The Ghouta Chemical Attacks: US-Backed False Flag? Killing Syrian Children to Justify a “Humanitarian” Military Intervention
By Julie Lévesque and Prof Michel Chossudovsky
Mother Agnes Mariam de  la Croix, author of the controversial ISTEAMS Report
The chemical attacks which took place in East Ghouta on August 
21, 2013 could be the most horrific false flag operation in history. 
To date, available evidence indicates that numerous children were
 killed by “opposition rebels”, their bodies manipulated and filmed with
 a view to blaming the Syrian government for the attacks, thus sparking 
outrage and galvanizing worldwide public opinion in favor of another 
bloody, imperial US-led war.
While confirming the use of chemical weapons against civilians, the UN report has failed to identify the authors of the attacks:
Instead of a non-politicized 
investigation and lab analysis, the UN investigation of alleged 
nerve-gas attacks inside Syria was led by Professor Ake Sellstrom, a man
 of mystery who keeps a veil of secrecy around his research and 
political-military relationships…
This cosmetic veneer of Swedish 
neutrality has been deftly exploited by Israel and NATO to perpetrate 
falsehoods throughout Sellstrom’s work for the UN, including denial of 
the chemical-and-biological causes for “Gulf War Syndrome” and the 
shipments of U.S. chemical weapons to the Saddam Hussein regime…
What is publicly known about Sellstrom is that the biochemist heads the European CBRNE Center
 [Center for advanced Studies of Societal Security and Vulnerability, in
 particular major incidents with (C)hemical, (B)iological, 
(R)adiological, (N)uclear and (E)xplosive substances], at Umea 
University in northern Sweden, which is sponsored by the Swedish Defense
 Ministry (FOI)…
Umea University is deeply involved in 
joint research with Technion (Israel Institute of Technology), the 
Haifa-based university that provides state-of-art technology to the 
Israel Defense Force (IDF) and its intelligence agencies. Several 
departments, which are involved in joint Israeli research, participate 
in multidisciplinary studies at Sellstrom’s CBRNE center…
American ambassador to the UN Samantha 
Power made emphatically clear that the “nerve gas used in Syria was more
 concentrated than the nerve gas in Iraq.” Her statement should be 
rephrased as: “Saddam may have trans-shipped U.S.-supplied nerve gas 
into Syria, but it wasn’t our nerve gas used against Syrian civilians.”
That is the essential point of the 
Sellstrom report: To take Washington off the hook for being the major 
supplier of nerve gas precursors, formulations, delivery technology and 
storage systems to the Middle East, including Israel, Egypt, Libya, Iraq
 and very possibly Syria (during the Clinton era of good will).
The UN report of chemical weapons on 
Syria lacks basic credibility due to the duplicitous record of its chief
 inspector, Ake Sellstrom, who is politically and financially 
compromised at every level. (Yoichi Shimatsu, The Sellstrom Report: The United Nations’ Syria Inspector Shills for NATO and Israel)
A day before the release of the UN Mission report, another carefully 
documented report by Mother Agnes Mariam de la Croix and the 
International Support Team for Mussalaha in Syria (ISTEAMS) was released
 with minimal media coverage.  (To read the full report in pdf click here large pdf slow download)
Its findings are unequivocal: the videos used by the US and its allies as evidence to blame the Syrian government were staged.
The study says:
From the moment when some families of 
abducted children contacted us to inform us that they recognized the 
children among those who are presented in the videos as victims of the 
Chemical Attacks of East Ghouta, we decided to examine the videos 
thoroughly…
Our first concern was the fate of the 
children we see in the footages.  Those angels are always alone in the 
hands of adult males that seem to be elements of armed gangs. The 
children that trespassed remain without their families and unidentified 
all the way until they are wrapped in the white shrouds of the burial. 
Moreover our study highlights without any doubt that their little bodies
 were manipulated and disposed with theatrical arrangements to figure in
 the screening.
If the studied footages were edited and 
published to exhibit pieces of evidence to accuse the Syrian State of 
perpetrating the chemical attacks on East Ghouta, our discoveries 
incriminate the editors and actors of forged facts through a lethal 
manipulation of unidentified children. (Mother Agnes Mariam de la Croix 
and the International Support Team for Mussalaha in Syria (ISTEAMS), The Chemical Attacks in East Ghouta Used to Justify a Military Intervention in Syria)
Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya who examined the report writes:
The independent ISTEAMS study contradicts
 the assertions of the Obama Administration and the entire US 
Intelligence Community […] through simple observations of the video 
material that has been put forward as evidence by the United States.
The ISTEAMS report does not deny that 
chemical weapons were used or that innocent Syrians have been killed. 
What the study does is logically point out through its observations that
 there is empirical evidence that the sample of videos that the US 
Intelligence Community has analyzed and nominated as authentic footage 
has been stage-managed.  This is an important finding, because it 
refutes the assertions of the representatives of the US Intelligence 
agencies who testified that the videos they authenticated provide 
evidence that a chemical weapons attack by the Syrian government took 
place in East Ghouda. (Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya, Look With Your Own Eyes: The Videos of the Chemical Attacks in Syria Show Tampered Scenes)
A lot of things do not add up in the footage presented by the US government.
 The same little boy in red is in two different locations
At least nine of these children appear in different footage from different locations
 A little boy that appears in two different videos with two different scenarios
Among a series of important findings, the ISTEAMS report notes that 
even though the attacks are said to have killed up to 1400 people, 
mostly children appear in the videos and several corpses are shown in 
different videos said to have been shot in various locations.
While this report seriously challenges the assertion that the Syrian 
government was behind the attacks, it was not covered by the Western 
mainstream media, toeing the imperial line and parroting Washington’s 
claims, which still lack evidence and credibility.
In addition, some controversy arose pertaining to allegations that 
the rebels were responsible for the attacks and used chemical weapons 
provided by Saudi intelligence. Dale Gavlak, the co-author of an article containing these allegations, now wants to dissociate herself from the article and is facing threats. Her career is in jeopardy:
The MintPress article, published on 29th 
August, through interviews with rebels, family members, and villagers in
 Eastern Ghouta, alleges that elements within the opposition were 
responsible for the alleged chemical weapons attack on 21st August, and 
that those chemical munitions had been supplied through Saudi 
intelligence chief, Prince Bandar bin Sultan…
Dale is under mounting pressure for 
writing this article by third parties. She notified MintPress editors 
and myself on August 30th and 31st via email and phone call, that third 
parties were placing immense amounts of pressure on her over the article
 and were threatening to end her career over it. She went on to tell us 
that she believes this third party was under pressure from the head of 
the Saudi Intelligence Prince Bandar himself, who is alleged in the 
article of supplying the rebels with chemical weapons.
On August 30th, Dale asked MintPress to 
remove her name completely from the byline because she stated that her 
career and reputation was at risk. She continued to say that these third
 parties were demanding her to disassociate herself from the article or 
these parties would end her career. On August 31st, I notified Dale 
through email that I would add a clarification that she was the writer 
and researcher for the article and that Yahya [Ababneh] was the reporter
 on the ground, but did let Gavlak know that we would not remove her 
name as this would violate the ethics of journalism. (Phil Greaves, Syria: Controversy surrounding MintPress Chemical Weapons Ghouta Report)
The information according to which Saudi intelligence was allegedly 
implicated in the Ghouta chemical attacks was mentioned by a UN official
 who wished to remain anonymous:
A senior United Nations official who 
deals directly with Syrian affairs has told Al-Akhbar that the Syrian 
government had no involvement in the alleged Ghouta chemical weapons 
attack: “Of course not, he (President Bashar al-Assad) would be 
committing suicide.”
When asked who he believed was 
responsible for the use of chemical munitions in Ghouta, the UN 
official, who would not permit disclosure of his identity, said:“Saudi intelligence was behind the attacks and unfortunately nobody will dare say that.” The official claims that this information was provided by rebels in Ghouta…
The UN official’s accusations mirror 
statements made earlier this year by another senior UN figure Carla del 
Ponte, who last May told Swiss TV in the aftermath of alleged CW attacks
 in Khan al-Asal, Sheik Maqsood and Saraqeb that there were “strong, 
concrete suspicions but not yet incontrovertible proof,” that rebels had
 carried out the attack. Del Ponte also observed that UN inspectors had 
seen no evidence of the Syrian army using chemical weapons, but added 
that further investigation was necessary. (Sharmine Narwani and Radwan 
Mortada, Questions Plague UN Syria Report. Who was behind the East Ghouta Chemical Weapons Attack?)
All of the above leads us to believe that this attack was one of the 
most horrific crimes committed in modern history, a diabolical staged 
operation which consisted in killing small children, producing fake 
video footage and photo ops of the corpses, all of which was intended to
 fabricate a pretext for military intervention under a humanitarian 
mandate.
The mainstream media which has obfuscated these crimes bear a heavy 
burden of responsibility. The New York Times has smeared the findings of
 Mother Agnes and her team, accusing her of “defending the regime” and 
“playing the Christian card”.  The NYT casually dismisses the evidence 
that the videos are fake. Read the ISTEAMS Report and then judge for 
yourself.
The war criminals who designed and launched this diabolical staged operation must face justice.
Procedures in the United Nations Security Council directed against the Syrian government  must be suspended.
