This adds a whole new twist ............ what a mess!

Chem.....?

[Madelaine Amee]

Chem.....?

The Daily Record reports the U.K. government allowed British companies to export chemicals needed to make sarin gas to Syria.

Sorry about that. I use FoxFire and this is on the front page, the whole story is available online. It sounds very dramatic, but there is a lot more to it when you read the whole story.

It really only goes to show that there is so much going on behind the headlines that we rarely hear, I wonder if we ever hear the truth about anything!

[kittygilchrist]

Is this the daily record in Scotland or in New Jersey or North Carolina or....?

[Bucco]

Is this Daily Record sort of like the Daily Caller, a totally bogus made-up news source?

Here is the link

Revealed: Britain sold nerve gas chemicals to Syria 10 months after 'civil unrest' began - Daily Record (http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/revealed-britain-sold-nerve-gas-2242520)

HOWEVER before everyone gets crazy....there are reports out there that....the rebels used the gas....that we knew in advance this would happen...
That the USA used this gas in the 80's.

Let us hope that time is taken to sort truth from fiction. We waited too long already to even discuss Syriia...lets hope we can get it right.

Let me assure you...we don't hear the truth about most things.

If we had to deal with FACTS and TRUTH, do you have any idea how many political campaigns would tank

True, just read TOTV daily!

Entire nations, religions, most institutions actually...

when one hears a "story" like the one about the UK selling sarin ingredients to Syria, one cannot take the information at face value.

The statement could very well be true....the components to make sarin gas.....what we don't know is what the purchased intent was for the components. Could have been for something that has no harmful intent what so ever.

The real questio should/could be was the seller even aware these were components to make sarin gas? Were the components sold to an entity that intended to make sarin gas? Was this use known to the seller? And so on.

There are so many reporting organizations and organizations about reporting organizations all experts at poetic lisence and omission of information that conveys the slant or agenda of any given report.

There is a saying that goes something like believe only half of what you see and none of what you hear or read....or something like that. It has never been more true that it is in this day and age of instant communications when the real objectives are agenda and being first.....nothing more.

btk: My sentiments exactly. We don't know. It seems in today's world of journalism journalist fit the fact to tell their story. its all about ratings and recognition and nothing about fact and credibility. So I might add to your belief half of what .....with I don't believe anything I read or hear any longer at least in the short term and wait for the rest of the story. People have become so gullible

You'll get the rest of the story 20 years later...if you're lucky.

Take Syria, what do we have as "evidence" of the atrocities? Some video? Some "testimony"? The "media", the government, telling us? Who took the video? Who's testimony are we hearing?

Remember the "nurse" in Kuwait who sparked outrage with her story of Iraqi troops murdering newborns in their nurseries? It was all a lie. This is probably a lie too.

This is part of destabilizing middle eastern governments. They're being taken down one by one. A nation in turmoil doesn't/can't put up a good fight.
