    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarin

    Sarin without the residual acid removed degrades after a period of several weeks to several months. The shelf life can be shortened by impurities in precursor materials. According to the CIA, some Iraqi sarin had a shelf life of only a few weeks, owing mostly to impure precursors.

    Sarin has a high volatility (ease with which a liquid can turn into a gas) relative to similar nerve agents, therefore inhalation can be very dangerous and even vapor concentrations may immediately penetrate the skin. A person’s clothing can release sarin for about 30 minutes after it has come in contact with sarin gas, which can lead to exposure of other people.[28]

    Did anyone hear of any exposure that caused the death to birds, cats, dogs, rats, or any domestic animals?

    Were there any samples taken of soil etc. to prove that sarin was used?

    What should I think? Bad investigating and reporting or just plain propaganda.

    And people don’t froth at the mouth when exposed to sarin. It is a nerve gas after all.

    The oceans store most the heat that gets swapped out into the atmosphere from time to time (during el Niños). This heat makes its way to the poles and is ejected. Right now, the temperature of the atmosphere over the oceans is back where it was 35 years ago. No mention in the media – of course.

    It makes no sense, there is no logic.

    Of course there is. Trump had repeatedly said that the US had no interest in regime change in Syria. That policy, together with Assad’s recent military victories (Russian and Iranian victories) gave Assad the impression he could do anything he wanted with no consequences.

    On the other hand, if one believes that everything that happens is due to machinations by the CIA and NSA, then everything is a false flag event. Perhaps Trump had the CIA release the chemical weapons so that Trump could pretend to be upset and make a dramatic response (after warning his buddies in the Kremlin) and thereby deflect attention from his Russia problems.

    Or perhaps the deep state was feeling put out by their friction with the US president and faked all the photos of the so-called attack so that Trump would be upset and make a response that would ruin his covert relationship with Russia and put the deep state back in his good graces.

    Or perhaps Trump was pissed that when he met with Tulsi Gabbard she wouldn’t let him “grab her pussy” so he launched the cruise missiles into Assad’s bailiwick just to get back at Tulsi and her buddy Bashir.

    Or perhaps, since everything in the main stream media is fake news, neither the chemical attack nor the cruise missile response actually happened and all the media made it up just to make Trump look like a foolish flip-flopper.

    The possibilities are endless. How are we ever to find out the truth of the matter?

    “In an ever-changing, incomprehensible world the masses had reached the point where they would, at the same time, believe everything and nothing, think that everything was possible and that nothing was true… Mass propaganda discovered that its audience was ready at all times to believe the worst, no matter how absurd, and did not particularly object to being deceived because it held every statement to be a lie anyhow. 

    The totalitarian mass leaders based their propaganda on the correct psychological assumption that, under such conditions, one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust that if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would protest that they had known all along that the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness…

    The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists.”

    Russia has asked the OPCW to visit and analyze chemical samples on the ground in Khan Sheikhoun as part of this thing called “investigating”. The U.S. has so far refused, although obviously invited, welcome, and protected by Assad’s forces for this investigation. It will be interesting to see what results will be reported when the U.N. finally has, and finishes the investigation. Could it be that Sarin does not cause foaming at the mouth? Could it be that you can’t pick up Sarin-exposed people with your bare hands and wash them off with a garden hose? Could the 2013 Wikileaks email describing in detail the U.S. plan to create a chemical attack as a pretense to attack Assad be real?

    Well, don’t ask the NY Times: if it doesn’t promote war, they’ll never figure it out. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the Democratic party is trying to expel Gabbard for even questioning an illegal, unconstitutional, unprovoked attack on a soveriegn nation in “violation of international law” (h/t The Hill), because hitting 4 children and a turnip field means “He’s now our President” and as The Nation says, acting like this demonstrates “Trump’s Adherence To American Values”. Because that is what they believe our American values should be, even though American voters chose peace instead the 60th year in a row. Yellow ribbons for all.
