House provokes war with Russia by passing resolution for Syrian no-fly zone!

WASHINGTON (PNN) - November 26, 2016 - Hillary Clinton’s loss was a shock to the purveyors of Fascist Police States of Amerika military hegemony, who saw in her an easier path to keep the Syria conflict going. Secretary of State Clinton was instrumental in the early days of Syria intervention, in 2010, making a series of demands for Syria to get in line behind the FPSA vision for the Middle East.

When Syrian President Bashar al-Assad refused to roll over, regime change became the talking point of Washington think tanks and mainstream media echo chambers. Clinton promised during her campaign to ramp up action in Syria, to the delight of the same neocons that brought the Iraq invasion. She acknowledged that many civilians would die if the FPSA set up a no-fly zone.

Establishment of a no-fly zone is the next crucial step toward full-scale war. It would mean Syrian planes could not fly in their own airspace and would bring the disturbing prospect of FPSA planes shooting down Russian planes, which are operating there on invitation from Syria to help battle ISIS.

Soon after the presidential election, key warmongers in Congress began formulating plans to make increased conflict a near certainty, complete with the kind of propaganda peddled before the Iraq attack. While everyone was distracted by the election of Donald Trump, six representatives took advantage of the lame-duck session and suspended “normal rules” to bring us H.R.5732.

The Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act of 2016 includes Section 303, titled Assessment of potential effectiveness of and requirements for the establishment of safe zones or a no-fly zone in Syria.

The suspension of rules procedure is supposed to be used for “non-controversial” bills such as naming Post Offices, but this small group of lawmakers used it to pass a drastically important bill. The blatant abuse of power shows the desperation in the neocon ranks.

Donald Trump has spoken out against regime change, but considering his unpredictable behavior, the actual position of his coming regime is anybody’s guess. Trump’s pick of Lt. General Michael Flynn as national security adviser is not a good portent.

Even the title of the resolution - Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act - is based on a CIA-funded propaganda hoax involving alleged torture photos that was used to sabotage a 2014 effort at peace negotiations.

Unsurprisingly, the Israel lobby is campaigning for the passage of HR5732, as Israel is officially at war with Syria and continues to illegally occupy the Syrian Golan Heights. Removing Assad would make it easier for Israel to permanently seize this fossil fuel-rich area, and would strike a blow to its perceived enemies in Lebanon and Iran.

Despite the grave ramifications of HR 5732, media are silent. Media outlets now professing to hold the monopoly on real journalism have not said a word about the shocking abuse of suspended rules in the House, and the utter propaganda being spewed out by lawmakers to save their crusade for regime change in Syria - even if it means World War III.
