The bombshell report by Pulitzer Prize-winning veteran journalist Seymour Hersh titled, “The Red Line and the Rat Line,”
contains many shocking revelations for those following the West’s
version of reality regarding the Syrian conflict. It particularly sheds
new light on the August 2013 chemical attack that left over a thousand
dead (US estimates) and thousands more affected.
It
reveals that not only was the Syrian government not behind the attack,
but that it was a false flag operation designed specifically to serve as
an impetus for Western military intervention. It also reveals that the
West’s desire to intervene in the wake of the chemical attack was not
to disarm Syria of its chemical weapons as was stated to the public, but
instead was intended to completely destroy the Syrian military and save
its militant proxies who were already well on their way to losing the
war.
However,
for all the revelations it contains, it provides only a glimpse into
the greater conspiracy the West has been engaged in, grossly
understating the unfolding truth of the West’s role behind the
devastating conflict that is consuming Syria. To understand the entire
picture, one must examine Hersh’s work stretching back as far as 2007.
Hersh’s Syrian Trilogy
Taken
alone, Hersh’s latest report is damning. Taken together with two
previous pieces, spanning a total of 7 years of analysis and
investigative journalism, Hersh’s work paints a picture of a West
engaged in a diabolical, premeditated conspiracy to mire Syria in a
sectarian bloodbath for the purpose of achieving regime change in
Damascus and undermining neighboring Iran. It becomes clear upon reading
Hersh’s work, that the chemical attack in Damascus was not only
perpetrated by the West, but was done to trigger a greater war on top of
the carnage the West has already intentionally sown.
Hersh’s first piece published in the New Yorker in March 2007 titled, “The Redirection: Is the Administration’s new policy benefitting our enemies in the war on terrorism?”
reveals that the current conflict in Syria was in fact first engineered
during the Bush administration. It states in no uncertain terms that
