The Government of the United Kingdom has begun to attack numerous British Citizens for engaging in free speech and opinionated thought on social media - and most recently has targeted a popular Twitter user for his criticism of strikes inside of Syria - of which many believe there was no evidence to support the claims of Coalition leaders.

The strikes in Syria which occurred on April 13th of 2018 were alleged to be in response to the claims that Syria's leader Bashar al-Assad had engaged in the use of chemical weapons, although several reports seem to suggest that there's no evidence that such an attack occurred.

The official response, one that Ian56 has argued, is that Bashar al-Assad was engaged in airstrikes on enemy positions, and as his Air Force dropped a payload on anti-Government forces who were in possession of chemical weapons, causing them to detonate.

Chemical weapons are extremely easy to produce, especially the chemical weapons in which the United States of America's leadership has alleged were used.

General Mattis himself stated that there's absolute evidence chlorine gas was used, but that there was no way to determine who was responsible for the attack.

Sky News brought Ian56 onto their network for an interview allowing him a chance to respond, where it appeared as if there was a coordinated effort to cut the gentleman off mid-speech and ask what seemed to be premeditated questions to reinforce the UK Government’s allegations against him.

Here's the complete interview on Sky News:

That's quite a powerful interview with Ian56, who regardless of you agree or disagree with his views, has refuted the obvious efforts at defamation from the United Kingdom's governance.

It's important to note that Ian56 also points out the fact that Theresa May, who indeed authorized the use of military support on behalf of the United Kingdom, has a financial incentive from BAE Systems, whose stock increased as a result of the strikes.

In the interview, Ian56 makes more than few fantastic points, and when speaking to him prior to writing this article for The Goldwater, he asked that we give credence to the report from Robert Fisk, of which<a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/syria-chemical-attack-gas-douma-robert-fisk-ghouta-damascus-a8307726.html"> The Independent </a>published previously.

Fisk took a trip to the town of Douma, where he traveled into the underground clinic, surrounded by rubble from coalition airstrikes over the years, where the alleged images of a “gas attack” were taken.

Those images would land on the desks of France’s Emmanuel Macron, the United Kingdom's Theresa May, and the 45th President of the United States of America, Donald Trump.

After seeing the heartbreaking video and images of the attack which was alleged to have occurred on Douma, the Coalition would later strike what they called “three chemical research facilities,” in an epic response to “send a message to Assad,” a tactic that caused quite a stir on social media.

Robert Fisk, however, believes from what he's learned, that there is zero evidence that chemical weapons were ever used at all, let alone by the government of Bashar al-Assad.

An excerpt from Robert Fisk reads:

<blockquote>”58-year old senior Syrian doctor then adds something profoundly uncomfortable: the patients, he says, were overcome not by gas but by oxygen starvation in the rubbish-filled tunnels and basements in which they lived, on a night of wind and heavy shelling that stirred up a dust storm.</blockquote>

<i>This is a man who was on the ground in the same facility where the footage would later come out of.</i>

Fisk continues:

<blockquote>”As Dr. Assim Rahaibani announces this extraordinary conclusion, it is worth observing that he is by his own admission, not an eyewitness himself and, as he speaks good English, he refers twice to the jihadi gunmen of Jaish el-Islam [the Army of Islam] in Douma as “terrorists” – the regime’s word for their enemies, and a term used by many people across Syria.</blockquote>

There are countless loyalists to the President of the United States of America, including myself, who support the decision of the Commander in Chief to engage in a strike. Whilst war is not an option I'd ever like to see occur, the President made the decision, and after such, as citizens, we must support our President regardless if we agree or disagree.

Still, the questions of who was responsible for the chemical attack linger, with almost half of the American people believing that Bashar al-Assad would gas his own people, and the other half arguing as to why Assad would do this when he'd already won the war, and reclaimed 90% of Syria from the Islamic terrorists in his nation.

Bashar al-Assad is engaged in heavy fighting against both Al Nusra, and ISIS (Islamic State), and has been since the beginning of the Syrian civil war.

However, Syria is a complex nation, whereas there are several dozen rebel groups, fighters, islamic terrorist organizations, militias (both anti-Assad and pro-Assad), Russian forces, Iranian backed rebel groups including Iranian Special Forces, Muslim Brotherhood, Kurdish forces, Turkish Forces, United Kingdom Forces, Jordanian Forces, Egyptian Forces, Libyan Forces, Israeli Forces, Qatari Forces, Saudi Arabia Forces, the Free Iraqi Army, People's Mujahideen of Iran, United Syrian Army, National Defence, Free Palestine Movement, among many others participating on the ground, air, and waters surrounding the nation of Syria.

I'm sure most of the world has no idea as to the combined total number of forces from around the world engaged in the “Syrian civil war,” and would be shocked to understand the immense amount of foreign-financed operations occurring.

If you were to break down the political factions and supporters, that number of various sects only continues to increase.

On the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant there are several factions including Dokumacılar, Islamic Muthanna Movement, Jaysh al-Jihad, Yarmouk Martyrs Brigade, Khalid ibn al-Walid Army, Liwa Dawud, Soldiers of al-Aqsa and the Military of ISIL, and a few others.

With a population of 18,028,549 citizens and a nearly $2 billion defense budget, Syria is a largely populated country in the Middle East in which Assad has remained a solvent leader throughout the Syrian civil war.

That being said, the interests who have attempted to cause western intervention in Syria have been heavily pushed from the likes of Senator John McCain (R-AZ), who in 2015 requested and received $500 million US taxpayer dollars to both fund and train “moderate rebels” to defeat ISIS.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

The problem with that money comes from the fact that US Central Command General Lloyd Austin testified that out of five hundred million dollars, only “four or five” fighters were trained.

No, that's not a typo. Four or five people were trained to fight ISIS with over $500 million taxpayer dollars.

This leaves so many questions as to where the remaining cash went, and what exactly is the United States of America actually funding inside of Syria?

<div style="width:100%;text-align:center;margin:0 auto;"><iframe width="360" height="202" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/00eJTLJGlmQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>

No doubt these concerns have many people questioning the motives of the Syria strikes, including the reported “official story” behind the attack.

Whether or not you agree with Ian56, he's clearly being targeted for speaking what's deemed as “wrongthink,” thoughts or opinions designed to counter that of the UK Government.

He is not a “Russian Bot,” but a man who shares an opinion that millions of others agree with.

To add insult to injury, websites like Twitter are now trying to censor Ian56 and initially suspended his account.

There's an old saying, “you don't need to make up laws to protect history, unless you are trying to protect a lie,” and the attacks against Ian56 on both an international level, coming from propaganda via the UK government, as well as censorship on Twitter, certainly highlight a strange series of occurrences.

Could there be some other motive behind the gas attack? Could Assad indeed be innocent of this?

It's certainly possible, as we know there was no on-the-ground investigation.

That being said whether it is, or isn't true; these attacks against Ian56 are far more concerning than anything else.
