Pulitzer Prize Winning Journalist Exposes Hillary’s Knowledge of Secret Weapons ‘Rat Line’ Which Facilitated Sarin Gas Being Given to Syrian Rebels to Frame Assad
Renowned investigative journalist Seymour Hersh revealed striking evidence the United States — not oft-maligned Syrian President Bashar al-Assad — made possible the chemical weapons attack on civilians in Ghouta, Syria, on August 21, 2013. In fact, though the Obama administration squarely blamed Assad for that use of sarin gas, Hersh — for the first time — implicated Hillary Clinton and shadowy weapons dealings via the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
As Eric Zuesse explained in Strategic Culture, Hersh has not been the sole journalist calling out the questionable circumstances of the chemical attack, as there “have been multiple independent reports that Libya’s Gaddafi possessed such stockpiles, and also that the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi Libya was operating a ‘rat line’ for Gaddafi’s captured weapons into Syria through Turkey.”
Further, as Hersh previously reported, a highly-classified report detailing a secret agreement between the Obama administration and that of Turkey’s Erdoğan in 2012 showed “funding came from Turkey, as well as Saudi Arabia and Qatar; the CIA, with the support of MI6, was responsible for getting arms from Gaddafi’s arsenals into Syria.” And the entire operation was run by now-retired CIA director, David Petraeus — though he and all figures involved firmly deny the operation even took place.
Of Hillary Clinton’s involvement, Hersh told AlterNet in an interview that Ambassador Christopher Stevens, who died in the storming of the Benghazi embassy, “was certainly involved, aware and witting of everything that was going on. And there’s no way somebody in that sensitive of a position is not talking to the boss, by some channel.”

Report Shows Gov’t and Big Pharma Break Laws for Massive Profits
Pharmaceutical giants and health insurance corporations play an undeniable role in the skyrocketing costs of American healthcare. Instead of making care attainable for all — as the government farcically claimed it would — Obamacare has, in actuality, been a boon only for Big Pharma and Big Insurance. Though myriad reports have pointed out hospital overcharging and pharmaceutical price-gouging, little has been done to fix the issues — and patients in the U.S. are often left penniless or without treatment as a result.

Three Separate Nuclear Disasters Loom Near Major U.S. Cities
On the outskirts of St. Louis, an underground inferno at a landfill will likely soon connect with an ineptly-handled, illegal nuclear waste dump dating back to the Manhattan Project — and not even scientists agree on what might happen when it does. But that isn’t the only concern. Site owners and government officials have issued multiple contradictory reports, but massive flooding at the beginning of 2016 revealed radioactive contamination leaching from the site — and that is has been doing so for the past 42 years.
West Lake Landfill became a federal Superfund site for cleanup of nuclear waste when placed on the National Priorities List in 1990 — but little progress has been made. In fact, the location was never intended to hold radioactive material. An inept contractor hired to handle the World War II-era byproduct from a uranium processing plant illegally dumped the radioactive residue at West Lake — over 100,000 tons of it. Proper lining or storage facilities were obviously not a concern when the material was originally left at the site, so not only has the product seeped into groundwater for years, but the exact boundaries for the radioactive waste have never been fully mapped.
“The stuff we’re talking about at West Lake is hotter than what you would find in a typical uranium mill tailings operation,” warned Robert Alvarez, Senior Scholar for the Institute of Policy Studies, in an interview on the report he co-authored concerning the impending potential disaster.

It amazes me what is considered news-worthy and what is not in the main stream media these days.
