=== Sarin Gas Controversy (04:00) ===

[00:00:00]  This is about the large-scale indiscriminate use of weapons that the
[00:00:15]  civilized world long ago decided must never be used at all.
[00:00:21]  The supposed use of sarin gas in Syria is now being used as a pretext for war.
[00:00:26]  But when did the civilized world decide that sarin gas shouldn't be used?
[00:00:30]  And how different is sarin gas from the weapons of mass destruction that the civilized world wants to use on innocent Syrian civilians?
[00:00:38]  Developed by the Nazis' own IG Farben, creators of Zyklon B used for mass murder in concentration camps, Sarin gas was a standard chemical military weapon of both the U.S.
[00:00:48]  and the USSR.
[00:00:49]  And in the 1950s, it was adopted by NATO as a standard chemical weapon.
[00:00:54]  The U.S.
[00:00:54]  military industrial complex made a science out of sarin delivery.
[00:00:59]  Pictured here is the M-134 bomblet, designed for the M-190 Honest John rocket warhead.
[00:01:04]  The bomblets carried sarin nerve agent and were released 5,000 feet above their target, saturating an area 1,000 meters in diameter with sarin gas.
[00:01:13]  Does Syria possess anything like that?
[00:01:16]  But of course, it was okay because we had it.
[00:01:18]  It defies any code of morality.
[00:01:21]  Let me be clear.
[00:01:23]  The indiscriminate slaughter of civilians, the killing of women and children, and innocent bystanders by chemical weapons is a moral obscenity.
[00:01:33]  After using and weaponizing sarin gas for over 40 years, the U.S.
[00:01:37]  signed a treaty in 1993 to ban its use.
[00:01:40]  Five years later, CNN and Time Magazine both broke a story about the U.S.' 's use of sarin gas during Vietnam.
[00:01:46]  In the firestorm of controversy, CNN and Time fired the reporters and declared the story false.
[00:01:52]  However, the reporters pushed back with a 77-page document backing up their allegations, and April Oliver won a $1 million lawsuit against CNN.
[00:02:01]  But just the presence of sarin gas in Syria, regardless of whether it was used by the rebels, by the CIA and Jordanian commandos that Le Figaro reported entered Syria a couple of weeks earlier, or whether it was actually the Syrian government, The use of chemical weapons is supposed to be justification for the U.S.
[00:02:17]  military-industrial complex to rain death down on tens or hundreds of times more innocent men, women, and children than were killed in this attack.
[00:02:25]  But chemical weapons experts not affiliated with the U.S.
[00:02:28]  government have cast doubt on whether sarin was actually the chemical used.
[00:02:33]  500 times more toxic than cyanide, it can kill within one minute.
[00:02:36]  And it will kill first responders who don't wear protective clothing.
[00:02:40]  That this apparently didn't happen makes it doubtful that the chemical used was sarin.
[00:02:45]  And how does sarin gas compare to weapons that the U.S.
[00:02:47]  has used and continues to use?
[00:02:50]  Millions of gallons of Agent Orange were dropped in Vietnam during the war.
[00:02:54]  Nearly 50 years later, three generations later, it is still showing up in horrible birth defects.
[00:03:00]  And it didn't just affect Vietnamese civilians.
[00:03:03]  American soldiers are dying from cancer and having difficulty getting the U.S.
[00:03:06]  government to accept responsibility, having to fight one by one against the VA.
[00:03:11]  And the U.S.
[00:03:12]  continues to use weapons that would mean a slow death sentence for those who survived the war, both U.S.
[00:03:17]  soldiers and foreign citizens.
[00:03:19]  That would be depleted uranium.
[00:03:21]  At about the same time the U.S.
[00:03:22]  agreed to ban the use of sarin gas, it reversed its policy and began exposing U.S.
[00:03:27]  soldiers to depleted uranium.
[00:03:29]  Like Agent Orange, it is also a persistent poison, killing slowly and causing birth defects.
[00:03:37]  Our sense of basic humanity is offended, not only by this cowardly crime, but also by the cynical attempt to cover it up.

=== Reach Out and Print (00:30) ===

[00:03:47]  The American government's hypocrisy over the use of weapons of mass destruction is a stench before heaven.
[00:03:52]  That they would use this to justify the murder of tens of thousands more people is what should offend our sense of humanity.
