Special Reports & Tweets - 20130831_SpecialReport_Alex Aired: 2013-08-31 Duration: 04:07 === Rebels and Chemical Weapons (03:07) === [00:00:00] My name is Ben Kessler. [00:00:13] I was in the Marine Corps from 2002 to 2006. [00:00:14] I was infantry, served in Afghanistan in 2004. [00:00:20] I'm out here today because I don't want to see us starting a war in Syria. [00:00:23] I'm Dr. Laura Presley and I'm out here for the rally against the war in Syria that President Obama has been proposing. [00:00:30] Proper action for us to take is to help in a diplomatic process. [00:00:36] I mean there's a lot of different options that don't involve Bombing or sending troops to Syria and all of those options are better than the military options [00:00:46] This president needs to remember that he was awarded the Peace Prize his first term and that war is not peace. [00:00:55] And yesterday I called Cornyn's office, Senator Ted Cruz's office, and Representative Congressman Mike McCaul's office and said they need to be taking a leadership role here in the state of Texas and hold President Obama accountable for this. [00:01:10] The U.S. [00:01:11] can never be a force for good in intervening throughout the world, especially in the Middle East. [00:01:17] And this seems to be a transparent attempt by the U.S. [00:01:21] to put in someone friendly to serve as a bulwark against the Arab revolutions that have been going on since really 2011. [00:01:29] It's coming out in the mainstream press, let alone the alternative media, that these Rebels that we're supposedly supporting are, in fact, Al-Qaeda, and it's the rebels that are launching the chemical weapons, which is supposedly the justification that why we're going in the first place. [00:01:46] It's the rebels and not the Assad regime that have launched chemical weapons. [00:01:51] Yesterday, the United States presented a powerful case that the Syrian government was responsible for this attack on its own people. [00:02:01] Our intelligence shows the Assad regime and its forces preparing to use chemical weapons, launching rockets in the highly populated suburbs of Damascus, and acknowledging that a chemical weapons attack took place. [00:02:16] They have no evidence. [00:02:18] There's nothing. [00:02:19] All I've heard is Trying to put blame on them and absolutely no hard facts so I'm not buying it. [00:02:28] All the just wars that we've been having lately Afghanistan Iraq and I mean, there is a little thing, well it's not little, but there is a thing going on in Syria of them hurting their own people, but that doesn't mean America has to just come and meddle with it. [00:02:51] I mean, we're always, like, just minding other people's business. === Verifying Total Control (01:14) === [00:02:55] Like, we're always getting into other people's business. [00:02:59] That's probably why we get into so many wars and I think if we just mind our own business [00:03:04] then this world would just be so much of a better place. [00:03:07] Are we choosing our own destiny or has it been pre-selected for us? [00:03:16] As we've moved through history, every great leader has had to understand the potential of information. [00:03:22] Billions of dollars have been spent privately and publicly looking at how to tap into your psyche. [00:03:30] From compulsory state education to the Hollywood media brainwashing machine, we are kept in perpetual bondage to the ideas that shape our actions. [00:03:39] When somebody obscures that feedback loop between you observing and testing it out and verifying it, they can take total control of your awareness. [00:03:46] All of this is happening so fast, you need to be ahead of the game. [00:03:49] How to engineer the opinion of the American people so that they would not only endorse but demand a war. [00:03:59] State of Mind. [00:04:00] Because there's a war on. [00:04:01] For your mind. [00:04:03] Get your copy of State of Mind the movie at InfoWars.com.
