\"Douma<\/a>
Douma – images show plenty of children, precious few concerned parents.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We have a few hours to pray the US, UK and France do not start a war with Russia.\u00a0 The Western powers have the pretext of an alleged, unproven chemical attack in Douma.\u00a0 They will use that to start a war in Syria unless the Lord intervenes.\u00a0 Russia has pledged to retaliate, according to the Daily Express<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 US missiles will be shot down.<\/p>\n

Russia’s ambassador to Lebanon,\u00a0Alexander Zasypkin, told Hezbollah’s al-Manar TV:\u00a0“If there is a strike by the Americans then… the missiles will be downed and even the sources from which the missiles were fired.”<\/p>\n

The sources of missiles launches\u00a0 could include US ships.\u00a0 In the worst-case scenario, that could provide the US with a pretext to target Russia itself.<\/p>\n

Jer 4:19\u00a0 My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The UK Government is evil<\/h2>\n

The Syrian Arab Army is now securing Douma, the final town in Eastern Ghouta.\u00a0 Syria has just liberated the whole area from the jihadists who held its people hostage.\u00a0 Christians in Damascus have celebrated Easter according to their various traditions.\u00a0 As we reported here<\/a><\/strong>, for the first time in years they have done that free of jihadist missile strikes.\u00a0 Praise God for that freedom to worship the risen Lord Jesus.<\/p>\n

Yet whenever there is progress towards peace in Syria, the jihadists post pictures of alleged victims of a chemical attack.\u00a0 And naturally, Western politicians rush to condemn ‘Assad’ with no evidence at all that the alleged ‘attack’ even took place.<\/p>\n

We have to say, with sorrow, that our UK government is evil.\u00a0 Our politicians will not leave the Middle East in peace.\u00a0 Firstly, they thrive on lies.\u00a0 Secondly, they are men and women of war.\u00a0 Thirdly, they are supported by a sycophantic mainstream media.\u00a0 Fourthly, they think the British people are stupid.<\/p>\n

Romans 3:15\u00a0 Their feet are swift to shed blood:\u00a016\u00a0 Destruction and misery are in their ways:\u00a017\u00a0 And the way of peace have they not known:\u00a018\u00a0 There is no fear of God before their eyes.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Russians are now saying<\/a><\/strong> the UK Foreign Office pressed the ‘White Helmets’ to speed up the provocation in Douma.\u00a0 The UK funds the White Helmets<\/a><\/strong>, who are embedded with the jihadists.\u00a0 \u00a0International monitors from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons are in Douma now.\u00a0 \u00a0We hope they can shed some light on whether a chemical attack actually took place at all.<\/p>\n

Opposition is growing in the US<\/h2>\n
\"Tucker<\/a>
Tucker Carlson<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Thank God opposition is growing.\u00a0 In the US, on Fox News, Tucker Carlson blasted the call to declare war on Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad.\u00a0 He spoke of\u00a0‘Foreign Policy by Viral Video.’\u00a0 He was widely supported on Social Media.\u00a0 I tweeted<\/a><\/strong>, ‘At last someone in the US is speaking up for Syria. Who is there in the UK?’<\/p>\n

Carlson noted that shortly before the attack, President Donald Trump said he would like to see an end to American involvement in Syria.\u00a0 “How would [gassing civilians] benefit Assad?” Carlson asked.<\/p>\n

He said observers have been telling “the same story they did last April” after an alleged sarin attack.\u00a0 He was not defending Assad or the “rebels” but asking why so many people are jumping to conclusions.\u00a0 Indeed, he spoke critically of the President of Syria. He added he could have perpetrated the attack. But he also accused those who have tied it to him\u2014like Republican Senator Lindsey Graham and former Democratic National Committee Chair Howard Dean\u2014of building their case without evidence. The fact the desire to go to war in Syria had received bipartisan support was itself suspicious, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should be skeptical of this, starting with the poison gas attack itself,\u201d Carlson said. \u201cAll the geniuses tell us that Assad killed those children. But do they really know that? Of course they don\u2019t really know that\u2014they\u2019re making it up. They have no real idea what happened.\u201d Carlson’s piece on Fox News is well worth a watch.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

And here in the United Kingdom<\/h2>\n

Meanwhile, here in the UK, there actually is someone.\u00a0 The Chair of the Defence Select Committee warned last night of pitfalls of intervening in Syria.\u00a0 In what the Daily Express calls<\/a><\/strong> an ‘explosive BBC Newsnight interview’, Julian Lewis spoke against war.\u00a0 The\u00a0Conservative MP for New Forest East told Emily Maitlis ‘We touch this at our peril’.<\/p>\n

\"Newsnight-Emily<\/a>
Newsnight: Emily Mattis (left), Julian Lewis (centre)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

He told viewers the UK Government had ‘recommended bombing first one side, then the other and then the first side again.’\u00a0 He was concerned that ‘you do not seem to accept that what we\u2019ve got here in Syria is a choice between monsters on the one hand and maniacs on the other.’<\/p>\n

The influential MP said the House of Commons was right to vote against air strikes against Syria in 2013.\u00a0\u00a0He said: ‘2013 was exactly the right thing to do. If we had done what is now being suggested, which is what was being suggested then, which was to bring down Assad it would have had the exact same effect of bringing down other dictators.’<\/p>\n

Ms Maitlis reminded him: ‘You\u2019re opening up a whole can of worms there because you voted for the Iraq War.’\u00a0\u00a0In response, the MP replied humbly: ‘I did, and I made a mistake.’<\/p>\n

OPCW will go to Syria<\/h2>\n

There was welcome news last night that a team from the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons<\/a><\/strong> is now preparing to deploy to Syria.<\/p>\n

A statement said: ‘Today, the OPCW Technical Secretariat has requested the Syrian Arab Republic to make the necessary arrangements for such a deployment. This has coincided with a request from the Syrian Arab Republic and the Russian Federation to investigate the allegations of chemical weapons use in Douma. The team is preparing to deploy to Syria shortly.’<\/p>\n

We pray the Western powers will wait for the OPCW to report its findings.\u00a0 It’s a big prayer.\u00a0 But if we put some action with it, by emailing our members of parliament, we can show the Lord our prayer is serious.<\/p>\n

Jonah 3:9\u00a0 Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Morning Star gets it right (again)!<\/h2>\n

We don’t often agree with the far-left Morning Star newspaper.\u00a0 Nevertheless, on Syria, its editor, Ben Chacko, is bang on once again.<\/p>\n

In an editorial he condemns those ‘banging the drums of war’<\/strong>:<\/a>\u00a0‘The history of imperialist interference and intervention in the Middle East has been one of utter catastrophe for its peoples.<\/p>\n

‘In the scramble for control over resources, transport routes and regimes, Britain, France and the US have organised invasions, coups, wars and blockades that have killed or displaced people in their millions, empowering dictators and torturers and setting communities at each others\u2019 throats across the whole region.’<\/p>\n

Mr Chacko reminds us that what is referred to as ‘the Assad regime’ is\u00a0‘the internationally recognised, legitimate and elected government in Damascus’.<\/p>\n

Inconsistencies in Douma poison gas photos<\/h2>\n

Mr Chacko also points out some inconsistencies in\u00a0the alleged poison gas attack in Douma.<\/p>\n

He says: ‘Film of the aftermath, broadcast across the world in recent days, shows a troupe of very camera-conscious young men washing down the victims, all of whom are children, most of them looking more bewildered than wounded or incapacitated, and without a distressed parent or relative in sight.’<\/p>\n

In January, papers reported a chlorine attack in Ghouta. Now, RT reports,<\/a><\/strong> the Syrian Red Crescent says there was no such attack.<\/p>\n

The Mail Online\u2019s Peter Hitchens has a blog article<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0entitled \u2018Rushing to Judgment’.\u00a0 In it he raises questions over a previous alleged ‘attack’.\u00a0 He analyses the OPCW report on the Khan Shaykhun incident.\u00a0 Moreover, he finds it inconsistent and inconclusive.\u00a0 Elsewhere, he suggests that those of us who oppose military action are seen as betraying their country.\u00a0 We are seen as being in favour of foreign, enemy powers.\u00a0 Hitchens writes:\u00a0“This is an invariable symptom of a country whose elite is bent on war.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Rebel chemical weapons factory found in Ghouta<\/h2>\n
\"American-made<\/a>
American-made Saudi-supplied compressor for making chemical weapons in jihadist factory in Eastern Ghouta<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Exactly a month ago the Syrian Arab Army liberated a rural part of Eastern Ghouta. \u00a0They found a small factory kitted out to make and deliver chemical weapons.<\/p>\n

SteemKR brought together a series of tweets by Columbia University graduate and Oxford-based commentator Sharmine Narwani<\/a><\/strong>. \u00a0Firstly, she complains that no other journalist was interested:<\/p>\n

‘Sharmine Narwani was in East Ghouta on Tuesday, March 13, and she wrote this thread on Twitter:
\nI was 25 meters from a battlefront between Shifouniyeh and Misraba, areas recently liberated from militants. Western journalists flock to the humanitarian corridor in the north, but not a single one visited this makeshift chemical lab discovered by the Syrian Army on Monday, March 13 (2018).’<\/p>\n

Secondly, she points out that the Western powers went all quiet about chemical weapons! \u00a0Thirdly, she took numerous photos including one of a compressor supplied by the US to Saudi Arabia. \u00a0And fourthly, she observes our ‘ally’ Saudi Arabia supports the jihadists with money and equipment. \u00a0Because, contrary to what Saudi leader MbS says, only his government could have shipped this kit.<\/p>\n

Nigel Farage calls for caution<\/h2>\n

Nigel Farage has distanced himself from ‘friend for life’ Donald Trump, as RT puts it<\/a><\/strong>. \u00a0The Ex-UKIP leader is concerned over the President’s bellicose tweets threatening missile strikes. \u00a0He mentioned UK intervention in Libya and Iraq on his LBC radio program. \u00a0\u201cWe intervene, we get rid of these Arab nationalist dictators because we think it is the right thing to do, having never thought through what the long-term consequences are.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Mr Farage rejected the idea of military strikes even if Assad were found to be responsible. \u201cLook I don\u2019t know whether Assad used chemical weapons or not. I don\u2019t know why he would given he is winning the war anyway. But even if we knew it was him, and we decided we are going to attack military bases, attack the palace, if the result of concerted action with us, the Americans and the French results in the overthrow of Assad, is that the right thing for us to do?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWell we might think morally it is the right thing for us to do\u2026 because of some of the horrible, awful things he has done. But what comes next? Chaos, instability and maybe a chance for ISIS [Islamic State\/IS] to build its forces again.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat in the longer term are we actually trying to achieve?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Keep praying<\/h2>\n

Ex-UK-ambassador Craig Murray rules out any possibility ‘that Assad is dropping chemical weapons in Ghouta’.\u00a0 In a blog post, he suggests<\/a><\/strong>: ‘In this extraordinary war, where Saudi-funded jihadist head choppers have Israeli air support and US and UK military \u201cadvisers\u201d, every time the Syrian army is about to take complete control of a major jihadist enclave, at the last moment when victory is in their grasp, the Syrian Army allegedly attacks children with chemical weapons, for no military reason at all. We have been fed this narrative again and again and again.’<\/p>\n

Keep praying for peace<\/strong>, and email your MP<\/strong> to warn of the pitfalls of rushing to war against Syria, especially on such a flimsy pretext.\u00a0 \u00a0Urge Parliament send bricks, not bombs, to Syria.\u00a0 Ask your MP to support the Syrian government and its Christian minority and help rebuild Syria.\u00a0 Yes, despite Bashar Al-Assad remaining in power!\u00a0\u00a0Find your MP in this Parliament link<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Luke 1:78\u00a0 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,\u00a079\u00a0 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

We’ll really appreciate your support
