Yes, because despite knowing how many hacking attempts and cyberattacks there have been, they're going to put their big plan in an email accessible to the net, instead of say, picking up a phone, or having a face to face meeting, or hell, even using Skype. And they're not going to use innocent sounding words or even try to disguise what they're taking about. Makes perfect sense to me.

Yeah, I guess nothing (including documents) can be faked these days !
Good grief, If ATS was around in the 1940's it would have accused the USA of killing millions of Jews so it could have an excuse to invade Europe. Don't laugh, unless you can laugh at whats happening now.

How about this:
Creating obfuscation is a hallmark of these operations. Remember Benghazi? Remember the press running around for the longest trying to figure out some dude and a video? It had no bearing on reality but I remember ATSer's arguing over the fine points as if they and they alone held some analytical high ground and that alone would determine the truth. We still do not know what happened there but by-god the "fact checkers" got a belly full of decoy and felt smug while doing it. Never mind that now the video seems ridiculous as a casus belli.
OK. Here we go again. Faked emails! Lawsuit! Russians! Dead children! Belly up to the buffet. Careful promenading around this one as there are so many rabbit holes one is libel to twist a proverbial ankle.
This game plan should be familiar; it only has a few plays and lately there have been few breaks in the action. Forget the nerve gas details, you are not meant to find them out and they aren't important anyway (except to the poor souls in the morgue). Instead, watch who benefits from the manufactured outrage over its use. That would be my clue as to who had a role in it.
Disclaimer: I hold no magical knowledge on this one. I have no esoteric insight. It is simply history repeating itself. Arguing over how the USS Maine sunk is nowhere near as useful as how the event was spun for someone's benefit and the long term results.

its possibility.

I'm not sure if getting it from a hacker proves it a hoax... it doesn't dis-prove it either

I imagine many people on here considered the possibility of false flag chemical weapon attacks. I know I did.
What I think is funny is how so many people, so quickly, seem quite happy to accept Alex Jones' reports as being incontrovertible truth. I thought most people on here distrusted everything he said.
And yet in this case everyone believes him.

thanks for this.
i am not surprised to hear something like this, at the moment you have Russia, Syria, Iran & China blaming the rebels & the USA, UK, France blaming Syria Government, the truth is that we will never really know who did it.
my reasoning is that Assad knew what would happen if he used chems & it wasn't worth taking the risk of using them because it would cause more damage if he was found out.

Oh shut up with this false-flag # every time someone gets a parking ticket.
I am wondering aloud about where ATS would be like if we could somehow vet new members better. The core of the site and members is still solid. But the cancer of paranoia, politics and media are leaking into the fringes and too much of the site is becoming like any other slanted hate-rage extremism you can find on Youtube or lesser forums.
I am not making any judgement on this attack.
I am also sorry for the rant guys. Truly. But this site is something better than what is out there and I hope we can keep it that way for a while longer at least.
