Are Obama’s sarin videos released to CNN propaganda?

At least celebrated investigative journalist Jake Tapper admits that the Obama videos depicting sarin attacks in Syria, released by CNN 8 p.m, last night could not be verified for authenticity.

“CNN cannot independently verify the authenticity of these videos but we’re reporting on them because we have verified the Obama administration is showing them to members of congress as they hope to build a case to support military strikes against the Assad regime.” (CNN, Sept. 7, 2013). If CNN cannot independently verify the authenticity of these videos, then why are they showing them? Some 13 videos graphically depicting the gruesome Sarin attack in Syria make up the White House compilation video turned over to CNN, even though many of them had been previously posted on YouTube. But Tapper points out that the CNN collection of footage is “significant” because the Intelligence Community has given it a stamp of authenticity.

More significantly, the video images CNN described as “hard-to-stomach” were already shown by the Obama administration to a select group of senators in closed-door briefings to make the case that a limited military attack on Syria is justified. In other words, a “select group of senators” were shown the videos on Thursday, but the television and Internet world got to release them two days later on Saturday. The 13 different videos shown to Congress show the Syrian victims of sarin gas on August 21. Senators were told that their authenticity was verified by the intelligence community. Make that the same intelligence community that has admitted wholesale spying on American citizens through the NSA database. In being dragged into war on Syria, the entire world must buy into President Barack Obama’s graphic video display. Readers should remember that it was an obscure video that Obama, Hillary Clinton and Susan Rice blamed for the death of four courageous Americans during the Benghazi, Libya terrorist attack. Many of the videos posted previously on YouTube depict men sprawled on a tile floor, shirtless and convulsing. Children, too, seemingly unable to control their shaking and flailing. Panic and screams in the background. (CNN) Question: Where there are children, there would be women, but there is no mention of women by CNN. Why? “The videos capture a moment of panic, as those who are standing try to feed water to those who appear incapacitated. Prayers are repeated.” Sarin, estimated to be 500 times more toxic than cyanide, is fatal within one minute. Why do the first responders, whoever they are, seem unaffected? Even a person’s clothing can release sarin for about 30 minutes after an attack. “Even at very low concentrations, sarin can be fatal within one minute after direct ingestion of a lethal dose, due to suffocation from lung muscle paralysis, unless some antidotes, typically atropine or Biperiden and pralidoxime, are quickly administered to a person. People who absorb a non-lethal dose, but do not receive immediate medical treatment, may suffer permanent neurological damage. “Initial symptoms following exposure to sarin are a runny nose, tightness in the chest and constriction of the pupils. Soon after, the victim has difficulty breathing and experiences nausea and drooling. As the victim continues to lose control of bodily functions, the victim vomits, defecates and urinates. This phase is followed by twitching and jerking. Ultimately, the victim becomes comatose and suffocates in a series of convulsive spasms.  “Sarin has a high volatility (ease with which a liquid can turn into a gas) relative to similar nerve agents, therefore inhalation can be very dangerous and even vapor concentrations may immediately penetrate the skin. A person’s clothing can release sarin for about 30 minutes after it has come in contact with sarin gas, which can lead to exposure of other people. People who absorb a non-lethal dose but do not receive immediate appropriate medical treatment may suffer permanent neurological damage.” (Wikipedia) Then how is it that the rooms depicted in all of the White House videos we’re seeing look so remarkably unsoiled? Sarin often claims secondary victims. Were there any survivors? Where are they? How is it that so many mainstream outlets managed to be there to film the panic scene on August 21st, when sarin death is documented to be so quick. (See for yourself the logos stamped on the videos). This is the all-telling timeline of the White House released sarin videos: On Tuesday, the Democrat-controlled Senate on Foreign Relations, headed by Democrat Senator Robert Menendez of New Jersey and Republican Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee, reached an agreement on a resolution calling on the use of military force against Syria. Two days later, the Obama administration sent the video to the Senate Committee on Intelligence. Thanks to Senator Harry Reid, Obama already had the Senate in his pocket. Why weren’t the videos shown to the House Committee on Intelligence? Obama’s videos should be independently viewed by outside intelligence for any veracity.
