text: March 20, 2014 (Tony Cartalucci - LD) - Since the beginning of 2013, Syrian troops had begun an irreversible push to take back territory overrun by foreign-backed militants, including along Syria's borders with Lebanon and Jordan. Today, cities long lost to these militants once again have the Syrian flag waving above them, their people liberated, and the deadly toll of occupation finally being tallied before the global public.
  The strategic turn in Syria's favor was noted by geopolitical analysts long before the Damascus chemical weapons attack in the summer of 2013. When Western nations used "desperation" as a motive for the attack, which they squarely blamed on the Syrian government, those watching Syria's systematic victories against the West's proxy militants immediately suspected a false flag attack - one that was carried out by either the West, or one of its regional collaborators.
  The now fully discredited 4 page White House "intelligence assessment" regarding the attacks, claimed specifically:
  The Washington Post, in its usual role disseminating and reinforcing official fabrications, claimed in its article, "More than 1,400 killed in Syrian chemical weapons attack, U.S. says," that (emphasis added):
  Of course, even at face value, nothing about the White House's "assessment" nor the Washington Post's analysis adds up, including why the Syrian government would attack "densely packed eastern suburbs" and then be "surprised" by a high civilian death toll. More logically, those seeking to incriminate the Syrian government picked packed suburbs specifically to exact a high civilian death toll.
  Now with the Western media incapable of covering up Syria's tactical and strategic gains against even the most entrenched militant strongholds, the tenuous nature of August 2013's lies spun by the West, including citing "desperation" as a motive, are more apparent than ever.
  Image: Chemical weapons were used extensively during the 8 year Iran-Iraq War during the 1980's. Despite vast quantities of chemical agents being used, both mustard and nerve gas, these "weapons of mass destruction" would only constitute 2-3% of all of the war's casualties. Not only had the West lied about Syria using chemical weapons, but they also lied to the world about the threat posed by such weapons in the first place. With Syria clearly and irreversibly winning victories against the so-called "rebels" through the use of conventional weapons, it is clear that the supposed motive of August 2013's Damascus attack was also an overt and intentional fabrication.
  As the West pursues a dangerous confrontation with Russia via the Eastern European nation of Ukraine and the newly independent region of Crimea, the global public must recall how events like the August 2013 Damascus "chemical attack" were insidiously executed, lied about, and eventually buried when their political capital was spent.
  With snipers attacking both Crimean and Ukrainian troops in Crimea, seeking a pretext for the West to further intervene in the standoff, the public must draw from a much longer collective memory, or once again blindly grope from one crisis to the next with habitual, practiced deceivers holding their hands.
  The aerial incendiary proactive burning program funded and promoted aerial incendiary runs, mapped and interpreted the firescars that resulted from these burns, and then reviewed the outcomes to determine the effectiveness of the program.
  Farming Carbon on the Cape: New opportunities for landholders through early season savanna burning | Cape York Land Manager
  The agreement is supported by Olkola Traditional Owners and the respective traditional landholders from Pormpuraaw Aboriginal Shire Council. Early season burning will enable the organisations to enter into the carbon market through the commercial joint venture.
  Michael Ross, Chairman of Olkola Aboriginal Corporation said the choice to establish a carbon business is a major step forward and means a great deal to the Olkola people.
  “Now we have this opportunity, it is something we have to get started – when I’m too old or my children are too old, the younger generations will be managing the land. It gives us an opportunity to do things in a way that looks after country, in a way we have always talked about” he said.
  The Olkola people are the Traditional Owners of approximately one million hectares of land in southern central Cape York Peninsula. Presently their land holdings include the Glen Garland Pastoral Lease and the underlying tenure of Alwal National Park through a Cape York Peninsula Aboriginal Land (CYPAL) agreement.
  Soon, five other former pastoral leases will be re-acquired by Olkola and the combined land holdings will total more than 800,000 hectares. This will make Olkola one of the largest non-government landholders in the region.
  Both the Commonwealth and Queensland Governments have directly assisted Olkola through the provision of funding for the acquisition of land and with the completion of the Queensland Government’s tenure resolution program, the Olkola people look forward to returning to country permanently.
  The savanna burning project presents a major step forward in creating sustainable livelihoods for remote communities. Amanda Hogbin, CEO of Olkola Aboriginal Corporation, said viable economic opportunities on remote Aboriginal lands in Cape York are limited.
  “Entering the carbon market will provide an income to undertake land management and facilitate other economic opportunities to support returning to country” she said.
  Pormpuraaw Aboriginal Shire Council CEO, Edward Natera said the Pormpuraaw Land and Sea Management Rangers conduct an annual burning program across the Shire which protects the intact, unique biodiversity and cultural landscapes of homelands, and protects outstations from wildfire. “Our Council and our community see savanna burning for carbon income generation as a key part of building a stronger future for our peoples, and to build jobs to support our long term caring for our traditional lands” said Mr Natera.
  Natural Carbon is the carbon farming service provider, working with Olkola Aboriginal Corporation and Pormpuraaw Aboriginal Shire Council for this initiative. Phillip Toyne, a director of Natural Carbon, is very excited about the project.
  “Savanna burning for carbon credits works by conducting early dry season burns in planned mosaics across the country. This results in the prevention of large late season wildfires, responsible for substantial carbon emissions. The difference between emissions from these late season fires to early season burns is what can be traded in the carbon marketplace, under Federal Government Legislation” said Mr Toyne.
  “We are excited to be working closely with each community, with them providing on ground ranger burning programs, and Natural Carbon helping with the regulatory compliance, and with the sale of carbon credits” he said. Olkola Aboriginal Corporation’s Michael Ross said preventing wildfire was just the start.
  “We can then look after cultural sites, weed and feral animal control and other environmental values. If we can look after country and work with our neighbours to manage fire we are moving in the right direction” said Mr Ross.
