Did Bashar Al Assad gas his own people, or is that total bullshit? (hexbear.net)

I was subjected to a liberal rant about Assad gassing Syrian people, and it sounded like some BS (Just smells like propaganda), but the Internet is a fuck these days and I'm unable to find any informtion I trust, or develop the tools to debunk wikihasbara.

Did it happen?

Right, it took a decade to show that this attack wasn't Assad. It's going to take a lot longer for anything that's less obvious. I'm mostly showing that there is very little interest in investigation if it can't be pinned on Assad.

Sarin gas isn't hard to make by the way. A bunch of Japanese cultists were able to do it. They also made VX, phosegene, and hydrogen cyanide. Apparently money and dedication will take you a long way.
