Pulverized buildings were shown which are reportedly the remains of a research facility in Damascus after a cruise missile blitz. The article states that the RAF joined US and French forces in unleashing a "blitz on evil Bashar al-Assad's chemical weapon capabilities..."

Okay, so here we have "NTI (Nuclear Threat Initiative) Building a Safer World" with NTI's Syria page showing that its primary biological weapons agent facility is reportedly located at the Damascus-based Scientific Research Council. Here anthrax, cholera, and botulism are developed by the Biological Research Facility and produced. It is believed that all research, development, and production activities and facilities associated with the Biological Weapons program are under the direct control of the Centre D'Etude et Recherche Scientifique (CERS). On April 14, 2018, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that a CERS facility in Damascus had been potentially struck during US missile strikes on chemical weapons sites. Pentagon officials later reported that the facility had been destroyed. What in the hell is NTI all about???

Whatever NTI is, it is also located in Washington D.C. Its website says the following:
"Every day, we work to prevent catastrophic attacks with weapons of mass destruction and disruption - nuclear, biological, radiological, chemical and cyber. Working with leaders, partners, and citizens around the world to develop policies to reduce reliance on nuclear wapons, prevent their use, and end them as a threat."
Here's the shocker - The Board of Directors include Ernest J. Moniz, Sam Nunn, Ted Turner, Des Browne, Joan Rohlfing, Ambassador Hamad Alkaabi, Alexy Arbatov, Charles A. Bowsher, Edmund G. Brown, Jr., Liru Cui, Rolf Ekeus, Gideon Frank, Margaret A. Hamburg, M.D., and several more.
Its advisors include Warren E. Buffett, David A. Hamburg, and Siegfried S. Hecker.

I can't figure out exactly what NTI is or does, but something is very, very wrong.

Umm. You may be on to something here. Your upvoats seem to be going backwards...

I called this out about a month ago and it has been totally ignored by the board owners. There is a bug that will freeze up votes anytime the post is edited. Seems extremely Shady to me and absolutely nothing has been done about it. @Puttitout

The real votes are visible from v/news/hot and this is on v/all as well
Oh_Well_ian ago
I realize that. But when the submissions are archived what voat count is used? This is a serious glitch that's over 6 weeks old and NOTHING has been done about it.

Can't answer it for sure but I assume it would show the true count. It's not ideal, no. I'm not sure the admin is in a really good spot atm, to be honest.
