I certainly feel that the release of the 9/11 photos was done to embarrass someone - some faction, Anthony. So far as I can see they would only embarrass the neocon contingent that I, and others, believe were responsible for 9/11? Perhaps that was just another shot in an ongoing behind-the-scene's war that has been raging.
However, it does seem to me that a great deal of pressure has been brought to bear on Trump and that he has now been "aligned" to some degree. But to what extent remains to be seen. The new and emerging picture on Syria is now very suggestive that the US war faction may be back in the ascendency again.
The question we should ask ourselves is what has happened to force Trump to such a volte face on his policy in Syria and with Russia in just a few days? Something obviously has occurred that swung the balance, and I'm inclined to speculate that those investigating Trump's Mafia business connections may now have definitive proof of his culpability and have used that to, as I said above, align him. But this is just a guess at this point in time.
However, it's far too early to conclude anything with certainty just yet. This may be a one-off strike to quell domestic pressure - or it may signal a complete reversal in Trump's foreign affairs policy. I rather fear the latter and that the neocons penchant for perpetual war is once again official US policy.
I don't think any of us really believe that Assad or his military was responsible for the Sarin attack - they won the war, why would they? - and we know that Turkey was responsible for the 2014 false flag Sarin attack in Ghouta, thanks to Seymour Hersh's reporting (HERE and HERE). Given this, it seems pretty obvious to me that this may be yet another false flag in the same vein, despite what Russia says about it (i.e., it was accidental and resulted from bombing a location where Sarin was stored).
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
