When the evidence is objectively scrutinized,<br> there is zero possibility that Russia is the lone party capable of this attack. Furthermore,<br> not only is Russia NOT the only party capable,<br> but they are the LEAST likely to have actually executed the attack. Israel's Mossad,<br> and the U.K.'s Porton Down,<br> become suspect,<br> with the U.S. and Russia tied for a VERY distant third,<br> and the four comprising the only likely actors. Lets take a look at some outtakes from the article.\n\nRussia is the only state to have been certified by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) as having destroyed its chemical weapons program,<br> including its nerve agent capabilities. The OPCW found no evidence to indicate that Russia retains an active Novichok capability. The same is not the case for the US,<br> Britain and Israel.(1)\n\nThe BBC reported in August of 1999,<br> US defense experts arrived in Uzbekistan to \u201cdismantle and decontaminate one of the former Soviet Union\u2019s largest chemical weapons testing facilities.\u201d The facility was known as \u201ca major research site for a new generation of secret,<br> highly lethal chemical weapons,<br> known as Novichok\u201d. This allowed the US a rich opportunity to study this nerve agent and reproduce it for testing and defense purposes. (1)\n\nBut it is not just the US. According to Craig Murray\u200a\u2014\u200aformer US Ambassador to Uzbekistan and prior to that a longtime career diplomat in the UK Foreign Office who worked across Africa,<br> Eastern Europe,<br> and Central Asia\u200a\u2014\u200athe British government itself has advanced capabilities in Novichok:(1)\n\n \u201cThe \u2018novochok\u2019 group of nerve agents\u200a\u2014\u200aa very loose term simply for a collection of new nerve agents the Soviet Union were developing fifty years ago\u200a\u2014\u200awill almost certainly have been analysed (sic) and reproduced by Porton Down. That is entirely what Porton Down is there for. It used to make chemical and biological weapons as weapons,<br> and today it still does make them in small quantities in order to research defences (sic) and antidotes. After the fall of the Soviet Union Russian chemists made a lot of information available on these nerve agents. And one country which has always manufactured very similar persistent nerve agents is Israel.\u201d(1)\n\nAccording to... Craig Murray,<br> for instance,<br> it is more reasonable to cast the net of suspicion onto Israel for many of the same reasons cited by the British government:(1)\n\n \u201cIsrael has the nerve agents. Israel has Mossad which is extremely skilled at foreign assassinations. Theresa May claimed Russian propensity to assassinate abroad as a specific reason to believe Russia did it. Well Mossad has an even greater propensity to assassinate abroad. And while I am struggling to see a Russian motive for damaging its own international reputation so grieviously (sic),<br> Israel has a clear motivation for damaging the Russian reputation so grieviously (sic). Russian action in Syria has undermined the Israeli position in Syria and Lebanon in a fundamental way,<br> and Israel has every motive for damaging Russia\u2019s international position by an attack aiming to leave the blame on Russia.\u201d(1)\n\nNATO\u2019s main interest has always been to rollback Russia\u2019s regional influence so that the West can dominate Central Asian natural resources and oil pipeline routes.(2)\n\nNow,<br> from True Publica,<br> there is the following:\n\n Valery Morozov,<br> another former Russian intelligence officer who now lives in exile in Britain,<br> said Skripal was still working with Russian military intelligence. (3)\n\n \u201cYou have a Russian military intelligence officer working in the Russian diplomatic service,<br> living after retirement in the U.K. working in cybersecurity and every month going to the [Russian embassy to meet military intelligence officers,<br>\u201d Morozov told Channel 4 News. (3)\n\nDeepening the mystery of Skripal\u2019s loyalties,<br> the Telegraph newspaper claims it has obtained information that the poisoned spy was a close confidant of Christopher Steel,<br> the British ex-spy who compiled the so-called \u201cTrump dossier.\u201d(3)\n\nSkripal was recently implicated in the alleged hacking of the U.S. elections in 2016. If Skripal was tapping his old sources to get fresh intelligence,<br> he could have turned himself into an target. (3) But targeted by whom? If I were a betting man,<br> this was more of an Arkancide via Mossad,<br> than a Putincide.\n\nRussia has vehemently denied involvement in the nerve agent attack and accused British politicians of engaging in \u201cpure propaganda\u201d.(3)\n\nDespite all the evidence listed above,<br> and the absurdity of assurance regarding Russian involvement,<br> the U.K. government is beating their chest,<br> and invoking NATO alliances and \"great\" and \"powerful\" military capabilities. \nDoes this smell like a False Flag operation to anyone else? It should. It is right out of the Globalist (New World Order,<br> Shadow Government) playbook: \n\n1. Contrive and execute an attack on a friendly target or population.\n2. Shape the narrative and evidence to support \"enemy\" involvement.\n3. Blame enemy (in this case Russia).\n4. Attack enemy with righteous indignation,<br> and if most people buy the story,<br> overwhelming military power.\n5. Take what you want from the enemy,<br> while being (somewhat) vindicated for your actions in the eyes of the world.\n\n British security officials,<br> however,<br> have said the specific chemical used would have been difficult to obtain and could only have come from a state run or state-licensed laboratory. (3)\n\n Nerve agents including Sarin and VX are manufactured by the British Government in Porton Down,<br> just 8 miles from where Sergei Skripal was attacked and is the largest stock of deadly nerve agents and gases anywhere in Europe. (3)\n\nCraig Murray,<br> ex British ambassador even hints at something more sinister: \u201cnor in this murky world should we overlook the fact that he must have known interesting things about his MI6 handlers. \u201cLitvinenko II\u201d is rather too pat and obvious,<br> and could be a false flag set-up.\u201d (3)\n\n One other fact that the mainstream press have not mentioned is that even after prosecutors had convicted Skripal of high treason in their own country,<br> the Russian state gave him a full state pardon,<br> placed him on a spy swap list and was willingly freed. Hardly the actions of a state that already had him in prison for the highest of crimes and wanting him silenced. And as Time reports,<br> \u201cif the obvious suspects in the case are the Russian intelligence services,<br> it would suggest a major break from the rules they are taught to follow.\u201c (3)\n\nAnother important source is Craig Murray himself. He wrote an article entitled \"Russian to Judgement\",<br> which should be required reading on this subject. (4) Needless to say,<br> the evidence does not fit the narrative of Russian foul play,<br> and should not be considered as justification for reprisals by the U.K. or NATO in any form. \n\nAs always,<br> we should seek the facts,<br> think critically,<br> never believe what they feed us in the MSM,<br> and draw our own conclusions. To do any less is a discredit to ourselves and humanity. \n\nSources:\n\n1 - Nafeez Ahmed,<br> \"The UK Government is Manufacturing its Nerve Agent Case for \u2018Action\u2019 on Russia\" http:\/\/www.informationclearinghouse.info\/48952.htm\n\n2 - Nafeez Ahmed,<br> \"Army document: US strategy to \u2018dethrone\u2019 Putin for oil pipelines might provoke WW3\"\nhttps:\/\/medium.com\/insurge-intelligence\/army-study-us-strategy-to-dethrone-putin-for-oil-pipelines-might-provoke-ww3-9b1d9dbe6be9\n\n3 - True Publica,<br> \"Double Agent Sergei Skripal \u2013 There\u2019s More to This Story Than Meets the Eye\"\nhttp:\/\/www.informationclearinghouse.info\/48973.htm\n\n4 - Craig Murray,<br> \"Russian to Judgment\"\nhttp:\/\/www.informationclearinghouse.info\/48941.htm",<br>"json_metadata":" \"tags\":[\"russia\",<br>\"novichok\",<br>\"uk\",<br>\"mossad\",<br>\"israel\" ,<br>\"links\":[\"http:\/\/www.informationclearinghouse.info\/48952.htm\",<br>\"https:\/\/medium.com\/insurge-intelligence\/army-study-us-strategy-to-dethrone-putin-for-oil-pipelines-might-provoke-ww3-9b1d9dbe6be9\",<br>\"http:\/\/www.informationclearinghouse.info\/48973.htm\",<br>\"http:\/\/www.informationclearinghouse.info\/48941.htm\" ,<br>\"app\":\"steemit\/0.1\",<br>\"format\":\"markdown\" " |
