ANALYSIS: Signs of Compromise in Yulia Skripal's Statement

by Tony Kevin

Tony Kevin’s summary responses to the MoA view that Yulia’s statement is suspect, because it was allegedly written under duress of some kind, and from a prepared English script translated into Russian.

Yulia Skripal allegedly making voluntary statement May 23 2018


There are at least two big questions here that need to be separately addressed. MoA and many of their correspondents segue from one to the other and back again , which is not conducive to a clear understanding and quickly leads one down unproductive, hypothetical blind alleys: leaving one in the end in a not useful position of general skepticism of everyone and everything involved in the Skripal affair.
One of the classic forms of deception in naval warfare is to hide what you are trying to hide by laying dummy targets behind a lot of smoke. This letter is an effort to clear away smoke and help to see the real targets more clearly.
The two big questions are:

  • 1. What were the circumstances of Yulia’s videoed statement ? Was it made under duress, Stockholm Syndrome, or coached ? Was it even Julia at all, or a lookalike stand-in? In any case, does it matter what she said, now that it has been said and recorded ?
  • 2. What were the Skripals poisoned with? Were they poisoned at all? Were they innocent victims , I.e. were they both, or was Sergei alone, complicit? Does the issue of alleged complicity matter now? Or is it just smoke?

Operating on Occam’s Razor, I try to pare my following analysis back to essential agreed or highly probable facts.
1. As to the poisoning substance used, first and foremost, I would rank Lavrov’s 14 April statement, based as he said on the best Russian scientific/medical analysis available to him of public video footage of the victims and of the leaked reports of the chemical analysis at Spiez of the Skripal samples, as very strong evidence – as almost certain evidence. The Russians would have had some kind of informant working in the OPCW system, as Lavrov admitted . Lavrov took a political decision to publicly reveal the Skripal analysis, and thereby risk exposing his source, because Russia considered it so important in their national interest to discredit the otherwise powerful British Novichuk lie.
He laid his own credibility on the line as Russian FM – and as a man who has no public record of ever lying – to point clearly to the most probable fact that the Skripals were poisoned with BZ and could never have been exposed to the always fatal A234 Novichuk; but also to as good as accuse that the samples were highly likely to have been twice tampered with while in British custody, first adding some A234 a short time after 4 March, and again adding a fresh dose shortly before the samples were given to OPCW custody. Please read his 14 April words carefully – I put them up again yesterday for easy reference on my Facebook Page. They are the strongest evidence we have of how the Skripals were poisoned and how the poisoners attempted to lay a false Novichuk trail in the samples and around Salisbury afterwards.
On this subject, all the rest is smoke or idle speculation.
Lavrov nailed it – the diplomatic task now for the world community through OPCW is to make public the proof of how the Skripals were poisoned from Spiez and the other three labs, and for UKG to eventually apologise to Russia for their gross calumny against her.
2. On Yulia’s Reuters interview. First, I am satisfied it was her. No substitute could have fooled the family and friends back in Russia, hearing and watching her speak thus at length . It is Yulia. We would have heard complaints by now from the Russian government if it were not.
Now as to the content of her oral statement and two letters
Here is the full video of her statement as delivered in Russian.
And here are both her handwritten and signed letters:


I read the linguistic commentary in the letters to Moon of Alabama with attention, knowing something as I do about Russian language and translation. I am satisfied that the well-rehearsed and familiar statement that Yulia read out with practiced ease, using visual aids or memory, was the product of a negotiation between her and her carers/ captors, let’s call them carers for short.
I believe the first draft in the negotiation was British, which explains the laboured pompous Home Counties/ Estuary court-style English ( ‘I do not want to avail myself of etc’ ) . By the time she got to read out her agreed Russian translation, most of that tortured language was gone, translated into normal spoken colloquial Russian. And then, translations back into normal English appeared as text-overs on the Reuters video, with the laboured phrases gone.
My conclusion is that Yulia’s statement was a negotiated document based on an original British carers’ first draft, substantially amended in negotiation with her.
As someone who has spent some of my diplomatic career negotiating texts, I know that it is a give-and-take process: you give a bit here, I give a bit there, and we each hold onto what we think are our respective sticking points . The result always contains some tensions and contradictions, accepted by both sides in the interest of reaching agreement on the package.
Reading the final statement in English, I feel confident that Yulia’s sticking points were:

  1. Not to say or imply that any Russian agency poisoned her – the resulting silence on this was a big win for her. Undoubtedly the carers had wanted an anti-Russian accusation. It is not there. Because she refused to point the finger of blame at her country.
  2. To express the hope of returning to Russia. She would have wanted to say ‘as soon as possible’. Her carers would have wanted to leave this thought out altogether, or if they had to include words on this, to stretch it out into the far future. The result is a compromise – actually, it is more of a win for Yulia, because just the presence of these words, by recording her wish to go home , would make it harder if her carers were ever tempted to have her killed and claim she had gone into hiding under a new identity. This would not wash now.
  3. As far as possible, to protect her father and avoid a forced separation from him.

I believe her carers’ sticking points would have been:

  1. That she should thank them and express fulsome gratitude to them. Important as preemptive insurance against any future possible claims by Yulia, after her hoped-for return to Russia, that her carers had held her in forced captivity beyond a time when her medical recovery would have allowed her to travel safely to Russia. This point goes to repeated Russian Govt complaints to Britain from the beginning of the affair, about British violation of signed consular treaties binding both countries. Luke Harding of the Guardian revealingly reports this British government concern.
  2. That she should emphasise how sick she had been, in how much pain and discomfort etc. This strikes me as British-origin language, Russians are stoical people and would not choose to dwell on their suffering using language like ‘the clinical treatment was invasive, painful and depressing’. The carers wanted to emphasise her suffering. Had she condemned Russia, her condemnation would have been all the stronger.
  3. That she should say she wants to remain in protective isolation and in particular that she does not wish to have contact with Russian Embassy. This was clearly a carer interest, they wish to maintain full control and isolation of Yulia.

So the result is a compromise, I would say highly probably freely entered into by Yulia, knowing how little power she had to substantially change the text her carers wanted . No wonder there was a spring in her step. She knew that in at least two important respects, she had outwitted her carers. Russians are smart and brave people. Yulia was smart and brave.
Does any of this matter? Only in the sense of clearing away the smoke and the dummy targets, and focussing on what matters most in this awful and sad affair:
(a) getting the Skripals home safely to their country, by forcing the UK government to adhere to its international obligations under consular law
And as a second order objective, possibly not achievable for many years to come,
(b) getting a full British govt apology to Russia and to the Skripals for the attack on them, and subsequent crimes of deceit and mental cruelty and forced detention and calumny.
In conclusion, to me this is not an Agatha Christie parlour game. I have been literally sickened by the corruption of diplomatic relations and simple decency instigated by British government agencies against Russia. Russophobia today in the West is worse than when I wrote about it in my Feb 2017 book ‘Return to Moscow’. The Skripal Affair has in my view been a major British government-instigated provocation against Russia, with significant negative flow-on effects for East-West relations generally, and for peace in hotspots like Syria and Ukraine . I want to see the unsavoury Skripal Affair decently ended and buried in the history books.

I caught the end of Question Time last night, and David Dimbleby told us that we could all watch a special [propaganda] Panorama Report he is fronting next Wednesday on ‘Putin’s Russia’. What a coincidence – immediately before the start of the World Cup. Any bets on whether we are going to hear a statement issued by Sergei Skripal early next week as well? Oh, and maybe also a disingenuous OPCW report on Douma just to add to the mix.

Second police statement on behalf of Yulia Skripal 11th April 2018 ” I have specially trained officers available to me, who are helping to take care of me and to explain the investigative processes that are being undertaken”
Yulia might think these officers are there inter alia to look after her interests and might ask these questions of them..
Q.Can I contact my relatives? Answer, no, sorry.
Q Can my relatives contact or visit me? Answer, no sorry.
Q In view of my life changing future prospects, legally, financially [including those at home in Russia] and my ongoing interactions with my secret service “friends” who only have my interests at heart, could I have an independent lawyer to advise and represent me? Answer, you must be joking, no sorry.
Q Very well, at least I know you are looking after my two guinea pigs and cat who I love so much. Officers make their excuses and leave rapidly, leaving her alone and incarcerated in her secret facility.

They doctors and paramedics thought it was an opioid.
But then they realised it was a nerve agent.
In the Litvinenko case, thallium was first suspected… it wasn’t and Po210 was discovered.

▪️The doctors told the BBC that the Skripals were heavily sedated, to receive artificial ventilation and to protect them from brain damage.
The medical team sought to boost the pair’s production of acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme that is vital for the brain to communicate with muscles and that can be blocked by nerve agents.
▪️Atropine is not a fun drug, but it can save you from an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor.

The doctors told also to BBC that the Skripals came in on Sunday and were treated against opiate empoisonment. This happened during the two days following and only then the hospital had support from Porton Down.
My opinion: If they were empoisoned with Novichok, they had died in this time.

While people are congratulating themselves on seeing Yulia is alive and well, they may be taking their eye off the ball which is – what has happened to Sergei Skripal?
Because no one has seen him since 4th March 2018
And, unlike Yulia, there is actual evidence of Sergei Skripal’s existence prior to 4.3.18 (old entries on wiki going back to 2006 and news articles) and, up until very recently, he also had a Linked In account (now deleted)
I am not saying Yulia doesn’t exist, just that I’ve not found much evidence of it, or at least not in the UK. She has a Facebook account but these can easily be falsified by backdating posts.
Whilst Yulia’s existence is backed up by Viktoria Skripal, I’ve not been able to establish much in the way of evidence of her existence either. She has a very odd Facebook account (which again could be backdated) and that’s about it, though I don’t have any Russian so its possible there is evidence, just that I can’t find it.
I have not been able to find a news item about Viktoria Skripal’s reaction to the Reuters interview with Yulia. If anyone knows of this please let me have the url.
It might be significant that Russia has never issued a writ of habeas corpus with regard to Yulia Skripal?
As to whether they would be able to do so in the case of Sergei Skripal I don’t know. Its possible they could as I think he was supposed to have kept Russian citizenship
I think there may be legal action that Sergei and Yulia’s family could take to get access to them. In the case of Sergei Skripal, no one has seen him since 4th March 2018. Its possible the family might be able to retain a solicitor to look into whether Sergei Skripal is alive or dead and who is managing his financial affairs if he is not. So I’m wondering why they haven’t done this?

Good post P R Films.
My research, although not everyone’s cup of polonium laced tea ( I still laugh at the Met’s reported discovery of “a hot teapot” in the Litvinenko case ), leads me to suspect that the narrative for Sergei’s reported son, Alexander and his reported Sapsan train meanderings might also be false.
I’ve had no luck locating Yulia’s Facebook page or her reported presence on the Russian equivalent vk.com
Can anyone help with links for these please ?
I would very much appreciate them.
Thanks

“I have not seen the video but Viktoria has. According to her, it can be seen clearly that she [Yulia] was speaking under pressure and that her text was read out,” Elifantyev said.

Most of them are Russian officers who sold their soul for thirty pieces of silver. They will surely choke on it and regret being a traitor a thousand times.

I agree entirely, Admin. The given link is in Russian so I can’t understand it but what I do know is that I saw or read a translated version of the discussion of the whole topic (not just selected ‘titbits’ which the MSM favour utilising to make their point). Putin actually goes on to say that he feels sorry for such traitors because when they return to Russia most of them are shunned by friends and relatives, cannot get jobs and often turn to drink and drugs, finally ending up destitute on the streets where they die. Unfortunately for the MSM, the reality of what he says in toto isn’t worthy of headline news.

The former chemical weapons expert rightly talks about the lies by British officials.
The whole farce surely suggests that the the Salisbury incident caught our government (and therefore our security services) completely by surprise and they had to resort to playing it by ear. This explains the immediate accusation against Russia (and the identification of “their” deadly Novichok, later to prove not so deadly), the ever-changing explanations as to the means by which the poison was administered, the likely fate of the Skripals and the policeman, etc. If this was in any way a false-flag designed by HMG/MI5 they would seem to have been remarkably ill-prepared, with no consistent narrative nor anticipation of the kinds of questions the incident might raise.
For this reason my money is on a foreign intelligence service. Cui Bono then suggests that the hawks in the Syrian war, Israel and/or the USA, as the perpetrators, without so much as a polite by you leave to HMG. All timed nicely to further demonize Russia just before the airstrikes.
If true this will obviously never be allowed to come above board. Heaven forfend that anyone should entertain the idea that agents of our (nominal) allies can so easily stage such an event in the U.K. without our knowledge or approval.

Ross, Whilst I agree that the possibility that a third party was the main protagonist is high on the list of explanations, what I find hard to credit is the immediate impulse of the UK Govt to point the finger of blame at Russia and make sure that every opportunity was exploited to sustain that narrative, even to the point of blatantly lying, and blocking any input from Russia in the investigation. Now, either the UK Govt was knowingly party to the charade from the outset, or they are incredibly ignorant, naïve and gullible. If it wasn’t the former, how do they explain the rush to blame Russia completely in the absence of any proof whatsoever and without even contemplating any other possibilities? A primary issue first and foremost in the minds of anyone with half a brain would have been Sergei Skripal’s (and even Yulia’s) recent past – what they had been involved with professionally, personal contacts, financial status, known enemies. That can’t be investigated and rules out in the space of two or three days. This suggests to me that the UK Govt knew exactly what was going on and what they were doing.

Fair points, thank you. The only thing I would say regarding the likelihood of the UK Govt being party to the charade from the outset is how come then they were so farcically at sea in dealing with it?
Now, as to why there was the immediate impulse to blame Russia and determined efforts to keep them out of any investigation. Apart from the fact that Russia has been earmarked to be the international bête noire for some time I suggest that MI5 may have advised the government straight away that they suspected Mossad/the CIA to be involved. Obviously this could have become a huge embarrassment to the U.K. and the suspicion couldn’t be allowed to surface in any way: it then became crucially important that Russia was immediately and firmly identified as the one and only possible perpetrator. Anything else would be bound to increase speculation as to precisely who was responsible.
That’s my current take, but who knows? The world of secret services is a wilderness of mirrors. Probably in order to fully understand what spooks are up to you have to be as screwed up as they are 🙂

I tend to concur with you Ross, although a wide variety of reasonable duplicity from GCHQ is still wholly feasible: by which I mean that the Government is not even aware of all things that are happening within their own secret services, & not only British Secret Services’ “Wilderness of Mirrors,” (nice metaphor, by the way, lol) & we must consider daily, the pernicious possibilities within the appalling compartmentalisation of today’s existence, (the Zionist ‘ DISCONNECT ‘) : therefore, given the levels of censorship & manipulations in ALL communications systems today, (not just the mainstream media), i think it is fair to say also, that with the F.o.E freedom of expression that we are gifted with here@OFFG , what we are all doing together is treading a kind of >>
Virgin Wilderness 😉 ?
F.o.E. a territory with..
No secrets ?
What ?
No mirrors ! ?
And this would explain the various pernicious CyberFlackMassiveAttackS experienced last Saturday PM , coz’ TPTB did not just Target OFFG ..
Just a thought , that relates to future solutions in terms of all Communications, that I began to consider 2 decades ago and therefore registered that V.W. name in Bg. & the Uk,

Yes a popular theory is that it was Pablo Miller who administered the poison. The motive being that Sergei Skripal had worked on the Trump Dossier, knew about lies in it, and was asking for money to keep quiet. There is a CIA agent involved in the case, Dan Kaszeta, who is working very hard to maintain the story that Novochok was applied to Sergei Skripal’s front door handle, that could take four hours before effectiong them and would not necessarily prove fatal. This story places the poisoning well away from the Salisbury bar/restaurant where Sergei and Yulia were photographed by “the man in the mirror”. MSM later obscuring the image of the man in the mirror after the government issued two DSMA notices covering Pablo Miller and Orbis Business Intelligence, which amusingly enough, indicates the man in the mirror had to be something to do with them. CNN has an article stating that Pablo Miller’s (now removed) Linked In Profile stated that he worked under contract for the Foreign Office (and so Boris Johnson). If Pablo Miller was involved in Sergei Skripal’s poisoning it would be very embarrassing for the Government because Pablo Miller also recruited Alexander Litvinenko and Boris Berezovsky and it might cast a question mark over who was responsible for what happened to them.

That’s the first comment, I’ve ever read here from you ‘jazztingy’, so I have to say welcome to the club of musical wit to my ears ..
Then, i did the math on that number you attached , which in simple additional terms equals 54 >> 5 + 4 = 9
Which subsequently gave me a double boost of positive energy , frequency & vibrations , as to your potential , along the guide lines of Nikola Tesla , who with my B”AMPS happens to be one of my heroes ..
like Verdi ‘s “A” class concert hall standard of tuned emissions , for all things positive in terms of Transmission & Reception of pure Frequency Waves at natures most natural level, measured in Hertz, the key to which is ..
@432 Hertz 4 + 3 + 2 = 9
And therefore, you might think I’m bonkers asking, (logic), but is there any specific reason you picked those numbers that all add up to a factor of 9 or was it just pure coincidence ?? Coz’ I have this theory , electronically speaking, that the biggest ground based earthing strike ever, in modern Society , still resonates negatively soundly today, which was when the USA introduced the transport of electricity for nationwide delivery and with massive subsequent global implications & not least infiltrated into others’ electro-culture, on behalf of ZIONazis, who were sponsoring WAR@WILL , i.e. with derivative investments on both sides , whilst stealing the intellectual property of both sides .. and the whole damn shebang began back in
1940, with the introduction of the Electricity Grid @440 Hertz ..
A most deliberate Mistake raised one octave above VERDI’s ‘A’ coz’ the differential gave ‘Spielraum’ to manoeuvre and install Mind Control Methodology , that TESLA had researched , within the bandwidth of amplified Distortion for Modulation of MicroRadioWaves which even permits subliminal messaging, hypnosis and complete BRAINWASH ..
just a thought, from a mad-man .. or am I ? ! ? !
I best study the rest of your comments, first 🙂 😉

▪️The doctors told the BBC that the Skripals were heavily sedated, to receive artificial ventilation and to protect them from brain damage.
The medical team sought to boost the pair’s production of acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme that is vital for the brain to communicate with muscles and that can be blocked by nerve agents.
▪️Atropine is not a fun drug, but it can save you from an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor.

Surely the new and brilliant treatments utilised to save the Skripals have been made available to all other medical systems, world-wide, in order to save others poisoned by roving Russian hit-squads, or poisoned by other similar chemicals, say pesticides. I await the description of this miraculous break-through in some medical journal, perhaps ‘Lancet’.

The Russians would be fools to do this ahead of the World Cup. The far more obvious candidates are the CIA (not Trump) or their Israeli pals. Possibly even the UK’s MI5 itself egged on by the CIA. For what reason? To continue the US military/industrial complex aim to create tension between Europe and Russia and order more arms for defence; to depose Putin; or to go to war with Russia in which Europe and especially the UK would be in the front line. That Mrs May should have gone along with it shows a total disregard for the safety of UK citizens and the wrecking of any trade between the UK and Russia. It was noticeable that Germany who are the largest traders with Russia dismissed only four Russian diplomats as a token gesture while many countries refused to believe Mrs May’s hysteria.

You make some good points.
Also, for those who may default or, heven forbid, offer reasoned argument that HM Gov perpetrated the Skripal farce, you need to address why the Tories would bite the hand that feeds them ?
In case anyone is unaware, there is a full scale war going on against the Tories, not just for the usual reasons, but because of Brexit.
“Dirty” Russian money pouring into the Tory coffers has been but one feature of this warfare.
So quite why Theresa May & co would want to quench that funding source remains a mystery.
My analysis shows that this is in fact a Trump / Mercer affair, a quid-pro-quo for the Steel Trump dossier.
The subsequent lies and cover up are the behaviour of a government under siege and being placed between a geopolitical rock and a hard place.
That “government” is not as homogeneous as one might imagine.
There are many factions within and without, all fighting desperately to bring this government down to stop Brexit.
That those goals coincide with the goals of the usual suspects in other theatres just proves once again that these events are always at the very least, two birds with one stone.

Coz’ the Zionist powers that be (TPTB) , which rule the dissemination of news, the agenda & timing of same , all in relation to financial market investments also , and Ramping APARTHEID , really don’t want to have to go to court and start answering highly volatile questions & issues , like WMD’s & all that jazz, that can be evidenced with ABSOLUTE SCIENTIFIC CLARITY & Certitude: indeed since 9/11 onwards, including WTC 7 & the ENRON SEC investigation , which included not just pension fund manipulation, but speculative investments with Certitude, based on Weaponised Weather with HAARP, for profit on commodity deals & turning back dust bowl states created in the US, to buy up land on the cheap for GMO production with fellow investors (in the grand secret immoral scheming abuse of Science), like Monsanto & GEC ..
Lands effectively turned from private productivity to nothing (but Dust Bowl States of rundown dried out farms & farmers) into productive GMO commodity producers , again , “turning Water into Wine” when the Corporate Command Strategy so desires .. with HAARP & weaponised weather ..

The Independent State of Syria and the “alleged August 2013 CW event” in Ghouta, Damascus on 20 / 21 August 2013
Post WW1, Sykes-Picot, implemented via the San Remo Conference, at the Syrian National Congress, the Independent State of Syria was established with King Faisal as Head of State on 8 March 1920.
Sykes-Picot : “A Syrian National Congress meeting in Damascus declared an independent state of Syria on the 8th of March 1920. The new state intended to include portions of Syria, Palestine, and northern Mesopotamia. Faisal was declared the head of State.”

The uk NHS has absolutely no obligation to prove how the Skripals’ lives were saved.
You’re wasting your time.
It has long been known that opioid overdose was first suspected.
That is why atropine was immedialtly administered by the paramedics. Atropine is also an antidote for nerve agent poisoning.
Are you confused, or trying to confuse?
You’re all certainly very ungrateful for saving their lives.
Understandable maybe as Sergei is a traitor, yes?

“Atropine is also an antidote for nerve agent poisoning”. Yes, but only a temporary antidote to keep the airways open so the patient can breath until a bespoke antidote can be administered without delay. Atropine doesn’t cure or prevent damage to the internal organs. That can only be prevented by an antidote unique to the nerve agent in question. If atropine was the answer why on earth would worldwide Govts bother going to the expense of researching and developing antidotes for nerve agents? That is why the sceptics among us do not believe a nerve agent was administered at all. Are we really supposed to believe that three people were affected by one of the deadliest nerve agents known to man, were not treated for nerve agent poisoning until two days later, yet have still emerged with very little – if any – evidence of health issues. You mentioned elsewhere your defence of the supposed four hour delay in the nerve agent taking effect. And both of the Skripals, with different metabolisms, struck down at exactly the same time after a four hour delay? Ah, yes, you explained that Yulia must have had a lesser dose as she wasn’t the main target and it was therefore – or so we are supposed to surmise – just a coincidence that they succumbed simultaneously. Well where does DS Bailey fit in that scenario? Nothing like a four hour delay for him…unless of course he was with the Skripals at the time they were affected. Now there’s a thought to conjure with.

No one gives a damn what you or anyone on the internet surmise.
You are not judge and almost certainly will not ever be jury.
Who said they succumbed at exactly the same time?
Bailey was contaminated at a different time and was taken ill at a different time.
And that was from secondary or tietary contamination.
And all of this is irrelevant.
Novichok was in their blood stream. The intital symptoms were superseded and the treatment adjusted.
They were treated very quickly with atropine which was very good luck.

The Skripal poisoning is a ‘dead parrot’ story line and I find it hugely amusing when people go to foolish lengths to support the official line and totally undermine their credibility with ludicrous references.
Now, where is the identikit image of the perpetrator widely distributed so the public can inform on them and denounce this evil doer? Indeed where is the video evidence of this latter day anarchist surreptitiously sneaking about, paintbrush in hand, dabbing stuff on doorhandles, car doors, bus seats, parking meters or whatever. The village must be the most intensely CCTV scanned village in the UK!! Come to think of it I haven’t even seen an image of DC Bailey either.
So in the absence of an image of this evil perpetrator, I suggest a global invitation from the worlds cartoonists to draft something suitable. Then a panel of suitable comedians to nominate worthies PLUS a benefactor or two that will pay for a letterbox distribution to every one in Salisbury (and Theresa May’s and Jeremy Corbyn’s constituency). Have a laugh at the expense of the permanent state in the UK. This just a rare moment that opens the door to a thorough ridicule.

One of the unbelievable aspects to this incident is the complete lack of human instincts allowed by the authorities to be exhibited by Yulia in her prepared statements, for instance more attention is paid to the hospital staff and others thanking them etc, while all very commendable Yulia does not mention her 90 year old Grandmother at all, who had this to say about her father…
“Why won’t they let him call me? Why? For what reason? When he was at home, we talked with each other [by phone] every week, but now we can’t for some reason. Please, grant him permission so that he and I could talk.”
She also asked the British authorities to allow Viktoria Skripal, Sergei’s niece, to visit him.
“I cry every day as I wait for a message from my son,” the elderly lady said, sobbing.
It is inhuman for the police to expect the general public to believe that Sergei Skripal has consented to putting his mother through such psychological distress by refusing to talk to her, it is preposterous on its face to claim he is consenting to such psychological police abuse. Make no mistake almost 3 months in police “care” in a secret facility and incommunicado IS an enforced disappearance, the definition of which is described by the UN International Convention ‘For the Protection of all Persons from Enforced Disappearance’ thus….
“The detention, abduction or any other form of deprivation of liberty committed by agents of the state or by persons acting with the authorization, support or acquiescence of the state, followed by the refusal to acknowledge the deprivation of liberty or by concealment of the fate or whereabouts of the disappeared person, which place such a person outside the protection of law”.
Because the above derives from the general prohibition on enforced disappearances they are part of customary International law and are binding on all states and are absolute and non derogable in their application.
The police need to prove Sergei Skripal is consenting willingly and in an informed manner to this charade, either expressly through a phone call to his mother or an independent lawyer, otherwise, in my opinion he is being detained against his will and the state are in breach of both UK domestic law i.e. the common law offence of ‘false imprisonment’ and customary International law on enforced disappearance.

Regarding the latest headlines of how the medics thought the Skripals were going to die, all we are given is a reiteration of what the official storyline is. We hear how the medics were ‘told’ that the Skripals had been attacked with a nerve agent and it was then that they thought of all the implications. No doubt they were also ‘told’ that specially trained medical staff would take over the treatment and control of the patients thereafter. So no surprises or revelations.
However, what I ask myself is what is the purpose of this latest ‘sensationalist’ publicity, being that everything has been suspiciously underplayed for weeks. Is it being dramatically reawakened for an ulterior motive? Is the hope that it will focus attention again on how evil the Russians are? Is it just a coincidence that the OPCW must surely be close to issuing some sort of ‘report'(?) on Douma (well they must have had enough time by now to concoct a story)? Is this latest BBC report a precursor to another incident in Syria or simply to a public statement from Sergei? Is there something else that the UK Govt is currently in trouble over e.g. Brexit, and we are once again being distracted from that? Are we simply being moved on to the next phase of the official narrative in order to detract from the ongoing sceptical analysis of Yulia’s statements (I make this plural because -as has been pointed out in the comments on this thread – the English and Russian statements respectively have slightly different connotations) and ongoing questions about whether a nerve agent was actually used? It also happens to follow on closely after the recently held ‘Media on Trial’ seminar.
My advice to everyone is be very suspicious. I can guarantee there is definitely something going on behind the scenes and a specific reason for the timing of the BBC’s Mark Urban report.

Dear Brad,
If the UK press WAS independent, then they would be:-
1 Theories questioning who did it apart from the Russians – none
2 Suspects – none
3 Critical evaluation of the evidence (no-one gets a free pass) – none
The msm’s approach omits any kind of investigative journalism.
The only truly independent journalism is done by people on the sidelines and thanks to the internet.
When people like you try to rubbish their efforts, you actually make their case stronger.

The press have had reporting restrictions imposed on them by the UK government, which suggests a lack of independence in the media.
As for the Metropolitan Police, who have taken over the investigation from Wiltshire police, they have recently been caught prosecuting suspects who they knew were innocent in order to impress their political masters with statistics and have been caught providing information on left-wing citizens to an employment blacklist, i.e. political persecution. Hardly the behaviour of an independent police force.

Hello Kaiama and thanks for your comment.
I agree that this information appears to be, as you suggest, far-fetched, bizarre, mad, call it what you will.
As with anything new, like for example, a book one has not yet read, new information will often provoke all kinds of reactions in people and while it is reasonable, indeed preferable to not be persuaded of anything in the first instance without studying it, likewise, imho, I do not consider it reasonable to write something off in the first instance either and certainly not reasonable to do so by dismissing volumes of evidence without explaining why.
It is akin to judging the book by it’s cover, which, imho, might not be the best rationale to assess anything.
Presently, the audience here have only been introduced to the first paragraph of the preface to that book and have not yet begun to read the myriad pages that follow, which contain numerous, identical examples of how the perps construct their “narratives” and schedule their “events”.
Also, imho, it is reasonable to expect anyone who might dismiss such evidence to have a sound basis for doing so and be willing to present those counter arguments for critique.
Rejection of evidence based on nothing more than feelings, intuition, or thoughts and reasoning not yet expressed, is also not the best approach to anything.
I suggest it is incumbent on those who may dismiss such information to at least begin to think about the issue under discussion, that being, the method by which the perps weave their faux narratives and schedule their events.
To date, after many years work on this, with hundreds of examples already posted on the web, I have yet to read any alternative explanation for what their method might be.
Nobody has ever offered any alternative hypothesis for how these faux narratives are constructed.
So what say you Kaiama ? Anyone ?
How are these narratives constructed and more specifically, what is the rationale for including often apparently “minor” ancillary false events in the mix ?
Do the desk officers in the puzzle palaces, just dream up stuff out of thin air, with no design rationale or imperative ?
Are false narrative nodes just randomly inserted into the mix of real facts and events with neither rhyme nor reason for their inclusion ?
Or are there design principles and therefore a methodology at work ?
Here is an important, self-evident, fact of life which I have discovered to my astonishment, most folk overlook and which I hope will help to frame any thinking on this subject.
A narrative Node X states that Event X is reported to have happened on Date X.
If we subsequently discover that narrative Node X is false, because for example, Event X could not and therefore did not happen, for whatever reason, then everyone needs to understand that not only is Event X false, but also it’s date attribute, Date X is false too.
If something is reported to have happened, did not in fact happen, then the date is it said to have happened on is also a lie too.
I trust that is a self-evident fact of life ?
So, all that remains in that scenario when analysing Node X, is to work out :
1. Why the false Event X was invented and included in the narrative in the first place and then
2. Why did the scriptwriters choose the false Date X for the false Event X ?
Why did they claim that, the now known to be false Event X, happened on Date X and not some other date ?
Are the dates assigned to known false events selected at random do you think ?
Research proves otherwise. Research proves over and over again that there is a method to the madness. It is systematic, reproducible and will be forever evident until the end of time, unless they change the calendar again.
The method relies on the simple science of mathematics using simple date arithmetic. So there is nothing new or “flaky” about the technique whatsoever.
On the contrary, I suggest that the only “flaky” part in this paradigm, is the understandable lack of awareness about the interpretation of these narratives and an understanding of their design method.
For example, when one reads in the Skripal script about “the spy with the Louis Vuitton handbag”, how is the information processed and interpreted ?
I’d say, at best, it is written off as a media joke and then ignored and more often, not even considered at all.
So, on that basis, imho, there seems little point in the scriptwriters including the meme at all.
This then leads to the next crucial part to understand.
If 99% of the audience are unable or unwilling to interpret and understand the meme, why do they include it in the narrative and who is the intended audience if not us ?
This “language of the oligarchs” or “twilight language” as some have called it, I suspect, is a method shared by all intel agencies.
If faction A is the real perpetrator and faction B is the intended target, then I suggest that faction B do know how to interpret these allegories and this language because they use the very same method.
As I have posted here before. the narratives always point to the “complaints” which comprise the motivation for the event and also always point to those responsible.
It is these kabbalistic facts of life which are correctly interpreted by agencies of the target faction and so they well know who is really doing what to whom and why.
We, the proles are not to be told the truth of course. We are persuaded that it is the enemy du jour who is always responsible.
For example, do folk think that our government would come out and tell us that it was Tel Aviv, or Washington or Riyadh who blew up the trains and not “home grown Islamic terrorists” ?
I think not.
The frequently but not exclusively self-inflicted smokescreen of “the government did it”, is often misdirection and incorrect. This will prevent any and all from seeing the wood from the trees.
Once that preconceived, debilitating obstacle is overcome in favour of the preferred open, analytical approach, then the various factions can be seen to be at work, along with their reasons and those responsible.
The only way to do that is to learn to interpret their language.
If we do not learn that language, then all that remains is the familiar “grammar analysis”, which is crucial of course, but I aver is of only limited value in narrative analysis. It may satisfy some to varying degrees, but is rarely conclusive. These pages attest to the numerous “opinions” that exercise provokes. Rarely is anything conclusively proved or even argued imho.
When one also considers that this “grammar analysis” completely ignores narrative nodes about which it is ill-equipped to analyse, such as the “the spy with the Louis Vuitton handbag” for example, it therefore becomes self-evident that “grammar analysis” on it’s own is a wholly inadequate method with which to study narratives.
No respected analytical discipline that I know of, cherry-picks the bits it wants to comment on while ignoring others that it just does not know what to do with.
Studying the kabbalistic event relationships overcomes this flawed approach. Always.
I aver, that is the way the narratives are created / written / constructed and therefore that is the way they should be decoded.
There is abundant, overwhelming evidence for this.
Re: the FIFA World Cup dates and Israel’s birthday.
We must all be aware that relationships such as 666m, w & d between events exist naturally.
I do not know about how the FIFA event is scheduled and who does that scheduling and why it is scheduled thus. ( I would be interested to know about this though. )
The fact remains that there is a 666m, w & d relationship to the first couple of days of the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
There is nothing anyone can do about this kabbalistic fact of life.
Whether the FIFA scheduling with respect to that relationship is intentional or not, I do not know. My post did not intend to convey any notion of intent or even design in this instance.
Whether this quintessential kabbalism will be used for some nefarious event, I don’t know.
It may be and it may be FIFA World Cup related, or not, I don’t know, because I do not have a crystal ball.
Although I never make predictions publicly, I made this exception because I do consider it worth posting, because it exists and because of this antecedent :
ISIS Syria : Omran Daqneesh : The Aleppo “dusty boy” psyop : Israel’s birthday
https://forum.davidicke.com/showthread.php?p=1062875231#post1062875231
*
One last thing :
The Trivium Method requires that we study logic, grammar and rhetoric.
This should equate to resolving the who, what, why, where and when of any narrative or event.
Attempts are made through “grammar analysis” to analyse the who, what, why, and where but never their neglected sibling, the “when”.
Why do you think that is the case ?
It baffles me. But there seems to be very little focus, if any on this crucial part of the analysis.
My work fills that gap and I aver, is the only way that a full understanding of these diabolical narratives can be achieved.
As an aside, I also suggest that the WMD meme, is itself an allegorical joke, since the only place we are going to find the elusive WMD is among the Weeks, Months and Days of the event relationships.
If anyone has any questions then I will do my best to answer them.

Sure some people set great store by these things, Talmudists, Masons, but that’s because they’re bloody lunatics, on the outermost fringe of the lunatic fringe at that, when I see it I know that similar to the ravings of those quoting from any of the holy books, I can dismiss it as fruitless nonsense immediately, scroll past, turn the page without consideration of the details or giving it even the least further thought. It’s not necessary or desirable to descend to their level of superstitiousness and stupidity; to indulge in trying to fathom pattern or reason in the actions or beliefs of madmen is futility itself. Events happen in the real world, subject to hundreds of variable uncontrollable factors, randomness. They’re just not that ‘clever’ they’re witless psychopaths, thieves and murderers, hypocrites and parasites.
What you’re doing is the equivalent of reading tea-leaves, and if it amuses you fine, carry on, if you look hard enough you can find and see anything you imagine or wish to, as can they, but objectively it simply isn’t there, and even if something insignificant were it would be purely by accident and coincidence, not by design, and if so what possible difference would it or could it possibly make back in the real world? Is it admissable in court, does it pay the bills recover lost or stolen items, does it advance universal knowledge …
It’s your religion your belief system, but its an artificial construct, bogus like them all, a terrible waste of time, yours, mine and others, time which could be put to better use -think of the opportunity cost.

You are asking “what’s cooking?”
I remain convinced that some major incident is planned to spoil the World Cup in Russia or even prevent it. They almost surely cannot have “Putin’s Russia” presented in a positive way to our unthinking public.
I personally think they will cook up another chemical incident that will as a minimum cause a boycott or scare people shitless from attending, but as a minimum they’ll send their military provocateurs to stir up crowd trouble and get games cancelled. Let’s also not forget what their ISIS friends might be sub-contracted to carry out on their behalf.
Whatever, there’s almost bound to be bad shit brewing.

The entire Skripnal affair has been like some sort of bad slapstick comedy routine from the very beginning. If one imagines it being perhaps a Monty Python skit it would of course be quite funny – the “official story” changes day to day, the most deadly substance known to man fails to kill or even permanently incapacitate the victims, and the politicians can’t even keep their lies straight.
Since it is clearly not intended to be viewed as “comdey,” one is left to believe that the powers that be, our “betters,” don’t even care how absolutely non-tethered to reality their various and sundry propaganda stunts are, because they know that their lackeys in MSM will repeat their non-stop idiocy as fact, reporting it as if such lunacy were received carved on stone tablets from the mountain top.
From America’s “Russiagate” to the U.K.’s “Skripnal” affair – actual factual information supporting each of these official narratives is basically non-existent, and the powers that be instead of providing actual “evidence” demand that we “trust them” for fear we’ll be labelled “Putin’s puppets” or “Stooges of the Kremlin.” That any thinking human being can take these absurd propaganda operations seriously is really quite remarkable, but speaks volumes about the state of critical thinking in the West.

Tony Kevin’s analysis of Julia Skripal’s statements and his conclusion that they were the result of negotiations between Julia and her minders is partly supported by John Helmer’s descriptions of what the English-language and Russian-language scripted statements say and what Julia herself says in the video. If Kevin were to read Helmer’s post, he’d be even more impressed with Julia’s spirit, that two statements that should be similar because one is a translation of the other end up saying quite different things.
http://johnhelmer.net/yulia-skripals-postscript-what-did-she-write-and-what-didnt-she-say-in-the-london-garden-event-plus-the-neurology-evidence/#more-19247
“… By announcing her “hope to return home to my country”, [Julia Skripal] repudiates the national blame which her British hosts report to the media. She has placed her national loyalty after her filial duty, leaving no doubt about both. However, there’s no mention of her host country or anybody British except for “the wonderful, kind staff at Salisbury hospital”. Again, Yulia departed from the dictated English text. In English she was reported as saying: “Finally, I would like to again thank everyone involved in my continued care.” In Russian she said she wanted to thank “all the people who gave me support and help in this difficult period of my life.” In that last sentence Yulia expanded the geography of her gratitude to include British, Russians, and the world of support which her case has generated. The phrase she added, which wasn’t in the MI6 script, is a reference, not to medical rehabilitation, but to her continuing custody in the UK, and the terms of isolation which have been imposed on her.
Her request for privacy at the end is different in Russian from the dictated English. According to the script drafted for her, Skripal referred to a statement issued in her name by the Metropolitan Police on April 5, adding: “no one speaks for me, or for my father, but ourselves”. In Russian what she said was: “nobody should or can speak for me and my father, except ourselves.” The English text is an instruction, directed at Russians, including her family members. The Russian text is a request, directed at Russians and British, alike.”

I want to clarify that this supposition is very wide of the mark and bears no relation to the actualité. On the contrary, I have the freedom to go wherever I wish, naturally within the bounds of the beautiful location in which I currently reside, and I would also want to reassure everyone that I have full access to friends, family, and information. I am free to call my mother at anytime, and I may well do this, when I judge that it will not be prejudicial to my continued recovery. All such talk of disappearance or abduction is arrant nonsense.

I don’t know if it was mentioned here, but a few days ago someone said that this incident was initially reported as a suspected Fentanyl poisoning.
The Salisbury Journal report of 4th March “Two in hospital after medical emergency at Maltings in Salisbury” (readily viewable online) is especially interesting.
If Fentanyl was initially suspected then that can surely only mean that the symptoms that the Skripals were exhibiting were similar to the symptoms of people with Fentanyl poisoning. I think these are quite different from the symptoms of people who have suffered nerve agent poisoning.
Fentanyl is an incapacitating agent as is BZ.
Remarkably, it was reported by the Salisbury Journal that Yulia Skripal was unconscious and airlifted to hospital at 5.15pm – one hour after the incident had been initially reported at around 4.15pm. Sergei Skripal was reportedly conscious and driven to hospital. One of them had apparently vomited.

2 moths later both patients are alive and well. So the Russians cant make a nerveagent ? According to V. Putin they can, and if it was compound A234 used they would be dead. Rhymes with me, as I recall VX kills in seconds and only Atropine at hand may save you.
The whole story is garbage, any reasonable thinking human being reject this garbage. Even the British government has been dumbed down, when the serve up utter crap like this. We (on the continent) are too bright to swallow this crap.

On the back of this comes news that Roman Abramovich – the Russian billionaire who owns Chelsea FC. and who has been blanked on a renewal of his UK visa – has applied for, obtained, and received Israeli citizenship. He has already bought a former hotel property in Israel, and in future it appears he will be classed as domiciled in Israel for tax purposes.
Quite a big fish for the British Inland Revenue to have let slip through their fingers, really. Probably several million pounds per year, at the very minimum.

If it were not for Britain’s unrelentingly pro-Zionist stance from 1920 to 1948, with its implacable suppression of Palestinian Arab interests, particularly from the late 1930s onwards, then the state of Israel would probably not exist today.

And then riding on their success decided, out of the blue, to POISON two Russian citizen’s in trench-coats with a super deadly killer chemical THAT KILLS 100% of the time! Guaranteeing success and world domination!
And to insure that no one would be fooled by believing 007 did it put big signs on their victims reading “MADE IN RUSSIA”!

I think we are well down the ‘Little Boy who cried wolf’ scenario where Russia bashing is concerned. I sould not trust HMG, MI6, the BBC, the MSM about anything to do with Russia. They backed the oligarchs to loot Russia in 1990s, now they are bashing Putin when Russia has recovered from that looting.
If we start from the assumption that the British Establishment are descended from- and have the same values as the global drug dealers of the East India Corporation, we will at least be pleasantly surprised if they are slightly less criminal than that.
We should assume they are elitist fascists, who nonetheless steal with impunity from those they call inferior.
Then we might cross examine Johnson and May like criminals in the dock, the healthy skepticism required to be a functioning journalist.
We might assume Russia innocent until proven guilty rather than guilty until proven innocent.

Russia is still recovering from that looting.

2. The Skripals were poisoned with a Novichok as confirmed by the OPCW. It is likely that the intended victim was Sergei, who had sold state secrets to Russia. So, Yulia’s poisoning accidental. (Like downing MH17).

Nerve agents are extremely toxic and fast acting. Ergo: the Skripals would be dead if they were poisoned by such a substance. There is no recovery.
As the author of this piece pointed out it is likely that the samples the OPCW received had been contaminated deliberately to serve the British government narrative.

The official narrative is so blatantly false it is not credible that anyone would find it plausible. This obvious lack of credibility makes it obvious that the British state simply does not care whether anyone believes the narrative or not. Indeed, the political media elite have pretty much dropped the story already. The press statement that Sergei Skripal had been discharged from hospital on the eve of a royal wedding that the corporate media were obsessing over was almost certainly timed so as to hide this news. As far as the British state is concerned, the Skripal case has already served its purpose and now they would prefer it be forgotten, other than as a meme for Russia is bad, in just the same way as other unsupported accusations against Russia have been reduced to unquestionable facts by simply ignoring the evidence.

Initial reports suggested poisoning with fentanyl. We dont know the biomed OPCW results but they are for exposure to a chemical rather than for its presence in the sample. Presence of metabolites could be taken to indicate exposure. In any case biomed analysis for nerve agent exposure is not definitive.

Spiez lab and others had both env. and blood samples. The statement that the Novichok wasn’t assimulated comes from Russia not the OPCW and is pure obfuscation. The (relative) purity of the Novichok is not altered by its assimilation into the body.
The emergency doctor did not visit or test the Skripals who were in intensive care at that time.
He was referring to additional members of the public who attended casualty with apparent symptoms.

Google: Salisbury + fentanyl + clinical services journal
And look for the tweet from the journalist fired for writing about weapon deliveries to Syrian rebels.

Where does it say the BZ was only in the QC samples?

A youtube video purporting to be a news report from a news organisation with no voice over and 226 views from over a month ago. The turkish OPCW head might well have said that, but he didn’t show anyone the original laboratory report that the OPCW received. I’d accept the lab report because then that would prove whether or not Lavrov was lying or telling the truth. The OPCW as an organisation doesn’t inspire much confidence in its independence when Russian requests for information and investigation were voted down. If there was nothing to hide from Russia they would have let them take part.

Also reconfirmed today by the head of the OPCW.
So, got the F A C T yet, Kaiama?
Yes, it was a Novichok NOT BZ.
Now write it out 100 times.

You need to try harder. That someone said something,yes. Cant hey back it up publically with the lab report? No. Hence they are hiding something.

Says the OPCW as the only possible response to Lavrovs leaked report. I do not trust that excuse. Not when BZ produces precisely the effects first reported in the Skripals.

Whole article is pure speculation.
The OPCW have confirmed a Novichok, and by the way the stuff about it not being assimilated and therefore added later comes from Russia, NOT from the OPCW.
And the OPCW have said there was no BZ in the blood or environmental samples.
Russia stated they would not accept the OPCW results even before they were published, and that’s what they are doing.

If they had been poisoned by novichok, they would be dead. End of story. Therefore they weren’t.
