WATCH: Wikileaks Documents Further Discredit OPCW

This video, made by RT, is a great rundown on the current state of the OPCW’s “official report” on the Douma incident. Put it simply: it is in tatter.

The OPCW’s reputation has been hanging by thread ever since the Working Group on Propaganda in Syria uncovered the “dissenting opinion” of Ian Henderson, and OPCW employee who authored a report claiming the Douma scene had been staged.

Atlantic Council propagandists claimed at the time that Henderson was a “disgruntled employee” and wasn’t an “official part of the fact-finding mission” (whatever that means), and so his opinion didn’t count.

This (nonsensical) opinion was discredited when it was revealed that, actually, Henderson was an official part of the fact-finding mission after all.

Further Wikileaks releases have shown over 20 other dissenting opinions, all disregarded in the OPCW “Final Report”. These included biologists and chemists

The crowning glory is the release of confidential e-mail, where a high-up at the OPCW is demanding Henderson’s report be stripped from the archive before anyone sees it.

Please get this document out of DRA [Documents Registry Archive]… And please remove all traces, if any, of its delivery/storage/whatever in DRA”

It’s all a bit of a mess really.

We live in a post truth age.
Truth and objective reality are just a matter of personal preference and political convenience now.
Facts and evidence can be manufactured to order like tins of baked beans by political hatchet men like Campbell and Rove, and peddled by the state controlled BBC and the Zionist billionaire owned MSM, with their legions of third rate hacks like Higgins, Harding and Ulfkotte.

At least Ulfkotte came clean with his book .I would not include him as third rate hack anymore .He was a shill and this he admittedly felt ashamed for .He is no longer with us but his epitaph lives on.
Am in the middle of reading his story .Good read I must say.

Aboslutely. Udo Ulfkotte blew the whistle on the CIA and German Intel manipulations of the MSM, and confessed to his part in it.
He did so in the knowledge that it could well result in his death, especially as he had promised to follow it up with two further books with further exposures. He died of a ‘heart attack’ (very easy to induce by the Spooks) before he could write the other two books.
R.I.P., Udo. Your sins were washed clean by your bravery and confession.
I recommend his book (English translation available as ‘Presstitutes Embedded in the Pay of the CIA: A Confession from the Profession’).

American response to the evidence: “No, that’s not right. It’s the opposite of what you say”, or, basically, “It wasn’t me, it was him”.

The OPCW Douma docs scandal rises in importance to the category occupied by the 9/11 false flag of September 11, 2001 – meaning both scandals are impossible to ignore because of the immeasurable consequences for humanity, and therefore the fullest and most thorough investigations to expose the truth are absolutely necessary.

About time the ‘high up official’ were publicly named.

They after all, have cold-bloodedly, calculatedly and utterly amorally decided to betray every principle of a science-led evidence-based organisation to cobble together a patchwork quilt of lies, half-truths and omissions which render their role in any organisation worth deferring to as entirely untenable.

Start asking the questions: ‘Was it XXXX?’ ‘If not, was it YYY?’ Do not stop asking until official denials for every single possible suspect have been issued.

Then get the original leaker of this email to name who it came from, with a print out of said email address at the top of the single piece of paper needed to expose the miscreant………

The culprit is no secret, it was Sebastien Braha, Chief of Cabinet at the OPCW:

The OPCW report’s integrity and reliability are beyond question. Eliot Higgins says so, so it must be true. If the assessment of an unemployed underwear salesman doesn’t settle the issue conclusively, then I don’t know what will. Who cares about Ian Henderson and 20 of his colleagues when we’ve got Captain Suspender Belt to sort it out for us?

Surely it could be possible to crowd source the funds for civil actions to be brought against Higgins for acts of complicity with salafist butchers, in one jurisdiction or another. And if we get Higgins, go after the others, one by one. ‘ Rule of Law’, after all.

The OPCW was just as suspicious when it came to Salisbury.

“The results of the analysis confirmed the findings of the United Kingdom relating to the identity of the toxic chemical.”

https://www.opcw.org/media-centre/featured-topics/incident-salisbury

We know what the government told the MSM about the identity of the ‘toxic chemical’, but we have no idea what the government communicated to the OPCW regarding its’ identity’. The failure to make this explicit was not some kind of oversight or poor phrasing.

I remember that they sent the Skripals’ blood samples a good month after the “poisning” – Novichok degrades with time, but the OPCW labs detected fresh Novichok – therefore the Novichok was

to the samples

being sent to the OPCW. I’ll post a link if I can find where I found this information.

You are missing the point. The OPCW never confirmed it was Novichok. That could only be inferred from their ambiguous statement which doesn’t make clear the identity of what the toxin the United Kingdom’s findings were or even quite which body or entity the ‘United Kingdom’ referred to. If it was Novichok they had no reason to not make this explicit. Their failure to be explicit can only mean that the toxin was not Novichok and the ‘findings’ the UK government communicated to them were different from those they leaked to the UK press. The letter to the OPCW would have gone something along the lines of “We initially thought it was toxin X but now our findings indicate that it is toxin Y”.

The OPCW laboratories confirmed that it was pure Novichok. Since Novichok degrades in the body with time, had there been Novichok in the Skripals’ blood samples taken some thirty or so days after the alleged poisoning, it would not be pure Novichok.

Excerpt:

The OPCW’s summary report did not name the compound, which Britain has said is a military grade nerve agent from the novichok family that was developed in Russia.

However, it named the chemical in its “full classified report”, which was made available to 192 state parties, including Russia.

They lie about EVERYTHING else, impudently and impertinently, so why not this? And NO Western MSM presstitute will ever dare mention this scandal, let alone criticise the perpetrators. Their filthy jobs depend on it.

Western Governments and Media lie, lie, lie. So much so. It is a rare exception when they tell the truth. I think the last time a politician told the truth was when Ike gave his farewell address and notice that was his farewell address.

Anyone in the Media who tells the truth either ends up dead or unemployed or in Julian’s case locked up.

Ike’s warning was prophetic, but he was a foul War Criminal himself, killing millions of Germans, POW’s, DEP’s and civilians in a deliberate starvation policy after WWII
(see ‘Other Losses’ and ‘Crimes and Mercies’ by James Bacque).

There are lots of things presstitutes wouldn’t dare mention. Like the existence of anti-Semitism in western ‘mainstream’ conservative political parties.

They’ve clearly decided to go down with the now discredited narrative. Like Hitler in his bunker – they have no way out. What may happen next is the less complicit figures in the media, politics etc will disassociate themselves from this. After all would you wish to be pushing a narrative you know to be a lie? A lie likely facilitated by the mass murder of civilians and nearly did (and will continue to be a risk) result in World War 3?

Douma will be the WMD of this decade. But the repercussions far worse for the perpetrators who promoted this imo.

Despite Peter Hounam’s book, ‘Operation Cyanide’, how many people are aware that LBJ dispatched A4’s from the Sixth Fleet, and other aircraft from a US base in North Africa, to nuke Egypt in 1967 in ‘retaliation’ for a murderous attack on the USS Liberty by Israel??, having concocted the attack with the Mossad? The planes were recalled just three minutes from targets. The plan was for LBJ to send the ship to sail off the Egyptian coast, Israel was to attack and sink it, and leave no survivors, and it was to be blamed on Egypt, which was then to be nuked. Mercifully, the ship didn’t sink, and they managed to get out an all-points SOS, so Israel broke off the attack. There has still been no Congressional Investigation of the attack. If the American public knew the truth, their abject acceptance of Israeli meddling in their affairs, and the… Read more »
