Right on the money Crew Dog. We are so inured to the hidden evil around us (babies murdered minute to minute) we barely see it any more. But it is beyond heinous--it is into a whole new realm of evil. We don't know the half of it. When (if) it is exposed and people see it in all its parameters and consequences the whole earth will shake with horror.
Padraig, this is exactly how the Antichrist will come. He will not throw out worship, but he will blend all forms of worship together to make everyone feel utopia and it will be the height of relativism, where there is no absolutes anymore. He will not even stop the Catholic worship, but he will only take the sacrificial aspect of the Mass out of the worship so it is protestant. The video is exactly this subtle evil appearing as fun and lifting, because it has no boundaries and all forms of sex and drugs is okay by them.
Nowhere has the UK provided evidence that Russia was involved - the kind of evidence that can be independently examined and would stand up in a court of law. In the West these days, evidence it not needed, you are guilty until proven guilty: case in point, Trump's illegal, unjust bombing of Syria the day before the investigators were going to Douma. The level of warmongering and lawlessness in the West these days is truly a sign of the times. But back to Skripal. There is no empirical evidence pointing to Russia and the UK refuses to make public the results of their "investigation." So all we have to form a conclusion are logic and history. It defies logic that Putin ordered this hit, given that it happened days before the Russian election and weeks before the World Cup being held in Russia. Politically, such an action would be extremely harmful to Putin's image and reputation in Russia. Anyone, whether Putin, FSB or GRU agents, or gangsters, who wanted to kill Skripal for selling out Russian agents could have done so during the 5 years he was held in a Russian prison, where both official and gangland killings are relatively easy. Why wait so long and do it in the UK, in the one town where novichok could be identified rapidly, and where the political repercussions for Putin could be disastrous? It doesn’t add up. But there is I think an alternative theory that needs to be considered based on logic, common sense and what we now know. Like Litvinenko and most Russian FSB or GRU defectors, Skripal was working for MI6 and for private intelligence companies doing research into shady Russian businessmen. His old MI6 recruiter and handler, Pablo Miller, lived in Salisbury (they became friends again) and worked for Christopher Steele’s Orbis Business Intelligence. They produced the dodgy dossier on Donald Trump and Moscow prostitutes, which still underlies Mueller’s Russia probe. Miller certainly worked on this report as he was Steele’s main Russia expert. But just as Litvinenko outsourced reports to other Russian agents (like his accused killer Lugovoy) so Miller would almost certainly have enlisted Skripal’s help on background details. Skripal would know exactly how fake that report was. Now here is his daughter who has gone back to Russia and according to her cousin Victoria is dating a man she suspects of being an FSB agent. Is it too much of a leap of logic to imagine Yulia pressuring her father to come home again now that he has nobody left in England but a big extended family in Russia? His mother is over 90. Mothers count for Russians. He has information (about the Steele dossier) he could easily trade with the FSB or GRU for forgiveness and a cushy retirement near his family. Don’t forget that Skripal betrayed the GRU for money, not ideology. Steele starts to hear vague hints of Skripal wanting to return to see his mother. If the FSB debrief him and Steele’s dodgy dossier is exposed as pure lies, it is political dynamite in Washington. The Neocons and maybe Mueller will be discredited. Putin and Trump may get back together. And for Steele personally, it means perjury charges. Skripal has to be stopped from going back, and his daughter has to be stopped from telling the world he was wanting to go back. So they (either Steele alone or MI6 too, more probably) make the attack with novichok, which dozens of chemists have testified can be made in any decent laboratory, but which can still be pinned on Russia for historical reasons. It gives them a chance to whip up some anti-Putin hysteria. But being British they have scruples. They decide to use BZ, a British and US nerve agent that only incapacitates for several days, and simply to plant traces of novichok to make the world think it was used. Hence the finding of the Swiss laboratory at Spiez: BZ was the operative agent. But novichok was added to the sample afterwards, in a suspiciously pure form, given its tendency to rapid degradation. And hence the Skripals’ survival, and their display of the symptoms of BZ not novichok. MI6 were convinced they could terrorize the Skripals into going along with their story of a Putin assassination attempt, get them out of the way, send them to the USA, change their names, and the story would never come out. The fact they didn't die from a "military grade nerve agent" that kills in seconds will just be one of those mysteries never solved. Given Skripal’s venal nature (betraying dozens of friends for $100,000) I would bet he was weighing up becoming a triple agent, selling on what he knew about Steele’s dossier to those who put a high value on that information. That is what led to him being silenced. And gave an opportunity for another round of Russia-bashing.
Richard, I think we need to agree to disagree also. Are you "Dr. Rendezvous" because you copied his theory verbatim, http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message3817620/pg1?disclaimer=1? Dr. Rendezvous' signature is, "We sail into history, Comrades!"
I went to that website you mentioned and was greeted by what can only be called softcore pornography ads. No thanks. Won't be going back. Looks like a tabloid-run website. No, I read this theory on Skripal in the comments over at Consortium News in an excellent article "An Alternative Explanation to the Skripal Mystery" https://consortiumnews.com/2018/04/17/an-alternative-explantion-to-the-skripal-mystery/ Excellent article. Makes much more sense than the rubbish we are being fed by the UK.
Richard, The link that I provided came up on a search and goes to a blog called "Godlike Productions". When I click on that link I don't get any such ads that you have stated. In any case, it's good that you explained the source for the theory that you posted. Edited to add: This is the Wikipedia page for the author of the article that you provided for those who may be interested, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gareth_Porter . In 2010, Porter said he had been waiting many years for someone to ask him about his earlier views of the Khmer Rouge. He described how the climate of distrust of the government generated during the Vietnam war carried over to Cambodia. "I uncovered a series of instances when government officials were propagandizing [about the Vietnam war]. They were lying," he explained. "I've been well aware for many years that I was guilty of intellectual arrogance. I was right about the bloodbath in Vietnam, so I assumed I would be right about Cambodia.."[38] American leftists were Pol Pot's cheerleaders 4/30/1998 http://archive.boston.com/news/glob...american_leftists_were_pol_pots_cheerleaders/ Amazing, the lies that were told as Cambodia's holocaust roared on. The "scholars'' were the worst. Gareth Porter and G.C. Hildebrand of the Indochina Resource Center insisted that Pol Pot's horrendous cruelties "saved the lives of tens of thousands of people.''...Tell that to a million murdered Cambodians.
Interesting. In both your responses you fail to deal with the points raised and raise questions about the messenger. Very telling. Porter's theory is that the Russian mafia did it. But I find it unconvincing, and agree with the comments below his article most of which question Porter's logic and raise the much more convincing theory that I mentioned above - certainly a theory that makes much more sense than the nonsense peddled by the UK government and the rest of the Western Fake News Media.
Richard, You did refer to the article as "excellent" twice in your post. I did not raise questions about the messenger, I simply provided some background on the messenger for those who are interested. We can analyze theories about the Skripal case as much as we like but at then end of the day they are all still theories. It is still up to each of us to draw our own opinions on the Skripal case if we care to. I have already stated my opinion about the Skripal case and it is a matter of opinion as to whether or not the UK acted appropriately by expelling the Russian diplomats.
Regardless of anyone's theories and all of our opinions, I don't think many are buying the "official" story no matter how many times the MSM parrots it on TV or in print. The fog of war is not confined to battles with bullets and bombs.
Until there's something more plausible and more reasonable beyond the known current threats, historical means and methods of ongoing similar crimes. And that is what all responsible leaders are sworn to do as their first priority....the security of their own based upon all of the known factors. Let all others without that main burden upon their shoulders speculate on what "could" be but is yet unknown within the historical pattern for such events!
Don, So true, "The fog of war is not confined to battles with bullets and bombs". In my post which highlighted a statement made by the writer of one of the articles Richard posted, I wanted to confirm the very thing that you have stated here. The writer, Gareth Porter, admitted that he "was guilty of intellectual arrogance" in regard to what is now referred to as the Cambodian Genocide from 1975 to 1979. Sometimes it takes years and years for the fog of war to clear for the truth to be revealed and sometimes we never know the truth. In the article which Richard posted, Mr. Porter finishes with the following statement, ...the Russians may be reluctant to talk about it, because it would inevitably get into details of a secret nerve agent research project that they have claimed they closed down in 1992, despite Rink’s testimony in the court case that he was still doing some work for the Russian military until 1994. If this is true it is more proof that the UK's decision to expel the Russian diplomats was the responsible decision to make, imo.
Kabul suicide blast outside voter registration centre kills 57 22 April 2018 https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/20...last-outside-voter-registration-centre-kills/ An Islamic State suicide bomber killed 57 people including women and children and wounded dozens outside a voter registration centre in the Afghan capital Kabul on Sunday in the latest attack on election preparations. The assaults underscore growing concerns about security in the lead-up to legislative elections scheduled for October 20, which are seen as a test-run for next year's presidential poll. "It happened at the entrance gate of the centre. It was a suicide attack," Dawood Amin, Kabul police chief, told AFP. Both the health and interior ministries confirmed the latest toll for the attack, which was claimed by Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) via its propaganda arm Amaq. After initial reports, the death toll from the blast rose to 57 on Sunday afternoon, with 119 others wounded, a public health officer said. The centre in a heavily Shia-populated neighbourhood in the west of the city was also being used by people to register for national identification certificates, which they need to sign up to vote. Sheets of paper and passport-sized photos lay scattered amid shattered glass and pools of blood on the street near badly damaged cars - grim evidence of the force of the blast that drew international condemnation. "This senseless violence shows the cowardice and inhumanity of the enemies of democracy and peace in Afghanistan," US ambassador John Bass wrote on Twitter. Nato also condemned the bombing. The last major attack in Kabul was on March 21 when an Isil suicide bomber blew himself up in a crowd celebrating the Persian New Year holiday and killed at least 33 people. Ariana TV showed angry crowds shouting "Death to the government!" and "Death to the Taliban!" A wounded man in a hospital bed wept as he told the network: "I don't know where my daughters are. God damn the attackers!" A witness to the attack named Akbar told Tolo TV: "Now we know the government cannot provide us security: we have to get armed and protect ourselves." Photos posted on social media purportedly of the scene showed several bodies on the ground and a badly damaged two-storey building. Elsewhere, a roadside explosion in the northern province of Baghlan on Sunday killed six people, including three women and two children. President Ashraf Ghani condemned both attacks as "heinous". Afghanistan began registering voters on April 14 for the long-delayed legislative elections. Officials have acknowledged that security is a major concern because the Taliban and other militant groups control or contest large swathes of the country. Afghan police officers inspect the scene of the attack Credit: Haroon Sabawoon/Anadolu Agency/Getty Images Afghan police and troops have been tasked with protecting polling centres, even as they struggle to get the upper hand against insurgents on the battlefield. Militants on Friday launched rockets at a voter registration centre in the northwestern province of Badghis. At least one police officer was killed and another person was wounded, officials said, blaming the Taliban. On Tuesday gunmen attacked a voter registration centre in the central province of Ghor, kidnapping three election workers and two policemen. Taliban militants released the five on Thursday. An Afghan security forces mamber stands guard Credit: REUTERS/Omar Sobhani Over the next two months, authorities hope to register up to 14 million adults at more than 7,000 polling centres for the parliamentary and district council elections. Officials have been pushing people to register amid fears a low turnout will undermine the credibility of the polls. Since the Persian New Year attack a tense calm has permeated the Afghan capital as people brace for the Taliban's launch of its customary spring offensive. The Taliban are under pressure to take up Mr Ghani's peace offer made in February but so far the group has given only a muted response. Some Western and Afghan officials expect 2018 to be a particularly bloody year. General John Nicholson, the top US and NATO commander in Afghanistan, told Tolo TV last month that he expected the Taliban to carry out more suicide attacks this fighting season.
Nicaragua riots: Relatives of US embassy staff told to leave April 23, 2018 http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-43860848 Image copyright Reuters Image caption The protests have turned increasingly violent during the past five days The state department has ordered relatives of US government employees based in Nicaragua to leave the Central American country. Services at the US embassy in the capital in Managua will be curtailed. The order comes after days of deadly rioting triggered by planned changes to Nicaragua's social security system. Even though Nicaraguan leader Daniel Ortega had scrapped the changes, the situation remains tense and more protests are expected. The state department also said it would authorise US government personnel to leave Nicaragua but that those decisions would have to be taken on a case-by-by-case basis. In a statement it warned that "political rallies and demonstrations are occurring daily, often with little notice or predictability". "Some protests result in injuries and deaths," it says, adding that buying food and fuel could become a challenge and access to the airport in Managua could be blocked. A human rights group says at least 27 people have been killed in total as a result of the unrest, more than double the official death toll of 10. How did it all start? The unrest first started on Wednesday when hundreds of people, mainly pensioners, took to the streets of the capital, Managua, to protest against changes to the country's social security system. Media caption The protest against pension changes have escalated in recent days The protesters and some of the journalists covering the demonstration were set upon by men wearing motorcycle helmets who beat them with metal pipes and electric cables. Some local media said those beating up the protesters were part of pro-government gangs and were wearing T-shirts with pro-government slogans. How did it escalate? On Thursday, students and employers joined the protesting pensioners in several cities, boosting the numbers of demonstrators to thousands rather than hundreds. There were also further stand-offs between the protesters and pro-government groups. Image copyright AFP Image caption Protesters took out their anger on some of the "Trees of Life" sculptures designed by the First Lady Students took over the National University of Engineering and confronted riot police, who fired tear gas and rubber bullets. The protests spread from Managua to a dozen other cities across the country. On Friday, the army was deployed to guard government buildings and the protests turned deadly with several people, including two protesters and a policeman, killed. Profile: Daniel Ortega President chooses wife as running mate Nicaragua reporter killed on Facebook Live The security forces were accused of using excessive force to contain the protests, which had started peacefully. But First Lady Rosario Murillo, who is also the country's vice-president, defended the response, saying it constituted a "legitimate defence against a tiny group" of troublemakers. Over the weekend, protests escalated further with a reporter shot dead during a live broadcast in the town of Bluefields on the Caribbean coast. Image copyright Reuters Image caption Stores were looted in Managua Image copyright Reuters Image caption Some shop owners armed themselves to protect their shuttered businesses Some took advantage of the chaos to loot shops, while shopkeepers armed themselves and stood guard around their businesses. What were the proposed changes? The changes were aimed at boosting Nicaragua's troubled social security system, which has been running on a deficit. Pensioners would have had to pay 5% of their pensions into a fund for medical expenses. Employees would have had to contribute a larger chunk of their salary towards social security - 7% instead of the current 6.25%. And employers, too, would have had to pay more money into the social security pot. The changes were due to come into force on 1 July. Are the protests only about social security? The protests were triggered by the proposed changes but the harsh response to what started as peaceful demonstrations brought many more people onto the streets. There was also outrage over the fact that journalists were among those killed. A number of TV stations also complained of censorship after they were taken off the cable network. Image copyright EPA Image caption Protesters are demanding freedom of speech be restored Miguel Mora, the director of 100% Noticias, one of the stations to be taken off air, wrote on Facebook: "They are threatening us!" The protests also appear to have grown into a bigger anti-government movement, with protesters expressing their anger at the president's increasingly authoritarian style. Is the scrapping of the measure likely to calm matters? For those whose main concern was the increase in social security payments, its scrapping will be seen as a victory and it may satisfy them. But the anti-government protests, the largest in decades, have emboldened many Nicaraguans to speak out more freely against President Daniel Ortega and his influential wife and vice-president. There has been discontent with the president, who is on his third consecutive term in office, for years in some parts of society. The 2014 scrapping of presidential term limits has been seen as a threat to democracy and some of those who have been demonstrating have accused Mr Ortega and his wife of having "dictatorial tendencies". The business community has said it will not sit down for talks with the government until police violence stops and freedom of speech is restored. Protesting students have demanded that those arrested during the demonstrations be freed.
There are quite a few retired American expats living in Nicaragua I think. Yikes. The whole world is like dry tinder.
AED, There is a lot going on... Madagascar leader urges end to unrest amid protests over deaths Lovasoa Rabary April 23, 2018 https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...nrest-amid-protests-over-deaths-idUSKBN1HU17P ANTANANARIVO (Reuters) - Madagascar’s president on Monday demanded an end to unrest he said was intended to divide the country after two demonstrators were killed in a confrontation between police and anti-government protesters at the weekend. Demonstrators from the opposition attend a march in protest after the president denounced unrest in which two people were killed as a "coup" intended to divide the country's people in Antananarivo, Madagascar April 23, 2018. REUTERS/Clarel Faniry Rasoanaivo The violence has inflamed a political dispute over new electoral laws, and President Hery Rajaonarimampianina’s remarks coincided with a march through the capital by thousands of anti-government demonstrators protesting against the deaths. “As army chief, the president has not shed blood and will not shed blood,” said Rajaonarimampianina, referring to himself in the third person in remarks on a visit to port project. “The blood has flowed enough in our country. It must stop. The violence must stop.” Demonstrators from the opposition attend a march in protest after the president denounced unrest in which two people were killed as a "coup" intended to divide the country's people in Antananarivo, Madagascar April 23, 2018. REUTERS/Clarel Faniry Rasoanaivo His remarks appeared to signal a change of tone from Sunday, when he described the protests as “a coup” and warned “those who sow unrest and incite people to tear each other apart” that the state would respond by assuming its responsibilities. On Saturday, police fired teargas at an opposition demonstration held in protest against new electoral laws, where one person died and more than a dozen were treated for injuries, some caused by teargas canisters.[L8N1RY06K] Another individual injured in Saturday’s unrest, died on Sunday, Olivat Alson Rakoto, director of a hospital in the city, told Reuters. On Monday, thousands of demonstrators, most of them dressed in white, assembled in front of the city hall and a public square, where the coffins of the two individuals killed at the weekend were placed on the ground, the Reuters witness said. Supporters of opposition politician Marc Ravalomanana, a former leader of the Indian Ocean island nation, say the new electoral laws are designed to block him from running in the election. The opposition is also challenging provisions on campaign financing and access to media in the laws. “We protest these laws that were adopted by corrupted members of parliament,” said Christine Razanamahasoa, an opposition lawmaker. Slideshow (5 Images) DIALOGUE Harivonjy Randriamalala, a 42-year-old father of three children, said: “We want the president to resign. We want freedom of speech. We want elections in which all people can run.” Ravalomanana, who was removed in a 2009 coup, has teamed up with the man who succeeded him, Andy Rajoelina, to oppose the laws pushed by President Hery Rajaonarimampianina. The election is due before the end of this year though the precise date has yet to be set. “I call on churches to convince those who are not yet convinced to engage in dialogue to find a solution to the crisis. If not, we can no longer contain (the anger of) the people,” Ravalomanana said in a statement. Before Monday’s march began, General Beni Xavier Rasolofonirina, the defense minister, appealed to politicians to find an outcome that would avoid violence. “The security forces invite politicians to discuss and find a political solution to a political problem. The police will never accept power that does not come from the electoral process,” he said in a statement. He said police would stay away from the area where people were marching.

Armenian PM Sarksyan quits after 11 days of street protests Hasmik Mkrtchyan April 23, 12018 https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...fter-11-days-of-street-protests-idUSKBN1HU1RI YEREVAN (Reuters) - Armenian Prime Minister Serzh Sarksyan resigned on Monday after almost two weeks of mass street protests that have plunged the ex-Soviet republic into political crisis. Sarksyan, a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, had served as Armenia’s president for a decade until this month and had faced accusations of clinging to power when parliament elected him as prime minister last week. Under a revised constitution, the prime minister now holds most power in the southern Caucasus nation, while the presidency has become largely ceremonial. Pressure on the 63-year-old to quit had increased sharply on Monday when unarmed soldiers in the capital Yerevan joined the anti-government protests, which first erupted on April 13. Though peaceful, the tumult has threatened to destabilise Armenia, a Russian ally in a volatile region riven by its decades-long, low-level conflict with Azerbaijan. Moscow, which has two military bases in Armenia, was closely watching events. “I got it wrong,” Sarksyan said in a statement. “In the current situation there are several solutions, but I won’t choose any of them. It’s not my style. I am quitting the country’s leadership and the post of prime minister of Armenia.” He said he was bowing to protesters’ demands and wanted his country to remain peaceful. Former Armenian prime minister Karen Karapetyan, an ally of Sarksyan from his ruling pro-Russian Republican Party, was named as acting prime minister, the government said in a statement. President Armen Sarkissian accepted the prime minister’s and the government’s resignation. Armenia’s political parties in parliament now have seven days to put forward the name of a new prime minister. Sarksyan’s allies remain in key positions in the government and it remains unclear whether his resignation will herald any real change. CELEBRATIONS Protesters loudly celebrated Sarksyan’s resignation. Some hugged policemen in the street amid cheers, others beeped car horns, and some danced and drank. “It’s the happiest day in my life,” said 20-year-old student Karine Stepanyan. “We showed to the entire world that our country’s destiny is in hands of Armenian people.” Tens of thousands filled the capital’s central Republic Square, waving national flags, blowing vuvuzelas and chanting:”Victory!” “The first stage of our revolution is over - prime minister has resigned,” Nikol Pashinyan, a lawmaker regarded as the main opposition leader, said to loud applause from the crowd. On Sunday police had detained him, two other opposition leaders and nearly 200 protesters, drawing a rebuke from the European Union. [nL8N1RZ05H] Police released Pashinyan and others on Monday. Pashinyan said he would hold talks with Karapetyan to discuss what happens next. FILE PHOTO: Armenia's former President Serzh Sarksyan attends a session of the parliament in Yerevan, Armenia April 17, 2018. REUTERS/Vahram Baghdasaryan/Photolure/File photo “We are ready to continue talks with acting prime minister Karen Karapetyan on Wednesday to ensure a transfer of power to the people,” Pashinyan told tens of thousands of supporters. “I hope that the high echelons of the (ruling) Republican Party will unequivocally recognise the popular velvet and non-violent revolution,” he said. Early parliamentary elections should be held, he said. The protests which toppled Sarksyan lasted for 11 days and saw tens of thousands of protesters march through Yerevan and other towns, blocking streets and staging sit-ins that disrupted daily life. Asked about the crisis on Monday before Sarksyan’s resignation, the Kremlin called Armenia an “extraordinarily important country” for Russia, but dismissed the idea it might intervene, calling the crisis a domestic matter. Last week Putin rang Sarksyan to congratulate him on becoming premier. As president, Sarksyan took Armenia, a country of about three million people, into a Russia-backed economic bloc and bought weapons from Moscow. The protesters’ complaints were mainly domestic and focused on pervasive corruption and poverty in a country that won independence from Moscow in 1991 but has been hampered by its conflict with Azerbaijan over the breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh and other issues. Slideshow (2 Images) But critics have also accused Sarkasyan of moving landlocked Armenia too close to Russia at the expense of better ties with the West and increased prosperity, and it was unclear whether his political demise could lead to a change in foreign policy. Armenia’s 2025 dollar-denominated bond fell 0.83 cents after Sarksyan said he would resign, hitting a one-year low.

Police: 9 dead, 16 injured after van plows into Toronto crowd; driver in custody A body lies covered on the sidewalk in Toronto after a van crashed into a number of pedestrians on Monday. (Aaron Vincent Elkaim / The Canadian Press) Associated Press April 23, 2018 A van apparently jumped onto a sidewalk Monday at a busy intersection in Toronto and struck down pedestrians before the vehicle was found and the driver taken into custody, Canadian police said. Toronto police said nine are dead and 16 injured. It was not immediately clear what caused the van to strike the pedestrians in the north-central part of the city. Police did not immediately identify the driver. "At this point it's too early to tell what if any motive there was. We are also unable right now to tell the extent or the number of persons injured," Toronto police spokeswoman Meaghan Gray said. A witness, Phil Zullo, told Canadian Press that he saw police arresting a man who had been driving a Ryder rental truck and saw people "strewn all over the road" where the incident occurred. "I must have seen about five, six people being resuscitated by bystanders and by ambulance drivers," Zullo said. "It was awful. Brutal." Toronto paramedic spokeswoman Kim McKinnon said first responders were treating multiple patients, but wouldn't confirm the number or severity of injuries. Police shut down the Yonge and Finch intersection following the incident and Toronto's transit agency said it has suspended service on the subway line running through the area. The incident occurred as Cabinet ministers from the major industrial countries were gathered in Canada to discuss a range of international issues in the run-up to the G7 meeting near Quebec City in June. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau expressed his sympathies for those involved. "Our hearts go out to everyone affected," Trudeau said in Ottawa. "We are going to have more to learn and more to say in the coming hours." Prayers for everyone effected by all tragedies such as this one and the others on this thread.
Skripal Breakthrough: OPCW’s Director ADMITS to Russian Pranksters that he has no proof of Russia’s involvement. The OPCW’s Director-General admitted that the toxin which poisoned Sergei and Yulia Skripal could have been manufactured in any country. He told this to Russian prank callers Vladimir Kuznetsov (Vovan) and Aleksei Stolyarov (Lexus). Ahmet Uzumcu, the head of the OPCW, thought that the caller was Poland’s Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki.
In my country Carol, when someone is accused of a crime - particularly murder, evidence is produced to link the criminal to the crime. I'm not exactly sure what happens in your country but that's what happens in mine. Do you understand this? Evidence + crime = guilt. What the Brits are saying is, 'we think they did it, therefore they are guilty because we are the righteous Brits'. Nonsense. Just like Iraq had WMD. Just like Libya had WMD. Do you see any kind of correlation? The people of those countries were murdered on a lie! A lie perpetrated by the western elite led governments. No??? What I expected from other countries in this instance was the following: Okay, guys.... we have an international issue between 2 countries here. How do we resolve it? France, America, Germany.... anybody really, might mediate between the 2 sides. Try and negotiate. THEN form an opinion. If one country were found to be the aggressor then the other countries would take a United stance against the aggressor. It might take a bit of time, but they would get to THE TRUTH. That didn't happen. The Western Elites jumped immediately, together. Almost as if it was planned?! And it is obvious to state that governments should protect their citizens, but it is also rational to conclude that they should explain why they have decided to apportion blame to another country. They have not produced evidence, Carol. Just because someone owns a gun, doesn't mean they killed someone now does it? I mean really....
