When USEFUL IDIOTS lie: #Navalny with #Bellingcat's Christo Grosev said, "#Novichok disappears from body within hrs" plus Navalny's chief of staff Leonid Volkov trigger phrase "#Putin's signature" for effect. They forgot #Skripal's blood were taken weeks after they were poisoned.

People describe #Putin as a bully, a mafia boss, a barbaric war criminal, or simply as evil.
All of these views are correct, but Psychopathy is in many ways an attempt at a scientific understanding of evil

If we understand the personality traits and behaviours of psychopaths, we can begin to understand the extent to which a person may be Psychopathic (or not).
As psychopathy exists on a spectrum, perhaps a better question is *how psychopathic* is Putin?

NO-ONE WAS KILLED BY #NOVICHOK IN #SALISBURY (1/6)
How can say this? Three reasons.
1. The chemical was not confirmed to be "novichok". Porton Down said it had found novichok in the #Skripal blood samples, but in court PD's expert wouldn't confirm this.

The #OPCW was careful not to explicitly identify #novichok in its analysis of the blood samples it received from the UK. It hedged its language in a strange way, merely saying it "confirmed" the UK's findings relating to the identity of the chemical. (2/6)
2. Nobody knows where the bottle of #novichok that turned up 4 months later in a flat in #Amesbury 8 miles away from #Salisbury, came from -- least of all Charlie Rowley, who supposedly found it. There's no evidence the bottle was ever in #Salisbury. (3/6)

Der Krieg in der #Ukraine mag vielleicht überraschend sein – für @ZelenskyyUa allerdings nicht – aber dass Putin ein Despot ist liegt schon seit über 20 Jahren auf dem Tisch. Wer anderes erzählt belügt sich selbst bzw. wollte es einfach nicht wissen.
Denn Opfer, Kriege und Angriffe Putins gibt es viele. Was der Preis dafür sein kann #Putin zu kritisieren, erzählt niemand hinter vorgehaltener Hand, jeder weiß das. Eine Chronologie!

#CaroleCadwalladr, seen here with her friend, the "ex-spy" Christopher Steele, has evidently been ordered to re-heat the #Skripal #Salisbury #novichok story (which Steele was involved with) because of the "biolabs" found in #Ukraine. So let's deconstruct her #disinformation. 1/11
#CaroleCadwalladr has long been known to be associated with UK intelligence. Documents reveal her connection to the discredited 'Integrity Initiative', a project intended to build a network of client journalists to promote the establishment's agenda. 2/11
This is the article we'll quickly look at, which #CaroleCadwalladr had published in The Observer today. We will see that she is the antithesis of an investigative journalist, carefully avoiding the important questions about stories like the #Skripals. 3/11 theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/m…

'Flat Earth News' @Bynickdavies is a classic analysis of how propaganda works by a great investigative journalist; I was lucky to meet him once at a @NUJofficial event. His remarks about the #Skripal case are essential so I'm uploading them here (video clips in three parts). 1/3

@dankaszeta omitted significant facts and distorted aspects of the #Skripal case in his recent talk for @edskeptics, as I will show in this thread.

Kaszeta blocked me on Twitter long ago.
This was after I asked him how it was possible that two people as physically different as Sergei and Yulia #Skripal could be *almost simultaneously overcome* by the effects of a nerve agent they had allegedly touched hours before.

Other states where assassinations have taken place (UK, Germany, Bulgaria) can join Ukraine's action as third parties. Several are likely to do so, I'm told. The big question is whether the British foreign secretary Dominic Raab will support the @ECHR_CEDH case

#BREAKING Russian opposition leader @navalny poisoned with #Novichok—same chemical weapon used on #Skripal in #Salisbury, UK—confirmed by German military lab. Berlin summoned Russia's ambassador; will confer w/ EU & NATO partners on appropriate response. dw.com/en/navalny-poi…
@navalny Recall Russian doctors treating #Navalny in Omsk acknowledged he'd been poisoned with a toxin dangerous to himself AND others. Then the grey suits arrived, and the doctors suddenly retracted, delaying @navalny leaving for Germany. Where #Novichok was confirmed nonetheless today.
@navalny Last time Russia was caught using nerve agent poison #novichok in the Skripal case, they responded by launching massive #disinformation campaigns against the UK lab, its scientists, and even the Russian scientist who admitted creating the chemical weapon in a Soviet military lab.
