A story to watch - echoes of the #SkripalPoisoning here...
.@metpoliceuk tells @NBCNews: Officers from the counter terrorism network are working jointly with colleagues from Wiltshire Police regarding the incident in Amesbury. As Wiltshire Police have stated, they are keeping an open mind as to the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Amesbury is about 10 miles from Salisbury, where former Russian spy Sergei #Skripal and his daughter Yulia were poisoned with the nerve agent Novichok in March.
BREAKING: British police say pair poisoned near Salisbury were exposed to Novichok - the same nerve agent behind the #skripalpoisoning
bbc.co.uk/news/uk-447196…
Police say the couple are both British nationals local to the area and that they are critically ill in hospital - the same hospital that treated the Skripals in Salisbury.
One hypothesis is that they were exposed to some discarded remnants of the batch used to poison the Skripals - a threat raised by @PhilipIngMBE back in March greyharemedia.com/clear-and-pres… #Novichok #Amesbury
BREAKING: UK Counter-Terrorism Police confirm the couple poisoned in Amesbury were exposed to the nerve agent Novichok after handling a contaminated item. Systematic searches are now under way at a number of sites in #Amesbury and nearby #Salisbury.
BREAKING: UK police have launched a murder investigation after the death of a woman exposed to the nerve agent #Novichok near Salisbury just over a week ago. The man taken ill at the same time is still in a critical condition in hospital. #SkripalPoisoning

Suspects in #SkripalsCase tell ⁦@RT_com⁩ that they had nothing to do with the poisoning and they just went to Salisbury to visit the cathedral #Russia #skripal #skripalpoisoning rt.com/news/438350-pe…
“Of course, we went there to see Stonehenge, Old Sarum, but we couldn’t do it because there was muddy slush everywhere. The town was covered by this slush. We got wet, took the nearest train and came back [to London].”
Funny, because there doesn’t seem to be any “slush” visible in these photos... #Skripal

BREAKING: British prosecutors say they believe they have enough evidence to charge two Russian nationals over the poisoning of Sergei & Yulia #Skripal in Salisbury in March. Their names are Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov #skripalpoisoning
Photos of suspects - their names believed to be aliases. Police say they travelled to UK from Moscow on March 2nd, went to Salisbury on 3rd & 4th (day of attack) and returned to Moscow that evening. Minute traces of novichok were found in their London hotel room. #skripals
Police say a counterfeit perfume bottle (Nina Ricci “Premier Jour”) was used to apply the novichok to the Skripals’ front door. One woman, Dawn Sturgess, later died and her partner was hospitalized after handling the bottle #skripalpoisoning

.@POTUS What the #DOJ #FBI #JTTF #DHS have done is to take the most "successful" tenets of various torture protocols & have deployed them here in the USA, thru #ThreatFusionCenters.

#DOJ #DHS #JTTF put out CONTRACTS to have innocent Americans targeted with Orwellian #terrorism
2) What #DOJ refers to as #TheProgram is in reality not a #CounterIntelligence Program (#COINTELPRO) but rather a counter-terrorism program in which #terrorist tactics r used against the targets; i.e. anyone who has been put on the shitlist by rogue feds/LE. This is #terrorism.

(1) #DHS & #FBI r running an illegal counter-terrorism protocol against innocent Americans thru #ThreatFusionCenters

They utilize #terror cells called #PrivateIntelAgencies, which employ #SurveillanceRolePlayers, vigilante citizens & criminals ro #stalk & terrorize soft targets.
(2) Unfortunately, federally-funded state & local law enforcement agencies - such as the @FairfaxCountyPD and militarized #EMS & Firefighters (referred to as #TerrorismLiaisonOfficers by #DOJ) work in coordination with these groups which r engaged in #terrorism on US soil.
(3) #DHS #FBI #JTTF will flood a soft target's workplace w/ hundreds of agents provocateurs whose goal is to covertly harass the victim in public as local police and #JTTF augment the targeting with vicious smear campaigns designed to isolate the individual from family & friends

WTC 7.
Only steel skyscraper to ever fall due to fire. It wasn't hit by anything and collapsed upon itself.
What was in 7?
A secret CIA office in which the officers worked on counter-terrorism for the NY area. Working w. the FBI, headed by Mueller.

Must watch vid:
"Lot of eye-witness testimony talking abt explosions."
"That didn't sound like just a building falling down."
"No reason for that building to fall down.."

Turn the speakers up. You can hear the explosion for yourself.

About that CIA office in WTC 7.
It was responsible for investigating who?
OBL.
It is a fact that the CIA funded OBL.
OBL's family in US @ time of attack.
G H Bush met w/ OBL brother 1 day before attack.
1 plane on 9/11 allowed to leave. OBL's family.

1/x So the following #thread breaks down a story unfolding in #Germany in the last days, which as become too strange and awfully relevant, as not to bother you all with it. It quickly turned into a political-legal-media-#XRW shitshow with quite many angles.
2/x So what happened? A week ago a tv crew from a public media station wanted to film during a #PEGIDA rally in Saxony. Yes, they still exist but rarely hit the national news anymore. As they filmed some participants, one if them started to verbally assault the crew.
3/x He claimed that filming him without consent would be a crime. He went to bystanding police officers and complained. That in turn led the police to hold the press team for about 45 minutes. The reason for that is still debated.

After 70 years of imperial/neoliberal indoctrination the web of lies is so obviously absurde (9/11, Skripal, WH = ISIS, etc.), that it is dissoluting. The empathetic humanity connects, closes ranks and sends their eternal psychopathic rulers and their lackeys into nowhere land.
The "evil empire" is a lifelong three year old child. I certainly loved my children at that age too, however only because they created not only a surreal mess, but also made steady progress.

A great documentary about psychopathy and society:
The elite invented "democracy" to protect them from the empathetic people. The media are their means for misleading the people sedated by "democracy". This is definitely a bad thing since the people have become educated and the elite almost totally insane.
