1/#Wikileaks has just released more #OPCW documents regarding the alleged (and increasingly dubious) “chemical weapons attack” in #Douma, Syria, in April 2018. Let’s take a look at a few of the important takeaways concerning a meeting between OPCW officials and 4 toxicologists:
2/ “...the experts were CONCLUSIVE in their statements that there was no correlation between symptoms and chlorine exposure.”(emphasis mine). This was from June 2018, and yet the later-published public reports in no way reflect the conclusions of the consulted experts.
3/ Although they were only being consulted for their expertise in toxicology, the team was compelled to speculate on “two possibilities that included on the one hand a real chemical attack and on the other, the possibility of the event being a propaganda exercise.”
4/ Why might one be driven to speculate? “The experts were of the opinion that it was highly unlikely that the victims would have gathered in piles at the centre of the respective apartments at such a short distance from an escape from any toxic chlorine gas to cleaner air.”
5/ And, regarding point above (4), see this commentary on @Wikileaks’s previous OPCW document drop:
6/And “all” the #OPCW members present at the meeting accepted the conclusions of the toxicologists: “the key “take-away message” from the meeting was that the symptoms observed were inconsistent with exposure to chlorine”. No wonder all of this whistle-blowing is happening! (End)
