The issue here concerns attempts to attack and suppress the whistleblower scientists at the OPCW and academics researching alleged chemical weapon attacks in Syria @markcurtis30 @DCKennard @declassifiedUK
1) Several weeks back @declassifiedUK's parent publication published a piece of blatant propaganda regarding the OPCW, citing only a UK gov. linked source, dismissing legitimate questions as Russian propaganda and entirely ignoring the OPCW scientists whistleblowers 
2) Last week @PhilipWatson_ published an email from @ForensicArchi, directed by @weizman_eyal and who is a advisor to @declassifiedUK, confirming they had provided support to @eliothiggins/@bellingcat for the 'debate' with US professor Postol.
3) This debate was organised under the auspices of the centre for Investigative Journalism @cijournalism
and chaired by its director @James__Harkin. Here is a picture of Higgins bullying Postol during the debate.

4) The obvious conflict of interest here is that @weizman_eyal is director of @ForensicArchi
and a board member of @cijournalism (also a director as shown by companies house records)
and a board member of @cijournalism (also a director as shown by companies house records)
5) So, both @weizman_eyal and @James__Harkin exploited their research entities @cijournalism and @ForensicArchi
to support Higgins/Bellingcat in a public debate against Prof. Postol. The decks were stacked. Video of the 'debate' repays close examination

6) 2 other members of @declassifiedUK have been involved in attacking academics researching the alleged chemical attacks in Syria. @NafeezAhmed dismissed the work of Prof. McKeigue & also suggested doubts re Douma were Russian propaganda statecrime.org/data/2018/07/N…
7) @DCKennard has previously attempted to smear members of the WGSPM using the same tactic employed by @thetimes and @HuffPost suggesting the WG relied largely/only on @VanessaBeeley/@EvaKBartlett as sources. Kennard was forced to retract although still smearing @Tim_Hayward_
8) So, a series of legitimate questions can be asked about @declassifiedUK and its association with various drives to suppress the OPCW scientists who are telling the truth about Douma AND the scientists/academics who have been raising legitimate questions.
9) So that everyone is aware of the seriousness of any attempts, witting or unwitting, to suppress the truth about Douma, about 50 civilians were found dead at location 2. It is most likely they were murdered for the purposes of staging these scenes. See timhayward.wordpress.com/2020/02/01/hou…
10) Those involved with attacking scientists and academics and suppressing the whistleblowers are complicit in covering up a likely warcrime and are running/have run legal jeopardy as a result. @2ndNewMoon @Tim_Hayward_ @timand2037 @VanessaBeeley @EvaKBartlett
