Guardian fabulator Luke Harding writes a ridiculous puff piece about Bellingcat and their alleged "search" for the alleged Skripal assassins:

theguardian.com/world/2020/jun…
And yes! - including the incredible fable that after long online search they happened upon a photo of Russian officers one of whom "looked like" Boshirov .... Image
Everyone who has done similar searches knows you simply can't find an unknown person by using Google only from mediocre video screenshots.

Even if you have several decent quality photos you will come across look-alikes, sometimes astonishingly similar:

In his typical fashion, Higgins even alleged he identified Chepiga by ear shape - plainly impossible when ears are barely visible in those photos ...

This thread explains why the information about Col. Chepiga and especially the passport photo - whether genuine or fabricated - must have been handed to Bellingcat prior to their search (most probably, at least indirectly, by UK secret services):

Higgins himself, in one of his famous loose talk moments, even admitted he received the crucial information before doing investigations ...🤦🤓

and yet, the preposterous fable about their miracle search keeps being repeated in mainstream media!

Harding reveals also that the results of the (similarly implausible) search for the alleged second Novichok assassin (Petrov/Mishkin) were presented at a press conference in the Houses of Parliament - "with leading representatives from the British and US media"! Image
So, the UK government actively promotes the investigations by an amateur outlet!?!
This wouldn't be done even for real journalism "in the national interest" by a prestigious media institution!

Unless, of course, to give inofficial confirmation :-)

And yet, fabulator Harding tries his best to paint the obvious, even admitted collaboration with UK officials in the background as Kremlin propaganda, - with the tired trope of this being an old Soviet trope! 🙄🤠 Image

#Navalny #Navalnychok

The Navalny story now overtakes the Skripal saga in absurdity:

the Western narrative managers have decided to amuse us with exciting new versions of the poisoning, - the Times excells with a theory of a double Novichok attack!

thetimes.co.uk/article/reveal…
The first attack is now tied to Novichok droplets squirted on his underwear, specifically on the elastic waistband.

IMAGINE: Novichok in your pants!
🤓🧐😳😮 Image
Source: the idle speculations of a former Novichok scientist!

Yes, that is all it needs to make it into Western mainstream media, just anything said by a quotable "source", if sufficiently anti-Putin ... Image

#WhiteHelmets
Operation "Whitewash Le Mesurier" has started, and Western journos show their enthusiasm for this criminal fraudster:
What we know about Le Mesurier:

In the @guardian article @martinchulov paints the image of the misunderstood humanitarian, preposterously even reporting "from the mind" of Le Mesurier ....
😇😂🙄

This is not journalism but an apologetic hagiography!

Is there a "fifth Novichok"?

An "American Novichok", as claimed by former member of the UN Commission on Biological and Chemical Weapons Igor Nikulin?

Yes - @collapse_into has found a confirming report:

vertic.org/wp-content/upl…
It's a short report on the 24th Session of the Conference of the States Parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention:

US, Canada, NL proposed to add *2* families of chemicals to the OPCW prohibited list (incl. the "Salisbury Novichok");

Russia proposed to add *5* groups! Image
In the end, a compromise was reached to put *four* new chemicals (or classes) on the list; - the Western states rejected the *fifth*, on the grounds it wasn't "consistent with the guidelines of the Convention" (!?!) - whatever that means .... Image

#Navalny

There we have it:
the German gov't referred to EU and NATO for a common response to the suspected poisoning of Alexey Navalny, and the European Parliament now passes a resolution calling for an international probe & suspension of Nord Stream 2!

rt.com/russia/500929-… Image
The resolution has no legal bearing - it is pure political posturing intended to “continue to isolate Russia in international forums” & “to prioritize the approval of EU human rights sanctions”.

How can you call for an investigation - and already anticipate the results?
Meanwhile, the Navalny story is taking on a "Skripalesque" flavour:
now it is the bottle, left in his hotel room in Tomsk!

James Le Mesurier, founder of the #WhiteHelmets, was a criminal fraudster!

There were rumours of "financial irregularities" at Mayday Rescue after his death last November, - @volkskrant now presents an account based on an official inquiry:

volkskrant.nl/nieuws-achterg…
In short: Le Mesurier faked receipts for funds designated for a rescue op - but used the $ 50,000 as bonus payments for himself, his wife, and a third administrator!
As the case was clear he admitted the fraud.

Summary:
nltimes.nl/2020/07/17/dut… Image
The Western governments supporting the WhiteHelmets try their best to hide, downplay and explain away the evident fraud, - apparently in order not to tarnish the brand .....

This is preposterous: the facts speak for themselves, and reveal a high level of criminal energy! Image

A new round for #OPCWScandal:

The Courage Foundation convened a panel about the OPCW-FFM report on Douma, including a former Director General of the OPCW and a member of the Douma investigation team from the @OPCW.

couragefound.org/2019/10/opcw-p…
The findings are based on the whistleblower’s extensive presentation, including internal emails, text exchanges and suppressed draft reports:

=> Key information about chemical analyses, toxicology consultations, ballistics studies, and witness testimonies was suppressed!
The analytical points are the best summary of the relevant issues, and the fatal flaws, of the official @OPCW report that I have seen:
