@OPCW A look back how we got here:
Saraquib 4/29/2013: One of the first Sarin attacks allegedly by the SyAAF was carried out with plastic grenades, which were seen only days before in the hands of Al-Nusra in a Turkish-Syrian border town, where these fighters were trained + equipped.

@OPCW The filmed symptoms did not look like sarin, and an initial autopsy of the only fatality initially yielded nothing, although the Turkish laboratories searched specifically for sarin. Only a second autopsy revealed traces of sarin and the explanation was questionable.

@OPCW The only 'conclusive' evidence finally came from the French secret service, which received a (after 3000m fall) undamaged grenade from Al-Nusra. Unfortunately the x-ray shows that the fuse mechanism of this allegedly sarin-filled grenade was replaced.

@OPCW Ghouta 8/21 2013:
The FFM report explicitly stated that the missile at Location 4 was well measurable and pointed with good accuracy to the missile's launch site.

@OPCW Oddly enough, the angle given in the report was obviously wrong, but pointed just as obviously to a barracks of the Syrian National Guard, which was immediately propagandistically exploited by HRW. docdro.id/t7cVSc6

@OPCW This was followed by a series of alleged chemical weapons attacks, which were generally too absurd and therefore received little attention, such as this powdered chlorine gas:

@OPCW Kafr Zita 4/11 2014:
Human Rights Watch (HRW) believes it sees a green tinge in rising smoke and is writing a report on the use of chlorine gas.

@OPCW The alleged chlorine attack gained international attention. Weapons experts such as Lloyd and Postol tinkered unsuccessfully with a variant of this bomb that wouldn't burn the chlorine, because - what HRW concealed - it was undoubtedly an HE bomb that left identifyable damage.

@OPCW The next phase of chemical weapons was introduced with a rusted and perforated coolant cylinder, which could not possibly have contained any gas under pressure.

@OPCW A little later pink puddles and such R22-cylinders were found everywhere in Syria. The OPCW did not question this design, but until today did not provide a plausible chemical reaction that produces a lethal weapon from the coolant and potassium permanganate.

@OPCW Sarmin 3/16 2015: At the height of these alleged R22 bombs, the OPCW falsified the size of a ventilation shaft through which one of these bombs is said to have fallen. According to the report, the bomb had a diameter of 1-1.5 meters.

@OPCW So the OPCW made the shaft 1.5 metres wide and 3 metres long. However, as satellite images show, the shaft was only 0.75 meters wide and therefore too narrow.

@OPCW Probably it was not part of the OPCW's mandate to ask why the doctors in the hospital did not lift a finger, gave interviews, stood around and only reached into the picture from behind the camera when the body of a girl threatened to fall off the bed.

@OPCW This video was shown to the UN one month later to the day and moved Samatha Power to tears. Of course, no one in the audience had any idea that the girls were almost certainly already dead and that the doctors watched invisible from behind the camera.

@OPCW But no matter how contradictory an alleged CW attack was, the OPCW always accepted the alleged evidence (against the Syrian gov't only ). Among them were bombs whose backward valve had broken off in spite of a steel casing, although the det cord had obviously not exploded.

@OPCW We saw rising yellow clouds presented by a british 'expert' and gas masks seller as chlorine promoted by the BBC or by HRW and other NGOs.

@OPCW We saw valveless cylinders sometimes the same cylinder in different locations listed as two different attacks.

@OPCW We saw absurd mechanical deformation accepted / neglected by the OPCW even if these deformed cylinders were also valveless. One of those cylinders was even sealed by some pink plastic over a broken valve without causing the OPCW to think twice.

@OPCW And those cylinders allegedly caused sarin symptoms reported by the OPCW. Also the soil samples included sarin degradation products even if these valveless cylinders cannot distribute sarin at all. ... No alarm bells rang at the OPCW. They wrote an accepting report instead.

@OPCW The OPCW also accepted these rockets as evidence of a chemical attack. However, the scratches in the light brown color of the rocket motor prove that the rocket has been used before and that the fin ring slid forward due to the inertia when it hit the ground.

@OPCW Even brand new screws and closed detonator ports left no doubt at the OPCW. But what should the detonators have ignited? Liquid chlorine is not flammable.

@OPCW We saw a self-cleaning street in Khan Sheikhoun and a stange hole in the allegedly most contaminated area. The OPCW used that hole to debunk the warehouse theory of the Syrian gov't but wasn't astonished by the missing sarin.

@OPCW In their official Douma report, the OPCW accepted a number of inconsistencies and defamed their own experts, while unknown supposed experts wrote down incredible nonsense. e.g. here the visualization refutes what is written next to the picture.

@OPCW This cylinder cannot bounce. ... and a cylinder cannot deform if the surrounding ring is not deformed. And this frontring is not deformed, while the cylinder is flattened to below the front ring.
In addition we see a valve that allegedly cut through concrete.

@OPCW And so it happens that we now have an OPCW decision that - for example - is based on an alleged March 24 sarin attack. Nobody reported, there is no photo, no evidence, nothing at all.

@OPCW Numerous interviews were carried out in the following days and nobody mentioned a sarin attack. Eliot Higgins had predicted a massacre, but nothing of the sort happened.

@OPCW Instead, the OPCW simply reinterpreted some metal parts from (for all I know) a different location.

And there we are now and this OPCW wants to visit Al Shayrath.
