@MaxBlumenthal @L_Gale517 @MaxAbrahms Interesting. @James__Harkin wrote an article on Douma for @theintercept , one which suggested an attack had occurred but was surrounded by much propaganda. @Dalatrm concurred and claimed the hospital scene were staged:-

@MaxBlumenthal @L_Gale517 @MaxAbrahms @James__Harkin @theintercept @Dalatrm 1) @James__Harkin also chaired the @cijournalism debate between @EliotHiggins and Professor Postol whilst @weizman_eyal & @ForensicArchi provided technical support to Higgins in that debate: hiddensyria.com/2020/03/06/for…

@MaxBlumenthal @L_Gale517 @MaxAbrahms @James__Harkin @theintercept @Dalatrm @cijournalism @EliotHiggins @weizman_eyal @ForensicArchi 2) @weizman_eyal is a director of both Forensic architecture and @cijournalism. …te.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/054713…

@MaxBlumenthal @L_Gale517 @MaxAbrahms @James__Harkin @theintercept @Dalatrm @cijournalism @EliotHiggins @weizman_eyal @ForensicArchi 3) Question, was Professor Postol made aware of the connection between Higgins, Weizman and Harkin prior to the debate? @PhilipWatson_ @2ndNewMoon. Was this debate and its organisation cleared by research ethics at @GoldsmithsUoL?

@MaxBlumenthal @L_Gale517 @MaxAbrahms @James__Harkin @theintercept @Dalatrm @cijournalism @EliotHiggins @weizman_eyal @ForensicArchi @PhilipWatson_ @2ndNewMoon @GoldsmithsUoL 4) Professor Postol, of course, was questioning whether alleged chemical weapon attacks had occurred in Syria. Higgins, Weizman and Harkin have all claimed that a chemical weapon attack did occur at Douma.

@MaxBlumenthal @L_Gale517 @MaxAbrahms @James__Harkin @theintercept @Dalatrm @cijournalism @EliotHiggins @weizman_eyal @ForensicArchi @PhilipWatson_ @2ndNewMoon @GoldsmithsUoL 6) and just last week someone in the OPCW leaked false information to @bellingcat in an attempt to smear an OPCW inspector and discredit the many people who have questioned what really happened at Douma:-

@MaxBlumenthal @L_Gale517 @MaxAbrahms @James__Harkin @theintercept @Dalatrm @cijournalism @EliotHiggins @weizman_eyal @ForensicArchi @PhilipWatson_ @2ndNewMoon @GoldsmithsUoL @bellingcat 7) of course, @bellingcat @ForensicArchi worked with the @nytimes to produce an 'investigation' of the alleged attack at Douma:- nytimes.com/interactive/20… claiming the attack had occurred well in advance of the final OPCW report. @malachybrowne @RobertMackey @jeremyscahill

@MaxBlumenthal @L_Gale517 @MaxAbrahms @James__Harkin @theintercept @Dalatrm @cijournalism @EliotHiggins @weizman_eyal @ForensicArchi @PhilipWatson_ @2ndNewMoon @GoldsmithsUoL @bellingcat @nytimes @malachybrowne @RobertMackey @jeremyscahill 8) the links between @bellingcat, @theintercept , @ForensicArchi are obviously of concern and suggest clear conflicts of interest, possible co-ordination, as well as an unscientific approach to claims making regarding the alleged attack at Douma. @Tim_Hayward_ @2ndNewMoon

@MaxBlumenthal @L_Gale517 @MaxAbrahms @James__Harkin @theintercept @Dalatrm @cijournalism @EliotHiggins @weizman_eyal @ForensicArchi @PhilipWatson_ @2ndNewMoon @GoldsmithsUoL @bellingcat @nytimes @malachybrowne @RobertMackey @jeremyscahill @Tim_Hayward_ 9) this is made all the more serious by the fact that we now know, from leaked toxicology reports, that these civilians were not killed by chlorine at location 2

@MaxBlumenthal @L_Gale517 @MaxAbrahms @James__Harkin @theintercept @Dalatrm @cijournalism @EliotHiggins @weizman_eyal @ForensicArchi @PhilipWatson_ @2ndNewMoon @GoldsmithsUoL @bellingcat @nytimes @malachybrowne @RobertMackey @jeremyscahill @Tim_Hayward_ 10) that and multiple other problems plague the claim that the Syrian government carried out a chlorine attack at that location: couragefound.org/2019/10/analyt…

@MaxBlumenthal @L_Gale517 @MaxAbrahms @James__Harkin @theintercept @Dalatrm @cijournalism @EliotHiggins @weizman_eyal @ForensicArchi @PhilipWatson_ @2ndNewMoon @GoldsmithsUoL @bellingcat @nytimes @malachybrowne @RobertMackey @jeremyscahill @Tim_Hayward_ 11) Involvement, witting or unwitting, in the cover up of a warcrime runs legal risks. This presentation, at the invite of the late Julian Perry Robinson, leading expert on chem/biological weapons, assesses the evidence w.r.t. how these civilians died. syriapropagandamedia.org/wp-content/upl…
