20) This is why many eminent individuals have called for transparency and accountability at the OPCW:- couragefound.org/wp-content/upl…
21) These include Professor Noam Chomsky thegrayzone.com/2020/10/20/cho… @aaronjmate @MaxBlumenthal
22) And Jose Bustani himself, the first director General of the OPCW, whose voice was heard even though the US, UK and France tried to silence him at the UN Security Council
@Tim_Hayward_ @GeorgeMonbiot @2ndNewMoon @VanessaBeeley @esvanana
23) It is entirely within the power of the OPW to resolve this crisis. It can allow all of the Douma inspectors to be heard and all of the outstanding scientific flaws to be resolved through transparent and rigorous scientific scrutiny. couragefound.org/2019/10/analyt…
24) It can disclose its 'expert ballistics' assertions regarding the damage to the cylinders and subject them to proper peer review
25) It can disclose who was responsible for writing the Final report and explain why the clear advice of NATO toxicologists was obfuscated (see tweets 4 and 5 in this thread)
26) The @opcw can also explain why the original interim report was secretly altered and who was responsible for this act of subterfuge (see tweet 9 in this thread)
27) The @opcw can also resolve why key witness testimony that an attack did not occur was, as with so many other things, buried come the Final Report.
28) And the @opcw can address why individuals within its organisation are leaking disinformation to state-sponsored propaganda outlets such as @bellingcat thegrayzone.com/2020/10/28/dra…
29) Suppression of evidence, allowing the smearing of its best scientists and working to obfuscate the truth behind what happened at Douma is entirely incompatible with the @opcw's role in helping secure international piece and security. And it denies justice for these victims.

In episode 7, the @bbc series 'Mayday' actually obfuscates key evidence with respect to the alleged chemical attack in Douma, 2018, which has been the focus of research by syriapropagandamedia.org. @chloehadj @ruskin147 @Tim_Hayward_ Some facts:-
1) When requested by Professor Paul McKeigue to ask whether Raed Saleh of the White Helmets knew the burial location of the Douma victims, @chloehadj evaded as can be seen here:- syriapropagandamedia.org/public-stateme…
2) bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0… fails to address the fact that BBC producer @Dalatrm has stated, repeatedly, that the hospital scenes at Douma were staged @bbclysedoucet @NikGowing @BreesAnna @cerumol

@2ndNewMoon @ClarkeMicah @bellingcat @LapCat @aaronjmate @bbclysedoucet @NikGowing @OborneTweets @PeterCronau @TulsiGabbard @SusanSarandon @Tim_Hayward_ @PhilipWatson_ 1) @bellingcat were caught deleting a tweet which confirmed the cylinder at location 2 was manipulated by activists/SCD shortly after the alleged attack. See @MichaKobs discussion here
@2ndNewMoon @ClarkeMicah @bellingcat @LapCat @aaronjmate @bbclysedoucet @NikGowing @OborneTweets @PeterCronau @TulsiGabbard @SusanSarandon @Tim_Hayward_ @PhilipWatson_ @MichaKobs 2) the deleted tweet confirms that the cylinder was rotated through 180 degrees, so that a small dent in the cylinder lined up with a steel bar in the roof and tilting the cylinder so that the nozzle was pointing into a hole in the roof.

@georgemonbiot 's accusation of atrocity denial and truth distortion' by @ClarkeMicah is misleading. In fact, it is Monbiot who has consistently ignored extensive evidence that challenges his beliefs regarding alleged chemical weapon attacks in Syria. This evidence includes:-
1) the @couragefound panel which heard testimony from an OPCW official regarding procedural and scientific fraud during the @opcw 's investigation of the alleged chlorine chemical weapon attack in Douma, 2018:- couragefound.org/2019/10/opcw-p… @Tim_Hayward_ @2ndNewMoon
2) Leaked documents have confirmed that OPCW inspectors had their analyses censored and suppressed in order to ensure the final report reached a 'preordained conclusion' wikileaks.org/opcw-douma/#OP…

@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…

A key question now concerns why individuals within the OPCW are leaking false information designed to smear one of their inspectors? And why is this being leaked to @bellingcat, a state-sponsored propaganda outlet? @RealDeeptiC @ClarkeMicah @PeterCronau @johnpilger @SMaurizi
1) We know from @MichaKobs' investigation that @bellingcat were in communication with individuals manipulating a yellow cylinder at location 2 in Douma:-
2) Remarkably, this manipulation involved the rotation of the cylinder through 180 degrees, lining up a dent with a rebar, and then tilting it so that the nozzle is pointing into the hole.

Rather than addressing substantive issues raised by many regarding their investigation of the alleged chemical weapon attack in Douma, Syria, the @opcw has responded by leaking a letter from its DG, Fernando Arias, & revealing the identify of one of its scientists. @RealDeeptiC
1) Remarkably the @opcw has chosen to leak this information to @bellingcat, a well-known state sponsored propaganda outlet. Interestingly @bellingcat was in communication with individuals manipulating the alleged crime scene at location 2 in Douma:
2)@EliotHiggins is well known for his abusive behaviour whilst @bellingcat conspired with @ForensicArchi and @cijournalism to rig a public debate between Higgins and eminent US scientist Ted Postol (report forthcoming) @James__Harkin @weizman_eyal see also hiddensyria.com/2020/03/06/for…
