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.
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…
@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:-
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…
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:
