Today sees the start of The Twenty-Fifth Session of the Conference of States Parties #CSP25
We will once again see science & the reports of the OPCW's own scientists ( wikileaks.org/opcw-douma/doc…) being ridden over roughshod in the interests of the US/UK led war party.

Consensus will be abandoned as the US, UK & allies, (a minority of the world's population but a majority of the states in the OPCW) use the #CSP25 for geo-political goals, based on the suppression of the scientific evidence of their own complicity in Syrian chemical attacks.

The focus of the US/UK group will be condemnation of Syria & Russia & pretence the OPCW Technical Secretariat remains a credible body after the Douma cover-up. Russia will argue for a return to consensus & the banning of white phosphorus as a weapon.

The USA has still failed to destroy its stockpile of chemical weapons, has threatened OPCW staff & used intelligence agents to influence the Syria investigation, but it will be Syria, which the OPCW certified as having destroyed its stockpile, which is facing suspension.

Detailed analysis of the Douma incident, which indicates chemical attacks in Syria were likely organised to support the US/UK regime-change effort, can be found here: syriapropagandamedia.org/update-on-the-…

Analysis of the earlier Khan Sheikhoun incident can be found here:

In both Douma & Khan Sheikhoun & other incidents, analysis of the crime scenes points to staging with the support of outside intelligence agencies & this is likely the main motivation for the undermining of the @OPCW as a independent, scientific body.
