The Navalny story now overtakes the Skripal saga in absurdity:
the Western narrative managers have decided to amuse us with exciting new versions of the poisoning, - the Times excells with a theory of a double Novichok attack!
The first attack is now tied to Novichok droplets squirted on his underwear, specifically on the elastic waistband.
IMAGINE: Novichok in your pants!
🤓🧐😳😮
Source: the idle speculations of a former Novichok scientist!
Yes, that is all it needs to make it into Western mainstream media, just anything said by a quotable "source", if sufficiently anti-Putin ...
Now, the second attack allegedly happened right in the Omsk hospital where Navalny lay in coma!!!!
At least according to security sources who got it from security sources .....
(This meagre paragraph is the whole text about the headline-producing second attack!)
With all such claims, you simply have to ask: how could they possibly know?
Well, they just can't. Neither British nor German intelligence have a way of knowing what the FSB does in the closed room of a Siberian hospital ....
Only Navalny's associates were there and could have noticed "suspicious activity" - of which we surely would have heard straightaway.
So, no surprise that Navalny himself is now very surprised by that strange article ....
🤪
The real news from this @thetimes article is how unhinged Western fabulists like Matthew Campbell have become, not even bothering any more to invent enough detail or consider the sheer absurdity of a second *failed* attempt with the most deadly poison ...
Paul Robinson: "The poisoned underwear stretches the elastic of the imagination so far as to be utterly incredible ... Many will decide that it doesn’t pass the sniff test, and that the whole Navalny story is a giant load of pants." rt.com/russia/509582-…
.... or has the Sunday Times article perhaps been planted by Russian intelligence?
Dedicated Russiagaters - take over!

In the @guardian article @martinchulov paints the image of the misunderstood humanitarian, preposterously even reporting "from the mind" of Le Mesurier ....
😇😂🙄
This is not journalism but an apologetic hagiography!
It's a short report on the 24th Session of the Conference of the States Parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention:
US, Canada, NL proposed to add *2* families of chemicals to the OPCW prohibited list (incl. the "Salisbury Novichok");
Russia proposed to add *5* groups!
In the end, a compromise was reached to put *four* new chemicals (or classes) on the list; - the Western states rejected the *fifth*, on the grounds it wasn't "consistent with the guidelines of the Convention" (!?!) - whatever that means ....
There we have it:
the German gov't referred to EU and NATO for a common response to the suspected poisoning of Alexey Navalny, and the European Parliament now passes a resolution calling for an international probe & suspension of Nord Stream 2!
The resolution has no legal bearing - it is pure political posturing intended to “continue to isolate Russia in international forums” & “to prioritize the approval of EU human rights sanctions”.
How can you call for an investigation - and already anticipate the results?
Meanwhile, the Navalny story is taking on a "Skripalesque" flavour:
now it is the bottle, left in his hotel room in Tomsk!
James Le Mesurier, founder of the #WhiteHelmets, was a criminal fraudster!
There were rumours of "financial irregularities" at Mayday Rescue after his death last November, - @volkskrant now presents an account based on an official inquiry:
In short: Le Mesurier faked receipts for funds designated for a rescue op - but used the $ 50,000 as bonus payments for himself, his wife, and a third administrator!
As the case was clear he admitted the fraud.
The Western governments supporting the WhiteHelmets try their best to hide, downplay and explain away the evident fraud, - apparently in order not to tarnish the brand .....
This is preposterous: the facts speak for themselves, and reveal a high level of criminal energy!
And yes! - including the incredible fable that after long online search they happened upon a photo of Russian officers one of whom "looked like" Boshirov ....
Everyone who has done similar searches knows you simply can't find an unknown person by using Google only from mediocre video screenshots.
Even if you have several decent quality photos you will come across look-alikes, sometimes astonishingly similar:
The Courage Foundation convened a panel about the OPCW-FFM report on Douma, including a former Director General of the OPCW and a member of the Douma investigation team from the @OPCW.
