The US, UK and French governments have repeatedly sort to prevent objective and rigorous @opcw investigations of the alleged chemical attacks in Syria @MaryLouMcDonald @RonanLTynan.
1) At the @couragefound attended by Jose Bustani, the 1st DG of the #OPCW, an OPCW official reported procedural and scientific flaws with respect to the alleged Douma chemical weapon attack. couragefound.org/2019/10/analyt…
2) Since then a significant volume of leaked documents have corroborated the issues raised at the @couragefoundation panel wikileaks.org/opcw-douma/#OP…
3) For example, it is now documented that the original interim report on Douma was secretly altered by an unknown OPCW official in order to create the misleading impression that the alleged attack had occurred. @LenP91535865 @samibarrek @RobertF40396660
4) This act of subterfuge was reported to the OPCW's Chief of Cabinet Robert Fairweather who simply ignored it, and has now been reported to the UNSC and also covered by UK journalist @ClarkeMicah hitchensblog.mailonsunday.co.uk/2019/11/new-se…
5) It has also been confirmed through documentation that the toxicology report from NATO chemical warfare experts was obfuscated in the Final OPCW Report. The toxicologists confirmed that the victims found in Douma had not been killed by chlorine gas, as alleged. @Tim_Hayward_
6) The procedural and scientific flaws are transparent and now Jose Bustani and Noam Chomsky have made clear public statements requesting accountability and transparency at the OPCW, primarily by allowing all of the Douma FFM inspection team to be heard.
7) As was the case with the fraudulent 2003 Iraq invasion, the independence of the @opcw has been corrupted by countries pursuing a regime-change policy. As Professor Sachs has pointed out, this policy has led to vast loss of life: @SenatorMcDowell
8) Detailed technical reports regarding the various issues relating to the OPCW FFM investigations can be found here. Further reports and information will be published in 2021. syriapropagandamedia.org/how-the-opcws-… @SenatorMcDowell

@jessbrammar How do you reconcile your relentless smear campaign against academics researching alleged chemical weapon attacks in Syria with the following facts?:- @ruskin147 @Tim_Hayward_
1) The late Julian Perry Robinson, leading expert on chemical and biological weapons, supported the work of the academics: nature.com/articles/d4158…
2) He invited Professor Paul McKeigue to present at the Harvard-Sussex prog. on chemical and biological weapons in March 2020: syriapropagandamedia.org/wp-content/upl…. off-guardian.org/2020/10/06/the…

Dear @ManveenRana, could you also put the following questions to your colleague @oliverkamm:-
1) It appears from this that the late James Le Mesurier was in communication with Kamm. Did he make contact out of the blue, or did someone else put him in touch with @oliverkamm?
2) Had Le Mesurier or one of his associates already communicated with Kamm when he instigated The Times's attack on "Apologists for Assad working in British universities" in April 2018? @haynesdeborah @TimesKennedy @georgiekeate @Tim_Hayward_ @McCormack_Tara

Dear @theywoodwright and @chloehadj, you insinuate that @wikileaks paid money to 'Alex'. This is a very serious charge to be suggesting. Before broadcasting, did you check with WL that any money had been paid out? @khrafnsson @ClarkeMicah @bbclysedoucet @nikgowing @Tim_Hayward_
1) You also claim that 'reading the OPCW report, it's clear that the inspectors took the idea that the attack might have been faked very seriously. They discussed it as a scenario and tested their evidence against that possibility." Can you evidence this?
2) This is imp. because it was actually the original unpublished interim report and the toxicology minutes from the meeting with NATO chemical weapons experts that specified alternative hypotheses, whereas the published reports did not. wikileaks.org/opcw-douma/doc…

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

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.
