‘efforts to claim the Syrian gov. used chemical weapons against their own people in Douma is particularly pathetic. Like the phantom weapons of mass destruction from the Iraq War, whistleblowers from the OPCW have shown that the evidence was manipulated’ Clare Daley MEP

Mt Wood, @USAmbCD, you claim full confidence in the OPCW. Can you then answer the following questions:-
@Tim_Hayward_ @2ndNewMoon @McCormack_Tara
1) Why was an attempt made by an unknown OPCW official to publish a secretly modified interim report which had been manipulated so as to indicate Syrian government responsibility for #Douma? hitchensblog.mailonsunday.co.uk/2019/11/new-se… @SMaurizi @ClarkeMicah
2) Why did a US delegation go to meet the Douma FFM team, in violation of the Chemical Weapon Convention, and tell them what had happened at Douma? counterpunch.org/2019/11/15/the…

Once again the @bbc and @chloehadj are deceiving through omission with regard to the controversy over the @opcw investigation of the alleged chemical weapon attack in Syria. They fail to mention the following facts:-
1) As reported by @ClarkeMicah and @SMaurizi, the original interim report was secretly redacted, unknown to the inspection team, in an attempt to publish a report suggesting Syrian government guilt:- hitchensblog.mailonsunday.co.uk/2019/11/new-se…. The @BBC don't tell you about this.
2) Also omitted is the fact that the @couragefound panel, hearing testimony from an OPCW official, agreed there were serious scientific and procedural flaws with the @opcw investigation. Jose Bustani, the first Director General of the OPCW was a member:- couragefound.org/2019/10/opcw-p…

2021 and the US is illegally bombing Syria again:- That's 20 years now of the 9/11 Global 'war on terror'. Here is Tony Blair and George Bush discussing back in Autumn 2001, just after 9/11, how to take out Saddam. ImageImage
1) And here they discuss the matter of when to attack Iraq, Syria and Iran. ImageImage
2) And here is General Wesley Clark discussing the wide-ranging 'regime-change' war ending with Iran:-

Perhaps the reason, @richardhrbenyon, that @dannythefink doe not mention Miller's work on alleged chemical weapon attacks in Syria is precisely because it cannot be dismissed as 'conspiracy theory' @HamishDBG @BristolUni:-
1) For example, the emergence of OPCW whistleblowers identifying serious procedural and scientific flaws regarding the OPCW FFM investigation of the alleged Douma attack:- couragefound.org/2019/10/analyt…
2) Reporting in 2019 by @ClarkeMicah and @SMaurizi
which details how the original interim report on Douma was secretly altered in an attempt to publish an interim report that suggested an attack had occurred:- hitchensblog.mailonsunday.co.uk/2019/11/new-se…

@OliverKamm persistently misleads the public with respect to the WGSPM's work on alleged chemical weapons attacks in Syria, presenting it as fringe 'pro-Assad conspiracy theory' @LawDavF @ProfPRogers @BristolUni @Tracking_Power @Tim_Hayward_ @BoardofDeputies
He achieves this deception by omitting key facts regarding the alleged chemical weapon attack in Douma, 2018, including:- syriapropagandamedia.org/update-on-the-…
1) the fact that others have raised questions regarding the alleged chemical weapon attack including UK military experts, for example here on @skynews: @aaronjmate @MaxBlumenthal @BoardofDeputies
