The organization that censored its own investigation and scientists in the April 2018 Douma probe wants us to pretend that it has any credibility to weigh in on others, and isn't being directed by the exact same imperatives behind the unaddressed Douma cover-up:

Unsurprisingly, @OPCW misrepresents its report: "IIT concludes that units of the Syrian Arab Air Force used chemical weapons in Saraqib." No, IIT -- just like w/ Douma -- uses the cowardly "reasonable grounds" qualifier. Why? They want to suggest guilt without having to prove it. 
As dissenting OPCW insiders wrote about last IIT report: "Perhaps to the credit of IIT members who argued against more definitive, stronger language in their report, what the IIT produced was the desired Western opinion about what could have happened..." thegrayzone.com/2020/04/28/opc…
"Weak language stating that 'there are reasonable grounds to believe' the official story, it could be argued, actually implies a 50/50 case in which there are similarly reasonable grounds 'not to believe' it."
OPCW IIT did not visit Syria for this "investigation", after OPCW was caught censoring the Douma probe. IIT instead relied on the same Syria opposition & NATO state-tied pipeline of dubious "evidence" & fake "experts." OPCW insiders addressed this too: thegrayzone.com/2020/04/28/opc…
Oops: @EliotHiggins & @Bellingcat failed to coordinate w/ their OPCW partners.
OPCW's IIT report explicitly contradicts Bellingcat's junk science claim about "Chlorine's Unique Fingerprints."
IIT acknowledges the "absence of truly unique environmental markers for chlorine." 😬

Sorry @iridium_tea, looks like your ability to "comment authoritatively" on chemical weapons chemistry -- as opposed to the veteran OPCW chemist who conducted the chemical weapons probe -- just took another hit. All due respect to your Rutgers grad school program, of course. 😂
Background: @EliotHiggins & Bellingcat once bragged that they "partner" w/ OPCW. When that became too embarrassing for the latter, Eliot suddenly declared that it was all an error; the result of a mistaken copy & paste from "another document." Somehow, OPCW was the lone "error."
