@ryangrim There are multiple toxicology related issues plus issues with the various claims about events at Location 2 and the hospital which remain *highly* problematic. I'll spell them out for you.
1) the NATO toxicologists consulted in June agreed with the Douma team that the immediate onset of pulmonary oedema symptom of frothing was not consistent with chlorine. wikileaks.org/opcw-douma/doc…
2) These victims would not have died on the spot, gathering in piles, and then produce foaming at the mouth. This finding was clearly spelled out in the original report but expunged, with no explanation, in the final report. wikileaks.org/opcw-douma/doc…
3) A further issue identified in the original report but expunged from the final report concerned how unlikely it appeared for there to have been any build up of gas sufficient to kill the victims almost instantaneously.
4) The original report discussed how it was considered highly unlikely that concentrations could have built up either in the building, where windows on each floor were all shattered, or in the basement
5) In fact, as set out in the original interim report, many witnesses claimed that large numbers of people died in the basement, even though no plausible explanation could be found as to how concentrations would have built up there.
6) It is also notable that some so-called 'Country X witnesses' reported some symptoms only associated with a nerve agent when, in fact no traces of nerve agents were ever found. @CL4Syr@MichaKobs
7) Other important findings, highlighted in the original interim report but left unresolved or obfuscated in the final report, concern the authenticity of some of the observed foam and the 're-positioning' bodies throughout the night of 7/8 April.
10) These hospital scenes are generally reported as occurring circa 7pm. The alleged attack times are vary between 7 pm and some are as late as 8.30. Unless we believe those staging the hospital scenes anticipated an incoming chemical attack, questions are then raised about Loc2.
11) Here it is also worth while noting that a man at location 2 is also identified at the hospital scenes, taking photographs at both:-
12) Given these substantial issues, plus the ballistics noted elsewhere in this thread, and there are many more document here berlingroup21.org/background, it is an eminently reasonable request that the @opcw now allow *all* the douma inspectors to meet and review the investigation.

One key factor behind the #PaulMason operation to shut down critical voices is the @opcw whistleblower scandal and the alleged chemical weapons attacks in Syria. ukcolumn.org/article/the-wh… @KitKlarenberg @aaronjmate @MaxBlumenthal x.com/TheGrayzoneNew…
1) When UK academics & independent journalists (@VanessaBeeley) questioned claims about the alleged Douma chemical attack in Syria, 2018, a smear campaign was initiated. ukcolumn.org/article/attack…
2) Then, when @opcw whistleblower scientists emerged in 2019/20 to vindicate the academics, this campaign intensified and extended to attempts to discredit the scientists themselves: berlingroup21.org/front-matter-a…
For all those champing at the bit for war against #Iran, I suppose this all needs spelling out: 1) Afghanistan 2001, US-backed 'opposition groups' overthrow the Taliban leading to two decades of war: costsofwar.watson.brown.edu/paper/human-co…x.com/PiersRobinson1…
2) Iraq 2003, US abandons Blair's 'subtle' approach suggestions and moves straight to the full-scale invasion option, again leading to years of war and conflict. intellectdiscover.com/content/journa…
3) Come 2011, NATO's 'humanitarian intervention' in Libya enables the overthrow of the government, leading to years of chaos and violence. thedailyeconomy.org/article/the-un…
Western war propaganda works by projecting its own criminality onto external 'threats' in order to demonise them. We see this time and time again – for example, with Maduro, Putin, Assad, Saddam, and Gaddafi. researchgate.net/publication/36…' x.com/SecRubio/statu…
1) In reality, it is our own governments that are responsible for the bulk of warmongering and criminality. The current series of wars are traceable to 9/11, itself a false flag operation with the culprits hiding in plain sight: @KevinRyan911 @ic911justiceic911.org/books-and-seri…
2) The 2003 invasion of Iraq was a flagrant violation of international law with millions killed, injured or displaced. The principal deception revolved around the fabricated WMD allegations. academic.oup.com/psq/article/12…
Problematic @netflix doc. because the topics promoted lie largely within the sphere of legit. controversy (Hallin), @ggreenwald. Achieved via deceptive editing (@aaronjmate) that pushes the Syria CW issue into the sphere of deviance. Unfortunate ... 🧵 x.com/aaronjmate/sta…x.com/ggreenwald/sta…
1) because there is overwhelming evidence, beyond Hersh's reporting @laurapoitras, that points to the truth about Ghouta 2013. e.g. there was no discernible motive for the Syrian government to initiate the attack. Even the UK's JIC admitted this: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5a7c2d41…
2) The attack occurred within days of a joint @opcw-UK mission arriving in Damascus and which had been initiated at the request of the *Syrian government* following the 19 March 2013 Khan al Asal nerve agent attack on its soldiers. @ukcolumn ukcolumn.org/article/the-ev…
1) There is, in additional to Hersh's reporting, overwhelming evidence the event was instigated by opposition groups working in tandem with Western, Turkish and Israeli intelligence. For an overview, a good place to start is here @ukcolumnukcolumn.org/article/the-ev…
British official inquiries exist to cover up the truth. As the airwaves fill with state-sanctioned propaganda, check out @timtron2020's articles in @PropagandaFocus about the Salisbury/Novichok deception.#skripals @ukcolumn @CraigMurrayOrg @21WIREpropagandainfocus.com/how-did-the-sk…
