20 years after the 9/11 attacks, the results of my modest Twitter poll show 72% of respondents do not believe the US govt account of 9/11 at all, while 92% believe it is at least partially false. I wonder what the consensus on the least believable element of the story might be.

One element that was met with scepticism even as it was reported live by CNN anchorman Garrick Utley was the news that a hijacker's passport had been recovered from the rubble of the Twin Towers' destruction. "If you can believe that" was certainly not on Utley's teleprompter.

Much scepticism has focused on the collapse of WTC7, the third tower that was destroyed in NYC on 9/11. This is because it was not hit by an airliner but suddenly fell that afternoon at the rate of gravitational acceleration, showing strong resemblance to a controlled demolition.

@dankaszeta

@dankaszeta omitted significant facts and distorted aspects of the #Skripal case in his recent talk for @edskeptics, as I will show in this thread.

Kaszeta's talk is here. It's over an hour long but I'll give ~time reference points with my remarks.

1/25

Kaszeta blocked me on Twitter long ago.

This was after I asked him how it was possible that two people as physically different as Sergei and Yulia #Skripal could be *almost simultaneously overcome* by the effects of a nerve agent they had allegedly touched hours before.

2/25

@edskeptics

After I blocked Kaszeta back (as I do with all who block me) he tried to claim I'd blocked him first!

That's the self-described "king of nerve agent Twitter".

Ah well.

Apart from listening to his @edskeptics talk, I also looked at his book, 'Toxic'.

Let's get started.

#SKRIPAL TIMELINE REDUX (thread)

I've previously made a short timeline of what we're told happened to the #Skripals on the day they were poisoned (Sunday, Mar 4 2018) using only official/MSM sources. This is an expanded version, again focused on the day of the poisoning. 1/43

Sources are [numbered] and listed at the end of the thread. I have added some sourced *comments and used brackets <where the exact point in the timeline is unclear from the sources>. 2/43

9:15 #Skripal's red BMW is seen in #Salisbury in the area of London Road [1]. It is reported Sergei and Yulia were going to visit the graves of Sergei’s wife and son: Yulia’s mother and brother. 4/43

The timeline of the #Skripals' movements on the day they were poisoned (Sun, Mar 4 2018) isn't clear. Did they go to the pub and then for a meal, or the other way around? Maybe it doesn't matter.

But here's what we know according to the official account, with rough timings. 1/6

12.30pm: Two Russian agents walk up to Sergei Skripal's front door in broad daylight on a Sunday lunchtime while he & Yulia are at home, and spray it with one of the deadliest nerve agents known to man using a specially adapted perfume bottle. They then head into Salisbury... 2/6

...and are later captured on CCTV in town, shopping.

13.30: Sergei and Yulia leave the house, both touching the front door and so becoming exposed to a nerve agent said to be eight times more lethal than VX, which kills in minutes.

13.45: The Skripals are seen on CCTV... 3/6

@JimmySecUK

1/5 Hey @JimmySecUK I'm unblocking @DanKaszeta. If he unblocks me I'd challenge him to answer four questions.

How could two physiologically very different people (old man, young woman) collapse almost simultaneously, hours after alleged exposure to "military grade nerve agent"?

2/5 The medics who treated the Skripals told the BBC they didn't suspect/treat for nerve agent poisoning for 36hrs+, and just gave them generic care for overdose. But the Skripals had significant exposure to an agent allegedly far more lethal even than VX.

How did they survive?

3/5 In one of his articles, Kaszeta writes: "It is clear the Skripals received serious and relevant medical interventions." Isn't this "relevance" a lie or omission if, as they said, the medics treating them didn't suspect nerve agent poisoning for 36hrs+?

@EliotHiggins

@EliotHiggins @rossathome @Agent_Hodgo @bellingcat @DanKaszeta @medialens This entire article is based on the false assumption that the #Skripals received swift diagnosis/treatment for nerve agent. THEY DID NOT -- for at least 36hrs, according to their doctors. The dose was also considerable, given the state they were found in. politics.co.uk/comment-analys…

@EliotHiggins

@EliotHiggins @rossathome @Agent_Hodgo @bellingcat @DanKaszeta @medialens "It is clear that the #Skripals and the police constable received serious and relevant medical interventions" -- this is a lie of omission, as the medics told the BBC that nerve agent was not suspected until DCI Bailey arrived at Salisbury A&E, more than a day after the Skripals.

@EliotHiggins

@EliotHiggins @rossathome @Agent_Hodgo @bellingcat @DanKaszeta @medialens "NHS ambulance services and hospital A&E services have been worrying about chemical terrorism for decades now" -- this is another lie of omission, which again does not take into account the fact that the medics in this case were not initially worried about nerve agent at all.
