If there is no evidence of a chemical attack in Douma, as OPCW scientists found before being censored, how did the victims die?
We don't know. But from new leaks, we do know that OPCW shunned forensic pathology, which could have helped solve the murders. thegrayzone.com/2021/12/06/cor…
There isn't only no evidence of a chemical attack; there's also ample evidence of a cover-up of the OPCW team that determined that. Plus ample open-source evidence of staging in Douma.
Those who whitewash the OPCW cover-up are ultimately whitewashing a massacre.
Even if you choose to ignore the leaks showing no evidence of a chemical attack & an extensive cover-up, no one disputes that the Douma hospital scene was staged.
This means that, per the official narrative, a chemical attack killed dozens -- & then the White Helmets staged a hospital scene just to make sure the world believed that. In what world do massacre witnesses film the crime scene & then decide to stage another scene, just in case?

New: In a Syria chemical weapons probe, the OPCW shunned the investigative area of forensic pathology and censored a call to pursue it, leaks obtained by @TheGrayzoneNews reveal.
This is the second installment in a new series on the corruption of science in the OPCW's Douma probe. Part 1 is here: thegrayzone.com/2021/11/22/cor…
Forensic pathology — the study of the cause and manner of death — could have helped solve how dozens of civilians in Douma lost their lives. Instead, senior OPCW officials thwarted it and suppressed an internal recommendation that it be pursued.
I PayPal’ed a friend but committed the grave sin of typing the name of a Baddie Country™️. So now it’s under review until I explain why I typed such a heinous word as “Syria.”
I am lucky. I’ll be able to complete my transaction once I explain to PayPal’s watchdogs. Syrians actually living under barbaric US sanctions who want to buy medicine, or take international exams, or basically do any kind of transaction have no such recourse.
OPCW chief Arias has made false statements about the inspectors who challenged his org's Syria cover-up. He's also given fake excuses to avoid addressing the scientific fraud involved.

Contrast the new term for Arias to how the OPCW treated the last Director General who actually challenged a US-led deception: when Jose Bustani stood up to the Bush admin on Iraq, they threatened him, bugged his office, & engineered his ouster:
Nearly 20 years after his ouster, Bustani tried to speak at the UN in defense of the OPCW whistleblowers. The US and allies responded by blocking his testimony: thegrayzone.com/2020/10/05/ex-…
Happy Anniversary to @lukeharding1968, @KathViner, and the Guardian. The day you decided to confirm to the world that you have zero journalism standards.
To save face as Steele implodes, @lukeharding1968 now claims that Mueller "noted that there were multiple contacts in 2016 between Russian spies and Trump aides."
In July, Luke claimed to have obtained “secret Kremlin papers” showing Putin personally authorizing a campaign to install Trump. It was such a transparent scam — likely tracing back to Christopher Steele — that even MSNBC ignored it. mate.substack.com/p/luke-harding…
New: The US media's Russiagate reckoning goes far beyond the Steele dossier. Here's a list of five Pulitzer winners from the New York Times & Washington Post that also relied on dubious sources and falsehoods to push the Trump-Russia conspiracy narrative: realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2021/…
1) A Feb. 9, 2017 Washington Post article claimed that Michael Flynn had held "explicit" discussions with Russia's UN Ambassador about US sanctions.
Transcripts of the calls, released in May 2020, showed this was false. Sanctions were in fact only mentioned once, in passing.
The Flynn transcripts did show that there was a more extensive discussion about a separate action, *expulsions*.
But the Post's sources said the references to sanctions were "explicit", and that Flynn even made a "potentially illegal signal" of a future "reprieve."
A new example of how clueless NATO troll farm Bellingcat is: they don't even understand their own claims (probably because they don't write them, as I've exposed before: thegrayzone.com/2021/03/24/aut…)
I said that no recognized CW experts have stated "that the Douma victims' rapid, and in some reported cases immediate onset, of *profuse frothing* is consistent with chlorine gas."
Blanc doesn't challenge that re: frothing. He invokes a straw man: onset of pulmonary edema.
Blanc, I'm sure, understands the difference between pulmonary edema (a condition) and profuse, immediate frothing (a symptom seen in the Douma victims, staged by their sectarian death squad killers). So he's just being disingenuous. @N_Waters89 I'd bet, just doesn't understand.
