Occasionally, when I'm doing research for my next book, I discover a villain or a hero. Today's hero is Doctor Balys Matulionis.

Dr. Matulionis was a physician in Lithuania, and spent 20 years in the Lithuanian army as a medical doctor. The Soviets put him in prison in 1940, and he got let out when they retreated in 1941. He did a lot to keep the Lithuanian medical sector functional under Nazi occupation.

Historically, the Russian/Soviet state oppressed and killed allies with nearly as much vigor as it did enemies. When the Soviets re-occupied the Baltic States in 1944-1945, they arrested the people who had been opposing the Nazis on the basis that such people are troublesome

Nazi Germany was the first nation to develop and mass production nerve agents as a weapon. However, as with anything to do with Hitler and Nazis, a bunch of ill-informed people have been pronouncing nonsense. Some of it out of ignorance, some from malice.

A thread First problematic thing- the use of the phrase "Nerve gas". The nerve agents we are talking about are not gases. They are, in fact, liquids. Using the phrase "nerve gas" kind of marks you out as not knowing the basic concepts.

75 years ago, much of it this week 75 years ago, 22 members of my extended family were sent off into captivity by the Soviet Union.

21 of the 22 were sent to Siberia. The 22nd was sent to Kazakhstan. The youngest were 5 years old. Some tankie is going to tell me a 5 year old was a Nazi collaborator

Let me tell you a few stories about how stupid this "London has no go zones" has become over the years. I think it was 2019. I was visiting Arizona, where I grew up. I went to a craft beer place near where I grew up. I ordered a beer and started talking to people.

Let me see if I can explain this. Underground bunkers have not been the way to try to survive a US-USSR/Russian nuclear war since the late 1970s. At some point in the 1970s, Soviet nuclear targeting got better due to satellite reconnaissance. At about the same time that the accuracy on their ICBMs and SLBMs went from Km to m.

This likely disinformation story ruined my evening last night and I'm not going to spread it. It's got a huge amount of problems.

First, it's a clickbait headline that way overstates what the article actually says. Let's start with what the article actually claims.

It's reporting what some groups expect, not some stunning revelation from Washington.

OK. A few days ago, I promised a bit of a thread on alleged chloropicrin incidents in the Russia / Ukraine conflict. Chloropicrin is a nasty irritant chemical with uses in industry but is broadly speaking both a failed tear gas agent and a failed chemical warfare agent.

OK. Here's a Captain Dan military history post on Chemical Warfare and Chemical Weapons in the Second World War.

Now, some of you will say, "but Dan! Chemical warfare was a world war 1 thing, not a world war 2 thing" and as a broad sweeping generalisation, you mostly have a point. Mostly.

The thing about my legal case on #Blacklisting is that nobody knows how deep or wide the problem is. The UK Cabinet Office claims to not know. I hope that my court case will force some disclosure of this dark and sinister policy and just how widespread the problem is. Because we're clearly at the "they can't do anything well" stage, the UK government broke the first role of blacklisting. They told me I was blacklisted. In writing.

Help me raise funds for my legal case against the UK government's sinister blacklisting policy. Sadly, seeking justice in the UK is not free. My excellent legal team at @LeighDay_Law has taken my case but I need to crowdfund this valuable effort.

crowdjustice.com/case/dan-kasze… In case you are curious, funds to Crowd Justice don't come to me. They go to my legal effort. You can see how it works here: crowdjustice.com/how-it-works/

It is me. I’m launching legal action

Update: No, I’ve not deleted any tweets based on the UK government’s strong objections to my social media. They’ve not been specific. I’m a private citizen. If the UK government can object to my social media accounts they can do it to you too.

So, thanks only to serious interventions at the political level, a copy of the blacklisting process has been placed in the Houses of Parliament Library. And thanks to contacts that the average person might not have, I now have it.

Source of the document is here, as any old git can knock up a word file. And someone will claim I made it up.

OK. That conference where I was uninvited, by order of the UK government? I spoke at the same conference 2 years ago. Without incident and to, admittedly, mild praise. This is the summary of my uncontroversial presentation from the 2021 conference. There's nothing here to upset the UK government. I checked my slides. I didn't even mention the UK. At all.

One thing I do not want or need right now is snarky or sinister tweets comparing me to David Kelly or wishing his fate on me. That’s not on. And it’s disrespectful to his family and memory. 1. You think he got killed and I now have to treat your tweet as a threat.
