The Syrian Chemical Weapons Narrative involves multiple allegations of chemical weapons use. Few of these were deemed credible enough for the OPCW to investigate. And when they were, as we have learned from the Douma investigation, the investigations are manipulated in order to reach a 'preordained conclusion' @Tracking_Power @Tim_Hayward_berlingroup21.org/courage-founda…Image 1) A key problem with the allegations, in the first instance, is that they have been supplied by organisations (such as the White Helmets, CBRN task force, Violations Documentation Center) linked to opposition groups and countries seeking to overthrow the Syrian government.

Censorship and deplatforming are major components of propaganda campaigns. The Westminster Declaration is an important step in the fight back against the censorship regimes emerging across western democracies.
@PanData19 @ForPropaganda @propagandainfocuswestminsterdeclaration.org 1) Especially since, the COVID-19 event, it has become clearer to many that basic democratic principles relating to freedom of expression and rational debate are under siege. propagandainfocus.com/deafening-sile…

The 9/11 crime and the ensuing global 'war on terror' were major strategic deceptions; they have greater relevance to today than many people realise, @KimDotcom @RobertKennedyJr @ic911justice @thecoastguy During the weeks after 9/11, as British Prime Minister Tony Blair was telling the world this: Image

It is incredible and a source of shame for @elonmusk and @TwitterSupport that reports of censorship continue. In this case the continued deplatforming of an activist, @MamaTatiana_, dedicated to speaking truth to power whilst facilitating respectful dialogue between all people, And in this case an organisation, @hartgroup_org, composed of scientists and health professionals carefully challenging the tsunami of propaganda that has emanated from authorities over the last three years:

Why no mention of the @OPCW whistleblowers and the manipulated investigation into the alleged chemical attack in Douma, @POLITICOEurope @shannonvansant? The White Helmets played a key role in this controversial event.

So @UK_OPCW, can you address the following factual shortcomings in the @opcw's 2023 IIT report? @aaronjmate @2ndNewMoon @MichaKobs 1) Why does the report make demonstrably inaccurate claims regarding TeCP being proof of chlorine gas release? See @aaronjmate's work here for a full explication: thegrayzone.com/2023/02/03/opc…

Berlin 2023: The same forces driving authoritarianism at home are pushing us toward war global conflict. The same corrupt and ideological 'military industrial complex'. *Left* & *Right* need to recognise this common threat. @jimmy_dore @rustyrockets @JamesMelville @SWagenknecht 1) We are indeed reaching the endpoint of the threat Eisenhower warned us of back in 1961: 'we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence ... by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.'

This 'disinformation' claim by @GermanyinNL deceptive. It was in fact courageous OPCW scientists who identified key flaws in the @opcw's fact finding mission on Douma. @aaronjmate @2ndNewMoon 1) This first emerged when the original report was doctored, without the knowledge of the Douma team, and altered to suggest the attack had occurred, when there was in fact no evidence of this. berlingroup21.org/grave-concerns…

The problem @deb_cohen, @helenlewis, is that large numbers of people, incl. experts, have had the mis/dis/malinformation labels used to censor, deplatform and smear them. @DrJBhattacharya @MartinKulldorff This paper by @joshg99 et al gives a good indication of what has been going on: link.springer.com/article/10.100…
