Just in case Hullefc missed this.......
A nerve agent was used to poison a Russian former spy and his daughter, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons said, as its inquiry backed the U.K. on the toxin’s identity.
Results of the OPCW’s analysis “confirm the findings of the United Kingdom relating to the identity of the toxic chemical that was used in Salisbury,” the organization said in a statement on Thursday.......
That response was due to this.
“Is that the Novichok, the most deadliest nerve agent known to man with 'no known antidote' (Porton Down scientist), and the three survived?
The Porton Down expert said 'can't trace it to Russia'. I bet they can't.
Remember the consultant at Salisbury hospital's letter to the Times, '“Sir, Further to your report (“Poison Exposure Leaves Almost 40 Needing Treatment”, Mar 14), may I clarify that
no patients have experienced symptoms of nerve-agent poisoning in Salisbury and there have only ever been three patients with significant poisoning........"
I have responded to this, as I am now able to get to my computer after returning from taking the people I support on holiday.
Meanwhile, this Monday 16th April 2018, the only country that has stated it has Novichok is the UK.
Where are the words ‘Novichok’ or newcomer is that summary point? This may be in the full report sent to the different countries.
Where are the words nerve agent?
The words nerve agent appears in the first summary point but as ‘allegedly’.
All the OPCW confirmed was that Porton Down’s claim that it was a ‘toxic chemical – an alleged nerve agent’.
Porton Down claimed the nerve agent was a ‘Novichok’ but cannot be traced to Russia. I bet they can’t because the OPCW said that Russia got rid of all chemical weapons in October 2017. This was backed up by Peter Wilson UK Ambassador to the Netherlands and the UK’s OPCW representative.
“In other positive developments, the successful completion of the verified destruction of the Russian Federation’s declared chemical weapons stockpile underscores the global commitment to rid the world of chemical weapons. The UK was pleased to contribute funding and expertise to support Russia’s work. We also welcome the progress made by the Iraqi authorities to destroy the final remnants of Saddam Hussein’s era chemical weapon stockpile at the Al Muthana complex”. Peter Wilson.
‘The successful completion of the verified destruction of the Russian Federation declared chemical weapons stockpile’. Said Peter Wilson.
According to the OPCW and backed up by Peter Wilson the Russia Federation doesn’t have chemical weapons. But May and Johnson say they have ‘military grade nerve agent’ . May and Johnson are obviously questioning the competency and credibility of the OPCW.
Then the Jackanory shifted from administered on the bench, to the pub to the restaurant, from the car to finally and ‘without doubt the front door handle’. And this has been backed up by Mark Sedwell and Laurie Bristow -British Ambassador to Russia. Incredibly even Peter Wilson. is now claiming that not only he was duped by the Russian Federation for 10 long years but the OPCW was as well.
Laurie Bristow claimed that, ‘The knowledge that Russia has produced this agent within the last 10 years and remains capable of doing so’. And the UK never informed the OPCW that Russia ‘has produced this agent within the last 10 years. And the UK never told Peter Wilson that this was the case and to raise this with the OPCW. When the OPCW was announcing to the world that the Russian Federation has got rid of its chemical weapons they never shouted from the rooftops ‘no they haven’t, you are all being taken for a ride’. But now they are saying that. The UK reprentative to the UN never told that body that, ‘The knowledge that Russia has produced this agent within the last 10 years and remains capable of doing so’. This revelation questions the credibility of the OPCW to fully investigate the whereabouts of chemical agent anywhere and in any country.
Laurie Bristow also claims that, This programme included investigation of ways of delivering nerve agents, including by application to door handles’. ‘High purity’ to a door handle. But May and Johnson said it was a ‘military grade’ nerve agent. Which means it would have to have been mixed with other substances to turn the purity into ‘weapons grade’ as well as adding things so that it would stick to the front door handle. The Russian manual is obviously very, very detailed. It will obviously tell would be appliers to ‘sneak up in the night, apply the substance to the front door handle and scarper very, very quickly’.
The OPCW arrived in the UK at the request of the UK authorities on 19th March. The front door of the was not taken away until 29th March. The substance would have to be applied on the night of the 2nd, the morning of the 3rd. And the story runs that they both touched the front door handle at 9.30 ish and 4 hours later the ‘deadliest nerve agent known to man without any known antidote’ took effect and they slumped on the bench. Obviously the detective sergeant would have had to have touched the front door at the same time due to time delay reaction. So anyone who touched the front door handle would have been affected by this ‘nerve agent’.
The OPCW arrived on the 19th March that is 17 days after the toxic chemical was applied to the door handle. It had no impurities said the OPCW. ’The front door of the Skripals house was never protected by the elements in all those 17 days. There was no two man tent over the front door to protect the door handle. In fact the two man tent was 10 yards or so away in the garden. In those 17 days it rained half the time, there would also be traces of pollen on the door handle as well as car exhaust fumes and any other things floating around in the air. But it was ‘almost complete absence of impurities’.
Professor Robert Stockman, of the University of Nottingham, said traces of nerve agents did not linger. He added: 'These agents react with water to degrade, including moisture in the air, and so in the UK they would have a very limited lifetime. This is presumably why the street in Salisbury was being hosed down as a precaution – it would effectively destroy the agent.'
But the OPCW were able to get a sample of a toxic chemical ‘almost complete absence of impurities’ after 17 days.
The only way it would be ‘pure’ is if it came straight from a laboratory. Not messed around with to make it a ‘weapons grade nerve agent’ The only way the OPCW could say that it was ‘almost complete absence of impurities’ was if they could test it against a similar toxic chemicals made in a lab.
“I have now been sent the vital information that in late 2016, Iranian scientists set out to study whether novichoks really could be produced from commercially available ingredients. Iran succeeded in synthesising a number of novichoks. Iran did this in full cooperation with the OPCW and immediately reported the results to the OPCW so they could be added to the chemical weapons database.
This makes complete nonsense of the Theresa May’s “of a type developed by Russia” line, used to parliament and the UN Security Council. This explains why Porton Down have refused to cave in to governmental pressure to say the nerve agent was Russian.
If Iran can make a novichok, so can a significant number of states”. Craig Murray ex UK ambassador 17th March 2018.
But May and Johnson said only Russia could make it.
The sample the OPCW tested didn’t come from the Skripals front door and wasn't the thing that made them and the detective sergeant ill.
The most incredible thing about this ‘front door’ theory is that it was only the Skripals and the detective sergeant that got infected from touching the front door. ITV news showed people entering through the Skripals front door on the 6th March without any space suits on or gloves, and over a month later they have not taken ill.
We now know why May and Johnson had to frame Putin/the Kremlin so as to send their killing bombs to Syria.
