    CONFIRMED: Chemical Weapons Assessment Contradicting Official Syria Narrative Is Authentic

    Caitlin Johnstone CaitlinJohnstone.com
    Fri, 17 May 2019 13:44 UTC



    The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has begun responding to queries by the press about a leaked document which contradicts official OPCW findings on an alleged chemical weapons attack last year in Douma, Syria. The prepared statement they've been using in response to these queries confirms the authenticity of the document.

    To recap, a few days ago the Working Group on Syria, Propaganda and Media (WGSPM) published a document signed by a man named Ian Henderson, whose name is seen listed in expert leadership positions on OPCW documents from as far back as 1998 and as recently as 2018. It's unknown who leaked the document and what other media organizations they may have tried to send it to.

    The report picks apart the extremely shaky physics and narratives of the official OPCW analysis on the gas cylinders allegedly dropped from Syrian government aircraft in the Douma attack, and concludes that
    "The dimensions, characteristics and appearance of the cylinders, and the surrounding scene of the incidents, were inconsistent with what would have been expected in the case of either cylinder being delivered from an aircraft," saying instead that manual placement of the cylinders in the locations investigators found them in is "the only plausible explanation for observations at the scene."
    To be clear, this means that according to the assessment signed by an OPCW-trained expert, the cylinders alleged to have dispensed poison gas which killed dozens of people in Douma did not arrive in the locations that they were alleged to have arrived at via aircraft dropped by the Syrian government, but via manual placement by people on the ground, where photographs were then taken and circulated around the world as evidence against the Syrian government which was used to justify air strikes by the US, UK and France.

    There were swift military consequences meted out on what appears now to be a lie. At the time, the people on the ground were the Al Qaeda-linked Jaysh Al-Islam, who had at that point nothing to lose and everything to gain by staging a false flag attack in a last-ditch attempt to get NATO powers to function as their air force, since they'd already effectively lost the battle against the Syrian government.

    Leaked Document Pokes More Holes In Establishment Syria Narrative

    Leaked Document Pokes More Holes In Establishment Syria Narrative

    “It is hard to overstate the significance of this revelation,” tweets former British MP George Galloway of a new report by the Working…
    medium.com
    We now have confirmation that, for whatever the reason may be, this assessment was hidden from the public by the OPCW.

    British journalists Peter Hitchens and Brian Whitaker have both published matching statements from the OPCW on this report. Hitchens has been an outspoken critic of the establishment Syria narrative; Whittaker has been a virulent promulgator of it. The statement begins as a very mundane and obvious assertion that it takes information from numerous sources and then publishes its conclusions, but concludes with an admission that it is "conducting an internal investigation about the unauthorized release of the document in question." This constitutes an admission that the document is authentic.

    Here is the text of the statement in full; the portion I'm drawing attention to is in the second-to-last paragraph:
    The OPCW establishes facts surrounding allegations of the use of toxic chemicals for hostile purposes in the Syrian Arab Republic through the Fact-Finding Mission (FFM), which was set up in 2014.

    The OPCW Technical Secretariat reaffirms that the FFM complies with established methodologies and practices to ensure the integrity of its findings. The FFM takes into account all available, relevant, and reliable information and analysis within the scope of its mandate to determine its findings.

    Per standard practice, the FFM draws expertise from different divisions across the Technical Secretariat as needed. All information was taken into account, deliberated, and weighed when formulating the final report regarding the incident in Douma, Syrian Arab Republic, on 7 April 2018. On 1 March 2019, the OPCW issued its final report on this incident, signed by the Director-General.

    Per OPCW rules and regulations, and in order to ensure the privacy, safety, and security of personnel, the OPCW does not provide information about individual staff members of the Technical Secretariat

    Pursuant to its established policies and practices, the OPCW Technical Secretariat is conducting an internal investigation about the unauthorised release of the document in question.

    At this time, there is no further public information on this matter and the OPCW is unable to accommodate requests for interviews.
    This should be a major news headline all around the world, but of course it is not. As of this writing the mass media have remained deathly silent about the document despite its enormous relevance to an international headline story last year which occupied many days of air time. It not only debunks a major news story that had military consequences, it casts doubt on a most esteemed international independent investigative body and undermines the fundamental assumptions behind many years of western reporting in the area. People get lazy about letting the media tell them what's important and they assume if it's not in the news, it's not a big deal. This is a big deal, this is a major story and it is going unreported, which makes the media's silence a part of the story as well.

    Also conspicuously absent from discussion has been the war propaganda firm Bellingcat, which is usually the first to put the most establishment-friendly spin possible on any development in this area. If Eliot Higgins can't even work out how to polish this turd, you know it's a steamer.

    As near as I can tell the kindest possible interpretation of these revelations is that an expert who has worked with the OPCW for decades gave an engineering assessment which directly contradicted the official findings of the OPCW on Douma, but OPCW officials didn't find his assessment convincing for whatever reason and hid every trace of it from public view. That's the least sinister possibility: that a sharp dissent from a distinguished expert within the OPCW's own investigation was completely hidden from the public because the people calling the shots at the OPCW didn't want to confuse us with a perspective they didn't find credible. This most charitable interpretation possible is damningly unacceptable by itself, because the public should obviously be kept informed of any possible evidence which may contradict the reasons they were fed to justify an act of war by powerful governments.

    And there are many far less charitable interpretations. It is not in the slightest bit unreasonable to speculate that the ostensibly independent OPCW in fact serves the interests of the US-centralized power alliance, and that it suppressed the Henderson report because it pokes holes in the narratives that are used to demonize a longtime target for imperialist regime change. That is a perfectly reasonable possibility for us to wonder about, and the onus is now on the OPCW to prove to us that it is not the case.

    Either way, the fact that the OPCW kept Henderson's findings from receiving not a whisper of attention severely undermines the organization's credibility, not just with regard to Douma but with regard to everything, including the establishment Syria narrative as a whole and the Skripal case in the UK. Everything the OPCW has ever concluded about alleged chemical usage around the world is now subject to very legitimate skepticism.
    "The leaked OPCW engineers' assessment is confirmed as genuine, which means the final report actively concealed evidence that the Douma chemical attack was staged by jihadists and the White Helmets," tweeted British journalist Jonathan Cook.

    "The OPCW's other Syria reports must now be treated as worthless too."
    When I first reported on the Henderson document the other day, I received a fair criticism from a Medium user that I was actually far too charitable in my reporting on just how thoroughly the official Douma narrative was rejected.
    "This article doesn't really express just how damning the report actually is," the user said.

    "It's much more than just on balance their observations are inconsistent with the cylinders being dropped from aircraft. Just about everything about the official narrative is shown to be plain impossible, from the angles of the broken rebar in the roof, through the damage to the gas cylinders, to the pile of fins on the balcony that couldn't have been attached to the cylinder, and more. There's simply no way they were dropped from helicopters."
    I strongly encourage readers to check out the 15-page document for themselves to understand its claims and make up their own minds, and then sit a bit to really digest the possible implications. We may have just discovered a major piece of the puzzle explaining how seemingly independent international organizations help deceive us into consenting to wars and regime change interventionism around the world.

    The narrative that Syrian president Bashar al-Assad is a monster who gasses his own people has been used to justify western interventionism in that nation which has included arming actual terrorist groups, enabling them to leave a trail of blood and chaos across Syria, as well as an illegal occupation of Syrian land and sanctions against the Syrian economy. This narrative is being used currently to maintain support for continuing to uphold the crippling sanctions that are making life hell for the average Syrian, today. This is not in the past, this is happening now, and there is no telling when these siege efforts towards regime change will be ramped up further into more overt forms of military action. The violence, displacement and economic hardship that is being inflicted upon the Syrian people by this interventionism is causing incalculably immense suffering, and it is all made possible by false narratives sold to the public.

    Remember, they wouldn't work so hard to manufacture your consent if they didn't require that consent.

    So, don't give it to them. The first step to ending the suffering caused by western interventionism is to help free public consciousness from the incredibly complex and well-oiled propaganda machine which manufactures the consent of the governed for unconscionable acts of violence and devastation. Wake people up to what's going on so we can all cease consenting.

    Oh, not that I'm a Language expert or anything, LOL, but if you read the comments to the video concerning the "Floor Markings", apparently what's written there just before the Israeli flag it says "Death to Israel" and a reason given why it's on the floor is so that the Iranian soldiers can "stomp on it with their boots" ?

    Is an $8b loss even recoverable? Are Gillette on the brink of ruin? Gillette CFO Jon Moeller had the gall to blame it on 'men not shaving anymore'. Sorry mate, that isn't it. In basically calling 99% of your customer base toxic, and borderline criminals, what did you expect to happen?

    The hashtag #GetWokeGoBroke has been trending since January, and SJW defenders who claimed that boycotting the brand wouldn't even dent them, have proven massively incorrect. I can’t help but feel a serves-you-right sort of vibe.

    The Ad went viral in January this year, and sparked an instant backlash. The so far 31million views on youtube (1.5m thumbs down) has generated relentless criticism. Such comments include:

    Quote You have founded the "Me Neither" movement. "I don't use Gillette products anymore." "Me neither!"

    Just here to dislike this video, and remind Gillette that I will never buy another Gillette product ever again.

    The commercial did a great job raising brand awareness. Men are now looking for the Gillette brand and making sure they don’t buy it.

    It is very confusing trying to reconcile a social engineering campaign with corporate profits... the two don't really mix; I have to believe the braintrust in these corporations understand this. It wouldn't take too many focus groups to understand a patronizing message never commensurates with increased sales.

    You’ve been lied to: Walrus suicide NOT caused by climate change as Attenborough story quietly revised. What else is a lie?

    © Reuters / Fabian Bimmer

    Footage of walruses driven to suicide by climate change broke the world’s heart last year, only for the story to be quietly revised. But if media lied about walrus suicides, what else are they lying about?

    Renowned nature documentarian David Attenborough probably converted a few climate skeptics with his heartrending footage of walruses, their habitat decimated by climate change, throwing themselves off cliffs in despair in the 2018 Netflix documentary Our Planet.

    Unfortunately, the story was untrue. Walruses regularly take to the water as part of their seasonal migration, and some plummet to their doom in their hurry to escape predators like polar bears, which sometimes hunt their prey by triggering a stampede off a precipice.

    Some eagle-eyed viewers noted that the placement of Attenborough’s camera crew might have also left his walruses with no choice but to jump off the cliff, since humans were blocking the beach. With polar bears menacing them inland, the walruses could have been caught between the proverbial rock and hard place.

    Other sleuths found the filmmakers had engaged in some editing trickery to make it seem that the ‘desperate’ walruses going ashore to the dangerous cliffs were just around the corner from the packed 100,000-strong colony showcased in the documentary. In fact, the two locations were 400 hundred kilometers apart in Russia’s Far East.


    © Yandex.Maps

    The persistence of a handful of climate change skeptics seems to have shamed Attenborough into revising his explanation of the pinniped tragedy. In a more recent BBC documentary Seven Worlds, One Planet, he explains the walrus mass suicide as a consequence of marauding polar bears – another species supposedly on the edge of extinction because of climate change but apparently doing quite well.

    Attenborough wasn’t the first to depict the walruses’ death dive as the tragic result of manmade global warming – the group Climate Progress was using the tale to tug at heartstrings as early as 2014, calling the yearly walrus retreats to the land a “real change.” That sob story, too, was debunked – walrus “haul-outs” are actually a sign of healthy population growth, their numbers having rebounded since the outlawing of large-scale hunting, though that didn’t stop the climate change contingent from trying to claim that the makeup of the walrus population was unusual this time, with more females and calves, and maybe that was because of climate change.

    Environmental activists tearing their hair out about “climate change deniers” fail to take into account the frequency with which the media gets climate change wrong. Attenborough’s walruses are just the latest flub in a long history of green fables that have evaporated on closer examination. Former vice president turned environmental crusader Al Gore famously predicted New York would be underwater in the near future due to a 20-foot rise in sea levels, declaring in 2008 that the North Pole would go completely ice-free within five years. Gore has become a very rich man off his holdings in solar energy, which ballooned in value following the release of his film An Inconvenient Truth – a film so full of errors a UK judge would only allow it to be showed in schools with “guidance notes to prevent political indoctrination.”

    The familiar “hockey stick” graph, used by climate change alarmists to claim that global temperatures have been rising rapidly since the industrial revolution, was dealt a near-fatal blow in 2009 with the release of internal emails from the University of East Anglia’s climate research division. The emails revealed the scientists had ‘edited’ the Earth’s historical temperature record to fit their theories, a scandal that has come to be known as ClimateGate. These scientists worked with the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change – the group whose recent report warned humanity we have 12 years to act before irreversible climate change dooms us all to temperature increases incompatible with life.

    Sure, one could believe the IPCC has cut out the misbehaving climate superstars and restricted itself to reliable science this time. Certainly mainstream media has all but forgotten about the ClimateGate emails, eager to lure in more viewers with climate catastrophe and theatrical Extinction Rebellion protests, but “fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me,” as they say…

    Mainstream media has been caught lying about seemingly everything – from labeling a Kentucky weapons demonstration as Turkish shelling of helpless Kurds, to flogging the “Russian collusion” hoax long past its sell-by date, to blaming hurricanes on climate change. Trust in the media is at historic lows; a poll conducted by the Columbia Journalism Review earlier this year found less confidence in the press than any other institution, including Congress.

    So while scientists have been adamant climate change is a real phenomenon, and it’s entirely possible the humans are contributing to it to some extent, it is difficult for many who’ve been lied to by the media for their entire lives to believe that this time and this time only, they’re telling the truth.

    Under these conditions, it’s surprising anyone believes in climate change at all.

    • almost all attacks on the mainstream narrative will be "flagged" by Fake Fact Checkers working for Twitter, Facebook & YouTube to justify: comment ghosting, shadow banning, de-listing, de-platforming, censorships, deletings, banning etc. etc.
    • to help "cancel culture" to go rampant: people losing their revenue for having adifferent point of view.

    Brilliant

    It reminds one a little of this:

    “If a man does not keep pace with [fall into line with] his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.” - Thoreau

    I cannot watch this sycophantic ‘common-purposed’ stupid-fest of deniability. These poor so-called ‘journalists/presenters’ are so pre-programmed it is pathetic. Their desperation is leaking, but what are they going to do when their careers are in tatters, their opinions proven false, they are fakes?

    It is their profession that has normalised bold faced lying and bull****.

    It is their correctional apocalypse moment or it is our apocalypse moment as a species.

    As nerve battering as it all is right now, I'll bet my bob on it being the media's apocalypse. The common cataract is being removed from the eyes of the human race.

    Feels like we are in Stepford territory - msm is just about scripted coverage now. It would be almost comical if there weren't a chunk of the population still buying it.

    Oops, just noticed that this is something from 2018 (but think its relevant today). James Wood had already figured it out.

    Facebook Shuts Down Page for GOP Senate Campaigns Just Before Georgia Runoffs
    BY ZACHARY STIEBER
    January 2, 2021
    https://www.theepochtimes.com/facebo...g-2021-01-02-3


    "Facebook shut down a fundraising page for Sens. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) and David Perdue (R-Ga.) just days before voters head to the polls to decide between the Republicans and their Democratic challengers.

    The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) runs the Georgia Battleground Fund, a joint fundraising committee for the NRSC and the campaigns for Loeffler and Perdue.

    According to a screenshot from the committee, Facebook alerted them that the page for the fund was disabled “for policy violation.”

    The page allegedly violated a policy against unacceptable business practices.

    “We don’t allow ads that promote products, services, schemes, or offers using deceptive or misleading practices, including those meant to mislead or scam people out of money or personal information,” the alert said.

    “Big Tech is at it again,” the NRSC said in a statement. “This is unacceptable with only four days to Election Day.”

    A Facebook spokesperson told news outlets that what happened was a mistake.

    “An automated error caused this ad account to be disabled,” the spokesperson said. “The account has since been restored.”

    The Jan. 5 runoff elections could determine which party controls the Senate.

    Republicans hold a 50-48 edge in the upper chamber in the next Congress. If Democrats win both runoffs and the White House, they’d control the Senate by virtue of the tiebreaking vote the vice president, acting as the president of the Senate, can cast.

    Democrats maintained a majority in the House of Representatives, though their edge got slimmer.

    Loeffler is being challenged by pastor Raphael Warnock while Perdue is facing filmmaker Jon Ossoff."


    (SO: "A Facebook spokesperson told news outlets that what happened was a mistake.'An automated error caused this ad account to be disabled,' the spokesperson said. 'The account has since been restored.'” Very convenient to blame AI for their blatant censorship. I wonder how long that flimsy excuse is going to work for them? )
