| | Re: Poisoning of two Russians and a police officer in Salisbury, UK | Quote: |  | | | I think if they had any prooof they wouldhave come up with something by now, if only to back up an increasingly weak accusation.
When the Skripals got hit, we were told the Novichoks was quickly disapated in the atmosphere and would be reduced harmless by humidity.
Plenty of time has gone by and now we here it can stay around for a long time.....by the exact same government body.
It just doesn't add up properly and with no tangible proof the story and accusation gets weaker by the day.
Shit or get off the pot is the phrase that comes to mind !
I am sure their are reasons why we cannot be told everything, security reasons or whatever, but with no real, tangible proof tying this directly and irrefutably to whoever did it, it just sounds like a load of bollocks | | | | | I repeat my question "how do you know they do not have tangible proof"?
"now we hear it can stay around for a long time.....by the exact same government body." Do you have a source for this statement?

You accuse someone of something, you show proof. The fact that they haven't shown anything means they don't have it. Simple.

They would come out with it to proof how right they were and to enlist the help of the international community.
Trump is meeting Putin soon, the UK would love to have the USA on board with this "incident"
We've heard all the rhetoric from the UK govt ministers, it is now time to show some evidence...

Read the reports from Skripal case and the reports today, don't need a "source" just need to read what they already said and what they say now

It is simple in a constitutional state:
You accuse somebody - as long as you don't show proof it is defamation or even slander.
The question is: Is England a constitutional state? |

There is a theory in the article that the victims found a sealed container of poison and opened it, but there is no evidence yet to support this theory.
Do you see the difference between "quickly dissipated in the atmosphere" vs a "sealed container", the reason they are talking about a "sealed container" is because they know the poison is "quickly dissipated in the atmosphere" |

If the Russians/Putin etc. wanted to kill someone, wouldn't they just do it? Staged robbery? Fake drug overdose? Run a car off a bridge? Toss someone off of a hotel balcony and call it suicide?
Why the top secret poisons, which would only be available to state actors, which don't even work?... :roll eyes:
Are we supposed to believe that the Russian gov't is both completely unscrupulous and inept? (depending on one's view of government in general it may just be that way by default..)
Anything is possible but the UK gov. should display some evidence before demanding an explanation from Russia.

It is that in the half century since the poisons were invented medical treatments have vastly improved.
Even after such successful treatment it is likely patients will have continuing problems and a shorter life expectation.

The video (which has now been exchanged, I HATE the way they just change news, instead of providing them linearly = destroy proof of what's been said)
an official clearly stated that novichok can stay around for a long time.
The sentence "we were told the Novichoks was quickly dissipated in the atmosphere and would be reduced harmless by humidity - now we hear it can stay around for a long time.....by the exact same government body." may not have been used by an official (obviously not, ROFL) or the media but it was what Today Only expressed after reading/hearing the two infos.

However, let's move on. You two don't agree. Can't see a problem there.
I know you as someone who provides good information here but personally I do think you missed that little bit yesterday (and there's gotta be a reason they quickly removed/replaced it).
What puzzles me: The diverse labs said it was not Novichok? Is sthat correct? Then why does England insist on Novichok?
England could not test it themselves? So why can they now? And so quickly?
Why are they attacked by two's? Why do not more people at a time get affected?
The moment the discussion about this dies down, it happens again? To two people only?
Who are these latest victims? What's their history?
What does England gain from all this? "Look we need the protection of the EU?"

In fact, the less proof there is, the stronger the conspiracy theory. Moreover, its not even about proof anymore. You stack constant accusations against someone for a long enough time and at some point the public believes he's guilty irrelevant of whether there is any evidence. The public will just remember it was the Russians.

This poisoning was organised by the UK Govt. Very soon they will "find" a canister clearly labelled in Russian, " Novochok, property of Putin's Govt., only to be used on Sergei Skripal"
Basically, I wanted to know which government body said it and what was the basis for this? Obviously it is a very major health risk if the poison is still hanging around.
Incidentally Vladimir Uglev, who worked on the substances for 15 years, had said the nerve agent would likely stick around in Salisbury for many years to come. It was “near impossible” to detect, he added; it would be hard to know where it may be lurking.
“The substance can absorb itself into any soft surface, whether trees, leather, or park benches,” he said. “From there it can be absorbed onto people’s skin with all the consequences.” Source |

What does Russia (should it be the Russians) gain from this? | | | | | England, at Porton Down, tested the Skripal poison and found it to be Novichok.
The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) independently tested the poison and their official report said | Quote: |  | | | THE HAGUE, Netherlands — 12 April 2018 — The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) transmitted yesterday to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK) the report of the OPCW’s mission to provide requested technical assistance in regard to the Salisbury incident on 4 March 2018.
The results of the analysis by the OPCW designated laboratories of environmental and biomedical samples collected by the OPCW team confirm the findings of the United Kingdom relating to the identity of the toxic chemical that was used in Salisbury and severely injured three people. | | | | | Source
It is a relatively simple and quick test to chemically identify this poison.
You can read about here!
The APD 2000, manufactured by Environmental Technologies Group (ETG), can detect nerve agents in the environment and will sound an alarm. Costs less than CHF 5,000 in ebay..

Not got much to add but one thing seems 'funny' to me and that is the relatively close proximity of the Portland Down facility. It strikes me that there must somehow be a connection to this. What that is however is not obvious. One can only hope the police are thoroughly checking all possibilities in this respect.
