OPCW heeft vals rapport uitgebracht, VS propaganda-organen, inclusief Bellingcat, schieten te hulp

Ongelofelijk maar desondanks waar: de OPCW heeft een enorme bok geschoten met haar uiteindelijke rapportage over een gifgasaanval in het Syrische Douma, onder druk gezet door de VS werd de rapportage dusdanig opgesteld dat het Syrische leger inderdaad de schuld kreeg voor deze gifgasaanval..... Jammer voor de VS en de schunnig slappe topgraaiers van de OPCW, een klokkenluider van deze organisatie zocht de pers en deed e.e.a. uit de doeken.....

Zoals gewoonlijk heeft de VS, de rest van de westerse politiek en de reguliere westerse media schijt aan dergelijke klokkenluiders, men rept er niet over of men gaat in de tegenaanval en dat laatste is wat nu weer gebeurt met het feit dat de OPCW een vervalst rapport heeft uitgebracht. Het meer dan belachelijke en bewezen slechte 'leken journalisten' maar vooral propaganda clubje Bellingcat komt de OPCW te hulp.... (Bellingcat wordt betaald door de VS*)

Bellingcat laat simpel bepaalde delen buiten beschouwing van wat de klokkenluider naar buiten bracht, zoals een verstuurde email......

Lees het artikel van Moon Of Alabama, waarin ook aandacht voor de financiering van Bellingcat, deze wordt voor het grootste deel betaald door National Endowment for Democracy (NED) en deze organisatie wordt betaald door de VS overheid.... Voorts ontvangt Bellingcat geld van de Open Society Foundations van George Soros en van een paar organisaties in ons land als de Postcode Loterij en PAX (dat zet nog grotere vraagtekens bij het MH17 rapport van het JIT, dat zich ook liet voorlichten [of beter: oplichten] door Bellingcat.......)

As The OPCW Is Accused Of False Reporting U.S. Propaganda Jumps To Its Help

By Moon Of Alabama

December 02, 2019 "Information Clearing House" - An international organization published two false reports and got caught in the act. But as the false reports are in the U.S. interests a U.S. sponsored propaganda organization is send out to muddle the issue. As that effort comes under fire the New York Times jumps in to give the cover-up effort some extra help.

The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) manufactured a pretext for war by suppressing its own scientists' research:
OPCW emails and documents were leaked and whistleblowers came forward to speak with journalists and international lawyers. Veteran journalist Jonathan Steele, who has spoken with the whistleblowers, wrote an excellent piece on the issues. In the Mail on Sunday columnist Peter Hitchens picked up the issue and moved it forward.
Under U.S. pressure the OPCW management modified or suppressed the findings of its own scientists to make it look as if the Syrian government had been responsible for the alleged chemical incident in April 2018 in Douma.

The public attention to the OPCW's fakery lead to the questioning of other assertions the OPCW had previously made. With the OPCW under fire someone had come to its help.

To save the propaganda value of the OPCW reports the U.S. financed Bellingcat propaganda organization jumped in to save the OPCW's baconBellingcat founder "suck my balls" Elliot Higgins claimed that the OPCW reports satisfied the concerns the OPCW scientist had voiced.
That assertion is now further propagated by a New York Times piece which, under the pretense of reporting about open source analysis, boosts Bellingcat and its defense of the OPCW:
The blogger Eliot Higgins made waves early in the decade by covering the war in Syria from a laptop in his apartment in Leicester, England, while caring for his infant daughter. In 2014, he founded Bellingcat, an open-source news outlet that has grown to include roughly a dozen staff members, with an office in The Hague. Mr. Higgins attributed his skill not to any special knowledge of international conflicts or digital data, but to the hours he had spent playing video games, which, he said, gave him the idea that any mystery can be cracked.
...
Bellingcat journalists have spread the word about their techniques in seminars attended by journalists and law-enforcement officials. Along with grants from groups like the Open Society Foundations (OSF), founded by George Soros, the seminars are a significant source of revenue for Bellingcat, a nonprofit organization.
It seems that the New York Times forgot to mention an important monetary source for Bellingcat. Here is a current screenshot of Bellingcat's About page:

Porticus, Adessium, Pax for Peace and the Postcode Lottery are all Dutch organizations. Then there is the notorious Soros organization the New York Times mentioned. But why did the NYT forgot to tell its readers that Bellingcat is financed by the National Endowment for Democracy which itself is to nearly 100% funded by the U.S. government? Could that be because the NED, which spends U.S.government money on more than 1.600 U.S. government paid Non-Government Organizations, is a Trojan horse, a cover for the CIA?
Spurred by Watergate – the Church committee of the Senate, the Pike committee of the House, and the Rockefeller Commission, created by the president, were all busy investigating the CIA. Seemingly every other day there was a new headline about the discovery of some awful thing, even criminal conduct, the CIA had been mixed up in for years.
...
What was done was to shift many of these awful things to a new organization, with a nice sounding name – The National Endowment for Democracy. The idea was that the NED would do somewhat overtly what the CIA had been doing covertly for decades, and thus, hopefully, eliminate the stigma associated with CIA covert activities.
...
“We should not have to do this kind of work covertly,” said Carl Gershman in 1986, while he was president of the Endowment. “It would be terrible for democratic groups around the world to be seen as subsidized by the C.I.A. We saw that in the 60’s, and that’s why it has been discontinued. We have not had the capability of doing this, and that’s why the endowment was created.”
And Allen Weinstein, who helped draft the legislation establishing NED, declared in 1991: “A lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA.”
In effect, the CIA has been laundering money through NED.
The fact that the NED is doing the CIA's work is likely the reason why the NYT puff piece about Bellingcat forgets to mention its payments and also why it jumps to Bellingcat's and the OPCW's help:
Some journalists and activists hostile to what they characterize as Bellingcat’s pro-Western narratives have criticized some of its coverage of the war in Syria.
At issue is an April 7, 2018, attack on Douma, Syria. Bellingcat reported, based on an analysis of six open-source videos, that it was “highly likely” that Douma civilians had died because of chemical weapons. In March, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons reported that there were “reasonable grounds” to say that chemical weapons had been used in the attack.
Critics of Bellingcat have pointed to an email from an investigator with the organization, saying that it raised questions about the findings. WikiLeaks published the email on Nov. 23. In a response, Bellingcat defended its reporting, saying the final report on Douma from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons reflected the concerns of the investigator whose email was published by WikiLeaks.
By playing video games Elliot Higgins learned to identify chemical attacks in dubious video sequences published by terrorist affiliates. If true it is an admirable capability. Still his assertion that the OPCW report "reflected the concerns of the investigator" who criticized it is, a as Caitlin Johnstone demonstrates, utterly false:
Bellingcat simply ignores this absolutely central aspect of the email, as well as the whistleblower’s point about the symptoms of victims not matching chlorine gas poisoning.
In this case the confidence in the identity of chlorine or any choking agent is drawn into question precisely because of the inconsistency with the reported and observed symptoms,” the whistleblower writes in the email. “The inconsistency was not only noted by the [Fact Finding Mission] team but strongly noted by three toxicologists with expertise in exposure to [Chemical Weapons] agents.”
Bellingcat says nothing about these revelations in the email, and says nothing about the fact that the OPCW excluded them from both its Interim Report in July 2018 and its Final Report in March 2019, the latter of which actually asserted the exact opposite saying there was “reasonable grounds that the use of a toxic chemical as a weapon took place. This toxic chemical contained reactive chlorine. The toxic chemical was likely molecular chlorine.”
Bellingcat completely ignores all of these points, ...
In its defense of the OPCW report Bellingcat wrote:
[A] comparison of the points raised in the letter against the final Douma report makes it amply clear that the OPCW not only addressed these points, but even changed the conclusion of an earlier report to reflect the concerns of said employee.
Mail on Sunday columnist Peter Hitchens did not concur with that paragraph:
Apart from the words ‘a’, and ‘the’, everything in the above paragraph is, to put it politely, mistaken. Bellingcat have been so anxious to trash the leak from the OPCW that they have (as many did when the attack was first released) rushed to judgment without waiting for the facts 
More is known by the whistleblowers of the OPCW than has yet been released ...
Caitlin and Peter should play more video games. I have read in the NYT that they are the true path to learning and to the factual assessment of alleged chemical attacks.

On April 7 2018 terrorists of the Jaish al Islam group ruled in Douma. They killed 40 civilians. The bodies were shown in videos along with chlorine gas canisters to pretend that the Syrian government had killed those people. The OPCW's fact finding team analyzed the evidence and found that the canisters had not been dropped from the air but where manually placed. The symptoms the victims showed were inconsistent with a chlorine attack and chlorinated substances were only found in extremely low concentrations. There were absolutely no "reasonable grounds" to say that chemical weapons had been used in the attack.

But the OPCW management, under U.S. pressure and despite the protests by its own scientists, put out a report that said the opposite. As the manipulation came to light the U.S. funded Bellingcat made a perfunctory attempt to muddle the issue. Thus another propaganda organization, the New York Times, had to jump in to save Bellingcat and the false OPCW claims.
It is not going to help. There will soon be more evidence that the OPCW management published two false reports on Douma, and likely even more on other issue. There will be a public recognition that the OPCW failed.

Douma, OPCW lek wordt door massamedia toegeschreven aan Rusland, waarbij men blijft volhouden dat de gifgasaanval plaatsvond

Ongelofelijk maar waar: na dat het schandaal bekend werd dat de OPCW de rapportage over de 'gifgasaanval van het Syrische bewind op Douma' dusdanig heeft aangepast dat inderdaad het Syrische leger als schuldig werd aangewezen voor de gifgasaanval op Douma*, wordt er door de reguliere westerse media gesteld dat Rusland en de Syrische regering achter de lekken zit, waarmee ze proberen te ontkennen dat er een gifgasaanval plaatsvond........ Ofwel de westerse massamedia houden gewoon vol dat 'nog steeds vaststaat dat Syrië verantwoordelijk is voor de gifgasaanval op Douma', terwijl al lang bekend is dat dit een smerige leugen is, een feit dat middels het lek binnen de OPCW op straat kwam te liggen, inclusief de documenten en mails die e.e.a. bewijzen....... Let wel: het gaat hier om dezelfde massamedia die de vuilbek vol hebben over 'fake news' (nepnieuws), andere desinformatie en manipulaties op de sociale media.......

De gevonden hoeveelheden chlorine kan je overal vinden waar chloor als schoonmaakmiddel wordt gebruikt, of waar chloor wordt gefabriceerd, dan wel in zwembaden (of in de directe nabijheid van zwembaden of chloorfabrieken.......)

Ach, het is de zoveelste gifgasaanval die in de schoenen van Assad werd geschoven, terwijl achteraf bij echte gifgasaanvallen keer op keer bleek dat terreurgroepen gifgas hebben ingezet als wapen..... (zelfs Obama heeft dat een keer toegegeven) Men zat en zit er in de westerse politiek en media zelfs niet mee dat terreurgroepen als Al Qaida (in Syrië: al-Nusra) en anderen de beschikking hadden (en sommige nog hebben) over chlorine en zelfs sarin........

Surprise! MSM Spins OPCW Leak As Russian Disinfo




So, you might want to sit down for this, but believe it or not the mainstream media is behaving in a way that seems somewhat untruthful.

I know! I know. I'm just as astonished as you are.

So you know that Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) scandal we've been talking a lot about lately? The one where evidence keeps piling up that the US, UK and France launched airstrikes against the Syrian government last year in retaliation for a poison gas attack which never took place, and then manipulated an ostensibly independent and international chemical weapons watchdog organization into covering it up?

Well, it turns out that bigtime news media outlets haven't been all that interested for some strange and mysterious reason. But just today they broke the silence with a new report that mentioned the scandal, and they've totally spun it in a way that makes the US and its allies look good! Can you believe that?

And you'll never guess what excuse they're using to spin it. Never in a million, billion years.

Put a pillow down on the floor, because your jaw's about to drop like James Le Mesurier: believe it or not, they're blaming it on Russian disinformation.

MSM has been steadfastly ignoring the OPCW scandal, but AFP briefly breaks the silence to inform us that the OPCW leaks are being "highlighted" by "Moscow", and that unnamed "Western diplomats" say "the Russians and Syrians are trying to muddy the waters".https://news.yahoo.com/showdown-looms-over-syria-chemical-weapons-probe-033044356.html 
View image on Twitter


AFP, which just as an aside is one of only three gigantic news agencies that are responsible for most of the stories you see in the mass media, has put out an article that has been picked up by multiple mainstream media outlets titled "Showdown looms over Syria chemical weapons probe".

The article deliberately frames the issue as one which has been "highlighted" by "Moscow", and publishes a claim sourced to unnamed western officials that "the Russians and Syrians are trying to muddy the waters".

"Moscow has consistently raised doubts over chemical attacks in Syria or insisted they were staged, and has recently highlighted a leaked report raising questions about a deadly chlorine attack in the Syrian town of Douma in April 2018," AFP reports. "Western diplomats however say the Russians and Syrians are trying to muddy the waters about alleged attacks by President Bashar al-Assad's forces."

Never mind that the leaks themselves are intrinsically important and completely authentic, regardless of who's "highlighting" them. Never mind that the leaks have been "highlighted" by many non-Russian outlets, ranging from small alternative platforms like my own here in Melbourne all the way up to as mainstream as the UK's Daily Mail. All it takes is one Russian to talk about any issue of any kind and it can magically be spun as a talking point of Moscow, no matter how many westerners who have nothing to do with Russia are also talking about it.

The report's author, Danny Kemp, has been spending time narrative managing about the OPCW scandal on Twitter as well. Kemp argues that WikiLeaks, who published a leaked internal email from the organisation on Sunday which challenges the establishment Douma narrative, doesn't have trustworthy publications because WikiLeaks is associated with (you guessed it) Russia.


"Western source notes Russians are particularly sensitive re Douma because happened close to where their own troops were operating," Kemp tweeted. "Also worth noting Mueller highlighted WikiLeaks role in publishing Russian-hacked DNC documents. Plus Russia was accused of hacking OPCW last year."

Kemp's baseless Russia smear is invalidated by the fact that multiple other outlets have also published the email, including the Daily Mail, and by the fact that Reuters has independently verified the email's authenticity with a source in the OPCW.

The OPCW's Director General Fernando Arias said during a convention at The Hague today that he fully supports the conclusions that were published in the OPCW's final report on the Douma incident this past March, which asserted, contrary to everything the OPCW whistleblowers claim, that there was enough evidence to believe that a chemical weapon was used.

"On the first of March, 2019, the Fact Finding Mission issued its final report on the incident of alleged use of toxic chemical weapons in Douma on the seventh of April, 2018," Arias said. "The evaluation and analysis of all the information gathered by the Fact Finding Mission provide reasonable grounds that the use of a toxic chemical as a weapon had taken place."

"It is in the nature of any thorough inquiry for individuals in a team to express subjective views," Arias added. "The overall conclusions of the inquiry, however, must be based on the preponderance of objective facts."

While some of these diverging views continue to circulate in certain public discussion forums, I would like to reiterate that I stand by the independent, professional conclusions reached by the Fact Finding Mission,” Arias said.


Again, everything Arias said is contradicted by what the whistleblowers from inside the aforementioned Fact Finding Mission have been saying:
  • The leaked email says chlorinated organic chemicals on the scene were as low as one or two parts per billion, meaning they were trace background levels you'd find in any industrialized area, and that the symptoms of the victims were inconsistent with chlorine gas poisoning.
  • The leaked Engineering Assessment signed by ballistics expert Ian Henderson states that the alleged chlorine cylinders were much more likely to have been manually placed on the ground than dropped from the air, meaning the incident would have been staged by the Jaysh al-Islam fighters occupying Douma and not the Syrian air force.
  • The information given to journalist Jonathan Steele by the whistleblower "Alex" lists even more inconsistencies with the OPCW report, claims that dissent from the final drafts of the OPCW's Douma reports was a majority opinion within the team, and says investigators felt pressured both by OPCW management and an uncomfortable intercession by US government officials to come to a specific conclusion.
Given all this, there is no reason for anyone to feel at all confident that "the use of a toxic chemical as a weapon had taken place" in Douma. 

In the hours since Arias finally gave them a denial of the OPCW scandal that they can use in their reporting, the mass media have suddenly broken their deafening silence on this important story.

Reports have come out on Arias' defense of the official Douma reports from ReutersAP and CBS explaining to readers that the OPCW's head honcho says all the naughty people sharing unauthorized narratives about Douma are wrong. In a story about Syria and The Hague, the CBS article mentions the words "Russia" or "Russian" no fewer than twelve times, spinning the entire affair as nothing more than a Moscow-orchestrated conspiracy theory.

Here's an excerpt from the CBS article, just to give you a taste of the conspiratorial-lunatic spin job they're doing on something that amounts simply to authentic leaked information:
Russia and Syria have alleged that the incident was staged since soon after it took place. Russia even attempted to bolster its case by bringing individuals who it identified as Syrians seen in "staged" videos after the attack to testify to the OPCW at The Hague. 
European OPCW members rejected the Russian-Syrian claims outright, and refused to attend the session at OPCW headquarters. 
"This obscene masquerade does not come as a surprise from the Syrian government, which has massacred and gassed its own people for the last seven years," France's ambassador to the Netherlands, Philippe Lalliot, said in response.

New OPCW Leak Further Vindicates Skeptics Of Establishment Syria Narrative

"We were right, they were wrong. Maybe going forward people should listen to us a bit more and listen to them a bit less." https://medium.com/@caityjohnstone/new-opcw-leak-further-vindicates-skeptics-of-establishment-syria-narrative-1cf9d035db8b 


I guess it's nice to have some company on this important story after months and months of near-total silence, but man the spin's making me dizzy.

Of course it's not the mass media's job to objectively report facts, it's the mass media's job to manufacture consent for the status quo upon which the media-owning plutocratic class is built. This status quo naturally includes the globe-spanning US-centralized empire and the endless war which glues the whole thing together. The narrative that this oligarchic power alliance has once again deceived the world about yet another military intervention in yet another Middle Eastern nation would do serious damage to people's trust in the imperial propaganda machine, so the story will be ignored for as long as possible and then attacked with extreme aggression when that fails.

We're on attacking already. This is good.
