One thing you can say about Putin..when he finds something that works..he sticks with it!



UK's May says "highly likely" Russia responsible for poisoning of ex-spy



"British Prime Minister Theresa May said on Monday it was "highly likely" that Moscow was responsible for the poisoning in England of a former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia.

Either the Russian state was directly responsible for the poisoning or it had allowed a nerve agent to get into hands of others, May told Britain's parliament"

Wow, a con placing blame on Russia.

Wow, a con placing blame on Russia.

Wow, a hack thinking all cons support Russia........ Now that's surprising....... Not!!

These Brits are so damned close mouthed with their evidence during an investigation. Don't they have leakers over there? I'm curious as to how the nerve agent was delivered. If it was in their food, would there have been traces in the restaurant AND the pub that would cause the police to tell everyone who had been there to wash their clothes and take a good shower? Sounds more like it was on someone's clothing.
I hope the poor people recover. Maybe they can or are helping put together what happened.

For sure...and a spy makes enemies..not always a Govt. conspiracy. One of the Oligarchs could well have held a grudge. People make the mistake of thinking that Russia is a monolithic govt.

Of course, Putin is a good hater. Who knows? One thing is certain, the Brits will give it a great effort to find out.

Brits are dairy farming the incident and already know what the substance is.

Poisoning was from nerve agents of the Novichok group, though the specific chemical has not been named.

Putin's KGB experience links to Yevgenia Albats for the MIrzayanov origins. Albats is Russian Jewish Congress.

Where is Novichok,? Not What Is Novochok?

There is only one entry at Pubmed for Novichok:

Novichok
[Variety-specific actinomycete complexes associated with barley roots in soddy podzolic soil]. - PubMed - NCBI

The timing of the poisoning is timely for spirng barley varieties, such as Novichok, Chelyabinsk 99, etc.

Indeed, the nerve agent mimics cadmium poisoning symptoms in respiration, as does the binary nature of novichok and cyanide (the latter known to the Germans) from the two-compartments of the millipede, which can transport the chemistry and eject cyanide bullets when alarmed, as they are being combined in the body of the animal just prior to ejection.

Hordeum distichum var. novichok links Albats to the Russian Jewish Congress:

Therefore, the chemistry of novichok group nerve agents may be linked to organisms around the roots of barley.

Interesting...sometimes I wonder if someone isn't just stirring the pot to see it boil.

Less random than Austin, Mossad is adept at domestic hits, as Putin suggests Russian Jews behind election meddling.

The Mossad? I don't think so.

I do know this...Britain does not play the same way the US does..

U.K. Blames Russia for Poisoning Ex-Spy and Warns of Reprisals


"Prime Minister Theresa May publicly accused Russia of a chemical weapon attack on British soil and warned of retaliatory measures that will further strain relations between the West and the Kremlin.

In a dramatic statement to a hushed Parliament, May announced that Russian double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia had been poisoned eight days ago with a “military grade” nerve agent known as “Novichok” that was developed by Russia. She gave Vladimir Putin till midnight on Tuesday to rebut.

“Either this was a direct act by the Russian State against our country, or the Russian government lost control of this potentially catastrophically damaging nerve agent and allowed it to get into the hands of others,” May told lawmakers in London on Monday."

“Should there be no credible response, we will conclude that this action amounts to an unlawful use of force by the Russian state against the U.K.,” May said. “And I will come back to this House and set out the full range of measures that we will take.”

The Novichok nerve agent could have been acquired by Mossad. There are only so many combinations to come up with in synthesis. Novichok is ten times more potent than VX, and an investigative trajectory would include Streptomycetes in the roots of barley, aflatoxim, batrachotoxin, and trichothecenes (SE Asia, "Yellow Rain") have comparable chemistries. On this trajectory is the possibility of Richard Holbrooke's demise, if poisoned, may not show up at autopsy.

No doubt. UK has been Russia's bugabear, though so too has Chechnya. Chechens represent another real possibility for (obtaining novichok [italics]) due to their adeptness for poisoning knowledge, and Berezovsky was intimately linked to Chechnya and to Litvinenko.

 

[badger2]

Above, May's ultimatum: If the nerve agent was acquired clandestinely and used by other than Russian intelligence, UK's reprisals would be over-reacting. We smell the reverse discrimination of Porton Down.

Trump's recent announcement about the embassy in Jerusalem comes on the heels of a cocaine bust at the Russian embassy in Argentina. The "Jewish question" is being reified in the media by Trump and Putin (Russian hackers were Jewish) as Trump then moves on the Secretary of State and CIA positions.

You seem to be quite fixated on this 'Jewish Connection'? Since the fact that one has Jewish DNA does not in any way mean that all Jews are bound by some secret conspiracy. Which is to say, that just because a hacker may be Jewish..it may or it may not mean anything at all.

Occam's Razor. Most likely suspects Putin and/or the Russian Oligarchs--followed by a personal vendetta. Given the difficulty of obtaining the nerve agent--I think it was Putin..and he used that agent deliberately to rub it in our faces.

It's the Jews! Its the Chechyans! It's anyone but Putin!

Putin would never bring up "Jewish" in the media for a photo-op. Anna Politkovskaya was killed on his birthday, and Condoleeza Rice visited where Anna worked in Moscow.
