James Boswell â Whitney Webbâs Dark Winterâs tale of smallpox, Amerithrax and Covid-19 â Is the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 a naturally occurring variant or was it deliberately engineered? The question is straightforward and finally there can only be one answer. However, governments in the West and the media seem determined to have it both ways. On the one hand they have repeatedly denounced reports that Covid-19 may be a bioweapon as âfake newsâ, discrediting sources as âconspiracy theoristsâ, while on the other hand, they are slowly planting the idea that the virus may indeed have escaped from a top level biosafety (BSL-4) lab in Wuhan. As far back as April 7th, Sky News Australia was already muddying the waters with a news story entitled âEvidence mounts COVID-19 came from a lab in Wuhanâ. The evidence it presents is scant to say the least and the supposed ârevelationâ that âbat was never a food source in Wuhanâ was not a revelation at all, but an established fact. Host of the show, Andrew Bolt, leaps from here, however, to the conclusion that ââa nearby laboratory just 300 metres from the marketâ was more likely responsible for the outbreak.â While âanother nearby lab, the Wuhan Institute of Virology, bragged about discovering and identifying âa large number of new bat and rodent virusesâââ¦
â Covid 19 a biological weapon? Beijing believes COVID-19 is a biological weapon. Chinese spokesmanâs speech removes hypothesis of biological war from the list of âconspiracy theoriesâ. From conspiracy theory to geopolitical realism, the possibility to treat COVID-19 as a biological weapon has been finally accepted in the public sphere. The recent statement by the Chinese spokesman Zhao Lijian, formally accusing the US of bringing coronavirus to China, has highlighted a series of new opinions about the pandemic. The hypothesis of biological warfare behind the global pandemic had already been raised by Russian experts some weeks ago. Like any opinion that is slightly different from the official version of Western governments and their media agencies, the thesis was ridiculed and accused of being a âconspiracy theoryâ. However, as soon as the official spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the second largest economic power on the planet publishes a note attesting to this possibility, it leaves the sphere of âconspiracy theoriesâ to enter the scene of public opinion and official government versionsâ¦.
Review of this weekâs appalling BBC propaganda drama â The Salisbury Poisoningsâ and a look at what an intelligence insider has to say about the credibility of the official story â itâs only for the stupid people! â Skripal case: Israeli expert on the work of the special agents â If you need someone to eliminate, then this is a very serious operation, which is being prepared for a long time. A very significant material and human resource is allocated. We are talking about dozens of employees. On the territory of this state, an âadvanced command postâ is being created. In the operation, a technical support group, a logistic group, a cover group, an external surveillance group and a group of performers are involved. The performers themselves appear at the very last moment. They do not go anywhere, lighting up on cameras, do not use public transport, but move on rented cars, which they do not rent themselves. And the more they will not stop in hotels, but will live on safe houses provided by the logistics group. Such groups do not come under the passport of their country, do not go to the embassy for obtaining a visa, leaving fingerprints. This is complete nonsense. Professionals do not work that way. If the GRU acted, both the killers and the other participants in the operation would come to the UK on the passports of other countries that have visa-free relations with it. Here, two alleged GRU officers go to the embassy, ââleave their fingerprints there, get a visa, stop at the hotel, pass under all the cells. This you will not find even in ladiesâ detective novelsâ¦.
Another Perspective on the supposed ânerve agentâ poisoning of Sergei and Julia Skripal on 4th March 2018 in Salisbury by the Saker â The Alternative Skripal Narrative by Michael Antony for The Saker Blog â â¦The thing that proves this was a British crime not a Russian one is the fact that Yulia was a prime target. The Russians had no motive to eliminate her, but if they had, they could have done it in Russia with a simple road accident with no questions asked. Only the British had to do it in Britain, since they didnât have the resources in place to do it in Russia. And if she was not a prime target but collateral damage, why was Sergei not attacked when he was alone? Why wait for her to visit him? The fact they were both targeted the day after she arrived in Britain puts MI6âs signature all over it. She was a danger to MI6 because she knew of Sergeiâs plan to return to Russia and trash the Steele Dossier, and she had to be stopped from revealing this to the world when he was killed. Silencing her at the same time was just as important to MI6 as silencing himâ¦
Were the 2018 Salisbury poisoningsâ part of MI6/CIA Operation Beluga? BOMBSHELL: French Counter-Terror Boss: âI Have Proof Who Killed Litvinenko â It Wasnât Russiaâ He says it was done by US and UK secret services and that he is going to go public with the evidence â A former French official who has had senior roles in internal security and terror fighting has come forward with a remarkable statement: that he has documentary evidence proving that Alexander Litvinenko, the Russian spy who died from polonium poisoning, was killed by US and UK special services. In a lengthy interview which is soon to be published, he goes further, saying that Litvinenkoâs murder was a special sevices operation designed to defame Russia and Vladimir Putin, that the notorious Russian oligarch Boris Berezovsky was involved, and was himself killed by MI6 when he became a liability. He even says he knows the code name of the operation: âBelugaâ. News of this broke on Sunday, March 27 in an article by William Dunkerley titled âOperation Beluga: A US-UK Plot to Discredit Putin and Destabilize the Russian Federationâ¦.

Final agony of RAF volunteer killed by sarin nerve gas â in Britain â As the inquest into the death of a âhuman guinea pigâ at Porton Down opens, a witness breaks 50 yearsâ silence to recount the horrors he saw âI had never seen anyone die before and what that lad went through was absolutely horrific⦠it was awful,â he said. âIt was like he was being electrocuted, his whole body was convulsing. I have seen somebody suffer an epileptic fit, but you have never seen anything like what happened to that lad⦠the skin was vibrating and there was all this terrible stuff coming out of his mouth⦠it looked like frogspawn or tapioca.â Thornhill recalls a number of scientists standing around Maddison. âYou could see the panic in their eyes â one guy looked as if he was trying to hold his head down. There were four of us who picked him off the floor and put him in the back of the ambulance. He was still having these violent convulsions and we drove him to the medical unit at Porton.â By the time he reached the unit, it had been cleared of other casualties and there were men in white coats standing around a bed. Thornhill was told to carry Maddison over and it was then that the young ambulance driver saw a second image that would haunt him for decades. âI saw his leg rise up from the bed and I saw his skin begin turning blue. It started from the ankle and started spreading up his leg. It was like watching somebody pouring a blue liquid into a glass, it just began filling up. I was standing by the bed gawping. It was like watching something from outer space and then one of the doctors produced the biggest needle I had ever seen. It was the size of a bicycle pump and went down onto the ladâs body. The sister saw me gawping and told me to get out.ââ¦
