“Comrade Putin, we have successfully stockpiled novichoks in secret for ten years, and kept them hidden from the OPCW inspectors. We have also trained our agents in secret novichok assassination techniques. The programme has cost hundreds of millions of dollars, but now we are ready. Naturally, the first time we use it we will expose our secret and suffer massive international blowback. So who should be our first target? The head of a foreign intelligence agency? A leading jihadist rebel in Syria? A key nuclear scientist? Even a Head of State?”
“No, Tovarich. There is this old retired guy I know living in Salisbury. We released him from jail years ago…”
WARNING If you harbour any doubts at all about the plausibility of Mr Johnson’s story, you are a crazed conspiracy theorist and a traitor. Plus you will never, ever get employed in the BBC or corporate media.

This is an astonishing claim and requires close investigation. If this information comes from MI5 or MI6, there is a process of inter-departmental clearance that has to be gone through before it can be put in the public domain – even by a Minister – which is known as “Action-on”. I have been through the process personally many times when working as head of the FCO Section of the Embargo Surveillance Centre, monitoring Iraqi arms acquisitions. It is not, unless actually at war, a Saturday night process – it would have had to have been done on Friday.
So why is this essential information being released not to Parliament on Friday, but on Andrew Marr’s sofa early on a Sunday morning, backed up with a Sunday morning official statement? This is very unusual. Furthermore, it is absolutely incompatible with what I was told last week by FCO sources – they did not know this information, and one of them certainly would have if it was based on MI6 or GCHQ reporting.Comment

Why isn't anyone foaming at the mouth over the Russian election?
They used blockchain for the exit polls

Everyone knows Putin is bent - his sole interest is in keeping power and the trappings which go with it.
He would do a Stalin and kill 30 million if he had the bullets.Comment

Vlad is genuinely popular because Russia is surrounded by NATO bases and increasing hostility and provocation from our lot and they see him as a tough guy who can handle the west and protect Russia. Yeah he's corrupt but so what? You want honest leaders how about you focus on your own ones first?"Is someone you don't like allowed to say something you don't like?

Originally posted by Jog On View PostOther thing is that our lot are just as bent so we have absolutely no moral high ground to judge anyone. Maybe if we cleaned up our glass house we could throw a few stones. Yes Stalin was bad but so are Bush/Blair (and all other since including current office holders).
