In episode 7, the @bbc series 'Mayday' actually obfuscates key evidence with respect to the alleged chemical attack in Douma, 2018, which has been the focus of research by https://syriapropagandamedia.org . @chloehadj @ruskin147 @Tim_Hayward_ Some facts:- https://twitter.com/ruskin147/status/1328596657139802114
1) When requested by Professor Paul McKeigue to ask whether Raed Saleh of the White Helmets knew the burial location of the Douma victims, @chloehadj evaded as can be seen here:- https://syriapropagandamedia.org/public-statements-and-media-appearances/email-correspondence-with-chloe-hadjimatheou-senior-reporter-bbc-current-affairs-24-july-to-17-august-2020
2) https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p08xs7y2 fails to address the fact that BBC producer @Dalatrm has stated, repeatedly, that the hospital scenes at Douma were staged @bbclysedoucet @NikGowing @BreesAnna @cerumol
3) This is critical information because, if the hospital scenes were staged, so too were the scenes at location 2 (reported around the same time as the hospital scenes) in which 43 decedents were filmed. https://twitter.com/Dalatrm/status/1095677403198906369?s=20
4) @Dalatrm has refused to pass this information to either the @opcw or journalists researching this issue whilst a leaked toxicology report from NATO toxicologists states clearly the victims were not killed at location 2 by chlorine gas. https://wikileaks.org/opcw-douma/document/actual_toxicology_meeting_redacted/ @LenP91535865
5) If not killed at location 2 by chlorine gas, they must have been killed in some other manner and a full discussion can be found in this presentation to the Harvard-Sussex prog. on chemical and biological weapons:- http://syriapropagandamedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/mckeigueSussex-2-2.pdf
6) This presentation was at the invitation of the leading weapons expert the late Julian Perry Robinson who was supportive of the working group research on this issue https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/may/08/julian-perry-robinson-obituary.
7) The conduct of the @bbc is consistent with a broader pattern of deception through obfuscation and censorship of key information regarding Douma and the @opcw investigation @RealDeeptiC @garethrw @RobertF40396660
8) This includes multiple procedural and scientific flaws relating to the Final Report and which were reported to the @couragefound by an OPCW person:- https://www.couragefound.org/2019/10/opcw-panel-statement/
9) As reported by @ClarkeMicah, an unknown OPCW person secretly redacted the original interim report and attempted to publish it. The redacted report obfuscated key information that brought into doubt the alleged attack https://hitchensblog.mailonsunday.co.uk/2019/11/new-sexed-up-dossier-furore-explosive-leaked-email-claims-that-un-watchdogs-report-into-alleged-poison-gas-attack-by-assad-w.html
10) The OPCW failed to consider its own engineering report that contradicted the Final Report's claims regarding the cylinders allegedly dropped from helicopters:- https://syriapropagandamedia.org/working-papers/assessment-by-the-engineering-sub-team-of-the-opcw-fact-finding-mission-investigating-the-alleged-chemical-attack-in-douma-in-april-2018
11) The engineering report questioned whether the cylinder at location 2 could have caused the observed damage in the roof
12) And it also questioned the feasibility of the cylinder at location 4 performing a remarkable sideways bounce to land on a bed
13) Interestingly, clear evidence that the cylinder at location 2 was actually manipulated by hand was deleted by @bellingcat, as discussed here by @MichaKobs https://twitter.com/MichaKobs/status/984596184428924928?s=20
14) this evidence shows the cylinder being rotated un order to line up a dent with a steel bar, and then tipping it so that the gas nozzle is pointing into the hole in the ceiling
15) Obfuscation and censorship relating also to chemistry results and witness testimony was documented by the @couragefound panel:- https://www.couragefound.org/2019/10/analytical-points-opcw-panel/
16) Against this backdrop of suppressed evidence, the conduct of senior management at the OPCW needs to be investigated. We know that senior staff are aware of serious problems within the organisation; as indicated in this email from a senior official
17) In recent weeks an OPCW person leaked disinformation to @bellingcat who then used this to try an smear one of its most experienced former scientists. As reported by @aaronjmate, the leaked material appears to have been aimed at misleading the DG https://thegrayzone.com/2020/10/28/draft-debacle-bellingcat-smears-opcw-whistleblower-journalists-with-false-letter-farcical-claims/
18) This incident confirms that someone within the OPCW is using @bellingcat in order to spread disinformation and, apparently, also passing misleading information to the Director General of the @opcw @UK_OPCW @CanadaOPCW @NLatOPCW @China_OPCW
