According to the official UK narrative, Sergey and Yulia Skripal, along with police detective Nick Bailey, were poisoned by a deadly military-grade novichock nerve agent.
No antidote exists, no recovery possible. The official narrative failed to explain exposure causes death in minutes.
From March 4 to recent days, the Tory narrative changed several times, explained in a late March article as follows:
First it was claimed father and daughter Skripal were poisoned by a military-grade nerve agent while eating lunch at a Salisbury restaurant.
The narrative switched to Yulia unwittingly transporting the nerve agent planted in her luggage on her flight from Moscow to London.
The story then shifted to Skripal’s BMW, the deadly toxin smeared on its handle, suggesting he and Yulia were poisoned this way.
Next came the claim about the nerve agent perhaps in aerosolized form affecting them through the vehicle’s ventilation system.
The latest official version claims the alleged nerve agent was smeared on the front door of Skripal’s home.
If any of the above accounts were valid, the Skripals, Bailey and at least 38 reported others exposed to the same toxin would be dead – surely many others as well.
Yet a month later, no one died. Bailey recovered enough to be discharged from hospitalization. Yulia’s doctor said she improved markedly. Days earlier, Sergey was reported in stable condition.
The military-grade poisoning claim is a bald-faced lie, obvious to anyone following events and reports.
On Thursday, UK and other Western media said Yulia issued a public statement for the first time, indicating she’s recovering, still convalescing, adding she’s “glad to say (her) strength is growing daily.”
Tass cited a Rossiya-1 TV report, saying Sergey Skripal’s niece Viktoria Skripal spoke to Yulia by phone, the recorded conversation not yet verified.
The woman Viktoria reportedly spoke to identified herself as Yulia Skripal, saying she’s doing fine. Her father Sergey “is all right,” adding:
“Everyone is recovering. Everyone survived…No irreparable harm was done. That’s all. I will soon be discharged from the hospital.”
If the conversation is verified as accurate by both Viktoria and Yulia, it’s more clear proof along with what’s already known that the March 4 incident was a false flag – a geopolitical hoax, almost surely cooked up by Washington and Britain well before what happened occurred.
The Skripal incident follows numerous other fabricated anti-Russia accusations – including about “aggression” in Ukraine, “annexing” Crimea, MH-17’s downing, meddling in America’s 2016 presidential election and upcoming November midterm ones, along with interfering in European and upcoming Mexican elections, Brexit, alleged mass doping of Russian athletes, Russian trolls, cyberwar, sabotage, hybrid warfare and the Skripal incident.
None of the above accusations hold water. Russia is pilloried for its sovereign independence, opposition to Washington’s imperial agenda, and refusal of Vladimir Putin to bow to its will.
The Skripal affair isn’t the likely last attempt to vilify the country and its leadership, much more likely to come – a hugely dangerous strategy risking East/West confrontation.
The road to war is paved with ill intentions. Challenging Russia belligerently risks world war.
What’s inconceivable is ominously possible.
