With Porton Down, the biggest biological chemical lab in Western Europe, located 8 miles from Salisbury, is it a coincidence this happened so close. Readers might want to read comments by Craig Murray, former UK ambassador, about The Elephant in the Room :" Nerve agents including Sarin and VX are manufactured by the British Government in Porton Down, just 8 miles from where Sergei Skripal was attacked. The official British government story is that these nerve agents are only manufactured “To help develop effective medical countermeasures and to test systems”. VX is the agent that killed Kim Jung Un's brother. Also an article about Chemical Warfare by Dr K. Kaiser, Cdn. scientist, is worth a read.

“While the likelihood of a bioterrorist incident in Australia or New Zealand may seem remote…..”.

It does seem remote, but only because we still have a saner immigration policy than does the UK and Europe. However, with the 'Big Australia’ policies of both our irresponsible political parties, with immigrants arriving from the Third World and dysfunctional states, the law of averages says that we are increasing our chances of importing nut cases who will be a threat.

All immigration except that to fill Australia’s most urgent needs should cease forthwith. We have had small taste of basic terrorism by idiots. It's only a matter of time before smarter lunatics among inappropriate immigrants try their luck

While bioterrorism is a real threat not easily dismissed, we are more likely to be hit by a car crossing the street at Bondi Junction? Than become the target of some brain washed moron? XXX One recalls how easy it was for Bryant to walk into a crowed restaurant/café near Hobart and just start killing at close range, at will, while his victims cowered, waiting their turn for a bullet! XXX This was a native, born and bred Taswegian! XXX Proving that we don't need to focus almost exclusively on foreign born nut jobs when there are plenty right here just waiting the right brain washing/radicalization and the necessary means! XXX And the right criminal/bent cop connection? To replicate that that home grown terror? XXX Even so, we are at greater risk, I believe, from our own medley of super bugs and would do well to create efficacious remedies to those, as a more pragmatic response? XXX After all, we could if we so chose use them against any future combatants and would do well to have a good store of antidotes! XXX Alan B.

Novichok [1] being a nerve agent, is actually a CHEMICAL WEAPON [2]

hence the author should be talking CHEMICAL TERRORISM.

WMDs [3] are divided into Nuclear, Biological, Chemical and Radiological weapons.

To anyone who is well aware what "False Flag" atrocities are, this appears almost certainly another. Try googling 'false flags" for a long list of now obvious ones carried out on behalf of governments in the past. Is when an atrocity is covertly arranged for the purpose of falsely blaming someone and /or pursuing an agenda. Now look at likely agendas behind this alleged chemical attack against the ex Russian double agent and his daughter. The popularity of Theresa May's Conservative government has been very low. Something that will rally people behind a government is fear of or actually being attacked. Then there are good reasons for falsely blaming the Russians. Seems one that did not work was to try and discredit Russian President Vladimir Putin and reduce his popularity just before the recent Presidential election. Western powers would like to see "regime change" - including Putin replaced with a puppet and stooge as Boris Yeltsin was. Much more obliging to the interests of US corporations especially

However, it seems the main agenda is to beat up the idea of a military threat by and possible war against Russia. A major reason for this is that the militaries, especially of the US and NATO need a perceived enemy to justify their existence and continued funding. The military industrial complex also need ongoing threats to ensure continued demand for their products. Also, political leaders covertly acting on their behalf obviously often keep tensions high rather than genuinely try to diffuse them - as this helps continued arms sales. The White need people of the likes of US Ambassador to tha UN Nikki Haley to try and achieve this.

Onya Moscow mox :)
