Dr James Haslam (lead image) was the doctor in charge at Radnor Ward, the intensive care unit of Salisbury District Hospital, when Dawn Sturgess was admitted on June 30, 2018, and died on July 8. She is the woman whom the British Prime Minister, Metropolian Police, Crown Prosecution Service, and Wiltshire county coroner David Ridley, have all declared to have died from poisoning by a Russian-made nerve agent called Novichok. This, they all say, was brought to the UK by Russian soldiers who have been named and officially charged, not with killing Sturgess, but with trying to kill Sergei and Yulia Skripal, and leaving behind their weapon, a counterfeit bottle of perfume, where Sturgess and her companion found it several weeks later.
Haslam is so important to the story of this Russian weapon, which hadn't existed until Sturgess used it on her herself and then died from it, that the state British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) assigned Haslam a part in each of the three episodes of the film called "
The Salisbury Posionings". Haslam is the only doctor from the intensive care unit treating the Skripals and Sturgess who is depicted in the BBC drama. The film will be
broadcast next week.
Haslam himself
claims he "led the team who cared for the critically ill patients during the Salisbury Nerve Agent Incident." A committed Christian, Haslam also gives public lectures on "how his faith and interests in challenging medicine and ethics played a role at the centre of this major incident."
Before the make-believe Haslam does what the BBC scripted him to do in the movie, Haslam prepared a research report for his medical colleagues entitled "Organophosphorus nerve agent poisoning: managing the poisoned patient." It was published in the
British Journal of Anaesthesia, on April 5, 2019, with three co-authors.
These three are military agents - one from the Royal Navy working on a Defence Ministry grant; one from the Ministry's Defence Science and Technology Laboratory, the chemical warfare establishment at Porton Down; and one from the Royal Centre for Defence Medicine, an armed forces hospital in Birmingham. Discovered by Liane Theuer, the report can be read

Comment: Kudos to Judicial Watch for not letting go of such a momentous scandal. They are exposing the rot that pervaded the Executive, DOJ and FBI.
