Were the Skripals exposed to Fentanyl drug? Another theory in the perplexing Salisbury poisoning case

salisbury skripal poisoning
The UK government is definitely conducting a cover up of the actual events around the alleged poisonings of Sergei and Yulia Skripal.

I say "alleged" because there is no actual hard evidence, that we would expect to see, if the Skripal's had actually been poisoned.

There are no pictures on the net of the Skripals collapsed on the park bench. We would expect members of the public to take pictures of such an unusual scene. Salisbury is an affluent mostly middle class town and its Town Centre is definitely not a "Drugs Ghetto" where you see people collapsed in the street all the time.

There are not even any to camera interviews of any members of the public, who the government claim cared for the Skripal's for 15 or 20 minutes before the Paramedics and Ambulance arrived.

There is only one written report in the State Propaganda Organ Fake News BBC of an alleged anonymous doctor, who allegedly claimed to have treated Yulia Skripal and put her in the recovery position at the park bench. The evidentiary value of this BBC report is zero. The BBC lie for the government ALL of the time.

Killary still making bank: Dems paying millions for new Clinton org's email list according to FEC documents

Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton speaks onstage at the Paley Center for Media on Nov. 13, 2017 in New York City.
Heading into the 2018 midterms, with Democrats hoping to take back the House of Representatives and even make a run at the Senate, the party has spent more than $2 million worth of campaign resources on payments to Hillary Clinton's new group, Onward Together, according to Federal Election Commission filings and interviews with people familiar with the payments.

The Democratic National Committee is paying $1.65 million for access to the email list, voter data, and software produced by Hillary for America during the 2016 presidential campaign, Xochitl Hinojosa, a spokesperson for the DNC, told The Intercept. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has paid more than $700,000 to rent the same email list.

Clinton is legally entitled to rent her list to the party, rather than hand it over as a gift, but in 2015, Barack Obama gave his email list, valued at $1,942,640, to the DNC as an in-kind contribution. In 2013 and 2014, OFA had similarly made in-kind contributions exceeding $3.4 million for uses of the list that cycle.

Comment: Killary just can't help her thieving ways, can she? The best thing the DNC could do for itself is to recognize her for the war-mongering, psycho harpy that she is and ditch her post-haste.

Rome lived upon its principal till ruin stared it in the face. Industry is the only true source of wealth, and there was no industry in Rome. By day the Ostia road was crowded with carts and muleteers, carrying to the great city the silks and spices of the East, the marble of Asia Minor, the timber of the Atlas, the grain of Africa and Egypt; and the carts brought out nothing but loads of dung. That was their return cargo.

¬ The Martyrdom of Man, by Winwood Reade (1871)
There is the visible government situated around the Mall in Washington, and then there is another, more shadowy, more indefinable government that is not explained in Civics 101 or observable to tourists at the White House or the Capitol. The former is traditional Washington partisan politics: the tip of the iceberg that a public watching C-SPAN sees daily and which is theoretically controllable via elections. The subsurface part of the iceberg I shall call the Deep State, which operates according to its own compass heading regardless of who is formally in power. [1]

During the last five years, the news media has been flooded with pundits decrying the broken politics of Washington. The conventional wisdom has it that partisan gridlock and dysfunction have become the new normal. That is certainly the case, and I have been among the harshest critics of this development. But it is also imperative to acknowledge the limits of this critique as it applies to the American governmental system. On one level, the critique is self-evident: In the domain that the public can see, Congress is hopelessly deadlocked in the worst manner since the 1850s, the violently rancorous decade preceding the Civil War.

Yes, there is another government concealed behind the one that is visible at either end of Pennsylvania Avenue, a hybrid entity of public and private institutions ruling the country...

Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) has claimed responsibility for two bombings in the Afghan capital, Kabul that have left at least 26 people dead, including nine journalists.

The first attack was carried out by a suicide bomber riding a motorcycle, according to multiple reports. In the aftermath of the attack, journalists rushed to the scene. They then fell victim to a second suicide bomber who appeared to deliberately target the press, the interior ministry spokesman, Najib Danesh, told Reuters.

The attacker presented media credentials to the police and joined a group of journalists standing near the first blast site before detonating the second explosive. Nine were killed and several others were injured. Veteran AFP photographer Shah Marai and Radio Azadi journalist Maharam Durani were among the those killed.

Trump at a Michigan rally: If we don’t have funding for the Wall by September “we’ll close down the country”
For the second year US President Trump skipped the White House Correspondents' Ball to hold an election style rally with American workers in Michigan.

What did Trump miss by not attending the White House Correspondents' Ball? Here is just a small sample...


According to The Gateway Pundit, Trump decided it was a better use of his time to be with the people from Ypsilanti rather than the White House reporters who hate him.

FBI has officially become an American intelligence joke.

The once well respected intelligence agency has been so deeply infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) that it is now interviewing Russian MMA fighter Fedor Emelianenko, in their never ending quest to find some sort of connection between Trump and Putin.

Emelianenko's manager confirmed on Saturday that the Russian mixed martial arts fighter, who has meet with President Donald Trump, attorney Michael Cohen and Russian President Vladimir Putin, was questioned this week by the FBI.

Did Rudd take the rap for May? Calls for PM to resign over Windrush scandal

Calls for May to resign

UK Prime Minister Theresa May is once again facing calls to resign with many labeling her as ultimately responsible the Windrush scandal, despite ex-Home Secretary Amber Rudd already resigning over the matter.

Rudd resigned on Sunday night saying she had inadvertently misled the public over immigration removal targets. While many welcomed her decision to step down, others argued it does not go far enough as she is merely "carrying the can" for May's "racist" policies towards immigrants. During her time as Home Secretary, May infamously vowed to create a 'hostile environment' for illegal migrants.

Amelia Gentleman, the Guardian journalist who broke the story, said Rudd's resignation is an "extraordinary moment" for the people caught up in the scandal. She told Radio 4's Today program that while some from the Windrush community are "extremely relieved" the government is taking the issue seriously, they expressed dismay at the fact Rudd was the one stepping down rather than the PM.

F**k you Sunday Times, but the truth is winning

For months leftist analysts have been warning that the increasingly hysterical anti-Russia narratives being aggressively promoted by the western media would eventually be used to target the political left. Those warnings went largely unheeded in the United States where the Russiagate narrative was being ostensibly used to undermine the Trump administration, and the McCarthyite feeding frenzies which have become normalized for American audiences have now metastasized across the pond to the UK.

As a result, the Poms have now quickly found themselves in a political environment where anyone who remembers the Blair government's lies about Iraq is smeared as a "useful idiot", a private British citizen can be falsely labeled a Kremlin bot by a mainstream publication without retraction or apology, and a BBC reporter can admonish a veteran military analyst for giving a truthful analysis about the alleged Douma chemical attacks on the grounds that it could hurt the "information war" against Russia.

And now, in what is undeniably a whole new level of Russophobic shrillness, Russia is being blamed for the gains made last year by Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party.

His extremist ideology should have disqualified him for the job he'll hold as Washington's chief diplomat.

Confirmed on Thursday by a 57 - 42 vote, largely along party lines, he's the latest addition to Trump's war cabinet - his diabolical worldview incompatible with democratic values, rule of law principles and peace.

He's a West Point grad former combat officer, former House member and Trump's CIA director until stepping down for his new post.

During his 2010 congressional race against Raj Goyle, an Indian-America, he disgracefully called him a "turban topper." He called Obama an "evil Muslim communist."

In mid-March, Trump nominated him to succeed Rex Tillerson as secretary of state. On Monday, The Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved sending his nomination to the Senate for a full floor vote.

As CIA director, he was involved in extrajudicial killings and color revolution attempts to topple democratically leaders not beholden to Washington, along with other dirty tricks - a disturbing resume he'll bring to his new job as Washington's chief (undiplomatic) diplomat.
