In its most pointed criticism of Russia to date, on Wednesday the White House said in a statement that it agreed with the British government's assessment that Russia was responsible for the poisoning of a former Russian spy and his daughter in the United Kingdom.

"The United States shares the United Kingdom's assessment that Russia is responsible for the reckless nerve agent attack on a British citizen and his daughter, and we support the United Kingdom's decision to expel Russian diplomats as a just response," White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in the statement.

"This latest action by Russia fits into a pattern of behavior in which Russia disregards the international rules-based order, undermines the sovereignty and security of countries worldwide, and attempts to subvert and discredit Western democratic institutions and processes. The United States is working together with our allies and partners to ensure that this kind of abhorrent attack does not happen again."
white house statement
Until Tuesday night, the White House had avoided pointing the finger at Russia for the attack, in which a former Russian spy was poisoned with a nerve agent near his home in southern England, and which the UK concluded was orchestrated by the Kremlin, despite offering no proof and refusing to comply with Russian demands that the alleged toxin be produced.

Comment: There goes Haley again running off her mouth without having a clue as to what she's talking about. From Fort Russ:
Russia's permanent representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzia, was surprised at the words of Nikki Haley, who, in his words acted as an "experienced chemist." In her speech, Haley said that Washington is in solidarity with London "in the matter of the chemical attack in Salisbury."

In response, Vasily Nebenzia cited the conclusion of professional chemists that London could have its own formula of the nerve agent "Novice", which allegedly poisoned Sergei Skripal.

Nebenzia noted that these "amazing events" are taking place before our eyes where the presumption of innocence is replaced by a presumption of guilt.

"Today, Ambassador Haley, as an experienced chemist, an expert in the field of chemistry, has told us about the crimes of Russia. We have known for a long time that you, in order to establish the perpetrators, do not need any investigation, " he said.

Best of the Web: Britain's presumption of guilt towards Russia invites conflict and chaos

Boris is already in the trenches. Why aren't you?
Britain's abandonment of due process has taken a dangerous and reckless leap, with Theresa May declaring economic sanctions and diplomatic expulsions for Russia's "failure" to respond to allegations over the Skripal poisoning.

Provocatively, Moscow was given a 24-hour deadline to "answer" charges leveled by the British government that it was responsible for the attempted murder of a Russian double agent, Sergei Skripal, who had been living in England since 2010 after a spy-swap deal.

Skripal (66) and his 33-year-old daughter Yulia were apparently stricken with a deadly nerve agent in his adopted hometown of Salisbury on March 4 while strolling through a public park. The pair have been receiving treatment in intensive care ever since.

Earlier this week, the British prime minister asserted that the chemical weapon used was a Soviet-era nerve agent, Novichok, and - on that basis - the Russian state was implicated in the attempted murder of the former spy. Skripal had been exiled from Russia in 2010 after he was convicted of treason as a double agent for British intelligence MI6.

A Central Election Commission member has described a recent set of instructions for protests at presidential polls, published on a German media website, as a blatant attempt to interfere with Russia's internal affairs.

"They are trying to persuade our people not to take part in the elections. It is absolutely obvious that they are trying to influence the polls, to prevent people from going to ballot stations," Sergey Sirotkin said, according to RIA Novosti.

The election official was commenting on an article titled "Five Strategies of Protest Behavior at the Russian Presidential Elections," which was posted on the Russian-language website of German public news corporation Deutsche Welle (DW).

The US has announced sanctions against several Russian individuals and entities, according to a statement from the Treasury Department. The new measures are described as "cyber-related."

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov responded by saying Moscow is calmly preparing retaliatory measures over the sanctions, as cited by Interfax.

The sanctioned bodies include Russia's Main Intelligence Directorate, as well as its Internet Research Agency. A total of 14 individuals involved with these entities have also been added to the US Treasury's Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (SDN).

Yawn! CNN says FBI tried to contact jailed 'sex coaches' who claim proof of Russian interferences

The FBI has tried to meet with two self-proclaimed "sex coaches" held in a Thai jail who claim to have information about Russian efforts to meddle in the 2016 election, CNN reported Tuesday.

FBI agents contacted Thailand's Immigration Bureau last week to try to set up a meeting with Anastasia Vashukevich and Alexander Kirillov, both Belarusian citizens, CNN reported, citing a high-level Thai official.


Comment: The FBI is really scraping the bottom of the barrel!


Thai officials turned down that request, however, because only the detainees' lawyers and family members are permitted access to them.

Comment: So a couple of totally random people who make a living out of 'sex coaching' and who are jailed in Thailand will finally provide some proof of Russian 'meddling' in the US election. No, really! It's not like this is a CNN nothing-burger or something like that! Oh wait...

Peak hysteria: 'Dead spies, hybrid warfare and meddling diplomats' - MPs unleash anti-Russian onslaught in Commons

As if Theresa May's raft of sanctions weren't enough, MPs are now calling for more punishment to stop the perceived Russian threat. The usual anti-Russian MPs told the Commons exactly how Britain should take on Vladimir Putin.

UK Prime Minister Theresa May has ruled that Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were poisoned, "likely" by the Russian state, announcing a raft of sanctions in response. Luckily, she had MPs on hand to help her come up with more responses if, in her words, there is "any further Russian provocation."

No proof has been publicly presented confirming it was Russia - but why should that stop MPs? Tory MP for Maldon John Whittingdale came up with the perfect solution to end aggression from Russia - more of the BBC.

Leaked photos show Trump associate, who was arrested for child porn, partying with Bill Clinton

"It's a Big Club and You Ain't in It"! - George Carlin

Damning photos were recently leaked showing the behind the scenes nature of the political elite and the facade that is the two-party paradigm. The photos show Bill Clinton partying with a rather unscrupulous individual at an elite island resort in Punta Cana who is tied to both the Clintons, President Donald Trump-and pedophilia.

As the political blowhards attempt to claim there is a difference between the left and the right, the truth is far different. While they may act like they hate each other in public, behind closed doors, the majority of politicians rub elbows and agree on what really matters to them, pleasing their corporate masters and expanding the empire.

The man in the photograph below proves this notion as he was a regular visitor to the White House and former associate of White House adviser and presidential son-in-law Jared Kushner. His name is George Nader.

Yet another reason UK's 'Novichok' claims are bunk: Formulas for nerve agents in question can be bought for $30 on Amazon


Moon of Alabama

Theresa May Colin Powell
The British government claims that 'Novichok' poisons, developed 30 years ago in the Soviet Union, affected a British double agent. But such substances may not exist at all. The British government further says that the Russian government is responsible for the incident and has announced penalties against the country.

A comparable incident happened in 2001 in the United States. Envelopes with Anthrax spores were sent to various politicians. Some people died. The White House told the FBI to blame al-Qaeda but the Anthrax turned out to be from a U.S. chemical-biological weapon laboratory. The case is still unsolved.

The 'whistle-blower' Vil Mirzanyanov who 'revealed' the 'Novichok' program and its poisons published chemical formulas that should enable any decent laboratory to reproduce them. But neither the existence of the claimed program nor the existence of the alleged substances were ever accepted by the scientific community. The Russian government says it does not know the program nor the alleged poisons.

The highly constructed drama around the alleged poisoning of a British double agent Skripal and his daughter has thus turned into a surreal play. The British government has so far given no evidence that the Skripal's were poisoned at all, or that they were poisoned by someone else. No detailed medical bulletin was published. The British accusations against Russia lets one assume that a suicide attempt has been excluded. Why?

Comment: May has only succeeded in making herself and her government look like a band of dimwitted 6-year-olds.

The bit about France is interesting, though:
