Everything Keeps Changing About The Skripal Narrative Except “Russia Definitely Did It”

Summary

The Skripal poisoning case narrative has undergone numerous revisions, but the UK government remains steadfast in its assertion that Russia is the perpetrator.

Abstract

The Skripal poisoning case has been marked by a series of contradictory reports regarding the source and method of poisoning, with theories ranging from the family's car door handle, air vents in their car, a suitcase, a miniature drone, to the latest being either a cereal brought by a family friend or the front door handle. Despite the changing details, UK officials have consistently maintained that the Russian government is responsible, leading to a global diplomatic response including the expulsion of Russian diplomats. The certainty expressed by UK authorities in the face of an otherwise uncertain investigation has raised questions about the motivations behind the attribution of blame to Russia, especially in the context of escalating cold war tensions and the potential use of the incident to unite Europe against a common adversary.

Opinions

The author suggests that the UK's insistence on Russian culpability despite the inconsistent reports undermines the credibility of the investigation.
The timing of the attack on a former double agent who had been living peacefully in the UK for years is seen as suspicious, given the current geopolitical tensions.
The narrative surrounding the Skripal case is viewed as being used to further cold war agendas and to solidify alliances against Russia.
There is skepticism regarding the UK's swift conclusion about Russia's involvement, with implications that the situation may be manipulated to serve the interests of the US-centralized empire.
The author implies that historical precedents of the US-centralized empire using lies, propaganda, and false flags to justify actions should caution observers against accepting the official narrative at face value.
The portrayal of dissenting voices, such as opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn, as Russian puppets is criticized as a means to stifle questioning and debate.
The author emphasizes the importance of maintaining skepticism and critical thinking when the official narrative lacks consistency and transparency.

Everything Keeps Changing About The Skripal Narrative Except “Russia Definitely Did It”

The latest news update on the notorious Skripal case is that the source of the alleged Novichok poisoning may have been a cereal brought to the Skripals by a family friend who happens to work for a major Russian medical company, hospitalizing them both as well as a police sergeant for some reason. Less than 24 hours earlier, we were informed that the Novichok nerve agent was actually likely administered via the handle of the front door, which according to the New York Times would have been an operation that “is seen as so risky and sensitive that it is unlikely to have been undertaken without approval from the Kremlin.”

This is par for course in the immensely plot hole-riddled Skripal case, which since the story broke has been an endless barrage of ever-changing contradictory narratives the details of which nobody is certain of to any degree at all… except that Russia definitely did it.

Nothing about the reports on this case are consistent except the adamant insistence in each and every one that it could only have been inflicted by the Kremlin. Of this the officials of Great Britain are so certain that a worldwide expulsion of Russian diplomats from allies of the United Kingdom was unquestionably the right move to make in a steadily escalating cold war environment. If you disagree and think a little more investigation is in order, then you are clearly a Russian puppet and should be depicted in Soviet-looking garb over a red-colored Kremlin skyline, as was opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn by the BBC last month.

Isn’t that interesting? Isn’t it so very, very interesting how the people investigating this attack still don’t know their asses from their elbows when it comes to any aspect of the case, but it is absolutely beyond question that the Russian government was definitely with 100 percent certainty responsible for the poisoning?

Even with two completely contradictory stories like the latest ones we’re being offered, Russia is definitely, definitely responsible. One traces back to a suspicious Russian national, the other an operation “so risky and sensitive that it is unlikely to have been undertaken without approval from the Kremlin.” They can’t both be true; either the nerve agent was placed in the cereal or on the door. But in both cases we’re led to be glaring at Russia for its heinous attack.

Very interesting indeed. Perhaps even more interesting is the fact that Skripal had been living unmolested in the UK for years, and yet now just as the US-centralized empire begins worrying about losing its dominant position on the world stage a long-irrelevant former double agent is attacked by a terrifying nerve agent with a Russian-sounding name that both fails to kill him and implicates the Russian government (and, as an added bonus, could have been made by anyone). Very interesting how UK officials are now working to unite Europe against Russia at just the time where that is a strategically essential thing for the western empire to be doing right now.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: truth is the first casualty of war, especially cold war. The US-centralized empire has an extensive history of using lies, propaganda and false flags to manufacture public support for its agendas, and all of those things are essential components in cold war. There’s no reason whatsoever to give these people the benefit of the doubt when things smell fishy.
