Has the Corporate Media Caught Novichok Madness? George Butler, Tony Gosling The Secret Truth - FM radio show Austin Texas, USA Sat 07 April 2018
Johnson and May Hide as their Lies Dissolve 4 Apr, 2018 in Uncategorized by craig The government has attempted to control the narrative by finally admitting, as they have known for three weeks and just ahead of the OPCW experts coming out and saying so, that there is no evidence the substance used in the Salisbury attack was made in Russia. You can see the interview with the Chief Executive Officer of Porton Down only in this tweet from Sky here.
#Salisbury attack: Scientists have not been able to prove that Russia made the nerve agent used in the spy poisoning. Porton Down labs chief exec reveals the details in this interview pic.twitter.com/qFNgPlr6vS â Sky News (@SkyNews) April 3, 2018 If anyone can make a copy and send me, or make a safe permanent posting I can link to, I should be grateful (contact button top right). Only a very short clip is on Skyâs website and I am anxious to preserve it for reasons I shall explain.
In modern Tory Britain, it should be no surprise to anybody that, to be the Chief Executive of Britainâs chemical weapons establishment, they recruited a radio salesman:
Aitkenheadâs PR skills were clearly thought sufficient to get across the governmentâs key propaganda points, and his struggle to do this throughout the Sky interview is telling. Aitkenhead has been in an extremely difficult position for the past three weeks, standing between his scientists who are adamant they will not say the substance was made in Russia, and the government who have been pushing extremely hard for them to do so.
At 5 mins 30 sec into this interview Boris Johnson directly lies about what Porton Down had told him:
It is very plain that what Aitkenhead is saying to Sky is âthe scientists cannot establish it is from Russia. But the government claims to have intelligence sources that show that it is.â His struggle to fit the formulations he has been given to parrot this sense as more effective propaganda, into answers to the pretty good questions he is being asked, is almost comic: âummmâ and âerrrâ come into it a lot. You have to remember that the precise forms of words to be used in official parlance had been the subject of tense negotiation between the scientists and the Porton Down bureaucrats, and then between the Porton Down bureaucrats and MOD Whitehall officials, and then between MOD officials and FCO and security service officials in the Joint Intelligence Committee, before being signed off by ministers. It is a process I know intimately from the inside. This reconciliation of conflicting interests is why at the start Aitkenhead says it is âNovichokâ confidently, but at 1 min 30 sec in he says the more truthful âNovichok or from that familyâ, which accords with the evidence Porton Down gave to the High Court. https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2018/04/johnson-and-may-hide-as-their-lies-dissolve/
