Μια αποκαλυπτική έρευνα έκανε η γνωστή ιστοσελίδα moonofalabama.org η οποία αποδομεί την προβοκάτσια του δήθεν χημικού χτυπήματος στο Χαν Σεϊχούν της Συρίας χτυπώντας την στον ακρογωνιαίο λίθο της, το παρουσιαζόμενο ως χρησιμοποιηθέν αέριο.
Καταρχήν να αναφέρουμε ότι ο πρόεδρος της Συρίας, Μπασάρ αλ Ασαντ δήλωσε στο Ria Novosti ότι η Δαμασκός έχει στοιχεία πως τα χημικά στο Χάν Σεϊχούν έφτασαν εκεί από την Τουρκία.
Το moonofalabama.org συνέλεξε επί της ουσίας όλες τις επίσημες ανακοινώσεις και αναφορές των εμπλεκομένων φορέων μετά το υποτιθέμενο χτύπημα.
Το πόρισμα του OPCW (Οργανισμός κατά των Χημικών Οπλων) δεν αναφέρει πουθενά ότι έγινε επίθεση. Επίσης τρεις φορές κάνει λόγο για σαρίν ή χημικό στοιχείο σαν το σαρίν. Επίσης το moonofalabama.org υπογραμμίζει ότι η Δύση εμπόδισε τον Οργανισμό να διεξάγει μια πλήρη έρευνα παρά την πρόσκληση της Δαμασκού. Αντίθετα οι τρομοκράτες της Tahrir al-Sham δεν κάλεσαν τον οργανισμό. Επίπλεον δεν αναφέρεται πουθενά όσον αφορά τα δείγματα που εξετάστηκαν, πως περιήλθαν στην κατοχή του OPCW αφού δε μετέβη στο Ιντλίμπ κλιμάκιό του. Συνεπώς ποιος, που και πότε έλαβε δείγματα; Άλλωστε τα χημικά αυτά στοιχεία υποβαθμίζονται μέσα σε ώρες ή μέρες.
Ο πρώτος που μίλησε για χρήση σαρίν ήταν η Tahrir al-Sham, δηλαδή η Αλ Κάιντα, και μετά η Δύση υιοθέτησε την ανακοίνωση των τρομοκρατών. Αντίθετα χρησιμοποιήθηκε το ντοκούμεντο ενός ψευτογιατρού, τακφιριστή που σε ένα δήθεν νοσοκομείο όπου τάχα έσωζε κόσμο.
Μετά οι ΗΠΑ άρχισαν να μιλούν για "στοιχεία" ότι χρησιμοποιήθηκε σαρίν δίχως κανένα στοιχείο.
Ο Παγκόσμιος Οργανισμός Υγείας έκανε λόγο για "αναφορές ότι έγινε χημική επίθεση στη Συρία με τοξικά αέρια" δίχως σαρίν και χωρίς καν να διεξάγει δική του έρευνα όπως θα περίμενε κανείς.
Επίσης είναι εντυπωσιακό πως σχεδόν αμέσως μετά το "χτύπημα" νεκροί και τραυματίες μεταφέρθηκαν σε νοσοκομεία της Τουρκίας όταν η απόσταση είναι τουλάχιστον 3 ώρες δρόμος. Εν τω μεταξύ το τουρκικό κρατικό πρακτορείο Αναντολού μίλησε για επίθεση με χλωρίνη, όχι σαρίν στο πρώτο τηλεγράφημα.
Επιπρόσθετα η πρώτη ανακοίνωση του OPCW έκανε λόγο για χλωρίνη όπως επίσης και της τουρκικής κυβέρνησης που έστειλε σχετικό αίτημα για συζήτηση στο Συμβούλιο Ασφαλείας του ΟΗΕ στις 6/4 (το "χτύπημα" έγινε στις 4/4).
Οι Τούρκοι γιατροί μίλησαν για χλωρίνη ενώ πρέπει να υπογραμμισθεί πως χλωρίνη και σαρίν έχουν διαφορετικές παρενέργειες.
Επίσης το Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Emergency Response Database μίλησε για χλωρίνη.
Και κάπου εκεί η Αγκυρα αρχίζει να αλλάζει την ιστορία με το Υπουργείο Υγείας να μιλά για πρώτη φορά για χρήση σαρίν. Ωστόσο ο Π.Ο.Υ. διαψεύδει τμήμα της χαλκευμένης ανακοίνωσης διαψεύδοντας ότι έλαβε δείγματα.
Επιπλέον Denis O'Brien, (Ph.D., neuroscientist και neuro-pharmacologist) δίνει το τελειωτικό χτύπημα που τμήμα της είχαμε επισημάνει εξαρχής στη Freepen.gr. Το σαρίν μετά από 5 ώρες αρχίζει και διαλύεται. Οι διασώστες των Λευκών Κρανών που θεωρητικά έσπευσαν αμέσως, δεν έλαβαν ούτε ένα μέτρο προστασίας. Αλλά γιατί να λάβουν αφού έπαιζαν θέατρο και πρόκειται για κακούς ηθοποιούς; Επίσης ο O'Brien σημειώνει πως με βάση το οπτικό υλικό από τα θύματα, κανένα δεν παρουσιάζει συμπτώματα ότι εισέπνευσε αέριο σαρίν.
Και το τελειωτικό χτύπημα:
The samples given to the OPCW were taken
by Turkish personal in Turkey. The current head of the OPCW is a Turkish
civil servant. It is in the interest of Turkey and its terrorist
clients in Syria to blame the Syrian government for chemical weapon use.
Τα δείγματα δηλαδή στον OPCW δόθηκαν από τουρκικό προσωπικό, ενώ επικεφαλής του Οργανισμού είναι ένας Τούρκος δημόσιος λειτουργός. Συμφέρον δε της Τουρκίας και των τρομοκρατών είναι να κατηγορήσουν τη συριακή κυβέρνηση για χημική επίθεση.
Κλείνοντας και προτρέποντάς να διαβάσετε το πρωτότυπο αγγλικό κείμενο, θέτουμε ξεκάθαρα το ερώτημα, αν ακολουθήσουμε τη μυρωδιά του "σαρίν" μήπως θα φτάσουμε μέχρι την Αγκυρα; Το έχει ξανακάνει άλλωστε.
Chlorine, Not Sarin, Was Used In The Khan Sheikhun Incident
Those who blame the Syrian government for the allegedly chemical
incident in Khan Sheikhun on April 4 are now playing up the analysis of
the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW). But the
results of the OPCW tests are inconsistent with all observed and
reported technical and medical facts of the incident.
Yesterday the OPCW Director General Ambassador Üzümcü, a Turkish career diplomat and former Turkish ambassador to NATO, released the first analytic results of the OPCW investigation into the Khan Sheikhun incident:
The bio-medical samples collected from three victims during their autopsy were analysed at two OPCW designated laboratories. The results of the analysis indicate that the victims were exposed to Sarin or a Sarin-like substance. Bio-medical samples from seven individuals undergoing treatment at hospitals were also analysed in two other OPCW designated laboratories. Similarly, the results of these analyses indicate exposure to Sarin or a Sarin-like substance.
Director-General Üzümcü stated clearly: “The results of these analyses from four OPCW designated laboratories indicate exposure to Sarin or a Sarin-like substance.
"Sarin or Sarin-like substance" is noted three times a row. Sarin is
also mentioned in the headline. The OPCW director is pushing that meme -
hard.
But the OPCW did not conclude that a chemical attack occurred in Khan
Sheikhun. It suggested nothing about the incident itself. It only
talked about bio-medical samples of several persons - nothing more,
nothing less. It also did not give any hint of how much exposure the
persons in question received. Was it a minimal traceable amount that had
no effect on them or did they die from it? The OPCW does not say.
The Russian foreign ministry claims that "western" powers within the OPCW block a full-scale investigation of the incident.
The "sarin like substances" the OPCW mentions could be a different
chemical weapon than sarin - soman is a possible candidate. It would be
more consistent with the "smell" several witnesses described after the
incident (Sarin is odorless). Many general insecticides belong to the
same class of chemicals as sarin and soman. They are all
organophosphorus compounds. (Sarin was originally developed as an
insecticide). All of such compounds could be a source of the exposure
found by the OPCW. These chemicals degrade within hours or days. A
forensic analysis will not find the original substance but only
decomposition products of some organophosporus compound. That is the
reason why the OPCW result is not fixed on sarin but also mentions
"sarin like substances".
Another question is where those samples come from. Who "collected"
them? When? Where? And what is the chain of evidence that connects the
samples to the incident? The OPCW has not send an investigation team to
Khan Sheikhun. No samples were taken in Khan Sheikhun by its own
inspectors. While Russia and Syria have asked for OPCW inspections on
the ground, Tahrir al-Sham, the renamed al-Qaeda in Syria which controls
the Khan Sheikhun area, has not asked for inspectors. Without its
agreement any investigation mission is perceived as too dangerous. None
of the OPCW inspectors is interested in literally losing his head to
those terrorists.
Al-Qaeda propaganda organizations in Khan Sheikhun were the first to
claim that sarin was used on the ground. "Western" media and governments
later repeated those claims before any further investigations could
have been done. The very first claim I found was made by the former
British doctor Shajul Islam who works for the terrorists. This video of him of "doctors "and "patients" in an emergence room in Khan Sheikhun is pure theater, taken over a longer time period. The main presenter, Shajul Islam, is a well-known criminal Takfiri
with links to the British secret service. He talks of sarin even though
the "patients" around him show no signs of sarin effects and the
emergency personal in the video is unprotected against potent chemical
agents.
A White House assessment later claimed that it had evidence that
sarin was used. It used the claim to justify the bombing of the Syrian
military airport Al Syairat. But the White House assessment contains no evidence. It includes a number of factually false statements. It claims, for example:
]T]he World Health Organization stated on April 5 that its analysis of victims of the attack in Syria showed the had been exposed to nerve agents
The WHO report from April 5 stated no such thing. It only noted:
[S]erious reports of the use of highly toxic chemicals in an attack in Khan Shaykhun
It WHO made no analysis of its own. It only mentions "reports".
Immediately after the incident, bodies of dead and wounded were
brought to Turkey where they were taken into hospital. Al-Qaeda or
al-Qaeda aligned personal must have transported them. It is a three hour
car ride from Khan Sheikhun to the Turkish border.
The incident happened on April 4. First reports on that day by the Turkish government news agency Anadolu mentioned only chlorine:
At least 100 people were killed Tuesday when Assad regime warplanes carried out a chlorine gas attack in Syria’s northwestern Idlib province, according to Syrian opposition Health Minister Firas Jundi.
...
A local civil defense official earlier told Anadolu Agency a regime aircraft carried out a chlorine gas attack on the town early Tuesday.
The first OPCW statement on April 4 referred to chlorine, not sarin or similar:
The OPCW is investigating the incident in southern Idlib under the on-going mandate of the Fact-Finding Mission (FFM), which is “to establish facts surrounding allegations of the use of toxic chemicals, reportedly chlorine, for hostile purposes in the Syrian Arab Republic”.
The first report of the Turkish government also said chlorine. The UN
Security Council convened on April 6 to discuss the incident. The
Turkish newspaper Hurriyet reported:
Turkey sent a report to the United Nations just before a U.N. Security Council meeting to address accusations that the Syrian government staged a chemical weapons attack on April 4, stating that the gas used in the attack was chlorine gas. Turkey’s Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear teams (KBRN) prepared an initial report over the possible material of the alleged chemical attack, relying on the symptoms of and tests conducted on the victims and their testimonies.
The report stated that the initial findings of the tests conducted on around 30 victims brought to Turkey for treatment pointed to a chlorine gas attack.
Thirty victims were immediately brought to Turkey after the incident.
But the Turkish doctors and CBRN specialist did not consider sarin, but
chlorine gas -a much less potent chemical- to be involved. (Chlorine is
not designated a chemical weapon under the chemical warfare
regulations. This fact is often obfuscated for propaganda reasons. ) The
symptoms of chlorine ingestion and the effects of sarin exposure are
quite different. It is extremely unlikely that the emergency doctors and
chemical weapon specialists misdiagnosed the issue when the patients
arrived and were taken care of.
The 30 casualties arriving in Turkey were not the casualties of a sarin incident.
But then the Turkish Health Ministry started to tell a different story:
The poison used in the deadly chemical bomb attack in a rebel-held part of northern Syria this week was the banned nerve agent sarin, the Turkish Health Ministry said in a statement on Thursday.
...
“According to the results of preliminary tests,” the statement said, “patients were exposed to chemical material (Sarin).”
...
The Turkish statement did not elaborate on how the sarin had been identified in the assault on Tuesday, but it said some of the telling symptoms seen in the victims included “lung edema, increase in lung weight and bleeding in lungs.”
From the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Emergency Response Database:
At high exposure levels, irritation of the upper respiratory tract and accumulation of fluid in the lungs (pulmonary edema) contribute to a sensation of choking.
But that is from the CDC entry for chlorine.
The CDC entry for sarin
mentions "fluid accumulation in the airways" as one symptom among many
more conspicuous ones. It does not mention an edema in the lungs.
Contradicting the first Turkish reports the Turkish Health
Ministry claimed "sarin" (in parenthesis?!). But the symptom it
described as proof was not of sarin but of chlorine exposure.
The Turkish Justice Minister also made a statement, but did not mention sarin at all:
Turkish Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag told reporters that "Autopsies were carried out on three of the bodies after they were brought from Idlib. The results of the autopsy confirms that chemical weapons were used," quoted by state-run Anadolu news agency. "This scientific investigation also confirms that Assad used chemical weapons," Bozdag added, without giving further details.
...
Bozdag said autopsies were conducted with the "participation" of officials from the World Health Organization (WHO) in the southern province of Adana together with officials from Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).
But WHO immediately countered Bozdag's claims that it was involved in the postmortem, saying the organisation did not conduct autopsies, adding: "It is not our mandate."
...
[It] also stressed that no samples or swabs had been taken by WHO despite claims by the Adana prosecutor that "examples" had been sent to the organisation and the OPCW.
The Justice Minister claimed that samples had been given to the WHO
and OPCW from the very first autopsies. But the WHO clearly denies that.
I find no OPCW statement on this. Did it receive any of those first
samples or only some that were later produced by Turkish authorities?
In 2013 a Turkish court, under Justice Minister Bozdag, set one suspected Ahrar al Sham member free
after he was caught with sarin precursors. The person was later
sentenced in absentia as he had fled back to Syria. Ahrar al Sham, while
not in charge, has a presence in Khan Sheikhun.
The neuroscientist and neuro-pharmacologist Denis O'Brien, a Ph.D.
with a research and teaching career in that field, analyzed the symtoms
of the casualties that were depicted in the various videos coming out of
Khan Sheikhun. His detailed diagnostics and chemical-biological
explanations are humorously titled Top Ten Ways to Tell When You're Being Spoofed by a False-Flag Sarin Attack.
O'Brian notes the total absence of feces, urine, vomit and cyanosis
(turning blue) in the videos. Sarin exposure causes, according to the CDC database,
"Nausea, vomiting (emesis), diarrhea, abdominal pain, and cramping."
Sarin effected patients would spontaneously shit, pee and vomit all
over. But the casualties in the videos, even the "dead" ones, have clean
undies. The "clinic" in the videos has clean floors. The patients show
red skin color, not oxygen deprived blue. The patients in the videos were not effected by sarin.
Medical personal and rescue workers in the videos (example)
and pictures also show none of the typical sarin symptoms. Sarin
degrades relatively fast. Half of the potency will be gone within five
hours after release (depending on environmental factors). But these
rescue workers and medical personal were immediately involved with the
casualties. They do not wear any reasonable protection. They would have
been dead or at least effected if sarin would have been involved in any
relevant concentration.
The Turkish doctors and chemical weapon specialists who received the
first patients diagnosed chlorine exposure, not sarin. The first news
and Turkish reports to the UN speak of chlorine, not sarin. It is only
the Turkish Health Minister who mentions sarin - in parentheses, but
then lists a symptom of severe chlorine exposure as one of sarin.
Neither the casualties nor the unprotected medical personal involved in
the incident show any effect of sarin exposure. The only one who claimed
"sarin" early on was an al-Qaeda alligend former doctor in a staged
propaganda video.
Fifteen days after the incident the OPCW say that samples (it was
given?) "indicate exposure to Sarin or a Sarin-like substance".
Turkey has been the supply and support lifeline for Ahrar al Sham as
well as for al-Qaeda in Syria. The samples given to the OPCW were taken
by Turkish personal in Turkey. The current head of the OPCW is a Turkish
civil servant. It is in the interest of Turkey and its terrorist
clients in Syria to blame the Syrian government for chemical weapon use.
The medical and technical evidence
is not consistent with a sarin attack by the Syrian government. All of
the videos and pictures of the incident were taken in al-Qaeda
controlled territory. All witnesses were under al-Qaeda control. How
much of the incident was staged for videos (see al-Qaeda doctor video
linked above) or how many of the witnesses were told to lie is not
testable under current circumstance. The Syrian government insist that
it had given up all its chemical weapons and keeps no stocks. The
Russian government also asserts that no chemical weapon attack took
place.
The OPCW analysis may well have found that samples it received
indicated some organophosphorus exposure. But the chain of evidence for
these samples is very dubious. The amount of exposure was not defined.
The observable facts of the incident do not support the conclusion that sarin was present in the Khan Sheikhun incident.
