Novichok hysteria reloaded - Just in time for the Trump-Putin summit!

Four months after the failed so-called assassination attempt of an ex Russian spy and his daughter, British authorities are again sending the world in a frenzy over a new Novichok poisoning case on its soil. According to the official narrative, a couple of drug addicts picked up and used a syringe contaminated with the Russian nerve agent and are now in hospital, fighting for their lives. We’re talking about to British nationals, so what we’re dealing with is Putin murdering innocent Western civilians!
This story is so full of inconsistencies it looks like the script for a movie that is so bad even Hollywood rejected!
The writers of this script assume people don’t remember much about the Skripal affair in March and will believe just about anything.

Queen Elizabeth Gardens, where the poisoned syringe was presumably found

However, as far as I do remember, it was never established how Serghei Skripal and his daughter were poisoned. To this day, the official narrative is the highest amount of the Novichok nerve agent was detected on Skripal’s front door. The doorknob, to be specific. At the time, it was said the rain must have washed away some of the poison, which is why the victims didn’t die. Because, otherwise, the poison is extremely dangerous and can kill in minutes.
At present, we are told the two drug addicts now in hospital must have picked up a syringe discarded in a park in the same Salisbury area Skripal lived and used it to inject drugs. Presumably, the same syringe used by the hapless Russian agents who put poison on Skripal’s front door. Somehow, the two British citizens did not die either. They must have come in contact with the fast-acting poison on Friday we’re told, yet only felt unwell on Saturday. The symptoms exhibited were consistent with using a bad batch of street meth, but quick thinking British paramedics appeared in hazmat costumes to pick up a passed out drug addict three days before it the substance was confirmed to be Novichok.

Senior British counterintelligence official appeared on TV arguing the deadly secret poison was disposed of ‘haphazardly’. What we are asked to believe is that the Russian agents just threw the syringe in a public park! Not even a trash can! Wrap it in a piece of paper!? Stuff in a plastic bag?? Nope, just throw it in the grass… In case anybody forgot, Vladimir Putin is a former spy so he’d know enough how such an operation is supposed to unfold. And be very pissed…
Let’s assume for a moment that it was indeed a Russian assassination attempt. Which didn’t go as planned. Skripal and his daughter survived, there was an international outcry, Russia was slapped with new sanctions. You’d assume Putin to be livid following such a fiasco. The presumed killers must have found themselves in deep shit very hot waters. They must have been brought in for some serious questioning. During that painful interview, some official must have asked what happened to the container the poison was transported in.
‘Don’t worry, we threw the syringe in a park, it’s fine!’
Seriously, who disposes of a prohibited nerve agent in a public place? Even if said agents would have been dumb enough to do so, you’d expect their superiors to try and retrieve the bloody syringe. The people writing these scripts should make up their minds once and for all - either Putin and his acolytes are extremely devious and diabolical we should all be afraid of them or they’re just a bunch of morons incapable of carrying out a simple operation, like covering up their traces after a botched operations. Four months and no one thought about sending an agent to walk his dog in the park and pick up the dirty syringe!?
There are lots of other facts that just don’t add up. Like why would two drug addicts pick up a discarded syringe? The couple, both in their 40s, are probably experienced enough to know how dangerous it is. Not to mention that they can get clean needles for free at the pharmacy. Then, there’s the fact that British authorities have carried out massive clean-up operations in the area, that cost upwards of 10 million pounds. Yet, they missed the syringe. So did the garbage collectors - for months the thing just laid there in the park and nobody put it in a trash can.

As in the first episode of this soap opera, the story is bound to change a few times. Already, the mother of one of the victims brought up the idea of a poisoned cigarette butt… whatever...

Dawn Sturgess, 44, and Charlie Rowley, 45, innocent victims of the second episode in the Novichok affair

The only good thing about this affair is that many of the comments I’ve read today point out this story is utter crap!
Some call it a distraction meant for the British public, to take their interest away from Mrs. May’s struggling Brexit negotiations. Or from the looming trade war between Europe and the US. Let’s not forget the World Cup which, so far, has been a success, proving to the tens of thousands of visitors and the world at large Putin’s Russia is a decent country. Not very rich, maybe, but decent enough to host a major event without a problem.
Then there’s the Trump-Putin summit scheduled to take place in Finland on July 16. Just imagine the poisoning victims dying - the woman, at least, is said to be on the brink of death at the moment. Putin would once again be screwed and so would Trump, because you just cannot hold talks with a murderer, can you?
I’m really sorry for these two Brits dragged into this new world drama, but, at this point, I wouldn’t bet they’re going to make it.
