Unusual. [?]
ReplyDeleteVisit suggested link for the bigger picture. I had no time to put one up earlier.
Delete__ Unusual referred to the histories [fictional or exact] that surround Porton Down, appx,5[US] miles from Salisbury.
DeleteWe are being fed the line that a Russian an 'ex-spy' 'an ex-double agent' is dining in a restaurant a short distance from the gates of Porton Down and that Russians tried to kill him. Tonight on RT Russia's ambassador is asking a lot of pertinent and probing questions about this Russian citizen, this so-called ex-spy. So far no answers and he says international laws being disregarded by the British parliament. What evidence does Boris Johnson have that nobody else have? UK threatened to close down RT and launch a cyber attack against Russia. But this has now disappeared from the UK media. "Everything looks to us very suspicious." Russian ambassador.
DeleteWhen Georgi Markov was assassinated with the umbrella tip I don't remember London being closed down although I there was rumour of a warning to boil red kidney beans for at least 10 minutes, vigorously.
ReplyDeleteVigorously, eh? This time they didn't tell people to wash their clothes and clean their mobile phones until 5 days had elapsed. I wonder why the delay. The world of dark goings on, secret experiments and espionage is fascinating isn't it? I'm reading Andy McNab. He's a good writer. Up there with Forsyth.
DeleteI think there was lots of propaganda about the dangers of kidney beans at the time. As for Markov's actual death it was a Cold War murder and life went on. He was of course Bulgarian and Russia were not involved in this one.
DeleteFor me Sean Connery was the no. 1 spy. The real spies, you never hear their names. And if anything happens to them you never hear about it. And if you do its all denied. In World War II there was a policeman from Wales pretended to be a Welsh Nationalist and successfully infiltrated the higher echelons of the Nazis. If he'd been discovered and killed by one of Hitlers henchmen we'd never have heard about it. There wouldn't be a song and dance. Fortunately he survived and lived to tell the tale. I can think of more examples, people like Graham Greene who spied on German naval activity off Mallorca, for instance. A couple of cases here of people jumping off the UN roof officially 'accidents'. To tell the truth we don't have a clue what's going on. Tillersons replacement knows the spy business inside out, maybe that's why he was chosen, so there will be interesting times ahead.
Delete39,967 tonnes, wasn't that supposed to be Russias' entire stock of chemical weapons that were destroyed? I bet they kept a little bit back.....
ReplyDeleteAs yet there is no evidence of Russian involvement. Presumably that's why the phrase "of a type developed in Russia" is used. That's as far as the scientists under extreme pressure to give the UK government are prepared to go. In other words they have not said it is from Russia.
DeleteWait. What? This is just...weird.
ReplyDeleteIt'll get weirder before it's finished.
DeleteThis has all the hysteria of the pre-Iraq War days.
