Het hieronder opgenomen artikel van News Front kwam ik tegen op het blog van Stan van Houcke. Hierin veegt de Israëlische internationale terrorisme expert en schrijver Alexander Brass de vloer aan met het Britse fantasieverhaal over ‘de door Russische agenten met novitsjok vergiftigde Skripals’.

Onder meer wijst hij op de uiterst kundige geheime dienst van Rusland, in dit geval de GROe. Onmogelijk dat zo’n dienst alle bewijzen die in hun richting wijzen, daadwerkelijk hebben achtergelaten. Zoals eerder op deze plek al geconstateerd: als Rusland Skripal had willen doden, dan was hij dat al lang geweest, zonder dat iemand maar argwaan zou krijgen over de ‘natuurlijke’ doodsoorzaak……..

Terecht stelt Brass dat de manier waarop novitsjok werd gebruikt in deze zaak, althans zoals in het fantasieverhaal van de Britten, dit te vergelijken is met de vernietiging van een stad middels een atoombom en dat om één persoon te vermoorden…… Als zo vaak gezegd, als er inderdaad novitsjok werd gebruikt was iedereen die ermee in aanraking was gekomen al lang en breed overleden, plus een flink aantal omwonenden…… Ofwel ook hier is sprake van een false flag operatie…….

Brass wijst verder als voorbeeld op de gelukte en mislukte aanslagen op ‘tegenstanders’ door de Israëlische geheime dienst Mossad.

Brass stelt verder dat de bewaking van het huis waar Skripal woonde*, met meerdere camera’s werd gedaan, echter de camera die de boel had moeten filmen, op ‘het moment waarop de twee Russen de deurknop insmeerden met novitsjok’, was uitgeschakeld door de Britten……

Voorts wijst Brass op het feit dat de Skripal zaak moet voorkomen dat Rusland deel mag uitmaken van onderzoeken in Syrie naar het gebruik van chemische wapens. Echter er zijn wat mij betreft meer redenen, zoals de wil van de VS en Groot-Brittannië om een oorlog tegen Rusland te beginnen en dit land failliet te laten gaan, dat laatste zal (gelukkig) op zeker niet lukken en laten we hopen dat het eerste al helemaal niet zal plaatsvinden……… De pogingen om Rusland uit onderzoeken te houden naar gifgasaanvallen, maakt uiteindelijk geen verschil, Rusland zal en moet gedemoniseerd worden….

Niet voor niets dat de reguliere westerse (massa-) media en het overgrote deel van de westerse politici, alle gifgasaanvallen toerekenen aan het reguliere Syrische leger en Rusland, hoewel daar geen flinter aan bewijs voor gegeven kan worden….. Sterker nog: zelfs de echte aanvallen met gifgas zijn na onderzoek voor het overgrote deel toegeschreven aan de ‘gematigde rebellen’ (o.a. door Nederland gesteunde terreurgroepen die zich schuldig maken aan massamoord, verkrachtingen en martelingen). Lulliger nog: de westerse landen weten dat deze ‘gematigde rebellen’ over gifgas (chlorine en sarin) beschikken, iets waar ze nooit moeite mee hebben gehad……..

Lees dit ontluisterende verhaal en zegt het ajb voort, de berg met leugens en de ronduit anti-Russische propaganda, moet eindelijk voor het ‘grote publiek’ doorgeprikt worden, zo niet worden we langzaam maar zeker in een oorlog gesleept die maar één aanduiding kan hebben: WOIII…….

SKRIPAL
CASE: ISRAELI EXPERT ON THE WORK OF THE SPECIAL AGENTS

Date
of publication: 28 09 2018, 12:05

An
Israeli expert on international terrorism, writer Alexander Brass,
shared his view on the case of the Skripals poisoning in Salisbury.
Brass draws parallels between the work of the special services of
Israel and Russia – he believes that if to compare the British
version with the practice of the special agents, then the absurdity
becomes obvious.

“Alexander,
so what, in your opinion, happened in Salisbury?”

-There was a rough
provocation by the British special services. In my opinion, this is
obvious.

– Why
do you think so?

“There’s
a lot of stupidity on stupidity.” The story with Petrov and
Boshirov does not hold up any professional peer review. According to
the Brits, the Skripals were poisoned by GRU** agents (this is what the
department is called, although this is now the Main Directorate of
the RF General Staff).

I want to explain how the
special services work. If you need someone to eliminate, then this is
a very serious operation, which is being prepared for a long time. A
very significant material and human resource is allocated. We are
talking about dozens of employees. On the territory of this state, an
“advanced command post” is being created.

In the operation, a
technical support group, a logistic group, a cover group, an external
surveillance group and a group of performers are involved.

The performers themselves
appear at the very last moment. They do not go anywhere, lighting up
on cameras, do not use public transport, but move on rented cars,
which they do not rent themselves. And the more they will not stop in
hotels, but will live on safe houses provided by the logistics group.

Such groups do not come
under the passport of their country, do not go to the embassy for
obtaining a visa, leaving fingerprints. This is complete nonsense.
Professionals do not work that way.

If the GRU acted, both
the killers and the other participants in the operation would come to
the UK on the passports of other countries that have visa-free
relations with it. Here, two alleged GRU officers go to the embassy,
​​leave their fingerprints there, get a visa, stop at the hotel,
pass under all the cells. This you will not find even in ladies’
detective novels.

– Maybe
it is unprofessionalism associated with the degradation and decay,
which after the collapse of the Soviet Union took place in all
structures and institutions of society, including in the special
services? Lost skills, methods, no one to teach young people. There
is such an opinion.

–
This
is an opinion at the level of kitchen conversations. Where did the
armed forces and the military-industrial complex of the Russian
Federation manage to raise such a “bardak” to such a level as
they could organize the World Cup and the Olympics at such a high
level?

The
GRU has always been and remains one of the most professional and most
intelligent intelligence agencies in the world.

If the GRU decided to
eliminate Skripal, then I have a question: why was the “Novichok”
used? This is not a remedy, it’s a chemical weapon of mass
destruction. It’s like dropping an atomic bomb on a city to kill
one criminal. When special services eliminate an object, they always
try to do it so that no autopsy shows that he was poisoned.

– Can
you give examples?

–
I
can give many examples. In 1978, the well-known international
terrorist Vadia Haddad, one of the founders of the Popular Front for
the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), was killed. “Mossad” did not
take responsibility for this, but sewed in a bag you can not hide. A
potent biological poison was mixed with chocolate. Within three
months he died of a painful and incomprehensible illness in the GDR
clinic. His autopsy was conducted at the University of East Berlin.
No trace of poison was found. The doctors assumed that he died of
leukemia.

– How
did you know that he was killed by Mossad?

–
Information
about this began to leak a few years ago. It came from Algeria. One
of the former Mossad agents during another trial gave evidence that
he witnessed how this happened, calling the specific names of the
performers. This man also confirmed that he was a participant in this
operation. This information was also confirmed by other,
non-overlapping sources.

– Were
there any cases when the Mossad operation ended unsuccessfully and
the enemies of Israel were still alive?

–
Take
the last unsuccessful attempt of the Israelis to kill Khaled Mashaal,
one of the leaders of the terrorist organization Hamas. He would have
been killd if he had not been given an antidote at the last minute.

Everything happened on
September 25, 1997 on one of the streets of Amman – the capital of
Jordan. Just some passer-by, who was next to Mashaal, “accidentally”
stumbled and splashed the liquid from the can of Coke to his neck.
The next day Mashal would have died of a heart attack, and no traces.
But the performers were seized on the spot. After that, the King of
Jordan Hussein demanded that Israel provide an antidote, and in
return promised to release Israeli agents.

–
That
is, substances that leave no traces are not detected by expertise and
imitate death from the disease, the secret services have long been
known?

– That’s
it. Could the GRU not have been able to use some other poison, and
not the “Novichok”, which leaves traces everywhere? If such
technologies were in the special services already in the 1950s, do
not the GRU have them today?

–Let’s
talk about the cameras. The UK on this some kind of fad. In no
country in the world there is such a number of surveillance cameras
per capita.

If I’m not mistaken,
about one camera for 15 people. Literally every meter is looked
through. MI5, the British counterintelligence service, is considered
one of the best in the world. And if Britain took care of Skripal, he
was very well guarded. At least his house was hung with all the
cameras, which are only possible.

If, according to MI5,
these agents visited Salisbury, they came to the house of Skripal and
coated the door handle with this substance – so show the records
from the cameras! How can it be that it was at this point that the
cameras suddenly turned off?

“But
maybe these agents found the cameras and turned them off?”

“If
you say that the GRU has deteriorated so badly that it has lit up
everywhere and left its mark, why did this degraded intelligence
agency manage to turn off the surveillance cameras near the Skripal
house at the right time?” Where is the logic?

–When
our agents killed the Chechen terrorist Zelimkhan Yandarbiyev in
Qatar, they got caught and were captured by the local police. True,
they carried out the task …

“And
how many Israeli agents were arrested?” This does not mean
degradation. I do not know what happened after the collapse of the
USSR in the GRU, but I know what happened in the Foreign Intelligence
Service, since I had been friends with one of the very high-ranking
officers of this service for many years in retirement. We had very
close, friendly relations with him for many years. Unfortunately, he
died a few years ago.

He told me that the
degradation of the special services is only an appearance. He
retired, because he already had years of service and he did not agree
with the mess that was going on in the country. But there was no mess
in the secret services! Who wanted to – left. But was there a leak
of information? Have they discovered an agent network?

Agents of Soviet special
services worked all over the world. Have any of them suffered? No
one. The mess can be anywhere, but not in the special services.”

– Let’s
admit. All this really looks strange – first let out Skripal, then
kill him. Would not it be easier to just leave him in jail?

“–
Now
about the personality of Sergei Skripal himself. The main version,
which is voiced by the British side, is revenge. But in special
services there is no such thing as revenge. Neither the Israelis, nor
the Russians. Only the Cubans had it. We must understand that the
special services are a very practical organization. Why revenge? A
person is eliminated only when he can cause real harm. The Skripal
has already done harm. He could not do more harm.”

– For
example, as a lesson to other potential traitors, no?

“–
No.
I once asked my acquaintances who worked in your special services (I
have never had any contact with active staff, only with retirees):
“Why did not Kalugin be killed?” And they answered me with a
counter question: “Why haven’t you eliminated the defector? “I
said: he has already done harm. To eliminate him, it is necessary to
develop a very serious operation, to send people, people should risk
their lives. For the sake of what – for the sake of revenge? They
say:

“For
the same reason, we do not touch Kalugin and do not touch anyone.”
Israelis are not even exterminated by former terrorists. At the
moment when the terrorist stops terrorist activities, regardless of
what he did before, he is left alone. The only ones who were
persecuted to the end were Nazi criminals.”

There
is an opinion that he was eliminated because he taught at the
counterintelligence school and taught young employees how to deal
with the GRU.

“–
And
what, in MI5, except for Skripal, no one knows how to do it? I think
they know it better than him.

–
In
such cases, there is a very simple practice. When Skripal was taken
on treason, he probably was intelligibly explained: either you go to
life imprisonment and you will be in solitary confinement somewhere
beyond the Arctic Circle, or you will receive 12 years of strict
regime in the European part of Russia. But for this, you must fully
tell what you have handed over, and give evidence. To cooperate with
the investigation.

Similarly, when the
former colonel of the Defense Intelligence of Israel’s Defense
Intelligence Department, I did not name him, went into business and
got into debt.

He went to Lebanon to buy
heroin and conduct a drug deal, and was captured by Hezbollah. He
told everything he knew, inflicting enormous damage to Israel’s
defense capability. Because he was an officer on this site, he worked
for Lebanon.

The Israelis exchanged
him, they pulled him out. He was told: let’s make a deal. You will
not be prosecuted. But you must thoroughly, in every detail, tell
what you told them. We need to know what they know. The same was with
Skripal. And there was simply no need to eliminate him.”

So
there was no motive for Russian special services?

“–There
was no motive. Then, imagine: they used “Novichok”, they carried
it with them in a bottle from under the perfume. In the practice of
special services this does not exist. Performers go light, with other
people’s passports. They receive weapons on the spot. And when such
a group of liquidators works, it works autonomously, without
affecting the local residency. In case of failure, do not harm the
residence.

When
the surveillance is working and the capture team is working, they do
not know each other in person, they communicate only through certain
communication channels.”

– The
question is also why the poison did not act instantly, and Skripal
was still wandering about for a few hours.

“–
It’s
a different matter. The British are so disrespectful to Russia that
even provocation can not be done at a decent level. It’s even
humiliating. Therefore, Russia does not comment on this in any way.
And why is it necessary to comment on some kind of nonsense?

It took half a year to
Brits to find the “suspects.” Although they left their full
personal data and fingerprints in the embassy when they received
visas. This is a separate nonsense. Then Russia said: please! Here
they are, here’s their interview. If they were active GRU officers,
they would not have left their fingerprints in the embassy for
anything”.

“– Who
are they?”

“–
I
do not know who they are, but certainly not employees of special
services. If the GRU needed to kill Skripal, he would now be dead.
This would have been done quietly and without scandal”.

“– Why
Britain needs this?”

“– This
is a well-thought-out strategy of demonization and international
isolation of Russia. In the UK, as in the rest of the Western world,
everything works very simply. Most people do not read newspapers at
all. And those who read, do not understand half.

But
everyone sees the headlines. Provocation with the Skripals is needed
to exclude the Russian Federation from the Commission for
Investigating the Use of Chemical Weapons in Syria. This is a minimum
program”.

*  Of hij en zijn dochter daar nog wonen, weet ik niet (waarschijnlijk niet, kan er niets over vinden).

** GRU de militaire geheime dienst van Rusland, in het Nederlands: GROe.

PS: met alle anti-Russische propaganda (leugens) stelt men dat Rusland een onbetrouwbare handelspartner is, zo merkten ook de NRC en de NOS op, precies zoals VS ambassadeur voor Nederland, plork Hoekstra al stelde…… De VS eist dat Duitsland afziet van het Nord Stream 2 (NS2) project, een gaspijpleiding van Rusland naar Duitsland, een pijpleiding die niet door corrupte Oost-Europese landen als Oekraïne loopt. Logisch daar de VS het gas dat werd gewonnen met de door haar zwaar gesubsidieerde schaliegaswinning, wil verkopen aan de EU en dat tegen een godsvermogen…….. Zie wat dat betreft ook: ‘VS sancties tegen Rusland ingegeven door eigenbelang‘
