THE 'NOVICHOK' RUSSOPHOBIA REVIVAL OPENED TODAY
We are supposed to believe that two top Russian agents were sent to kill Sergei Skripal despite him being sent to the UK in a Spy swap, they chose a “novichok” nerve agent as the manner of death. In broad daylight they painted this on the front door of his house, in full view of the neighbours and passers-by on the packed housing estate and without any protective equipment, despite the fact that a tiny droplet on your skin could kill you.
The agents then went for a walk in Salisbury town centre, looked in the window of an antique shop, and put the perfume bottle containing the novichok back in its packet including somehow resealing the cellophane wrapping. They then placed the “perfume” in a charity bin.
The Skripals came back home, and both touched the door handle. Despite the novichok being instant-acting and extremely deadly, they then went out for lunch and ate a full meal and drank wine and had a high old time for three hours, being joined and photographed by their MI6 handler Pablo Miller (whose existence is D-noticed).
After their meal, the novichok finally took effect and they both collapsed on a park bench. Despite the fact that they were different ages, sexes and weights and presumably contacted differing amounts of novichok, they both collapsed at just the same moment, about three hours after contact, so neither of them was able to call for help.
But luckily the very first person to come across them on the park bench was, completely by coincidence, the most senior ranking Nurse of the British Army, who just happened to be passing. They went to hospital and were saved and did not die after all.
A policeman sent to their house touched the door handle and also got novichok poisoning, and he later got ill and was hospitalised, but did not die either. He had returned to his own home and later it was found that he had got novichok all over the light switches and door handles there, but by great fortune his family, who continued to live in this house, did not get ill from it.
The official explanation of this is that it was “a miracle”.
Meanwhile, the “perfume” sat in the charity bin. It sat there for months and months, despite the fact that it was emptied regularly and despite the fact that Charlie Rowley was one of a number of people who also regularly stole from that bin.
Somehow both the bin’s official and unofficial emptiers continually missed the perfume bottle, again and again and again. Finally, several months later, the perfume bottle’s mysterious invisibility cloak failed and Charlie Rowley saw it.
He gave it to his girlfriend Dawn Sturgess, who put some perfume on and died. Charlie Rowley got ill but did not die. He was later able to tell the press inconvenient facts, like the cellophane on the perfume was fully sealed and that he took stuff from that bin fairly often.
When Rowley and Sturgess were taken to hospital, the police descended and sealed off the house and made a massive terrorism theatre of searching it, that went on for days. They were searching for a small container of liquid.
Finally, after days and days of 24/7 painstaking combing through the house by England’s finest, somebody spotted a perfume bottle sitting in plain sight on the kitchen counter, the perfume bottle’s invisibility cloak failed again and the Novichok was found!
At no time, despite what was published, has any official Lab definitively identified the substance as "Novichok" AND Where are the Skripals after all this time?

🔴 ALEX CHRISTOFOROU ON TRUMP'S NEW UKRAINE PEACE DEAL
Putin's response to Trump's 28 point peace plan, as translated into English by the Kremlin.

President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Good evening, colleagues,

We have two important issues today – the priorities of Russia’s CSTO presidency in 2026, and the strategy of the Russian Federation to combat the practices of neocolonialism. The Minister of Foreign Affairs is invited to speak on the first and second issues, so we can begin.

Speaker of the Federation Council Valentina Matviyenko: Mr President, if I may.

Vladimir Putin: Yes, please, Ms Matviyenko.

Valentina Matviyenko: There is a lot of discussion in the world about President Trump’s 28-point peace plan for the Ukrainian crisis. May I ask you, before we consider the main issues on the agenda, to express your opinion, your attitude to this plan, and how it relates to your recent talks with President Trump in Alaska?

Vladimir Putin: Yes, of course, there is no secret here. We have had almost no public discussion of it, only in the most general terms, but it is not a secret. President Trump’s peace plan to resolve the situation in ...

MTG resigns! While the news was immediately shocking once you thought through what her options were her actions made sense. If she were to stay in the race she would win her race comfortably. I live one state over. There is overlap in the rural type of constituency that she represents and where I live. So I know the mindset.

It’s not that she was concerned about losing her seat it was more about spending the money to fight for her seat. Why would she do that? She enjoys popularity with her people but in DC she is considered a pariah. As the Republicans WILL lose the house she would be in the minority fighting for a President and his policies she no longer believes in AND possible impeachment proceedings because you can count on it the other half of the uniparty WILL impeach him and this time there is enough to impeach him on.

Marjorie will have the last “laugh”. She defended President Trump when people called her names and booted her off of committees. She was treated ...
