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?

WTH did they think they were going to achieve?

My Fellow Duranians,
in a very short discussion last night with our dear friend Larry Johnson, I tried to get as much information as I possibly could in this window of opportunity.
As I believe you can all see, Larry is extremely busy, and more importantly tired. I follow him daily and I see the amount of posts he does daily on his various media site. A non- stop crusader for truth and it would seem as if he never sleeps! This is why I am grateful to share this short conference with you and like to thank him again for his very much appreciated and valuable time !
Enjoy

The Gates of Hormuz (Live)
Join Alex & Alexander Live Stream Today 11th MARCH 2026 at 13:00 EST, 18:00 London Time

Alex and I have had a discussion and we agreed that in light of the ongoing very dynamic crisis in the war the US and Israel are waging against Iran we would do together another joint Live Stream today on all platforms in place of my Locals Live Stream to cover all ongoing developments.

If - as I suspect will be the case - over the course of the coming week the war becomes attritional and continues in the same form into next week, my standard Locals exclusive Live Streams will be able to resume as usual.

Apologies to the Duran Community here for this but the pace of events dictates our course, and of course I am looking forward to you all joining the Live Stream later today and my interacting with you then.

NOW THE RECKONING

Scott Ritter was right.

He was right about Iran's capabilities. He was right about the vulnerability of forward bases. He was right about the inadequacy of missile defenses against saturation attacks. He was right about the willingness of Gulf allies to prioritize their own survival over American interests. He was right about the strategic overreach that had left the United States exposed across multiple theaters. He was right about the depletion of American arsenals in Ukraine creating vulnerabilities elsewhere. He was right about the intelligence community's failure to accurately assess adversary intentions and capabilities. He was right about the political class's unwillingness to hear uncomfortable truths.

He was right about all of it.

And for being right, he was harassed, arrested, raided, and ridiculed. For being right, he was stripped of his security clearance, his reputation, and his livelihood. For being right, he was treated as a pariah by the very institutions that should have been ...

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
