The Poison in our Body Politic 391


As Porton Down now confirm, here is a straightforward lie from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, a lie that British diplomats around the world have been promoting to foreign governments.

The key point is that the FCO knew it was lying. This was published six days after I was told by an FCO source, and published, that Porton Down scientists were refusing to say the substance came from Russia. The FCO knew this.

I have now received confirmation from a well placed FCO source that Porton Down scientists are not able to identify the nerve agent as being of Russian manufacture, and have been resentful of the pressure being placed on them to do so. Porton Down would only sign up to the formulation “of a type developed by Russia” after a rather difficult meeting where this was agreed as a compromise formulation. 16 March 2018

There has to be some kind of redress for this. If we accept that we live in a society where the public bodies that are supposed to serve us, can lie to us and to the world in order specifically to heat up a cold war, then the future is bleak. This is a direct consequence of the lack of suitable punishment for those involved in the crime of creating lies to wage aggressive war on Iraq, particularly Tony Blair, Richard Dearlove and John Scarlett. As they are not in jail, Boris is confident he will not be either.

We have learned nothing from the Iraq War experience, and what is most disheartening is that officials within the FCO and security services still do not see it as their job to prevent lies rather than to propagate them when asked by a Minister.

Here is a screenshot of a FCO video showing Laurie Bristow, British Ambassador to Russia, in Moscow telling outright lies to gathered diplomats at a briefing there. The subtitle is accurate.

I have long held the opinion that Bristow is a deeply repulsive individual with no morals or scruples. When I was sacked as British Ambassador to Tashkent for criticising Uzbekistan’s human rights record and objecting to MI6 use of intelligence from the Uzbek torture chambers, Bristow went to Tashkent after my removal to assure the Uzbeks that the UK had no interest in human rights and wished to continue “intelligence cooperation”. That somebody like Bristow can become one of Britain’s most senior Ambassadors says all you need to know about the United Kingdom today.

    When Bullingdon boys occupy government posts and make the world-stage their private dining-rooms only to smash them up (because in their arrogance they can claim that they are rich enough to pay for the damage done) then we must not wonder about collateral damage of hundreds of thousands human beings maimed, burned, killed and scarred for life. It’s the amorality of an elite that occupies their own fantasy world. From Wikipedia: (Bullindon Club: members are David Cameron, Boris Johnson, Nick Hurd and George Osborne) ‘The club often books private dining rooms under an assumed name, as most restaurateurs are wary of the Club’s reputation for causing considerable drunken damage during the course of dinner. One of the reputed initiation rituals required of new members is to burn a £50 note in front of a homeless person.’

    • Tom Welsh

      Of course, being able to pay for the damage is not a good or sufficient excuse for riotous behaviour. There is an assumption buried there that is deeply offensive, wounding and insulting: that if a bunch of posh people destroy the possessions of ordinary folk, all that is needed is financial compensation.

      What is actually needed is exemplary punishment for the violence, disorder and disrespect – together with humble and believable apologies to all concerned and a promise never to do anything similar again.

      • Christoph Jensen

        Exactly … it begs the question by what means do they get into their positions, and how do they get away with their contempt for decency and humanitarian values??

      Like the main ‘ceremony’ at Bohemian Grove is the ‘Cremation of Care’, celebrating sociopathy.

        It is designed to eradicate any trace of compassion and humanity in ones soul … how else does anyone ‘manage’ to cope with the cruelties inflicted on ones fellow-human beings. The ordinary GI commits suicide or succumbs to a mental institution.

  • Sharp Ears

    Craig is being patronized by Andrew Sparrow in the Guardian. Pity they don’t do any investigative journalism these days.

    ‘1h ago
    15:47
    Yesterday’s Porton Down statement represents a vindication of sorts for Craig Murray, the former ambassador to Uzbekistan (his book about his time there, Murder in Samarkand, is very good) who left the Foreign Office after becoming increasingly outspoken on the subject of human rights and who now blogs and campaigns, largely from an ultra alternative and anti-establishment viewpoint.

    His suggestion that Israel is just as likely to have been to blame for the Salisbury attack as Russia would probably be seen by many people as borderline delusional.

    But his Porton Down blog from three weeks ago has stood the test of time. He wrote:

    ‘I have now received confirmation from a well placed FCO source that Porton Down scientists are not able to identify the nerve agent as being of Russian manufacture, and have been resentful of the pressure being placed on them to do so. Porton Down would only sign up to the formulation “of a type developed by Russia” after a rather difficult meeting where this was agreed as a compromise formulation. The Russians were allegedly researching, in the “Novichok” programme a generation of nerve agents which could be produced from commercially available precursors such as insecticides and fertilisers. This substance is a “novichok” in that sense. It is of that type. Just as I am typing on a laptop of a type developed by the United States, though this one was made in China.

    To anybody with a Whitehall background this has been obvious for several days. The government has never said the nerve agent was made in Russia, or that it can only be made in Russia. The exact formulation “of a type developed by Russia” was used by Theresa May in parliament, used by the UK at the UN Security Council, used by Boris Johnson on the BBC yesterday and, most tellingly of all, “of a type developed by Russia” is the precise phrase used in the joint communique issued by the UK, USA, France and Germany yesterday …

    When the same extremely careful phrasing is never deviated from, you know it is the result of a very delicate Whitehall compromise.’

    Murray has written another blog today saying the Foreign Office has been lying (which, of course, they deny – see 12.19pm.)

    • lysias

      Why such sensitivity about the mere suggestion that Israel might have been involved? Do they know something that they’re not telling us?

      • Rhys Jaggar

        No, they probably know that unfriendly Mossad agents bug their telephones, track their cars and know all their online transactions and they stupidly think that being supine to them will make them be a bit nicer…..

    • ToivoS

      Well at least Andrew Sparrow acknowledged Craig’s contribution. Not only that but praised his book on Uzbekistan! Given what the Guardian has become in recent years a little condescension should be expected.

    • james

      i agree with lysias… why has israel refused to sign onto the opcw treaty and make themselves transparent here?? you need to ask more questions and realize why people question the motives of israel specifically as it relates to chemical weapons.. the motive for israel is also fairly obvious.. they are pissed with russia for not allowing the regime change agenda in syria.. no amount of isis / moderate headchopper support from israel is going to change this either..

    • Republicofscotland

      Yes the FCO are backtracking, Boris Johnson and Theresa May should resign immediately for misleading the public and gravely damaging foreign relations with Russia.

      Johnson in particular is a liability, the world must be laughing up its sleeve at the way the British government handled this affair. God help us, these clowns are negotiating Brexit on our behalf.

  • james

    right on! thanks craig for the work you have done here.. i hope more people are made aware of it and find a way to hold the individual politicians and etc accountable for this.. it has to stop and it begins with accountability..

    • james

      the key fact boris the idiot leaves out is that he lied… that is not going to be forgotten either..

      Only in the UK, which is in the final recession, will such an idiot and a clown be raised to a high level.
      Buffoning, which makes it dangerous, also means that it is useless.
      Otherwise, he must remain on duty.”

  • Loony

    It is hard to know what the problem really is. Pretty much everyone employed by either the state or the media is an idiot or a liar or both.

    Here is some background on David Collum

    http://chemistry.cornell.edu/david-b-collum

    I have yet to hear any critique of Collum that states that his qualifications and experience are bogus. Here is a Twitter extract setting out Collum’s views on the current Novichok farce in the UK

    https://twitter.com/davidbcollum/status/978435092103254016

    So naturally enough Collum will be ignored by both the media and the state. But wait, it gets worse, Collum is also a sexist, a transphobe and a misogynist.

    http://cornellsun.com/2017/04/20/letter-to-the-editor-on-a-professors-misconduct/

    Luckily the “left” and the “humanitarians” can also ignore anything that David Collum may have to say. What a spot of luck – we can all march blindly into the abyss comforted either by our greed or our sense of moral purity. Our morality may divide us, but it appears that our willful stupidity unites us to the extent necessary to wreak the last act of destruction.

    Four times I tried to share your posting on my Facebook page this afternoon and four times it disappeared. Anyone else have the same problem? Are we being monitored?

    • BitBat

      When I clicked on the “Bristow went to Tashkent ” link I got a white screen with a very strange message saying something about my browser trying to see if it could connect to Craig’s blog, and then it just dropped back to this same post.

  • Republicofscotland

    Ken Livingstone on RT now, giving his views on the Skripal event. Livingstone said on BoJo, I’ve never no a man to speak and be so devoid of facts, or words to that effect.

    • Republicofscotland

      I’d say BoJo, is the clown prince of Westminster and doesn’t know how to keep a low profile.

      Johnson even compared Russia’s World Cup, with Hitler’s 1936 Olympic games. The man’s a walking car crash, every time he opens his mouth he offends someone, or some nation around the globe.

      Mundell, is beyond insignificant, on both sides of the border.

      • reel guid

        Actually England’s 2012 Olympics bore a tad more resemblance to Hitler’s 1936 Olympics than any other major sporting event. All that risible Brit propaganda in the ceremonies and the coverage.

  • CanSpeccy

    “That somebody like Bristow can become one of Britain’s most senior Ambassadors says all you need to know about the United Kingdom today.”

    That is, of course, hyperbole. But it does confirm the ancient and widely held view among the ordinary decent folk of the United Kingdom, that the scurm rises.

  • Tom Welsh

    “We have learned nothing from the Iraq War experience…”

    Au contraire. They have learned that they can get away with it, scot-free. And why would they not? Once one arrives in the upper echelons of government, one can get away with speeding on a motorway, selling vast amounts of arms illegally for use in illegal wars, lying wholesale, launching unprovoked wars of aggression (the supreme international crime) – and killing literally millions of people in the process.

    I call that “learning”. And as long as they are not punished, it will go on… and get steadily worse.

    You may ask why they have not been punished. The answer would be long and upsetting, involving as it would the destruction of the false beliefs that we live in a “democracy” under the “rule of law” which is administered equally to the rich and the poor.

    • bj

      Indeed. Tony Blair, the war criminal, is still walking around free, and still being a menace.

      • Tom Welsh

        Not least, as Craig hints, by having escaped punishment for his ghastly crimes. Many Nazis who were hanged by the Nuremberg Tribunal had done less.

        • lysias

          Julius Streicher was not involved in the killing of anyone. He was executed because of his scurrilous anti-Semitic propaganda sheet Der Stuermer. If he had been tried for that in a domestic U.S. court, the First Amendment would have protected him.

          Marshall Jodl and Keitel were executed chiefly because they denied Geneva Convention protections to Soviet prisoners of war. Something the U.S. has denied in the War on Terror to Al Qaeda and Taliban “detainees”.n

          • reel guid

            Julius Streicher was a Nazi gauleiter in Upper Franconia for many years. How could he not have been involved in killing people?

          • lysias

            Domestic killings within Germany were not within the jurisdiction of the International Military Tribunal. He was not charged for them.

            Read the judgment of the court. He was condemned for what Der Stuermer said.

          • Kempe

            If by “domestic killings” you mean the murder of millions of innocents in Germany and occupied territory they most certainly did come within the jurisdiction of the court and a number of those guilty were hung (Hans Frank and Ernst Kaltenbrunner to name but two). Part of the judgement against Streicher read:-

            For his 25 years of speaking, writing and preaching hatred of the Jews, Streicher was widely known as ‘Jew-Baiter Number One.’ In his speeches and articles, week after week, month after month, he infected the German mind with the virus of anti-Semitism, and incited the German people to active persecution. … Streicher’s incitement to murder and extermination at the time when Jews in the East were being killed under the most horrible conditions clearly constitutes persecution on political and racial grounds in connection with war crimes, as defined by the Charter, and constitutes a crime against humanity.

            I doubt the First Amendment would protect anyone from charges of incitement to persecution and murder.

          • lysias

            Stretcher could not be proved to have any part in the killings outside Germany. He was convicted because it was alleged that his publication had inspired them. A conclusion from which the First Amendment would have protected him if he had been tried in a U.S. domestic court.

            As for killings inside Germany, they were not within the jurisdiction of the International Military Tribunal. Understandably, Stalin’s Soviet Union could not allow such a precedent.

            Stretcher was obviously detestable, but was it wise to execute him for his publications? Think of how dangerous a precedent that was. How direct must the connection between publications and atrocities arguably resulting must be? Do we really want to execute journalists who supported the Vietnam War, the 1964-5 genocide in Vietnam, British Colonial wars, the Iraq war, and on and on and on?

          • lysias

            Stretcher for Streicher: one more of the crimes of Autocorrect. Why do they foist it on us?

        • Kolo

          Many Nazis who were hanged by the Nuremberg Tribunal had done less.

      Sadly true. What’s with the cravenness of the fourth estate though? My eight year old has been asking more searching questions about the government’s narrative than any of these professional journalists.

        They are not being craven: they are doing their job well.

        The job that they are being paid for, that is.

  • Tony_0pmoc

    So far as I am aware, the story is true, though they do make stuff up.

    “Pensioner, 78, arrested on suspicion of murder after suspected burglar dies in tussle at south London home”

    But why this photo? I am not suggesting that the forensic team, should not turn up, but why parade across the street, wearing blue suits ( and some wearing masks) ?
    Surely it is for the propaganda effect…or do these guys think they are the ghostbusters? A bit late for the burglar, and everyone is going to ask, why is the 78 year old victim, in jail?

    On second thoughts, did they make the entire story up, for some police drama with actors? Will it be on The Telly in a couple of months time?

  • James Gallagher

    I have also been suspicious of Britain’s response here. Rushed statements making the best of this distracting news, event while police all over the place, the daughter not likely to recover and 1 day later recovering, etc.
    Shows again we can never trust any government. All governments lie, it’s just a question of how blatant and obnoxious.
    But liers have to be careful or they can look idiots as Johnston is proving.

  • Tom Welsh

    “…[W]hat is most disheartening is that officials within the FCO and security services still do not see it as their job to prevent lies rather than to propagate them when asked by a Minister”.

    Craig, I know that your experience of the world and government in particular is vastly greater than mine will ever be. But it seems that your innate honesty and decency do tend to blind you to what should be obvious.

    The officials “do not see it as their job to prevent lies”, because it is actually their job to cheat, lie, deceive, or do literally anything they are told to by their bosses. If they were unwilling, they would have been weeded out – fired, or forced to resign. As indeed you were, after getting farther up the tree than they were probably happy about. I can just imagine the panic in Whitehall once your telegrams got around – “Panic, panic, honest man loose within the system! STOP HIM AT ALL COSTS!!!”

    The job of people in the civil service, as I see it, is to guard their masters and mistresses against the consequences of their actions – which otherwise would include swingeing penalties up to and including life sentences.

    As Dr Johnson put it in “The Idler”, “In Sir Henry Wotton’s jocular definition, ‘An Ambassador is said to be a man of virtue sent abroad to tell lies for the advantage of his country…”

    Civil servants and government ministers could be described as people of lesser virtue kept at home to tell lies for the advantage, not of the country, but of the small clique that owns and runs it.

    • Tony_0pmoc

      Tom Welsh,

      It’s not just The Civil Service. In my experience The Cream used to rise to the top, but since 1997, and The Tony Blair Government, The Turds rise to the top, and The Cream leave, cos they can’t stand working with The Shit.

    Seems to me we are all still waiting for the other shoe to drop.
    Or was the poisoning the second shoe because the Syria shoe got caught in mid air?

    You can’t seriously believe that this thing doesn’t fit into some long game plan. I know the normal politician in the Oceania Alliance isn’t all that good at playing on the grand chessboard (Zbigniew Brzezinski and Henry Kissinger have European mindsets), but surely more is yet to come.

    Trump recently said he wants to pull US troops out of Syria. Could this be the forerunner to a “wipe-them-off-the-face-of-the-map” campaign to be led by Bomber Bolton – a nice strategic limited nuclear decimation of Syria and Iran, all in one go, with no Americans on the ground to be caught in the burnout?

    All should carry full responsibility if their advice was unsound, distorted, involved wilful lying or generally showed a lack of attention to rigorous legal due process.

    All too easy for highly paid, faceless officials to get away with shocking advice and expect politicians to carry the can.

  • John Harrington

    Hi, Craig. Very interested and grateful for your pioneering work. Not sure if this sort of thing is of any interest/use to you but, if you are interested in media collusion in the Skripal case cover up. I witnessed an example of this a short while ago on BBC News 24. This is a post that I have been posting on various social media about this:

    The video clip, which is being circulated by much of the mainstream media is, for some unknown reason, missing out the very key part i.e the fact that Johnson’s quote is in reply to the interviewer’s question “Mr Johnson, you argue that the source of this nerve agent Novichok is Russia…”

    This is very significant because the Government are trying to push the li(n)e that Johnson was merely saying that it was absolutely categorical that it was Novichok, not that it was Russia that was behind it. This is a downright misrepresentation.

    Here is the full interview. The relevant question is at 4min 40.
    http://www.dw.com/…/boris-johnson-accused-of-mak…/a-43251856

    And, if anyone needed any more proof of the media’s, specifically the BBC’s, compliance in this, on BBC News 24, their Security Correspondent, Frank Gardner, has just been talking about this video.

    They showed the same truncated clip as in this article and he said “We tried very hard to find the bit where he is alleged to have said Porton Down told him it definitely came from Russia. We couldn’t find that…” Well, Mr Gardner, if you had wound the video back 5 seconds, it was right there for you.

    There is collusion and obfuscation going on here, which should make us all very suspicious.

    • Mochyn69

      Suspicious!? I am actually very worried as it’s not at all clear what the toxic tories’ endgame is.

      But I am very clear that the BBC is beyond a shadow of a doubt now nothing more than a mouthpiece for the government’s official line.

    • Tony_0pmoc

      Very interessting, though I had to do google translate in 4 or 5 shots… This is the end bit – re why Macron Changed his mind. He obviously knows who the boss is.

      “It is not a simple revenge for not having succeeded in destabilizing Assad with a chemical attack as Strategika thinks, or the will to rot the world football, as feared Ms. Zakharova. This does not preclude either hypothesis, but they are too narrow. The current violent attack against Russia is more fundamental.

      It is actually a war to the death against the Russo-Chinese alliance and their desire to create a monetary circuit independent of the dollar, which ultimately sign its death. And the presence of Emmanuel Macron, the former “Rothschild boy” in the case is the missing link in the explanation.

      For now, China seems too big for them. But she is openly showing solidarity with Russia. This explains the furious and unusual article of the quasi-official Chinese Communist Party Global Times reported by Alexander Mercouris in The Duran, an article that expresses China’s full and unabashed official support for Russia’s masked aggression of international finance.

      China opened the futures market for crude oil last Monday. The reception of the market was enthusiastic from the first day, which had the effect of giving a considerable boost to the value of the Yuan on the international market.

      Hello petroyuan.

      Russia is the main supplier to China.

      Goodbye the petrodollar!

      There is no need for conspiracy theories, reality is far more interesting. The Russian Affairs Representative of the German government, Gernot Erler (SPD), said that the German government (like other Nato governments) “has been under pressure.” Clearly, the Brits threatened to activate the mutual assistance clause of Nato. To show “solidarity” was the only way of preventing that.
