JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF CORPORATE PRESS PROPAGANDA - RUSSOPHOBIA TUCKED NEATLY INTO A POP SCIENCE "WHAT IF THIS HAPPENED?" KIND OF ARTICLE

COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE INDEPENDENT



“What a Novichok attack on Heathrow Airport would look like”



Shame on you, I just don’t think propaganda comes in any sillier and more transparent form than this.

Why is Novichok featured? Simply because the name is associated with Russia.

But it is only one of many nerve agents - Sarin, Tabun VX, Soman, and still others.

And many of these nerve agents are kept in the arsenals of the United Sates and Israel, countries which have not yet complied with the international protocols on poison agents as Russia has, disposing of its stocks, and ditto for Syria.

You, of course, could also have used an attack with anything else from the gigantic arsenals of many countries.
