“Skripal in Prison — The First Book to Report the Truth”
Wow, what a story.
I’ve taken an interest in the Skripal case from the beginning, never for a moment accepting Theresa May’s feeble tale and unsupported public accusations against a major leader.
Many ideas swirl around those events, including Skripal conducting various dirty dealings with other intelligence services. Also, with being a contributor to Steele’s “dossier.”
Is it possible John Helmer, long-term resident in Russia, has received this information from Russian security services, who likely do know something of what actually happened?
A comment on the citations from critics:
Very disappointed to see the negative tone of what Joe Lauria of Consortium News said, “You are picking on a dead man who can’t answer for himself” Of course, not having seen the book, I don’t know just what Lauria is talking about, but it is a highly negative comment clearly intended to shut down discussion.
As for Jeremy Kinsman, former policy advisor to the most incompetent PM we have in the Western World, Justin Trudeau, who helped destroy Canada’s relationship with China, calling the author “a notorious conspiracy theorist,” all I can do is laugh.
Anyone who uses that threadbare term about anything marks himself out as making a propaganda point. The term was actually manufactured by CIA disinformation folks back in the 1960s as a put-down of all the researchers looking into the Kennedy assassination. And in the end, of course it was the Warren Report itself that proved the genuine “conspiracy theory.”
