    Novichok: "Shaken: not stirred..." As Sean would say... Archived Message

    Posted by Ken Waldron on March 3, 2019, 10:39 pm

    The latest fabula on how the most toxic poison in the world was a dud: them incompetent Ruskies forgot to follow the instructions because...the bottle has a hitherto unknown "isolated compartment" and a "...a needle or or other mechanism..." but "the terrorist - in a rush - did not shake the bottle multiple times..." as required. Its all clear now. Obviously Dawn Sturgess was an expert at piecing discrete compartments of nerve agent secretly hidden in perfume bottles and knew exactly where the magic invisible pin was to press it. She also knew that you had to shake it to make it effective and did so, because after all, hers was a new bottle of Novichok: still in unbroken cellophane as I recall her boyfriend explicitly stating.
    Thus the conclusion we should make from all this is of course that the Russians should have hired poor Dawn Sturgess to do the dirty on the Skripals because, as she proved by killing herself, she actually knew how these things worked better than any Russian agent could.

    btw: Anyone seen the Skripals recently? Where are the Skripals?


    Skripals only survived nerve agent attack 'because blundering Russian hitmen forgot to shake perfume bottle containing the killer Novichok'
    says Moscow expert Vil Mirzayanov, a whistleblower , claims this is the reason the Skripals survived. The 83-year-old who now lives in the US also called the GRU agents 'terrorists'
    He added that the cold temperature also minimised the impact of the attack
    The perfume bottle was later handled by Dawn Sturgess, 44, who died


    Blundering Russian GRU hitmen failed to carry out orders to 'shake' a perfume bottle containing deadly Novichok poison, says an ex-Moscow scientist who co-developed the nerve agent.

    Vil Mirzayanov - a whistleblower now living in exile in the US - claims this is the reason Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia survived the horrific attack in Salisbury one year ago on March 4.

    Mr Mirzayanoz, who branded the Russian GRU military intelligence agents as 'terrorists', said: 'As a specialist, I want to finally clarify the reason for the non-lethal Novichok concentration of the door handle.'

    'Judging by the published scheme of the bottle used by the terrorists, inside it was an isolated compartment containing Novichok, according to the English specialists.'


    Just prior to the attack the fake perfume bottle - containing Novichok - was supposed to be mixed with a solution or solvent, said Mirzayanov in a posting in Russian.

    This allowed for the chemical weapon to be sprayed.

    'In this case the target was a door handle,' he said.

    The agent making the attack had to push a needle or or other mechanism 'then several times shake the bottle to achieve fast and complete synthesis of the Novichok.'

    He claimed: 'Evidently the terrorist - in a rush - did not shake the bottle multiple times'.

    On the day of the attack, the air temperature was cold 'which led to a low concentration of Novichok inside the bottle' - also minimising the impact of the attack.

    'This led to a relatively low, in other words, non-lethal concentration of Novichok sprayed on the door handle.

    'This is why the Skripals did not die.'

    Despite this, the thrown away perfume bottle was later handled by Dawn Sturgess, 44, who died as a result of a more intense exposure to the nerve agent.

    Her partner Charlie Rowley was contaminated but survived.

    In September, Scotland Yard and the Crown Prosecution Service said there was sufficient evidence to charge two Russian nationals named as Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov with offences including conspiracy to murder over the Salisbury nerve agent attack.

    It was subsequently reported by Bellingcat that Mr Boshirov was actually highly decorated Colonel Anatoliy Chepiga, and Mr Petrov was a military doctor called Alexander Yevgenyevich Mishkin.
