Ahead of a report by the scandal-plagued OPCW, a former UK/NATO soldier is cited by The Guardian to dismiss "the supposed whistleblower controversy" as part of a "Russian-led disinformation campaign" that was "comprehensively rejected." This is in fact blatant disinformation. 1/
2/ There was no Russian-led "campaign." There is an OPCW inspector-led whistleblower scandal. Two OPCW inspectors *who led Douma investigation* say their evidence was excluded & distorted. 2 other officials back them up.

3/ The whistleblowers' claims were not "comprehensively rejected." The OPCW put out a laughable "inquiry" that entirely avoided the whistleblowers' claims & instead tried to impugn their integrity & downplay their roles. https://thegrayzone.com/2020/03/05/opcw-whistleblowers-attacks-cover-up-douma-deception/
4/ Western media has followed OPCW's lead & completely ignored engaging with the whistleblower's voluminous evidence. Adversarial outlets that parroted the false narrative have followed suit too. We'll see if that changes when the OPCW puts out this new report.
5/ Here's the Guardian article I quoted, forgot to include screenshot: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/06/report-set-to-blame-syria-chemical-attacks-on-bashar-al-assad
6/ The collective yawn by Western media -- including adversarial media -- at OPCW whistleblower story is frustrating, but also to be expected by anyone who's read Manufacturing Consent. I'm hopeful this will change. Evidence is overwhelming, & time has a way of easing cowardice.
