You have attempted to connect with me on FB, are you kidding or just nuts.

I guess if you lie about the CIA, then I expect I should be flattered if you lie about me.  Not sure what you gain from spreading lies, but I guess maybe you are too old to learn anything new.  I always viewed learning as a life long process and since I actually know something about chemical weapons, I have an interest in them.  I also have an interest in exposing liars if they lie about me personally.

I have sent my full reply to Boyle to the expert quoted by ABC News, the Editor of this publication in the UK.  I hope that I get a reply from him.

Novichok agents, however, are unusual for their strength, Gwynn Winfield, a chemical weapons expert with the publication CBRNe World, told ABC News. He said they required much larger doses of more complicated antidotes.

Yeah right.

Counterpunch is not exactly a truthful source and they never correct their lies.  I am not paid by anyone.  I never have been paid by anyone.  I got into this because I know what I am talking about and because Rokke lied about me and I decided to find out what else he was lying about.  Sorry that you are dumb enough to believe liars.  I personally do not believe liars of any stripe, right left or in--between.  I have never lied about anything.  My insistence on truth made me into a whistleblower. A genuine one, not one who claims to have been one.

Come on Roger, Counterpunch already blew your cover, as a paid USG troll. So stop it. Just because the powers that control the Peace Discuss List, find it amusing to have you provoking others and allow you to continue with your propaganda, doesn’t mean we buy it.

Much more accurate source than rant from FAB's buddy Rokke, who probably knows nothing about the incident in UK either - I think I sent this list the preliminary report on that - if not, I will.

For Immediate Release
OPCW Director-General on Allegations of Chemical Weapons Use in Douma, Syria
THE HAGUE, Netherlands — 9 April 2018 — The Director-General of Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), Ambassador Ahmet Üzümcü, expressed his grave concern in response to the alleged chemical weapons attack on 7 April in Douma, Syrian Arab Republic.
The OPCW Situation Centre has been closely monitoring the incident and made a preliminary analysis of the reports of the alleged use of chemical weapons immediately after they were issued. The Fact Finding Mission (FFM) is in the process of gathering further information from all available sources to establish whether chemical weapons were used. The FFM will report its findings to States Parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention.
Background
The Chemical Weapons Convention comprehensively prohibits the use, development, production, stockpiling and transfer of chemical weapons.
In response to persistent allegations of chemical weapon attacks in Syria, the OPCW Fact Finding Mission (FFM) was set up in 2014 “to establish facts surrounding allegations of the use of toxic chemicals, reportedly chlorine, for hostile purposes in the Syrian Arab Republic”.  The FFM is required to study available information relating to allegations of use of chemical weapons in Syria, including information provided by the Syrian Arab Republic and others.
Since May 2014, the OPCW has deployed the FFM in numerous occasions to the Syrian Arab Republic and outside of Syria and has kept States Parties informed of its work. The FFM interviews witnesses and obtains samples and physical evidence for analysis.
In 2015, the OPCW Executive Council and the UN Security Council endorsed the continual operation of the FFM.
The FFM’s findings established the facts surrounding allegations of the use of toxic chemicals as weapons in Syria and confirmed that chemical weapons had been used. The FFM’s findings were the basis for the work of the OPCW-UN Joint Investigative Mechanism (JIM), an independent body established by the UN Security Council (Resolution 2235, 7 August 2015). The JIM’s purpose was to identify the perpetrators of the chemical weapon attacks confirmed by the Fact Finding Mission. The JIM’s mandate expired in December 2017.
As the implementing body for the Chemical Weapons Convention, the OPCW oversees the global endeavour to permanently and verifiably eliminate chemical weapons. Since the Convention’s entry into force in 1997 – and with its 192 States Parties – it is the most successful disarmament treaty eliminating an entire class of weapons of mass destruction.
Over ninety-six per cent of all chemical weapon stockpiles declared by possessor States have been destroyed under OPCW verification. For its extensive efforts in eliminating chemical weapons, the OPCW received the 2013 Nobel Prize for Peace.
