The incident, which resulted in dozens of civilian casualties, was blamed on the Syrian government by the US, UK and France, who launched retaliatory airstrikes on multiple targets in that nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The interim report claimed that \u201cvarious chlorinated organic chemicals were found\u201d in different locations on the scene, but strangely said nothing about the&nbsp;<em>levels<\/em>&nbsp;at which those chemicals were found. The&nbsp;<em>Moon of Alabama<\/em>&nbsp;blog&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.moonofalabama.org\/2018\/07\/syria-opcw-issues-first-report-of-chemical-weapon-attack-in-douma.html\">highlighted this suspicious exclusion<\/a>&nbsp;on the day the report came out, noting that levels are absolutely essential in determining chemical weapons use when you\u2019re talking about compounds which are found virtually everywhere at some level in any industrialized region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe preliminary OPCW report says nothing about the concentrations in which these substances were found,\u201d MoA observed. \u201cWithout knowing the concentrations, which may be extremely low, one can not come to further conclusion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe \u2018various chlorinated organic chemicals\u2019 are unsurprising,\u201d MoA wrote. \u201cChlorine is widely used for water purification and cleaning and \u2018chlorinated organic chemicals\u2019 will be found in any household.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/wikileaks\/status\/1198390941314420736\">new addition<\/a>\u00a0to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@caityjohnstone\/the-hugely-important-opcw-scandal-keeps-unfolding-heres-why-no-one-s-talking-about-it-3632903f22a2\">body of leaks which have been hemorrhaging from the OPCW<\/a>\u00a0shows that such skepticism was indeed entirely warranted. A leaked email sent shortly before the interim report was published reveals that the chlorinated organic chemicals which OPCW investigators found on the scene were as low as one or two parts-per-<em><strong>billion<\/strong><\/em>, meaning, just as\u00a0<em>Moon of Alabama<\/em>\u00a0speculated last year, that they were found at trace quantities you\u2019d expect to find in any industrialized area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New OPCW Leak Further Vindicates Skeptics Of Establishment Syria Narrative On the sixth of July last year, the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW)&nbsp;released its interim report&nbsp;on its findings regarding an alleged poison gas attack in Douma, Syria in April 2018.
