\nCaspar David Friedrich\u00a0The Monk by the Sea\u00a0<\/b>c1809<\/center>\u201cThe Kremlin\u201d poisoned their \u201cfierce rival\u201d Navalny with the infamous deadly agent novichok. That is the headline. Only, the German accusation in that direction doesn\u2019t say novichok, its says a \u201ccholinesterase inhibitor\u201d, of which novichok is just one example, was used. The news outlets must be thinking that at least after the Skripal case, enough people will recognize the term, and let\u2019s not confuse them.The Germans claim they have \u201cunequivocal proof\u201d (eindeutiger Beweis) for this. While the Russian doctors who initially treated Navalny after he fell ill on a flight from Tomsk to Omsk (or was that the other way around?!) said he showed zero signs of poisoning. But yeah, they\u2019re Russians, so they can\u2019t be trusted, right? They all squander their Hippocratic oaths at the feet of the great malevolent dictator\u00a0Trump<\/span>\u00a0Putin. You\u2019re familiar with the parable about \u201call Cretans lie\u201d?<\/p>\n

\u201cMerkel spokesman Seibert said the German government will inform its partners in the European Union and NATO about the test results..\u201d NATO? What do they have to do with anything? How does the alleged poisoning of a two-bit (2% in the polls) Russian \u201cpolitician\u201d link to NATO? Is Navalny himself linked to NATO? Where does NATO come in to the conversation? How much does the CIA pay Navalny anyway?<\/p>\n

The thing, the problem, is that it makes no difference anymore even if this particular instance has a kernel of truth in it. Because there have been so many of them, and they\u2019re all \u201cbased\u201d on non-evidence, circumstantial \u201cevidence\u201d, stuff that you wouldn\u2019t get a conviction on in any western court. For good reason.<\/p>\n
