Memory-Holing the “novichok” lie – we need to make sure that doesn’t happen
With the announcement by Porton Down they they can’t – as most of us already guessed – identify the alleged “novichok” type poison that allegedly harmed the Skripals as being of Russian origin, certain things will inevitably follow.
1. The stunned silence while the mainstream media awaits guidelines on how to handle this unexpected intrusion of reality into the narrative
2. A subsequent massive retrenchment, in which recent history is re-shaped, language tortured, tweets deleted and an entire narrative is Memory-Holed before our eyes.
The second part is already happening, and will develop over the next few days. Today’s EU statement to the OPCW shows the way.

This manipulation is sometimes carried out directly by the elites and sometimes indirectly, through populist leaders.”

The natural means would be if a million angels with flaming swords were to descend on Germany and destroy it.
