STRIKE THE TRUTH

In Part 2 of the series, we had a look at the family moving to England and finished with Sergei and Yulia lying on a park bench, foaming at the mouth and comatose. They have been exposed to the deadly nerve agent, Novichok. In this post, we will take an in-depth look at Novichok and also at the two perpetrators of this crime, and the events that transpired.  NOVICHOK AGENTS  Novichok agents are a group of deadly nerve agents that have been developed in the Soviet Union, under their poisons program. ( We covered this in THIS post.) They were developed under a programme with the codename FOLIANT.  Examples of structures of Novichok agents  The Novichok agents first came to media awareness when a Russian chemist, Dr Vil Mirzayanov reported on their existence to Russia media in the 1990s. He wrote about it in his book, State Secrets, and even published the chemical formula. He moved to the USA around the same time, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the so called ''brain

"A person gives over his whole life for his homeland and then some bastard comes along and betrays such people. How will he be able to look into the eyes of his children, the pig. Whatever they got in exchange for it, those 30 pieces of silver they were given, they will choke on them. Believe me!”  Mr. Putin, practically snarling, said when asked to comment about the swap on live television.  Mr Vladimir Putin, President of Russia  In Part 1 , we left off with Mr Sergey Skripal being taken to USA on a private plane after being exchanged in a swap, together with 3 other people. OPERATION GHOST STORIES After years of observation and gathering intelligence, the FBI (US Federal Bureau of Investigations) led a sting against 10 Russia sleeper agents on June 27, 2010. Instead of putting them in jail, the US government decided that it was worth it to swap these 10 spies back to Russia for 4 people that the US was interested in. The idea was to do this swap and then this whole episode coul

When the President of Russia calls you a traitor and a scumbag, you know you are in trouble! This trouble rang true for Sergei Skripal, and his daughter in 2018 when they were poisoned with Novichok. It is a deadly nerve agent, so lethal that a miniscule amount is enough to kill a human! So what did Sergei Skripal do that was so awful that the President of Russia ordered his assassination? "He is just a scumbag. He is just a spy, a traitor to the homeland." Vladimir Putin  EARLY LIFE Sergei Victorovich Skripal was born on 23 June, 1951 in Kaliningrad Oblast. He grew up in Ozyorsk and his parents were working people. His dad was a land improvement contractor and his mother worked with the local council.  Sergei Skripal in his military uniform He worked his whole life in the military and intelligence, with his career starting in 1972 when he studied military engineering at Zhdanov school in Kaliningrad.

When drop dead gorgeous, wannabe model and ex -n anny Omaima Nelson decided to butcher her much older husband, and cook him with the Thanksgiving leftovers, she bit off more than she could chew. In  Part 1 , we went over how the young seductress charmed her man, caught him in her trap by marrying a few days after meeting him, and then proceeded to kill him after their whirlwind honeymoon. Omaima needed some help to dispose of the body, so she approached an ex-lover, José. The poor man, having his ex with a bag of human remains in her car on his doorstep, immediately called the police. They came over straight away and began a crazy investigation. The victim, William "Bill" Nelson  POLICE INVESTIGATION Omaima denied everything when the police arrived and started questioning her about José's claims. She told officers that Bill was on a business trip in Florida. One police officer described her as ' 'co-operative, but the answers she's giving to the questions, are

Bill Nelson thought he met the love of his life in young and beautiful Omaima. The ir tale could have been a storybook romance, but instead it turned gruesome. On Thanksgiving Day in 1991, Omaima wanted a little more special meat than what could be bought in stores, so she set her gazes closer to home to hunt down her prey, and quell her appetite. Omaima Nelson was a beauty, seen here on Bill's red Corvette Omaima Aree Nelson was a beautiful woman with a very tragic past. She was born in 1968, and grew up in a small farming village in Southern Egypt, close to the Sudanese border. She, along with her mother, had suffered immense sexual and physical assault the hands of her father. Omaima's lawyer is quoted to have described him as  "a violent man, had a very bad temper.'' Her mother managed to break free from the marriage. As money was tight after the divorce from the patriarch of the family, Omaima and her mother moved to a slum in Cairo.  It was nicknamed the &quo
