Russian double agent Sergei Skripal may have been exposed to nerve poison planted in his car air vents, it was claimed last night.
The former Russian spy and his daughter Yulia may have inhaled a ‘dust-like’ form of the lethal Novichok toxin, three sources claimed.
This is one problem you’d face if you are a target. Modern wireless entry systems can easily be spoofed, meaning any time your car is out of your sight, it could be entered, and anything could happen, unless you disarm that keyless entry system, and take measures to protect against a slim-jim. The only other option is keep your car in a locked garage without a keyless entry itself, and try to park where you can keep an eye on it when out.
It is strange the Russians would do it this way though, because unless that Novichok agent degrades rapidly once mixed, it would be almost guaranteed to hit whoever drove the car afterward. If it was the Russians, it might point to those binary nerve agents having a fairly short half life. It might also be why whoever did it under-dosed him, rather than use more than enough and risk him opening the door in an enclosed parking garage and gassing fifteen or twenty people, thereby creating a much larger international incident.
It highlights how vulnerable the right will be when the collapse goes down, and how a lot of people are preparing the wrong way. Guns and defenses are fine, but any real enemy who poses a threat is not going to use conventional means in first world-nations. They will not come at you face to face, with a hard, kinetic attack, especially when that is what everyone is preparing for. They will hit you in ways where you will not even know you were hit until it is too late.
Everybody needs to start thinking in terms of that new paradigm, and figuring out how they would hit themselves with poisons and biologicals, using deception and guile, and how they would protect against and prevent such attacks before they could be launched.
Unless Trump and Q really deliver before the Apocalypse, ITZ coming. Be ready.
In fact, be ready even if they do deliver, because regardless what they tell you, throughout history, conspiracies that kill are the natural condition of mankind.
You should tell others about r/K Theory, because your ass could be on the line
Craig Murray, the UK’s ex Ambassador to Uzbekistan has published several comment pieces on this situation.
First one is about Iran being the first country to successfully produced a Novichok agent, in cooperation with the OPCW.

How Porton Down is under pressure to say it is Russia and how the Foreign Office is deliberately twisting their words which means they do no it isn’t Russia or better yet haven’t a clue.

And how Boris Johnson is creating a new narrative:

But what kind of paranoid jackass would do that?!? Oh, right, me.
Another assassination technique that leaves no immediate forensic evidence that also works by exploiting a car’s air vents:
Dry ice is hidden in there so that the outside air flow over it sublimates it, filling the passenger compartment with CO2 levels high enough to cause sudden driver/passenger unconsciousness at some point (depending on temperature of inlet air, that is, vent heating on or off, and vent air flow over a given surface area of the dry ice), this then leading to an accident.
Because the accident itself would not be definitely deadly in all cases, usually agents follow the car and pose as first aiders making sure the accident is indeed deadly.
The dry ice, only direct forensic evidence of anything unusual, vanishes by itself completely in a specifiable time (by surface area, hiding position, local heat transfer etc.).
This is much more elegant than, for example a car bomb, ;
witnesses or cameras will only remember/record a “genuine” accident of the kind that happens many times each day.
While this technique is at least 50 years old and should be generally known to all serious intelligence agencies today, much more modern chemical agents are available that are also undetectable while causing sudden unconsciousness or even death that are easily applicable over the air; it’s not just that a certain chemical compound can be used; there are powerful methods from the field of micro-encapsulation that allow for producing aerosols with specifically tailored characteristics; for example by applying layers around a drug particle it can be made so to become taste- and odorless, dissolve only with a specific delay, or “self-destruct” after a given time exposed to air due to an outer hull being ablated slowly by oxygen, then triggering another layer that activates a chemical reaction to neutralize the core chemical in the aerosol microcapsule, while this mechanism will not be induced when the aerosol microcapsule contacts water (that is, becomes inhaled and is in contact with the pulmonary alveoli’s water surface – which then just triggers the release of the carried core chemical agent for release through the alveoli in the blood stream; there can be even other, also delayed-effect layers that deliver an agent that binds the primary agent in the blood after the deadly effect is ensured, making finding forensic evidence even unlikely when using gas chromatography mass spectrometry and the like) . This made self-vanishing chemical agents of all sorts possible, and this technology exists for at least 20 years.
If the Russians had attempted to surreptitiously kill people they surely would not have bothered with something so comparably clumsy that it leaves such obvious and easily detectable evidence.
Therefore, I’d guess this is more of a political stunt targeted at making the Russians look bad.
