In early September 2018, I purchased a copy of the Daily Mail because on its front cover was a picture of two Russians who were being ‘revealed’ as the assailants responsible for poisoning the Skripals with Novichok. As soon as I saw the picture of the two Russians, I thought that it was odd because it looked to have been highly magnified and showed elements of distortion. Given modern camera technology and the megapixels available to capture detailed images, it seemed strange to me that the picture was of such low quality. When I got home and read the various articles on the subject within the Daily Mail, there were extra pictures of the Russians, which also seemed to exhibit distortion and the more I looked at them, the more I became convinced that the pictures were not as straightforward as they seemed. I believe that the pictures show evidence of having been altered or tampered with. Yet, when I forwarded the details of my concerns to alternative news outlets, none of them seemed to believe that there was anything significant to report on. I then forwarded the details to Russia Today, but even this mainstream news outlet was not prepared to examine the anomalies that I had highlighted. I am not saying that the events pictured in the Daily Mail did not happen. I am just saying that the ‘evidence’ looks to have been altered in some way. If I am right, then it raises questions over why someone would go to the trouble to do this. Have the UK Security Services had the images ‘doctored’ to mislead the public about what the pictures actually prove? Are we being deceived and is the Daily Mail and other mainstream news outlets like the BBC, pushing out anti-Russian propaganda? In the end, all I can do is show where the anomalies are and leave it to the reader to make up their own mind. The pictures below have been downloaded from the Mail Online website and all I have done is to add a red oval or a red arrow to the parts of the pictures that look suspicious. Let’s start with the picture of the two Russians at Salisbury train station, where I have highlighted an issue with one of the Russian’s legs. The man on the left clearly has a left leg that looks to be broken, in that a section of the shin is out of alignment with the rest of his leg. Even with enlargement and pixels becoming more ‘blocky’, I do not see how this would cause part of the leg to be shunted to one side. Next, let’s look at the picture of the two Russians walking in Salisbury. Once again, there is a problem with one of the Russian’s legs and with the lady in the foreground. This time, the man on the left seems to have a broken right ankle. From the angle that the photo was taken, the man’s right leg seems to be behind his left leg and yet his right foot is in view and disconnected from his leg at the ankle. In addition and less obvious is the lady in the foreground. From the angle that the picture was taken, where it looks down on pedestrians, the lady seems to be too tall and too big, when compared with the Russians. It is as if she has been photographed separately from behind and then added to the image. Additionally, let’s look at a picture of the Russians walking by some railings in Salisbury, where I have highlighted a problem with one of the Russian’s head, his heel and the road to his left. For me, this is the most problematic picture of them all because one of the railing posts can be seen to go directly into the head of the Russian on the left. Not only that, but the man’s hair seems to go around the back of the post, which should be impossible. If you look at the same man’s left heel, it appears to have a section that is blacked out. Also, to the left of the same man and on the other side of the railings, there is a section of the road that has been greyed out. Finally, we have another impossible picture of the Russians at Heathrow airport. In this one, I have highlighted a trolley behind one of the Russians. Behind the Russian that has just walked through the turnstiles, there is a man who has a trolley behind him and yet the trolley’s wheel appears in front of the man’s leg. If anyone can explain the above anomalies, then I would be very interested to hear from you. For now, I think that it is safe to say that these images are highly suspicious.
