Queen Elizabeth II Presents Award to Britain’s Porton Down Secret Weapons Lab

After seven months of feeling cooped up in her tiny Windsor Castle, Queen Elizabeth II decided to leave her self-imposed COVID-19 bubble on Oct. 15 for an outing, her first in seven months. Where did the monarch go? Was it the Ladies’ Society for the Advancement of Learning? A hospital for the poor and needy? A gathering of recovered Covid-19 patients?

No, the Queen went to the nefarious and highly secretive Porton Down weapons lab hidden near Salisbury, England.

In her visit, in which she was accompanied by her grandson Prince William, second heir to the throne, after she toured the top secret Defence Science and Technology Laboratory, and the lab’s new Energetics Analysis Center, she presented Porton Down and soldiers with an award, the Firmin Sword of Peace, one of the highest military accolades. Specifically, it was awarded to the 102nd Logistic Brigade. Why? For their role in their handling and identifying Novichok as the nerve agent that was allegedly used to poison Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in March 2018. Thus, the House of Windsor lauded this hoax publically at the very moment that the British are attempting to use the “Russians hacked the DNC computer” to defeat the re-election of President Trump.

In August of this year, the Russian so-called dissident Alexander Navalny was allegedly poisoned with Novichok — which seems to be surprisingly ineffective for a dangerous chemical weapon. Recall that Der Spiegel magazine reported that experts at Berlin’s Charite hospital where Navalny was taken for treatment, consulted Britain’s Porton Down lab, precisely “because of possible similarities with the 2018 Skripal attack.”

Porton Down, founded in 1916, has a notorious past. From 1945 to 1989, Porton exposed more than 3,400 human “guinea pigs” to nerve gas. In May 1953, a young British airman, Ronald Maddison, died after liquid nerve gas was dripped onto his arm by Porton “scientists” in an experiment. The death was ruled as “accidental.” Queen Elizabeth knows well the history of Porton Down.
