Key Findings:
A Ukrainian businessman named Volodymyr Verbonol and partners were behind the company that owned the ammonium nitrate shipment.
The company was part of a sprawling, decades-old network involved in chemical trading since at least the early 2000s.
The network disguised its operations behind at least half a dozen trade names and various strawmen and shell companies.
Offshore service providers in Cyprus and the United Kingdom facilitated the network’s operations.
How many Anons think these chemicals were kept in Beirut to create some nasty weapons and got destroyed when the black hats, perhaps, panicked at that time?
That ammonium nitrate had been sitting around for years due to dispute over fees. At the time the govt. of Lebanon was a mess, money collapsing, lots of debt, this destruction made everything worse, a few days ago they announced they were broke. If there was a nefarious plot against Lebanon, blowing up Beirut by leaving this huge pile of explosives to blow up after aging a little and becoming more unstable would be a way to cover tracks. There was argument over what set it off. Who would benefit from either destroying the port, or completely bankrupting the country?
lots of vids trying to see if there was a missile or what--general story was a fire set it off https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oKFupx9x0-k https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LNDhIGR-83w one year later https://youtu.be/MiPjKZIb6-0
I recently saw a video of what looked to be a bomb of some sort coming from the side just before the explosion, could be edited of course but obviously I wouldn't put it past some people to do that sort of thing.
Oh, yes, there were lots of vids and arguments like that. But the point is, if for some reason you wanted to set off a huge bomb in a city, what better way than to have a boat or warehouse full of an explosive and leave it there a few years. Then there's the tragic accident. In this case it is covered up by a charge dispute and the negligence of the port authority who let it stay there. They all look bad and point the finger at each other and nothing is really resolved. I'm suggesting it could be deliberate sabotage by someone who didn't mind waiting a year or so.
