SUBSTACK (The Grayzone) - British chemical warfare commentator's MI6 ties exposed in leaked emails
By Kit Klarenberg
Private messages show show Hamish De Bretton-Gordon, a top British pundit on the Salisbury poisoning incident, was a close associate of the MI6 officer who handled the Russian intelligence defector at the center of the scandal — and reaped considerable benefits from his proximity to the case. This September, a former British Army officer named Hamish De Bretton-Gordon filed a column with the UK Telegraph complaining that “Russian bots” had “tried to make out that I’m part of a security service conspiracy.” Having shot to prominence as a media commentator on chemical and biological weapons after the alleged poisoning of turncoat Russian spy Sergei Skripal , De Bretton-Gordon dismissed accusations that he collaborated with UK…Open
What did the leaked emails reveal about De Bretton-Gordon's public statements regarding "Russian bots" and his ties to the security services?
In September, De Bretton-Gordon filed a column in the UK Telegraph complaining that "Russian bots" were trying to claim he was part of a security service conspiracy, which he dismissed as the "Kremlin’s malign tactics." However, the leaked emails reviewed by The Grayzone showed that he had spent years privately coordinating his public statements with senior British military and intelligence figures, contradicting his public denials.

How did Hamish De Bretton-Gordon respond to critics who challenged the narrative of Russian chemical weapons and the "dirty war" in Syria?
De Bretton-Gordon was highly critical of those who questioned the established narrative. He derided former British Ambassador to Syria Peter Ford as a "complete See You Next Tuesday" and called for Ford and a group of antiwar academics to be "prosecuted for treason." He also celebrated the "exposure" of critics he labeled as "useful idiots" and suggested that more of them should be brought out in the open.

What was the nature of the relationship between Hamish De Bretton-Gordon and the MI6 officer Pablo Miller following the 2018 Salisbury poisoning?
The two men maintained a close private correspondence where Miller thanked De Bretton-Gordon for his "sterling media work" during the "dark days" of March and April 2018. De Bretton-Gordon provided Miller with "heads-up" warnings about media presence in Salisbury and shared his Telegraph articles with him. The relationship appeared to blur into personal territory, as evidenced by Miller asking De Bretton-Gordon to help publicize a Kickstarter for his daughter’s theatre production.

What specific actions did Hamish De Bretton-Gordon take regarding the Syrian conflict and the investigation into chemical weapons?
De Bretton-Gordon was part of a covert MI6 effort to smuggle soil samples out of opposition-controlled areas in Syria to suggest the government used chemical weapons. He also provided evidence to official investigations, including an OPCW/UN Joint Investigative Mechanism probe into a 2014 gas strike in Talmenes, where videos submitted by his NGO, the CBRN Taskforce, showed signs of falsification. Furthermore, he boasted in emails about briefing the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) on Syrian chemical weapons and "a bit of Novichok."

How did Hamish De Bretton-Gordon benefit financially and professionally from his role as a commentator on Russian chemical weapons?
De Bretton-Gordon served as the Managing Director for CBRN at Avon Protection Systems, a firm that manufactured protective equipment like gas masks. The company saw its business "booming" with government orders following the Salisbury incident. Additionally, De Bretton-Gordon was rewarded with a position as a "senior CBRN mentor" in Britain’s Ministry of Defence, which provided him with an MOD ID card and railcard for travel. He later founded a personal "CBRN and bio security" consulting firm to continue profiting from his media prominence and warnings regarding chemical and biological threats.

What were the private correspondences between Hamish De Bretton-Gordon and Pablo Miller regarding the BBC's production of "The Salisbury Poisonings"?
The leaked emails show that De Bretton-Gordon served as a go-between for Miller and the BBC, whose journalists had become aware of Miller's identity as an MI6 officer. De Bretton-Gordon informed Miller that he was advising the BBC on the drama and offered Miller a role in the production. Miller declined, stating he was firmly opposed to playing any part for any BBC show, while De Bretton-Gordon revealed that the Ministry of Defence (MOD) had specifically requested his help to ensure the "military bit looks right."
