And they said we should just accept it on their credibility.

I had the occasion to look this up again, so I thought I should post it for more than the shitlib I got it for (so now it’s also for the three of you sorting by new at this hour)

When it first hit the news I was talking to a friend who works at US embassies and I cracked a joke about it. He got really offended and insisted he had really good evidence he couldn’t share for security reasons that it was real.

A few months later he apologized.

How hard did you laugh? I wouldn’t have been able to hold back

Not that hard. He did admit he was wrong after all.

I just found it delightful to have a concrete example of internet shitposts having a better understanding of geopolitics than state department briefings.

HAVANA Care for all the American public servants who have incurred brain injuries likely from directed energy attacks

So this is just long COVID right?

Most likely this is a cover story they are using because with directed meme weapons.

evidence is when i make accusations. declassified evidence is when i make accusations on TV.

jesus, it really was like 2003 and Ari Fleischer all over again. though the bush administration at least maintained “well there’s also top secret evidence to support [our justification for being in a war on the other side of the planet], but we can’t talk about it yet. when we do finally release it, you’ll all apologize to us.”

liberals who swallow this unchewed shit deserve deep and public humiliation.

I firmly believe that the “false flag” that they were expecting was going to be Ukraine’s attack on Donetsk, which was flaring up with increased shelling that we saw getting seriously bad in the daily OSCE reports we were all watching at that time. They were expecting Ukraine to go in and they were getting ahead of it by spreading the idea that this would be a Russian false flag and pretense for Russian action.

This didn’t happen because instead of waiting for Ukraine to do this action the Russians instead decided to get ahead of it entirely and just invade. They actually caught everyone with their pants down by doing so as well because everyone assumed Russia wanted a pretense before acting.

It was very 👁 when I read on here that the reason Russian troops were able to get so close to Kiyv in the initial assault was that Ukrainian forces were in an offensive position around the Donbas. Don’t know if that’s true, of course.

I remember when they said Russia might blow up a nuclear plant as a form of terrorism, so nothing is beyond the US really.

Patrick Lancaster’s interview with the advisor to the director of the ZNPP was so wild. The guy had such a lucid and piercing analysis. He’s not even a “political analyst” or commentator and it was such a breath of fresh compared to the garbage media we have in the west.
