History began in February of 2022, so I don’t see how any of this is relevant.

Undone by implacable liberal logic 😰

I love it when the government gets to decide what I’m allowed to wear outside the house

Settler-colonies recognize each other

I don’t know, I just find it funny that you care so much about this. It’s just lemmy.

What’s the difference between an opinion section and what you deem “speculative conspiracy theories”?

As a matter of fact what’s the difference between their front page news and the NYT directly quoting Bush making the case to go to war with Iraq? Weren’t they also passing off speculative (Saddam was responsible for 9/11) conspiracy theories (Iraq had WMDs) as News?

Or is the problem that they are more famous than me thus their opinion is worth more than mine?

You didn’t answer any of my questions and your hostility is more funny than anything. Do you also get this kneejerk reaction when the NYT or the Guardian publish an opinion piece calling to bomb Iran? Because these count as news, they’re published in real newspapers after all!

Way ahead of you!

Isn’t it world news that “Israel” attacked Lebanon twice with compromised pagers, or do articles have to come from state-approved sources to be considered news?

This is a self-promoting opinion piece boring on conspiracy theory.

What makes you say “conspiracy theory” exactly?

The part about cold fusion was strange and I completely occluded it in my original article (the OP). I think he had to mention it because he had to find a way for these nukes, if there were indeed nukes used on Gaza, to be conspicuous. Cold fusion would allow for payloads that, like he said, would be no bigger than a baseball bat.

But the findings stand on their own. For example I don’t believe Busby is lying when he said he analyzed air vent samples and soil samples and found what he found. They definitely require further investigation and Al Mayadeen was looking for more vehicle air ventilation filters and long hair samples from people and vehicles that have been around “Israeli” bomb craters to analyze through another researcher.

Oh, they believe in very material things. They believe in settling land and using the native population as slave labor, for example. I wrote about this before

It’s linked at the very top of the article but I can also link it here: https://criticalresist.substack.com/p/a-look-at-historically-inaccurate

lmao this is even better

Thanks for reading 😀

Article is coming out this evening 😳

There is also a part I didn’t write into the article about how when he was a teen in the 70s his mom

I only mentioned this part of his life in the comment reply above.

I never made the claim that Assange is a US asset but I did say in the original article, and still say, that nothing happened after the Collateral Murder video, so what is even your argument? Did something happen after Collateral Murder, or not?

In the broader picture that the US military may have leaked Collateral Murder themselves, it would have played right in their hands to release it. That’s the argument.

Please don’t do this. This is a right-wing tactic: “I’m not making any claims, I’m just asking questions.”

It’s literally not. The article makes it clear there are facts many people are not aware of, and they need to know these to then be able to make an informed decision. I have defended Assange and his character at several points in the article. And frankly I don’t really care what tactics the right wing decides to use, it’s not gonna prevent me from living my life.

“Collateral murder” absolutely was damaging to the US government. It showed the callous disregard the US military had for (non-white) human life and it put them under a lot of scrutiny. It also helped a lot of “fence-sitters” take a side opposing the US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

So nothing happened.

Because that’s US policy. Not prosecuting them was also a bad look for US govt.

So nothing happened.

What? This claim needs arguments.

This is proven in the article by Wikileaks’ own webpage from 2006 which is linked earlier in the article… sorry but did you actually read through it?

“A golden prison.” lmao

We agree with each other though?

Yes, and that’s why I didn’t put it in the article?

Wasn’t Panama leaked to someone other than Wikileaks? Also interested in what he said about 9/11 if you have a source for it too, you can MD me if you prefer.

Actually Assange is the one constant face behind Wikileaks; there is an advisory board, but it’s very informal to the point that people on it never did anything, never met the other advisors, and sometimes never even knew they were on it. For all intents and purposes Assange is the only person behind Wikileaks.

If Wikileaks was a federal asset or started as one, then Assange was an asset as well, even if he didn’t know it. That’s my defense behind the title, which does ask if Assange was a federal asset.
