"Conspiracy theory" quickly went from "a belief that a group of people is conspiring in secret" to "any belief that runs contrary to the establishment narrative" to "any belief I don't like*. Once a term enters the erstwhile consciousness of the NPCs, it is immediately stripped of all meaning and turned into yet another synonym for "bad".
Often I've noticed that the dumbest of the dumb don't even use the full term any more. They just say "conspiracy", accidentally revealing that they have zero clue as to the meaning of the words they're saying. They're just noises they heard on TV.
Anything said by that clown Seymour Hersh instantly makes it less credible. He claims everything he's saying is from a single anonymous source. Riiiight. Reminds me of the Trump "pee tapes".
He's an atheistic jew anti-American propagandist. The libs loved him when he published propaganda against the US during the Vietnam War, because they were on the same side. Later, when he started attacking Obama, the Left turned against him and he is universally recognized as a conspiratorial crank. In 2018, Hersh told an interviewer, "I don't necessarily buy the story that Bin Laden was responsible for 9/11." Hersh later lied about Syria not using chemical weapons: Bellingcat accused Hersh of sloppy journalism: "Hersh based his case on a tiny number of anonymous sources, presented no other evidence to support his case, and ignored or dismissed evidence that countered the alternative narrative he was trying to build." He's an atheistic jew far left propagandist.
9/11 being an "inside job" is completely retarded and makes no sense on any level. The evidence offered in support - shit like "jet fuel can't melt steel beams" & "omg those are demolition squibs!" - is laughably wrong on its face and would only fool a complete idiot.
By contrast, the idea that Russia blew up its own pipeline is eminently reasonable, which is why I believe it is by far the most likely:
Putin, as a career KGB operative, LOVES doing shady espionage shit like false flag attacks. There is a long history of him doing so, most famously blowing up his own people in the apartment bombings so he could blame it on muslims as a pretext to invade/escalate against Chechnya. His agents famously got caught in Ryazan. He'd done something like this before: Two explosions on a gas pipeline in North Ossetia in January 2006, which were caused by remote-controlled military-grade charges. The explosions halted Russian gas supply to Georgia after the country had started seeking NATO membership.
Putin is obsessed with the manipulation and control of the Russian people. He devotes enormous resources to it. Blowing up the pipeline as a false flag gave Putin a propaganda weapon to cast Russia as being under attack by foreign powers. It is perfectly tailored to shore up domestic war support.
The pipeline was already inoperative. Putin had every reason to believe that sanctions would mean that Germany would not resume purchases indefinitely, rendering the pipeline worthless anyway. Germany and other countries had already stockpiled natural gas in August and September, which was clearly done to enable a total long term withdrawal from Russian supplies. The pipeline was blown up in late September soon after this had become clear. Might as well blow it up and extract what propaganda value out of it he could. Conversely, it would make no sense for the US/UK to blow up a pipeline after Germany and others had already taken steps to eliminate dependency on it and it was worthless.
Putin may have hoped blowing them up would cause a panic/shock in natural gas markets. "On 27 September 2022, European gas prices jumped 12 percent after news spread of the damaged pipelines".
Putin has a long history of being over-promised and under-delivered by his subordinates. To us outsiders it might seem like blowing up the pipeline is not likely to help Russia much, but Putin's perception would be very different as his FSB executives pitched him on it. Putin may have believed that blowing it up would drive a wedge between Germany and the US/UK. This is laughable to Westerners, but Putin living in his bubble believes a lot of stupid shit.
Biden is a coward and consistently refuses to support even trivial escalations, such as by refusing to supply ATACMS HIMARS missiles to Ukraine because they might use those missiles to strike targets in Russia. Biden opposed the Bin Laden raid. Biden cucked out of Afghanistan. Biden is the last guy who would do something bold and risky and escalatory like try to secretly blow up a pipeline.
"European security officials observed Russian Navy support ships nearby where the leaks later occurred on 26 and 27 September. One week prior, Russian submarines were also observed nearby."
He's literally a senile puppet, not in control of anything.
Someone linked the plane analysis down the thread, but I don't think actually reading a thread before shitposting is in your capability if you think Russia would blow up it's own fucking pipeline for no reason.
I'm no "jet fuel can't melt steel beams" type either, but believing one of those bullshit stories is legit and the other isn't is pure fucking stupid.
Equally retarded is believing that Russia loves false flags, but thinking the US wouldn't do them - declassified operation Northwoods. CIA planned a false flag op to start war with Cuba. Kennedy shut it down. The US doing false flags is no less likely than Russia - the US federal government is not some kind of "good guy".
All these giant governments are criminal organizations.
Someone linked the plane analysis down the thread, but I don't think actually reading a thread before shitposting is in your capability if you think Russia would blow up it's own fucking pipeline for no reason.
I disagree with him, but I'm glad he made the argument, which is why I did upvote him. It's boring when everyone agrees on a given subject.
All these giant governments are criminal organizations.
And this is the most important point.
Same for politicians.
A politician isn't 'a good guy' simply because he agrees with you, or says he agrees with you. You need to hold them accountable.
My kind of guy! The current regime deserves criticism. My question is: why do we have to rely on people on the left, like Greenwald, Mate and Tracey, and Hersh, to write good journalism criticizing the regime?
Later, when he started attacking Obama
So he was consistent, like GG, and wasn't a Democratic Party hack. Good to know.
Hersh later lied about Syria not using chemical weapons: Bellingcat accused Hersh of sloppy journalism
Oh wow, BELLINGCAT! I can't think of a better CIA-funded, British government-funded organization whose word I'd rather take for it. And for the record, there are AT BEST major questions about whether Syria used chemical weapons again, and there were whistleblowers at the OPCW saying that the Muricans had put pressure on them to lie.
The USG lying about weapons of mass destruction? Tell me it ain't so!
9/11 being an "inside job" is completely retarded and makes no sense on any level. The evidence offered in support - shit like "jet fuel can't melt steel beams" & "omg those are demolition squibs!" - is laughably wrong on its face and would only fool a complete idiot.
Maybe (I've been downvoted heavily here at time for not being a 9/11 truther) but it's less retarded than "Russia blew up its own pipeline", for which you have zero evidence, and which doesn't even benefit Russia in any way - the way 9/11 benefited the USG.
the idea that Russia blew up its own pipeline is eminently reasonable
You're a good guy and I like you, but you have Russia Derangement Syndrome (evidenced by the fact that you call me an FSB employee).
There is a long history of him doing so, most famously blowing up his own people in the apartment bombings
I've already provided you with definitive evidence disproving this, from a journalist working from Perfidious Albion. But it's interesting that you will believe anything negative about Russia and nothing negative about the precious globalists in the USG.
His agents famously got caught in Ryazan.
Yes, which was a training exercise about how to foil such attacks by Chechen Muslim terrorists, where it wasn't even established that the explosives were explosives.
Blowing up the pipeline as a false flag gave Putin a propaganda weapon to cast Russia as being under attack by foreign powers. It is perfectly tailored to shore up domestic war support.
Come again? This would explain 9/11 better than it does for a country that is actually at war.
Putin had every reason to believe that sanctions would mean that Germany would not resume purchases indefinitely, rendering the pipeline worthless anyway. Germany and other countries had already stockpiled natural gas in August and September, which was clearly done to enable a total long term withdrawal from Russian supplies
What a joke. The only thing that saved Europe was the unusually warm winter. Or people would have frozen and starved, which is just as well according to the despicable ruling class here. As long as they get their bribes.
Biden is a coward and consistently refuses to support even trivial escalations
Biden has never seen a war he doesn't love. He voted for the Iraq War, he supported Libya, and now he is escalating massively in Ukraine.
such as by refusing to supply ATACMS HIMARS missiles to Ukraine because they might use those missiles to strike targets in Russia.
Come now, the Russian roads are so bad that people would not be able to see the difference between a before and after a HIMARS strike picture.
CIA spook: HAHA, RUSSIANS! TAKE THAT! Your roads are now full of potholes. HIMARS O'CLOCK!
Russian: First time, tovarish?
Biden is the last guy who would do something bold and risky and escalatory like try to secretly blow up a pipeline.
In an earlier comment, you called Biden a puppet. Which he is. The military-industrial complex calls the shots. And here, it definitely benefited the gas companies which are now selling their useless, overpriced LNG when we could be getting cheap gas from a real country.
"European security officials observed Russian Navy support ships nearby where the leaks later occurred on 26 and 27 September. One week prior, Russian submarines were also observed nearby."
European security officials? BAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
Yeah, that's the most reliable source on the planet. Funniest thing I've ever heard. You should have asked the clown at the local circus, he would have way more credibility.
Achtung, Mein Fuehrer Joe Biden. We saw ze Russian warships on 26 August *gets a kick*, I mean, 26 September. Yes, it was definitely ze Russians who planted zese CIA explosives. As you can see, our Drang Nach Osten is completely justified and we need to conquer Russia like our glorious forefazers had the foresight to do!
Bruh, Assad was using chemical weapons with regularity throughout the war, literally more than 600 separate attacks. Most didn't achieve significant casualties because Assad's army are incompetent cannon fodder.
Assad was using chemical weapons with regularity throughout the war, literally more than 600 separate attacks.
I don't know about the 600 number, but yeah, I know Assad uses chemical weapons. The discussion was about one specific attack that had Trump retaliate, because it's very much in doubt (at best) that this was a chemical attack by Assad.
Though the spooks at Bellingcat will certainly portray it as such.
Propagandists criticize whether deserved or not, and they use falsehoods to do so. I see no value in listening to them. All credible sources must be capable of saying "even though I don't like Biden, there is no credible evidence he did this in particular".
My question is: why do we have to rely on people on the left, like Greenwald, Mate and Tracey, and Hersh, to write good journalism criticizing the regime?
Greenwald does good journalism. Hersh does not, you just like him because he tells you what you want to hear. I don't even know the other two.
So he was consistent, like GG, and wasn't a Democratic Party hack. Good to know.
He's just one of those commies who is so far left that he sees the Democrats and Republicans as almost the same. He sees America as fundamentally evil. That said, he also knows what will win him awards so he targets the Republicans far more.
Oh wow, BELLINGCAT!
Should have known he'd be on the FSB hate list. They're seen as highly credible in the OSINT community.
"Russia blew up its own pipeline", for which you have zero evidence
I have plenty of circumstantial evidence and logical deduction. You have zero evidence of the US doing it.
you have Russia Derangement Syndrome (evidenced by the fact that you call me an FSB employee).
Not at all. I agreed with Russia/Putin in a lot of areas and defend Russia on a lot of topics, just not things like empire building through wars of aggression.
The only thing that saved Europe was the unusually warm winter. Or people would have frozen and starved
Not true at all. Germany was at 0 risk from the winter even under "worst case" scenarios.
Biden has never seen a war he doesn't love.
You mean like Afghanistan?
now he is escalating massively in Ukraine.
Not at all. Biden just goes along with whatever the euros want to do. Lately, this has meant allowing a small number of tanks to be sent sometime later this year. It's not an escalation.
Russian roads are so bad that people would not be able to see the difference between a before and after a HIMARS strike picture.
Russians slowly adapted to HIMARS by moving their ammo stockpiles outside of HIMARS range and taking pains to disperse them. Sometimes they fuck up and get hit, but its far more rare now.
ATACMS is so important because it would nullify the main Russian adaptive measure of simply moving their ammo stockpiles further back. ATACMS would bring back the days of a big Russian ammo stockpile blowing up almost every night. Moving them further away would be impossible because the ATACMS range is so long at ~300km that it simply wouldn't be possible to keep stockpiles anywhere in theater. This would create a problem the Russians might never solve, and if they did, it would still cause a lot of inefficiency and massively degrade logistics.
CIA spook: HAHA, RUSSIANS! TAKE THAT! Your roads are now full of potholes. HIMARS O'CLOCK!
I don't know why you keep on with the "pothole" meme when there was widely reported incidents where HIMARS kills hundreds of Russian soldiers in a single strike: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makiivka_military_quarters_shelling HIMARS are very inefficient at blowing up a strongly reinforced large bridge, but they still put that bridge out of action anyway.
The military-industrial complex calls the shots.
No, the Democrat donor class elite agents who staff the white house do. There is no such thing as the MI complex and the Democrats hate the military anyway. Biden only gives money to Ukraine as a virtue signal.
Propagandists criticize whether deserved or not, and they use falsehoods to do so. I see no value in listening to them. All credible sources must be capable of saying "even though I don't like Biden, there is no credible evidence he did this in particular".
Yeah sure. But you have no evidence that he is a propagandist.
He's just one of those commies who is so far left that he sees the Democrats and Republicans as almost the same.
So he's getting stuff right?
He sees America as fundamentally evil
As far as I know, Hersh talks mostly about foreign policy. American foreign policy is indisputably fundamentally evil. I could go further and say that American domestic policy is also fundamentally evil. What do you call neutering 13-year-old kids if not that?
You need to be able to distinguish between a country, the people - and the criminals who rule over it.
Should have known he'd be on the FSB hate list. They're seen as highly credible in the OSINT community.
Anything funded by the British and the Americans will be on the hitlist of anyone who cares about the truth. That is not the OSINT "community", who are autistic retards pushing American foreign policy.
I have plenty of circumstantial evidence and logical deduction. You have zero evidence of the US doing it.
No, you have squat. I have Biden's repeated threats to destroy it, the fact that it's in American interests, Victoria Nuland admitting that she is happy that it was blown up, Blinken saying that what Russia supposedly did "is a great opportunity", and Hersh's article.
Not at all. I agreed with Russia/Putin in a lot of areas and defend Russia on a lot of topics, just not things like empire building through wars of aggression.
[American empire looking through the curtans.]
Not true at all. Germany was at 0 risk from the winter even under "worst case" scenarios.
German industry was collapsing even before winter. And I know that you've rationalized all sorts of stuff, and now declare victory because you got extraordinarily, once-in-a-lifetime lucky, but no.
You mean like Afghanistan?
Which he voted for, which he supported. Apparently, Raytheon was not making enough money off of a lightweight US presence, so out they go.
Not at all. Biden just goes along with whatever the euros want to do. Lately, this has meant allowing a small number of tanks to be sent sometime later this year. It's not an escalation.
Bennett admitted that Scholz and Macron wanted peace, and Bozo Johnson didn't. Biden supported the Bozo. Stop blaming us for all this nonsense.
ATACMS is so important because it would nullify the main Russian adaptive measure of simply moving their ammo stockpiles further back. ATACMS would bring back the days of a big Russian ammo stockpile blowing up almost every night
So it's an act of war, like blowing up NS2, and Russia should retaliate, you say?
I don't know why you keep on with the "pothole" meme when there was widely reported incidents where HIMARS kills hundreds of Russian soldiers in a single strike: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makiivka_military_quarters_shelling HIMARS are very inefficient at blowing up a strongly reinforced large bridge, but they still put that bridge out of action anyway.
Is that the incident where Russian command was so retarded that they put everyone together? I wouldn't be bragging about killing hundreds of Rusdsian soldiers btw. I'm sure you were outraged about that whole 'Russian bounties' hoax, given Murica's actions, next time I think it will not be a hoax.
No, the Democrat donor class elite agents who staff the white house do. There is no such thing as the MI complex and the Democrats hate the military anyway. Biden only gives money to Ukraine as a virtue signal.
LOL! Biden and the Dems increaased the military budget to previously unknown heights. And Austin was literally plucked from the board of Raytheon. They love MIC bribes as much as Republicans do.
Hersh is an anti-American and lost most of his credibility by bootlicking for Assad but there's no plausible theory other than the US or an ally doing it. Russia blowing up their own pipeline just so they can try to blame the US for it 6 months later is just not a good reason to blow up a hugely valuable pipeline. Frankly it's exactly the same type of dumb propaganda Russia tends to use ("they did it to themselves!").
Funny how it's always a 'conspiracy theory' when you assign responsibility to the US.
The US blowing up its own towers? CONSPIRACY THEORY.
Russia NOT blowing up its own pipelines? CONSPIRACY THEORY.
"Conspiracy theory" quickly went from "a belief that a group of people is conspiring in secret" to "any belief that runs contrary to the establishment narrative" to "any belief I don't like*. Once a term enters the erstwhile consciousness of the NPCs, it is immediately stripped of all meaning and turned into yet another synonym for "bad".
Often I've noticed that the dumbest of the dumb don't even use the full term any more. They just say "conspiracy", accidentally revealing that they have zero clue as to the meaning of the words they're saying. They're just noises they heard on TV.
"Conspiracy theory"
(n) A claim or statement that, if widely believed, would threaten the power of the Regime.

why is defending the elected leader of a country fighting against a group of global terrorists "bootlicking"?
You're brainwashed scum and deserve to be thrown feet-first into a woodchipper.
