I've followed this conflict since 2014.

You may have seen your face in the mirror for much longer, but all that time doesn't matter if you still can't tell it from your ass.

Again, it's just an insult. All you do is insult. You never explain. You don't reference, you don't link, you don't show data, even when I directly ask you to do this. It's childish.

What precisely do you think I'm defending that is indefensible? Quote me again.

As I said, there's special place in hell for the likes of you.

All you do is engage in ad-hominem attacks. I imagine you sitting in a chair in your underwear in an apoplectic rage, absolutely furious that anybody would disagree with the government propaganda, I just sat through 4 years of the US of A's bullshit about "Russia hacked our election" for 24 hours a day 7 days a week on every propaganda channel and on the late night tv funny men's shows. If Russia was actually doing some really evil shit and has been doing evil shit, I'd think they could point it out. Russia hasn't done anything the US hasn't done - did they commit war atrocities in Syria but now, suddenly, they are supposedly in Ukraine. I remember when the United States threatened to arrest judges on the ICC for investigating war crimes of the Bush and Obama administration.

Just the fucking hypocrisy of my government, it's hilarious.

Say something of substance. You've never said anything or demonstrated anything to me to make me reconsider my honestly pretty unstable position on this matter. I know Ukraine was overthrown by the United States, you know that. I've given you the recording of Nuland and Pyatt multiple times. You never even address it. Don't you think the US has SOME culpability in this conflict since they fucking overthrew the government there?

Shock of shocks, I do. I'm tired of these motherfuckers in my government getting blood on our hands.

I don't know anything about them other than what my lying fucking government tells me. Why do you fucking trust THEM??

I suspected that the Ghouta chemical attack in Syria was a false flag when it was first reported, because Obozo warned Assad against using such weapons BEFORE the supposed attack. I was expected to believe that Assad is so fucking stupid, and his advisors are so fucking dumb, that they decided to use chemical weapons anyhow, on a city, for no strategic reason that was ever given and invite the United States to bomb their ass as a result. It was senseless. That didn't add up. To this day I don't know if there was a chemical weapons attack in Ghouta or not. If there was, it was probably done by Mi6, CIA, Mossad, maybe the "moderate rebels" - who knows?

But the Douma attack, that I know was fake. I know this because two whistleblowers from the OPCW explained in detail how it was staged and how they came up with nothing for chemical residue.

And my government lied about both of them, they NEVER gave up lying about it. They lie to this day.

Now, what would be the motivation of Russia to murder civilians? How does his work in their favor?

I know why civilians were targeted in Vietnam - it was a guerilla war. The Vietcong would embed themselves in the population and murder soldiers and the civilians collaborated with these people.

I don't put it above my government to lie blatantly. I don't put it past Ukraine's government to do a false flag or to stage an attack. I've seen my government do it, I've seen the "White Helmets" do it - so why are you screaming me to rush to a conclusion? I'll know in a few months, but if you are dumb enough to trust our propaganda, you must be stuck on stupid and gullible at this point. Our government lies constantly - or did we find out how Russia hacked our election yet? They will tell the most RIDICULOUS lies, obvious lies, and you just assume you know the truth and you trust a US installed puppet government in Ukraine to tell you the truth.

You don't have enough information to draw a conclusion, you are making an assessment without having enough data.

richwicks says

Why do you fucking trust THEM??

I said it repeatedly that I don't rely on US government sources of information. It apparently went over you. "mostly writer" at his best.

What those other sources describe is beyond comprehension. Kids killed with their families. Little girls raped. Women gang-raped and then killed, with follow-up incomplete attempts to burn the bodies.

It happened apparently in 3 stages. The 3d, the most devastating one, happened when the Orcs knew they were leaving and felt that they had nothing to lose.

The full scale of what happened there is still unclear because everything is booby-trapped. As in - there's a dead family inside the house, but the house is booby-trapped, so they need to proceed with caution.

I have no sympathy for a cocksucker who pushes this "you can't believe anyone" talking point on a virtual board. Not when it came to this.

@richwicks - I admire your stamina, but at some point, when do you conclude someone's merely a troll?

I guess I understand your motivation if we assume that the counterparty is actually a not a bot(useless to engage) or a shill (who is paid for his efforts), and that you (as you have previously said) are honestly trying to engage them.

Like you, I've tried over many years to expose people to truths beyond the propaganda. Most people who I engaged with looked at me like I was crazy. I mostly focused on medical/health, and now, 30+ years later, the truths I long espoused can't be denied. Given this history, I saw the Coof for what it was. Thankfully, @Rin had the necessary info for effective nutricutical intervention against viral infection.

In the end, I value your responses in that it reveals the true nature of your adversaries. Thanks for that.

Nope, but I can get translations.

Easy to get those today. Might take some time, but I can always do it. So - share your sources.

I'll start with a very well-known one, that will be plenty for you because it's a daily thing.

https://www.youtube.com/c/FeyginLive?source=patrick.net - watch his daily chats with Arestovich (Арестович in Cyrillic)

Arestovich is a Ukrainian intelligence officer with uncanny track record of predictions. "Uncanny track record of predictions" - this is something that your rants SEVERELY lack and which is the ONLY reasonable metric for quality of a source. He predicted bunch of things with uncanny accuracy - Ukraine vs. NATO, Ukraine vs. Russia. He predicted that Russia will invade years ago, and did it with extreme accuracy, time-wise. When he did, his own team labeled him as warmonger. He stayed with his prediction, and it came 100% true.

Furthermore, his info passes my cross-examination from other sources.

That's a start. Once you demonstrate that you actually follow him, I'll share more.

mostly reader says

Arestovich is a Ukrainian intelligence officer

That's a red flag right away, at least when it comes to a US intelligence officer. I can't assess the accuracy of a Ukrainian one yet. I know the CIA and FIB lie constantly. All their public statements are lies.

If you have sources, just blurt them out.

I think you're quite naive to be putting a large amount of faith in somebody that is engaged in espionage. Their main job is to misdirect the enemy, and quite often, that enemy is you.

Clue: if somebody claims to you that they have, in the past, correctly predicted the future of critical or investment events, in order to influence you today, then you can be 95 percent confident you are dealing with a manipulator or a con artist.

They rely on your accepting their fallacy assertion without checking in order to con you into trusting them. Fly, meet Venus Fly Trap.

Oh, I will, if my nation drags us into another fucking war.

I don't know why this is so difficult for people to understand.

The wars the US engages in, hurt the United States. No foreign entanglements.

The United States has bombed:

Libya, Syria, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, and Somalia.

This has cost this country dearly in blood in treasure. Tell me - what were the benefits of any of these wars? Name one thing - just one.

Yet people defend these wars. They hurt this country, the public, the taxpayer, and the people they bomb. NOBODY walks out ahead. I know that part of the reason we're bombing Syria is because Genie Energy has an oil mining operation in the Golan Heights. We're in a fucking war for a company. We're paying for a war so that these assholes can make money:

https://governamerica.com/documents/genie-energy/?source=patrick.net

Oh look, a propagandist, a former CIA head, a trillionaire banker, and an ex Vice President stands to make a fortune on the war and we get to foot the bill, in every conceivable way, and win or lose, it doesn't benefit the United States in any way, whatsoever.

I'm not "anti-war" I'm anti use the United States military as a bunch of goons to steal shit and foot Americans for the bill. If we go to war in Ukraine, it's to protect Biden's business interests. Already suspect that the US has been trashing Russia in part to force Europe to buy American natural gas. This isn't good for Europe. Europe is run by a bunch of traitors to their nations, that are loyal to the same goons that run the United States.

I will get more sources if I'm a good boy and do what I'm told. Apparently, I only get ONE SOURCE now, but later on, I might get another!!

He's on the record. Verifiable record. He gave an interview and explained his reason back in 2019. Then, entire Ukrainian establishment went batshit crazy against him, and another popular media-persona (Gordon) publicly called him a swindler. Needless to say, they all ate a humble pie.

richwicks says

You know who is really good at making predictions of crimes? People who actually are part of committing them.

At the time of making the prediction he was a low ranked officer in the organization. Lieutenant-something I recon. That's when Poroshenko was still in power. You are now saying that he made Putler attack Ukraine. I want to say that you are fucking insane, but I know better (that you are a propaganda troll)

Or did you miss the part in which I explained how he went against the entire political establishment and his own organization in making that prediction?

Now of course he's moving through the ranks like crazy, he's now a colonel I recon. In the course of this war, he was extremely reliable in saying which cities are safe, in which they will counter-attack, and where they'd be having hard time. EXTREMELY RELIABLE. For example, he said upfront that Rashists will not get Kyiv or Kharkiv, but that there may be complications in Mariupol. Will you now say that he single-handedly manipulates the lines of the front?

Or are you trying to justify your own crappy record?

richwicks says

I did exactly what you asked me to do. I gave you a source (in Russian). I forewarned you that it's a handful because it's a daily commitment. I explained my reasons for giving you this one source (based on the track record of the source). I also promised to give more if you can handle this one.

No, I'm not. Don't put words in my mouth.

Let me give you an example of somebody that is POSSIBLY not what you think they are.

Edward Snowden may be a double agent whose job was to attack the NSA. Do you know why this is speculated? He worked for the CIA, and the CIA did the SAME THING the NSA did - that is, record all communications of every American on communication networks. That's what Snowden proved - he exposed the NSA doing this, but he never talks about the CIA doing this, and it's explicitly illegal for the CIA to do this.

I'm pointing out, you don't know who the guy is. Intelligence is very weird, and spies, are pretty shitty human beings. Their job is to infiltrate a group, and betray it. That's one of their MAIN JOBS. You never know who they are infiltrating.

There was a woman in the United States back in the 1970's who married a CIA infiltrator in her anti-war group. She had a child with him. He was under an assumed name, lived with her for several years. When the mission was complete, he disappeared, abandoned his SON that he had with her, and went back to his wife. That's how fucked up intelligence is.

I don't depend on a single source. Maybe you do - perhaps that's why you only gave me one source. I certainly wouldn't depend on somebody in "intelligence" to give accurate, and verifiable information. They are the LAST people I trust. Their job is literally to lie.

What I'm chiefly interested is what happened. You can never know what is going on currently. I gave up on that a LONG time ago. There's too much bullshit and people just don't know what is going on. You can only find out who is full of shit, there's no way to tell who is telling the truth, because the truth comes out months, if not years later. People obsess about what is "currently going on", I don't. I'll listen to a bunch of bullshit and treat it as juggling plates. I've heard a TON of theories on what the pandemic was about, but I don't know what it was about. I've heard it was to tag people, to test people with a new drug, that it's designed to reduce fertility, reduce lifespan, reduce intelligence, just to make money, etc. I hear rumors that the excess death rate has exploded - is that true? I'll find out next year. Probably Onvacation will find out, he likes going through morality rates.

Years later I can look back and say "OH, THAT'S what it was about, I remember X saying it was this.." - I'm leaning toward cover for bailouts but I don't know. If a cup of coffee is $20 next year at Starbucks - yep, maybe.

I'm just mocking you for making conditions on getting more sources. There's no rationale for it. I leads me to believe you just believe this one guy and that's your only real source, and I have a REAL problem listening to people that are connected with intelligence. In the United States, all they do is lie.

I don't even trust Bill Binney. It was intelligence sources that claimed that Russia hacked our election, and there were 50 of them claiming the Hunter Biden laptop was fake, and NOBODY in the intelligence agencies stood up and said "well, this guy is full of shit". I don't even take them with a grain of salt, I take them with a handful of manure.

Here's a challenge. Go through his past predictions and find the ones that didn't come true. I'll go through them and find those that did. Verifiably true or false. We'll ignore the ones that didn't have time to prove one way or the other.

My prediction: you'll yet again run with your tail between your legs, most likely throwing red herring left and right. Such as "but he's a Ukrainian intelligence officer" type of red herring. You can't deal with a single source, yet you bitch about lack of them.

You are now on the record claiming that a lieutenant caused the war. Or that he was a part of the system which did, but he revealed it to the world, and yet for that he was rewarded (rather than executed) when his prediction came try. This is as idiotic as it gets. That's a job hazard of pushing propaganda beyond facts: clown suit becomes business attire.

Propaganda doesn't make a difference in a war except for those directly fighting it. It doesn't matter a BIT what Americans think. The purpose of propaganda for US, is that our MIC wants to restart the Cold War. We are going to go back to that terror, or rather, children will. For the next 20-40 years, children are going to be told that nuclear Armageddon can happen at any moment and the adults are going to pay for a massive, and useless, military build up.

The bullshit "war on terror" is over. That was created because the USSR was gone, we were going to get a peace dividend finally. FINALLY our government was going to concentrate on infrastructure. We had a boomtime in the 1990's but that ended with our little Reichstag fire in NYC and in DC. We then started a "war on terror", and just like the "war on poverty" and "war on drugs", it's just an excuse to consume tax payer money. There's no winning it, there's no attempt to win it.

Nobody in intelligence can be trusted. Period. Doesn't matter what outfit he's in. They are all the same. The purpose of intelligence agencies is NOT to collect intelligence, it's to disseminate propaganda to the public, and misinformation to the enemy. When in the last 30 years have our intelligence agencies been right about anything?

Propaganda doesn't make a difference in a war except for those directly fighting it.

Exposing atrocities and war crimes - is it propaganda?

I'd say no, but according to the US Federal government it is - which is why Julian Assange is certain to die in custody.

The question is - are they real and if they are, who committed them? Governments commonly lie in war. My government is happy to pass along bullshit war atrocities when it favors their propaganda. The did with the "White Helmets". They did it when, supposedly, contractors (mercenaries) were being beheaded in Iraq and Syria.

I'm used to governments feeding me bullshit. I expect it.

What challenge specifically?

Shall we start with the one in which you pressed me to release materials which may have hurt other people, but then ran like a bitch when I suggested that you put some skin in the game?

Sure, why not? Give me a link to my post. Is this the one where you demanded I stay silent if you posted some bullshit?

I see no rationale to only limit it to a single source. Explain.

It's not enough for you to get spanked for not following one source. You really want to get spanked for not following two (because I know you won't be following either). Here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb2oej0JtxlnywlqoSiHHVQ/featured?source=patrick.net

So you reference a whole TWO sources.

Saves a lot of time: you can use him as a digest for public yet little known data.

Steve Pieczenik claims to have little known data. He's a hoot, and a compulsive liar.

mostly reader says

He probably spends more time every day reading and analyzing than you spend posting, and he has much better talent for what he does than you for what you do.

Possibly.

mostly reader says

We both know that you won't be following either of them, and that your interest is less than genuine

Depends on how accurate the youtube translation is.

mostly reader says

For that you will be spanked in due time.

I don't view this as a competition.

I know my government lies. I know my government lies about Russia. I know that my government creates false flags. I know Victoria Nuland chose the first leader of Ukraine after the coup. I know my government would not allow autonomy of Ukraine after that coup. I know what my government has done previously in governments they have overthrown and they don't change policy quickly. When our intelligence agencies overthrew THIS nation to "elect" Biden it was practically the same playbook as Operation Ajax and PBSuccess - those were 50 years ago. When they stumble on something that works, they stick with it forever.

mostly reader says

But it raises a question: why do you ask? Explain.

Why do I ask for several sources?

When people are telling lies, they contradict one another. A story has plot holes, almost without exception. Excellent well done propaganda is well researched and a careful story is produced that doesn't contract the propaganda at any level. This is nearly impossible to do. It requires every propagandist to know a full and complete story of the previous lies.

It's a lot easier for a single person to lie than 50.

Speculation of course can be contradictory, people can make mistakes as well, there are errors in reporting. That happens, in the heat of the moment, but in propaganda, there are no retractions, there aren't people eating crow and admitting error. That's the US "news" networks. When is the last time you saw Rachael Maddow, Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Anderson Cooper, Chris Cuomo, Amy Goodman, etc - make a retraction?

I've seen Joe Rogan do one. I've seen Jimmy Dore make several. I've seen Aaron Mate make mistakes, Jon Pilger, Glenn Greenwald.. Propagandists never do. Propagandists are like the pope - they pretend to be infallible.

richwicks says

I'd say no, but according to the US Federal government it is - which is why Julian Assange is certain to die in custody.

I'm reacting to YOUR statement, not to that of US Federal Government. I'm asking YOU, not US Federal Government.

richwicks says

Sure, why not? Give me a link to my post.

Are you saying that you don't remember that discussion which lapsed over multiple posts, in which you tried to wiggle your way out of the challenge? Is it really a single person posting under the "richwicks" handle, or multiple agents with a broken communication link??

richwicks says

So you reference a whole TWO sources.

That's two more than I should've given to a cocksucker who pressures for answers but then ignores them when it gets inconvenient. Are you going to follow those two that I gave you? It's a Yes or No question. I know the answer, I just want to make it obvious that you are a dishonest agent.

richwicks says

Another intelligence asshole. great.

Here's a bit of news for you, Einstein. Most people whose opinions matter are a product of some specialized training. Because - guess what? - THEY HAD THE TRAINING. This specific guy is what, 75 years old, inactive and lives in US? He is almost a definition of someone who has the skill but no obvious agenda. And you are now trying to character-assassinate him because - why? - because he's one of the most qualified people, due to the training that he received! You literally can't make this up!

richwicks says

Depends on how accurate the youtube translation is.

YOU posted that you were ok with Russian source. Don't YOU go bitching now about youtube translations after YOU stated that translation is not a problem.

richwicks says

Why do I ask for several sources?

When people are telling lies, they contradict one another...

Why does it matter if you won't be following them and won't be knowing if they contradict one another? It doesn't. With that in mind, your explanation makes no sense. I have to repeat the question: with full understanding that you won't be following my sources, why did you keep pressing about them?
My theory is - because you are a propaganda troll. Feel free to offer yours.

Another weekend, another false flag massacre by the Ukrainians, repeated by western corporate media propagandists to manufacture outrage for more weapons, more war, more dead Ukrainian civilians until Russia is bogged down in Ukraine forever and there are no Ukrainians even left to die for the western bloodthirsty empire.

This might be the last one of these posts. It’s just so lazy, obvious, and pathetic now. They want us to believe that Russia wrote “for the children” on the side of a missile and intentionally launched it into a train station packed with women and children fleeing the city of Kramatorsk, in Eastern Ukraine near Donetsk?

That fits the exact M.O. of Russia since the start of the war. Move fast, carelessly, slaughter women and children in the east where ethnic Russians are, write slogans on missiles to make the bereaved angry, and hope they’ll one day forgive the Russian government when a referendum is held there to join Russia. Completely makes logical sense.

There’s only one major problem with this story other than the laziness of the narrative, the writing on the side of the missile, and the entire western media propaganda complex screaming about how evil Russia and Putin are, and that is...drumroll please…the serial number on the missile that shows it’s probably Ukrainian and the fact that it was fired from territory still controlled by Ukrainian forces.

PS: Behind close doors EU still deals with Russian defence businesses !

Check out these tactical washing machines in the bed of a liberator's military truck:




Or were they liberated from Nazis?

In Iraq, 10,000 kilometers away from the US, they imagined some threat to their national security. They bombed it, found no threat. And didn’t even say they were sorry. But when right at our border they grow neo-Nazi ultra-radicals, create dozens of biolabs … working on bioweapons, as documents prove, we are told we are not allowed to react to those threats

I've heard (take with a grain of salt) that Ukrainians are being "encouraged" to wear armbands. White to indicate support for Russia, Blue to indicate support for the Ukrainian government and none at all for neutral.

Again, I've heard that in Bucha the bodies had white arm bands or none at all. Apparently the mayor announced the parting of the Russian troops and made no mention of the supposed massacre that happened.

I think probably the US is on the wrong side of this war, they always seem to be but time will tell.

Something additionally notable, although not too important, remember when the US claimed Russia had mobile crematoriums? Isn't it odd that they aren't using them now.. Just the level of BS of our government. It's remarkable. They don't even care a little about being internally consistent.

So the Hunter Biden Laptop was a creation of Russian Intelligence like "50 experts" said was a possibility? Iraq had WMDs and the NLF were almost obliterated in 1968?

If you posted info about Hunter's Laptop in 2020 or 2021, you would be censored by all Social Media as spreading "Misinformation/Russian Disinformation". Miranda Devine and the NY Post

Including BOTH former DIRECTORS of the CIA and NSA, as well as former National Security Advisors.

Former CIA chief of staff-turned MSNBC pundit Jeremy Bash, CIA director-turned MSNBC pundit John Brennan and ex-director of national intelligence-turned-CNN pundit James Clapper are among the retired intelligence operatives who insisted the laptop revealing Hunter Biden’s shady overseas business dealings, along with a cache of damning emails and photos, was the result of a "Russian disinformation" campaign designed to help keep then-President Trump in office.

Not in English. I checked both the CC and to see if he had videos in English. Nope. All the videos are in Cyrillic, so I can't even suss out the topic.

He also came on Youtube in 2021. Never heard of him, can't understand him, why should I take him seriously?

Are you that hard up for English language, the language of world commerce and academia and media, sources?

How can we comprehend, much less verify, a source in a non-English language on the obviously English language board where 99.9999% of the content is in English other than the occasional Spanish Slang or Latin Phrase?
