Leaked docs expose massive #Syria propaganda operation waged by Western govt contractors and media - The Grayzone https://thegrayzone.com/2020/09/23/syria-leaks-uk-contractors-opposition-media/

There is nothing like an old fool who won't admit he's wrong

https://thegrayzone.com/2020/09/23/syria-leaks-uk-contractors-opposition-media/ A fellow Jew writes that blog, and it's outstanding. They do old school investigative journalism.

For what it's worth, I'm a socialist. But as a retired intelligence professional, I follow the truth and where it leads. Dogma or political leanings shouldn't interfere with that, because well, the truth is the truth. And where there is grey, then some digging needs to be done. It's obvious to me, that you don't follow that creed, if you ever did.

@billweinberg

So, you're denying that a massive NATO troll army was used to B$ American's and the world as to what was happening in Ukraine? You're doubting the research too? You call that ugly too?

You're a piece of work and an intellectual coward. I'll be here if you wish to debate facts Mr. Weinberg, not on your website.

> "They were false flag attacks!" Wow, it took less than 24 hours to see #PostTruth BS on Mastodon! We're off to a great start! @marathon0 @dangerousbard @tayledras @derek

Can't debate facts eh?! Figures. That's the problem with the USA, an entire nation of illerates that don't know the lies their own government is telling them. And "journalists" like you are contributing to this propaganda!

@Vollans

> One big difference I'm seeing between here and aus.social, is the latter has an "explore" where you can see interesting posts, a biggish list of trending topics, popularly posted news articles, and based on your something or other I don't know some suggested people to follow. Is there anything like that here?

That screengrab doesn't look like Mastodon. Qoto has trending hash tags, which shows on the web interface but doesn't show in my web app or in this app I'm using to write this post. So YMMV.

> I did some writing for Consortium News in the '90s, but I would not do so today. They have repeatedly echoed sinister state propaganda, e.g. engaging in "false flag" theorizing about Assad's chemical attacks. Sorry. @marathon0 @dangerousbard @tayledras @derek

They were false flag attacks! Just because one doesn't agree with the message or it doesn't fit one's world view, doesn't make the story untrue! BTW Have you ever read the NYT? It publishes false government propaganda too or have you forgot about that? They regurgitate whatever the Nations Security State tell em to publish FFS!

BTW Assad couldn't do any bio/chem attacks. You must have forgot that at the beginning of the war, the USA destroyed all of Syria's chemicial weapons! This was documented everywhere, even by the yankee press.

@dangerousbard@newsie.social

Complete B$, please stop YOUR disinformation. It was founded by a Pultizer winning journalist and has many other fine journalists contributing. They always research their content. The NYT publishes far more false information than they do, you silly little person. Maybe if you want some truth, look into the founding of Consortium! Can't stand stupid people!

Now about the article, do you have any rebuttal containing facts?! I thought not.

@tayledras@mastodon.online @derek @billweinberg

To the newcomers to Mastodon and the Fediverse:

When you ask to follow someone that doesn't accept followers automatically, please have your profile filled out and some posts in your feed by you. I'm not going to follow anyone that hasn't taken the time to get their feet wet and write some posts, so I can know what you're about.

@Clementulus

What made you think that ANY social media is different? The only difference here is that there aren't any algorythims here to shove controversial posts in your face, but otherwise humans are the same.
