@WashedOutGundamPilot @Coyote@noagendasocial.com @furgar @Coyote@shitposter.club it seems to go something like:

- Ukrainians store/repair weapons in a once civilian location
- Russians strike to reduce Ukrainian military capacity
- Ukrainian psyops make hay

@cjd @grey also a cracking argument for less fun (sic) control

They're throwing a bone to the mugging industry by telling them who is still unarmed.

Sprezzatura is important not for its manipulative effect on other people, but because the performance of it comes to convince the self - but when the self is convinced, it is because it is no longer an act.

Iran wants to join BRICS making it BRIICS. Extra thicc.

@Coyote do you have the sources for these graphs?

@koherecoWatchdog @LibreSolutionsNetwork @cjd @mystik @thatguyoverthere that's not what I'm saying, your argument seems to be that Alex Jones saying something is sufficient to disprove it

if I've misunderstood your argument please correct me

@koherecoWatchdog @thatguyoverthere @mystik @cjd @LibreSolutionsNetwork this is nonsensical, if Alex Jones told you that X is true, does that make it impossible for it to be true?

does Alex Jones have the ability to alter reality by his statements?

I'm sure you've seen the Eisenhower speech regarding the military industrial complex, these are not conspiracy theories, you've just been convinced by the conspirators that everything is fine

it's strange to me that for someone who clearly has strong critical thinking skills has allowed such a strange blind spot to grow in their thinking, I can't see any way in which a deep state would fail to form in a long enough timeline with human nature being what it is
