      I see on that thread they are trying to kidnap kids as well.

      No surprises there, they need their sick indoctrination into their bdsm guilt cult to start as young as possible.

    2. Micko

      While I’ve no love for evangelicals, is there a video?

      Not getting much info from a tweet and a picture.

      They could be saying anything. Plus they look like kids themselves.

      More to be pitied then ridiculed.

      1. K.Cavan

        Ah Micko, Wokasaurus Wrecks loves bellowing & posturing about how oppressive religion is, regurgitating the approved cliches of the New State Religion, The Church of Hysterical Screeching Wokery, virtue signalling the rest of us into catatonia, lest they’ll get banned from social media, which in fairness, is fascist stuff even the old church never bothered with, seeing as the word Catholic means inclusive & these poor things have no social life beyond the virtual. Moronic Martyrs, low-testosterone soyboy bugmen & their repulsively obese feminist-activist harpy equivalents, most remain virgins well into their 30s & beyond, accounting for the hysteria, their extinction by natural selection a gift to the future.
        I like them. I like them a lot.

    “One of Italy’s largest trade unions has called for a protest outside the Pisa airport on Saturday..

    Several workers at the Galileo Galilei airport refused to load one of the cargo flights advertised as carrying humanitarian aid to Ukraine. The crates did not contain food and medication but weapons, ammunition and explosives instead, the Unione Sindacale di Base (USB) said in a statement on Monday evening.

    “We strongly denounce this outright falsification, which cynically uses ‘humanitarian’ aid as cover to fuel the war in Ukraine,” the USB said.

    ..“We stand alongside the Ukrainian peoples, the Donbass and Russia and we do not want to be complicit in this conflict,” the Porto Livorno chapter of USB said in a statement”

        Fantastic subtitles, from an account that only posts pro-Russian videos, lap up your propaganda like a good little boy SOQ and spread it far and wide for the other useful idiots to gobble up.

        1. K.Cavan

          Broadbag’s regurgitation of the approved narrative comes with so much irony it rusts in the damp Irish weather.

          1. Broadbag

            Right on cue, a useful idiot arrives to lap it up, nom, nom, nom! Good little Putin-bot, delicious propaganda, so tasty!

          2. Vlad X. Novichok

            All that Putin boner snot those Toady Choads are so fond of. Nom nom nom indeed.

          3. anti bot

            so no invasion of a democracy, no killing of civilians. Putin is totally justified in killing lots of people in a different country….? what the eff is wrong with you people? did you also support the Nazis v Jews?

          4. Daisy Chainsaw

            Like Ukraine, the Jews brought it on themselves. If they hadn’t been so (__insert bigoted trope here__) the Holocaust wouldn’t have happened… Which it didn’t anyway, according to good folks, who you should show some respect to on tikkktokkk and YouTube.

          5. anti bot

            you really are a duck. Why can’t you answer any challenge to you, other than a lack of intelligent capacity? why can you only believe q bs without offering a creditable reply. My theory : low IQ and the lack of mental capacity to see the facts

      2. Broadbag

        This footage was broadcast by ANNA News, the pro-Kremlin folks, amongst many dodgy reports they have form in Ukraine according to Wikipedia:

        ”In the fall of 2014, the agency published a fake photo of several dead people who were allegedly killed by the Ukrainian authorities.”

        “It was revealed that employees of ANNA also worked for Russian propaganda websites NewsFront and SouthFront and that NewsFront had raised money for ANNA in 2014. Both ANNA News and SouthFront support separatist forces in Ukraine. In August 2021, president of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, based on the decision of the National Security and Defenсe Council, signed a decree “on the application of personal special economic and other restrictive measures” against ANNA News. The decision ordered the web resources of the news agency to be blocked.”

        So clearly they’re totally impartial and to be trusted…by ‘critical thinkers’ like SOQ.

        1. SOQ

          Ok so attack the source rather validate if it is true then is it? But only is the source is one side of course. Neo Nazis are now the good guys it appears- yeah right.

          1. Broadbag

            I can’t validate it any more than you can, but your sources stink to high heaven and you’re presenting them as factual.

            Nazis are bad, we can all agree on that hopefully, killing innocent civilians is beyond the pale…unless it’s Russia doing the killing, right? Then you’ll spin until the cows come home, you are beyond shameful, full on Comical Ali stuff.

          2. Broadbag

            @Harney – where did anyone mention the US or Ukraine’s views on Nazis? Another pro-Putin troll clogging the site up with nonsense and deflection.

            lololol indeed.

            edit: I’ve literally just said nazis are bad and you try to connect me with this guff, lolololololololol, right?

          3. Me So Harney

            You claim the nazi angle as a pretext for invasion is just propoganda, its not, those nazis in the east of Ukraine were murdering ethnic Russians, this has been happening for 8 years, that link shows Russia trying to get an independent body to assess and ban these nazi groups, all armed by the US. If all diplomacy is thrown back in his face what’s he going to do?

          4. Nigel

            ‘Ok so attack the source ‘

            You’re constantly equivocating about ‘both sides using propaganda,’ for feck’s sake.

            ‘ Neo Nazis are now the good guys it appear’

            That’s the entirely false dichotomy you’re trying to generate, anyway. Putin versus Nazis, it’d be awesome if they weren’t slaughtering and displacing so many civilians and doin so under the protection of a nuclear arsenal.

          5. SOQ

            @Broadbag

            What I posted is verified by people like Col. Doug Macgregor who was a top advisor to the US pentagon- so hardly someone who is biased towards the Russians.

            In his opinion, 3000 of Azuv Nazis in Mariupol are refusing to allow any of the civilians leave the city.

            About ten minutes into this Grayzone livestream, although I strongly suggest everyone listen from the start because people like Doug Macgregor are the experts, not the media mouthpieces.

            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFngc_8RiVc

            Do you bloody research before you start insulting others- this IS happening. What is it with rude people on this website? By all means debate but have some friggin manners.

          6. Broadbag

            SOQ: have some manners!
            also SOQ on the very same thread calling people clowns…Comical Ali strikes again!

            Anyway…I’m not clicking any more of your links as I still feel dirty from the last one I clicked. Either way I highly doubt your Col. is verifying the exact video you posted earlier and deciphering the subtitles, so it’s irrelevant.

            But let’s give him a Google though seeing as you’re bigging him up as not biased towards Russia:

            ”He argued that the United States should “absolutely” just let Putin take what he wants in Ukraine — even calling for lifting sanctions. Macgregor said he was sure that Putin had “no interest in crossing the west” of Ukraine and would settle for the east. He cited Ukraine’s history of corruption and said that “more important, the population there is indistinguishable from [Russia’s] own.”

            – Seems a bit like he doesn’t care 2 hoots about Ukraine, also a bit racist? What else can we learn about the distinguished Col. so barmy that Trump couldn’t even find a seat at the table for him:

            ”Trump’s original plan was to make Macgregor the U.S. ambassador to Germany.
            That plan collapsed when Macgregor’s record of offensive rhetoric came to light: During Fox News appearances, the retired colonel peddled strange conspiracy theories about George Soros, criticized Europe for being welcoming toward “Muslim invaders,” and spoke in support of using deadly force against those who try to immigrate to the United States illegally.”

            – Ah. Right. Another SOQ classic, presenting a racist, xenophobic, conspiraloon as a solid source, keep it up SOQ, it’s hilarious.

            ”Do your bloody research” indeed!

          7. SOQ

            So you are not going to watch an interview by a military expert yet type out a half page on what YOU think? You didn’t have a problem clicking on a link earlier I notice.

            I’d get a more mature response from a class of junior cert students. And they’d probably have more manners too.

        2. K.Cavan

          Broadbag, you read a single piece, take it as gospel, transcibe it here & expect people to take this third-hand gibberish as meaningful? It doesn’t even qualify as research. Pathetic.

          1. Broadbag

            Unlike a ropey YouTube video with garbled subtitles? You’re all to happy to gobble that up, such high standards you have!

      3. anti bot

        you claimed there was no covid, don’t wear masks, don’t get vax. eff off back to backwards Belfast.

        1. E'Matty

          Covid is mild, masks are useless virtue signalling, vaccines do sweet FA, and no healthy person under 65 need take one even if the bogus claims of their effectiveness were real. Covid mutated from a 99.7% survival rate for its worst variant to a mild cold for most today. It’s only the triple vaccinated getting sick these days. Get your booster into ya anyway. You know you want to. You were played for fools and still cannot see it.

          1. anti bot

            bs soq. covid is real. it is killing people. Go to a hospital and see the results, see how vax helps. you’re probably too infantile to do so.

        You’re a socially isolated misfit whose mental condition is deteriorating daily, as you insist on demonstrating to anyone reading here who isn’t in the throes of mental collapse.

    …had to check the date there…is that really sleepy Joe Biden lecturing the world on war crimes?

    1. E'Matty

      I know. Biden the arch warmonger who voted in support of the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria, and indeed was VP for the destruction of both Libya and Syria, calls Putin a warmonger and thug. It’s dark comedy.

      1. Ronan

        No no no.

        You see it’s only a war crime if the victims are white and/or Christian. If you’re a person of colour then you’re a victim of the turrists using you as a human shield, and THEY’RE the war criminals.

        Hope that clears things up.

        1. Nigel

          No, they only become war crimes when Putin invades a country and commits war crimes and then Putin supporters suddenly get mad about those other war crimes.

          1. K.Cavan

            That’s right, Nigel, if it wasn’t for our “support for Putin” we would never complain about Americas thirty year reign of terror.
            Do you ever think anything through before writing it? That doesn’t even make sense, man. Snap out of it.

          2. Nigel

            Supporting Putin while ranting about the evils of every other war that isn’t Putin’s doesn’t make sense, that’s right.

            Oh, unless you’re some sort of aggressive opportunistic hypocrite trying to cover the obvious cracks with bluster and verbiage. Then it makes sense.

      1. K.Cavan

        Nigel, you’re just tying yourself up in knots of illogical ranting, now. Just stop typing til you’ve something sensible to say.

        1. Nigel

          And here’s the one who thinks opposing Putin’s war means supporting every other war ever fought, speaking of illogic.

    2. K.Cavan

      It would be hypocritical if it wasn’t for the fact that he can’t remember all those drone attacks & if you walked up to him & said “Obama” he’d probably reply “nice to meet you son, is that an Irish name?”

  5. E'Matty

    The MI6 propaganda rag the Irish Times now trying to convince everyone that the Ukrainians are winning and will achieve a peace deal “on their terms”. Eh, neutrality and no NATO membership? I do believe they were Putin’s terms from day one. Prepare to have a Ukrainian climb down sold as victory for Zelenskiy and defeat for Putin.

    1. Gerry

      It stands to reason that Ukraine will get a better deal after fighting Russia to a standstill than they would have before, when it was assumed that the Russian army could be in Kyiv in 10 days.

      Remember a deal is only as valuable as the signatories think it. Imagine a counterfactual, where Ukraine did a deal making concessions to Russia 1 month ago, Russia would just keep coming back asking for more.

      Donbas, Luhansk, Crimea, Russia will keep those ill-gotten gains, that sticks in the craw; neutral but armed, along similar lines to Sweden or Austria looks like the deal that is possible.

      I reckon we don’t need to predict which side climbs down or ‘wins’, the situation on the battlefield will determine who gets more than they expected in any negotiations and who doesn’t.

      1. jonjoker

        “Donbas, Luhansk, Crimea, Russia will keep those ill-gotten gains, that sticks in the craw; neutral but armed, along similar lines to Sweden or Austria looks like the deal that is possible.”

        I’m not taking sides here because despite the months of propaganda, I still doubt that I know what’s actually going on; but if the outcome is as you say above – well am I wrong in thinking that that is precisely what Russia was asking for before the war started?

      2. K.Cavan

        Gerry, that is the single most pathetic, unhinged cope I’ve seen so far, well done. Are you even aware that Crimea voted over 90% to rejoin Russia, in a referendum with a turnout of over 90%?
        You’re a spectacularly ill-informed individual.

    2. Nigel

      What a balanced appraisal of the situation. Isn’t it awesome that an authoritarian nuclear power invaded a neighbouring state to get what it wanted? That’s the way to do it.

      1. Gerry

        I think it’s the appalling, unnecessary, and criminal behaviour of a despot.

        Why are you trolling me suggesting that I “think it’s awesome… etc.?

      2. K.Cavan

        Don’t worry, Nigel, this is Russia, not the US, they won’t be traveling around the globe reducing countries to rubble & after this, I do believe the US won’t be, either.
        So, a loss for Uncle Sam but a big, big win for humanity, the Big Mac War Machine will be parked up, for the foreseeable future.

        1. Nigel

          Russia likes reducing countries to rubble that are close by, that’s much better. All those civilians slaughtered for the goid 9f humanity! Thanks Putin!

    1. jonjoker

      From your linked article:
      ” the Ukraine cabinet announced a ‘War-Time Economy’”

      Did I not see a headline there recently quoting Mícheál Martin as saying that we are on a war footing or similar?

      How curious. As though there was a hymnsheet out there somewhere shared by people as diverse as Zelenski and Martin.

    2. jonjoker

      I saw that headline, and what struck me most is the absence of the word “United” at the beginning.
      That word was hardly left out by chance was it?

    3. K.Cavan

      The West’s bubble is shrinking, SOQ, the Rest have had enough of America’s decades of bully-boy tactics. We’re on our own, most of the planet has turned their backs on us & who can blame them. Europe may be a weak military power, unable to provide protection for its citizens but we’ve hidden under America’s skirts & got splattered with the blood of the millions of innocents butchered in its murderous rampage.

      1. SOQ

        That is exactly what Douglas Macgregor is saying in the interview above. He states that the US position has been to bully other countries but that Russia is not Iraq, and the US are no longer able for it- which given his previous position, is I think a very honest appraisal.

        Good advisors don’t tell you what you want to hear- they tell it as it is- that interview really is worth a watch.

        1. Too Miuch Too Long

          LOLS at the disdain the Cavan man has for those who claim to know what he knows. You wouldn’t let them sit in the boot if it meant you could drive in the car pool lane. Operation warped speed.

    Latest MOD Intelligence update.
    Russian forces have made minimal progress this week.
    Logistical problems continue to beset Russia’s faltering invasion of Ukraine.
    Ukrainian forces around Kyiv and Mykolaiv continue to frustrate Russian attempts to encircle the cities. The cities of Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Sumy and Mariupol remain encircled and subject to heavy Russian shelling.

    Meanwhile Mad Vlad turns on his own – conducting purges of military generals and intelligence personnel, including arrests of FSB (Federal Security Service) officers.
    He’s getting desperate now.

        I’m a sceptic too, but you’re a bad actor here IMO.

        Tell us what your understanding of the situation is, or are you just a Putin brown noser dismissing info you don’t like?

        I’m inclined to believe the report about the battlefield situation at least, what are your sources telling you? Russian columns sweeping through Kyiv, smashing Ukrainian battalions aside as they approach the Dniester? Comical Harni

        1. The Millie Obnoxious™

          Harney’s only response will be a cuttingly ineffective lololololol or to ignore you because he hasn’t the stones or the intelligence to cobble together a reply he hasn’t copy pasted from some hack source.

          Anyone who lives in the Real World, Gerry, knows there is only one outcome possible, all the copes, all the staw-clutching in the world won’t make your childish fantasies come true.
          Obviously, you’ve only ever seen one country’s military in action & Russia is de-militarizing Ukraine, not bombing it into the Stone Age, as the US does to the Third World countries it brutalises. If you can’t get your head around that, it just means you’re a thicko, which is your problem.

    I have mentioned the documentary ‘Ukraine on Fire’ a number of times before. It is cited as one of the best documentaries on the subject- produced by Oliver Stone but made by Igor Lopatonok. In this interview from last Monday with Richard Medhurst of The Communiqué, Igor talks about the propaganda units in Ukraine and how they were trained by US DOD.

    ‘If there is nothing to hide in these US funded BioLabs, then why are American officials so worried about them falling into Russian hands?” Also according to Richard Medhurst, It appears that Al-Qaeda are arriving to fight against the Russians- I wonder what Azov will think about that.

    Just a point on the refuge images here- were all men of fighting age not supposed to be banned from leaving?

    Ukraine conflict rages On

    1. Nigel

      ‘‘If there is nothing to hide in these US funded BioLabs, then why are American officials so worried about them falling into Russian hands?’

      Yeah, why aren’t they happy an invading Russia army has shelled and taken their biolabs? If the Ukrainians don’t have anything to hide why don’t they just let the tanks roll into their cities and towns?

      1. K.Cavan

        For God’s sake, Nigel, you’re just spewing out your internal monologue into your posts, nothing in that even makes any sense, just Strawman arguments that a 15-year-old would find childish.
        Calm down & gather your thoughts before you stink the place up with any more of your rancid brain-farts.

          Well that’s just raging invective, which means it’s more substantive than your other comments.

        Seems to be a few documents linked on the site below, that show a global bioweapons program by the US Dod and the agencies that work for it. Tens of millions of USD each and every year.

        As if there is not enough illness in the world without try to make diseases more dangerous. It really is evil work and no fig leaf exists that this is to make the world a better place, it is a weapons program.

    I see that even the New York Times has recently admitted that the Hunter Biden laptop story, which was once branded as “Russian disinfo”, is authentic after all.

    “One of the most successful disinformation campaigns in modern American electoral history occurred in the weeks prior to the 2020 presidential election. On October 14, 2020 — less than three weeks before Americans were set to vote — the nation’s oldest newspaper, The New York Post, began publishing a series of reports about the business dealings of the Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, in countries in which Biden, as Vice President, wielded considerable influence (including Ukraine and China) and would again if elected president.

    The backlash against this reporting was immediate and intense, leading to suppression of the story by U.S. corporate media outlets and censorship of the story by leading Silicon Valley monopolies.”

    1. f_lawless

      Interesting to look back at when Broadsheet covered the story. The usual suspects in the comment section showing a lack of judgement:

      https://www.broadsheet.ie/2020/10/15/saving-joe/

      “Facebook and Twitter are awash with misinformation. This is one high-profile incidence of a piece of disinformation being removed from a platform. In other words it was so ridiculous and so high-profile even twitter decided to back off – which of course, gave the right a ‘we’re being silenced!’ hook..Personally I’d love to see those responsible face some sort of consequences for concocting such a fraud”

      “Trump’s people have put out this story weeks before the election to seed doubt by the time it has been thoroughly debunked it will likely be after the election.”

      “Yawn – someone is cracking a whip at the Russian troll farm. Pravda news?”

      “But this particular story has links to Russian interference , has already been disproven and yet people in trumps administration are still spreading it. So it’s a very good thing to block it.”

        Laptop,haha your like dipso Rudy’s lapdog,is chronic late stage alcoholism a requirement to buy into this drunken nonsense,who cares what a bunch abusive boring drunks have say,one key component like all drunks,is endlessly repeating the same old,old tiresome stories ad nausea,see above.

        1. Me So Harney

          Seems its a problem for chronics like yourself too Johnny.. Is your lame weed junket in the gutter for good yet?

            He’s been smoking all his stock & giving it away to women so they’ll hang around with him.

      2. SOQ

        Oh yes- ALWAYS the same characters. You are not allowed to question the official narrative- that would make you a far right Nazi rat licking communist you see- or whatever current labels the lazy and docile are being fed.

        It will be interesting to see how long the ‘anti vax’ one lasts now given what is emerging about the fatalities and injuries of course.

          Nah just a run the mill boring old drunk,best ignored.

          “Awaiting the result, the Taoiseach and his staff, as well as his wife Mary and son Micheál Aodh, were brought to the The National Building Museum in Washington, where the prestigious $1,000 per-plate Ireland Funds gala was to take place.“

            fixed it.

            Nah just a run the mill boring old abusive drunk…

            oh hon, don’t buy all that war on drugs nonsense,its just so,so passe,ages you.

        2. Nigel

          ‘You are not allowed to question the official narrative’

          You are such a whiner. Question away, but we’re allowed to question your questions.

          1. GiggidyGoo

            No – I get that you accuse me of picking quotes, while you are the master at it, and always at it. That’s why I included the link. You’re Crashing and burning early today Nigel.

          2. Nigel

            Yes, I am better at picking out quotes and commenting on them than you are. You’re rubbish at it, quite frankly. You’re just looing for gotchas. I make relevant comments.

          3. GiggidyGoo

            Yeah sure. Ha haaaa.
            Your comments descend to idiocy towards the end of each thread.
            The reason you quote lines from other peoples posts is to try make out they’re stupid, or that they have some ulterior motive. You have nothing to add to any debate. The reason for that is clear. Lack of research. So much for your comments being relevant.

          4. Nigel

            The reason I pick out quotes is to be specific in my response. The day you start one of these exchanges based around the actual subject being discussed will be the first time. Even if that subject was SOQ’s whining.

          5. K.Cavan

            Was that the royal we, Nigel or have you just officially declared yourself part of the Official Narrative? No wonder people with a brain find it so hard not to guffaw at it.

          6. GiggidyGoo

            Yeah – right.
            You pick one quote from posts containing many paragraphs. Yesterday a prime example.

            And, as I pointed out above, the purpose of your picking out quotes is to try make out they’re stupid, or have an ulterior motive. Your last line just now proves that. “Even if that subject was SOQ’s whining”
            Your last line also proves the point that you’ve nothing to add to the debate, no matter how you try to dress it up, and you end up displaying your modus operandi for anyone to see.
            Now, like a good little fellow – toddle along.

          7. Annie 14 Tennis

            For flips sake Nigel, will you ever give up? It’s really a pain to try follow your thinking because it’s all over the place, and it’s gotten very annoying now. The past few days have been taken up with probably 20% of your posts, most of them not making much sense. It’s very kindergarten stuff. Take a hint for flip sake.

      3. Nigel

        That thread is full of usual suspect demanding that bad faith actors be treated in good faith, and now you’re pretending they’ve been proven right, when when all you’ve done is shown they stole some of Hunter Biden’s emails. I can’t get over how often you proclaim youself some sort of masterful reader of narratives and skeptic of the doings of people in power when you’re fawning over a Giuliani ploy so obvious even the scandal-hungry US media didn’t bother with it.

        1. K.Cavan

          Yes, Nigel, a bloke down the pub told you that email theft is a growing problem, I suppose? There’s not a biscuit left in the house, you’ve taken them all.

          1. Annie 14 Tennis

            For flip sake Nigel, go and get some fresh air. https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/why-did-the-media-cover-up-the-hunter-biden-laptop-story-
            The question is not about hacking or data theft. It’s about truth. Truth looks like something you have a big problem with when it doesn’t suit whatever agenda you have.
            From your postings, it looks like you’d also like to see the likes of Graham Dwyer acquitted because his phone data was used to trap him.
            Give it up Nigel.

          2. Nigel

            I like how he invokes the Wuhan lab and Jeffrey Esptein as supposed conspiracy theories that were supposedly proven to be true, when ‘Wuhan lab conspiracy theory’ encompasses a spectrum of claims and theories ranging from the obvious to the wildly apocalyptic, and I don’t know what conspiracy theory he’s talking about with Epstein, unless it’s his death, and nobody claims there wasn’t something dodgy about that, then sleight of hand to suggest the Biden laptop has also been proved true, even though, er, it hasn’t. Every bit as dishonest as F_lawless and Greenwald. What marvelous journalism these people produce, but, sure, the mainstream ‘liberal’ media is bad.

            You are NOT interested in truth.

      4. K.Cavan

        Oh look, flawless, here comes Johnny, he hasn’t even got the sense to leave it alone, when he’s trussed up like a turkey. More to be pitied, truth be told.
        He’s like the Black Knight in Python’s Holy Grail, “it’s just a flesh-wound”.

    2. Nigel

      Wow. This is spectacularly dishonest about what was actually reported. They do not admit the Biden laptop was authentic, they report that some of the emails on the laptop were Hunter Biden’s. Hacked emails can be put on a laptop. The laptop itself, and the story f its discovery, has in no way been confirmed as authentic. Using authentic info as part of a disinformation campaign is hardly innovative, but apparently we’re expected to fall for it every time just because Glenn Greenwald hates liberals.

      Also it leans so heavily on people claiming it must be Russian disinformation that it ignores how blatantly obvious it was just plain disinformation, from whatever source, while he himself attributes the skepticism to the friggin’ CIA, as if anyone needed the CIA to draw a line between dodgy Giuliani and his dodgy Russian contacts, or needed the CIA to tell them that Giuliani by then didn’t even have the tiny shred of credibility that’s normally enough for them to go all out on Republican smears.

      He’s just mad that people are pointing out that Trump got impeached for trying to extort Ukraine over weapons they are now using to defend themselves against Putin’s aggression.

      1. f_lawless

        It’s ironic that someone fond of brandishing the term “conspiracy theorist” invents his own evidence-free conspiracy theory about hacked emails being put on a laptop. Of course, focussing on the laptop itself is just a distraction from the content of those emails. It was the same story with the Hilary Clinton emails published by Wikileaks. A load of evidence-free noise about it being as a result of a Russian hack was created to distract from the content of the emails and what their implications were.

        “Also it leans so heavily on people claiming it must be Russian disinformation that it ignores how blatantly obvious it was just plain disinformation, from whatever source”

        – no idea what you’re blathering on about here..sounds a bit detached from reality..opinion based on feeling rather than grounded in any evidence ?

        1. Nigel

          Emails getting hacked and turning up on a strange laptop in a random repair shop run by a friend of the president’s lawyer might, just might, be a political dirty trick operation is a conspiracy theory but a vast network of liberal media and the Democrats and the CIA and social media companies to silence a supposed scandalous story isn’t?

          Of course the laptop is a distraction. It hasn’t been shown to be ‘authentic’ as you and Greenwald claim, so let’s skip over that and get to the content of the emails!

          Which neither you or Greenwald seem in a rush to share or highlight despite their supposed importance. Is it because there’s nothing incriminating in them? At all?

          Pretty sure you get that the entire story and the people involved gave every indication of the whole thing being an effort to fabricate a scandal, you just can’t admit it. But that Giuliani is so trustworthy and his Russian connections ain’t dodgy!

          1. K.Cavan

            Liberal media outlets being dishonest!? Heaven forfend! If any liberal media ever published a truthful word it would just be an honest mistake on their part, Nigel.
            I bet somebody wrote a whole slew of incriminating emails, faked dozens of photographs with a Hunter lookalike, typed out months of the to & fro of a series of social media accounts, planted them on Hunter’s computer, when he was coked up & dropped it into a computer shop. And waited.
            Stop laughing, that could happen.
            Even the lying scumbags of the corporate media have acknowledged the truth about the laptop, Nigel.
            What colour is the sky in your world, Nigel or is there even a sky?

          2. Nigel

            The New York Post and Glen Greenwald are dishonest, but I don’t think they’re liberal.

            If they’d put even that much effort in to it, it might have had a better chance of working. Or if Giuliani hadn’t flaked out beyond all recovery.

      2. K.Cavan

        Pelosi, Mitt Romney & Biden all have sons taking bribes from the $5billion slush fund created to overthrow successive democratically-elected Ukrainian governments, Nigel. Everybody knows this.
        Hunter Biden is a rich, dumbass, crackhead, he needs help, what’s your excuse for being so completely out to lunch?

          1. K.Cavan

            Prove it.
            Everything that runs contrary to your authoritarian vision of the world is a lie, Nigel. Now go & have a lie down.

          2. Nigel

            My proof it’s a lie is the fact that it hasn’t been proven, but you’re saying it as if it has, making it a lie.

    3. K.Cavan

      I think the NYT may change its tune when they find out that Nigel has declared the laptop story a hoax & is not for turning. Stubborn as a mule, he is, similar IQ too, to judge by his determination to be wrong.

      1. Too Miuch Too Long

        I think the Kevin may change its tune when they find out that Cavan has declared the laptop story a hoax & is not for turning. Stubborn as a mule, he is, similar IQ too, to judge by his determination to be wrong.

        Do keep up dear- Pfizer is on the fifth- plus HIV don’t you know, sure its only the Jews and the gays.

    1. K.Cavan

      Nah, nobody with a functioning brain pays any attention to the New York Times, it’s a laughing stock, even among the worthless slime that infests the corporate media, it’s an outlier. Scumbags & lunatics took that rag over years ago.

      1. Too Miuch Too Long

    Nigel, have you seen the stills from the Biden laptop that are out there or the video linked below from a Daily Mail exclusive?

    Smoking crack, sleeping with prostitutes, and having pedo pictures on your laptop, as the presidents son is a pretty easy way to compromise the entire presidential office. The Biden’s will say or do anything the CCP ask at this point.

    Pope Francis denounces ‘abuse of power’ in Russia-Ukraine war

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/18/pope-francis-denounces-abuse-of-power-in-russia-ukraine-war

    “Pope Francis has denounced the “perverse abuse of power” on display in Russia’s war in Ukraine and called for aid to Ukrainians, whom he said had been attacked in their “identity, history and tradition” and were “defending their land”. Francis’s comments, in a message to a gathering of European Catholic representatives on Friday, were some of his strongest yet in asserting Ukraine’s right to exist as a sovereign state and to defend itself against Russia’s invasion. They came days after he told the head of the Russian Orthodox church, Patriarch Kirill, that the concept of a “just war” was obsolete since wars were never justifiable and pastors must preach peace, not politics. Those comments, during a video call with Kirill on Wednesday, were an indirect criticism of the patriarch’s apparent defence of the war. Kirill, who is close to the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, has seemingly justified the invasion by describing it as part of a struggle against sin and pressure from liberal foreigners to hold “gay parades”…”
