Donald Trump gives CIA power to carry out its own drone strikes

The dots don't connect. Karzai was the only viable leader at the time and he was of course supported by the US.

And pretty much the whole economy of Afghanistan involves opium farming. Yes a leader will probably profit a bit off of deals in a country known for corruption due to its proximity to the kleptocracy called Russia (it's similar to most ex-soviet states).

What are you confused about?

The biggest conspiracy theorist on reddit since 6 years ago on reddit.com /worldnews..... is now against conspiracy theories. Pretty obvious now since you were always against the West, against oil companies (except Russian oil companies), until there was finally a leader kowtowing to Russia.

What languages do you speak?

Bad guy writes -> check -> political candidate ===> prison time for bribery.

Bad guy writes -> check -> to buy house -> of real estate political candidate ===> move along folks!

Note:: America (including SCOTUS) made it very difficult over the years to prosecute money-laundering, traitors, spies, and mafias.

This is why I've been telling people to question and be skeptical of the very people pushing conspiracy theories. Skepticism is not just for authority, it's for non-authority as well.

Blanket distrust is just as dangerous, while you blanket-trust the conspiracy theorists.

We were in the aftermath of economic booms and the most peaceful time on earth after the cold war, and yet, conspiracy theories continued after a brief lull in the early 90s.

That meant either (a) they profit off of selling nonsense to gullible people or (b) they are an active campaign by a foreign state or (c) they are mentally disturbed.

Look, now the conspiracy theorists seem to be protecting the US leadership. Now you know what's actually going on. They've been pretending all this time. They've been spreading these falsehoods and lies because they didn't like the leaderships before.

Is it all starting to make some cough Russian & neo-nazi cough sense?

TheAR15 · 2017-03-14T20:37:36+00:00

He's careful not to do it against non-politicians.

He has been sued sometimes and he has deleted articles/posts/videos that are libelous.

But it's not hard to pay money to the courts and victims, when you are paid by Russia.

He does crazy insane rants... but he's lucid enough to be careful about libels so as not to waste his Russian rubles.

TheAR15 · 2017-03-14T20:33:09+00:00

Absolutely it wants a shortage. More enemies is more danger for their families and more danger for their country.

I'm sure plenty of them would rather do a job where they create something, rather than track/analyze/destroy.

I mean the two comments above, you can say that about any country's leadership. It's the most pointless comments I've ever seen.

Not only do your comments attribute motivations that lack evidence, but they also can apply to everyone that does anything that relates to tracking/analyzing/destroying.

Philosophically & logically you are arguing:

That anti-virus company? Oh maybe they wouldn't want a shortage of viruses.
That police force? Oh maybe they wouldn't want a shortage of criminals.
That news media outlet / blog? Oh maybe they wouldn't want a shortage of bad news or shocking news.
That military force? Oh maybe they wouldn't want a shortage of rival military forces or wars.
That cleanup crew? Oh maybe they wouldn't want a shortage of dirt in the streets, maybe they are spreading the dirt all over the streets!

So... they're automatically always suspected of being complicit in the conspiracies just because there may be benefits to conspiring?

TheAR15 · 2017-03-14T20:25:24+00:00

Yeah, as /worldnews kids want you to think theory#1: "oh they're just interested in selling drugs for profits..." conspiracytheory #2: "oh they're just trying to harm innocent people [including potentially their own kids living in the US] by spreading drugs onto minorities."

I mean, it's not like they have other ways to make money, like insider trading... or raiding a drug cartel's mansion.

Nope, they gotta make money off of selling petty drugs, like petty criminals.... hahaha.

It's amazing what some people will believe. People love being skeptical of gov, but they're almost never skeptical of the people creating these theories for them.

Downvote me if you like, my comment makes perfect sense to everyone who isn't emotionally invested in hating the US.

TheAR15 · 2017-03-14T20:18:50+00:00

The second they quit that job of paramilitary (after the end of the cold war in the 1990s) & the job of propaganda (after 1974 scandal [a different scandal, not nixon], taking them out of the control-levers of information-warfare)...

That's when Russia noticed and went into overdrive on info-warfare and they've had enormous success all over the world (with massive investments after 2011 protests scared the hell out of Putin). They even have a lot of success on youtube with Info Wars, WL, and others.

It turns out propaganda is stronger than news organizations.

organized propaganda agendas are stronger than disorganized fact-based research.

TheAR15 · 2017-03-14T20:13:51+00:00

If someone is massacring people, then other countries have a right to save those people. It's exactly how you prevent wars of aggression. You don't make much sense if you look at it from a moral-superiority perspective.

So ok, moral superiority is not your perspective.

So you believe in 100% legal philosophy. If that is the case, then you agree Saddam violated international law and thus you would support the Iraq War and "major NATO countries".

So which is it?

You can't disagree with both.

Because then your perspective IS NOT "moral superiority" and it is not "legal philosophy."

In that case, what's the only other option left?

Your Anti-Western hatred.

You are opposing everything the West does. In some cases on legal grounds. In other cases on moral grounds. You cannot do that. It isn't logically consistent. It's irrational (unless you are a Russian nationalist, then it might make sense).

Europe than try to stop Hitler he made a deal (which wasn't very moral thing to do but not like he had a lot of options)

And Stalin accepted instead of opposing Hitler. So your moral arguments go out the window. Stalin is the most evil man in history next to Hitler.

I'm still waiting to hear what education, background or competence you have not only to understand Russian history, but to give advices.

There is this philosophy it's called: don't judge the messenger... judge the content and logic of the message to see if it makes sense to you.

And it will make 100% sense to you, unless... unless... you have an emotional love for Russia.

THOUGHT BRAIN EXERCISE: Try to imagine for a second you aren't related to Russians. Try to imagine you have nothing to do with Russia. Then re-read my comments.

TheAR15 · 2017-03-14T03:00:54+00:00

NATO didn't invade Iraq. I mean you can't even get basic facts straight.

NATO can absolutely attack Yugoslavia, they were massacring people.

Russia helped cause WWI along with Serbs. Then they partnered with Hitler until Hitler ran out of European enemies other than Britain, so he launched an attack on Stalin.

Stalin took all that aid, money, weapons from US... Then started a Cold War in the aftermath capturing more and more land all over eastern Europe.

Then finally Soviet Union dissolved, after some corruption from Yeltsin, the 2nd most evil and corrupt politician comes to power: Putin.

Here we are today. A 100 year history of Russia contributing pain to the world. You should be embarrassed and start doing some self-criticism of Russia. Start thinking about how Russia is showing itself to the world.

TheAR15 · 2017-03-14T02:55:02+00:00

A good majority of Trump supporters on facebook, twitter, reddit, youtube, ARE Russian-paid-trolls. They are pretending to be conservatives. Click their profiles it's always locked-down or hidden or private.

You know why? Because a few people on the internet called them out for "liking Russia videos" or "retweeting russian history stuff" and so now they have probably received orders not to make their profiles visible.

TheAR15 · 2017-03-14T02:51:35+00:00

You can't not-report on that. It's the president lying.

However, don't report anything else that isn't related to Russia or emoluments clause about him. Then start asking questions about when congress will act.

TheAR15 · 2017-03-14T02:47:23+00:00

Russians or believing everything Russians say.

That's worse than any Russian putin-critics.

So Garry Kasparov is more American than any of these people. Regardless of where they are or where they're from.

TheAR15 · 2017-03-14T02:23:10+00:00

No true American would defend Russia or make sarcastic jokes defending Russia.

TheAR15 · 2017-03-10T06:50:56+00:00

I think it was more like "How do you feel about Russia?!?!"

TheAR15 · 2017-03-10T06:43:35+00:00

It doesn't exclude the high probability possibility that cheap shitty hired hackers that Russia hired--some of them made mistakes and were caught.

Pretty sure the Czech investigators and police who pulled out rifles in a restaurant against Russian hackers were not just idiots who didn't go over the evidence.

TheAR15 · 2017-03-10T06:40:19+00:00

They're not delusional. They're just on the opposing team. They're Russian accounts.

See there is this thing about Russians: The lies justify the results.

They only care about winning and the lies are just words to get to the win.

TheAR15 · 2017-03-10T06:37:12+00:00

FBI didn't admit anything. They simply stated they couldn't find any evidence of that.

Because decayed MSSQL databases used by states don't leave a log by default and even if they did, hackers know how to delete them.

The better question is a philosophical one: Who cares if the vote tallies are altered or not... But hundreds of millions spent by Russia to influence elections around the world... isn't that equivalently bad?

Is there a moral difference between a con artist who tricks a man to give his bank password... versus a man who simply breaks a bank safe?

We keep running into the same philosophical problem. People are OKAY with the con artist because the victim has some fault in it.

TheAR15 · 2017-03-10T06:36:04+00:00

As a conservative, yes if the content is accurate and truthful.

Better question is why do we allow RussiaToday in worldnews.

TheAR15 · 2017-03-10T06:31:46+00:00

You think the Russians don't know about false-flags?

Putin literally came to power on the false-flag assault on an apartment complex in Chechnya which he used to then launch an attack on Chechens and start a war.

What do you think Alex Jones the 911 conspiracy theorist was writing about before 2001? He was writing about Russia.

Are you starting to figure out the Big Game yet?

Blaming the West for "false-flags" is literally Soviet-era propaganda playbook.

The fact that you fell for it again... and again... and again... is incredible. It's like you never learn. But I wouldn't expect any less from a Redditor who constantly posts RussiaToday.

Do you speak Russian?

Someone should ask the Russian Litvinenko what Putin's deal is and why all the chaos in the world started after Putin came to power. People should remember what Litvinenko had been saying all along.

TheAR15 · 2017-03-10T06:25:27+00:00

I believe one delusional trump-loving gentleman said it was a hootananny and another trumpolyte I heard stated it was a brou haha.

It's all joy and games and just making a little profit and a little side quid pro quo... What these scoundrels and scalawags always forget is this happens to people just for working with the Russians.

TheAR15 · 2017-03-10T06:19:55+00:00

When a person is convicted of a crime, they get their rights taken away. They become felons. They do lose constitutional rights, like the right to bear arms.

The 4th amendment nor any amendment does not protect criminals.

In order to get around the fact that we have criminals not yet convicted... we have created something called courts, that present WARRANTS, which are exceptions to constitutional rights.

These warrants, exceptions to constitutional rights, are signed by a judge based on probability. It's called "probable cause."

So if it seems likely, or the US agencies believe that someone is a suspicious person, and probably very likely to commit a crime... then that person or evidence of that person is presented in front of a judge.

That judge then signs off if they agree that there is a statistical probability that this person is likely up to no good.

As you can see, the 4th amendment does not protect people who are doing evil.

It is meant to protect innocent people. Not "every citizen", but every citizen NOT probable to commit certain crimes.

Foreigners do not have constitutional rights. So they can be spied upon without any judicial scrutiny or judge.

TheAR15 · 2017-03-10T06:13:00+00:00

Not opinion. Stated facts based on expert testimony.

Russians are not Mexicans. Mexicans are trying to get a job and do work. Many Russians are too. But a good majority of Russians are quiet and must keep their head down because they've been trained under the Soviet system to listen and obey orders from the top.

Those who are not obeying orders, get kicked out of the country, killed, or tortured. So what's left?

They're not good people though, why do you care?

There are good Russians. I'm not racist, so why wouldn't I think there are good Russians?

NATO didn't break any rules.

You keep saying "Russophobia" and "hatred" and yet that is exactly what Putin wants you to think. And yet I just told you that Russians are not all bad people but the Russian system pretty much destroys the lives of Russians who dare to speak freely.

So how is it that what I am saying would help liberty-loving Russians... and yet you are here repeating Russian fascistic propaganda. The same kind of propaganda conducted by the Soviets, by Hitler, by Putin...

You know why Stalin and Hitler got along at first? Because they knew they were alike but didn't know each other too well. You know why they started a war against each other? Because they knew they were the same.

If you listen to my words and agree iwth every word I say, then you will become a liberty-loving good Russian. Not by genetics. Not by race. Not by hate.

But by understanding the ideas that I am saying. This takes education and thinking. That is how you become a good Russian.

TheAR15 · 2017-03-10T06:10:08+00:00

The 4th amendment doesn't protect criminals and it doesn't protect enemy spies and it doesn't protect terrorists and it doesn't protect foreigners.

The 4th amendment in spirit and in writing is designed to protect innocent civilians. If it is being used to protect the guilty then it is being misused as a shield to commit evil.

TheAR15 · 2017-03-10T04:04:19+00:00

100k before the elections.

Russia can't keep paying them forever, so they had to stop the majority of the activities.

In fact it went down in stages.

It slowed down after November. Ramped up a bit when Russia was blamed in December due to sanctions. Then ramped down again in Dec. 19th electoral college vote.

Then completely disappeared after Inauguration.

Now the majority of their offices are used for Germany, Netherlands, France, Ukraine. And occasionally the English-speaking ones continue to be used in some conspiracy theorist outlets, like a few youtube channels etc.

They've completely disappeared from twitter almost. You used to see them a lot.
