I didn't read it because I don't care. Critical support if true.
My parents watch 60 Minutes because they are old. The whole show tonight was devoted to this story.
Didn't congress already give them a blank check for any medical care they need and stuff? What do they want? Our credulity? Our sympathy?
Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
I heard a few minutes of it. They had someone who experienced it, and went on on how they figured it must be some enemy act immediately.
No, honey, you have surprise neurological symptoms, you go to the fucking hospital. Once they've figured out for sure that you're having an active stroke, then you can call the spooks.
It seems like building a billion-rouble Death Ray Lite^TM^ and blasting rays to incapicate embassy staff is an awfully scattershot and Rube Goldberg solution for a problem that could be solved by setting up, say, an "auto accident" or "robbery breakin" to put a vital staffer out of commission.
The whole 60 Minutes piece was full of blatant contradictions and suspect investigative work. Examples:
Some "expert" guest explicitly blamed Russia.
Classic CIA projection, in other words.
