    What's wrong with spreading false conspiracy theories for profit?

    That should be very obvious.

    She has a profit motive for falsifying and sensationalising things in her documentary. Therefore by the logic you guys use all the time, she's doing that.
    Follow the money, right?

    Should be easy for you to point out the falsifications so
    enlighten us

    But why should I?

    She has profit motive for doing so as well as exaggerating facts.
    Isn't that enough to assume that she is doing those things?

    It is usually enough for you guys when it suits you.

    Also, again, she worked for Info Wars, thus we can conclude she has no journalistic integrity.

    Not unexpected here, people with their eyes open could see it- Russiagate was a democratic witch hunt.

    Carter Page: ‘I was a pawn in the Democrat crusade to bring down Trump’
    Not until lurid headlines damned Carter Page as a traitor to his country in September 2016, six weeks before the presidential election, did he realize someone was using him to play a dirty political trick.

    Reporters had been hounding the energy investor with strangely detailed questions about his ties to Russia. Page told each of them that he was a former US Navy lieutenant, a graduate of Annapolis, an Eagle Scout — hardly a likely protagonist in some cloak-and-dagger drama.

    But he had also served as a foreign policy adviser to Donald J. Trump. And secretly, within a collection of Democratic opposition-research memos soon to be known as the Steele Dossier, Page had been cast as the GOP candidate’s liaison to Vladimir Putin.

    It was the launch of the collusion tale that nearly destroyed a presidency. And the little-known Page, now 49, had an unsought starring role.

    In fact, as he repeatedly informed FBI investigators all the way up to Director James Comey himself, Page was a longtime CIA informant, not only on Russian affairs but on China and the Middle East.

    His status as a trusted US intelligence source extended beyond the CIA. Only months before, Page had helped the FBI itself make a case against an accused Russian spook.

    That should have been enough to clear Page’s name. Instead, the FBI painted a target on his back.


    Serious allegations made here, arrests should be made then?

    In August 2016, documents show, the CIA told the Crossfire Hurricane team that Page had been a trusted informant for years. That explained all of the Russian contacts the FBI saw as suspicious — two months before agents filed the first warrant against Page.

    The FBI illegally withheld that exculpatory evidence from the FISA court.

    Later, in June 2017, Clinesmith — by then a member of Mueller’s staff — made the offense overt by altering a CIA document that confirmed Page’s status with the agency, Durham told the court. Clinesmith took a guilty plea on Aug. 19.

    Pathetic you accuse someone of telling lies then refuse to point out where she lied
    how can anyone take you seriously

    As for a filmmaker/journalist profiting from their work
    the godfather of sceptics is doing the same

    It should be noted the 60 mins segment is from 2011. Congress passed the STOCK act 5 months later:

    In a bizzare quirk, we’ve permitted our politicians to do things that we can’t. Prior to 2012, Congress members were not prohibited from insider trading. Senator Richard Burr from North Carolina was a fierce opponent of a bill that ultimately banned this practice. In an interview at the time, Burr said about the potential new law, “It’s ludicrous.” He voted against the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act and said, “I mean, it’s insane.”

    That didnt seem to stop them

    Imagine the scope for this type of crime when you have private contractors in cahoots with intelligence agencies :eek:

    Same about the gofundme rubbish you guys were ranting about
    Not a peep about dirty cop Andrew McCabe fird from the FBI and getting 500k

    Why should anyone take you guys seriously

    But I haven't accused her of lying.
    You are once again misrepresenting my position.

    My position is that given she works/worked for
    Info Wars and is proposing a theory that inherently silly on the face of it, I see no reason to take her at all seriously.

    I make the additional point that you guys are applying a double standard.
    This forum is full of conspiracy theorists accusing any number of people of all sorts of shady behaviour based solely and purely on the notion that they stand to make a profit.

    Yet here, we have an example of some one with a profit motive and every opportunity to deceive people on a number of levels. We also know she doesn't have any journalistic integrity as she works/worked for Info Wars.
    In this case you guys are jumping to her defence and suddenly understand that this argument is illogical.

    When it's someone you guys don't like or want to accuse, then an appeal to motive is more than enough to accuse them.
    When it's someone you like, you say that appeals to motive don't apply
    That's the double standard.

    (Snip quoting form a dictionary cliche)
    Yes. I'm aware of the definition of the word thanks.

    But ironically, you seem to have misunderstood the sentance.
    I'm not saying that she did falsify anything.
    I said she has a profit motive for falsifying things.
    I said that as part of my point that I explained in my previous post.(ie. You guys apply a double standard.)

    Are you saying she has no profit motive for falsifying, exaggerating and sensationalising things?

    Again, I'm not saying she's lying. I never claimed any specific things she said are lies.

    You keep misrepresenting me. I'm not sure why you think that's helping.

    No thanks. You're doing a great job of demonstrating.

    I haven't weaseled out of anything. I just corrected your misrepresentation of my position directly and clearly.

    For example you are misrepresenting my post above. Perhaps because you did not understand the operative part:
    Therefore by the logic you guys use all the time, she's doing that.

    Meanwhile you are actually avoiding my points and questions, which could actually be defined as weasely.

    For example I asked you directly: are you denying she has a profit motive for falsifying things?
    Rather than googling the definition of words, you could try answering points directly and fully on the first try.
    Ya know, for a change...

    Lol no. You are failing to understand simple English here in your rush to misrepresent me.

    I wasn't saying she was falsifying anything. I haven't claimed that.

    I was illustrating how conspiracy theorists like yourself use the appeal to motive. And I was highlighting how you selectively apply it depending on whether or not it's convenient.
    But it appears this has gone over your head.

    When I say "by your logic" I am pointing out why your logic is flawed and why you shouldn't use that argument.

    Again this lady stands to profit from lying and exaggerating things.
    Does that automatically mean she is lying?

    You are grasping at straws to find something to back up your accusation now you've realised you made an error in reading comprehension.

    I did not accuse her of falsifying anything in that post.

    You are also avoiding my points and questions.

    For example I asked you directly:
    Does she have a profit motive for falsifying things and exaggerating and misrepresenting things?

    If so, does this automatically mean she is doing those things?

    Yes or no to both questions would be fine.

    Yea. A "reporter" from Infowars.
    There's no way she can be lying...
    We just gotta take her word for it...
    The documentary can't be a good one because it's about fantasy, produced by known liars.

    Still think your being misrepresented

    like I said previously why would anyone take you serious

    You insinuated she was a liar many times and when you were asked to point out where in the film she lied you couldnt

    you went into weasel mode like you always do

    Well see now your moving the goal posts. You previously claimed that I said she was a liar.
    Now you're accusing me of just "insinuating" she's a liar.

    But I did neither, as we can see from the quotes you've been trying to misrepresent.

    It is always about the jews
    Karl Marx, Lenin, and Trotsky were all Jews. All of the major communist leaders and intellectuals were Jews. Trying to fight communism without talking about the Jews involved is like trying to dry off by jumping into a swimming pool. Jews stopped backing communism only after Israel became an independent state and Stalin started purging Zionists. Now only about 80% of the diaspora are Communists, the other 20% are Zionists since most of the Zionist ones moved to Israel. Communist Jews Run the Left, Zionist Jews Run the right. It is known as the Kosher Sand-which.

    I didn't claim she lied.
    I didn't insinuate that she lied.

    You are grasping at straws and you are misrepresenting things so you can pretend you've caught me out. It's very silly.

    Conspiracy theorists have no issue using appeals to motive when it suits them but then whinge when someone turns it around on someone they like.
