Quoted: Put the goalposts down. This entire line of discussion is dragging on because you have taken great pains to be overly dismissive of the work of multiple, independent sources of data and analysis which are corroborated by multiple other individuals working in independent official channels which often arrive at the same conclusions well in advance of public notice through media channels. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: I thought about who touches the information. In RT's case, since it belongs to the Russian state, any information will pass by a censor's desk at some point, if not multiple times, between someone writing it and it being published. In the satellite imagery case, who touched that data between the photos/videos were taken and then they reached the intended audience? So, I think we are all talking about chain of custody. And, because of that, "regular dudes on the street" have to swallow any bs that's spit on them? Gee, wouldn't it be nice if there were mechanisms by which to validate information without relying on official sources? Definitely. And that's what we are discussing here. And just because sometimes there's no agreement about the information credibility, it does not mean that is it "Russian talking points" as some try to imply. If it's RT, it's literally Russian talking points. Dancing around it or glossing over that fact doesn't make it go away. You have been told a 100% truth that this is the most well documented conflict in history and you are making an active choice to ignore a wealth of high confidence OSINT work in favor of headlines that line up with what you choose to believe. If you go back, no one is questioning that RT is the Russian side, or propaganda. What is being questioned is the information presented to the American public, which also comes from very questionable sources. Therefore, as OP suggested, using RT to help figuring out where the truth really is might not be a bad idea. I haven't gone to that website yet but might take a look. The truth will be hidden somewhere between what the MSM and its cohorts have been vomiting and what Russia and China have been spitting. The difficult part is filtering the useful stuff from the trash. You are crafting a strawman from a false dichotomy that the only sources of information available are MSM and whatever its positional antithesis might be. You should not do that. I used "MSM and cohorts" as a general descriptive. I agree there are many more sources in between the two extremes. The big problem is how to find them. Even in this very website it is not easy to figure out what is real and what is not, mostly when there's a group hellbent on painting anyone and anything that do not flow with "free Ukraine!" narrative as "Russian propaganda". I read a couple posts talking about threads that try to impartially discuss what's going on using intelligence and military expertise. Where are they? Some that were started to discuss the backstage of that war were quickly trashed by that nonsensical discussion. Those threads aren't anywhere you can get at them because the torrent of idiocy in GD drove them elsewhere where there are better noise filters and better contributors. GD should probably take a break to ponder that dynamic. So, that leaves only GD, which will keep doing its "GD thing" to discuss this, since the filtered threads aren't accessible to everyone. And, for the obvious reasons, the discussions will keep going all over template. What makes me curious is why some members, usually the same ones, tend to show up in the threads that try to discuss the whys and other issues that do not go with the official "free Ukraine!" narrative and trash them with "Russian propaganda", "Putin lovers", etc. and nothing useful to contribute. That males those members no different than those fanatical leftists and just show a desperation to hide the actual truth. Let alone that their credibility is already trashed. However, for me, the worst part is that all this only diverts the attention from much worse things happening at home and if they are not fixed ASAP the US will go the same way of Ukraine, if not worse. This may come as something of a shock, but people might actually get trashed with "Russian propaganda" when they are echoing actual Russian talking points. What is "Russian propaganda"? Suddenly, the media, politicians, and even some once-reputable government agencies that lie through their teeth are telling the truth (i.e. "free Ukraine!" narrative). I once even got a member telling me that "soros was doing a good thing now by going against Putin". So, can I say that "Putin is doing a good thing for going against soros"? The latter is currently a much bigger problem for the US than the first, as well as several of the US politicians backing Ukraine. Furthermore, a many people once criticizing and censoring others because of "Russian collusion" ended-up exposed as the ones doing it. I suspect you may be overthinking the problem if you are struggling with a definition of Russian propaganda. Just want to set expectations and terms & definitions since it appears that anything that goes against the "free Ukraine!" narrative is labeled as "Russian propaganda". Roland's response notwithstanding, your continued use of "free Ukraine! narrative" is pointedly dismissive. We're using the term "Russian propaganda" in a literal sense in that people are, deliberately or otherwise, taking stances and repeating talking points that directly align with Russian statements or interests. This is a very vague and broad definition. Using the same metrics, one can also say that the "free Ukraine!" narrative uses MSM and typical leftist talking points, which are also based in lies as the Russian's. Furthermore, as I also compared before, if aligning with the gang (e.g. soros, hillary, pedo Joe, etc.) that is promoting the invasion in the US' southern border is OK because it's "convenient" ("enemy of my enemy..."), then one can use the same argument that Russia is an ally by convenience, since it's against that gang (assuming it really is - jury still out). After all, the southern border invasion is a much more pressing issue for the Americans. However, I do not agree with partnerships with the devil. And I also do not see anyone here defending Putin or Russia. Therefore, if, by coincidence, it matches some "Russian talking points", it just shows that the "free Ukraine!" talking points being questioned are bs and do not hold water to a point that a simple "Russian talking point" easily challenges them. Sun Tzu is a real thing and ignoring or censoring opposing views usually lead to bad results. The Russian's Keystone Cops performance in this war, if really happening, could have been caused by Putin only keeping "yes men" on his side, which is typical of autocrats. That's a lot of non sequitur to justify ignoring that the people that you are talking about haven't once cited MSM as a source. You probably missed the folks quoting CNN, WaPo and alike. Even read a post saying that "this time the MSM was telling the truth" while others were defending soros. So, there's that. And it's not "non-sequitur", unless you want to focus on the tree and not the forest. Put the goalposts down. This entire line of discussion is dragging on because you have taken great pains to be overly dismissive of the work of multiple, independent sources of data and analysis which are corroborated by multiple other individuals working in independent official channels which often arrive at the same conclusions well in advance of public notice through media channels. I have yet to see this data that you are describing. I asked for links to the threads that have solid and reputable information and still got none. So far, I saw a lot of bs and near-fanatic posts, with nothing to back them, saying that what does not fit the "free Ukraine!" narrative is "Russian propaganda" and who posts them are "Putin lovers". |

Quoted: Those mature, independent geniuses you’re talking about watch videos of people sobbing about their loved ones being raped and murdered and then say “maybe they are crisis actors!” View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: hard to believe you are still in here carrying on as you are after 3 days... really not sure what you think. the continuous circular arguments are tiring. mature people who are independent thinkers are not going to abandon their own faculties of critical thinking and assessment, and all a sudden allow afcom OSintBros to start dictating what they should believe and think. maybe that works in the closed military sub-forum, idk one can only guess your motivations and agendas. the inflated sense of self-importance coming out of your camp is cringeworthy Those mature, independent geniuses you’re talking about watch videos of people sobbing about their loved ones being raped and murdered and then say “maybe they are crisis actors!” Considering that the vast majority of the information arriving here come from sources known for making things up, is that an unreasonable question? |

FARA isn’t used enough in the US.
I believe they the last several elections in Ukraine had results that were valid. Other seem to believe that when an election is of disputed validity it’s wrong to show up and demand that the results be recognized as fake. Meaning Russians, their stooges, and liberals. |

View Quote The best you’re going to get is primary sources. Those can still be lies. Go find them. I have a feeling there are no sources that say things you don’t want to believe, which you’ll call reliable. |

That sums it up quite well. Let's see how long it will take to be labeled as "Russian propaganda". |
