By the way, I was looking for any and all criticisms of you online and stumbled on your spat with Seymour Hersh and a MIT rocket expert team headed by Postol et al from like two years back about those Sarin gas attacks in Syria. And about ten thousand foilhat media articles denouncing you as a NATO lizard. What I can't find is Hersh ever acknowledging that you even exist, did he ever actually respond to you in any way? Or Postol for that matter?

And about ten thousand foilhat media articles denouncing you as a NATO lizard. Yeah, he was interviewed in Diken about it http://www.diken.com.tr/seymour-her...ttack-in-syria/ Diken then interview both myself and Dan Kaszeta about that interview http://www.diken.com.tr/brown-moses...for-the-rebels/ http://www.diken.com.tr/dan-kaszeta...acturing-sarin/ Funnily enough, I was at the ARIJ journalism festival in Jordan, and Seymour Hersh was going to appear the day after I left, so all the Syrian journalists and activists there were very keen on me battling to the death with him at some point, but disappointed to know I wouldn't be there. They apparently gave him a real grilling on the subject (after a lengthy deep dive discussion with me), or so they told me after I left. So I managed to get mild food poisoning from some Lebanese food, and the next morning I'm up, ready to take my flight out of Jordan, and I leave my room, and head to the elevators. Just then, an American who is behind me asks "excuse me, do you know where they serve breakfast?", and I turn around and it's Seymour Hersh. Obviously he doesn't recognise me, and I'm feeling way too ill and gassy to start any debates, so I just say, "yeah, downstairs, to your left", and take the lift down to the lobby. Although in fairness, if I had been fit and healthy I probably wouldn't have bothered anyway, especially not before breakfast. As for Ted Postol, I keep meeting people from MIT who give me the impression he's seen as a fringe figure among his fellow academics, and it was me and Dan Kaszeta who got invited to the OPCW's anniversary event, not Hersh and Postol.

We have zero evidence for any of it, but it's not disproven so therefore you're wrong and also Obama wants a war against Assad". So four years of work and the criticism seems to add up to "nuh-uh". Impressive.

Impressive. We also know the exact type of rockets used in the attacks were used in previously chemical attacks against opposition held areas, and also the explosive version of the same rocket was used since late 2012, and is still photographed and filmed in use today. I've examined images of these in extremely close detail, down to the bolts and welds, and all past examples are identical in every way to the ones used on August 21st 2013. So it's not only a case of being able to make them, but make them to be perfect copies of the ones used in previous attacks.

There's a couple MIT professors like that, including a Computer Science professor with an unhealthy obsession with the dangers of GMOs, and MIT was previously funding work by the goofball who says that GMOs are dangerous and claims he invented email, but they cut him off.

Brown Moses posted:There's a live blog here March 16. The annual controversy concerning the Remembrance day of the Latvian legionnaires. It's a fairly polarizing event and for a good reason. The controversy is caused by the legionnaires having been part of the foreign Waffen-SS, while the widely accepted view is that they were forcibly conscripted and were recognized as such by the Nuremberg tribunal. As you can imagine, the event is especially disliked by WWII vets who fought on the Soviet side and their descendants. That 'occupation vs. liberation' juxtaposition is one of the reasons why nationalists of both flavours are especially concerned about this. kalstrams posted:This is almost too good to be true. Quick translation would be him being a giant prick during the commemoration of Latvian Legion,, trying to incite and provoke the attendees, and to otherwise disrupt the event. Eventually got into problems with security officers, they summoned police, whom then he did also resist. He is being held by police now on the grounds of aggressive public behaviour and resisting the law enforcement officials, may get a fine and/or an administrative protocol (think of probation). I'm skeptical and am pretty sure he was going for that to create a photo-op for his documentary, RT or internal consumption within Russia. The arrest will be spun to strengthen whatever case he's making and this will not be the last we see of it.

He's actually livestreaming right now https://www.periscope.tv/w/1lPKqjorbnlGb Straight from the Police Station. Edit: And it stopped. Right after someone telling him: "Hey, put your stuff down otherwise the police will do it by force." While he was "Call the British Embassy!!! I am from Great Britain! I am a journalist! This is restricting free speech!! Let me go!!!". What a dweeb. Edit 2: Ah right, the stream is actually the last thing recorded. It all ended long ago. And I thought I was onto something...

Obama actually expressed interest in a political prisoner. I think that's the first time America calls Russia out on it but it's a case with a lot of media attention. I kinda doubt anything will come out of it, though.
