Official Gov’t Docs Expose Michelle Obama’s 14 Year History as a Man by Alphix in politics

I love how the conspiritards get to put "official" Infront of their make-believe nonsense.

Some neckbeard retard came up with a voting form with M circled instead of F. He insists it's an "official" document and because that would align with OP's imaginary world view, what more proof could be required! He said it's official didn't he! So it must be!

Okay let's assume it's real! So why did Michelle do that? She wrote "Michelle" on the form. She was married to America's future most powerful man. She had the machinery of the imaginary conspiracy behind her to help cover up the alleged sex change.

But! She couldn't lie to the county vote board!

She had all the powerful backing, but she knew, she HAD to circle the correct gender on the form, even though she wrote a fake name, even at the risk that 14 years later some neckbeard would produce the document!

Why do you think she did it, op? What could possibly persuade one of America's greatest coverups to break the façade when writing to the county vote board?

This is so dumb. You're so dumb. What a ridiculous world view you conspiritards allow yourselves to participate in.

Germany's gas spot prices went negative this weekend, because storage is full. They are doing just fine sourcing gas from Qatar, Algeria, Lebanon, all kinds of new friends of the west.

Also, the ruzzia blew up Nord stream, and then claimed it was the Brits. So this meme is at least 3x retarded

https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/26/energy/europe-natural-gas-prices-plunge/index.html

Europe now has so much natural gas that prices just dipped below zero

Europe has more natural gas than it knows what to do with. So much, in fact, that spot prices briefly went negative earlier this week.

For months, officials have warned of an energy crisis this winter as Russia — once the region’s biggest supplier of natural gas — slashed supplies in retaliation for sanctions Europe imposed over its invasion of Ukraine.

Now, EU gas storage facilities are close to full, tankers carrying liquefied natural gas (LNG) are lining up at ports, unable to unload their cargoes, and prices are tumbling.

If you are wearing masks, to be clear; you are a stupid liberal piece of shit. by [deleted] in whatever

[–]Site_rly_sux 8 insightful - 2 fun8 insightful - 1 fun9 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

This is a terminology gap. You're using the wrong words.

A mask is supposed to slow down the aerosolisation of particles from your mouth and nose. It blocks particles which are OUTBOUND.

A respirator is supposed to block airborne particles from coming INBOUND to enter your mouth and nose.

Here's a page from the CDC which helps explain the difference between a mask (outbound) and respirator (inbound).

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/types-of-masks.html

The studies which you found show that masks are not great respirators.

That's fine. They're not supposed to be. Respirators are expensive and can't let anything bad through. Masks can be a cheap bit of cloth and still work to keep the air around you clean.

The purpose of masks is to keep the R0 number down and the science confirms the intuitive logic that they work

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-11934-x

So when you say - "If you are wearing masks, to be clear; you are a stupid liberal piece of shit."

What you should say is - "you are either a stupid liberal, or someone who is under the weather and sensibly wants to move around in public without causing greater risks to everyone else"

And, when we are experiencing a pandemic which has many, many non-symptomatic case, any person who doesn't even feel under the weather might sensibly wear a mask to reduce risk. For example if you are near the elderly, infirm, children, immunocompromised, etc, then even if you don't feel sick but there's a pandemic on - it can still be risk-reducing and sensible to wear a mask.

Okay sorry. I thought (incorrectly) that you believed in science and reality.

I see now that you can only engage with studies which validate the conclusions you already held .

You are into the kind of science, where you decide that masks don't work, and then set out to find proof of the conclusion.

I thought you engaged with the shared reality of discovery and logical positivism, but clearly your head is up your ass, and only studies which prove your pre-existing fake notions can exist in your world, so whatever, my mistake

Evidence of US-Backed Coup in Kiev by [deleted] in history

[–]Site_rly_sux 8 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 0 fun9 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Evidence! Finally! Let's take a look at it.

  1. There's a dead link to the financial times. The link is supposed to prove that "New Citizen" (a pro-democracy group in Ukraine) were receiving funds from "US democracy promotion initiatives"

1a. That actually sounds like good use of public funds.

1b. Congress raises money. Not Obama.

1c. You guys are going to love this. The journalist behind the revelation is Mark Ames. If you don't recognize the name - he founded the eXile magazine with Matt Taibi when they both lived in Moscow.

1d. Ames' linked article is about how eBay and Intercept founder Pierre Omidyar and his Intercept employee Glen Greenwald were secretly behind the maidan revolution. Now Taibi and Greenwald are on the same pro-ruzzian side. Not totally relevant to the rest of the linked article, but funny nonetheless.

1e. Taibi and Ames used to write edgy stories about raping russian women. They filled pies with horse semen to attack random strangers with for clicks.

. 2. The second piece of proof (the first being that us pro-democracy money goes to pro-democracy groups) is Nuland's hacked phone call. I will link the transcript below. She just says who America wants to see part of a formed government. This is their second strongest evidence of a US sponsored coup (the first being that us pro-democracy money went to a pro-democracy group)

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26079957

. 3. The third piece of proof that they cite, is that Joe Biden insisted corrupt prosecutor Viktor Shokin be fired. They forgot that this isn't evidence of a coup.

. 4. There's no fourth piece of evidence cited

Now, on the other hand, we have hundreds of interviews with people who were in maidan square, the thousands of people who participated in a revolution can tell you exactly how the maidan was a revolution and not a coup. But of course three shitty little dribbles of fake news are far more convincing to the Z-prop ruined mushroom brains

Did you read the thread? The Twitter user found that RIA's source is a blogger who sourced their info directly from the ruzzian foreign ministry.

The point is about how false information cycles from the government, to sympathetic bloggers, then into higher-brow media outfits.

And here we have you repeating another falsehood from the ruzzian government, that somehow Ukraine's attempt to escape from the prison of nations, is actually a theft perpetrated by NATO against poor victims of the ruzzia who naturally deserve ownership of Ukraine.

You, a sympathetic internet user, are repeating a ruzzian ministry lie, exactly like the blogger in the OP.

Not quite.

What Jones did to the Sandy Hook parents,

  • targeting them on-air once per month for a decade

  • sending his staff to disrupt their memorial events

  • reading out their addresses on air

Etc etc

This was a malicious campaign against private individuals, that really fucked their lives.

On the other hand, sure, people say things about Jones, but he's a public figure. He has a platform from which to respond to allegations.

When the Young Turks claimed that Alex personally sent child porn to the Sandy Hook parents, Alex sued TYT in court and got a retraction. So, Alex is absolutely aware that he can use the same laws in his favor. Alex Jones is "out there" suing people who slander him, and winning.

Unfortunately for Jones, what other people say about him, is nowhere near the severity of what he did to the sandy hook families.

And not just them, Alex is also in court for slandering someone called Marcel Fontaine.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/03/business/media/infowars-lawsuit-parkland-shooting.html

After the parkland shooting, a random 4chan post claimed Fontaine was behind the shooting - and within minutes, Infowars were repeating the claim on-air. So they're also being sued for that, too, just lifting defamatory fakes directly from 4chan, as Infowars did and continue to do.

So it's not the same at all.

That's a ninety minute long video. Is there any specific point in the video that you feel backs up your point?

It wouldn't even be evidence anyway, because the secretary general of NATO is not a job that decides when or why russia goes to war. Putin didn't just record long videos for you, back in Feb 22, he also wrote long ass essays "on the brotherly relationship" or whatever. Putin explained exactly why he was going to war: he said it's because Peter's Rossiya empire doesn't make any logical sense without Ruthenia.

He said "If you want decommunisation then let's go all the way, no half measures" remember how he recorded a video of himself saying that and then uploaded it to the internet and then invaded Ukraine.

It's because russia / Z / Putin / Dugin has his own view of history. You're not capturing it correctly when you just say "durr it's about NATO". There's also the biolabs, the supersoldiers, the crucified children, the banderamobiles driving around the cities, a whole host of ruthenian issues that you aren't capturing.

You should pay more attention to Putin who explained it a lot better than Jens

I'll miss him, truly. The only one on the Z side who never said anything disrespectful about Ukraine, and never had a good word about the war.

He has never once used the word hohol for example, that I ever heard. He even busted through and debunked some fake propaganda that even big brain saiditors believe, like, he pointed out how Donetsk wasn't really shelled for eight years, like adviika or mariinka which the ruzzians razed in eight weeks.

He was a philosopher peasant and a pickpocket king, he ran slave mines and hotdog stands, and most of all, he had the gumption to capture Rostov and march to save Wagner from absorption.....but the deep, pathos, very human sense to turn around and save everyone from the chaos that he found behind the throne

What a guy. I hope they make a film

Edit to say - for the man most closely connected to the capture of Bakhmut he fucking hated saying artimovsk and you could see his face twist on those one or two occasions he had to say it.

The discord leaks said he was a Ukrainian spy or rogue agent, and his response at the time, was that - "yes, I have spoken through backchannels to Ukraine to organise prisoner swaps, it's very normal"

I don't think he was a spy, but certainly sympathetic to Ukraine, and had his mutiny succeeded he would have stopped the war immediately

Here's the wapo article

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/01/09/russian-trolls-twitter-had-little-influence-2016-voters/

Now u/unclewillard56 you have a tough decision to make.

Either the study is real and you're correct to cite it through this video (in which case you are totally accepting it's conclusions) or the study is a fake and you were wrong to post these smug coastal elites talking about it for 20 minutes.

Because, this study, which must be true and authoritative for you to post a 20 minute video vindicating, found that the reason ruzzian trolls didn't fuck up the election too massively was this:

those who identify as “Strong Republicans” were exposed to roughly nine times as many posts from Russian foreign influence accounts than were those who identify as Democrats or Independents.

Because y'all strong republicans have a media bubble that's nine times more receptive to fake news ruz-prop that normal fucking people

Nine times

Here's what else the study found.

The study looks only at twitter and only at the Twitter accounts which have been proven to be ruzzian state employee propagandists.

The study did not look at Facebook or the propagation of Z/trumpist narratives in thedonald, boomer facebook, qanon or 8kun, saidit, telegram, or any other avenues of trumpist Z prop.

Here's the result

32 million Americans were potentially exposed to content from Internet Research Agency accounts

About one in ten Americans was poisoned by a foreign nation. That deserves article five if you ask me, but that's just me, I'm a r/NCD guy.

So that's the result of a study which was so totally true in your view that it's an admittance of a lie about ruzziagate.

What do you think u/Unclewillard56, about the fact that the evidence you cited shows that around one in ten Americans was exposed to poison by a foreign terrorist. Are you okay with that or is it a bad thing in your view. Because this is Prigozyn we're talking about, the same guy currently sipping borcht at the entry to a salt mine brimming with his leashed rapists and cutthroats

Why would the Russians destroy THEIR OWN pipeline

After the ruzzia's attack on ns1, only ns2 remains to carry the gas.

Ns2 was not approved by German political committee - now the ruzzia believes it has left ns2 as the only remaining choice for germany.

The ruzzia believes that Germany will freeze without their gas, and the ruzzia knows for a fact that it's own economy will die without gas sales to Europe. After they blew up NS1, the ruzzia has ensured that the gas lifeline will be on it's terms alone.

I think you missed the point, which I understood as: mainstream ruzzian MSM interfax agency reported as fact something which they'd lifted from a random blog, which had lifted directly from government propaganda. So the MSM got to enjoy the benefits of reporting government propaganda without the drawbacks of having to explain the source.

And it's just one interesting example of that happening. I think if you read it and only took away the sense that they hadn't dug enough into the middle man random blogger, you probably misunderstood the overall description of hostile information flow from government to MSM

Trump's son's laptop was found with all sorts of incriminating evidence on it

Dude when writing this post title you decided that the strongest point you could make, was Hunter was told that VP Biden would be spending 15 minutes preparing for a phone call.

That's not incriminating. And that was literally the very best you thought you could accomplish.

So don't give us that "incriminating evidence" crap. You found out that Hunter was told that Biden wouldn't be available at 8.45 tomorrow morning. That's not incriminating and it's not evidence. But it was the very best you felt you were capable of.

So maybe come back later when you actually have something incriminating to show us, dipshit

Well, let's examine the facts here, and decide whether it's worth getting upset about.

Firstly, there's a guy who used to work in the trump white house, who prepared a report about Hunter Biden. But only the Daily Mail have seen the report. Got it? You're not allowed to see this report, which was prepared by a trump employee.

So, what has the Mail seen in the report? They found an email which says this

8.45am prep for 9am phon call with Pres Poroshenko

That one line is the sum total of what Chipit calls the "schedule for his call with then-Ukranian president". Yes, witb that one line, chipit is concerned about "nonpublic information from a government job for financial gain".

I guess if you're like me, you're probably asking how chipit established and evidenced and knew all of these things

  1. Was it really nonpublic? Did everyone know a call was scheduled for 9am? Did they tweet and brief the press about it? Here was the readout https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2016/11/16/readout-vice-president-bidens-call-president-petro-poroshenko-ukraine

  2. What financial gain could be gotten between 7pm the evening before, and 9am the next morning? What gain could be made off the fact that Biden was planning to spend 15 minutes beforehand preparing?

  3. If I was Biden's son and I asked him - "hey dad, what are you doing tomorrow morning" and in response I was told "I'll be busy between 8.45 and 9am preparing for a call with Poroshenko" - then have any rules been broken? Which? Remember that the position of Saidit is the trump could declassifying nuclear documents just by thinking about it. So please don't tell me that this should have been classified longer than it took Biden to think up the reply.

This is stupid, chipit is a retard, nobody cares about Hunter conspiracies because he's just a dumb private citizen with problems.

Saidit is being infiltrated and manipulated by paid shills. This is how the fall of Reddit started and if we aren't vigilant, the same could happen here. by EternalSunset in SaidIt

[–]Site_rly_sux 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Ok let's explore that thought a bit further if you don't mind.

  1. Let's say you work at a social media company. What exactly are you doing that could be described as "press rewind". Is someone at saidit comparing the (incredibly high) quality of conversation here, against the (equally highbrow) quality of 2016 discourse that was taking place at other companies?

  2. Do you think, for every single grouping of 25 member Q-adjacent Reddit clones,.someone is doing that analysis? And there're spies/fake conversationalists in each of them?

  3. What are we doing over here that's so dangerous to the establishment? Talking about vaccine denialism isn't helping prevent covid jabs which all happened in 2021. Seriously what is this thing happening over here which is causing such alarm bells within the establishment? And what is the establishment doing here to silence those alarms? By engaging people in text conversation?

  4. Why was trump so damaging to the democrat conspiracy, again? Is it because he showed everyone it was ok to be racist, then tried to sell nukes to Saudis? Was that the thing which the democrats had to scramble all bombers against?

  5. If the conspiracy was in order to elect hilary then why was she suddenly unimportant in 2020 election? Why wasn't Joe Biden the 2016 conspiracy candidate?

  6. Dare I even ask why you think the CDC lied for partisan gain? Wouldn't that be an instant sacking for the CDC spokesperson involved if you could prove it?

Dude to be honest it sounds like you have such high opinion of your own importance to the establishment...like the saucy daily mail stories, Syrian regime propaganda, and people pretending to understand science over here, are such a massive threat to the establishment. It IS cringe. And it's more cringe when you double down

Is daily mail mainstream media?

Is gateway pundit?

Is daily caller?

When I see those links - is it Sock's alts? How come sometimes the MSM links are socks (when I don't agree with the contents of the link)

But sometimes MSM links are not Socks (like when I agree with a daily mail story)

I have to say - it's kind of weird that socks' alts are able to tell in advance whether I will agree with a mail/pundit/caller article.

Then they either submit the link as MSM garbage (when I don't agree) or as a true fact about reality (when I do agree).

It's just kinda suspiciously weird how Socks already knows whether the daily mail links he submits are going to be MSM garbage or not (depending on whether I will agree with the story or not). Kinda weird.

Just for example

Daily mail say COVID is real -> I disagree -> therefore it's MSM garbage -> therefore it has to be Socks

Daily mail say hunter is crooked -> I agree -> therefore it's true and not garbage -> so it wasn't socks this time

Literally every single part of the Sandy Hook conspiracy theory was taken apart on the stand in court. Whatever part of the theory you half-remember, has been debunked to Infowars employees in the past few weeks.

My favourite parts of the trial -

  1. Learning that infowars scrutinise each bump in product sales to figure out which conspiracies drive sales. The making sure the articles and show cover those topics, to maximise sales. Even when they've acknowledged their facts are wrong in internal emails, they'll keep hyping a topic, for cash.

  2. Learning that Alex sent an internet weirdo to disrupt the classroom teacher's family's memorial run. He also send a cage fighter to record himself harassing victims. Alex bears a huge personal role in their continued suffering.

  3. Learning that Alex as recently as last week called the shooting a "synthetic" hoax, even when he's on trial for the same. He literally is unable to stop himself, because he had the mind of a child

It's not really something people can agree to disagree on. It's not something where you can say "I have my truth and you have yours". It's simply incorrect that Biden is as you describe, and three+ years of insisting it's true just detracts from the right's credibility.

At least, insist upon something where you can have some leeway to claim that it's happening. Anyone can watch Biden's appearances this week, including before the UN general assembly, and see that you're wrong.

Here's the story without your boomer marketing tags. Quite interesting tags there that someone could use to de-anonymise you - because you're a clueless boomer

https://archive.ph/hT7bk

A negotiated deal would not be permanent. The Russian president has a habit of creating “frozen conflicts” on Russia’s borders (in Georgia, for example), not as ends in themselves but because his goal is to “restore the Soviet Union”. Those who choose to talk to the man in the Kremlin are “tricking themselves”, much like the Western leaders who signed an agreement with Adolf Hitler at Munich in 1938 only to watch him invade Czechoslovakia.

Also

Mr Putin “does not understand that in the long war, he will lose. Because it does not matter that 60% or 70% [of Russians] support him. No, his economy will lose.” As Ukraine increases its strikes inside Russia, Russians will start asking awkward questions about their army’s inability to protect them, “because our drones will land”. The Russian president’s authority was weakened by the mutiny in June of Yevgeny Prighozhin

What's your answer to his points boomer dipshit??

Your headline is invented imaginary words that you're putting in zelensky's mouth, it's quite literally a straw man.

Are you so devoid of answers to his points that you have to invent fake straw men to argue against? How pathetic for someone your age to be so low IQ

“Dark” right-wing network recruits MAGA “army” to replace 50K federal workers Trump plans to purge by cunninglingus in politics

Did I say I thought any of that, or are you just projecting?

You said,

If people would just hire the best candidate for jobs and NOT biased bullshit check boxes, anti-checkboxes, political crap, or religious crap..... then this would not happen

So yeah it's exactly what you said.

My point is that - no, it wouldn't stop happening if only all the hires were 100% merit based. Because then, like we see in the link, anyone who doesn't cleave to trump's worldview is dangerous to the 50k lunatics in the OP story.

From what you said, I can infer that the right is just following what the left has been doing for about 4 years now, and that is only hiring who they want

That's not in the link. Source something if you want me to believe it's a real phenomenon.

If the left is so awesome, where are the laws against insider trading?

What does that have to do with anything? We're discussing the OP story.

Did you think insider trading is legal?!

think their own shit doesn't stink

Where did I identify myself with any side of this argument lol? It's a story about trump and the right wing. You can click it and read it yourself, don't just believe me.

When you reply to a story about trump saying "so both sides are bad" and someone corrects you that this is a story about trump - I'm not claiming either side. I'm not saying anyone's shit doesn't stink. I'm simply correcting your false misinformation that this story somehow reflects badly on the democratic party

Okay back on topic.

You said that you think this wouldn't happen, if only all the federal government hires were 100% merit based.

So I want to hear from you: do you truly believe that (after reading the OP link) that if the federal government employees were all merit based, then trump wouldn't be looking to sack everyone and replace them with loyalist.

Actually - do you believe all 50k on the list are merit-based and planned to be in a position suitable for their skills?

Did you think that trump is compiling a list of 50k competent individuals without reference to their political leanings? Is anyone on that list who doesn't support trump, do you think?
