THE POSSESSION OF WEALTH IS IN AND OF ITSELF A SIGN OF POOR VIRTUE. AS SUCH:
1 NEVER TRUST ANY RICH PERSON.
2 NEVER HIRE ANY RICH PERSON.
BY RULE 1, IT IS APPROPRIATE TO PRESUME THAT ALL DEGREES AND CREDENTIALS HELD BY A WEALTHY PERSON ARE FRAUDULENT. THIS JUSTIFIES RULE 2--RULE 1 NEEDS NO JUSTIFIC

exactly, and the thing about the debt being paid at the end (plus other comments) made it seem like he wasn’t impressed.

UPDATE: We have blurred some imagery about 30 seconds into the video in response to a content warning from YouTube that severely limited the reach of this interview. The uncensored version of this interview that aired on television is available at democracynow.org

Stuff like the Norwegian plane thing (and frankly a lot of "OSINT" stuff) isn't actually evidence against the claim in question - it's just "a lack of evidence in support of the claim."

Not detecting a plane/ship/whatever using some OSINT method doesn't actually prove that it wasn't in a location - it's just "a failure to prove that it was."

The plane carrying out the secret operation wasn't on FlightRadar 24/7 so Seymour Hersh is a liar.

yeah might just be me, maybe it was just starting the interview with complaining about people before they get to the substance that annoyed me.

mark complaining about twitter drama will get me to hit that 30 second skip button every time.

Idk, how you could avoid complaining about Twitter when talking about the NGO crowd. That's their natural habitat.

I visited Georgia 20 years ago, kept up on current events there, and have followed her on Twitter for a long time. I thought it was really insightful how the NGO world works in countries like that. Maybe it wasn’t action packed enough for some.

I liked that too and it reminded me of this short piece https://branko2f7.substack.com/p/the-comprador-intelligentsia which touches on some of the same issues, like this NGO class' isolation from the public in the countries they operate in, instead being concerned with pleasing their foreign donors.

Anyone else decide to read Salammbo for this series on Carthage? I'm almost done with it and it's a fun quick read if anyone's on the fence. The characters and story don't get deep but the writing is solid and it's dripping with setting details that really make it interesting.

I increasingly feel like the only reason Seymour Hersh was a hardass in RWN was because of how star-eyed Ames was.

yea i agree. i feel like you need to keep him on a tight leash, even if it turns contentious. i think rania khalek did a good job too tho it had the vibe of a favoured granddaughter being told stories by an old curmudgeon.
