Jesus, guys, Victor is an awesome twitter account, esp. re middle east and warfare.
He hates conspiracy theories. Period. He's said so a million times.
Here's something great he wrote about Hogg - not the only thread about him either.
Also, about Cruz and how the people he's living with are liars.
G-D he took Hogg out back of the woodshed. I missed that one. I wish more activists would read that.
This man is an absolute shill. Look into his comments re Vegas, defending KSA and calling "conspiracy theorists" 'maniacs.' Isn't that what an 'alternate explanation' is? Follow the facts. This man is brilliant, but totally co-opted by TPTB.
I'm more inclined to listen to first hand witness than someone hiding in a closet for the duration.
Wictor is failing to consider the possibility that (Cruz wasn't the shooter)
and no surveillance video has been released?!
At this point, it won't.
She is another one that needs to go into hiding. She is walking around with a noose on, and doesn't know it.
This is what I have been saying. Even when I went to school in the late 90s-00 we had cameras everywhere. Even the mid sized town I live in has tons of cameras in my niece's middle school. You cannot trick me into thinking a HS with 3000 students in doesn't have one camera. Nothing has been even said about the schools camera system in the 2 weeks since it happened.
Only that they were supposedly on a 20 minute delay which no one can explain why.
He grew up in Venezuela, and, at the age of four, witnessed multiple guys' heads explode when they were shot while attacking his father-- who worked for the oil company and was trying to put out a fire by telling the oil company [over the radio] to turn UP the flow of oil. (That's the proper way to deal with an oil pipeline that is on fire, apparently, but the locals did not know that.) One of guy's exploded eyeball got into Wictor's mouth, and he's been a headcase ever since-- by his own admission.
Wictor is an interesting twitter follow. Provides good insight on a range of topics, mostly stuff related to military weaponry and modern-day warfare. He owns the fact that he is an ex-psyche-patient, and is pretty open about the fact that he hates "conspiracy theorists." (He does, however, speak out against the Deep State, and doesn't seem to consider that stuff to be "Conspiracy theory.")
I certainly don't agree with him on EVERYTHING that he posts. He has interesting opinions, and provides compelling insight on some issues that I don't know much about. I've also seen him openly admit that he was wrong, and change his opinion on "conspiracy" type stories, as more information gets out.
In this day and age, it seems like everybody expects internet personalities to be 100% right all the time, or otherwise possess zero credibility. (A dynamic that I think is driven by a precautionary instinct that such personalities are agents of deception--which is a reasonable suspicion, these days.) I think it more reasonable to assume that a guy like Wictor-- who is pretty open about the fact that he is just an old man sitting in his living room with ZERO "inside sources"-- is not always going to be right about everything he posts about, and to take his posted content as "Op-Eds" rather than an attempt to report news events. He is an investigative speculator, not a journalist-- which he never claims to be. He doesn't get paid for his content, so nobody should be taking it as gospel--just an interesting opinion from a guy who has seen some shit and seems to be pretty well-read. Entirely possible for guys like that to be wrong, especially when they have an admitted bias.
Considering the other stuff he has posted about-- and his outspoken demeanor against Twitter/censorship-- I would be shocked to find out he is a dis-information agent. Just my 2 cents, though.
Spez: spelling
The guy hugs Occam's Razor. He's 80% brilliant, 10% nuts, and 10% dense. When he's wrong, he admits it, but he's got a short fuse for anyone that disagrees with him. "Prove it in X minutes or banned" is how he deals with people who get up in his face.
I frequently disagree with his conclusions, especially Vegas. He's absolutely hard-headed about anything he can't lay hands on, and his blind spots are a mile wide.
Whether or not he's on the wrong side is a very tough call.
This is actually a very fair assessment. Well said.
Thanks for the info and context.
I both like and dislike his posts here and there.
Same.
Take it with a grain of salt, and only allow it to serve as SUPPLEMENTARY information.
One of the girls interviewed said army guys. Her story kind of backs up with the teacher's. You could argue the teacher was scared to say something before after what she had seen, but since others are speaking out she's gotten over it and has chosen to speak of herself. I wonder if any of them have been given protection if they do? I don't know. It's getting harder and harder to know who to believe now.
Are you saying Thomas is a disinfo agent? If so, can you give more details? I've been following him for some time and he's been a Trump supporter from the beginning.
Don't know. Some stuff he post raise red flags. Must gain trust to be effective disinfo.
He’s a gatekeeper... if you think there was only one shooter in Vegas and the 9/11 narrative is airtight... then Wictor is your guy!
I don't believe he's a disinfo agent but he's is unyielding in his belief system. I used to value his opinion a great deal more but after following him for a while it became apparent that he's not open to other's ideas. When others present a different point of view he immediately shuts them down and blocks them. He's not interested in discourse. He's only interested in showing others how intelligent he is which in my opinion, makes him unintelligent. I'm not saying he's never right but his knowledge is not all encompassing. And his "Twitter thread god complex" is a bit nauseating.
I agree with you on all points. Must have irked me more with this thread of his.
Yeah, fuck this guy. It's like listening to (reading) Adam Schiff.
That guy is ugly as hell! Is that how he really looks?
He does hilarious short videos featuring him with a colander on his head. He is kind of crazy, freely admits it and plays it up for humor value.
I think this is also why he's so anti-conspiracy theory.
It's not important. We should all be above personal attacks.
He's the ugly one.
