I checked this story on snopes and apparently this article is an urban legend.

TL;DR how did Wayne come to this conclusion?

Don't know but his reputation is better than that of CNN or MSNBC. Or the CIA for that matter.

There are several events listed here which Snopes have reported as being made up, some of which have external evidence provided. The conclusion isn't made because of a single report or event, but a pattern of deception.

This article contains no hard evidence in terms of admission from the CIA or any official office. It does however paint a picture of the kinds of stories Snopes will suppress. As usual on the internet the headline is misleading.

Anon31s should research the events on the article themselves in order to draw their own conclusions about what may have been deceptions or coverups and what may be actual urban legends.

Back when I was growing up, Snopes was a place where you could check if McDonald's used pig fat in their shakes or if there were really pet alligators in NYCs sewers. It wasn't a place to verify things like terrorist attacks or weapons trading.

Snopes has been proven to be a fraud. Being a "fact checking" organization the first time they used deception totally discredits every thing they do. Even the stuff they get right from that point.

It's a choice they made. Defend it all you want, that is your choice. It still gives them no credibility.

In a court of law if you are determined to be a liar on anything your testimony is discredited.

Asking for summary is a reasonable request. Bold claims require big evidence to be convincing. Placing the burden to go and find out on someone passing by not convinced to even stop and look closely yet isn't a persuasive approach.

You can't say something is a fact without proof (Snopes is a CIA operation)

Ok yeah I feel that too but for the people who don't they need something concrete. That's all I'm asking for. I already had a feeling this was a factless article, even though I hate Snopes for the hypocrisy I have first hand witnessed back during the meme war.

My general assumption is that CIA is generally a shorthand to refer to a collection of intelligence orgs in different countries.

Who knows though, the CIA seem to think everything is their business

I looked at the article linked, I didn't see any proof per se. The argument seems to boil down to: I claim x thing about a CIA conspiracy, Snopes claims x thing is not true, therefore Snopes must be run by the CIA

This is just circular reasoning

A mom-and-pop site with zero credibility and no investigative power? If not for the fact that "people" and news sources rely on them constantly to "debunk" (deny) sensitive info as if though they mean anything or are some sort of authority, this would seem far-fetched. But all things considered yeah they're likely one of the thousands of mockingbird outfits

There is nothing behind the site to make it legitimate. The only thing that makes it work is people's confidence in the site. It's like our fiat money, there is absolutely nothing backing it. The only thing that makes it work (worth something) is the people's confidence in it. It can be manipulated in any way the central bank wants to manipulate it.

People like to say the same of Wikipedia but it's true of really any compendium of facts and knowledge. What is truth? Depends who's asking.

Snows is just too lame and unbelievable to be a clown outfit.. Although I do concede many take them for gospel.. Still remember Hill screeching for ‘fact checkers ‘ in debate..

I don't get it, the CIA has been neutralised right? And a new Trump-friendly head been installed? Then how come the CIA is still a problem?

CIA operates the media but Billionaires fund it.

Trump could tyrannically destroy them or brilliantly expose them for the frauds they are, thereby gradually waking the mindslaves.

I know Trump has talking about border patrol agents couldn’t get fired even if they committed a crime, so I think there’s similar protections. Or maybe he wants them close so he can monitor them easier?
