    Ah yes, let’s believe the very reliable CIA and their informants about threats against the CIA. They’ve proven themselves so trustworthy in the past.

    • Russia literally attempted to assassinate a man and his daughter in Salisbury, UK.

      This is their MO, just like the song “It’s raining men!” Isn’t a celebration in Moscow, it’s a warning to take cover.

      While the ultimate source is probably the CIA, this is the Jerusalem Post reporting about an upcoming book by an academic historian—so it’s presumably been vetted by a few other parties.

        The term “vetted” is doing a lot of heavy work there. “Laundered” would be far more accurate in this context of imperialist invention of reality or consent manufacturing.

        this is the Jerusalem Post reporting

        it’s presumably been vetted

        Vetted it probably has been, as for it being vetted for truthfulness…
