Because Craig Murray's position is always aligned with Kremlin's official position.

because Elliot Higgins is an Atlantic Council puppet who gets his intel from UK spooks for strategic disemination, and responds to anyone who challenges him with "suck my balls". The guy is a information-terrorist and I hope the Russians slip him something into his tea one day.

Because it is. It's just some finance guy in his drawers making shit up over videos shot halfway across the world. Read up on this guy. One glance at his fat pasty face, and it's obvious that he's never been anywhere near a war zone: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eliot_Higgins https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eliot_Higgins edit: and since DyslexicAtheist has been grayed out, I will second his "hope the Russians slip him something into his tea one day." to r721: for warmongers, yes.

    Interesting how you go for my value system, rather than provide additional information which might make Elliot Higgins look a little less like the inexperienced, uncredentialed, paid bullshit operator that he is.
