- pjc50 6y agoCraig Murray is a crank. He's a former ambassador, and he's also right about quite a lot of things, but he's also got the fundamental problem of seeing enemies everywhere. Bellingcat, for example, is just another blogger, although doing "OSINT" to, for example, locate the BUK launcher likely used in the shooting down of MH17, and with various claims as to the involvment of GRU officers in poisonings such as Salisbury and Navalny. 77th Brigade is a British Army propaganda unit. "Integrity Initiative" are widely suspected to be such.
- auggierose 6y agoAs a former ambassador, he probably knows that enemies ARE everywhere.
- pessimizer 6y ago> Bellingcat, for example, is just another blogger This is a weirder take than any of Craig Murray's.

- zadkey 6y agoClaims should be evaluated individually based on their merits. Overly broad labels such as conspiracy theorist prohibit meaningful discussion of the merits or demerits of the individual theories and are in general a cognitive shortcut that people use to give themselves the excuse to casually discredit and disregard what someone says without meaningfully getting to know the character or claims of the individual. More concisely, it is a term used to promote intellectual laziness over due diligence of investigation.
