The “allegedly” and “known fact” in your last two sentences are wildly dissonant. It’s a known fact that this is alleged?

- sonicggg 5y agoYes, the suspicion is a "known fact". Openly talked by the CIA, although there is no proof: https://www.politico.com/news/2021/05/10/russia-gru-directed-energy-486640 https://www.politico.com/news/2021/05/10/russia-gru-directed... I don't see a problem with the sentence.
- jessaustin 5y agoThat CIA says it, isn't a reason to believe it.
- sonicggg 5y agoSure, the most powerful intelligence agency in the World has no idea what they are doing. We should instead trust some tinfoil conspiracy from nobodies like you. What else? NASA is lying about the shape of the Earth?
- jessaustin 5y agoDon't get emotional. NASA shows us pictures and publishes scientific data. CIA leaks anonymously to sockpuppet access journalists. Can you really not tell the difference? They claim they lie because it's their job to do so. [0] Actually they lie so that their employers (that's us!) won't be forced to acknowledge how little CIA knows about anything. If CIA actually had "powerful intelligence", they would occasionally be right about something. A month ago they were sure the Afghan government could control Taliban for at least a week. 15 years ago they were sure Osama was actually in Afghanistan. 20 years ago they had no idea he was planning terrorism. 35 years ago they had no idea that Soviet communism was in a weak position. Of course, some CIA reptiles might have known about all of those things. Since they didn't communicate that knowledge to USA elected officials or the USA public, that doesn't really count.
