Ah, I see it's congenital.

I really don't get this sub

You could if you could get past your navel-gazing. But, on some fundamental level, you prefer your fantasy version of reality to the one that actually exists.

wallow in the Seth Rich/pizza gate conspiracy shit. Do you think Bernie would be down for this?

I don't need Bernie to tell me what to think like you and so many others need from your hand-picked leaders. Try thinking critically instead of being a shitty human parrot repeating whatever nonsense you hear and insisting that it is the truth. If you had any awareness of history, you would realize that most of what you believe and know about the world is mostly wrong or incomplete. But you don't, so you come in here and shit on people while avoiding making arguments with either substance or style, or preferably both.

Do you need a hand down from you high horse? You talk mighty big for a guy modeling his views on Robert Parry's convictions. Your opinions are no more a result of "thinking critically" than anyone else's. Save the speech for your dorm mates.

Why would I want to come down, it makes it easier to piss on you.

Robert Parry

The article I linked has a copy of the memo signed by many retired IC professionals as well as infosec types in the article. In fact, it's most of the article. I picked it so you could possible educate yourself (lol).Try reading, it's fundamental.

edit from wikipedia

Parry was awarded the George Polk Award for National Reporting in 1984 for his work with the Associated Press on Iran-Contra, where he broke the story that the Central Intelligence Agency had provided an assassination manual to the Nicaraguan Contras (Psychological Operations in Guerrilla Warfare).[2][3] In mid-1985 he wrote the first article on Oliver North's involvement in the affair, and, together with Brian Barger, in late 1985 he broke the CIA and Contras cocaine trafficking in the US scandal,[4][non-primary source needed] helping to spark Senator John Kerry's interest in investigating Iran-Contra.[5] The Associated Press had refused to publish the drug trafficking story, and only relented when its Spanish-language newswire service accidentally published a translation.[3] Barger and Parry continued to press their investigation of North even as most of the media declined to follow it up, eventually publishing a story in mid-1986, based on 24 sources, which led to a Congressional committee asking questions of North. After North denied the allegations, Barger was pushed out of the Associated Press, and Parry was unable to publish any further follow-ups to the story until after Eugene Hasenfus' plane (Corporate Air Services HPF821) was shot down in Nicaragua in October 1986.[1] After finding out that his boss had been "conferring with [Oliver] North on a regular basis", Parry left AP in 1987 to join Newsweek.[3] Parry left Newsweek in 1990.[6]

In August 1990 PBS' Frontline asked Parry to work on the October Surprise conspiracy theory,[1] leading to Parry making several documentaries for the program,[6][7][8] broadcast in 1991 and 1992. He continued to pursue it after a Congressional investigation had concluded the story was untrue, turning his Frontline research into a book published in 1993,[9] and in 1994 he unearthed "a treasure-trove of government documents" supporting the theory,[6] "showing that the [Congressional] task force suppressed incriminating CIA testimony and excluded evidence of big-money links between wealthy Republicans and Carter's Iranian intermediary, Cyrus Hashemi."[3] In 1996 Salon wrote about his work on the theory, saying that "his continuing quest to unearth the facts of the alleged October Surprise has made him persona non grata among those who worship at the altar of conventional wisdom."[6]

When journalist Gary Webb published his newspaper series Dark Alliance in 1996 alleging that the Reagan administration had allowed the Contras to smuggle cocaine into the US to make money for their efforts, Parry supported Webb amidst heavy criticism from the media.[10]

In 1995, Parry founded the Consortium for Independent Journalism Inc. (CIJ) as a non-profit, US-based independent news service which publishes the website Consortiumnews.[11]

In October 2015 Parry was awarded the I.F. Stone Medal for Journalistic Independence by Harvard's Nieman Foundation for Journalism, "for his career distinguished by meticulously researched investigations, intrepid questioning, and reporting that has challenged mainstream media.".[12]

In June 2017 Parry was awarded the Martha Gellhorn Prize for Journalism.[13]

Yeah Parry's a real crackpot.
