That seems to be a two-way street here?
To denigrate and dismiss Kim Dotcom as an "All-round conspiracy boy" takes class. He probably is on Russia's payroll too...
So far, I've caught the west spewing more propaganda than the east. You can start with censoring RT from the gitgo. Why?
That act speaks volumes.
Then there are the rest of social media - who like the hammer boys we now know is in bed with the government, who even has a 'portal' into those media sites to ban ANYONE who poses a viewpoint that doesn't fit the west's narrative: "Putin is bad man".
We could just post western propaganda if that's what you desire?
I figure posting the east's 'propaganda' is a counterbalance to the censorship we're already blessed with by our own government. In that way, folks can make up their own minds about what constitutes truth? A novel concept I'm sure for many since they never had that choice to begin with.
I've given my interpretation. Sadly, it's not peer reviewed. It's more of a 'seat-of-the-pants' in the trenches, "I see smoke, assume there's fire" common sense viewpoint. An anecdotal survival-of-the-fittest common man's approach to reality. It's what got the pioneers across the Great Plains to make this country what it is today (before it was commandeered elsewise).
Word of advice to the naysayers here: Whenever someone says 'Conspiracy theorist'? That's the time you shuck off those mental chains and start digging deeper into what they obviously do NOT want you to know - then make up your own mind.

It was the rhetoric coming from Russia since the start of the invasion.
I posted a tweet from Julia not too long ago (feel free to search back through my posts) where it was repeated (and lamented) on a Russian talk show.
Just saw this - skimmed too fast the first time. lol. I'd rather no propaganda at all be posted. Post facts if you can find them. Post your own thoughts if you want discussion. That's my ideal.
I would really like to see any evidence to prove your belief that:
"Russia thought they were going to march in and take over the country in 3 days. They weren't trying to destroy infrastructure at start because they didn't expect the resistance they faced."

Arron was a wakeup call for me when Freedom to Fascism came out. Looking back on it now, he barely scratched the surface.Aaron Russo was right. America - From Freedom to Fascism. And they killed him for it.
That term might be the single most brilliant thing the Clowns ever did.
So the President of Belarus' rhetoric serves as fact regarding "Russia's" thought process/strategy? I thought Russsian media was always lies, but in this case it is fact worth repeating and serving as the foundation of a whole string of conclusions? Cmon man - you said you were "on the side of facts" guy.
Can't have it both ways....

You and @Voodoo both were quick to point out the author's bias (yeah, it's obvious), but left the ad hominems hanging without addressing the fact that the report at the heart of the issue claims the hacks were discovered in July and the explosion happened in September and there is no basis for "It's Done" claim except for Kim's wink-wink-nudge-nudge "it wasn't even a statement - just a question" tweet. That tweet, without even asserting that "It's done" actually happened, has become fodder for heaps of BS. That's how propaganda works.
Fellas, the 3 days rhetoric has been coming from Russia since the beginning. I took some time to search for a time dated early example and you lot jump my shit because it wasn't good enough for you. Have a look around for yourself. It's not like I made this shit up. The folks on Russian media are still claiming today that Russia thought they were going to roll in for a quick victory.
I read lots of stuff back in February about the military tactics, supply lines and such when the invasion happened (all indicating that Russia wasn't planning for or playing longball), but that was 8 months ago and I didn't save bookmarks to any of it in anticipation of satisfying your curiosity.
Inspectors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have completed their in-field verification activities at three locations in Ukraine at the request of the Government of Ukraine, Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said today.
Ukraine’s written requests for the IAEA to send teams of inspectors were issued after the Russian Federation made allegations about activities at the three locations – the Institute for Nuclear Research in Kyiv, Eastern Mining and Processing Plant in Zhovti Kody, and Production Association Pivdennyi Machine-Building Plant in Dnipro.
Over the past few days, the inspectors were able to carry out all activities that the IAEA had planned to conduct and were given unfettered access to the locations. Based on the evaluation of the results available to date and the information provided by Ukraine, the Agency did not find any indications of undeclared nuclear activities and materials at the locations.
The inspectors also collected environmental samples for analysis at the IAEA’s safeguards laboratories and its network of analytical laboratories. Environmental sampling is a commonly used safeguards measure with ultrasensitive analytical techniques that can provide information about past and current activities related to the handling of nuclear materials.
“Upon the request of the Government of Ukraine, I immediately dispatched inspectors to the three locations to carry out their indispensable technical and independent role in verifying the facts on the ground. Within days, they went there and conducted their safeguards activities, in challenging circumstances during the current conflict in Ukraine,” Director General Grossi said.
“Our technical and scientific evaluation of the results we have so far did not show any sign of undeclared nuclear activities and materials at these three locations. Additionally, we will report on the results of the environmental sampling as soon as possible,” he said.
Director General Grossi stressed that the IAEA remained ready to conduct further such verification activities in Ukraine to verify the absence of undeclared activities and materials and thereby deter any misuse of such materials.
You made the point. The "3 days" was rhetoric, not facts, noone, other thatn Putin, knows what Putin was thinking. I thought repeating rhtoric was to be eschewed, we were admonished to just focus on facts instead of flinging shit if I read the posts correctlyFellas, the 3 days rhetoric has been coming from Russia since the beginning.

Russian troops are running short on supplies because over-optimistic commanders expected to seize Ukraine in three days, sources in Ukraine are reporting.
A news alert from Russian newspaper Pravda, citing a report from the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) read: "Putin expected to seize Ukraine in three days. This is the supply of provisions he distributed to his soldiers."
Earlier reports said President Putin had allowed five days to defeat Ukraine. The invasion took place six days ago (Thursday, February 24).

Facing two lawsuits in New Jersey and dozens of others across the country accusing him of fraud, former Fox News host Clayton Morris has moved out of the country.
His wife, Natali Morris, posted on her website that the couple has moved to Portugal amid fraud allegations that have led to media coverage and a host of legal issues.
"I am not one of those who rejects America," she wrote. "We had a good life there. But my husband and I have had a hard few years in our business and this collective soul challenge forced us to question everything."
Natali Morris told NJ Advance Media in an email this week that the family is moving to Portugal on temporary visas to allow their children to attend schools overseas. After moving out of New Jersey earlier this year, they initially established permanent residency in Pennsylvania, she said.
No criminal charges have been filed against the former “Fox & Friends” co-host, but Clayton Morris is facing more than two dozen lawsuits from around the country that allege he organized a scheme to defraud customers for his own financial gain by selling them Indiana rental properties with the promise to rehab and rent them, but failing to do so.
...
Former Fox & Friends host Clayton Morris is suing an Ohio man for $7 million for using his name and likeness in online videos critical of real estate deals Morris facilitated in Indianapolis and selling shirts that say, “I Bought This t-shirt Because They Don’t Make CLAYTON MORRIS toilet paper.”
The lawsuit filed in federal court in Ohio alleges James Wise has traded on Morris' name and likeness "and invaded his privacy to do so.” Specifically, it accuses Wise of copyright and trademark infringement, misappropriation of Morris’ name, likeness, and voice, violations of Morris’ right of privacy, unfair competition and illegal wiretapping.
...
In documents filed in the case, attorneys for Morris claim Wise has damaged the reputation Morris built in 18 years as a journalist, including stints hosting Fox & Friends and Good Day Philadelphia, and in subsequent work sharing his experience as a real estate investor "in order to educate and inspire others to succeed in management of their own portfolios."
...
“It is, frankly, astonishing that (Morris) is attempting to use this litigation to shift blame to Defendants for his own bad reputation when he is the subject of the highly publicized lawsuits and criminal actions brought on by his own conduct,” the attorney wrote. “Defendants are not to blame for the negative publicity, which preceded any contact between (Wise) and (Morris).”
The lawsuit was filed after Wise created and posted a three-hour "documentary" detailing investor complaints about Morris. He also created and posted a shorter video as part of a “Landlords from Hell” series. It is titled “Is Clayton Morris A Fraud.”
...
Former "Fox & Friends Weekend" host Clayton Morris and his Indianapolis business partner Bert Whalen are accused by Attorney General Curtis Hill of violating Indiana's deceptive sales and home loan acts in real estate deals involving more than 150 properties in Marion County.
Morris and Whalen deceived real estate investors about the services offered and then tried to hide their actions through numerous other deceptive acts, according to the civil complaint filed May 1 in Marion Superior Court.
...
Specifically, the complaints allege that Morris, Whalen and a number of their affiliated businesses and associates violated the Deceptive Consumer Sales Act, the Business Opportunity Transactions Act and the Home Loan Practices Act.
...
Morris and Whalen also are facing a number of federal and state lawsuits in connection with the home sales.
In addition, Whalen faces federal charges of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud in New Jersey, where he has pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial.

It's fascinating how you shoot the messenger. Always your first go-to.Clayton Morris is a apparently a really righteous dude. Commits numerous counts of fraud and then flees the country. Getting sued by state and federal governments.

Also, you et al do the same thing. If something doesn't fit your worldview, it's MSM CIA NWO reptilian alien liars and case closed without addressing anything of substance.
