It is truly a shame that you are being downvoted, presumably by Americans too terrified of their own shame for participating in the acts you've described. But the truth survives downvotes. HN is probably not (yet) the right audience for these kinds of truth - but no matter the discouragement, please continue to seek the truth about Americas involvement in these heinous, disgusting human rights abuses. Yemen is a disa…

Most of the discussion oriented places is mostly US (or west) centered, any kind of thoughts or idea that is against it will not be favored and for sure will be discouraged as well by any means (downvoting, labeling, banning, etc...)

The right Audience for such message that can digest are minority.

I would say, don't count on having any kind of support from such places (HN, reddit, facebook, twitter, Quora etc). US has the media and already online media too.

Keep pushing <3

I'm not American, and I downvoted because it's easy to conflate things which were clearly wrong (WMD) and things for which there is plenty of open source intel showing are correct (North Korea Sony hack).

It's just too easy to do this.

It says they had to find out from the FBI. At least theoretically, how does the FBI find out? (unless someone knows the actuality and is willing to share? Didn't see anything in the article)

The FBI finds out from the NSA.

Gotta have deniability for the NSA. Given that it's a military agency, with ~no overt domestic role.

To be fair, conceptually the concept of a CEO of a security company with no social media presence at all is not surprising, speaking from my experience with people in this field.

This is often overlooked. If your kid wants to work in security it will be hard to get a job if his/her info and history can be found on social media.

Nope, sorry, this isn't accurate at all.

The evidence that points to Iran comes from a company named, Resecurity. But there are some odd stuff about this company. 1 - their CEO has no real linkedIn history [1] 2 - they revenue and employment went off the chart just in 2 quarters [2] 3 - very unclear how they came to this assessment. Especially now that US government is looking for excuses (real or fabricated) to make a case for war with Iran, I look at thes…

You're downvoted, because you seem to be whitewashing a few things - from Assad, to Soviets in Afghanistan, in your quest to paint USA blacker. You tell us to take intelligence community with a grain of salt, and then speculate about Kashoggi - where most information comes from Turkey's intelligence aparatus. Also socialists are also funded and armed by USA (see SDF in Syria). Also this guy (armed by USA) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nouri_al-Maliki is a Shia.

I mean, yes, USA foreing policy is a mess. But we should still be bothered by facts.

Is there any risk you take by posting that?

That is a page that I doubt the author would have wanted to be public, and is not linked to from the home page or its descendants. Wasn't that the case against weev?

(IMO, if it is public, it should be legal to post to it, but whatever.)

That's a very odd thing to say. There are so many security professionals in the world with LinkedIn profiles.

Given the history of states to lie and manipulate to get into war, and since the USA proved to be particularly ok with it during the last decades, I'd say being cynical should be the default mode for this kind of analysis. If you are wrong, you are being over protective about peace, so what ?

Assad is using chemical weapons against his own people. It was determined by OPCW. You can read full reports of the two well publicized attacks here: https://www.opcw.org/fileadmin/OPCW/Fact_Finding_Mission/s-1... https://www.opcw.org/sites/default/files/documents/2019/03/s... But there were many more. So please don't spread unsubstantiated falsehoods and doubt.

These reports make no such conclusion - that the Syrian government was responsible for the attack.

They do confirm that chemical weapons were used. Who used them, is not determined, and even the reports themselves state that the provenance of the chemicals is out of scope of the FFM.

It states that Sarin and chlorine-based weapons were used - but the FFM was not able to visit the site directly and relied on samples collected by third parties and provided to the FFM for the purposes of their investigation. The only conclusion is: chemical weapons were used.

It does not, in any way, state that the Syrian government were responsible for the attack.

Indeed, the Syrian government themselves requested this mission proceed to determine the use of these chemical weapons - why would they do that if they knew they'd used the chemical weapons?

>But there were many more. So please don't spread unsubstantiated falsehoods and doubt.

If you have further evidence that supports the claim that the Syrian government used these weapons, please provide it. Thus far, you have failed to apply your own demand for evidence.
