The standard online reader needs to delve more thoroughly

There’s a very great problem for any citizen reader online that we are at different stages of “rabbitholing” … that is that one reader will be far more au fait with who’s who than another … and yet both report or pontificate online.

There’s no resolution to this as who becomes the arbiter in deciding “merit”? For example:

“Dramatic night as Saudi sources now claims Iranian intel ship Zagros (SIGINT) was sunk by U.S. forces at the same time the IDF conducts wide-ranging strikes in Gaza after Israel discovers Hamas was plotting another major Oct 7 style attack. Gaza ceasefire officially over, according to the Prime Minister’s office. Reuters is also reporting ballistic missile movement at IRGC bases in Iran. There were also reports from Yemen (video) that several senior IRGC members were eliminated in US attacks on Houthi targets.”

That report comes from Emily Schrader, whose X bio looks like this:

Look at ivolin:

Emily is on the exec council. Is that bad in itself? I’d argue no, in the same way a writer for RT is clearly pro-Russian, an Imam is clearly pro their religion, in the same way that Christine Easdale is clearly pro Britain and has called out Farage on his and Yusuf’s behaviour towards Rupert Lowe. Christine Anderson is clearly pro Germany.

In fact, I trust people more who are openly, upfront supporters of a particular side … I mean, one knows what is and what is not … what we can expect.

And from the language used, even mine in the “Emily paragraph” above, a mildly investigative mind can work out quickly the stance on various issues. But there’s also the question of good or poor intel. If Laura Loomer comes out with:

The Judge has a daughter named Katherine Boasberg, who works for a 501(c)(3) organization called Partners for Justice @PFJ_USA as a “capacity building associate". In her position, she helps coordinate and administer grant activities, ensuring compliance, and supporting the delivery of capacity-building programs to strengthen nonprofit infrastructure.

… how good is her intel? And also, that activist judge calling for terrorists to turn around, mid flight, and fly back to the US … whom does he work for, who pays him?  As for me, I’m neither Jewish nor deathcult but I do sympathise with the ordinary people of Iran, of the Ukraine, of Britain, the US, wherever … France. Israel. Rwanda. From a Brit-eye view, with much US coverage as well.

The point of this post?  Asking readers to please explore thoroughly before opining in print … esp. when govt stasi are combing through online posts, tweets etc., to see whom they can swat and waste taxpayer money on more profligatorily (latest invented word).
