The supposed “majority population” has no authority to invite a foreign occupation. Sorry. Besides, the “majority” didn’t have a vote and say “Come help us Russians!” so saying they invited anyone in is completely pulled from your/Russia’s ass.
Also considering the fact that the current PM of Crimea was the head of a political party that failed to get even 5% in the last regional elections I strongly question how much support it has regardless of that joke of a referendum that reminded me of elections under Hafez Assad.
None can show a cite where Justin Raimondo wrote ‘TRUTHER’ material claiming the WTC was taken down by anyone other than the terrorists that actually flew hijacked airliners into it?
The power/authority granted to the central government in Kiev by the constitution was dissolved when Yanukovich was forced out. The Crimean leadership seized authority in Crimea immediately following Yanukovich’s removal from office in Kiev. The Crimean leaders became the new authority and could invite whomever they wanted to help them secure a separate government from Ukraine.
Not even tomndebb can come up with a cite where Justin Raimondo wrote ‘TRUTHER’ material claiming the WTC was taken down by anyone other than the terrorists that actually flew hijacked airliners into it?
This is a flagrant straw man that I can only perceive as a deliberate attempt to derail the thread with nonsense.
No one has stated that Raimondo was “claiming the WTC was taken down by anyone other than the terrorists that actually flew hijacked airliners into it.” They have noted that he is a Truther–someone who believes that the “official” story is bogus. There are many varieties of Truther and one need not believe in controlled demolitions or disappearing aircraft to be a Truther. His claim is that the terrorists could not have acted alone and he speculates that it was Israel that helped them.
That Raimondo is a Truther is self-evident in this link, already provided:
The cite you say was already given does not support the claim that Justin Raimondo is a Truther. It says this:
Justin Raimondo wrote on March 22, 2002, “We won’t know for sure, of course, until a thorough investigation is undertaken.”
does anyone read things in full and proper context around here?
or or or or or
{{{{{{ 1.The Israelis knew, but didn’t tell us, and Cameron’s surmise
is confirmed, or: 2.The Israelis knew and did tell us, but the incompetence of the US government got in the way of effective preventive action.}}}}
Does anyone know what “Cameron’s surmise” means?
Is it being a 9/11 truther if one speculates that Israeli spies did tell us, but the incompetence of the US government got in the way of effective preventive action?
Truther Noun- One who rejects the accepted explanation of the events of 9/11. Truthers generally believe the U.S. government committed the acts of terrorism against itself.
So provide the cite where Justin Reimondo believes the US government committed the acts of terrorism against itself.
Would you like a Warning for threadshitting?
Read definitions 2, 6, and 7, (all taken from the Urban Dictionary). One does not need to believe the U.S. government was behind the WTC/Pentagon attacks to be a Truther. One need only believe that the government is lying about how it happened.
You do not get to selectively pick and choose the definitions you use unless you are the first to use a word–and even then there are constraints on using idiolect.
Fact and reason check for tomndebb’s argument starts with context within a specific very short period of time.
2. Truther Is one who rejects the official explanation provided for September 11, 2001.
Truther Noun- One who rejects the accepted explanation of the events of 9/11.
John Mace accuses Justin Raimondo of being a 9/11 Truther by citing something Justin Raimondo wrote on*** March 22 2002.***
Do you see the problem there?
In regards to the events of 9/11, what was the **accepted explanation **on March 22 2002 when Justin Raimondo wrote what John Mace has cited?
On March 22 of 2002 when Justin Raimondo wrote what John Mace has cited, what was the ***official explanation ***provided for the attacks on September 11, 2001?
There was no official explanation of what happened when Justin Raimondo wrote what John Mace has cited was there?
According to Tomndebb, the following makes Justin Raimondo a 9/11 Truther:
But from that same commentary JR explains:
What JR says he wants to know is this: “does Fox News stand by Carl Cameron’s reporting on the question of Israeli foreknowledge of the 9/11 terrorist attacks? Yes – or no?”
What is wrong with asking Fox News to stand by its reporters and reports?
You have yet to provide a cite where Justin Raimondo states that the US government committed the 9/11 acts of terrorism against itself or that Israeli agents knew about it in advance but did not tell the US Government that they were about to commit acts of terrorism against themselves.

I certainly can’t trust an opinion from someone who can’t cite what he claims to have been stated.
