    US Warned of Russian 'False Flag' Ukraine operation

    Let's lay the CT out in a little more detail. 1) Assumption: Ukraine would like to end the Donbass conflict with force. 1a) This is plausible because the Minsk process has stalled. 1b) They don't do it because fighting an ethnic minority with military looks bad. 1c) They don't do it because...

    Havana Syndrome: "Sonic Attacks" at the US Embassy in Cuba - Mass Hysteria?

    I recommend going back a few months to this post and the one after it, and studying the JASON report. There are some real neurological symptoms, but due to a lack of a baseline, it's impossible to say that they were caused by the "sonic attacks". Apparently there's no sensor evidence at all.

    US Warned of Russian 'False Flag' Ukraine operation

    My theory is conspirational, because there's no evidence for it, and because it assumes that the claimed intelligence about the false flag plans is false, i.e. "the government is lying to us". I'm also pretty confident that the claims about these plans are unverifiable, whether they're true or...

    US Warned of Russian 'False Flag' Ukraine operation

    . It was only about two or three weeks ago that the Ukrainian government started to make very explicit statements that invasion is not really imminent, that we have been under Russian threat since 2014 and we’re used to this, and that according to their intelligence, this threat isn’t greater...

    The Steven Greenstreet UFO ...

    observation of a repetition is that basically all pictures of UFOs are fuzzy, in the "low information zone", where the sensor capabilities are not enough to identify it. pictures where the object is clearly identifiable are never of alien spacecraft. the implication is that the unidentifiable...

    Havana Syndrome: "Sonic Attacks" at the US Embassy in Cuba - Mass Hysteria?

    I think the "information gap" language means that they don't know how to practically do it. And that means they really don't know if it's possible. If we knew it's possible, we'd still need to find proof that someone actually did it.

    Havana Syndrome: "Sonic Attacks" at the US Embassy in Cuba - Mass Hysteria?

    Note the euphemism "information gap" for the absence of an actual complete working explanation. They're speculating. Pulsed electromagnetic energy, particularly in the radiofrequency range, plausibly explains the core characteristics, although information gaps exist. There are several plausible...

    US Warned of Russian 'False Flag' Ukraine operation

    I don't really see the similarity. There's no claim that Ukrainians would start attacking Russian infrastructure. The claim is that the false flag operation is to show Ukrainians attacking military targets in the seceded part of Ukraine, which has happened before. Obviously the US have also...

    * this is shaky (why?) 2nd generation footage * from a wide angle lens that distorts sizes * where is the footage taken by the guy on the balcony below?

    The Steven Greenstreet UFO ...

    Yes, but that's not what happens here, or what folly4 is on about. All of these events do match what's probable. Looking at an observation and showing that it's not evidence of something unusual is debunking. If we ignored or "discarded" unusual events, I agree that would be a problem; but...

    US Warned of Russian 'False Flag' Ukraine operation

    What if this is a "flag" operation? My theory is that Ukraine has asked the US and the UK for help in re-taking the rebel areas. These countries are preparing for war in Ukraine, they've pulled their personnel out, etc. They'll start the attack with "operatives trained in urban warfare and...

    Did Skepticalscience Lie about one of the studies they reviewed in their consensus survey?

    No. I think what may have happened was that Dana Nuccitelli saw Shaviv's comment, and interpreted it to say "I wrote my abstract to make it appear I endorse AGW". Nuccitelli then thinks, "that's why we classified it as endorsement", and writes that paragraph, which is a minor point on that...

    Did Skepticalscience Lie about one of the studies they reviewed in their consensus survey?

    so there aren't actually any observations or reasoning behind your confidence, it's just your opinion. My point is that if you do check [the abstract], it's obvious that the study was misclassified, and if you see that it was misclassified, you ought to no longer write this: Nir Shaviv took the...

    you haven't provided constructive input and it's both insulting, ignorant and disrespectful to say I won't consider someone else's input when I just wrote that I looked up what Fox (Americans!) think the swing states were, and how that would affect the graph. you're not using facts to debate...

    Did Skepticalscience Lie about one of the studies they reviewed in their consensus survey?

    It's a team effort. That article was written by Dana Nuccitelli. He's also a co-author on the "Quantifying the consensus" paper. My point is that he doesn't seem to have looked at the abstract when he wrote that rebuttal. Updated on 2014-05-05 by dana1981. dana1981 Dana Nuccitelli is an...
