You seem not to understand emails as evidence. There is literally nothing in the emails that is evidence of connection to a pedophile ring. A wholly fabricated substitution cipher has to be applied.
That is not evidence that is just making shit up.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
All that I'm claiming as a certainty is that the emails are evidence of a conspiracy. Numerous people using similar code language in odd contexts is something.
The pedophilia stuff is conjecture based on the most common usage of those terms outside of their normal usage.
You aren't being objective and I'm unsure you know what "certainty" is.
Your own comment betrays itself.
"I'm claiming as a certainty"
vs
"code language in odd contexts is something"
So you are certain that it means something. Wow what a claim. Words mean something.
"pedophilia stuff is conjecture"
Yea, that's why what you are claiming to be evidence isn't and the journalist you critiqued did a far better job of remaining objective than you did.
I AM CERTAIN they're not simply talking about pizza, pasta, maps, dominoes and cheese. No explanation of the common use of those words could answer for the broader context in which they're used in these emails.
Words do mean something, as do legal requirements for conspiracy to commit crimes.
I don't write for BBC and I didn't pretend to be objective about his piece -- my stated intent was to dismantle it.
So what was Podesta and friends talking about in the emails?
"we can pretty much do our own journalism now, and do it more objectively than relying on being spoon fed from folks such as yourself."
That's what makes me think you are espousing being a better and more objective journalist yourself, and why I'm laying into you on being objective. The only thing I'm certain about with this fiasco is that there currently does not exist evidence in the public domain to support the allegations being touted.
Personally if I were to start making wild guesses at what might be a code or what might not be I would bet on drugs. Then again it could literally just be pizza.
