Pepe Escobar
@RealPepeEscobar
VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE

I now have TWO separate, definitive confirmations from TWO ultra high level intel sources from TWO separate Asian nations. Working to get a third - at least a partial acknowledgment.

I moved to Asia 30 years ago. Built a unparalleled network. Trust my top sources a billion per cent.

The original source that led to my first post reconfirmed he stands by it. His words:

"I'm honestly surprised that people are surprised. Do they really think if something like this happened it's gonna be presented to them in front of their TVs? It's like history has taught them nothing."

Working on a first column - probably out tomorrow.

Many thanks to all who offered informed, sharp comment and criticism. This should be a collective effort to get to what might have happened: the shape of it, not necessarily the details as they were leaked.

...no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.

Simplicius posted on it, being very sceptical

Simplicius had a thread on it.

Is this supposed to have happened at the same time the US randomly bombed that air base in Iraq and then loudly denied it for a news cycle? That would be slightly interesting if so as that could easily have been a "Look over there! A rabbit" move.

Larry J still doesn't buy it: Did Israel Plan to Nuke Iran? (Nap)

From his sources this is nonsense. @ about 29:50. He reckons Pepe hasn't got good sources.

Anyway, we wait for tomorrow and see what Pepe publishes.

Ritter also holds his line (Nap)

He is also waiting for Pepe's piece, and does not believe it is technically viable. @ approx 11:12 fwiw.

More info, no idea on the sit but seems a reasonable summary

I always took Pepe as a " Broad strokes" kind guy...

- not hot on detail, but useful for getting an overall grasp of what's going on.

If he's wrong on this and being "played": and I kinda think he's at least partially wrong, it won't really discredit him on the broader pattern he outlines.

You mean you ever read him?

When did you twig he has no independent intellect?

I remember, a while ago, a video of a zoom meeting between Escobar, Martyanov, Ritter and someone else, I just fast-forwarded through Escobar. You know what he is going to say in exactly the same way you do with Andrew Marr.

RhG loved him.

The AltWorld website is fine ..

I use it as one of my references. It's an aggregator-type of site and references original website address where article/s first appears. Korybko is Russian American analyst from memory. I like some of his output on global south countries. His conjectures in this piece are somewhat complicated but I would imagine he is familiar with different factions in Russia. Still, let's wait for Pepe's mea culpa or whatever.

This debate is made for social media - there are no actual hard facts. Nm
