Also, that document was first archived in August 2013, not 2006, not 2001

So please don't try to refer me to ancient shit that could have been altered over many years...

I'll stop referring to sources that could have been altered, when you start providing specifics about who you think deleted what and why?

Did you miss the mass erase of online data?

My data is before the mass erase.

I don't even trust modern links, they've all been tampered with.

Har har, you're phunny.

Some say perfect paranoia is perfect awareness.

No, I don't believe there are microphones or cameras hidden in the walls. You think I'm stupid? The microphones and cameras are right here in the tablet I'm holding right now..

Nothing hidden anymore, it's right in front of you...

You do realize that reads like you're off your meds.

I work in IT. There have definitely been several attacks on the quality of information available to the general public in the last few decades, but none that I would qualify as a singular "the"

Could you be more specific on which attack (or by whom) you're referring to?

I think they're a person who's honestly in a dark place.

I think they're objectively wrong about the 'Saddam being linked to 9/11' thing, and I worry that they've been a bit lost in their own head a bit.

The idea that data was deleted isn't meritless in the sense that between enshittification and Musk's tech bros there's good reason to believe censorship and destruction have occurred recently (and they're only the latest in a long line of maliciously maligned actors).

But I agree that their posts are so ridiculously textbook schizophrenic, that I do wonder if it's an act. Yet, nonetheless it costs me little to be kind. 😅

I don't trust any information about this subject, even my own info. It's all very prone to misinformation, propaganda, and general manipulation.

But of all sources you'd suggest, Wikipedia?

You gotta be shitting me. My sources are between the GAO (Government Accountability Office) and a hefty data dump of early years of Wikileaks.

Anyways, yeah I have plenty enough reason to not trust currently available information, it's all probably been cherry picked and edited to hell and back for the modern narrative.

I have much more original information.

I'm not trusting any external source here. I grew up under the Bush presidency and simply remember the whole fiasco.

Bush and friends invented the link to justify their prior war plans, when pushed to prove there was a connection, Bush failed to produce evidence.

You're implying Bush (or … someone?) had the evidence that would have vindicated him, but rather than share it, deliberately buried it and successfully hid it from the whole world?

I just got done saying that I don't trust any info on this subject, even the huge archive I inherited from my late father.

But I'm more inclined to trust the data from my late father, before many documents conveniently got edited, blacked out or just became missing.

Anyways, I don't care what anyone thinks or can or cannot prove about Hussein, it's perfectly normal to hide in a hole in the ground if you've done nothing wrong...

Oh wait..

Also, Bin Laden was a puppet of Hussein

Dafaq? Saddam had nothing to do with it, and a vast majority of the world knew that at the time. That's why the bullshit WMD story was circulated as an excuse to attack, and still most of the world was dubious at best.
