It’s not that it’s too long to read. It’s that it comes from a discredited shill.

Mercouris by his own admission suffered serious mental illness from 2006 to 2012 culminating with a fiasco with a client that led him to being disbarred as a Barrister. To replace that income, he began offering himself up as an expert on Russia Today, a platform on which he has appeared more than 150 times.

The best way to think of Mercouris is as a mouthpiece for Russia. The proclivity to lie that got him disbarred serves him well in his new capacity.

Here’s the conclusion of the disciplinary finding against him:

Alexander Mercouris engaged in conduct likely to diminish public confidence in the legal profession or the administration of justice or otherwise bring the legal profession into disrepute, contrary to section 301(a)(iii) in that you purported in a statement dated 11 December 2009 that you had been detained by bogus police officers and taken to a meeting at the Royal Courts of Justice where a senior law lord tried to bribe you to drop a legal case in return for a payment to you of 50,000 plus payment of your debts and mortgage knowing that this did not happen and dishonestly claiming that it did.

Sanction: Disbarred
Costs: £786.00

Beyond that, he’s been dead effing wrong since the prelude to the invasion.

Here he dismisses the very prospect of an invasion:

You go on to list all manner of things and you never get around to explaining why Mercouris is so much more accurate than the Ukrainian government, the Ukrainina military, and most of all, the Ukrainian shills on Free Republic. Mercouris is accurate. The world is trying to deal with the huge mistake Zelensky just made. It sounds like a replacement for Zelensky (former interior minister of Ukraine) has been identified. Meanwhile, you can scream that it's not true and claim that Mercouris does not recycle aluminum cans, and it doesn't matter because he is more accurate and balanced than everything the Ukrainians have put forth.

Google is at it again, new YouTube security threat

08/04/2024 12:35:56 PM PDT · by Openurmind · 98 replies 8/4/24 | Member I have detected a serious YouTube security threat that needs exposure. All IT and security experts welcome to please check into my findings and chime in. Here is what I found so far. Years ago this was a problem. Just going to youtube or Google mail at all even on another tab without logging in would load strong spyware in your browser and even in your machine permanently which required reinstalling your OS to remove. It tracked logins on other tabs and was gaining access to keyboards, microphones, and cameras even if you just landed on their site by accident....
