Debka is entertainment, it's the James Bond fiction of current events.
Al qaeda reports news "before they happen", i.e. thing in the intel realm, and they are frequently right, but as a result of the nature of their info, not always, and sometimes we don't even find out they were right.
I think Debka puts more thought and info into their articles than the NYT, so why do people believe the NYT?
Second, and so has James Bond. FWIW in the movies,
Goldfinger introduced .... lasers far before they were everywhere.
And Dr. No introduced ...... desk top copiers.
What Q introduced became commonplace within decades.
