SoxFan/F6 .. The Kardashian Look-Alike Trolling for Assad

[ sorry, i can't reproduce the image ]

Pretty Tricky

Maram Susli calls ISIS an American puppet, compares Nazis to Zionists—and
is quickly gaining a global following, including one of MIT’s most storied professors.

lol, you gotta read it, .. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/10/17/the-kardashian-look-a-like-trolling-for-assad.html

but first, if you haven't, suggest watch .. Syrian Girl's case against the Neocon Dan Kaszeta Explained by Theadore Postol

the 2nd video in the link F6 repeated .. Down the Alt-Right’s Syrian Rabbit Hole

to see how Postol absolutely rubbishes Higgins and Kaszeta who questioned his position on the Idlib chemical attack .. his attitude toward them reminded me of this bit

It is conceivable, as one of his colleagues has suggested, that Theodore Postol could be more effective “if he did not eventually accuse just about everybody of fraud or malfeasance or stupidity.” Over the past two years, for instance, the MIT professor of science, technology and national security policy has publicly accused the defense technology corporation TRW of perpetrating a hoax on the U.S. government. He has charged the Pentagon's Missile Defense Agency (formerly known as the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization) with committing an “elaborate scientific and technical blunder,” compounded by fraud and misconduct. He has charged the authors of a report investigating those alleged frauds, who include two staff scientists at MIT's Lincoln Laboratory, with committing scientific fraud themselves to cover up the frauds they were allegedly investigating. He has charged the Pentagon's Defense Security Service, in a letter to John Podesta, who was then President Clinton's chief of staff, with “Soviet thuggish-style conduct.” And he has even accused MIT president Charles M. Vest of doing little or nothing to clarify the matter or investigate.

This steady stream of indignation and accusation has led Postol's colleagues to describe him as not so much interested in building coalitions or playing politics as he is in pursuing the truth with a single-minded, laserlike focus. They also suggest that his passion and his capacity for outrage constitute his best and worst qualities. His volatility leads him into conflicts that detract from his main point, which happens to be one of extraordinary importance. Postol is asserting that the U.S. government is on the verge of deploying a $60 billion missile defense system that cannot possibly work, a move that would make the world a considerably less secure place to live. .. http://www.physics.utah.edu/~detar/phys4910/readings/ethics/Postol_TechRev_april2002.htm

i'd read earlier .. Postol went to Sulsi for her chemistry expertise .. he should, himself at least, have questioned her wider state of mind and motive, yet according to the link up top ..

To outsiders, it might have seemed like a strange irony, the pairing of the conspiracist and the physicist. But Postol said he wasn’t bothered by Susli’s reputation. “When I got statements from outside people saying she was a Holocaust denier, quite frankly I wasn’t going to ask her,” he told The Daily Beast. “I just don’t think that’s appropriate. I don’t know what she said. I’m not going to go researching it because my interactions with her, she’s been totally professional.” .. he didn't .. repeat link .. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/10/17/the-kardashian-look-a-like-trolling-for-assad.html

Expert and respected accepted, yet Postol obviously doesn't like it when criticized, and seems to be arrogantly dismissive of his critics .. in part he is not impressive in the video above .. i've got a feeling his reputation will be a bit more tarnished over this dispute .. his judgement, in becoming so reliant upon a conspiracy nut who obviously loves the limelight, is glaringly open to question.

Anyway the article tells you much more about them both. Postol becomes featured about halfway down.
