This was reported on at the time, but feel it is topic that is well worth keeping in the present and should not be fogotten so easily, or let any guilty parties off the hook...
SO I'm keeping it the public forum.
I'm good like that.
Newsbud is an 'alternative news media', site and one that I have beenwatching for a couple of years. (previously called 'boiled frog').
The owner, Sibel Edmonds is an ex FBI whistle blower from 2003- ish. Now this is something that rang alarm bells for me, initially I but gave her the benefit of the doubt.
An alive FBI whistle blower - and 'allowed' to set up a alternative news media site?....mmmm
But I have to say, the information that the site gave, and the analysis they gave, was very good – especially concerning middle eastern and Turkish affairs.
So far so good.
THEN 5 weeks ago, she (Sibel Edomonds) came out with a personal, viscous attach on Vanessa Beeley and her friend.
Rather than sticking to facts, as I was used to with this news channel – it became CNN-esque – dramatic music in the backdrop of accusations and attempted character assassination - the whole nine yards of MSM!
She then went on to attack 21st Century wire - who are connected/allied with Vanessa Beeley - but most people would say a very intelligent alternative news site.....The whole thing came across as downright bizarre!
It surprised me more than I can tell you! – This is the first time I have ever seen such an unprofessional presentation from the Newsbud team.
It stuck out with its inconsistency of logical examination, one that I was used to from them.
I have watched hours of Newbud reports for the in depth examination of the issues of the day (and Sibel Edmond is very easy on the eye. Which is also something that got me suspicious, btw - before this present issue. Just too good looking. MSM style...)
Did 'the powers that be' instruct this off track attack?
Was Vanessa Beeley making to much of an impact? (Someone I have also follewed for several years, and find her report beyond reproach in so far as Syria goes - which is what the attack was mainly about) Venessa Beely was reporting on the white helmets 3 years ago at least -and what they were upto - and is pivotal in the outing of them.
It was intriguing to say the least.
THEN James Corbett got involved.
He gave a forensic dissembling of the Newsbud attack, and went on to disassociate himself any further from this news site. (bearing In mind he had been allied to them for years).
the Corbett response to Newsbud
I would take Corbett and Beeley over Newsbud any day...
During this time, I thought I peruse the comment section on Newsbud, to see the reactions, both from readers and staff members.
The aggressive posture continued on the comments section, with no 'standing down' or attempts do diffuse the situation.
Now this got me really suspicious of Newsbud in general, and I carried on reading.
Then I came to a Sibel Edmonds comment - about STEEMIT.
Yes STEEMIT.
( I can't find the comment on their website now...)
Her interpretation of these new sites was – 'it's government obtaining all the informational from users, and storing it....And best avoided!'
She obviously knew nothing about steemit, or blockchain – and I know bugger all.
Or did she?
She is a very intelligent (did I mention hot?) woman, and this argument was uninformed at best, and downright disingenuous worst.
On balance, I have to think Newsbud is controlled opposed. Nothing else adds up to me.
And more than willing to attack any alternative media that is gaining too much traction....
Sorry Sibel, goodbye. (Still hot though...)
The you tube presentations are long...but well worth the time.
