NEWLY UNEARTHED DOCUMENTS today reveal what really happened in Tiananmen Square, Beijing, in 1989—how the protests were prepared, how teams caused them to escalate, and how they really came to an end.
And they provide the most detailed account yet about one of the biggest hoaxes in modern history—one so successful that the perpetrators, an
i tried to find any information on the website, but cant seem to be successful - no wikipedia no mentions on other sites
is there anything that makes them a credible source?
The sources they referenced were from 1) mainstream Western journalism, 2) original documents from persons/organizations, and 3) declassified government documents; all of which can be independently verified.
Ah, but you see… no Wikipedia links! And as we all know, in the hallowed halls of Liberal Orthodoxy, only Wikipedia, Star Wars lore, Marvel wikis, and Harry Potter fan theories count as reputable sources.
thats not what I said; I said that I can find no info whatsoever on the website itself. The website has no Wikipedia and isn’t mentioned on any major site.
🥱
what are you trying to achieve here? scare me away from adopting your opinion? being critical about new sources / information is just proper validation; your reaction on the other hand leads me to believe that its a non-credible source and I shouldn’t believe what it says; job well done.
As others explained to you in this very thread, the video provides credible western sources that you chose to ignore while braying about lack of wikipedia links. If you expect people to take you seriously then put an effort into actually engaging in a meaningful way instead of making inane comments. Also, nobody really cares whether you’re personally convinced of anything. What’s important is to point out the fallacy of your arguments for others.
you didnt even read my comments; I never claimed that there are wikipedia links lacking; I said (as explained 3 times by now) that there is nothing that I could find that references this website; the website does not have a wikipedia, it also doesnt get cited by anything meaningful. I can’t validate the website itself as a credible source.
The article further references many sources, but it rarely provides exact page numbers, document titles, or direct links, which makes it hard to verify the claims quickly or independently. Also sources confirming the validity of some of the declassified documents are missing. Finally it does not properly discuss its supposed sources, but rather cites passages strengthening its own narrative - this just doesn’t look like good scientific/journalistic work; which is why I started questioning its validity.
fuck the cia, they have done a lot of provable harm; but I am not willing to jump to conclusions just because it fits my narrative. which is why I will question the validity of articles like this one that raise red flags in terms of proper scientific/journalistic work. Id love to have more reasons to hate the US for taking influence everywhere in the world, but I want it proven not assumed with a hint of sources.
Thats not how source verification works! Credibility=/= verification! Some nobody citing a lot of firsthand accounts of notable state actors admitting that they did a thing that would be bad for them to admit might be less credible than a mainstream news platform only citing secondary sources but is giving you more verifiable information.
People downvoting you for asking if they are a credible source is…weird. Everyone should always be asking themselves if a particular source of information is a credible source.
