Remember when Sibel Edmonds was big here at DU?

[jberryhill]

The DU "Whistleblowers" group remains as a vestigial remnant of the popularity of Sibel Edmonds here at DU. She was so important that she actually had her own discussion group:

After that group was quietly deep-sixed, the name was shortened, so that Sibel Edmonds fans could keep up with her, Snowden, Assange, Manning, and other hero-prophets.

I'm surprised that none of the people who used to sell her on DU as the greatest thing since sliced bread have kept up with her more recent writings in which, it appears, the mask has finally fallen off:

Khashoggi is/was Not who the mainstream media has been portraying. Right from day one the media published and marketed a false portrayal of this so-called victim, and did so intentionally. Jamal Khashoggi was not a journalist. He contributed less than a handful of fluff opinion pieces for the Washington Post (Of course a newspaper with a long history of CIA partnership). He was Osama Bin Laden’s partner and confidante throughout the 80s. He’s been on the CIA team since 1982. In the 90s he worked as a liaison Intel officer for Saudi-CIA cooperation. Starting in the mid-2000s he was an active Arab Spring operative for several NGOs, many of them funded by George Soros and the CIA. Pretty much everything fed by the media giving Khashoggi and his background almost a saint-like status has been false. Intentionally.

Who would have guessed that Sibel Edmonds would finally be reduced to selling outright bullshit?

1. wow im glad i missed that one!

[maxsolomon]

2. Is that really 100% bullshit?

Khashoggi was a regime insider for decades. Is 100% of it wrong - or just the Soros/CIA part?

[jberryhill]

3. I left out the "Joos did it" part

[maxsolomon]

7. Yeah, that felt like the line to me.

He's ALL POWERFUL, that Soros.

[Hekate]

4. Nothing like institutional memory, is there?

[still_one]

5. That is interesting. Obviously the MSM did not pick up on that which is probably the reason it

wasn't discussed.

[jberryhill]

6. Yeah, well, you know that MSM...

...always in on a scheme to hide important news.

[still_one]

12. No, but they do determine which stories get the most attention, and usually those are

the ones that generate readership or viewers, thus advertises

Nobody remembers or cares about Sibel Edmunds
Doesn't create enough excitement

A good juicy scandal or party in fighting works very well

[jberryhill]

13. The MSM did not pick up on Jamal Khashoggi being an agent of a George Soros conspiracy?

Nobody remembers or cares about Sibel Edmunds

They love her over at Infowars!

[still_one]

14. Because it isn't true

[Jose Garcia]

8. It was the basic grift. Monetize telling people what they want to hear

[Blue_Tires]

9. I'm disappointed

I was a big fan of hers back in the day and it's sad to see how far she's fallen.

And she isn't the only one, either... A lot of formerly liberal icons from the '00s have seemed to "rebrand" themselves in recent years.

[jberryhill]

10. Or maybe they weren't really on our side to begin with

[Blue_Tires]

17. A very real possibility

[PatSeg]

11. Whoa

I often wonder what happened to her. That is pretty disappointing.

[panader0]

15. "So-called victim"? OK

[greenjar_01]

16. Another head for the pike

Shakespearean-level revenge obsession.
