Traderrob, thanks for your somewhat conciliatory comment on Debka.

A few comments to all the DEBKA trashers out there.

1. It was the very, very, very fringe groups with their posters, pamphlets, broadsides, articles, leaflets etc. which FIRST and EARLIEST identified who Hitler was, his values, priorities, goals MOST ACCURATELY.

2. imho, Debka has a LOT better sources than the MSM seems to be remotely aware of.

3. Debka may go out on some limbs on interpretation but that's fine with me. I'd rather have their speculations than the MSM "certainties" any day.

4. Debka may be used by powers that be for disinformation purposes in many different contexts, situations, scenarios. That goes with the territory. The MSM is used manipulatively, in Machiavellian ways toward Machivellian global government goals 100% of the time or near it.

5. I have not found that Debka is as near wrong as the 'gestalt' group think about Debka hereon makes Debka out to be. Maybe I haven't been keeping a good score at all. But it seems to me that there's an 'in-crowd' sort of trashing that has taken hold against Debka. Personally, I think it's been MOST instigated and fanned by the liberal . . . welllll, the liberals amongst us. But it's sad to see so many true conservatives jump on that bandwagon so persistently and faithfully in behalf of the liberal cause and objectives.

6. I see Debka as an early warning sort of clue in. They report various inputs from varioius well connected sources. There's often a fair amount of speculation. Whatever percentage is probably deliberate disinformation from the powers that be. What else is new. That's the nature of journalism.

7. Debka is merely--at best--even when it's IS the best of the best on a topic--it's merely one channel of information. One has to compare it with others; for Believers, pray about it and discern what to put much stock in and what to wait and see how much of it falls of the shelf confirmed. So what. That's the nature of journalism.

8. No doubt the Debka trashing will continue. But I hope there are some who consider it as one often enough valid source of input for careful evaluation--as one would any other media source.
