Jeff said: re: Stew Webb: "I want to back away slowly, and avoid making eye contact."<br><br>Yah, well-said. Secifically, I found his site cited on the story re: MI6-agents arrested to be a helluva mish-mash in which the tenuous shape of a dozen different incidents are semi-intricately and somewhat incoherantly woven into a complex web, like using the sawwed-off shotgun approach as if the sheer mass of stuff will necessarily convince one by the propenderance of its damning momentum -- but hardly focused or sufficiently detailed and corroborated and so not very compelling. Too bad really because a lot of the stuff he posts NEED to happen -- but that's also why I'm quite quardedly skeptical -- The Powers That Be are simply too deeply and intricately connected to the Justice Dept and machinery of state to allow themselves to be so readily suckerpunched. <br><br>Webb's 'formula' seems to consist in-part on laying down a withering field of fire, creating a virtual firestorm of accusations that the 'named party' are provoked into reacting to and thereby showing their hand -- That is, I feel much of his material is designed to cause much the very things he alleges, like 'interactive progressive-reform journalism' -- the kinda thing the shadow gummint's own spinmeisters and propaganda ministers do so very well for their crypto-fascist/globalist clients. They're hardly likely to have their own techniques become coopted by a shrill administration critic, who in their eyes must be a relative johnny-come-lately and a rank amateur to-boot.<br><br>Webb comes across as a bit of a radio-carney showman whose 'style' is as much a part of his message as his Holy-Hell! information. <br><br>The day a Stew Web feature makes MSM headlines, you prolly better initiate your back-up Survival Plan if you have one, cuz chances are then there's a much bigger untold-story catastrophe like an offshore tsunami growing like a mountain -- before rushing in to raise HolyLivinGaddamnedHell and drown all those poor unsuspecting suckers who never even dreamed they were living in a millenium flood plain.<br><br>But I think it's good to keep your antennae tuned to 'hear' what Stew's on-about, he's kinda a bellwether of what kinda storm clouds might be buildin and where they MIGHT be comin' from.<br><br>Starman<br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :smokin --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smokin.gif ALT=":smokin"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>
