I make a big distinction between what I "believe" and what I know. I am trained as a scientist to be aware of that distinction and what makes the difference. You don't know, and you don't care. You are happy to think that belief is knowledge.
As for 2 trillion dollars, who knows where it went? And what difference does it make? It is irrecoverable, a total loss, and the lesson is that the parties responsible for it cannot be trusted. Looking for evidence may be of interest for purposes of prosecution, but that shouldn't stop corrective action at the top.
Most of the "psyops" I have encountered are complete bullshit conspiracy theories. It is appalling to see how many self-selected bright guys fall for this nonsense without questioning it. The problem is that they only pose questions from a standpoint of total ignorance (flat earth, chemtrails). They seem to be unable to get the difference between an "open mind" and an empty mind. The other "psyops" are straightforward falsehoods and propaganda surrounding events like covid-19 and Ukraine. Yet another "psyop" is the egocentric belief that one is endowed with special knowledge (through rejection of all objective evidence)---so as to draw totally unsupported conclusions about what I believe, the truth of government reports, and of "the narrative." You wonder about me. And the problem is, with no connection to the perspective of how to parse evidence, you will always be in a state of wonder.
In the case of Clinton, it was her theme for no follow-up. In what I said, I emphasized that it was useful for prosecutions (follow-up), but not for what to do next to prevent more of the same. That is still true, and your allusion to Clinton is off-target.
I've got plenty of logic, based on factual knowledge. I was alleging nothing else, and you have nothing to say against it, except to compare me to morons. And then, with wounded pride, celebrate your ignorance.
Your ability to target the truth is reflected in your wild and untrue speculations about me (that I am vaxxed, am a loser, and hide behind money). Humans are indeed pathetic when they follow your path of pride in supposition.
Do you believe we land on the moon? Yes or no.
I know we landed on the Moon, 6 times. It is not a matter of "belief." Changing the topic, I see. Another trait of a failed argument. Are you a Moon Hoaxer? (You don't need to answer. It is a rhetorical question.) If so, it would pretty much seal the deal on your ignorance of scientific and technical matters. And your resentment of anyone who actually has such knowledge.
