I'll warn you as someone who followed Webb very closely 7 yrs ago...his reportage goes no where. It's designed to entrain you into his leaping logic and it's very vile what he does. He gives you like 5 true factually verifiable things, and then he takes the necessary most important thing to connect to something else--lets call it the bridge--and he swaps the real for the false, and gives you something that SEEMS like it might be true but its not verifiable and it NEEDS TO BE, but then you fall for it and connect the two unconnected things with a false bridge. This is a technique they teach the mind rapists at JTRIG and the intel agencies. It called sensemaking I believe....Webb engages people with his storytelling and deep knowlege about many things, but really he's just cobbling together a breakdown of things on wikipedia, open source intelligence (websites with peoples credit rating, tax ownerships, etc) and stuff his research group sends him...
People say he's good at connecting the dots and I say he's good at connecting MOST of the dots and then faking a dot connect that leads his audience down a very dark path; then it doesn't work out, and all you get is demoralized and hopeless.
Sorry for the scathing critique of Webb...I was a loyal follower of his until I came to my senses. His initial stuff was GREAT. The Marc Turi bit and connecting everytyhing to timber sycamore and the hillary stuff....but nothing came of it
He did a GREAT job on the awan stuff and deserves a pulitzer for it..he and luke rosiak but ... of course that went no where too
