Title: Is Jimmy Dore a conspiracy theorist?

Or are those in charge trying to smear him. Watch the WHOLE thing.

Even on a Saturday morning, I have better things to do with half an hour than watch some video.

Also, I think the site's rules require you to provide enough information to discuss the topic without having to go looking elsewhere.

Yeah, chase trolls around the forum. It was stated on here that the comedian Jimmy Dore was a conspiracy theorist. Here is a video that shows why in this instance he is not. Sometimes the guy DOES fall into the trap of following a bad lead. But the smear appears to be disingenuous if you don't actually view the material.

So, you break the rules and then, on account of that, you call me a troll.

Well, that's one approach to discussion.
What does the video actually say?

If I remember the context correctly, a poster claimed he was not a conspiracy theorist for supporting a conspiracy theory about a gas attack in Syria.  Someone pointed out that he also supported some of the 9/11 conspiracies. I doubt he is a committed conspiracist, just out to get higher viewing figures.
That reminds me, I should really put both sides of the Syria thing up rather than leave the one sided view. I’ll do that.

I didn't call you a troll. I said you chase trolls. Which is what you do. You actually do a very effective job.

The problem with the "debunking' of the Syria gas attack is it was based on one engineer's report at the OPCW. That engineer dissented and said the scene looked staged. The late Robert Fisk was on the ground in Syria at the time and this is where some more of the doubt came in. Here is a link to his article. https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/syria-chemical-attack-gas-douma-robert-fisk-ghouta-damascus-a8307726.html

The video is about the lies told by Dr Anthony Fauci during the pandemic. There has been a release of his emails over the period of the pandemic via a freedom of information request.

Well, if you haven't watched the video then you won't be able to come to a conclusion. Since you have no observations on which you can base said conclusions. Without observations, all is conjecture.

Let's get one thing straight. I do not believe in conspiracy theories. The 9/11 conspiracy theories are spread by those who have done no proper research. Sometimes, however, the so called conspiracy theorist finds and shares something worth following up. However, they can be easily dismissed because of past behaviour. This does not benefit anyone but those in positions of power.

I know. That's why I asked you what was in the video.
But, for some reason, you seem unable to answer.

Having said that, re. " Since you have no observations on which you can base said conclusions. Without observations, all is conjecture."
That's not quite true.
I have made observations about what Dr F has said, and I have seen reports from others about what he has said.

It is not unreasonable for me to conclude  (in this context) that the video contains similar material which misrepresents what he said.

Now the reason why we need to be concerned about how those in power deal with covid distribution is pointed out in this BBC report. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-55795297

If we don't get those billions of doses out there then the unrestricted infections will lead to more, and maybe deadlier variants of covid. That affects all of us.

Why should rich countries delay getting these vaccines to the rest of the world?

No I am taking no notice of you. You accused me of calling you a troll when I didn't. Maybe you just misread it, which is excusable. If you misrepresented me on purpose to paint me in a negative light that is less excusable.

You seem incapable of parsing sentences. Why do you keep doing that?

That's why I asked you what was in the video.

Basically what's happening in the video is Jimmy Dore going back and forth comparing statements that Fauci has made publicly with content from his E-mails. Included are statements about his stance on masks, asymptomatic spread, a possible lab leak of the virus, whether or not he has been blocked from making particular statements, and his talks with Bill Gates about a global vaccination effort. Dore claimed that Fauci lied by pointing out contradictions between his E-mails and his public statements.

To be honest, I wasn't able to read the text that was posted very well so I'm not sure how true it was. However, one particular thing I did notice was that Dore said that Fauci lied because he claimed publicly that we didn't know that 50% of infections were asymptomatic whereas he was shown to talk about asymptomatic infections much earlier in one E-mail. The thing is, Fauci didn't say in the E-mail how many infections were asymptomatic, only that there would be some. So I don't count that particular one as a lie.

The problem we face with conspiracy theories is that as individuals we never have full access to any evidence or information, so we rely on our information sources to give us a balanced view. After that it’s up to us to decide which we believe.
Most conspiracy theories develop around factual events and the initial reporting will often stick in our minds because it is dramatic eg 9/11.
If we look at the case of Andrew Wakefield and MMR, his initial claims were widely reported in all the national and international press, but when the BMA claimed he had faked the data, taken undeclared money, and had his own patent for a single vaccine, that was reported with less vigour, particularly in much of the international press. Now he has become the centre of a conspiracy theory that the establishment and big pharma want to hide the truth. A conspiracy that has become big business.
I have a great deal of respect for Robert Fisk and I am certain that he reported what he found in interviews. The Independent certainly gave a lot of coverage to the Douma attacks, but as far as I am aware they didn’t give the same coverage to the results of the independent enquiry into the OPCW report as other newspapers did eg https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/feb/07/inquiry-strikes-blow-to-russian-denials-of-syria-chemical-attack
Which side of this conspiracy theory you believe ............?
but as Phil Collins said, “we always need to hear both sides of the story”

You don't have any evidence to support that rather silly claim.
I'm not asking you to transcribe the whole video or anything like that.

I'm just asking for something like this...
" x minutes into the video they show an email from F to ... whoever...  saying ... whatever....
That statement is false  and he should have known that at the time, so he is a liar."

In a half-hour video about the emails which prove he is a liar, that should be easy enough to do.

since I asked first.

Though the answer is easy enough.
I called you out for not actually telling us what your thread was about.
You posted a video with a big banner saying "Fauci lies revealed in emails".

Since then I have been trying to get to to say if the video actually shows "what it says on the tin".
You have yet to actually answer.

Then you said "
Yeah, chase trolls around the forum.
Now, among the things internet trolls do is post provocative videos (or other content) then fail to engage with any discussion about them.

You raised the issue of trolling.
And you have steadfastly refused to say whether or  not the video actually does what it says.
