Move forward not quite two years, to June 2023, when I said I might owe him an apology. That said, in a comment to the piece six months later, I said that I had become more skeptical again, and that bioengineering is not bioweaponization.
The kind of a nutter? Being a full-on Zionist conspiracy theorist about the assassinations of both John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy over Zionism issues. That includes uncritically citing Whitney Webb and linking to pieces like this.
I jokingly said a year ago, on the JFK assassination 60th anniversary, that Mossad whacked Jack over Dimona. Note the word "jokingly."
I seriously said earlier this year, building on previous writing, that Sirhan Sirhan killed Bobby because he was a Zionist.
As for his take that Karen Silkwood was whacked by Mossad because she discovered that high-grade plutonium was being smuggled out of Kerr-McGee's plant by the CIA to Israel, who was then reshipping cuts of it to Shah-era Iran? Also laughable, IMO.
First, Rolling Stone notes the difficulty of smuggling 100 pounds of plutonium out of Hanford. Could it have been intercepted in transit to Kerr-McGee's plant? Yes.
More likely, per that, and per this piece from a researcher in Silkwood's case is that, given the massive management and safety clusterfucks at Kerr-McGee, this plutonium was indeed "lost" in some way. Also per that piece, it was 40 pounds, not 89 claimed by Husseini, that was originally missing, and half of it was discovered soon thereafter. The remaining 20 pounds? Enough for two Nagasaki bombs. Something, but NOT "all that."
The reality? French help in building Dimona included a reprocessing plant. India got the material for its first bomb that way.
This isn't quite antisemitism, but it's a type of conspiratorial anti-Zionism that gets very close to that.
