The Unfortunate Fall of Sibel Edmonds and NewsBud

in #news7 years ago (edited)

I say 'unfortunate fall' because I really liked Sibel and actually contributed a small amount to help get her NewsBud organization going. I haven't been all that interested in what they've been reporting on for some time so I've not paid much attention to her or NewsBud lately.

Then I bumped into this situation via Steemit a few days back, and in my opinion, after just scratching the surface with only a tiny bit of research via the Steemit article and a little looking on Twitter, I completely lost confidence in Sibel, and therefore in NewsBud as well.

Here is the original Steemit article that caught my attention with this issue:

If you are interested in this subject, I'd highly recommend that you read the above post (and comment discussion) as a good starting point. I also made a few comments on this very enlightening post.

Then today I see that James Corbett has done a 1 hour+ video on this exact subject. He did a fantastic job on the video as usual. His video firmly solidified my sentiment regarding Sibel and NewsBud.

I just can’t help but think that Sibel has somehow kind of lost her mind. What she’s saying and doing is just completely incredible. It is inconceivable that a woman with her background and obvious intelligence can keep on carrying on in this way. I have to wonder if something bad has happened to her somehow, because what she has been doing, and continues to do, is complete and unsupportable garbage. What a waste.
