SomeonesBones.com is not a news outlet. The web site deals with and traffics in conspiracy theories, and according to their “About” page is largely focused on unraveling the mysteries of Nibiru, a nonexistent planet that was “predicted” (falsely, because as we mentioned, it is nonexistent) to collide with Earth.
The article also did not bother correctly naming Thailand’s prime minister (Prayut Chan-ocha). While we cannot say with certainty why this site used the name Nik Bukharain, we found it interesting to note that Nikolai Bukharin was a Soviet politician and author who was executed in 1938 for conspiring to overthrow the Soviet state. The name “Vladimir Vladomirovich,” which is a slight misspelling of Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s full name (Vladimir Vladimirovich), also appears in the footer of the site.
The article also uses misleading photographs, such as the one below, to illustrat the claim that Obama owns “a mansion and a 400-acre estate on the outskirts of the city of Si Sa Ket”:
This image actually shows the Villa Rak Tawan, a property which overlooks Surin Beach and is rented out for weddings and other special occasions.
Someonesbones.com also did not provide sources, claiming instead to quote an apparently nonexistent article from an apparently nonexistent publication:
The web site did not provide a link back to the story, and we found no record of a publication named the “Washington Beacon.” The site may have been referring to “The Washington Free Beacon,” but we found no record of a Thomas Clearwater, nor the quoted material, on that web site (which was only launched in 2012). Someonesbones.com may have offering a wink and a nod toward Thomas Clearwater, a film producer who shares similar interests as SomeonesBones.com and has produced projects such as “Truth Embargo” about the existence of aliens.
The claim that Delta Force operators raided an Obama-controlled stronghold in Thailand is not based on any factual information.
Gonna have to dig a bit, Can we debunk Snopes on this?
Yeah fuck snopes... they jumped on the opportunity to bury this, but, like so many others, they can't read between the fucking lines. Baited, hook, line and sinker.
There's nothing to suggest that a raid took place at the location photographed, but, if you read the language of the someonesbones article, the author does NOT say that Villa Rak Tawan is the property raided:
According to our source, the Trump administration learned that Obama, by proxy, owned a mansion and a 400-acre estate on the outskirts of the city of Si Sa Ket, approximately 500 km from Bangkok. On paper, the land was owned by the allegedly defunct Solyndra Corporation, a startup solar company to which Obama gave 2.2 billion taxpayer dollars in 2009.
They speak of other properties without any indication as to why the image of Villa Rak Tawan has been included - is it a bad choice? or a hint? I think it's a hint... albeit that their math on how much Obama gave, may be off.
Seems to me that snopes really wanted to bury this, for one of two(or both) reasons:
They want to remain relevant by 'debunking' something they were sure is fake due to misleading/quesitonable elements about the article contents and the site which posted it.
They know the article contains something seriously damning and are trying to attack every perceivable vulnerability so that nobody will take any one bit of it seriously.
I always thought they either didnt really say much and said debunk, like Pizzagate
Or they talk like Hillary half truths that doesn't cover the whole
What pissed me off and I just read an article on fake news, republicans over 60 Trumpsters dont bother to check with Snopes or Political correct to check if they are being duped
Boy did that piss me off
Gonna go looking in deep at Snopes
Know there was an ugly divorce with wife saying husband been using Snope money for His lifestyle, but I gonna check on who writes this shit and where Snopes get there money
