Not enough Ockham
A common failing among "independent" writers is a tendency to seek complex explanations.
From Finian Cunningham, who is generally a pretty good independent:
Over the past two years there have been increasing reports of supposed “sonic injuries” among US diplomats. First in Cuba and more recently in China. Controversial implications are that the US officials may have been maliciously targeted by a “sonic weapon” in host countries. However, a more likely explanation is that the alleged victims are the result of US attempts to create “super spies”. ... It is known that the Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) is investigating brain stimulation devices to greatly enhance learning ability in subjects. DARPA, as recently as last year, reported the successful use of trans-cranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) devices to boost the cognitive skills among experimental monkeys.There's no reason to go that far. DARPA is undoubtedly doing those experiments, but you don't need to connect the two things. With the Skripal hate hoax, all the "independents" start with the assumption that some kind of poison existed and was used by somebody. The "independents" then try to erode the credibility of Deepstate's blaming Russia by pointing out that Novichoks are made by many other countries, etc. There's NO REASON for those details. The only thing we know for sure is that the Skripals, who are EMPLOYEES OF MI6, were SEEN by non-insiders looking drunk or unconscious. The rest of the "facts" come directly from Deepstate. Therefore we don't need any details. The simplest and best explanation is that MI6 told its EMPLOYEES to go to a specific place at a specific time and act unconscious. The rest is stagecraft. With the "sonic attack" hate hoax we also have to start with what we KNOW. The only thing we KNOW is that Deepstate is saying a bunch of stuff about "sonic attacks" on its own EMPLOYEES. Therefore we don't NEED to hypothesize that a PHYSICAL EVENT happened. The only thing that happened is LIES. When all sources of "information" are EMPLOYEES OF SPY AGENCIES, the only thing you need to assume is that Deepstate wants us to believe a bunch of ratshit.
