• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Maybe it was one of his former Russian backers wanting his money back.

What exactly is a "Russian backer", and what's your beef with them?

For a while, his show was being produced/paid by a front company for Russian propagandists.

no

I also don’t accept the assumption that it was because of his political activism.

But no, he didn’t have it coming.

I checked on it, and yes they allegedly contributed (nothing's been proven yet), but it did not produce and fund his show. Is Ilhan Omar a Somali propagandist? What was this Russian propaganda saying?

Tim Pool's never been charged with any wrongdoing, so I have no idea why you put that in this thread.

Given the backdrop of several recent events...

That seems less likely than "zealot nutjob who views heterodox viewpoints as threatening trying to take matters into their own hands"


If we're going to go down the rabbit hole of entertaining "bordering on conspiracy" theories about why someone would shoot at him, given his more recent rhetoric, Mossad would be a bigger culprit than Russia, wouldn't it?

Admittedly, I haven't listened to Pool in a few months (I listen to a pretty big variety of various podcasts and and shows spanning the spectrum), but the last time I did listen to him, he was still on the thought train of being critical of Ukrainian funding, and suggesting that Western nations were provoking Russia by crossing red lines.

So not sure why they'd want him whacked.
