Well one thing I noticed and I find quite interesting is that this piece is categorized under "OPINION" and not actual Journalistic Reporting. Which suggests it did not meet the standards of rigor that should be required for accurate journalism.

Another thing is he makes allusions constantly but doesn't give much in the way of citations or references except some nebulous remark that so and so and such and such institution said it. Other than that, I think it's a conspiracy theory, but a plausible one to a certain degree, but the motivations are somewhat flimsy ....at the same time it's highly unlikely that DAESH has qualified techocratically savvy individuals beyond simple multimedia skilled people....as we can see that within DAESH territories they have poor or even lacking internal web networks and infrastructure.

A good number of DAESH members were just Irreligious Rap Music Loving , High School Drop Out Thugs that indulged in immorality and drugs who dressed like typical Urban Ghetto Trash in Western countries, and suddenly grew a beard to seem Islamic and go around committing gruesome murders on false pretexts. Although there are some more, Academically Educated DAESH members, they're the minority. and Hence why DAESH controlled areas are in terrible shape.

That's sad that he's doing such sloppy work now then.......unless the reason he's a "former" professional and not a current one was due to his sloppy work and ultimately getting fired on that grounds of which it's sad people take him on his status and not on his merits.

I think he is quite convincing. He is trying to explain why he believes cyber caliphate is a Russian proxy. He makes a good case for it.

You have weird logic, nebulous connections convince you, but you make concrete proclamations on people's faith.

ISIS is the closes thing to real Salafi version of Islam, face it man, you and so many others were supporting them at the beginning, it's funny how Salafis are distancing themselves now from them.
