      I think it's someone doing a bit honestly. I don't see intelligence goons having all that much interest in hexbear if I'm being honest. We're smol beans compared to reddit which 1,000% has intel fingerprints all over it.

        Yeah, it was likely a dumb bit. The whole thing was really over the top.

        I kinda wish we did get more ops though. All we get is Vaushites being fucking losers. I want some legit psyop action up in here!

        Edit: Read the whole rambling comment and it is 100% a BMF bit lmao. That ending with the overly long Snape quote about gnawing on bones and understanding the bible, I'm fucking reeling lmfao

            well it's very easy to make an account named "kwestley" and simply copy paste the text from the video description, which to me points to it being a bit.

              I think the hexbear poster was a phony but why does the original YT uploader's video description sound like a bit? That's the question.

                i don't think the YT description is a bit, I think it's a lie. Obviously youtube wasn't around until 2005 so it couldn't have been "kept on private" like the guy said, but maybe that's just boomer brain of not knowing how the internet works. But all the military/airline connections in his career are very sus. I don't think the video is a deepfake, and I do think it's genuinely never-before-seen footage. I can't speculate what his motivations are for releasing it, but the 'i kept it private' excuse is definitely not true, at the very least. Maybe he feels guilty for something he was involved in and is leaving a trail of breadcrumbs for people to follow now that he's old.

                EDIT: If you mean the Harry Potter stuff, and him connecting it to a passage from Corinthians, make of that what you will. I don't think that part was a bit, I think the old man who posted the video genuinely found solace in a passage from a kid's book, as weird as it might seem to us.

                  Yeah the Harry Potter stuff had me cackling, but I am convinced that part was real.

          So BMF has a 2006 youtube channel? that they posted kevin westley's retirement ceremony along with this new 9/11 vid and the exact text that was posted on hexbear including the weird harry potter shit is in the video description? kevin westley is a real person who did work on horned owl and worked as a chief engineer for boeing.

        Whose minds are they changing here? 9/11 was fake, but America deserved 9/11, and anybody who would post about it is a psy opping CIA agent (unless, of course, they're FBI). I am simply an automaton: I see something about 9/11, I seethe about America.

        edit: it's come to my attention it was a bit; don't care, still seething

          is it a bit? the text that was posted to heaxbear is a direct copy paste of the youtube video description which is kevin westley's 15 year old youtube channel. it has his retirement vid which is in reference to his work on horned owl as well as other personal videos.
