"The World Divided" by Amitakh Stanford

The article just seemed so breezily written, with no doubt or uncertainty, just a simple statement of how things are- the tone reminded me of the work of that esteemed journalist Sorcha Faal. These types tend to rely overly on the credulity of the average reader of this type of material, which has some basis and is insulting at the same time.
The lead in on PC implies that the article has some important info but with no
apparent vetting of the witness ("very little information about the foundations of this work") , no critical input or analysis by PC, just Kerry's opinion that the article holds interesting "clues" and "insight".
How is one to make use of this?
I know we all have to do our own research, but this sort of thing seems too flimsy to merit publication in the first place.
Walk on is more like it.
I'm channeling franciejones. Take my word for it.
