The US military complex is a conspiracy theorist for suggesting Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. That conspiracy actually had consequences and is the reason why we hold this hearing.
This is a blatant intellectually dishonest character assasination attempt.
Interesting comment, so I went looking for his "conspiracy theories" and that's the only one. Technically I guess that qualifies for the title.
Probably helpful to mention he was a former overseas Ambassador for the UK too? Surely that carries some weight in the world of online conspiracy discourse we are having here?
Not saying he's right, simply saying he's the type of guy who was at the forefront of where real conspiracies happen. Have no actual opinion on the matter and don't know anything about it. It could be pure rambling for all I know.
That said, look at all the people who were criticised for knowing the truth before Snowden, before MKUltra, before Iran-Contra. It's a fine line to draw here.
To pretend that this world doesn't have some funny things going on all the time behind the scenes is either willfully ignorant or...
No, there are 'pretty massive holes' in what he misrepresents the official narrative to be. For example he states:
As the MSM never questions the official narrative, there has never been an official answer as to how the gel got from the doorknob to the roof.
In 1 second of Googling:
Speaking to BBC Radio Wiltshire, Alistair Cunningham, the chair of the recovery coordination group, said: "the whole house had to be searched, including the roof space.
We want to be sure no contamination was taken from the door into the roof space.
It's a timber structure and when it comes to wood it's more difficult to clean. It's easier to remove."
And that's just a random paragraph I pulled out of the middle of dozens of claims he makes.
You need to actually read what he says and then relate what he claims people are lying to you about and what people are actually saying.
It also helps as context to why Murray is viewed as a conspiracy theorist to read the multiple conflicting alternative narratives that Murray has pushed at different times (that the implicated Russians were telling the truth about going to England for the weekend to see Salisbury cathedral and it's racist to assume otherwise, that they were probably lying because they were a gay couple involved in the dodgy supplements trade, that they were probably meeting the Skripals but were probably Ukrainian, that there's no reason whatsoever to connect Russia with the assassination of Russian defectors using a Russian intelligence modus operandi and it's probably Israel instead)
I'm not sure I believe everything he writes, but some of it certainly is interesting. EG he thinks Belingcat is a front for Western Intelligence services.
Woolwich Crown Court, which hosts Belmarsh Magistrates Court […] is designed with no other purpose than to exclude the public. Attached to a prison on a windswept marsh far from any normal social centre, an island accessible only through navigating a maze of dual carriageways
The court/prison site is not on a marsh, it is not an island. It is situated in a residential neighbourhood of London, about 15km from the city centre. There are three bus lines stopping at the front entrance.

Note that Craig Murray is a conspiracy theorist who insisted, for a long time, that the Salisbury poisoning was a false flag.

Has anyone produced any evidence otherwise? The whole incidents press and government narrative was exceptionally odd.

Can't edit anymore but would like this addition:

Huh, wow, those are some pretty massive holes in the "official" narrative.
I'm not sure I'd call him a conspiracy theorist for this, isn't it normal that the public aren't told the true progression of events for "Spy" stuff?
