My posts about @Partisangirl are not personal, but she is the most vocal anti-Tate reporter on Twitter.
So it’s important to highlight the lack of rigour in the reporting which is causing opinions/biases to be considered, facts.
This thread is about the US woman. #FreeTopG /1
SG’s narrative is ‘believe all women’. This is a tool used to silence men. Such as when Assange was accused of rape. The irony is that SG, quite rightly, is a vocal advocate of Assange.
For SG, Assange was accused by two women, so throw away the key. vox.com/platform/amp/i…’. /2
In society, rape charges are used to take men down such as Trump, Kavanagh, Assange.
For sportsmen they lose playing time in a short career, until they clear their name e.g Trevor Bauer. Innocent until proven guilty, but not in the West or Syrian Girl.

This post is the most brazen. ‘I’m not at liberty to give the evidence’ but I’ll post without evidence to attack @Cobratate.
Who would want to be reported on in this manner?
The irony is that when she has disclosed this ‘evidence’ it infers the opposite of her claim. /4
One of SG’s claims is that there is ‘overwhelming’ evidence. She claims that a woman from the US was kidnapped and was present during the raid on 12 April. But is this true?
What evidence has she presented and should one make a judgement based on her unsubstantiated claims? /5
So let’s look at the evidence and information presented by Syrian Girl.
She claims that the woman was present during the raid on 12 April.
If one looks at the press release from the DIICOT this information is not found. diicot.ro/mass-media/382… /6
But then maybe the official DIICOT report from 12 April mentions that the US woman was present during the raid?
The answer to this is that it does not.

A source close to the Tates, confirmed she wasn’t staying in the Tate’s compound and nor was she present during the raid.
SG claims that she was present during the raid. We are trying to disseminate the info, so we need to see the evidence and SG has not furnished any proof. /8
So we have eyewitness testimony from a person present during the first raid when the US woman was in Romania.
He claims she was not in the compound during the raid and was staying in the hotel.
On the other hand we have Syrian Girl’s claim, with no evidence. /9
Now, in a Twitter space SG claimed she had evidence that the US women had been kidnapped.
She then provides a 16 second snippet in an attempt to prove her allegation.
But even this claim, on the balance of probability does not show kidnapping. /10
One again SG has used a snippet from a longer video that has been available on YouTube for at least 4 months.
You can see the US woman entering and leaving the complex. On the balance of probabilities this video shows freedom as opposed to kidnapping. /11
There may be evidence in the future, and we will evaluate the data fairly. But this thread clearly demonstrates that a significant number of accusation/posts are being made without any substantial evidence.
I may be a dreamer but I want @ggreenwald level journalism #freetopg /12
