6. Saying "its all bs" isn't an argument or validation of point of view - it's BS and a cop-out

How can anyone take you seriously if you don't validate your arguments?

making the claim of a secret coup, not those saying that said claim is BS (because there's no proof to back up said claim).

Voltaire Network is a little loony (ie, 9/11 Truthers), and I wouldn't trust anything coming from that site. As a matter of fact, there is not ONE reliable source on the subject if you google "operation jericho obama". Every link I found was written by Thierry Meyssan, head truther for Voltaire.

8. The BOP is situational. The OP is making a claim without evidence. He must rebut evidence

submitted if he wants to considered credible on this subject. It's not enough to say that Voltaire is "a little loony" and to brand it as a CT site - we need to see evidence from your side or we'll conclude you have none. Make the effort or get off the stage.

They, and anyone promoting that, has to back it up. You don't make a claim with NO proof then tell the one calling you out to prove it. The op is right, you are wrong. Show some proof or quit spreading bullshit.

the guy who made the claim about the US caused coup, also believes NATO and the US ordered the attacks on Charlie Hebdo, that 9/11 was an inside job, that US agents were trying to kill him (and that he would release the agents names, but that never happened). He publishes and pushes unsubstantiated bullshit. If you want to push something he says, it's YOUR job to back it up with facts. Not mine, and not the OP.

11. None of this is On Point. We'll have to conclude that there is no evidence to back up the OP

by rebutting the information linked.
