    For more perusal look at posts 3051-3057 in this thread on the SRP board where a poster has given a breakdown on the direct eyewitness evidence presented in the defamation case...

    Society/Culture Victoria Cross winner Ben Roberts-Smith - Allegations of war crimes - Now arrested.

    There’s quite a few “who served” who judge BRS to be a war criminal. There’s also a lot “who served” who quietly, or not so quietly, don’t see a problem with what he did. Because the military, like society, has a cross section of different people. A 19yr old infantryman who gets his news from...

    WAR CRIMES - Afghanistan * Ben Roberts Smith charged

    You remember a show called Australia’s Most Wanted? “Call this number now and if you have information that leads to the arrest of the perpetrator of this case you will be rewarded” I guess all those crooks who were arrested and convicted on the basis of that show need to be immediately released...

    Society/Culture Victoria Cross winner Ben Roberts-Smith - Allegations of war crimes - Now arrested.

    It’s just because most of the populist right wing has jumped on the BRS bandwagon then Kennett needs to as well. It’s a quasi litmus test. The only one I can credit is (and I’m gritting my teeth as I write this) Andrew Bolt, who while saying the outcome of the case is to be determined and BRS...

    Operation Epstein Fury: US/Israel attack on Iran

    There was an unconfirmed reports about some Iranian ships being “interdicted” near Chabahar port on the far eastern edge of the Iranian coastline, near the Pakistani border which is far from the Strait of Hormuz. Chabahar only ships out about 1 million tonnes of cargo a year (for comparison...

    Operation Epstein Fury: US/Israel attack on Iran

    Oh you mean the 1991 war where the Yanks had to stop evil Saddam from taking all the Kuwaiti or Saudi oil who were propping up the petrodollar, or the 1980 war where they were then friends with Saddam and got him to invade Iran because their puppet in Tehran had been ousted and wasn’t give to...

    WAR CRIMES - Afghanistan * Ben Roberts Smith charged

    Pretty much none of what you’ve written is correct. They were originally tasked with long range reconnaissance however they weren’t satisfied so got given more direct action raids. As the history of the war it wasn’t like that at all. A lot of the time there weren't even shots fired, they...

    Operation Epstein Fury: US/Israel attack on Iran

    Then why is the U.S. Navy afraid to approach anywhere near the Iranian coast? Why aren’t the US military operating out of FOBs in the GCC? How was Iran able to take down 3 US aircraft on that “rescue mission”? How did they take out an AWACS sitting on the tarmac in Saudi Arabia and how were...

    Operation Epstein Fury: US/Israel attack on Iran

    Be very careful of Marc Thiessen, who wrote that article. He’s a former George W and Rumsfeld neocon who also wrote that Trump should threaten to kill Iranian negotiators. All of his opinion columns during the war are kissing Trump’s ass or encouraging him to be more violent

    Operation Epstein Fury: US/Israel attack on Iran

    The point being the media ran with a “A CHINESE SHIP WAS TURNED BACK BY TRUMP’S BLOCKADE!!!” story without checking any facts Very poor reporting, but given the level of reporting in this war that’s expected

    Society/Culture Victoria Cross winner Ben Roberts-Smith - Allegations of war crimes - Now arrested.

    Yes I have a thought that could be the case. Not that the burden of proof is different, if you have a look at Besanko and the Appeals court findings they say according to the Briginshaw standard (serious claims require serious evidence) the findings against BRS were very strong, in fact may...

    Society/Culture Victoria Cross winner Ben Roberts-Smith - Allegations of war crimes - Now arrested.

    There was an AFR article out saying the top SC in the country charges upward of $50k per day; and Walker and Moses are in his league so yeah it’s probable. His legal defence was estimated at $25-30 million in total. Point being for his defamation case BRS had top SC’s none of us here could...

    Society/Culture Victoria Cross winner Ben Roberts-Smith - Allegations of war crimes - Now arrested.

    I won’t post it but there’s a disgusting meme doing the rounds of social media with a silhouette of BRS in front of an Australian flag kicking an Afghan man off a cliff with the caption “I Stand By Ben Roberts Smith”. Like I’ve said previously it isn’t a case of his supporters believing he’s...
