Really?

Care to justify the following?

Two young Afghan boys walking down a road, and are picked up by a patrol.

Their throats are slit and bodies weighed down with rocks and dumped in A river.

‘’Your ‘don’t want to know’ is the enabling sh*t that this country exudes like sh*t from a broken sewer.

Social media is full of people justifying this; what an absolute disgrace.

I’m not justifying or condoning anything, I’d rather not be exposed to this type of stuff, I have enough to stress and worry about. I’m not going to drown myself in all the miseries of the world. These type abhorrent things are pretty common scenarios in war zones unfortunately. That’s the reality, lets not kid ourselves here. Everyone knows it goes on by all sides. Are you honestly shocked our good ol’ aussie troops got up to no good? I’m sure our soldiers on the front line have their own horror stories. It’s not a footy match out there unfortunately, innocents get killed, torture is dished out for ‘fun’, women get r*ped, houses are burnt, lives are destroyed. I had a mate that fought in the Balkan war. Some of the stuff he saw and experienced is 100 times worse than your above example. War is barbaric and brings the worst out in humanity.

I was just listening to a journalist called Whitney Webb. Anyone else familiar with her work? Really interesting and somewhat scary the stuff she’s reporting on about the 4th revolution and the tech companies ties with governments.

She’s done her research. I just want to know how credible she is.

Haven't checked out the link you posted, but can give you a little background on her employer, MintPress News. Political bias-wise, most of their stuff leans a little left but not too heavily. I know they have in the past come under fire for copying and pasting stuff straight from Russian media outlets that are known to employ bias and propaganda. (Off the back of that, MintPress News were named on the PropOrNot list as a 'fake news' site.) They aren't what I'd call a super reliable source, but at the same time they're not terrible. Kind of in the middle of the pack.

Probably a case of 'a little more research required'. (By you, not her.)

Was it a dropbear?

That's more of an Australian thing.

But I do recall reading a story once about someone who ran over and killed a Dropbear in their car.

Got done for vehicular manslaughter.

Was it a dropbear?

I had to look that up! But no, just a regular garden variety black bear. We've got so many of them where I live that they have their own society!

First time I heard of her she was a guest on Tim Dillons podcast talking about the merging of government and tech companies for what’s been dubbed the 4th revolution. Very interesting, but I just wondered how credible she was. Certainly she spoke with authority and referenced what individuals and companies have done and are planning on doing.

I checked out her Twitter feed all she’s been going on about is the COVID-19 vaccine, which has made me wonder if she’s just a conspiracy theory nut or legit.

the owners are Arab American, who set it up as voice against the ME wars, which automatically puts them in any fake news category for American establishment,
Its why using prop or not as a verifier of truth is fraught with danger..


Basically a good practice is reading the news and seeing if they have any declassification docs or wikileaks docs they reference, that way you can easily verify the original source for yourself.

Don't think most people realise how big this mob is;
. BHP
. Qantas
. Westfield

Aus, and esp. Melb. would look a very different place without them.

I got caught up in the latest wave of Facebook disabling accounts at random with no explanation. Actually frightening how much of my life was on there, but this could be a blessing in disguise.

Here's one.

Why does the bottom half of your burger bun always get eaten quicker than the top half, he ?

Think on that.
