"A United States Marine Corps (USMC) helicopter crew chief says Australian special forces shot and killed a bound Afghan prisoner after being told he would not fit on the US aircraft coming to pick them up." #auspol#WarCrimes#ausnews
"He says the Americans only had room on the aircraft for six.
"And the pilot said, 'That's too many people, we can't carry that many passengers.' And you just heard this silence and then we heard a pop. And then they said, 'OK, we have six prisoners'."
This was in 2012. They can keep this bullshit hidden away for years and years. We're lucky if it ever comes out at all.
Short thread on libertarian commentator @TFL1728 because he's been making false claims that I work for the Chinese government and that my husband is an intelligence agent. I hate doing this, but that's how it's gotta be sometimes.
I've been getting Tom's flying monkeys in my mentions since he took some bitchy pot shots at me in a video today.
One of those flying monkeys drew my attention to a new video where Tom calls me a stupid fucking cunt and claims, on no basis whatsoever, that my significant other is an intelligence agent and that he's still unconvinced that I'm not a China propagandist.
The new president-elect of Bolivia, Luis Arce, has told the Spanish international news agency EFE that he intends to restore the nation's relations with Cuba, Venezuela and Iran.
This reverses the policies of the US-backed coup regime which immediately began closing embassies, kicking out doctors and severing relations with those nations after illegally seizing power last year. dw.com/en/bolivia-cut…
Bolivia has reversed the US-backed coup which saw its president Evo Morales ousted from the lithium-rich nation after a landslide victory last year. Another landslide victory for a previous member of Morales' cabinet Luis Arce has restored power to MAS. theintercept.com/2020/10/19/bol…
Contrary to what a recent Guardian headline asserts this was not a "stunning comeback" for MAS but a widely anticipated repudiation of the false claims that were spun by western narrative managers that Morales had rigged the election.
‘The Emails Are Russian’ Will Be The Narrative, Regardless Of Facts Or Evidence
"Joe Biden could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and the mainstream press would crucify any journalist who so much as tweeted about it." caityjohnstone.medium.com/the-emails-are…
Fight it all you want, but there’s nothing you can do. “The emails are Russian” is going to be the official dominant narrative in mainstream political discourse, and there’s nothing you can do to stop is. Resistance is futile.
This is happening. It’s following the same formula all the other fact-free Russia hysteria narratives have followed. The same media tour by pundits and political operatives saying with no evidence but very assertive voices that Russia is most certainly behind this occurrence.
No Real Change Can Come If Speech Is Restricted By Monopolistic Oligarchs
"People will continue to be successfully propagandized as long as a critical mass are prevented from viewing ideas & information which contradict establishment-friendly narratives." caitlinjohnstone.substack.com/p/no-real-chan…
In a great new article titled "Facebook and Twitter Cross a Line Far More Dangerous Than What They Censor" on the cross-platform silencing of The New York Post's publication of Hunter Biden's emails, @ggreenwald writes the following: theintercept.com/2020/10/15/fac…
Greenwald is correct. The increasingly iron-fisted internet censorship we've seen rolled out over the last four years has consistently targeted groups that are oppositional to the status quo with which monopolistic Silicon Valley megacorporations have aligned themselves.
