and that the reporter of the panama papers got fucking car bombed
Fun fact: Malta's entry in Eurovision this year was the fail daughter of the disgraced political/business family dynasty that are implicated in the murder.
they all shot themselves twice in the back of the head while inside of a burning car
I’m almost convinced that if you really wanna know the first half of what’s going on listen to right wing conspiracy theories. They’ll give you the first part but then draw insane conclusions from it
Honestly just don't listen to libs is probably a good rule of thumb
Thankfully however, the adults are in charge and are taking it very seriously.
wait, what?
the death-drive it revealed in people made it the most revealing event in my lifetime, even more than Bush getting re-elected in 04.
can't wait for the next insane world event to reveal it even harder
Expecting the US to declare war on New York and California when we get Prez DeSantis
Remember when everyone found out that celebrities bribe institutions to treat their kids better?
Yeah me either.

To be fair people were charged but it doesn't seem to have made anyone think "hmm maybe there are separate rules for rich people in this country"
If some poor family offered literally anything to anyone to increase their chances of admission, everyone involved would be locked up for the rest of their lives with half the country calling for the death penalty.
These guys just have to suck it up and stay in """jail""" for like a week and then say I'm sorry, paying a fine that amounts to what they earn in the time it takes them to take a shit.
They convicted a woman for lying about her zip code to get her kid into the better school in town.
Media is biased against women when it comes to these things for sure. If it were all males who were named we probably never would have heard about it.
That changes nothing however, fuck these parasites stealing normal kids futures.
edit: to be more clear I guess what makes me so heated about this compared to all the other BS is that it WAS widely reported in EVERY news outlet. "serious" and tabloid, but nobody really seemed to care.
I think the thing is the target audience for news are people who share that same extreme anxiety to make sure their kids are able to launder money into merit and have a "respectable" place in society. So it's less of a don't care than a "i don't want to think about that because i would do the same" lol
This is one of those situations where hard labor in the mines is almost entirely justified
Well, Biden added more facilities so we could 'house them more humanely', and his admin got a Supreme Court ruling that permitted indefinite detention of migrants (which was what they wanted).
Ed. Oh shit I forgot the MONUMENTAL change they did; migrants can no longer be called 'aliens' in official government documents per some executive order iirc.
Hillary's emails. Trump support no longer needs a material cause and liberals moved on because they don't fully understand what happened. It's not that important but it has been forgotten despite being a central talking point for a yearish
Reality Winner went to prison for leaking classified documents but Hillary got off scot-free. The DoJ determined it would not be in the national interest to prosecute her. Well fucking duh, she was their next president of choice.
It lasted like a total of a week before they started running stories of how the poor Afghans were being oppresed and starved by the evil Taliban, but also that we shouldn't do anything to help them, like take in refugees.
the country is now on the edge of universal poverty since the US "nation building" project just made Afghanistan incredibly reliant on foreign aid. Aid was like 75% of the annual income and 40% of GDP, all of which was revoked overnight when the Taliban took over. Then for good measure the US stole all the savings of the Afghan people (and gave it to stupid fucking 9/11 survivors, something the Taliban literally had no involvement in) and sanctioned them so hard they can't conduct international trade with anyone. The empire was humiliated militarily, now they are trying to starve this nation into submission.
Another crime that must be paid for :amerikkka:
it was longer than 7 years now but do yall think seal team 6 really killed bin laden?
apparently the helmet cam footage went out before they entered the building and that famous situation room pic of hillary gasping i think was supposed to be from that raid but i could swear that pic was proven staged. then they released some photoshopped image of bin laden's face in all the news outlets which i saw the 2 pics that were merged to make it and then they said they threw the body into the ocean. i never saw confirmation but in like 2002 multiple international news outlets were reporting that bin laden died on dialysis. and then years later they made a movie to propagandize it called zero dark thirty. i thought i was going crazy thinking about this a few months back and then i saw somebody on here posted some links and i felt validated. the whole thing is sus af to me.
he released videos in 2004, and lots of alleged audiotapes. you'd need to be fluent to analyse that all for authenticity ig but it'd probably be a bigger deal if these were possibly faked.
is the actual story probably more embarrassing? i mean fuck they told us one of their helicopters went down with no inclement conditions or hostile fire lmao. they probably committed crimes or goofed real bad, & the ensuing coverup necessitated the incongruities. can't release cam footage of yankee soldiers desecrating bodies, killing civilians & yelling slurs yknow
Didn't Seymour Hersch write a story that basically alleged that the mission was to take Osama alive in Pakistan covertly, interrogate him, and then stick him in a car in Afghanistan and drone strike it in order not to publicly implicate Pakistan who were supposed to be an ally?
I'm not 100% sold on that but I could absolutely see that going out the window when they crashed their stealth helicopter and instead just reverted to lighting up everyone in the compound. I could totally believe zealous Navy Seals all wanting to be the guy who popped Bin Laden taking their chance regardless of the original mission too, but I'd be equally unsurprised if they captured him and tortured him to death before doing the whole smoke and mirrors about his burial etc.
Makes me think of how the US supported the South Vietnamese president being couped in 62, but then instead of getting him to the US alive one of the captors just shot him in the back of an APC
iirc the rock even announced it about half an hour before the white house did
I’ll never forget where I was when The Rock told us they finally got bin laden
So the seals have a grotesque practice calling 'canoeing', aiming to achieve a specific shape of head wound. In addition a number of the seals did not follow proper procedure and raced up the compound to claim the killing shot (there are multiple claimants, each with their own book 'proving' they are the one that did it).
Either of these would explain why they wouldn't want cam footage of the raid.
yeah that "canoeing" literally involves sticking your high power rifle point blank against the victim's forehead and blowing their brains out. Usually done after the target is dead too as a "calling card". Sick shit done by psychopaths. They probably mangled his body so bad they could only identify with DNA, then dumped it in the ocean before anyone else could see what happened.
That said they probably actually killed him. Hard to hide from the empire as the #1 public enemy terrorist. He only lasted as long as he did because our "ally" Pakistan was providing cover for him.
Yeah, the fact the Seals went into "Not an ISI safehouse we swear" and lost an aircraft and advertised the fact means that it was likely a legit raid and all the coincidences are a mixture of actual coincidence and some major fuckups in the raid they don't want to advertise.
what happened to all those billions we've been endlessly paying to get basic internet throughout the country
Time became a fucking wormhole in 2020 and I’m not back out of it yet
Glad it's not just me. I've never been great at year to year time scales but everything since 2020 has felt like a complete blur
