Its team 5 anyway so they aren’t tier 1 operators so its not really that huge a deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The press were hammering him for being too chicken to meet the troops in a war zone and when he does it they invent this story about secret special forces being revealed when they're laughing in front of the cameras and getting selfies. The US media is fucked, nobody seems to be attempting independant, objective journalism anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grauniad is gonna Grauniad.The genuine “scandal” of his visit is his rampant lying to the soldiers about their pay raise. Not had one for ten years, he said. I demanded more than ten percent, he said. Neither of which was true. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think these kind of daft stories dont do the ‘media bad’ angle any harm when they could focus on the real issues. If the guy had posted a pic of him and seal team 6 or delta etc then obviously it’d be a bigger deal but he’s basically posted the equivalent of a picture with a bunch of para’s from my understanding. Most of these guys tell everyone they are seals and its only when they get to tier 1 they are supposed to be quiet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Tangential to this thread but Google have submitted to Turkey's demand that they remove a notional map of Kurdistan from Google maps. Thankfully there are others. http://www.saradistribution.com/kurdishmaps.htm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 (edited) After Trump blocked the wages of 800,000 Federal workers getting paid because Ann Coulter called him a pussy on Twitter, he's now stopped a promised wage rise of 2.1% on the grounds of "national emergency or serious economic conditions affecting the general welfare.", the conditions of which are totally down to his tariff wars and massive tax giveaway to the rich. Even his base must be catching on that he's not working for them. https://edition.cnn.com/2018/12/29/politics/trump-executive-order-federal-workers-pay-freeze/index.html?utm_term=link&utm_content=2018-12-29T16%3A00%3A21&utm_source=fbCNN&utm_medium=social Edited December 29, 2018 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the authors of the Senate Intelligence Committee report on Russian election interference have themselves been rumbled creating fake Russian accounts to influence an election and make it look like the Russians did it. Only this time the $100k spent on it, the same amount allegedly spent by the Russians to influence the 2016 election, is 'a small experiment' and too insignificant to have had an effect. It's almost as if the entire Russian meddling narrative, one of the biggest ongoing news stories for the last 2 years, was completely made up from the start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which part of Zetterlund's post do you think is wrong? New Knowledge created loads of fake profiles and used them to boost Moore. They then made false claims that Moore was being supported by the Kremlin when it was actually them which were widely reported. New Knowledge also produced a report for the Senate Intelligence Committee about election disinformation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
