OT: Current Affairs and Politics

[TheRam]

Where do you start on this one?

But I just want to focus and highlight one aspect of this scam and fleecing of the British public and that is the false argument that privatisation does everything better and more efficiently then Government. This is the biggest crock of bull crap myth dribble that we continually hear from the morons who have no clue and the privatization sycophants as some sort of gospel that's come down from the sermon of the mount.

Oh by the way, we have this to look forward too when we finally dupe the public again and privatize the crap out of our water supply too.

You kinda got it right. Recognised not enough to influence THAT election. Not won’t influence any election ever. You’re not dumb, just being cheeky.

Ahhhh gotcha .... just pick n choose when to say something is influenced

 

[strider]

That’s because they are our allies.

However recently we joined forces with UK and Canada and told them that they were proper merkins. Re: what I posted about ^^^^ earlier.


The continued expansion of settlements is an obstacle to peace and negatively impacts efforts to achieve a negotiated two-state solution. We call on the Government of Israel to reverse these decisions.

We are also deeply troubled by the continued violence and loss of life in Israel and in the West Bank. We unequivocally condemn all forms of terrorism and violence against civilians, including the terrorist attack on June 20 in Eli targeting Israeli civilians. We also condemn the reprehensible and ongoing settler violence targeting Palestinians. We welcome the joint statement from the heads of the Israel Defense Forces, Israel Security Agency and the Israel Police as well as statements by other Israeli leaders condemning these acts. We call on authorities to ensure accountability for all perpetrators of violence.

The cycle of violence in Israel and the West Bank must be broken.

Ok sure mate. Foreign governments are done with influencing elections and they don’t work anyway. That’s why they’re not bothering anymore.

Trolls, China spreading Voice disinformation

Neo-Nazis, white supremacists and anti-Semitic trolls are spreading misleading and manipulative content about the referendum on social media platforms.

Morrison isn’t in charge anymore. Hence why we made the joint statement with UK and Canada ? Don’t you get how significant that was from a geopolitical standpoint?

 

[hindy111]

You seem to assume that you know more than others.

It didn't highlight anything I wasn't already aware of. I've seen Jeffrey's brother make these claims before. I seriously doubt there'd be many people on here that don't already understand the enormous power that Google has.

By the way you can't say this:


and then this:


Without sounding hypocritical.

f**king knows more then you

 

[hindy111]

Israel's response will be horrific

LOL .... you would have to be gullible as f**k if you think either side of australian politics dont just bend over for the yanks.

I suppose we aren’t very influential.

Im not saying theres no influence .... its not even just foreign - there is every chance google etc manipulate. And im sure manipulation can happen in all directions.

Hell, the yanks influence f**kin everything. They openly admit it. But thats ok. Good guys n all.

You are the fool who thinks only the ones you think are the badies manipulate.

 

[strider]

Mmmmmm.

It seems quite odd they were so heavily taken by surprise. Its been talked up how sophisticated their monitoring of the border is.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Kidnapping and killing civilians is bullshit, do they really know what they’ve unleashed?

Israel will show all of the restraint of the MAGA protesters.

Fire and fury and the rest of the world will shrug its shoulders.

True.

Maybe the scale and the ferocity of the attack was missed.

 

[Gary Gutful]

So its widely believed russia influenced the 2016 election result via large scale pursuasion on social media .... but we dont think google might be doing the similar? ... is this simply good guys vs bad guys again?

Of course it might be happening. I’d say it probably is to a degree. I think Epstein could be on to something but if he doesn’t share his data and it doesn’t stack up to scrutiny then it would be foolish to blindly believe everything he is saying. I think he’s overreaching and Jones is lapping it up.

Do we have a choice? What’s the alternative?

I was going to buy you a $16 gin next time I was in Sydney but now Im only spending $9 max.

Kind of like that weapons of mass destruction thing the conservatives went with to invade Iraq without waiting for the UN twenty years ago?
