Yup. Fox news is working that point. I walked into the living room this morning and mom, who as she ages is turning more and more into a fox news controlled p-zombie, was there defending the honor of this guy, how it was youthful indiscretion. Then she goes back to getting angry about the continued existence of transwomen after tucker tells her they need to be disposed of.

The kicker? The reason was because someone accused him of "doxxing", and even though nobody could find anything he did wrong to properly hit him, Fritz decided to ban him for a several week old post.

I checked out of DND along time ago.

I remember when they liked prester jane.

I also have some vague memory that bellingcat/brown moses got money from a group conected to a think tank, that was connected to the CIA, which is a front for the lizard people.

Or maybe I just mixing up fevored dreams like when glenn beck brought up vilerat being a goon and the reason for benginmen gazi

Cringe or not it seems pretty messed up to try and paint genuine public interest journalism as doxxing, particularly when the the public interest in question is a countries genuine security and national secrets.

I agrwe though brown moses is very much up his own arse. You are right he had to admit he got paid by the CIA for information on more than one occasion I believe

Yeah Brown Moses has always been a bit of a fart sniffer but I don't really get why he got banned because someone else posted his tweets where he brags about how good his team are at snitching. I feel like the established punishment for being a bit cringe is getting dunked on every time you post or get mentioned.

Plus he may have played a part in getting a Nazi arrested which I feel is something that should be lauded for if anything because gently caress Nazis.

Well there were newspaper tycoons absolutely flinging poo poo at each other two times a day in the morning and evening gazettes in the OP ED pages and just the general tones of the papers.

So in the Yellow Journalism days, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos would be William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer. One of those people has a journalistic award in their name, and he was still a shithead plutocrat only out to exploit sensationalism to turn a higher profit.

Yup, its this.

A good majority are just putting on their best somber posting faces to raise 'serious concerns' - its a long-running attempt to muddy the waters and score a perceived win against their ideological (forums) enemies. Posting is praxis dontcha know.

Once they eventually get him perma-ed due to wearing the admins down, they'll move on to the next target.

None of them would be raising these issues if he was posting evidence of CIA crimes to Greyzone and RT and the like. They'd be cheering on his cringeworthy egoposting, rather than laughing at his pathetic dorky rear end

He got banned because a clique of terminally online posters dedicated to destroying their posting enemies whined at the moderators under the thinnest of pretenses to get him banned, and they acquiesced like they do every single time this clique does this because it is easier than dealing with their bullshit. This is a long running pattern at this point. This is exactly what lead to this very thread being closed a few weeks back.

The guy ostensibly got banned for posting a Twitter link to a bunch of AI generated images in the AI generated images thread. And then a bunch of C-SPAM posters showed up to that thread to gloat.

yeah but those were rich robber barons calling each other names on print and not having any real consequence on the war itself, low stakes but somewhat high reward,

whereas today it's dudes making a bit more than minimum wage, trolling each other on forums dedicated to video game discussions and getting SO MAD they leak some serious documents truly changing course on events on the other side of the planet.

really high stakes and extremely low reward. It's honestly very scary.

I guess a bunch of Finnish yahoos felt left out in all this treason going around and decided to do some themselves.

Iltasanomat.fi posted:

Three parliamentary candidates are suspected of treason
The three people suspected of treason ran for parliamentary seats, but did not get elected.

The Finnish Police is demanding the arrest of three people for revealing security secrets. The crime is classified as a crime of treason.

The arrest demand will be handled in the Oulu district court on Friday. Police suspect that the trio have collected and published on their social media channels security material, which is classified top secret.

The arrest warrants were given to 45 year old twins Mikko Antero Vapa and Marko Heikki Vapa, as well as Anne Maria Oikarinen, 37.

:siren: The brothers under arrest warrant have had a shared company which operated as a blood service. The company claimed it could measure a person's sin from their blood. :siren: According to address information the brothers shared an address in Keminmaa.

Both ran parliamentary campaigns, Mikko on the rolls of "The Crystal Party" in the Oulu election district, Marko for the "Power Belongs to the People" party in the Lapland district. Neither got elected to the parliament. According to the two, both have won Finnish championships in multiple sports.

Mikko Vapa's website describes him as a health technology entrepreneur. He has a master's degree in information technology. Recently he has studied data systems at the Tampere University of Applied Sciences.

He has a military background in military intelligence, and holds the position of first lieutenant. According to their websites, he is enganged to the woman who has also been ordered under arrest. She also ran for the parliament on the rolls of The Crystal Party, but did not get elected.

On her party's website Anne Oikarinen lists her education as a construction engineer, and a clothing artesan. She felt that her calling was to do things that would benefit Finland. She has operated a YouTube channel.

- In these days it is crucial for alternative medias to bring out the truth, because sadly the mainstream media refuses to do so, she wrote.

Marko Vapa has hoped, among other things, that Finland withdraw its Nato application, and exit from the European Union. His education is listed as a master of physical sciences.

According to the police, the suspected crime was not committed in an official capacity. The police suspect that the trio have published information that is liable to cause severe danger to Finland's national defence and security, says criminal inspector Jukka Nurmenniemi.

Let's hear a bit about those parties:

"The Crystal Party describes itself in the party register thusly: 'The Crystal Party wants to conduct politics with pure hearts and open minds. The party holds a level of higher awareness, which considers humans as unique and cognisant individuals as well as a part of a universal consciousness. [...] The party opposes membership to the EU, questions the existence of COVID-19, wants Finland to consider alternative treatments as equal to medical care, opposes vaccines and wants to eliminate political parties."

"Power Belongs to the People gained a profile as a party opposing COVID-19 and COVID restrictions. It has a christian revival style, and its chair Turtiainen has spoken of 'the end times'. The party opposes Finland's Nato membership and the party has been described in the media as a tool of Russian propaganda."

Well I'm sure we can never guess which foreign power these three morons were doing treason for! Truly a mystery.

Don't sleep on the description of the business two of these idiots ran.

(Ano Turtiainen is a Finnish far right idiot who left our alt right True Finns because they weren't far right enough for him, despite them opposing basic human rights for anyone darker than December snow and for anyone who isn't a cishet man. He looks exactly how you'd suspect.)
