I think this Amnesty International report that's just come out is worth a bit of deeper attention, as you can bet yer rear end it will be used as a bludgeon by the anti-China/pro-US crowd in the coming days and weeks.

https://xinjiang.amnesty.org/

My initial reaction is to keep in mind that AI was originally founded as a UK intelligence asset and has historically taken a pro-West line including spreading the classic "soldiers taking babies from incubators" lie used to justify the Iraq war, so they're not exactly an unbiased source of information - but despite this bias they still don't go so far as to call anything a genocide. In fact Ctrl-F-ing the word "genocide" in the full report returns only one reference article from The Economist titled "Genocide is the wrong word for the horrors of Xinjiang".
Anyone have any more thoughts or insights into AI or this report?

108 people were interviewed for this report: 55 former detainees of internment camps in Xinjiang (37 men and 16 women), 15 other people who lived in or visited Xinjiang since 2017, and 48 family members of people from Xinjiang who are currently missing or detained. The majority of the interviewees were Kazakh, a minority were Uyghurs, and a small number were Kyrgyz, or Han Chinese.

wait what???

This is the ultimate form of a defectors grift. Having exhausted all that they could from stories of how insane their native country was, they instead coax the internal political divisions of a completely unrelated country to gain notoriety and then money. Its like Diamond and Silk on steroids.

so is everywhere on this forum outside of C-SPAM running with the genocide consensus? Like even after all this obvious stuff has come .h out to deconstruct the basic zenz birthrate poo poo as being extremely suspect or just outright bad math? I thought these nerds loved to talk about data and stuff, but I guess enough guardian pieces have been written that it seems to basically be canon now.

no the GBS thread is currently calling all Chinese people liars because I guess bone splinters in food is a thing?

nobody in those threads gives two shits about China except like the dozen goons that never stop talking about romance of the three kingdoms. it�s all just �let us �discuss� the most recent piece of western propaganda� because they know nothing of Chinese history or the cultures of China. they just want to appear smart to the foggy bottom shitheads by mastering the �news�

like look at their �media criticism thread� that has absolutely zero discussion or mention of anything resembling source criticism. instead you have this garbage from a dipshit that couldn�t pass the bar

quote:

4. Break the �Pentagon Papers Principle:� Focus on the why in addition to the what. Make the disinformation campaign as much a part of the story as the email or hacked information dump. Change the sense of newsworthiness to accord with the current threat. Since Daniel Ellsberg�s 1971 leak of the Pentagon Papers, journalists have generally operated under a single rule: Once information is authenticated, if it is newsworthy, publish it. How it was obtained is of secondary concern to the information itself. In this new era, when foreign adversaries like Russia are hacking into political campaigns and leaking material to disrupt our democracy and to favor one candidate, journalists need to abandon this principle

Raskolnikov38: Mar 3, 2007; We were somewhere around Manila when the drugs began to take hold

5. Build your news organization�s muscle for determining the origin and nature of viral information. A responsible newsroom would never take the authenticity of leaked or other non-public content at face value because the authenticity of the content goes to the very heart of its newsworthiness

the only legit sources are CIA press releases

The Iranian vote total looks like it was about 48%, with about a 14% blank / purposefully void ballots. Raisi ended up getting 62% of the vote.

Pretty dogshit considering they usually have a 70% turnout normally and void / blank ballots are normally less than 3% historically

do they have absentee ballots? I�d imagine after COVID not many people are either happy or willing to go to polling places

Not sure why you insist on wanting to buy into the sabre rattling bullshit arguments of neocolonialists.

The US created the situation which led to the plane being shotdown, they are the ones which should be paying any reparations.

the US caused the situation of the air defense net being switched on but im p sure its the fault of the SAM commander who suddenly saw a single blip appear over downtown tehran, hundreds of miles away from the airspace intrusions, and launched on his own authority
