    Well may he say trace every lead, but when the trail leads to Langley... 😎

  • Damn it. Beat me by 1 second!

  • When you're looking for reasons not to just believe her story, that says a lot more about you than it does about her.

  • Bloody hell. I thought I did well. Great job!

  • Different chants made in different countries are not relevant to "from the river to the sea" chanted in Australia. Your comment is a complete non-sequitur.

  • A CIA leaker has said that Kerr was referred to as "our man Kerr" within the CIA. And Kerr had known ties to an organisation that was secretly backed by the CIA. And it was not long before the Dismissal that the US appointed a new Ambassador to Australia, a man known as "the coupmaster" for his role in the acknowledged US-backed coups elsewhere, including Indonesia. None of these is anywhere near a smoking gun (especially since the leaker ended up defecting to the Soviets, IIRC, and may have had ulterior motives).

    You're right that the evidence is "circumstantial", though in a legal sense that isn't nearly as damning as the screenwriters of CSI and other legal/cop dramas would have you believe. Circumstantial evidence can be quite powerful in making a legal case. And I think it's a bit of an understatement to say that there is "no more evidence...than to suggest Whitlam wasn't the US' first choice." Not a smoking gun. Certainly not a sure thing. But quite a bit less of a crazy conspiracy theory than anything to do with Holt is.

    Also speaking of Holt, shout out to James "Haha Nice" on YouTube (he's also on TikTok) who's currently doing an in-depth series of videos on the whole Holt government and just how wild it was.

  • Honestly I think they just conflated Holt with Whitlam.

  • Oh sorry. I actually had to Google that just now to get it.

    Farnsy's not really my sort of music.

  • They are offended at the call to kill all Jews (how they see the phrase).

    Right but that goes to the second category. There are two groups: the performative ones and the tricked ones. Because the phrase doesn't mean "kill all Jews". That's a lie made up by Israel propaganda to justify the genocide.

    "All lives matter" was a phrase deliberately used to undermine the notion that "black lives matter". That's not what's going on here. "From the river to the sea" is the equivalent of black lives matter. It's the call for freedom against oppression.

  • I'm confused. Your comment starts with "no", and then basically restates what I said.

  • Thanks, I appreciate that. But I'm just some random white dude on the Internet. The voices we really need are more prominent figures (including politicians) who can greatly influence their followers, brave anti-zionist Jewish people who can provide a clear counterexample to Israel's false conflation, and the voices of the people directly affected by Israel's genocidal activities.
