He told us his story when we covered Vietnam and all the true stories he experienced (w a waiver slip ofc). Still tho he was the nicest man I've ever known. He laughed and joked every day (hed pop wheelies in his wheel chair when I called out) despite being in pain from shrapnel and came to class with a smile, even in bad times.

How can anything someone says without evidence (which was taken by the government) be trusted.

David McBride's case was last seriously debated in parliament on Nov 13 2023 which was the same day that his trial started. A motion was held to petition the attorney general to use his power to stop this prosecution which was lost 12 to 43. The primary concern from objecting MPs was that as politicians they didn't want to be seen to be making a politically motivated intervention in the justice system. Australians need to put more pressure on their MPs to do something about his case. He actually has support from a decent number of MPs who want to do more to support whistleblowers like him.

And the fact that that "war hero" or whatever, the golden boy, was suing others for 40 millions $ and ended up showing his true colors in court yet nothing was done to keep this dangerous psychopath off the streets is... Words lack to describe my disgust of this world. Politics and powerful people are despicable. This man wanted to dance with his daughter. He wanted to do the right thing by letting war crimes be known outside of their little cocoon of secrets. Thank you for sharing his story. It's going to stay with me for a long time, as have been all the videos I've watched from this channel.

[@rhyscooper3693]

$40 million was the cost of running the defamation lawsuit, not how much he was claiming as damages in that suit. Running a suit shouldn't cost more than is possibly claimed, this is partly why our courts are backed up for years - cashed up litigants. Entire families would not make that amount of money in their lifetimes. I think it's a gross waste of our collective resources to spend that much to defend the "reputation" of a single war criminal (and still fail). Individuals can be permanently mentally and physically disabled from an intentionally violent and torturous act and the victim wouldn't get near this kind of pay out. Defamation laws in Australia are profoundly classist to suggest that one man's reputation is worth more than another's permanent disability or death, or the lifetime incomes of groups of people.

You can do it yourself, download copies of every video to a hard drive, put them on the internet archive, and disconnect your hard drive. Michael West Media is also a good channel, though they focus more on the ‘basics’ rather than the extreme corruption and villainy currently at the heart of western civilisation.

They're simping really hard for the Soviets' imperialist invasion of a supposedly socialist and friendly country where they assassinated Afghanistan's president and replaced him with a puppet dictator before the US even got involved - there's nothing independent about that.

[@LegacyCatalyst]

What angers me the most is that I was never taught this in any history class I’ve ever taken. They never told us that the U.S. funded terrorist organizations. They never even told us that Australia was in the war. I am very disappointed in the U.S.’s education system, and I will be looking into all of this further on my own. Thank you for bringing all of this to public attention!

[@Boy_Boy]

No worries at all mate, I'm glad you're looking into it! I've listed all our sources in the video description, there are some really good books in there if you're interested.

[@reed6514]

I suggest declassified u.s. documents. There's a lengthy set on Bay of Pigs, and probably on this one as well, and surely on many other horrendous things. The u.s. government admits in these documents that they've done these horrible things. So you don't have to take the Press's word for it. In the Bay of Pigs documents they explicitly state that the u.s. wants to install a "provincial government" that is "controlled by CIA" and "approved by State".

[@Cowloverdude]

I was born overseas but grew up in the US and attended public schools here got the same bs it’s so ridiculous yes I’m sorry I’m Russian born but the propaganda just spoon fed to young minds and in official important institutions like schools??? I learned early how much bs and whitewashing there is. I learned for the first time ever a couple weeks ago the Russian Empire’s involvement and assistance to the US in gaining independence from Britain. I have NEVER seen that in any curriculum here lol are you kidding me Pearson would have a visit from men in suits in a millisecond. And I graduated hs over a decade ago.

[@i1uvpreppyxo887]

What was untruthful in the Four Corners story? kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5etk3acqLljrKs It's statements like those made in this video stating that David's intention was to expose crimes by Australian soldiers that are dubious... not the Four Corners program.

[@Studio23Media]

[@ImogenBunting]

@@i1uvpreppyxo887 I suppose that’s why David McBride commented thanking Jordies. Four Corners took a very different side of the story and concerns than McBride did. They took an award for journalism, they took the information, they twisted the concerns to protect the leadership and then they threw their source, the whistleblower, under the bus. Protect their sources? Yeah right. 🤦‍♀️

Hahahaha both brilliant and also desperately needed! Although I don't think the drug dogs should be punished (although they are order-followers, they lack the comprehension skills to understand what they're really doing), but the concept is better than anything Hollywood has put out in the past 10 years, and it actually has some educational value.

​@juliana.x0x0 I think that you could easily anthropomorphize the dogs, and show that some are immoral in their actions. That would be an interesting movie for sure.

I was in Afgahnistan during the 2010 and 2011 on Op Slipper. We'd heard of kill lists. One night on a OP, we hear Task Force 66 (SF rotation) swoop in to the AO under the cover of darkness and light up a qala down the road. The next day we would head out the check the scene in the morning. While out Intel officer and platoon commander went in to get details. We waited outside the the local kids. Now, I know kids lie, I'm now a school teacher, but the detail those kids told us about what went on and how things went happened shocked us match exactly the type of stories. Even then, in country, we knew something wasn't right about what they (SF) were operating.
