news
Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
-
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.

A nation that has glorified Mossad blackmail (and its operators facilitating the act), which has supercharged all the worst aspects of Gladio? No way.
I don't know how there's people being like "uhhh this is antisemitic sweaty" when it's the fucking Jerusalem post. There's evidence that Gladio had operators in the Vatican engage in immoral acts on camera before they could be brought in, that's a ritual. It doesn't need to be all candles and blood of babies and hailing Belzebub or whatever shit you think when you read the word, that's all you.
There's also a long history of 20th and 21st Century fascist groups combining violent ritual and pedophilia both as an expression of ideology or as potential bonding / blackmail for members. The Order of the Solar Temple and it's precursor, the Children Of God, more recently the Order of Nine Angels etc.
They literally claim there's a ritual to make people forget the abuse. Please read the article first.
I did read the article.
Ok? It wouldn't surprise me that they would try, MKUltra spent about a decade doing outlandish shit (abunch of of which is still classified) to attempt mind control, interrogation and memory wiping.
You seem to be working under the assumption that if you find it ridiculous it can't be true. Some of these things are intentionally weird, as in the process of Mafia guys being made which, again, bled into Gladio and Gladio bled into it. The cruelty against animals, the participation of other children in the abuse, that's not even unique. Look into La Luz del Mundo.
Why would you give such a huge benefit of the doubt to a state that films classrooms full of children being "taught" that Arabs are subhumans who stole the land and would kill every single Jewish kid if you allow them to reproduce?
It is ridiculous. It is silly, and its silly to take that claim seriously.
Go get the fuckers that trafficked these people. But I'm not gonna pretend that sex trafficking ceremonies are anything but a TV episode, especially one filled to the brim with antisemitic tropes
Oh, so I suppose the many times it has historically happened by the hand of the guys that made the Mossad's playbook is just imaginary shit?
Again, good luck out there.
The claim is a ritual which is "meant" to make them forget, no claim of it actually existing. I mean they are talking about it while giving testimony about what they were made to endure.
They also say it involved drugs, which could be part of said ritual and help to try and make people forget. I don't think anyone has enough information from the article to be making confident assumptions about what exactly happened because there isn't enough information in the article, full stop.
