Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

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 not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). 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.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

I don’t have any additional insight into or commentary to add, other than to note that it’s wild to start making investigations some 30 years after the event.

My conspiracy brain. Some of the people that might have literally pulled the trigger were so rich and powerful that the UN, etc dismissed any mention of sniper tourists as ridiculous tabloid-level rumor even though there were clear grounds to investigate.

I recall a video Bad Empanada did that talked primarily about Gaza but brought up the Bosnian genocide; he mentioned that Clinton knew there was a genocide for years, but the French government at the time wanted it to continue because they viewed a muslim country in Europe as an abomination. It stands to reason the UN dismissed it because the victims were muslim and they didn't care, or simply didn't see the perpetrators as criminals, or even that since the perpetrators were other Westerners that it looked bad and so decided to be quiet about it.
