News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Oil drives our Israel policy: New government documents reveal a very different history of America and the Middle East
It almost seems like if the history that's usually just glossed over (if it's mentioned at all in the U.S.) included the reality of the history behind most U.S. foreign policy since WWII, there would be way less support for propaganda that somehow always justifies the invasion of other countries, and coincidentally works out to make the wealthiest people at the top even more wealthy. Always at the expense of freedom and liberty for the little people below who made the mistake of existing on top of the oil (or whatever natural resources happen to be the oil of the future) those at the top wanted to exploit.
Remember when they found new fossil fuel reserves off the coast of Gaza? Trump does.
Fuck, I didn't even know about that, but definitely on point for these evil assholes. Exploit, exploit, exploit, if anybody gets in your way or calls you out on what you're doing, then they're the terrorist.
Recognised Palestinian state could develop disputed gas resources, expert says
Fucking ridiculous how these bullshit narrative control strategies meant to justify what they're doing and get the public on their side are so similar no matter where in the globe there are resources or people to exploit.
"Are you still complaining about us exploiting you? Look could things have been done differently? Who's to say? Pobody's nerfect, but you have to move on. Stop living in the past and being so reliant on everyone else. Focus on the future and pull yourself up by your bootstraps! .... Oh shit, where did you get those bootstraps? Gimme, gimme, gimme!"
Now go look up when they found new fossil fuel reserves off the coast of Ukraine.
