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 in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . 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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --

If these videos/images were real then they would have been "leaked" by now, or will "leak" in the run-up to Israel's ground invasion. Unless that happens, I don't believe that they exist. Biden can lie about this as easily as Bush did about WMDs.

They don't really even need to bother now that it's been drop kicked into the collective memory.

Before or at the beginning of pretty much every conflict the west is involved in is a barrage of disinformation designed to manufacture consent for war. This is no exception and I'd be careful believing anything you read in western media about this right now.

Stories about rape, torture, etc., these were are shoved down the public's throat before and at the beginning of the Iraq War, and I'm pretty sure nearly all of it turned out to be bullshit.

I can almost guarantee something like this with no source at all is complete horseshit.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nayirah_testimony

In her testimony, Nayirah claimed that after the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait she had witnessed Iraqi soldiers take babies out of incubators in a Kuwaiti hospital, remove the incubators and leave the babies to die.
