Do you have an opinion on the propriety of the House Leader providing the 41k hours of footage to FOX, and not to any other ‘news’ organisations? Does that seem balanced to you? No one else got it. Release of images into the public sphere is now controlled by the very same media organisation that has admitted knowing that claims of election fraud were false, yet pushed them for months, up to the Jab 6 incident and then after.

Or are you not questioning that as well?

Do you see any conflict of interest here at all?

Your complaint above about biased and misleading narratives seems a little shallow in this context.

the release of footage to fox and fox only is totally bizarre and unbalanced...

but it would appear to be a direct result of a toally unbalanced and bizarre show trial that ran for 6 months or more

totally bizarre, unbalanced, but proportional...

actually, not really proportional... the dems and their media are still winning bizarre and unbalanced by a magnitude of 10 at least

couldn't really give a shit what politico thinks, they are as complicit and unbalanced as anyone in the narrative wars, they would do well however, to address the content, rather than continue this ridiculous deplatform mentality...

did the dems machine really believe they could maintain this meticulously manicured narrative forever?

did they really believe they would have control of government, and said narrative, indefinitely, with no contingency plan in place to deal with pending outfall?

they seem terribly short sighted in everythimg they do... every 'scandal' they propagate... every thought bubble they grasp to...

they just seem dumb, and frankly, not up to the task

their obsession with narrative control runs deep, it would seem an ideological indoctrination, that creates a massive blind spot in the public sphere, that only their hubris and disdain for the public could possibly go close to explaining their non attention to addressing it

so back to the images...

is it not bizarre the police escort with wolfman?

is it not so far from the sold story it is just weird?

is it not alarming wolfman seemingly will go to jail for a long time for political affiliation more than anything else?

and the police... what the hell was going on in the wider context?

the whole thing is just plain weird... and questions and interest don't equate to partisan nuttery...

or shouldn't

gonna be an interesting week of image dumping

and fallout

I don't think it is balanced. As an observer, I find both sides quite disturbing and am a fan of neither.

US politics has become a bit like a bizarre WWE wrestling match, with weird and biased meeting weird and biased to duke it out under the spotlight.

Seeing a decent punch thrown by one side as a crude counterbalance to some concerning aspects of the others narrative probably is shallow thinking but it is WWE after all.

"gonna be an interesting week of image dumping". Yea nah, maybe for the FOX/MAGA/GOP squad. Apparently the Jan 6 event was just a peaceful protest. I must have been in a different parallel universe to one I watched at the time. As for Tucker Carlson, Colbert sums him up perfectly as the "... toddler sucking on a dog turd".

Gets harder to jump ioff as it goes up. What lies at the top?

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-03-07/xi-s-frustration-at-b...

China faces some deep economic and demographic challenges that will limit its rise in wealth and economic power relative to recent history. But that does not lessen the desire to project power and can increase the tendency to isolation and nationalism and growth through acquisition.

Friction ahead - to understate things.

Taiwan is pathological, not existential, for China. That doesn’t mean that there is validity to its claim, nor that the Taiwanese right to self-determination is null.

Xi has built his legacy around unification though. That’s worrying when nationalism, isolation and internal tensions intersect.

Etarip,
This video gives an interesting perspective on China's move to what Jeff Snider calls "a managed decline" (economic) to pursue stability over growth in recognition of:
- the end of the favourable world trade environment
- recognition that Western economic fads of QE and real estate bubble style economics are not working and dangerous to China
- a top heavy economy where the CCP acts like an overly large parasite feeding off the an economy that is now struggling to sustain it.

The all powerful China growth story is fading.

Wall St, however, clings to a China go big on stimulus imantra t to rescue their never ending "buy stocks" now storyline.

But the CCP is totally aware of the economic and internal political risks they face (no hopium like the US) and is moving to more authoritarian style government (long lockdown was a test run) to ensure stability and CCP survival. This is needed as the Chinese worker dreams of future prosperity are fading with the end of the long growth phase and the deflation of the real estate bubble.

Nationalism, isolationism, control and preparedness for tough times and tough choices is on the way.

Decisions on Taiwan will be made with this mindset.

"...Joseph D. McBride went to law school because his brother was serving a 15-year sentence for a crime he did not commit. He provided free legal advice as a law school student to those encamped in Zuccotti Park in New York City during the Occupy movement. Following law school, he worked as a public defender and in the Legal Aid Society. He represents several of those charged in the Jan. 6 incursion, including Richard Barnett. Barnett was photographed in Nancy Pelosi’s office with his leg propped up on her desk. Barnett was convicted by a federal jury, which deliberated for two hours, on eight counts, including disorderly conduct in the Capitol building. He faces up to 47 years in prison. He is scheduled to be sentenced on May 3.

“The post 9/11 model is being applied to American citizens,” McBride told me when I reached him by phone. “That model is the 19 hijackers. Everyone who is a religious Muslim is a suspect for the next 20 years. They should be waterboarded. They should be put in fucking jail and left in Guantanamo Bay. Lock them up. Throw away the key. Because they are psychopath extremists who believe in Allah and we don’t have time for that. They’re a threat based on who they are, what they look like, what they believe in. When the truth is, the vast majority of these guys don’t do drugs, don’t drink alcohol, they have five kids and they live pretty good lives. But because of the label of ‘terrorism’ and ‘Osama Bin Laden’ and ‘al-Qaeda’, everybody who is a Muslim is now a target. If we get on a plane next to one of these people, we get nervous about it because that’s how much it’s ingrained in us. The same thing is happening, except it’s being applied to a new group of people, primarily white Christians, Trump supporters, for now.” 

“Power is going to change hands,” he warned. “The Democrats are not going to be in power forever. When power changes hands, that precedent is going to travel with it. If somebody else from the other side gets in and starts to target the people who are in power now, their families, their businesses, their lives, their freedom, then it’s over. America goes from being a free democracy to a tribalist partisan state. Maybe there’s not ethnic-cleansing in the streets, but people are cleansing each other from the workplace, from social media, from the banking system and they’re putting people in jail. That’s where we’re headed. I don’t know why people can't see what’s on the horizon.”..."

Did Joseph the Legal Aid lawyer reference any Jan.6 insurrectionists or white Christian Trump supporters who are currently in Gitmo, any of them been waterboarded, or is his hyperbole just based on "feels"?
What I think is going on is that people like his client who violently stormed Congress seeking to overturn an election are being prosecuted for their crimes, fairly, under due process. Comparisons to "ethnic cleansing" is more ridiculous hysteria, and insulting to real victims of it. America is and hopefully will remain a free democracy subject to the rule of law under it's Constitution, partisan tribalism can co-exist with that, as we see playing out today. The left in America is not perfect, far from it, but if the alternative is the lunatic Trump, or DeSantis then their democracy is at risk as the events of Jan 6 proved. The fault, dear Sypkan, lies on the right, the far right. If Biden runs and loses, he/the Dems won't 'cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war' like Trump and his cult did. If they did the rule of law would apply equally to them as well. Mr Barnett is not a martyr, he's a guy at the "find out" part of the "fuck around and find out" sequence. Trump is going to ride that train too in the near future.

Okay lets agree on Trump but whats wrong with DeSantis?????

He isn't loose & reckless like Trump, but he also isn't half senile like Biden, and on paper ticks so many boxes, family man, well educated has some political experience but also life experience and done very well in florida poltically, socially and economically, there no way on earth he would encourage or allow Jan 6th, but im also sure he wouldn't have also allow or encouraged the 2021 riots and looting either.

I think the references to guantanamo bay are pretty clear...

the capitol day tour group, are being held under the same terrorist laws that were introduced for the likes of the september 11 bombers

laws that mean 100s, 1000's now....of people have been held with no trial for up to two years. held with special conditions that equate to solitary confinement and without the usual means to present their case.

it throws innocent until proven guilty out the window, and essentially strips them of their basic human rights...

remember those little chestnuts?

yeh he is selective about what he shows, cherry picks even... but he hasn't cut it to short reel snippets, and edited it like the democrats have, he lets it roll...

so why the anger? ...the outrage? ...the hissy fit?

it should be shown, whoever has access to it, it's public record

they are only angry because they have produced a narative, with literally hollywood level production, ...by editing the fuck out of that footage and running it for two years...

they're just angry their little movie deal ain't getting the reviews and ratings they wanted

because it is bullshit

why was all that footage so stictly controlled?

even the shaman's lawyer was denied access to much of it

it's a heavily curated clown show, and now the clowns have been exposed...

Well, he exhibits the same autocratic tendencies as Trump, not as much of an imbecile but "on the spectrum', he's anti LGBTI obsessed, anti trans obsessed, anti black and Native American, un-democratic and he weaponizes these sentiments perhaps even more than Trump and the right wing media. He's a book ban enabler, over 170 of them, including many on American history, Native Americans and African American history, including Hank Aaron's autobiography FFS. He has created a ridiculous controversy with Disney (no angels themselves) with the "Don't Say Gay" laws he enacted and installing his puppets to control the Disney district and serve as his "moral arbiter" whatever that is. I could go on, barely touched the surface but IMO is the same type of wanna be far right autocrat as Trump and will continue the stupid MAGA crap that has polluted political discourse and common sense and the rule of law in US politics since Trump entered the scene in 2016. But you can take a look at him and his record and make up your own mind. Not that it is important but another weird thing I note is that he and his wife are trying to create images of themselves that directly steal from JFK and the Camelot era, his wife is copying iconic outfits worn by Jackie Kennedy during JFK's presidency, right down to the same dresses and long white gloves, and recreating iconic Kennedy family images. I saw another photo of her recently in a Camelot ballgown and gloves at a baseball game, in stinking hot Florida, during the daytime. Irrelevant to his politics I know, but an indication of a weirdness that sits uncomfortably with me. The GOP has had enough weird idiots hogging the limelight and discourse, they have better candidates than Trump or DeSantis but will they be able to overcome the MAGA stranglehold is the question. I'm not anti GOP, I've liked quite a few of their Presidents, but they really need to cut loose these lunatics and the inlfuence they and people like Gaetz. MTG and Boebert have on the party. Apparently we are going to war with China around the time of the next US election so it would be nice if the US President wasn't a fucking idiot, for our sake as well.

Sypkan, I have watched the Shaman escort footage and sadly listened to Tucker's take and it doesn't change my opinion that Trump incited an insurrection on Jan 6 and his MAGA idiots in the thousands attempted to carry it out. Are you trying to say that what we all saw happen is some kind of false narrative created through tricky editing by the Jan 6 Committee? It was an insurrection, that could have killed half the Congress including the VP if things had gone the way it was intended. The participants are facing justice as they should, and if they are being held under "terrorist" conditions as you say, then it is still the rule of law that is applying, imperfect or not.

an outright lie

and schumer, losing his shit over carlson for lying.... that deluded fool has been lying for 6 years about russia... he (and his media) are still are lying about it ...even after a four year investigation proved otherwise!

he's lying about an 'insurrection' too...

as are the media, as they STILL trot out these lines...

even after their own inquiry has found no evidence trump organised a coup...

ffffs, they couldn't even pin down the proud boys as being organiesed enough to claim it was a planned 'insurrection'

but the narrative rolls on

lies lies lies

all of it

but you seem not interested in those lies...

the tapes don't lie!!

the ones that show the violence

and the ones that show a non violent animist wolfboy, being escorted through the corridors - peacefully - praying thanks for the police that let him in...

Honestly i dont know if much of this is true or not as never read or heard most of these things id expect your source would be very left wing media thats aim is just to demonise him as much as possible as he does appear to be the Democrats big future hope.

You have to remember that the USA is the centre of the culture wars and the craziness around issues like gender, race etc are much worse than anywhere else and the left there is ten times more bat shit crazy than in Australia and the right are ten times more batshit crazy.

Anyway its all part of American politics these days both Rebublicans and Demoract leaders would need to be very clear where they stand on all these social/culture war type issue's and even use them too their advantage and more importantly because voting isn't compulsory in the USA you need to attract people to the ballot box with these issues or a wide range of issues otherwise you wont get votes especially Republicans.

The reasoning was ridiculous but there is something satisfying in watching an angry mob storming the parliament building. How many coups did the US 'sponsor' in other countries? Let them feel it on their own skin a bit.

how so?

and, as I asked... what's the problem with releasing uncut footage?

seriously?

what's the big deal?

unless...

Sure. Release it. Openly. But that’s not what happened.

I love it, the whole kit and caboodle

Indo"Honestly i dont know if much of this is true or not as never read or heard most of these things id expect your source would be very left wing media thats aim is just to demonise him as much as possible as he does appear to be the Democrats big future hope. "

To quote a real lefty "You can just google it, mate"
Plenty of independent source material and reporting of these matters, not necessarily "left wing media", sources. I'm not trying to portray any bias or bullshit, just my own view of him based on what I have read and seen.
Sypkan, it just occurred to me that for years I was surrounded by 'black clad Antifa' in Melbourne nightclubs instead of what I thought were just disco wankers trying to look cool. I may have even been one myself. Antifa really need better uniforms.

Highly recommend reviewing the following link re the Jan 6 events and tucker debacle. Too many good statements to quote. A lengthy and detailed analysis. Exactly the kind of reporting required in these times.

Nice one Bonza. “Exactly the kind of reporting required in these times.” 100% agree.
