The Peace Tribunal of The Hague means business, as the dutch say "you can take poison to that" meaning "you can be sure of that."

Does the Hague have both of the following...?

1. A secondary secret location in case the facility has become endangered, threatened, or destroyed?
2. A missile defense system better than the S-400?

The Hague at this point is little more than a tool in the hands of US imperialism. Kind of a sad joke compared to what it used to be, really.

Take for example the ICC prosecuting Putin for... relocating children from an active warzone so they wouldn't be shelled to death? :lol:

Clearly the ICC would have preferred the children be murdered, I guess.

In the case of Syria, this is just a continuation of the propaganda narrative about Assad which has been ongoing since 2011 when the CIA tried (and failed miserably) to overthrow his government, supporting ISIS/Al-Qaeda and getting half a million people brutally killed in the process.

The pathetic idiots at the CIA still haven't completely given up on regime change in Syria even though they have completely failed and it will never happen, but they're too stubborn and weak to admit that it's over, and that their narratives are all lies.

Funny how the Hague isn't prosecuting even a single American for literally supporting ISIS and helping them kill thousands.

It's a sad, pathetic joke. Just more proof of how far humanity has fallen since WW2.

Nobody should trust Wikipedia, says man who invented Wikipedia
Quote:

He told Lockdown TV that “if only one version of the facts is allowed then that gives a huge incentive to wealthy and powerful people to seize control of things like Wikipedia in order to shore up their power. And they do that.”

He said it (Wikipedia) “seems to assume that there is only one legitimate defensible version of the truth on any controversial question. That’s not how Wikipedia used to be.”

Oh look, FW is still misrepresenting this article.

I took the opportunity to peruse this link some time back, since it's basically Falcon91Wolvrn03's boilerplate deflection to any post that links to a Wikipedia article. Here's what I found:

Quote:

On Wikipedia’s Left-wing bias:
You can’t cite the Daily Mail at all. You can’t cite Fox News on socio-political issues either. It’s banned. So what does that mean? It means that if a controversy does not appear in the mainstream centre-Left media, then it’s not going to appear on Wikipedia.




Being Wikipedia, the discussion underpinning this decision is publicly available (to both read and participate) - read here - is Falcon91Wolvrn03's argument that Fox News is a reliable source for politics and science? Perhaps they can give more insight instead of letting Larry Sanger speak for them.


Especially when we see the direction Larry takes his criticism:

Quote:

On Covid:
If you look at the articles that Wikipedia has, you can just see how they are simply mouthing the view of the World Economic Council or World Economic Forum, and the World Health Organisation, the CDC and various other establishment mouthpieces like Fauci — they take their cues from them… There’s a global enforcement of a certain point of view, which is amazing to me amazing to a libertarian, or a liberty-loving conservative.




Is Falcon91Wolvrn03 suggesting that Wikipedia is unreliable because it doesn't publish covid disinformation?


Continuing down Larry's rabbit hole:

Quote:

In what ways other than politics does that establishment view come across?
Eastern medicine is basically called quackery in dismissive, quite judgmental, language and so forth. It’s done, apparently without any compunctions at all. Then when it comes to Christianity, the viewpoint on Christianity given is the liberal one that would be found in mainline denominations and liberal Catholicism as opposed to the actual Bible-believing fundamentalist type viewpoint.




Is Falcon91Wolvrn03 suggesting that Wikipedia is unreliable because it explicitly states when traditional medicine doesn't have scientific-backing? Or because it discusses Christianity by way of Catholicism instead of Fundamentalism? I don't think this latter claim is even true, glancing at Wikipedia's article on Christianity.



While Wikipedia is a convenient place to quickly find a multitude of sources on a specific topic, the articles are only as reliable as the specific sources cited. It's not a holy grail of truth, and shouldn't be treated as such. But it really doesn't seem like this Larry guy is someone with opinions worth listening to.

You're missed my position pretty badly, but at least you asked if it's my position, rather than make believing it is.  The answer to every one of your questions, is "No, none of those are my position".

My position is exactly what I quoted, which isn't a misrepresentation of what Larry Sanger said, as you claim.

Yes it is a misrepresentation, because Larry Sanger is using the quoted arguments I supplied to support his claim that 'Wikipedia shouldn't be trusted' in his interview on Lockdown TV. As you apparently recognize by refusing to adopt them yourself, these are weak arguments.

In order to get around this, you've instead leaned into an appeal to authority by removing the above context and placing weight on the title of 'man who invented Wikipedia' to support the premise that Wikipedia shouldn't be trusted - and probably hoped no one else would look past that headline.

A premise without supporting evidence is just an opinion, oh Rum King, not fact.

Because I, unlike you apparently, don't content myself with reading headlines and chose to critically examine the source material: https://unherd.com/thepost/wikipedia-co-founder-i-no-longer-trust-the-website-i-created/

That wasn't the source material, that was an entirely different article.
But let's go with it since you now backed it up.

Fox isn't a perfect news source (who is?)  But they got a lot of things right that MSNBC was peddling, like the Trump Russia collusion fantasy.  Yet Wikipedia forced us to listen to the MSNBC viewpoint.

In case you didn't know (it seems you don't), the CDC got a lot of things wrong on COVID.  Wikipedia blocked those who were first to call them out.

There are a HUGE number of people who say Eastern medicine works.  I know one person who is about as science minded as one can be, and she told me she tried Eastern medicine to help with her back pain after Western medicine had failed, and said it worked surprisingly well.  It may not be scientifically backed, but do you think it should be dismissed so that big pharma benefits?

From your article: "He told Lockdown TV...“

That means your article is referencing the interview that Larry Sanger gave on Lockdown TV here. The quotes from your article are all pulled from this interview, also known as the original source material, but the interview contains further material not included in the article. This is one reason for why seeking the source material is a valuable part of critical consumption of news.

But cool! Not only do you not bother to examine the source material of the news you consume, you apparently don't even know how to accurately determine what is the source material!

Also cool to see that you immediately move away from "No, none of those are my position" once you realized they were necessary to defend your initial claim. No room for self-reflection here eh?

I agree, and I commend you for doing the extra research.  And since you did, I even addressed each of your points to show where you were wrong on your assumptions on both me and Larry Sanger.

But you didn't bother to address my responses; maybe because you now see how you were wrong???
