Sochi; trouble's brewing again

[doodab]

I take it you don't buy into the population reduction crap, at least not on a broad scale?

Are there any conspiracy theories you haven't signed up to?

Are police supposed to ensure a fair fight?

Are police supposed to ensure a fair fight?

Are they supposed to beat someone with a cosh for singing an undoubtedly crap song?

In Russia, apparently so.

Amazing, the Daily Wail puts it quite well;

Armed with horsewhips and pepper spray, ten burly Cossacks were taking no chances as they tackled members of the feminist punk band Pussy Riot to the ground in Sochi yesterday.


After all, they were facing the terrifying prospect of five unarmed women and one man strumming a guitar.

Some of the comments betray rather interesting attitudes that I might have expected from some old blackshirt rag.

Russia does not want to go into Oblivion like the West. Do you blame them for wanting to stick to their own ways? Becauseit has nothing to do with anyone else other than the Russians. Anyone swap Putin for Camron?? I'm not even a Commie...

They only have themselves to blame. They know what it is like there. They have been in prison. They need to take responsibility for their own actions.

I don't subscribe to any really. I do like reading sites like BeforeItsNews and PrisonPlanet, some of the articles make me roll up belly laughing, others make you think.

I like to think I can see past the tin foil hats and pick and choose what I believe.

Elvis isn't dead btw.

pick and choose what I believe.

But isn't it better to do it based on plausibility than comedy value?

Well exactly. The comedy value is there for just that. You need to define your own brand of what is plausible nowadays as the media is full of propaganda and other tulipe.

Also surfing other news sites such as China today and Aljazeera you get a bit more of a balanced view.

Just relying on what is spewed in the western papers is never enough.
