Dirty Wars

[c.j]

I read a book in 2007 about Blackwater, written by a guy called Jeremy Scahill.

He has made a film that I think anyone interested in what has been happening in Iraq or Afghanistan and abroad, should see.

I watched it on Netflix.

5 out 5 from me.

And here is his online news publication: https://theintercept.com/

Full of stories that should be on the news and not the crap we are spoon fed.

I can't find the title on netflix. Us netflix. Any chance it is only available on tha aussie version?

[ysu]

Ha! Getflix to the rescue. Region changed to oz and it's there.

Well, just watched it. This was....I'm still looking for words. Intense. Shocking. Crazy.
And now I understand why you can't watch it on the US version.

Fuck this.

Turnbull's NBN fuckup is like a fart in the wind in light of this.

I knew the US military did some fuckups, but now this needs to be rephrased; they are doing the fucking up.
The war on alcohol did not work. The war on drugs was a failure. The war on terror turns out to be another one.

Hey maybe it'd be high time to realise; you can't just outlaw & kill things and expect it to solve the issue.

P.s. if you have a weak stomach, don't watch this, it has some rather shocking scenes.

Edit; but the more I think about it; the most shocking is how much the US govt shits on laws and democracy. They just don't seem to care.
Land of freedom my arse.

It is a big farce.

Yeah it's brutal. Sorry should know better, I'm a little seasoned to the shock, apologies
