Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Does anybody else think this was an FBI setup? The timing? The failed detonation?

Balat’s attorney, Mehdi Essmidi, told NBC News on Monday that Balat has “complicated stuff going on” and suggested that his client did not know Kayumi prior to Saturday. “They’re strangers to each other,” he said.

While authorities have not detailed how the teenagers knew each other, the two grew up roughly 4 miles apart in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

There have been soooo many similar cases. Fedz entrapping troubled kids. They wait until they're 18 to put them in cages. Really gross.

Kayumi lives in Newtown, Pennsylvania, on a street lined with 4,000-square-foot brick homes, and manicured lawns. His parents emigrated from Afghanistan and became U.S. citizens in 2004 and 2009, according to CBS News.

There's the tell.

It's really hard for me to say. On one hand, the ingredients are there. On the other, the FBI is incredibly inept these days especially, to make such a conspiracy seem hard almost too hard for the FBI to pull off.

Yes. The more I pay attention to things the more everything seems orchestrated by fed/intelligence agencies.

We are not free, and it's worse than that. We are used and our lives are disposable.

It's basically what's behind gangstalking. (If you're capable of sifting through all the fake bullshit laced in the "conspiracy" to make it looks like a "crazy conspiracy".) Like QAnon and Epstein class, they add bullshit to the idea and hide behind it. It's all the same group/class that behind this all though...

Even some of trumps assassination attempts seem like they utilized "troubled" lonely people.

Every day it seems like the truth of america is building that it's one of realest enemies of humanity. And regular Americans naiveness and ignorance/arrogance is becoming a problem. It's like they get their soul groomed out of their humanity and just go along with the evil.

I think this world is much darker than people understand and that most people are extremely out of touch with the chaos of how the world really works. Shit... Our nations are tools to be used, and are owned by the world's most elite and wealthy people/corporate entities. "Regular" people are literally like free-range cattle caught in a psychological illusion of freedoms that keep them submissive while building up the monster that owns them.
