it's that simple.

While I have several substacks bookmarked, so far this is my only subscription, and the author very kindly gifted it to me. If you can afford to support this author's speaking truth to power, please consider it, and please consider supporting ~~deadlines~~, dessalines, nutomic, and altmediaguy. They whisper truth through the angry and loud CIA/Mossad propaganda, that has become overgrown poison ivy in the Western world.

The link just goes to a photo. There's no article.

Mine didn't go directly to an article either. Just the photo. Hmmm

[–] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 2 points 18 minutes ago

Weird, it goes straight to an article for me.

[–] hanrahan@piefed.social 2 points 48 minutes ago

Maybe it's your client or instance?

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 2 points 31 minutes ago (1 children)

I don't know. I'm using the default web frontend. Maybe something is getting its wires crossed when the post is passed between instances. I've seen this happen before.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 2 points 29 minutes ago (1 children)

I use the web interface as well. And I believe you post in good faith. Were you able to copy and paste the URL?

It's happening to me as well on Boost for Android

Saying this in a world with Russia is mindboggling

[–] PlaidBaron@lemmy.world 2 points 20 minutes ago

Russia is your boogeyman. Russia and the US is everyone else's boogeymen.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 9 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Russia is terrible. The united snakes was always on another level of evilness

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 5 points 2 hours ago

Yes we were.

We don't buy the CIA/Mossad narrative anymore.

[–] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

We all need to do better to support opposition candidates and show the world we aren't in alignment with this scum.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 4 points 2 hours ago

The only oppo candidates wouldn't run as D or R

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

The US Gov and the reds, that is.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth -2 points 2 hours ago

That's why they hit the Iranian nuclear power plant, right? 🙄

[–] kSPvhmTOlwvMd7Y7E@lemmy.world -2 points 1 hour ago (3 children)

I believe as of now, that title is still held by Russia; but yes US is a strong contender

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 1 points 58 seconds ago

thats the scary thing about now. We have never been more like russian than in the last year. Im not a fan of regular attemtps to start ww3.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 3 points 43 minutes ago

Fact is that the usa bombed more countries, overthrew a bigger numbers of democrarically elected leaders and governments, backed the longest occupation existing, held the longest blockade in modern history, is involved in the two most serious current genocides : sudan and gaza

[–] totesmygoat@piefed.ca 2 points 1 hour ago

That's the peanut butter cup of shitholes. One and the same now.
