World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I can't help but suspect the CIA is on that list due to the lack of interference from US law enforcement time and time again.
CIA and Mossad are joined at the hip
What if "Epstein Class" is more on the nose than people seem to realize?
What if what Epstein was actually an expert at was manipulating human behavior, and his role in the world above all was helping suppress the lower classes through economics and psychological operations? To me, some of the stuff in the Epstein files looks like some of the stuff in the MK ultra files. After all, isn't being able to manipulate the masses what makes all that money so powerfully dangerous?
such as?
There's a lot of child abuse in the MK Ultra files with the goal seeming to be programming human behavior. They'd abuse kids to try and split their personalities and then bury ideas with in different personalities and that sort of thing, so people would act on trigger words and then not remember when they'd come to. It's been a long time since I've seen the files (some are publicly available after being discovered in an accounting wing of the CIA), but as I recall there's an instance where they use a trigger word to get a child to shoot a blank at their friend and when they come to they don't remember firing the weapon. It's extremely fucked up shit, and most of it was covered up and destroyed, so the extent to which it was successful and or continued is relatively unknown, but if you think about how much technology has advanced since the 60-70s and how much data they've collected, there are probably experts at this, and I'd imagine they wouldn't have an official government position, but would be very well connected. Obviously, this is a lot of speculation on my part.
Exactly, another boss, or another paying customer? He seems to be basically freelance, but could anyone stay freelance with so many lethal clients without having some protector somewhere? Who is that protector? Mossad? CIA?
