if they ever answer, it’ll be dismissive about how all western media is biased against china/nk/Russia. That’s as close to an explanation of “why it’s fake” as you’ll get.

Look through the modlog for Removed Comments. The answers kesucay is removing talk about how it's a CIA-linked org with staff appointed by Washington.

Everybody on the leftist web has prior knowledge of Radio Free Asia.

Even just look at Wikipedia: "Based on Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty....with the stated aim of "promoting democratic values and human rights", and countering the narratives and monopoly on information distribution of the Chinese Communist Party, as well as providing media reports about the North Korean government.... Radio Free Europe was a Cold War anti-communist outlet, "Founded during the Cold War, RFE began in 1949 targeting Soviet satellite states,[8] while RL, established in 1951, focused on the Soviet Union. Initially funded covertly by the CIA..."... Both are owned by "USAGM... considered an arm of U.S. diplomacy."

Don't fret about any 'background checks'.

They say "do you believe in god yes/no" and "are you conspiring to overthrow the government yes/no" with a bored look on their face. They're obliged to ask this because of traditional rules. It is a box-ticking.

thanks for the info

ok.ru/video is better

I feel like most have misunderstood the point of the question, they offer to use newpipe, yt-dlp and the like, but those aren’t private, they just allow you to watch without signing in, just as you could through the official website with maybe uBlock origin, you’re still exposing your IP.

This implies invidious and piped hide your IP address, which I'm not sure is true.

Most EU countries weren't in the Axis.

Search 'freemason hall [city]' if you don't believe me: it's all out in the open.

I passed the background checks and I am just a turtle on a skateboard.

The halls are visible to the public. Our friends and family know we are Masons. We have registered charities and bank accounts. The only real secrets are the passwords and handshakes.

my experience has been that don’t appreciate agnostics and pagans in there midsts.

my experience is contrary to this. Few people really believe in religion in 2024, it's not like the pious times in which the rites originated.

In practice, you don't have to believe in god to be a mason. Although that rule is still around.

That is another misconception. The ceremonies are in books and on the internet. The only real secret is the means-of-identification.

I wonder if it’s only in my country, that they are told to protect israel? I read that in a freemasons documents, that I found on his computer in a totally legal way…

Uhmmm two of my lodge members have been bombed by Israel during their military service hahaha. We are not fans.

Did your organisation also have to change opsec these past 10 years?

I haven't been in it 10 years.

Uuh and are you also encouraged to do business with other masons, to keep accumulating wealth?

No. Although one can only do business with people one knows, and I know Masons.
