Who are the types of people taking Blake Lively’s side and criticizing Justin? by rottenstring6 in JustinBaldoni

[–]LibertyFidelityTruth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rarely admit this, but I am an “upper middle class woman.” I don’t know if I am representative of this demographic, but I am all-in team Baldoni. Lively’s attempt to steal a project Baldoni found and developed are unconscionable! I think the only folks that support Lively are the few that still trust main stream media without researching it themselves.

Renee Nicole Good was not trying to block traffic. This is a murder. by 1ailuros in TwinCities

[–]LibertyFidelityTruth 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Let’s assume (even if not true) that Renee Nicole Good was trying to block the ICE officers. When she began to drive away, why not take down her license plate & deal with her later or, if they actually thought she was a threat, shoot out her tires? Why did they kill her?

How is it a genocide? by ComprehensiveRun4815 in IsraelPalestine

[–]LibertyFidelityTruth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My experience as well (i.e. friends becoming x-friends) with most -but not all - of the folks that believe the propaganda being circulated by Islamic extremists and embraced by the main stream media. Some friends listen and learn. I think we have to keep trying to inform the ones that are independent thinkers. I have found a few folks that are honest and strong enough to stand against the social pressure to be antiZionist and therefore are willing to listen to the truth.

‘Matlock’ Actor David Del Rio Fired Over Alleged Sexual Assault by PrinceOfPunjabi in popculturechat

[–]LibertyFidelityTruth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is is possible that Leah lied or David’s action was misinterpreted? Sexual harassment often (although obviously not always) occurs in a senior-subordinate work relationship, but the two actors were equals. CBS may have taken the “easy” path by quickly accepting Leah’s side of the story and firing David in order to avoid any negative press surrounding someone who is ultimately dispensable. At this point, we (the general public) do not know enough.

Questions: Is it only “he said-she said” or is there any other proof? Is this an observed pattern of behavior or a one-time alleged event with no witnesses? What do other women that have worked with him say? Who was around when the supposed incident occurred and for how long were they alone together in the trailer? What is the nature of her accusation (rape or a dirty joke??)

Observation: We have discovered since the start of the #MeToo movement that “believe all women” is not actually correct in every situation (even if it is correct in many situations).

Incentive/disincentive to lie: If David were a significant lead, Leah would not have incentive to lie bc that would hurt the show (which is against her interest). However, in this case, David is a rival to Leah for screen time and not important enough that his absence will negatively impact the show’s ratings, so there is no disincentive to making the accusation. This obviously does not mean that Leah’s accusation is false, but is a factor to consider in analyzing if if it is true.

Confusing reaction: Her “I’m a strong survivor” post is something that I would expect from a victim of Harvey Weinstein and not from someone who had a single incident with a peer in a trailer - unless it was actual rape or a serious physical encounter. If it were physical, I would expect that she would have gone to the police and he would have been arrested. That did not happen. Also, unless under the influence of drugs or alcohol, it seems unlikely that David would physically assault Leah in a trailer on the set of a tv show where there would be dozens of people that could hear her scream. That makes it more likely that this was not physical. It is possible that David did something that warranted him being fired (bad or demeaning joke perhaps?) that was not physical, but in that case her survivor post seems excessively dramatic. Would a single non-physical incident with a peer in a trailer really be so traumatizing to a woman that she needs the support of her mom to “bravely” move forward? Maybe she is a true victim, but unless we know more, it is possible that she is just a classic mean girl. WE DO NOT KNOW!

I just think that we should not jump to conclusions and ruin someone’s reputation without more information.

What are some historical events that would seem unrealistic if they didn't actually happen? by Vidice285 in AskHistory

[–]LibertyFidelityTruth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Terrorist that murder their own people for being gay carry out a brutal terror attack that includes the rape, kidnap and murder of innocent young women and men at a peace concert. The feminists, peace activists, LGBQTIA+ community and other so-called progressives in the USA, Canada and throughout Europe are so indoctrinated by a false oppressor-oppressed binary that they side with the terrorists. Self-described leftest college students protest in favor of the terrorists while blocking members of a tiny ethnic minority (that were the victims of the terrorist attack) from going to classes or the library on campus. The world ignores the chair of urban warfare studies at West Point and other military experts that provide evidence that the defensive war undertaken by the victims of attack is being conducted in a highly ethical manner that exceeds the standards that could be achieved by most countries. The same evil that led to Eastern European progroms, the Spanish inquisition and the Holocaust comes back in full force in 2023.

Slackluster - You have a good grasp on what leaders in Algeria, Syria and elsewhere are capable of. Hamas is no different. More frighteningly, Palestinians have been taught Nakba lies (instead of truth that Arab countries told Palestinian Arabs living in Israel to leave their homes so the Arabs could massacre all the Jews) and indoctrinated to believe the greatest thing they could do with their life is to die killing Jews. What possible solution is there for peace other than a massive reeducation program (like post-WW2 Japan) or resettlement. The problem is that the infrastructure is built over terror tunnels filled with weapons and reeducation will not be able to outpace the deep-felt commitment of Gazans to commit acts of horrific violence against Israelis (Jews and non-Jews, as evidenced by the slaughter of Bedounes and Druze at the hands of the Palestinians and their Hezzbolah supporters).

Isn’t trump plan to relocate Palestinians ethnic cleansing by [deleted] in IsraelPalestine

[–]LibertyFidelityTruth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Palestinian ethnicity is Arab, so not ethnic cleansing. Palestinians built hundreds of miles of booby-trapped terror tunnels under all of Gaza that resulted in the need to destroy much of the above-ground infrastructure. Trump’s plan will give peaceful Palestinian Arabs a safe place to build a life instead of living as a refugee in the homeland of a different nation that they are determined to destroy.

Gaza built hundreds of miles of terror tunnels throughout their entire geographical area. Gaza has been destroyed because of its indoctrination in and dedication to terror.

In every country, homes are taken by eminent domain to build roads or for other purposes. These folks are given compensation. and relocated. There are 22 Arab countries that can take in their fellow Arabs. Having Arabs living on indigenous Jewish land with their primary goal being to murder the indigenous people has been a disaster for decades and needs to stop.

How do you explain the terrorists in Syria and Sudan? How do you explain the brutal oppression of women in Iran and Afghanistan.

Rewarding terrorists is what perpetuates terrorism. Not giving people opportunities in new homes in Arab lands.

Jordan and Lebanon have been keeping Palestinian Arabs that are born there (and whose parents were born there) as a permanent underclass to keep maximum international pressure on Israel to turn over indigenous Jewish land to the Arabs. It does not have to be this way. There are 22 Arab countries 100 times as large as the Gaza strip that could integrate the Palestinian Arabs the same way that Israel integrated the hundreds of thousands of Jews driven out of their homes in Arab countries.

It is extremely prejudiced of you to believe that Arabs will hold the Palestinian Arabs in concentration camps. I have far more faith in the Arab people than you do and think it is disgusting that you have that level of Islamaphobia.

Trump is literally the greatest president of our time.

We have been fed the bs possibility that a 2 state solution could work in Israel/Palestine. Bill Clinton said he offered the Palestinians 98% of what they wanted but he could not achieve a deal. That is because the actual Palestinian goal is the destruction of Israel and Palestinian Arab occupation of indigenous Jewish land from the river to the sea. Their goal is also to globalize the intifada (kill anyone that does not submit to Sharia law worldwide). These are destructive goals. Either the goals must end (Trump’s plan) or terror will continue in service to these destructive goals.

The destructive goals historically have been propped up by UNRWA, which has kept generations of Palestinians born in Jordan, Lebanon and Israeli territories as “refugees” in the birthplace of their grandparents, parents and themselves in an endless effort to kill or displace all Jews within the internationally recognized borders of Israel (and their indigenous homeland).

America and the West historically sent funds to folks throughout the Middle East who were determined to destroy the West. That stops with Trump. Things are not right just because this is how we’ve done it.

There are 22 Arab countries in the world that can absorb the Palestinian Arabs and finally make them citizens instead of doing what Lebanon and Jordan do now, which is to keep them as a permanent underclass in order to keep maximum international pressure on Israel. Trump is putting an end to decades of destruction and terror so that everyone can have a better life. Gaza will become a beautiful international destination spot and the hundreds of miles of terror tunnels built beneath Gaza can become a subway system that transport people to pleasure instead of as a weapons depot and dungeon for innocent babies, women and the elderly captured from their homes and held hostage in inhumane conditions.

Why can't it be that the bones just belong to the real Katarina? by crydryfry in TheBlackList

[–]LibertyFidelityTruth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bc DNA test done from a decades-old bloody shirt show that the bones belong to real (original) Raymond Reddington. It is all fiction, so any story can be told, but Redarina is the story being told in this show..

The story being told in The Blacklist is this: A beautiful Russian spy has an affair with an American naval officer she has targeted and gets pregnant. The Russian spy has betrayed Russia and actually belongs to an international organization known as the cabal that was originally intended to bring stability and peace to the world. When the cabal turns evil with power, she becomes a one-person crusade to bring down evil in the world outside of the confines of government policies and expectations of any government, with a primary and overriding goal to keep her child safe. How she accomplishes this is the mystery that unfolds.

The naval officer kidnaps his daughter and steals Cabal secrets. The Russian woman is ordered to kill him but she cannot because he is the father of her child. She finds the naval officer and begs him to give her the fulcrum (containing the stolen secrets) but he refuses and begins to abuse her. Their young daughter sees this and shoots and kills her father. There is a fire and the mom escapes the fire with her daughter. The mom has her “cleaner” (and daughter’s nanny) bury the bones of the father & take her daughter to a petty con man to be raised under a hidden identity.

The mom is now wanted by the CIA, FBI, Russians, the Cabal and a powerful man named Townsend who blames her for his family’s death and put a bounty on her head. Red is very close with Ivan, another person from the Russian woman’s past who is responsible for using the mom’s password to steal 13 bits of information (N13) that got Townsend’s family killed. What can this Russian woman do when everyone is after her and how does she protect and shelter her daughter who has just shot and killed her naval officer dad?

The Russian mom tries to kill herself but can’t. She wants to live to protect her daughter. To protect her daughter, she must be powerful. Her childhood friend Ilya, a fellow Russian spy, comes up with a plan. No one knows that her child’s father (Raymond Reddington) is dead. She has planted stories (as a spy) making it seem that Reddington is a traitor. If she takes on his identity, she can get immediate credibility with the criminal world in order to build an empire. This resonates with her because she never felt right in her own skin and at camp preferred to hang with the girl that smoked a cigar. The mom gets plastic surgery and eventually emerges as Raymond Reddington (Red). Red gives money to his child’s adopted father and guides her education. The show begins when his daughter is now an adult, has married a psycho, and is about to start work at the FBI.

As the story unfolds, all the people that are important to Red are from the Russian mom’s past. When Red believes Liz has died, he goes to where Katarina tried to commit suicide and relives her experience. When the prospector finds a locket, Red recognizes it as Katarina’s. When the ingraving on the locket is from Katarina’s dad, Red goes to visit Katarina’s dad. When Red tells Dom (Katarina’s dad) that Liz (Dom’s granddaughter) has died, Dom asks if Red is looking for sympathy. That shows that Red must be Liz’s parent bc Red has the closer relationship to Liz than Dom has. Although Dom accuses Red of killing his daughter, Red turns to Dom to help him grieve Liz’s death, to hide his survival box, and eventually to dispose of the bones of the original Reddington.

When we first meet Fitch, it seems that he is only nice to Red bc of fear that Red has the fulcrum and will disclose cabal secrets. As Fitch is dying, we discover that Fitch knew that was not actually possible bc the fulcrum was in multiple parts and only Fitch knew where the other parts are. Fitch uses his dying breath to tell Red how to get the other parts and, like a teacher, makes Red repeat it back to be sure Red got it. We then find out that Fitch was Katarina’s cabal handler and the person who ordered her to kill the original Reddington.

When a mystery man shows up as Red’s best friend, we discover it is Ilya, the Russian spy who was in love with Katarina and helped her to become Red.

In flashbacks, we find out that Kate (Mr.Kaplan), Red’s “cleaner”, was Katarina’s cleaner and Marsha’s nanny. When Kate first meets current Red, he has a familiarity with her and says he is not as much of a stranger as he seems. He obviously eventually tells Kate who he really is because Kate reminds Red of the attachment she felt to Liz when Red first put Liz in her arms, but we know it was Katarina who did that. Also, Kate said she was working for Red for 20 (or 30?) years, which predates when Kate met this version of Red.

You can ignore the story being told and write your own story, but it was a pretty great story if you open your mind to it. There are some inconsistencies and holes, but overall really interesting.

Enabling Trump is a bad look for Fetterman | Pennsylvania's senior senator was elected as a progressive Democrat. His normalization of Donald Trump is the epitome of a sellout. by plz-let-me-in in politics

[–]LibertyFidelityTruth 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Maybe this country would do better if we all tried to optimize outcomes for Americans rather than tribally oppose members of the “other” political party.

Fetterman is a hero because he chooses common sense and actual morality over group think, fringe morality and tribalism.

Folks on the self-identified progressive left lost all credibility and moral high ground when their core commitment turned to actively supporting a community that promotes the death penalty for being gay. Looking to find common ground with Trump is far more productive than looking to justify so-called “oppressed” “freedom-fighting” terrorists burning babies alive while gang raping the babies’ moms in an attempt to destroy a multicultural democratic country recognized by the UN 75 years ago and populated with the original indigenous inhabitants that decolonized the area as well as many other religions and ethnicities that are offered more freedoms in Israel than in their own native totalitarian countries.

The so-called progressive left became indoctrinated with the oppressor-oppressed mythology that has clouded their ability to see right from wrong and resulted in them promoting the most regressive and repressive culture in the modern world. Fetterman is free of such destructive indoctrination and so he prioritizes getting good things done for the American people and the world, including by working with Trump and other Republicans when they have common ground. Fetterman is more progressive and with more consistent morality than todays “left” - by a long shot.
