You Are Being Lied to About Pirates

[b0unce]

Heh, I got the whole 'fish illegally somewhere else' gag, bravo etc. It was the sentiment of the opening line that warranted the ole *tug* *tug* salute


Anyways, I've been following this story for ages. The article OP posted is rubbish, and so is the title of the article. Just who exactly is lying to us ? The author writes for the london independent. Is he not a part of the mainstream media ? Doesn't sound like a fringe publication to me, and his insights...aren't. check out the guardian's coverage over the previous months. Are they lying ? Meh, must I be exposed to inordinate amounts of FOX/CNN/The Daily Mail to find the article 'fascinating' ?

It's amazing how easy it is to take a 500 foot ship with a sputtering 15 foot hunk o shit and an rpg.

It irresponsibly easy.

Any bets on when the somalia invasion will take place.

what do you think will be twatrot's next thread that he starts? the jagoff starts this shit and just sits back and laughs.

it's like shooting a monkies in a barrel.

the dude has already made himself irrelevant with all the crap threads..... which many fine posters turn into good threads. No credit to op though.

Anyone can light a match and we all like a good fire anyway.

You forget some people think the guardian and independent are fringe media.

Right, with you now. Yeah, I can totally believe it. Have to admit, I must have missed this story until now. Too much shit in the world to be outraged about, I've must have reached saturation point.

The bit about nuclear dumping is interesting, wonder if there is corroboration elsewhere.

It's no wonder the mainstream media is silent on this but the info is out there if you look for it:
