I thought this was a really informative read.. wanted to share. I found this website last night and there's quite a bit of good reading on this subject. If you are like me and don't know a lot about this war... it's informative.

A lot of these famous war photographs are now known to have been staged; the socialist Spanish soldier right as he was being struck by a bullet, the crying Chinese infant sitting in a burning railway station, &c., &c., &c.

If a photograph taken under dangerous conditions looks "too neat," "too focused," the odds are reasonably good it was staged.  Not all of them, of course, but a great many of them.

The old saying that, "A text out of context is a pretext," is true of photographs. This photog was just recording what he saw with his tools at hand, i.e. his job. It was the MSM in the US and the "anti-war" movement who created the false impression/narrative that the man who was shot was an innocent victim.

Some 15 years ago I worked with a young lady whose father had a South Vietnamese army officer. He sent his family out of the country, but stayed with his men and was himself imprisoned. He eventually came to the US, I think, but she grew up without her Dad.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Good read. Here's one from a more recent time. Liberals up to their old tricks.

“The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”
