news
Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
-
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
The Pornhub account was traced back to Hunter Biden through the profile picture of the account matching the content of one of the videos leaked to Fox News of Hunter Biden engaging in sexual activity, and through screenshots of evidence from the laptop leak, basically a screenshot of Safari with relevant pages opened, the account logged onto, and bookmarked. Some of the videos taken outdoors were geolocated back to a Hollywood mansion, and allegedly (this is the biggest reach and most far fetched thing, and I have no intention to seek out the actual evidence myself) the face of one of the women present on the account matches the face of one of his cousins. The only things that can be solidly proven is the profile picture match and the account being logged into on the laptop, which is enough for me to assume that Hunter operated the account. The rest is all based on speculation from people that watched the actual videos and screenshots of them, back when the account was still publicly viewable.
The account has obviously been removed from Pornhub, and the only sites hosting evidence of it are far right cesspools, like this page, (warning chud site, all nudity censored thankfully) witch only works on desktop mode or on a PC.
the screenshot from the chud website, obvious CW, all nudity is pixelated out though.
Is there anything that's only on the laptop because creating an account and using a profile picture that was already leaked to the media seems like a pretty simple way to pin it.
Again fuck hunter I'm not carrying an ounce of water for him but that sounds like some project Veritas levels of proof.
The geolocation thing seems pretty concrete, and im absolutely not saying he wasnt taking videos of himself smoking crack and banging sex workers (im also not saying thats that bad of a thing) but I'm really having a hard time buying that he banged a relative and then uploaded a video of it to a public pornhub account with her fave visble and a profile picture of him, then brought the computer, logged into that account to a sleazy Maga fly by night blind computer repair man with Rudy's contact info.
The profile picture from the account, the screenshots of the account being logged into, the video that was leaked to Fox News witch matches the account profile picture, the all come from the laptop leak. And yes, the laptop, on some level, appears to be real and Hunter Biden is that stupid. The laptop had lots of personal information on it. The account was also created before the media frenzy.
New York Times acknowledging the veracity of the Hunter Biden laptop leak with a seperate investigation
While I agree with you on the stuff about incest or pedophilia likely being Qanon conspiracies, the laptop leak, and the files and information associated with it, appear to be real and match evidence used federal investigations, even if Giuliani screwed up the handling of the evidence.
Mfs analyzing this like it's the Zapruder film, another film with a head explosion
