This popped up on YouTube last night.

Some guy went and interviewed some of the protesters in Australia.

Some of the answers are quick shocking and most of them are sheep.

You should do some research in to who Avi Yemini is I think Max. https://www.thejc.com/news/world/avi-ye ... e-1.486946

You should also check some of his claims I think. There were not 40,000 protesters the official estimate is nearer 10,000. You may consider this irrelevant but to me it speaks to the propaganda nature of his video, which given his back ground and far right credentials is hardly surprising imo. Over and over he uses this false figure. The re uses over and over of interviews, the slowing down of frame rates etc etc these all speak to the nature of this video imo. He also makes false claims that the rate of police killings of unarmed people in US stating it is higher against white people than black. This is also factually incorrect. The shooting of Justine Damond is real. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_ ... ine_Damond The officer involved is serving a 12.5 year sentence for this murder. Damond's family bought a civil suit against the City of Minneapolis and they settled for $20,000,000. This shooting was abhorrent and yet again shows systemic failures in policing in the US. Yes it happened to be a black officer shooting a white woman, which is why this far right activist is using this case.

I was interested in the responses to the questions.

Your rebuke revolves around everything but that.

You are Shooting the messenger and ignoring the message and content in the video.

Would it be more credible for you if a black communist transgender lesbian was asking the questions?

identity politics is a form of prejudice and discrimination. Let's not listen to this person because he is that. Just being fair.

Some of the response are stupid but it is also clear to me that is the intent of the person making the video. Thus I judge it within that context. I have good grounds to suspect the responses he uses in this video and re uses and re uses were not representative or typical. How many sensible answers did he get and not use on the video ? You think similar tactics are not used in interviews with say Trump supporters ? The video is produced and designed with the intent of producing one sided extreme propaganda. I just judge it within that context is what I am saying.

I am not saying do not listen to him. I am saying listen to him and the responses he solicits from some protesters within the context of who he is, what his history is and what his intent was in making this video. In addition this systematic perversion of numbers , like there were 40,000 protesters, just pisses me off. It pisses me off when Paphitis does it. It pisses me when this guy does and it pisses me off when any body systematically makes up numbers that are not true. I do not not do this. never have. I can be wrong but I never just keep repeating a lie to suit my opinions. I am always suspicious of those who do do this kind of thing. I think everyone should be.

You take things emphatically too literally. Do you get indignant when you realise that, actually, there aren't hundreds and thousands on your cupcake?

We've said this a million times (get it? :roll: )

Bang, bang! :lol:

The state of Seattle is being sued in a class action lawsuit.

"For more than two weeks, and with the full knowledge and participation of the City, our clients' neighborhood and properties have been blocked, barricaded, occupied, and vandalized," the attorneys' statement reads.

The plaintiffs, which include retail and other businesses, say they have had to deal with constant harassment, loss of income, property damage, and an inability to safely enter or exit their homes and businesses.
"Our clients' lawsuit seeks to end the City's unprecedented decision to allow and endorse a private occupation of an entire neighborhood and leave it unchecked by the police," according to the statement.

They will get the bill now. :roll:

Avi Yemini is actually a very nice guy.

He is a public content creator, and has a very large following.

He has made many comments that the Victorian Chy-na Virus outbreak was as a result of this demonstration, but the Victorian Government are trying desperately to cover it up. As a result, Victoria faces isolation from the rest of Australia as it's almost impossible to travel there from another state without mandatory isolation. So no one will be going their without an important reason to do so.

AVI is one of the few commentators willing to take the Victorian Government on and inform the public on what is going on.

he is Jewsih and was a member of the Israeli Special Forces as a sniper.

he rustles so many feathers, the mainstream media are trying to silence him. But without the Avi, the Australian public will be further blinded by what out Government's do in our country. Our democracy gives people like Avi the freedom to put his viewpoints forward for public consumption.

Time and time again, he catches and highlights the hypocrisy of our Governments, and the restrictions which apply to every Australian citizen but not the BLM supporters.

Avi Yemini is actually very well known in Australia and will probably eventually get elected as an MP or Senator. he is young, vibrant and intelligent. And the Australian people are very lucky to have people like him.

In addition, he is married again, owns his own house and is planning to start a family with his new wife. he has never been known to be violent, even when confronted by police or other members of the public. On the contrary, he is far too intelligent and calm.

As for his so called conviction, there is no one who preaches so much against violence than Avi. He is in fact an advocate in his videos against violence perpetrated against women, especially rape and sexual crimes against women. As an individual, he is highly respected by his family, friends, and associates.

So many guys get accused of "violence" in a divorce, it has become almost the go to default by partners in order to get the upper hand in the family courts.

he is friends with Tommy Robinson, and the mainstream media bash him over it. he is entitled to be Tommy's friend.
