  • It’s just… this event takes so much media attention when there are some other serious confirmed massacre in the states recently going unnoticed, like the 2019 Rachel and Hiko festival massacre in Nevada, where more then 1000 partygoers where vaporized by advanced unknown alien technology. 🙏

    Also, I found an hilarious article from 2009: Tiananmen killings: Were the media right?

    with absolute pearls like:

    We got the story generally right, but on one detail I and others conveyed the wrong impression. There was no massacre on Tiananmen Square.

    Looking back at the radio despatches I filed for the BBC […] “Eyewitnesses said thousands of troops later poured into the square, firing as they advanced. Tens of thousands of students and workers crouched in the centre of the square.” Scripts are often revised by hand at the last minute in the studio, but the actual words as broadcast probably did not differ considerably from these.

    aka "we actually don’t know what the fuck we were doing or saying…

    The Chinese government was quick to exploit the weaknesses in our reporting.

    …and we got rightfully mogged because we are weak."

    Shout-out to James Miles, the humiliation is peak here.


  • Are you just upset about the name implying people died *in* the square?

    Presumably to the west, where most of the fighting was happening.

    So which one is it? Is it the Tiananmen Square massacre or the “something to the west somewhere massacre idk”?

    from the link you shared:

    25 years ago, in the early morning, students died under the floats a stone’s throw from Tiananmen Square, on Heavenly Peace Avenue. They were the last to evacuate the square, retreating from the advance of the troops. They were part of a group of a few dozen young people, exhausted but not down, pushing their bikes and carrying their tired banners.

    We know the Americans love to instigate color revolutions around the world (last one in Iran), so sorry if I don’t scream “massacre” for a few dozen of dubious students. 🤷‍♂️

    Where is the massacre? It’s not me who talks about machine gun fire and tank shells with thousands of casualties. I guess the us government think you are a dumbo, if you think it’s disingenuous. Why do you let the us government dog-walk you like this?



  • SUMMARY DURING A RECENT MEETING, A LATIN AMERICAN DIPLOMAT AND HIS WIFE PROVIDED POLOFF AN ACCOUNT OF THEIR MOVEMENTS ON JUNE 3-4 AND THEIR EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT OF EVENTS AT TIANANMEN SQUARE. ALTHOUGH THEIR ACCOUNT GENERALLY FOLLOWS THOSE PREVIOUSLY REPORTED, THEIR UNIQUE EXPERIENCES PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INSIGHT AND CORROBORATION OF EVENTS IN THE SQUARE. THEY WERE ABLE TO ENTER AND LEAVE THE SQUARE SEVERAL TIMES AND WERE NOT HARASSED BY TROOPS. REMAINING WITH STUDENTS BY THE MONUMENT TO THE PEOPLE’S HEROES UNTIL THE FINAL WITHDRAWAL, THE DIPLOMAT SAID THERE WERE NO MASS SHOOTINGS OF STUDENTS IN THE SQUARE OR AT THE MONUMENT. END SUMMARY.

    A kind user linked an eye witness testimony of those days that you gleefully ignored it. It’s okay if you want to live in lalaland but please don’t spread US propaganda.
