2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

Will read, thanks.

I didn't name the solution - the solution is the culture of coming clear, and the culture of it being followed up by the wide society, and the culture of legal relativity - as in Watergate, it was, ahem, illegal to break into someone's office, but that's not the important part.

If a politician today admits to things they've done that Mossad can blackmail them with - I'd expect rape, pedophilia, murders for pleasure, all that, because bribes alone are almost legal and it's very rare that someone gets prosecuted, - they'll be crucified for the act, their punishment won't be made softer by them coming clear, and the worst part is that there won't be any real investigation of the blackmailers.

There should be widespread understanding of the threats. All the cockroaches should be brought to light.
