I’ll go first: r/kitty. One of the hundred grillion cat subs back on Reddit, the culture in this one was you posted a cat picture, and the only word allowed in the title or in any comments or replies was “Kitty.”

Someone is using that subreddit for covert communications, I just know it. Either on the level of “if u/PM_me_your_nostrils posts an orange cat, we attack at dawn!” or there’s some steganography going on with the pictures, but that subreddit was too stupid to be as active as it was.

    The Bin Laden killing was a hoax. That guy died year ago because he was on dialysis machines that wouldn’t really function well somewhere deep in the Pakistani mountains. Or maybe he was actually in that house they raided at some point. But the message came out of nowhere like around the time of the reelection campaign. And they never showed a body. But then they even came up with some BS excuse that a sea burial would be Islamic tradition. Also if they really found him why wouldn’t they just arrest him and give him a process? I’m not buying it.

      There are photos and a DNA test that were not shared publicly. It’ll be a good FOIA request in 50 years.

      i agree. it’s very strange they immediately disposed of his body and never showed proof. and then a few years later there was that scandal where multiple people were claiming to be the seal that shot him. seems fishy to me

        never showed proof

        Do… do you think that these forces always snap a pic of the body they just killed and post it to social media and msm? When was the last time you saw proof of death for one of these targets taken down by special forces. I’ll wait.

          I would definitely take some selfies if I just headshotted Osama. Like they were allegedly doing some epic firefight with him inside his bedroom? Least you can do is pose with him. But no pictures at all? I smell bullshit.

          Okay that was me shitposting, but seriously, if you take down Osama out of nowhere after 10 years of silence, the lack of any kind of proof is very fishy imo.
