NP: You Are Being Lied To About Pirates

[Henry Musikar]

NO thank you for this!  I could have made it all up myself, and it would have been more reasonable/believable. Occam's razor, anyone?  Plato's cave?  If it smells like shit, it ain't Shinola!

If you don't believe (mainstream) news outlets, then why do you believe particular outliers?  Why is leftwing.com given a pass, and rightwing.com an automatic fail? This is where we need to ask for more information, and without reporting that is at least internally reasonable/logical, ask for more information!  I don't want another stupid revolution.

Meat, the New Boss (same as the old boss)!

Thanks for this.  I've read other articles suggesting that the spoils of piracy have enriched the coastal villages, as opposed to Corporate Banker-pirates who deposit their funds in personal bank accounts.
