  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Can you imagine yourself being maligned by your national broadcaster as an evil war criminal? Shooting at unarmed civilians. Having your whole nation perceive you as nothing more than a monster. Well, the ABC "investigative journalists" (pronounce as "liars") did just that to a commando called Heston Russell in 2022. Using doctored video and unreliable testimony from an American soldier to label Mr. Russell as war criminal. The video was found to have added in extra gunshots sound to make it look like an unhinged shooting of civilians. Even worse the American soldier said to not use his story as he admit that he can't recall correctly. On top of that Mr. Russell wasn't even in Afghanistan when the video was supposedly taken.

ABC was sued by Mr. Russell and the courts sided with Mr. Russell. Even after being caught ABC stood by their "journalists" and refuse to apologize to Mr. Russell.

To me the producers, investigative journalists and the ABC higher ups must be sentenced with the same punishment as an actual war criminal. Because if Mr. Russell would have failed to fend off this horrid hit piece by the "media", he could have been punished as a war criminal thus destroying his life forever. Today's western "journalists" have gotten too comfortable with running hit pieces without consequences.
