Secrecy and virtue signalling: another view of Signalgate : Comments

By Binoy Kampmark, published 4/4/2025

There has been a fascinating, near unanimous condemnation among the cognoscenti about the seemingly careless addition of Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic to the chat chain of Signal by US National Security Advisor Michael Waltz.

Goldberg is former IDF who ran back to Israel at the first opportunity to kill Palestinians. Hardly non-bias.

Yemen is acting responsibly to stop genocide and the U.S. is bombing them for it

'Yemen's Red Sea blockade in defense of Palestinians is squarely supported by international law. But the country is being ruthlessly bombed by the U.S. to ensure Israeli impunity for its continued siege and genocide in Gaza.'

"The U.S. is bombing Yemen because Yemen is acting, as required by international law, to stop the genocide and unlawful siege in Palestine.
This is not an editorial opinion. It is a statement of both law and fact.
Neither of these facts has been featured in the reporting or commentary of Western media corporations, let alone in the statements of perpetrator governments like the U.S.
Because to perpetrate a genocide in plain sight requires the suppression of the truth and the obscuring of the law...

You obviously feel very comfortable wrapped in you progressive Leftist rags around Binnoy, a fellow traveller.

Modoweiss: this stuff is doing your head in mate.

Aren't you interested in getting to the truth?

Goldberg is a former IDF soldier. He's a hardline supporter of Israel. He's long been chummy with many in the US government. He was used by Dick Cheney to conjure up a non-existent link between al-Qaeda and Saddam Hussein and help create support for the disastrous invasion of Iraq.
The Houthis are targeting ships carrying weapons into Israel. They're doing so to help end the genocide in Gaza and are the only ones in the world to do so. And the US is bombing them for it.
And instead of condemning the obscenity of the US killing 53 innocent Yemeni civilians, all our media can talk about is, shock horror, the government's planning discussions being insecurely leaked to a journalist. Nothing at all about the enormous atrocity of the act itself.
These are all facts. And unlike your good self, AC is across them all. And no, it's not doing his head in. He's one of the most lucid and clear-headed contributors to this forum. And Binoy is another.

The Democrats are a spent force, never to return hopefully. As for the useful idiots that follow their radical Leftist agendas like yourself for good example, for them the brain washing is complete and irreversible. Sad!
The hope is though, working on the overpowering emotion of Antisemitism in you may just, with luck, trigger enough awareness to recognise reality and truth behind the lies peddled through such media channels as ABC/SBS, BBC, poor simple minded AC’s latest contribution ( link above), Al Jazeera, and the slew of Qatar captured outlets, too numerous to mention.

Good luck with your unwavering support from inside the enemy camp, for the Jihadist march against Democracy!

Pathetic.
- The mentality that says if we can't argue the facts, then attack the person who said it.
The reason it's pathetic, is because if Hitler was raised from the dead tomorrow and said 'the sky is blue', you'd attack him and say he's wrong, just because he was the one who said it, that's how ridiculous it is.

But I can't exactly talk, because I've got this 'War on stupid'.
If someone says something stupid, I'll tell them so, and if they argue the point, effectively 'doubling down on stupid' then I say they're stupid.

But ultimately it really comes down to what Bronwyn said:
"Aren't you interested in getting to the truth?"
- And I already know the answer, no you're not.
Not many people do, their heads are full of lies, mistruths and bias.

I don't support the Wests sanctions and overthrows and endless wars.
Said it a million times.

You now and again speak against Islam right?
Well who has been enraging them for the last 3 decades?
And whose wars made those Islamic extremists inhabit our western societies?

Netanyahu:
"I would say that our cooperation goes deeper than that because I believe we are fighting a similar battle for the future of our common civilization. Our Judeo-Christian civilization, Western civilization as we understand it, it's under assault right now from one powerful corner and that is radical Islam. Radical Islam in the Middle East is spearheaded by one country, and that is Iran."

Netanyahu's full of it.
What Judeo-Christian civilisation?
It's all clever bs narrative to manipulate support for Israel, its past and future atrocities.
Israel's a terrorist state with an 'end justifies the means attitude'.
- Genocidal land theives really.
His wars fostered Muslims to become enraged, dispersed them into all our countries, bringing upon the West inevitable total destruction, look at the UK.
And the US and Israel have created more carnage on this planet than Iran ever could, I showed you the Clean Break policy paper and Wesley Clarks '7 wars in 5 years' statement.
You must have cognitive dissonance.

Hi Bronwyn,

It's not easy getting to the truth in a world of lies.
- Especially when everyone treats you like you're the enemy.
