As it turns out, the veteran journalist was right:
He didn't do it for the money. In fact, at the time, he didn't even know there would be a payout - albeit, in his case, secret. What disheartened him the most was to learn that politics work the same way the world over, including this one country. As in: the president or prime minister wants credit, regardless if he or she deserves it, and his or her subordinates are willing to go along - including in this one part of the state. What happened, exactly? He saw something and said something. It's ironic, given the current environment, that he and his family have finally been granted passage out of their native country, where they've been in danger. If they made a movie about what really happened, it might not win any awards, but at least it would be accurate.

ReplyDeleteSorry tried to type the name of a Ukrainian journo on Russia’s hitlist but gave up... notbsuee itvwould fit either. Maybe there’s an Assange angle -no clue 🧞♂️Time to swim lol
ReplyDeleteEmilio Gutierrez Soto\Chicuacua Mexico. About the Mexican military robbing and extorting citizens. Granted asylum here last month after being detained by ICE for months
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like the Canada-Saudi dispute. Justin Trudeau never met a camera he didn't like.
ReplyDelete“Justin Trudeau never met a camera he didn't like.” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
DeleteI almost hope there’s a sex tape to smear his fake ass. But euwwwww.
Erdogan/Turkey??
ReplyDeleteNutty_flavor more like a camera and cameraman never met a Trudeau moment it/he didn't like.

ReplyDeleteI like the Canada/Trudeau guess. Never liked that little shitbag.
ReplyDeleteME NEITHER!!!!!!! Can’t stand him. I know most politcians fake (I have a few in my own family—both pre-democracy and post-revolution, so I know how they cann Ben very different people from what the version the public think they know, this isn’t just me hating on someone).
DeleteBut if the average politician is 30% PR 70% substance, Trudeau is probably like 60% GOOD BOY PR and 40% substance.
I hate his fake as so much he’s literally #1 on my list of celebrities I dislike:
1. Justin Trudeau’s fake ass
2. Some irrelevant famehoe I codenamed “Saint Sketchy”
3. Some poser I conenamed “Faux Feminist” (honey when you’re in the Top 4 with Justin Trudeau’s fake ass, you know you’re fake AF—I’m sure you <3 his fake ass too).
4. Elon Musk (love how many CDAN commenters would agree with me on this one)
5. Captain America/Steve Rogers
Like I dislike him so much that when I want to buy a Canadian product, I have to remind myself that Rachel McAdams and a Canadian lady I worked with twice (or any other Canadian whose a decent human being) exist, because I hate the idea of my money going through Canadian taxes and paying for his fake ass. 🖕🏼🖕🏼

ReplyDeleteIt’s always about the money. 🤣
Namaste, baby! 😂✌🏼

ReplyDeleteWhat's this hatred for our Prime Minister? He's a decent human being trying to do a hard job. At least he's not on the golf course 24/7 like your "great" leader.
ReplyDelete@ron hobbs
ReplyDeleteHe's also an incompetent buffoon who is going to drive your country down the gutter. He's putting politics over the well being and interests of your country. Let's see if you care about him being a decent human being when you end up jobless.
John M - what a pathetic, baseless load of crap, your opinions are so idiotic they are simply not worthy of attention or respect.
ReplyDelete@John
ReplyDelete"He's putting politics over the well being and interests of your country. "
What do you know about it? What's your basis for this conclusion?
Assuming you are US American, what do you think of having a president that serves his own fortune over the interests of his country?
Don't tell me! You think those Harley jobs are coming back any day now! Go Big Coal! We really want those mining jobs!
Love the way plotsky waited to see if G was around before piping up...
ReplyDelete@the strangely new All X's
ReplyDeleteCall him over! The camel diddler is welcome as always.
ron hobb, your leader is the fucking laughing stock of the entire world. Perfect poster child for liberal pc-ness: never had a real job, doesn't know his ass from his elbow, plays dress up when visiting other countries, say shit like 'we don't say mankind in Canada, we say PEOPLEkind'.
ReplyDeleteYou should be fucking embarrassed you have that soy boy at the top.
"ron hobb, your leader is the fucking laughing stock of the entire world."
ReplyDeleteThe world is not your small county of smalls.
The world is LAUGHING at Donny Moscow, dude. Why, you should see the graffiti and read the editorials. Nary a mention of Trudeau at all.
But I guess that's all a librul conspiracy in your country of smalls.
You then would likely be surprised at the variety of opinions on Trump in non-Western countries, but don't let me contradict the authority of CDAN's poster child for liberal white racism.
DeleteIt's usually called 'country club' but everyone knows she can't afford the membership since the days of the blog boom.
Plot, as many many MANY others have reiterated: you are the laughing stock here.
ReplyDeleteYou, out of all commenters, have absolutely no gravitas, in determining who is taken seriously anywhere, in anything, at anytime.
Nobody takes you seriously. I venture a bet, that it's the exact same on the outside world for you.
You are a sad, very lonely, needy and mentally deranged person.
Now cry me some of them liberal tears please, you loser. Love those.
Nice timing yo
DeleteConservative on this site crack me up. So pathetic and so desperate.
ReplyDelete@Depeche
ReplyDelete"you are the laughing stock here."
Then I'm happy to be a source of amusement.
"have absolutely no gravitas"
Rather be light as butterfly, sting like a bee. Fine by me.
"Nobody takes you seriously."
As a rare being who knows the opinions of absolutely everyone, I'll take your word for it.
"You are a sad, very lonely, needy and mentally deranged person. "
Is it easier to imagine that than confront what I write? That is normally the case with those kinds of sad projections, which can't imagine anything outside a personal predicament.
"Now cry me some of them liberal tears please"
There, there, pet. The tears are all yours. Look at the toddler rage above.
The Saudi's basically admitted to carrying out 9/11 and threatened Canada with similar and this is not front page news!?! Agree Trudeau is a corrupt joke of a P.M. though.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know Larry A. Silverstein was a Saudi. It's crazy how many Saudi dual citizens are in congress. The collusion investigation should really focus on all the Saudi influence.
ReplyDeleteJustin tried to act like Canada is a country who opinion matters, and found out it (and he) didn't. (deep breath.....) hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Canada matters a hell of a lot more because Trump tanked TPP. It's a better treaty without the USA, a whole lot better, and a great boon to Canada.
ReplyDeleteGood old Donny, always thinking of others - killing our excellent treaties for Saudi Arabia, giving our State Dpt to Russia, handed over a great treaty to Canada to helm. Such a giving guy.
I don’t get the Trudeau hate, especially from Americans. He isn’t perfect. Personally, I think he was thrown into the race too soon. He’s idealistic, which doesn’t quite work in the real world, and he tries to be everything to everyone. But he’s trying, not just for himself but his country. He fucking LOVES Canada, and I am so very grateful he’s leading our country while Trump is in office. If Harper was still in charge they’d have to surgically remove his tongue from Donald’s puckered asshole, and we would have been in danger of assimilation.
