Another thing I'll host on a torrent forever. Wanna see another (more important, in my opinion)?

Patriot Front had a huge leak of data in 2022 (400GB).

Patriot Front Fascist Leak Exposes Nationwide Racist Campaigns

You can download it at the following torrent address:

magnet:?xt=urn:btih:2c87816e4c81990fb25bbca43dd8d578eaa55886&dn=patriotfront&tr=udp%3A%2F%2F9.rarbg.to%3A2920&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.opentrackr.org%3A1337&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fexodus.desync.com%3A6969

I'm seeding this on a permanent basis. I have a gigabit uplink. Please leach and share. Expose these nazi fucks.

It's nice to have super fast internet and no bandwidth caps.

Just a heads up to people who found this a little confusing, like me:

This is NOT a bittorrent magnet link for the 60min segment. That can be found here (1.3GiB, over 200 seeders).

Thanks, seeding this now.

This is getting put on the seed box, thanks!

I am also seeding this (thanks to you actually).

Lka1988 - 13hr

Damn. I don't have 400GB to spare, otherwise I'd happily seed this one.

So has anyone here watched it? Other than Streisand effect, is there any reason for the fuss?

breezeblock @lemmy.ca - 1day

I have. It merely presents evidence for what we already knew: CECOT tortures inmates and sending non criminal Venezuelans there with no due process is morally wrong, inhumane, and maybe illegal.

Censoring it is merely pro regime propaganda. 60 minutes asked for a DHS response and they refused. There’s nothing wrong with the reporting.

and maybe illegal.

it's definitely illegal.

arrow74 @lemmy.zip - 17hr

For now anyway.

If I recall the only reason US rights apply to non-us citizens is a supreme court ruling. Scary to think about those implications

Probably breaks some international law too

FuglyDuck - 14hr

Fourteenth amendment’s equal protection clause says “no person shall be denied equal protection”, not “no citizen”

the same distinction is made in the fifth, “no person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without the due process of law”

The constitution is actually quite clear.

Edit to clarify: the SCROTUS is definitely going to come up with some reason to explain why words do not mean what they mean, but both trump’s actions and siding with him like that are in fact impeachable.

arrow74 @lemmy.zip - 13hr

Oh yeah it is, but like you said unless congress grows a pair scotus is rouge

solrize @lemmy.ml - 1day

It sounds like CBS's controversial new boss censored it, rather than the DHS.

SassySerf - 22hr

I haven't heard about Bari Weiss untill this 60 mins thing. I went and took a look at The Free Press site she is in charge of and I'm seeing lots of articles that are critical of the current administration.

Where is does this angle that's she is super pro-trump come from?

1
Zombie @feddit.uk - 21hr

You mean like how JD Vance was critical of Trump, to the point of calling him an idiot, unfit for office, reprehensible, and like Hitler?

Turns out, people just say things and then perform actions that say otherwise.

Judge people on their actions, not their words.

41
prole - 21hr

She's an open shill for AIPAC and Israel

16
BarneyPiccolo @lemmy.today - 16hr

I'm not so nuanced about traitors. If she's not actively opposing this government, then she's MAGA trash. She doesn't get to escape blame through careful parsing of her positions.

The very fact that Larry Ellison put her in charge of converting CBS News to an outlet of the Conservative Propaganda Machine convicts her as a MAGA.

7
Weydemeyer @lemmy.ml - 7hr

She’s like a less crass version of Bill Maher.

1
Fedizen @lemmy.world - 17hr

She built her career on being a "free speech person" opposed to callout culture etc but recent remarks show a more political bent where she wants to "redefine what is acceptable main stream speech".

She's not pro trump as much as she's anti left so in many ways she's just aligned ideologically with the fascist right and thinks they've been restricting the correct speech.

Besides the blatant censorship by a Trump sycophant?

Yes, that's the, question. Is there anything interesting in the videos.

15
floofloof @lemmy.ca - 1day

Why not watch the video and see? It's quite appalling. This is a brutal 24/7 torture hole that the USA is kidnapping innocent people and disappearing them to.

38
ninjabard @lemmy.world - 1day

It shows the truth behind illegal detainment. Which is diametrically opposed to the stance given by Trump and his suck ups.

35
muusemuuse @sh.itjust.works - 16hr

put trump in there.

jballs @sh.itjust.works - 19hr

Someone else linked it below (https://ia802801.us.archive.org/15/items/insidececot/60minutesCECOTsegment.mp4).

It's only a 15 minute watch, so worth checking out. The TLDW is that the US government is sending non-criminals seeking asylum to be tortured in El Salvador. 97% of people sent there have no criminal record. The people there were beaten, sexually assaulted, starved, denied access to medical care and clean water, forced to remain in stress positions, subject to bright light 24 hours a day, and/or thrown in pitch black isolation cells with no light.

aceshigh @lemmy.world - 16hr

There is nothing surprising about the video if you’ve been keeping up with the news and not making excuses. It’s just confirmation of what I’ve known.

11
XeroxCool @lemmy.world - 11hr

It's not a surprise to those of us, still scrolling through this thread of interest. And yet, there's still more people who weren't sure if the prior claims were true and yet more that still don't give a fuck.

3
gravitas_deficiency @sh.itjust.works - 19hr

Judge for yourself.

It’s simply a professional-grade investigative story on the conditions that were largely already known in bits and pieces; it rolls all of that up into a single segment, and is additionally corroborated by some people who were deported and thrown into CECOT without any justification.

LOL! The Internet has already had so many people archiving to their personal devices. It will get posted ad infinitum. That's how the Internet works you idiot conservatives.

68
circuscritic - 22hr

To fair, they pulled it before it was released.

This extra sloppy response is a result of someone internally leaking it.

26
bigfondue @lemmy.world - 22hr

There is a magnet link around if you want to share

BarneyPiccolo @lemmy.today - 17hr

The one thing you can always count on with PedoCons is their virtuosic incompetence.

Considering some contents in the Epstein files, I'm starting to wonder if the 60 Minutes thing is a desperate distraction

https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet 8/EFTA00020517.pdf

[Redacted 1] stated "he raped me." [Redacted 2] said "what" as [Redacted 1] replied "Donald J. Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein."

58
NauticalNoodle @lemmy.ml - 13hr

Well, yeah. We already know that Donald Trunp raped E. Jean Carroll, it only makes sense that he also raped Jeffrey Epstein.

[edit] sorry, bad joke but unfortunately we already know DJT is the worst type of sex offender

Seems like it got nicked

jballs @sh.itjust.works - 19hr

Well that's disturbing.

DarkFuture @lemmy.world - 16hr

Lol. So much of our media has been exposed as entirely useless and/or accomplices to a fascist regime.

I mean, I guess it's good to have the band-aid ripped off so we don't keep paying attention to them. It's just sad how pathetic it all is.

44
village604 @adultswim.fan - 13hr

The problem is the general population is completely unaware.

10
FlyingCircus @lemmy.world - 8hr

Or they are aware, they just don’t think they can do anything, so they do nothing.

2
BarneyPiccolo @lemmy.today - 17hr

They're issuing C&Ds to all the legit platforms, but the platforms I use don't give a flying fuck about C&Ds.

43
DarkFuture @lemmy.world - 16hr

Yup. And an increasing percentage of citizens are using those platforms who don't give a flying fuck. Because the other platforms can't serve us effectively under a fascist regime.

16
some_guy @lemmy.sdf.org - 21hr

Makes me sad when shitbag nazis fail at being authoritarian fucks. No, not really. Eat shit, Bari Asshole.

36
UnderpantsWeevil @lemmy.world - 19hr

I mean, they succeeded in so far as it wasn't included in the US National broadcast. The overwhelming majority of CBS viewers will not see this. YouTube won't host it. You won't see it on TikTok. You won't see it trending on Twitter. Anyone with the genuine impulse to search out the video doesn't need convincing that CECOT is operating as a horrifying torture and death camp for victims of an American pogrom.

That Weiss was sloppy in her management of CBS won't matter in the long run, because stories like this won't be funded for research and broadcast in the future, either. The network is being strangled to death and replaced with a full lineup of segments starring Steven Crowder screaming "What is a woman!?!" at college freshmen in between ads for PragerU.

31
BarneyPiccolo @lemmy.today - 17hr

I'm the only person in my family who watches 60 Minutes, but tonight, the whole family is watching this video.

Edit: We watched it. I thought I was going to have to pirate it, but it showed up on my YouTube feed, so it was still up at about 11 PM EST.

15
FuglyDuck - 1day

Yeah. so like

It's on the internet, and unlike a diamond ring, the internet is truly forever.

UnderpantsWeevil @lemmy.world - 19hr

Tell that to Wikileaks.

whyNotSquirrel @sh.itjust.works - 23hr

Okay it's not a censored/redacted version of an episode but an episode that is (fully) censored, if anyone else was as confused as me.

24
massive_bereavement - 22hr

"There's no business like show business" and other Barbra Streisand great effects, I mean hits.

21
Mihies @programming.dev - 1day

Why do they even bother censoring it at this point? Like this is something MAGA isn't drooling over and have no issues with whatsoever.

21
Bone - 1day

They'd probably take issue with the man speaking on behalf of the Venezuelans. And that he pointed out only 3% were the violent criminals the Trump administration claims all to be.

17
Mihies @programming.dev - 1day

But that's nothing new. There are ton of reports saying the same, yet MAGA won't listen, why would they listen now?

20
UltraGiGaGigantic @lemmy.ml - 8hr

Maybe they cant read and need the video to tell them?

So many Trumpists are beating off to it, it's been classified as pr0n and we can't have that on a family-friendly MAGA network!

aceshigh @lemmy.world - 16hr

How long is the total video?

1
Fuckfuckmyfuckingass @lemmy.world - 16hr

It's like 15 minutes.

Aljernon @lemmy.today - 8hr

Anyone helping this be seen by the people, by linking, hosting, mirroring it, is a god damn hero in my book

14
NutWrench - 21hr

Part 1 of the CBS CECOT report was on YouTube yesterday. I already snagged a 720p copy. It doesn't seem censored or edited.

12
BarneyPiccolo @lemmy.today - 17hr

The censorship charge is not about a portion of the video, it's the ENTIRE video that was censored by not airing it.

10
NotMyOldRedditName @lemmy.world - 10hr

I wonder if it really was a mistake at global, or someone was like fuck it, this should be released, and didn't take action to stop it.
