5SOS in their friends posts while they were on their Bali trip — Jan. 1st, 2016

[boricuacherry-blog]

The man with the cross on his arm has been identified and is not related to Mekayla's disappearance.

16 year-old Mekayla Bali has been missing since April 12th, 2016. According to her mother, Paula Bali, that day began as any typical day would for Mekayla. The two chatted as they got ready for the day, before Mekayla’s maternal grandmother picked them up to drive Paula to work and Mekayla to school. Paula was dropped off first, and then Mekayla was dropped off at her high school in Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada around 8:20am. When her grandmother went back to the school to pick her up that afternoon, Mekayla wasn’t waiting for her. Her grandmother then went inside to see if Mekayla was there, but teachers and peers said they had not seen her for most of the day. Her grandmother then drove to Paula’s office to let her know that Mekayla was missing from school. Paula checked to see if Mekayla had gone to her after school music lessons early, but she was not there, either. A few hours after that, Mekayla was reported missing to Yorkton authorities.

Mekayla’s family later learned that she walked off her school’s campus just 10 minutes after being dropped off that morning and was seen at several different locations in the hours that followed. Mekayla’s first known stop was a local pawn shop. However, Paula does not believe that Mekayla pawned anything; as nothing valuable was missing from their home. After leaving the pawn shop, surveillance footage captured Mekayla at a T.D. Bank, where she withdrew a small amount of money. Mekayla’s next known stop was at a nearby Tim Horton’s, where surveillance footage captured her entering the cafe around 9am and buying a coffee. Mekayla’s family and friends do not know why she went to any of those locations that morning. In an interview with Dateline, Paula told reporters, “this is absolutely unusual behavior for her. She wasn’t a class skipper. It seemed like she was waiting for someone.” Despite this,  surveillance footage revealed that Mekayla did not meet anyone at Tim Horton’s. She was captured looking around the parking lot before returning to school grounds.

Mekayla’s return to school was very brief. Sometime during the short period of time she was there, she sent a text message to two of her friends that said “I need help.” Just moments later, though, that message was followed by another one that said “Don’t worry, I figured it out.” Her friends shrugged it off and expected to catch up with Mekayla at lunch that afternoon, but surveillance footage revealed that Mekayla had left the school again before lunchtime. Mekayla then walked almost a mile to Trail Stop Restaurant, which was connected to a bus station. There were no cameras inside the restaurant or bus station, but witnesses state that Mekayla arrived at the restaurant around 12pm, ate lunch there, and then left around 1:45pm. She has never been seen or heard from again after that.

Police are actively investigating Mekayla’s case. No suspects have been publicly named, however police are hoping to identify a male person of interest. That man was seen at the Trail Stop Restaurant at the same time as Mekayla and has a large tattoo of a cross on his forearm. No additional details on this man’s identity have been revealed. If you have any information about this person’s identity or about Mekayla’s whereabouts, please contact the Royal Canadian Mounted Police tip line at (639) 625-4100.

My vote goes to Vampire Assassin, Hack-O-Lantern, and Cathy's Curse, which is also just my favorite BOTW episode in general.

Happy Spooky Season, RLMblr! 👻🎃🦇

the urge to just. rant about how sometimes the prospect of getting famous can be a damned if you do damned if you don't (and no one actually cares about your mental health) as well as how well meaning people (and I can't speak for anywhere but australia) perpetuate such bad ableism and colonial racism in the name of helping people. it's like spin the wheel for an off chance something actually does do good for you (and that's why it's so beautiful when it does happen!)

Omg i never get asks even when my posts get popular this is actually exciting 😭 but yes omg!!!! I could talk about the fame thing and young artists literally for HOURS like the system is genuinely so rigged. one direction and 5sos and jb and shawn mendes and countless others were so preyed upon in plain sight and the fangirls were too young to actually realize it. Rewatching some clips now as a 22 year old sometimes genuinely makes me nauseous. Like wdym you had 18-20 year olds naked on a rolling stones cover and gave a 16 year old the "womanizer". LIKE HUH????? JB being SAd ON TV???? Conversations about fame never include the young men and I'm sick of it. and even when they get with women. Like luke and arzaylea??? He had to go through a very toxic relationship very unbelievably publicly and it was being criticized every single day. The men are purposely being marketed in a way that promotes parasocial relationships. Its crazy. A few weeks ago i went back on Twitter for the first time since 2016 ( i deleted the app after the bali trip i genuinely couldnt take it anymore) and i ended up in a BIG rabbit hole about crystals age conspiracy theories and alleged group chats with sierra and her relationship with luke or whatever. I had to step back and say "honestly, even if IT IS true, whats it to me? I dont know these people. God i love them so much and want the world for them. But i dont know them. Any opinion i might have is worthless, and this is baseless gossip." Like more than a decade in and we're STILL doing this?? Like im so old now, are you guys not as old??

Mekayla Bali's disappearance on April 12, 2016, from her hometown of Yorkton, Saskatchewan, has remained a haunting mystery, capturing the attention of both law enforcement and the public. The 16-year-old Canadian was last seen at a local bus stop between 1:00 and 1:45 p.m., sparking a frantic search effort that has yet to yield any definitive leads. The day before her diappearance, she visited the bank to have $25 wired to her account. Later, she texted several friends that she was upset and needed help with something, but no further explanation was provided. The day she went missing was marked by a series of perplexing events, adding layers to the enigma surrounding her case. She texted a friend at around 6:41am asking for a ride to the bank again, but the friend declined since the bank was closed. Her grandmother then drove her to school at around 8:10am. Surveillance cameras showed her putting her binder in her locker and then slipping out the back entrance. She hiked all the way to the bank, where she withdrew $55. She then went to a Wendy's/Tim Horton's restaurant, where, for the next hour or so, she exhibited strange behaviour. Footage shows her disassembling her phone and then reassembling it. Multiple times she left the restaurant, wandered around, and then re-entered. She spent much of her time talking on the phone and texting, including a friend whom she asked for help with something, only to follow it up with ''Nevermind I figured it out''. She also asked a random customer for help with renting a hotel room, but was turned down. At around 11am, she went to the bus stop and asked a stranger when the next stop to Regina would be. Since the bus wasn't going to arrive until 5pm, she left without purchasing a ticket and went back to school for the lunch period, where she met with friends and told them she was planning a trip to Regina. At around 12:03pm, she departed from school and went to a Trail Stop Restaurant, which was attached to a bus stop. She ordered food and left about an hour later. She was never seen by eyewitnesses again, nor was she captured on surveillance footage anywhere. Police were able to confirm she did not get on any bus that day, either. Over the years, various theories have emerged regarding Bali's disappearance, ranging from the possibility of her running away to concerns about human trafficking or falling victim to an online predator. Despite reported sightings and extensive police investigations, including the review of hundreds of hours of surveillance footage and interviews with potential witnesses, Bali's whereabouts remain unknown, leaving her family in agonizing uncertainty.

February 13th 2019

Daniella Walker. The name that is mainstream as she was making her way into the music scene as what the internet calls their "pop princess."

Daniella first had internet fame how everyone does in the early 2010's, by posting on Youtube. From the age of 16 she started posting covers of her singing different popular songs at the time ranging from Halsey to Ariana Grande. First viral video being her cover of Honeymoon Avenue from the album Yours Truly.

Her life changed at 19 when one of her self produced songs called Speechless dropped and became an overnight sensation. Flying from her home country of London, England to countless radio interviews to her first American Music Awards as an attendee and performer at.

That’s when she met some of her longtime friends in the music industry, 5 Seconds of Summer. She met them because she accidentally bumped into a red haired Micheal as she was coming off stage and they were about to take the stage. The two gushing over much they enjoyed each other’s music.

She was a huge Amnesia fan.

Over the years they continued to keep contact with one another. She was featured on their 3rd album Youngblood on their song Want You Back as backing vocals.

Daniella had also become a regular feature in 5SOS content. As well as being posted on their respective girlfriend’s Instagram’s pretty frequently.

For a little while she was considered a groupie when she went to Bali with them in 2016. Until stan twitter quickly defended her from the trolls on the internet claiming how do they not know her.

She was now 24 standing in line at her favorite local coffee and bagel spot in downtown Los Angeles. The line continued move at a slow pace as she hummed along to the beat in her airpods she been sent the night previous. She was absolutely in love with it. She had a studio session set with Max Martin that she definitely couldn't be late for.

He's worked with artists like Taylor Swift, Kelly Clarkson, Ariana Grande, and Britney Spears.

It's been a dream of hers to work with him and only her 3rd album that is saying she's gotta be doing something right.

She finally approached Bailey, one of the cashiers she had blossomed a friendship from after being a regular here for 4 months.

"Everything bagel with a side of strawberry cream cheese and Iced Americano double shot with light ice and vanilla creamer!" She shouted to the back. "Hey Daniella."

A smile was plastered on her face. "Hey girlfriend! You'll never believe what I've got planned today." She started as she dug in her purse for her card to hand over for her to swipe.

"Please you're literally a pop star. If you told me you were going to meet up with Kim Kardashian I would probably believe you." She stated in her strong jersey accent as she handed the card back.

"No I wish, but on my bucket list though, maybe I could get a discount on those Skims bodysuits I like. Anyways besides the point here, somehow managed to get a studio session with Max Martin! And cherry on top, the guys are showing up with Ryan fucking Tedder.” She said excitedly as she moved off to the side of the line so other people could move.

"See this is what I mean. It's Thursday at nine in the morning and you're going to work with your hot Australian friends and I'm here covered in flour all day while dealing with the bitches in the back and isn't Max Martin that Swedish dude who's written and produced for basically every A list singer." She leaned against the register.

"Yeah it's so exciting is it not. And Alexis you're so talented at making bagels. Hone in on that." She joked making the curly haired blonde roll her eyes in fake annoyance.

“Your accent makes this sound all posh Dani.”

“Oh whatever.”

"Your beautiful everything bagel and iced coffee m'lady." Bailey turned around to the kitchen workers as she handed her two paper bags one full of her favorite little snacks and the other with her bagel.

"Oh my goodness, you didn't have to do th-." She started.

"Oh please shut up yes I did. You're gonna be late with the hot guys.”

“Text me when you can, I'd love to hear all about it." She smiled.

"Will do."

As she was on the highway on the way to the studio her mind was clouded with thoughts some negative some positive, but mostly negative.

Before she knew it she was finding a parking spot and walking into Capitol Records.

Showing security her badge, she looked down at her Apple Watch and cursed, realizing she was going to be late if she didn’t climb the stairs in under 2 minutes. Thank god for her zumba classes she’s been taking.

Once she figured out what studio she was gonna be in for the next 6 hours, she spotted his long hair and glasses talking to Ryan and the four men sat in the couch in the corner. All of them laughing at something on Luke's phone. She knocked bringing their attention to her standing at the door slightly out of breath.

"Daniella! Pleasure to finally meet you." Max said getting up from the comfy chair to give her hug.

"So nice to meet you too. I'm so incredibly excited and I also see you've invited some of my good friends." She stated nudging Ryan's elbow.

"He had a lot of positive things to say about you." He said sitting back down.

"Daniella you probably know them," Ryan gestured to the men sitting on the couch.

"Know them. These guys are basically a second family to me." She joked.

"I hope you don't mind that I decided to bring them along here to hopefully do some live instrumentals for ya." He told her looking at her with a smile.

"Oh my goodness not at all! It actually sounds so cool. I’ve missed these guys." She smiled widely.

Micheal stood up and gave her a brotherly hug. “Have you gotten shorter?” He joked making Daniella give him the bird.

“Haven’t you gotten weirder.”

“Touché.”

Ashton was next, giving her another squeeze and pat on the head.

Then Luke who did their handshake they made up in Bali together, that neither of them forgot even after 4 years.

Finally it was Calum who smiled at her first and then suddenly picked up her up and spun her around in a circle, earning a loud laugh from Daniella and his signature smile that she still got butterflies from.

Even after her 6 years of knowing him, he still makes her blush like a school girl.

“Alright everyone let’s get to work to hear this beautiful voice of hers.” Max stated turning around and facing the recording booth as Daniella walked in and put on her headphones.

Two hours passed as Daniella stood in the recording booth, recording the second verse. She was mumbling the possible verse in the microphone. The song had a Lorde lyricism with Ariana Grande singing vibe.

She and Max had titled the song Selfish. Max and Ryan giving her corrections if needed. Other than the couple comments or corrections from the group she had total artistic freedom and she loved that.

“Could we leave that first half blank of that chorus and I’ll stack some more vocal layers on that run.” Daniella suggested over the noise of the metronome. “Thank you.”

“Yup sounds amazing.”

While Ryan was stacking her vocals, she leaned next to Ashton's drum kit and told him what pace she needed for the chorus.

Calum was fiddling with his bass strings trying to tune them when Daniella walked over. “So what’s your big opinion on it??”

“I think it sounds bloody brilliant.” He said in a Scottish accent.

“Don’t make fun of the Scottish people.”

“You always seem to forget I’m half Scottish and you’re literally British.” He laughed as she hit his tattooed arm slightly.

Max leaned into Micheal's headset, "Okay Mike start from when Daniella comes in at "I used to be cautious about this and stop when the beat drops back down to the acoustic version that we have prepared.”

3 more hours passed as their session ended and Daniella so proud of the song they had made and gotten mastered.

"Alright, could we schedule another one for Friday morning? We’ve got selfish crossed off the list. We could get started on Messier Things as well." Max asked her looking at his calendar.

She nodded with a thumbs up. "That should work with me."

"It was so good to finally see you guys today. What’s new in the wonderful world of 5SOS land." She asked the boys as they were walking to a lunch spot on the less crowded side of LA so the likelihood of them all being noticed and ambushed by paparazzi was a zero percent chance.

“Going on a promo tour for Easier. Thats literally all. New York, LA, Atlanta, and some overseas.” Ashton said laughing.

"Well whatt are you guys doing for the day of love that happens to be tomorrow." She asked wiggling her fingers together.

"Spending time with Sierra." Luke quickly answered with a smile. He loves that woman more than air it seems. But it’s good to see him so happy.

"Crystal wants to go see some new movie." Micheal stated with a raised eyebrows. He probably had no clue but he was with Crystal and thats all he cared about.

“Oo lemme know if you need a dog sitter. I’ll bring Pepper. Y’know she loves Moose and Southy.”

"Probably just a dinner with KayKay." Ashton’s bright smile came up whenever he talked about KayKay.

"Absolutely nothing." Calum said quickly with a slight eye roll. She knew how he felt about Valentine's Day. He hated that day with every fiber in his being.

"We could spend it together Cal, I'm not doing anything either. It can be like old times!" Reminiscing on when they would go their favorite Ramen restaurant in the city and rewatch Criminal Minds at his house whenever they were both free.

As much as only everyone around them knows, they've had a flirty relationship ever since they've met. But what they don’t know is they claim they’re just friends who have occasionally kissed each other, slept in the same bed, and she's worn his clothes more than once but just friends.

But due to them being too awkward to act upon their obvious feelings, they have no official label on whatever they are.

"Ramen on Melrose it is." He laughed making Daniella laugh along with him.

God, I fucking hate the morons that go "Here come the dummies making comments about animal abuse!!! It's called conservation, sweaty <3" because they're so fucking obnoxiously uneducated, it's not even funny. Like you said, REAL conservation sites will not let you feed the animals, for one thing, and I also literally volunteer at a raptors rescue center in which TONS of our birds had to be rescued from horrible fucking "owl cafe" type locations in which the birds are neglected and treated like decorations rather than living fucking creatures. These people have LITERALLY NO IDEA how bad these places are for the animals, and yet they pretend like they do, they're literally telling on themselves by showing how fucking stupid they are. In an ACTUAL conservation center like mine, we do have flight shows and we have SOME birds that we allow customers to pet and hold (ones that have been with us for years and that we know have the temperament for it, as well as it having to happen with a staff member present and not for long periods of time) but after that, they get put back into their own enclosures. Repeat, ENCLOSURES, that are large, and with space for them to move and fly as they please. Not one fucking stick that they're goddamn chained to for people to gawk at. These people are tone-deaf, brainless idiots if they genuinely believe those cafes are suitable environments for wild animals. To all Vivzie stans that are defending her support of these places, from the bottom of my heart, fuck you, you horrific, awful, animal abuse enablers. That is what you are, no matter how much you yell and cry that it's not. Fuck you.

It's absolutely maddening. The smug "um, it's called conservation sweaty, it's being rehabilitated in a sanctuary" remarks on the false killer whale burned me the most because cetaceans are my thing in the way birds are yours and there are very few real sanctuaries for cetaceans.

One is the Umba Lumba Center in West Bali, which rehabilitates and releases show dolphins and cares for those who can't. The beluga whale sanctuary in Iceland is another. They're trying to set up one in Nova Scotia, and the Baltimore Aquarium has (ostensibly) been trying ever since 2016.

Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, where Viv visisted, is not one of these. Okinawa Churaumi keeps Taiji dolphins.

Come back to Japan! PART 1.

Finally yeaaayy

Setelah 8th berlalu, akhirnya bisa menginjakkan kaki lagi di Jepang (walau rasanya masih seperti mimpi) . Aku mulai ceritanya berawal dari 2th lalu beli HP baru terus pingin ganti foto pas kondisi HP terkunci, aku taro foto bunga sakura karna ingetin aku waktu cherry blossom 2016 lalu.

Disusul dengan mertua info kalau nanti ada rezeki, kita liburan yuk, kemana enaknya? Singapore? Jepang? Lalu aku jawab "Kalau Jepang aku ikut ma." Terus Agustus tahun kemarin mertua info yaudah kita ke Jepang Oktober ya, tapi waktunya kayak terlalu mepet apalagi suami jatah cutinya udah abis yaudah jadi mundur ke musim sakura, yang mana aku kayak ini beneran nih bisa liat sakura lagi???

Singkat cerita setelah urusan e-paspor dan visa beres, H-1 sempet ada drama karna kita lupa info ke airlines nomer epaspor baru, masih pake paspor yang lama wkwk. Tapi aku jempolin banget buat CS China Airlines Bali yg bantu kita satset, thankyou so much Pak Ngurah for helping us ngelebin travel yang kita pake. Kita take off jam 1.40 pagi, jam 2an dibangunin makan, padahal sebelumnya kita udah makan jam 11 jadi aku bangun makan, tidur lagi eh udah transit.

Ini pengalaman baru juga transit di Taiwan. Banyak tempat seru buat main games, wifinya super kenceng, jadi ga terlalu berasa transit 4 jam. Sampai Jepang jam 5 sore, sempet bermasalah sama imigrasi elektronik karna yang ribet beberapa staf imigrasi Jepang terbatas bahasa inggrisnya jadi diarahin ke yg bisa bahasa Inggris. Cuma mereka bilang "Ini hanya masalah kecil, harusnya ga sulit kok jadi tenang aja ya." Yang ternyata masalahnya memang karna suami salah masukin tanggal kedatangan jadi gagal terus ketika di scan hahaha.

Urusan imigrasi kelar, dari Narita kita nginep di Asakusabashi, sekitar 55 menit dari airport. Kita naik kereta. Pas naik ada 1 bangku kosong jadi aku duduk di situ, eh ternyata depannya juga ada kosong jadi aku suru suami duduk di situ. Setelah beberapa stasiun, orang yg duduk di sampingnya samping aku turun, tapi depannya ada yang berdiri. Eh bapak samping aku pindah ke situ terus pake bahasa isyarat nyuru suamiku pindah ke samping aku biar kita bisa duduk sebelahan. Tapi karna ada orang yg masih berdiri kita ga enak suru suami pindah ke samping aku. Jadinya kita suru yang berdiri duduk di bangku suami dan suami pindah ke samping aku. Eh orang yang berdiri tetep ga mau duduk yaudah hahaha. Pas bapaknya turun beliau ngebungkuk ke kita kasi salam, kita juga ikut say thankyou. Sungguh hal hal begini sih yang bikin seneng ke Jepang.

Pas turun kereta auto kaget sama cuacanya yang ternyata dingin banget. Yowes aku langsung ke hotel dan besok paginya kita jalan jalan, lanjut di PART 2 yaa :)

When Julia Bialetska and her husband Eugene Tomilin decided to travel the world, Bali at first seemed a paradise island.

“We were doing surfing sessions there and one day all the beach and the ocean were covered with this huge amount of plastic,” she remembers. “It was brought from the ocean. And this picture was so devastating, I still see it when I close my eyes.”

That was the moment, in 2016, that this Ukrainian biochemist graduate realised that she wanted to do something about throwaway plastic. Working with the M.G. Kholodny Institute of Botany back in Kiev, she and Tomilin started experimenting. They began to grow a material that played on the strength of waste hemp fibres, which they ‘glued’ together with mycelium – the network of fungal threads that mushrooms grow from.

The result is a natural replacement for expanded polystyrene – that lightweight material that is so useful as packaging that in 2016 we produced 6.6m metric tons of it. They may not be the only startup working on this kind of solution, but Bialetska and Tomilin’s company, called S.Lab, is certainly on a winning streak at the moment.

Michael out in Bali — Jan. 7th, 2016

[selkienight60]

Hi Selkie!

What's the best vacation you've ever been on, and what was the highlight experience?

Rae x

The BEST vacation I’ve ever been on… dang… Rae, I’m on an international plane every three years for a holiday at minimum…

Alright, I have to say, I think my trip to Japan in 2016 (the first time I went) was pretty dang incredible. But in saying this, the time I went to Japan (2023) with @sassydefendorflower was ALSO incredible. But in saying this, the time I went to NY and Canada in 2019 was ALSO incredible. But in saying this, the time I went to Singapore and Malaysia in 2014 was ALSO incredible…

Bali (2024) could have been a pass though, comparatively… 😆 (/j)

Pilger’s politics can fairly be described as anti-American, in that he reflexively saw the United States as a malevolent actor in any conceivable situation. That idée fixe in turn drove him to the conviction that any regime opposed by the US was automatically innocent or even benign. Interviewed on the state-propaganda outlet Russia Today in 2018, he declared the Putin regime’s attempted murder of Sergei and Yulia Skripal in Salisbury a ‘carefully constructed drama in which the media plays a role’. He said in December 2021, as if Ukrainians lacked any capacity to speak and act for themselves and were merely puppets of Washington: ‘It was the US that overthrew the elected govt in Ukraine in 2014 allowing Nato to march right up to Russia’s western border.’

The apotheosis of this approach was an article in 2016 in which Pilger claimed: ‘The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague has quietly cleared the late Serbian president, Slobodan Milosevic, of war crimes committed during the 1992-95 Bosnian war, including the massacre at Srebrenica.’

There was, I need hardly say, no truth whatever in this preposterous fabrication. With all too familiar legerdemain and gullibility, Pilger had alighted on an article on the Russia Today website and, without stating this was his source, plagiarised it. In my view this episode marks, in its combination of idleness and indecency, the nadir of Pilger’s career, and it was a very low and shady point indeed.

This is not the place to set out the chronology of the Bosnian war but what the mainstream media (including The Guardian, through the exemplary reporting of Ed Vulliamy and Maggie O’Kane) said about it at the time was simply the truth. The war was not a cover for American power: it was a campaign of genocidal aggression conducted by Bosnian Serb forces covertly orchestrated from Belgrade, and in which Nato intervened against their positions far too late. It was also, as I have described here, a terrible augury of the barbarous assault that another European autocrat, Vladimir Putin, would direct against Ukraine 30 years afterwards.

What, then, of the earlier body of Pilger’s work, before his alleged journalistic and ethical deterioration? In the nature of things, it was not always wrong, but it was always reductive. His condemnation of Australian recognition of Indonesia’s occupation of East Timor, in print and in his 1994 film Death of a Nation, was entirely correct. But to be right on a discrete issue was never enough for him. He would have to construct some overarching explanation (or, less politely, a conspiracy theory) in which to embed it. He hence charged that Australia was administering a ‘hidden empire’ that ‘stretches from the Aboriginal slums of Sydney to the South Pacific’. You’d be hard put to find any such coherence in Australian foreign policy, which has often been made on the hoof and at the mercy of events.

When East Timor eventually achieved its independence, it did so to the fury of Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda. It was, in their eyes, an affront, for East Timor (whose population is overwhelmingly Roman Catholic) was properly a ‘part of the Islamic world’ and belonged to Indonesia. This complaint was explicitly cited by bin Laden in justifying al-Qaeda’s bombing of the Indonesian tourist resort of Bali in October 2002, which killed 202 people including 88 Australians.

Pilger was usually quick to blame western foreign policy for provoking terrorism – he referred to the 7/7 attacks in London in 2005 as ‘Blair’s bombs’ – yet here was a case where western nations incurred the wrath of al-Qaeda for unequivocally (if belatedly) doing the right thing. The geopolitical situation was more complex than he had supposed, and than you would imagine from reading his output. He dealt with the disjunction of theory and fact in time-honoured fashion, by never mentioning it.

John Pilger was a charlatan and a fraudster

Murder Mystery (2019)
