  • CBMK0048 My Comments on Ben Robert Smith SAS Soldier #doublestandards
    Apr 10 2026

    My commentary throughout these clips. SAS Soldier Crimes in Afghanistan.

    🪖 How many SAS soldiers spoke out?
    •At least 20+ SAS soldiers were involved in giving evidence or coming forward
    •Specifically:
    ◦21 current/former soldiers were set to testify in court
    ◦Dozens overall gave evidence across inquiries and the defamation trial
    ◦32 soldiers were actually called as witnesses in the civil case
    👉 Many were anonymised as:
    •“Person 1”
    •“Person 4”
    •“Person 7”
    •etc.

    💣 What they said (key allegations)
    1) Prisoner kicked off a cliff (Darwan, 2012)
    •A soldier (Person 4) said he saw Roberts-Smith kick a bound Afghan off a cliff
    •The man was still alive → then allegedly ordered to be shot

    2) Execution of detainees
    •Witnesses said unarmed, detained Afghans were killed during raids
    •Example:
    ◦A disabled man with a prosthetic leg allegedly machine-gunned while detained

    3) “Blooding” – ordering junior soldiers to kill
    •Multiple soldiers testified that:
    ◦Junior troops were allegedly told to execute prisoners as initiation (“blooding”)

    4) Killing of a teenage prisoner
    •One SAS witness said Roberts-Smith:
    ◦Shot an unarmed teenage detainee
    ◦Later bragged about it

    5) Internal reporting & whistleblowing
    •Some soldiers:
    ◦Raised concerns internally as early as 2013
    ◦Later went public or testified despite risks

    6) Intimidation and threats
    •Witnesses also said:
    ◦He threatened fellow soldiers
    ◦Created a culture of fear that stopped people speaking earlier

    ⚖️ What courts have said so far
    •In 2023 civil court:
    ◦A judge found (on balance of probabilities) he was involved in multiple murders
    •In 2026:
    ◦He’s now criminally charged with 5 counts of war crime murder
    👉 Important:
    •He denies all allegations
    •Criminal case still not decided yet

    🎯 Bottom line
    •This wasn’t one or two people➡️ It was a large group of SAS soldiers, many eyewitnesses
    •The allegations include:
    ◦Killing detainees
    ◦Ordering executions
    ◦“Blooding” practices
    •Some soldiers risked careers and legal trouble to speak out

  • CBMK0046 Are you getting the picture yet? The Middle East Wars have been a propaganda. 4x clips.
    Mar 27 2026

    Maddy says "General Wesley Clark talks about how they were going to bomb Iraq 10 days after the collapse of the Twin Towers on 9/11, and that there was no clear reason to go to war with Iraq, as the focus was supposed to be on addressing terrorism—yet Iraq was blamed all the same.
    The second clip is about Bibby. For over 40 years, since the 1980s, Bibby has been talking about conquering the Middle East, as you can see in each individual clip. You also need to bear in mind that Israel had only been established for about 40 years before Bibby began speaking about conquering the Middle East.
    The third clip gives us a glimpse and insight into which countries could be next, and the fourth clip seals the deal.”
