The New Year attacks in Cologne were suppressed for weeks across British (and I believe German) media. Apparently the German Government has been working with Facebook to remove "fake news" posts and many of the people posting about these attacks had their posts taken down by Facebook.. so under the guise of "protecting the public from fake news" real serious news was suppressed.

I think it was one of the alt-right news sites in the UK that eventually broke the story. They were ignored, then vilified as "purveyors of fake news" but when the enormity of the story finally broke through, they started putting up their own massaged versions..

Scary times indeed, it's almost impossible to know who to trust (safest to trust none of them).
Ah, I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.
