Djibouti is a tiny country with no resources except for one: its location. China, the United States, and France are just 3 of the powers vying for access to the vital choke point Djibouti borders.

    It's proof that people are ignorant to the fact that Hamas was elected by Palestinians. Before you say it must be rigged Google the population of both. Israel is forced to govern and aid them with necessities because no one else will and they share the land, simple. Syria, Lebanon, Iran, etc... look it up.

    It was an operation pioneered by George Bush as Kennedy was a threat to the intel community. Bush knew Hoover would poke around and decided reluctanty to bring him onside. Hoover supported that as Robert Kennedy as Attorney General was a threat to the FBI. Bush/Hoover they disliked and did not trust each other but for this they became unlikely bedfellows and served each other for their purpose.

    I don’t know man, I love Johnny and ground news sounds great. But I’m getting real tired of the whole “news used to be unbiased” selling point. The deeper you go into the history of all forms of journalism the more you realize that it has never once at any point in time been remotely unbiased. If anything we are living in a crucial period where it is easier than ever to expose that inbuilt political/economic/cultural bias that relentlessly infiltrates any attempt at journalistic integrity. Periods in recent history where people had great trust in their news sources should not be construed as being periods where those news sources were in fact objectively more trustworthy.

Combine that with the natural disasters and the economy they have and it is really sad to see.

    And yes, they were not for free. We paid about $300 billion for them, which is gonna probably fall through now as we can’t have nuclear submarines as we have a ban on nuclear things in Australia. we should have got the French subs, we would have them sooner. In the end, Australia will probably not get subs of that type. Do a story on that.

    In this point, your information is bais, the country of Djibouti was actually rescued in 1977 by neighbouring Somalia, which also shares ethnicity with more than 70% of the local population . It was not rescued by France pr by European. France was in Djibouti since the 1920s, and as much as the rest of Africa has not done anything. So please, go back and research your info source once more!

    Hey Johnny! I just started a new channel about a year ago and it’s about exposing the false and cultic religion of Seventh Day Adventism. The channel is growing, but we could use your support. If you could please put a plug in for us. It would really help. Giving up my career to do this. As a former fourth generation SDA my prayer is that the channel will be used by the Lord to bring Adventists the one true saving gospel while at the same time battling the legalism and false gospel associated with Seventh Day Adventist doctrines. As you might be aware of, SDA is VERY similar to LDS in many strange ways. God bless, Logan (Huge fan, BTW)
