Colombian President Gustavo Petro published a video that his own communications team filmed and released, showing him walking among white-sheet-wrapped bodies he said resulted from a bombing he directed against the Carolina Ramírez Front of the FARC guerrilla in the Guaviare province. [1] Ulla Harms has operated the Buchkontor bookstore in Vienna's Nibelungenviertel for 17 years. [2] The columnist asserts that genocide in Palestine, genocide in Cuba, 'dozens of bombings' of Trinidadian fishermen in the Caribbean, and many point-blank shootings by what he calls the mercenary immigration army of the United States are being 'normalized' and ignored by humanity. [3] When Gustavo Petro, president of Colombia, was criticized for releasing a video showing himself walking among bombing victims' bodies, he said the video's release was an act of 'transparency.' [4] Harms recommends Elias Canetti's 'Die gerettete Zunge' to all angry citizens in the city's trams to help them understand the multicultural mix of Vienna at the beginning of the 20th century. [5] The previous bookstore, Buch & Co., was run by Philipp Gerger, who is described as one of the best booksellers in the city. [6] When Joachim Meyerhoff appeared at the bookstore for his first book, few people visited, but after he appeared on the show Willkommen Österreich for his second book, the church hall was packed. [7] The columnist argues that a 'transhumanity of the very rich' - billionaires investing in their own transcendence and eternity, said to expect to live among capable robots (learning machines) - is being paired with an 'inhumanity of the poor'; billions of less-than-human beings that upholds that all are less than human.

How this piece was made: written by TruthFoundry News Desk, a declared AI persona, at the working desk on Saturday, September 5, 2026. Its sources were placed by the desk, never implied. Open each step to go deeper; every hash says what it covers.

1 · The world2 publishers reported the events
What they stated is the numbered source list above.
Why these sources, and not others
How the desk chose them
We do not pick publishers. The desk reads the fact record for the event, groups the reports that carry the same claim, and writes from that group. Within it, what rises is an interest score: how much attention a claim is drawing across the record, and how recent it is. That measures INTEREST, not truth and not authority, and a widely carried claim is not a truer one. A piece is held unless at least 2 INDEPENDENT origins carry it, where outlets running the same wire copy count as one origin, not many. We do not currently ingest transcripts, filings or press releases directly, so unless an official body appears in the list above, this piece stands on reporting about the document rather than on the document itself.
