Yes. But that comes after. We know that in 1996, the Gulf Arabs told Clinton to fly OBL from Sudan to Afghanistan.

Not so coincidental is that Jamal Kashoggi was a close friend & likely handler of OBL. Jamal's uncle Adnan used Epstein to manage his investments. And of course Clinton & Epstein...

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.

Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

America was discovered by Asians twice. Once 30,000 years ago by land and then again 4000 years ago by ocean. Furthermore, we have evidence that Asians & Native Americans were trading up until at least the 9th century with trade goods from East Asia discovered in Alaska.

In every country, every resistance to tyranny has believed that *their* army won't fire on them.

That their sons and brothers & husbands won't kill them.

And in every country, they've been surprised that the army which murdered men, women & children in other countries will do it to them as well.

Jean, there is. It's the people themselves. But at the moment, there's no real acceptance of the seriousness of the situation. They're still at the Tea Party stage of the Founding Fathers, dressing up as comic characters & imagining they can delegitimize the regime by mocking it. This will soon fail

It is interesting that Jeremy Corbyn has been an MP for 42 years and led the opposition for 5 years.

He's been on Question Time once.

Nigel Farage, 44 times.

Our Media is corrupt, corrupt to the core.

In EFF's interview series, Gate Crashing, we talk to people who have used the internet to take nontraditional paths to the very traditional worlds of journalism, creativity, and criticism. We hope it's enlightening for anyone trying to find voices they like online. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Just got back from Normal, IL for a lecture at Illinois State University. Established in 1857 after this small town lawyer named Abe secured the funding. Was reminded once again that US public universities are the triumph of civilization

Every center of civilization in Asia or the Americas or even sometimes Africa becomes 'world civilization' & everything in Europe becomes 'western civilization'.

What's yours is yours and what's mine is also yours.

Neither the classical world, Africa, or Asia invented 'white'. We know who did.

Also, one of the few who warned to end the War of Terror.

Oh the US elites have already begun moving out their wealth. They're trying to rob as much as possible using crypto to pump & dump while they look for havens to transfer it.

That's just in the US.

Biden cleaned out $7 billion from Afghanistan's bank before fleeing. As a result an estimated 60,000 children starved to death over the proceeding months.

He offered the loot to 911 families. Essentially offering Afghan money for a terrorist attack carried out by Oil Arabs.

—Poverty: 9.3% increase (+5.4 million people)
—Child poverty: 6.3% increase (+491,000 children)

Change, 2020–24:

That's the bad news.

The good news is that Thiel, Musk, & the rest now have lots of cheap land for data farms.

Ain't it cool how things just coincidentally work out for the best?
