Hate to be posting this on a holiday, but there's been renewed interest in the CIA-backed Zero Units in Afghanistan. Here's a good summary of @propublica.org's 2022 reporting on the units and just some of the civilian casualties they were responsible for:

A mentally unstable shooter with CIA ties, brought into the country six months prior and acting just in time for divisive Thanksgiving table talk?

I feel like I've seen this movie before 🤔

no notes
"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.
It didn’t even take 6 hours.

There's a direct causal link between what Nuzzi did and multiple kids dying of measles.

She shouldn't just be out of the profession. She shouldn't be able to walk down the street without getting screamed at.

Trained by the CIA you say? Very interesting. And the day before Thanksgiving, no less.

There will no doubt be much heated conversation around the turkey today, dividing us further and driving us into our respective corners...

that trump let him in is irrelevant

statements like this are never corrected

the saying of the thing is it's entire function, serving only to divide and inflame

now that most americans have the attention span of a goldfish, it will be forgotten the moment the next malicious thing is said

Since their deployment was illegal, does that make Trump responsible for their shooting?



If they die, does Trump get charged with felony murder, or is that just for the poors?

Judge rules Trump’s DC National Guard deployment was illegal
The judge postponed the impact of her decision until Dec. 11 to give the Trump administration time to appeal her decision.

These fuckin' weirdos, again...
A friend who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability, which are often hot topics.

This administration is undertaking the largest transfer of wealth in history: from America to the rest of the world, with Trump as the middle-man taking his cut. Art of the Steal.

I see three possibilities

His dementia is making it increasingly difficult for him to play the tough-guy psycho-fascist role he was hired for...

He was trying to damage Mamdani's support by embracing him, not understanding that it was more likely to exclusively damage his *own* support...

I had to check for myself and I guess The Coast Guard is backpedaling fast on this horrifying gaffe.
I tried to view the posted new guidelines and check this out - the pdf on a government site has malware on it.

how far how fast
The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Let me tell you about the other Epstein files the Trump administration is STILL HIDING — records that aren’t affected by the bill Congress passed today.

Inventing Antifa
In 2005, the Uzbek government invented a group called “Akromiya” to justify massacring protesters. Now I worry the US government will do the same.

And the reason why...
I was suspended right before the Epstein emails were released. If the BlueSky search engine works, you will find a wealth of posts from me about the people in those emails, who I wrote about in my books HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT and THEY KNEW. This is the work I feared would be erased on Twitter.

What about phrenology? Could phrenology teach us something useful about his crimes?
"If you resort to mentioning Hitler, some say, you have lost the argument. If you resort to sequencing Hitler’s DNA to try to get more eyeballs for your TV channel, I would say you have just plain lost it" 🧪

My view of the TV documentary on Hitler's DNA:

www.newscientist.com/article/2504...
Sequencing Hitler's genome teaches us nothing useful about his crimes
To understand Adolf Hitler, we need to look at his personal life and the wider societal and historical context - analysing his DNA for a TV gimmick tells us nothing, says Michael Le Page

What. The. Fuck!

Sarah Kendzior is one of the most powerful evidence-based truth tellers out there, and she brings the receipts.

If she has been kicked off the platform, Bluesky is as fucked as the appeasement wing of the Democratic Party.
“We usually do that in response to media requests once they hit that threshold.”

I’d be really interested in hearing what that threshold is. Bluesky hasn’t responded to the last three emails I’ve sent in recent months asking about various topics, including today’s email about Sarah Kendzior.
We usually do that in response to media requests once they hit that threshold. I’ll try not to weigh in here, since that’s still details of an individual case. An interesting topic for a separate write up though, without discussing case specifics.
