@dirtcheapbanks Shawneetown bank. Shawneetown denied funding to the city of Chicago because it wasn’t on a major river and they thought it wouldn’t amount anything. After so much flooding, Shawneetown was eventually moved. So yeah, the bank survived, but the town did not.
🚨BREAKING: A U.S. citizen was riding his bike in Laredo, Texas… when Border Patrol agents pulled alongside him and illegally tried to block him in.
When he kept riding, they chased him down, physically grabbed him by the arm, and immediately started demanding identification and asking where he was from.
He told them he born in Laredo, Texas.
But that was not good enough.
The agent asked, “What high school did you go to?”
He answered that, too… and they still kept demanding ID, over and over again.
The Fourth Amendment exists for a reason. In America, law enforcement don’t get to randomly stop people, physically grab them, and demand identification because they feel like it.
Being on a bike isn’t a crime.
You also don’t have to carry an ID on you unless you are operating a motor vehicle… which he was not.
So, demanding an ID, without probable cause, is illegal.
And the cherry on top? When the man went to use his phone, an agent tried to stop him by grabbing it… apparently unaware the entire encounter was already being recorded by his glasses.
If Border Patrol can stop an American born citizen riding his bike, demand his papers, and put their hands on him without stating a lawful reason… every American should be paying attention.
🚨NOW: Rep. Thomas Massie just stood on the House floor and named what every politician in DC has spent 58 years pretending did not happen
The USS Liberty. June 8, 1967.
34 dead American sailors. 174 wounded. Over 70% casualty rate on a virtually unarmed US ship.
25 minutes of Israeli jets, Israeli rockets, Israeli 30mm cannon fire, and ISRAELI NAPALM ON THE BRIDGE. Then Israeli torpedoes. Then Israel machine-gunned the lifeboats.
MASSIE: "They were intent on leaving no survivor."
Then the part nobody wants you to think about: the Saratoga and the America launched planes to help. The planes were RECALLED. The crew sat there bleeding for 17 hours.
Dean Rusk. Richard Helms. Admiral Moaner. The chief counsel of the Court of Inquiry himself. None of them believed the "mistaken identity" story.
And now you understand exactly why the entire DC machine and Israel lobby has spent the last year trying to primary this man out of existence.
You are not allowed to say the quiet part. He said it anyway.
Honor the crew. https://t.co/XuDLeFF4gJ.
An audience member at a Q&A recently asked me why I'm so apocalyptic. The genocide in Gaza, beyond being a tragedy, marks an irreversible shift in the global world order. Before the genocide, the imperialist ambitions of the Western oligarchic class were partially constrained by the utopian ideal of the rules-based order. Now that ideal is gone, and unrestrained barbarity will characterize the methodology of the war-making ruling class. In other words — our future is an apocalyptic one.
@shagbark_hick Why would a Welshman feel odd about traveling to Cornwall? Welsh and Cornish are related as languages, and Cornwall used to be called West Wales.
Wales moves to decolonise its museums and GB News is absolutely losing it.
The Welsh government said the initiative aims to deliver the Anti-Racist Wales Action Plan (ARWAP).
ARWAP aims to establish Wales as an anti-racist nation by 2030.

@grotesquebitch0@AdamantxYves Why? 54% of Americans read below the sixth grade level. 21% are functionally illiterate. Trump has gutted the Department of Education while educational performance plummets. Yet 1.5 billion for the military. We revel in our stupidity and bad decisions.
@samuelcm88 Saw it when it came out. People were bewildered because they were expecting the Exorcist. Over the years I’ve seen many different edits of this film, even one that gives it a happy ending. The novel by Arnaud is pretty gripping too.
🚨 BREAKING: China has sent a strong message to the world.
Beijing says the time has come for a new UN Secretary-General who is not influenced by U.S. power politics and who will truly protect the independence of the United Nations.
China declares that the era of American unilateral dominance is coming to an end.
China’s message to the world: “We want justice. We want sovereignty. We want a real United Nations — one that is not a servant of the United States.” 🔥
Steve Harness: “When is a reporter gonna snap back and say don’t you fucking talk to me that way? I’m a goddamned adult. I’m here working. You work for us, asshole. Go fuck yourself. Somebody, for the love of God, I will buy the Pulitzer for you if you will just tell this man how fucking dare you, do not talk to me that way”
@JamesHu27192912 This could be true in many other parts of the world. I know the Swazi people in southern Africa believe this as well. At least I was told that when I lived there.
