@willygoodD@trevorabney@ClownWorld My grandparents lived in a Sears and Roebuck home in Bunnell Fl. 5 acre lot with a thousand pine trees. They bought it for almost nothing after his discharge from WWII.
Iran citizens say this is the happiest they’ve ever felt in their entire lives
“The Islamic regime's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei is dead, and I'm so happy. This is my first time in my entire life that I feel this way. I feel like we are done with years of nightmare and terror and everything that they did to our country and also other countries.
This is like a dream come true. I still feel like I'm dreaming
All the Iranian people are feeling the same — This is the beginning of the freedom wave for Iran and the end of Dictator who murdered Iranian people for the past 47 years. And terror, all the neighboring countries, Europe, America, and the whole world funded terrorism for years and made us leave hell in Iran.
If you support terrorism, you need to be ashamed of yourself because Iranian people right now are happy. This is the best day in our life.”
Wikipedia is curated propaganda
Wikipedia’s editors are helping Iran rewrite history
The Free Press finds “Wikipedia's entry on Ali Khamenei is a masterclass in narrative framing. The all-important opening section of the article makes no mention of the fact that Khamenei's regime was responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of its own citizens in mass crackdowns.
Instead, readers are introduced to something far more anodyne. He's described as a pragmatic hardliner, and his status as a religious authority is foregrounded. Violent uprisings against his rule are softened into the phrase faced many protests, images to alleged crimes against humanity appear later, and even then, they're framed cautiously attributed to what critics say, rather than presented as established historical claims or legal findings.”
“A 2024 investigation by the times reported that entries related to Iran have been repeatedly revised in ways that minimize or contextualize state violence.“
“While Iranian security forces killed thousands of protesters in repeated waves of unrest with the real toll, often obscured by internet blackouts that prevent documentation, another battle has been taking place in the digital realm. Editors sympathetic to the regime or aligned with its perspective have worked to shape how these events are recorded on widely used platforms. Like Wikipedia, the strategy is two-fold. Physical repression constrains, dissent at home, while informational influence shapes understanding abroad. Together, they form what Khamenei himself is described as a kind of soft war in the information space.”1
“A campaign to control interpretation as much as territory. Investigations into Wikipedia, editing suggest this effort has been sustained and coordinated over time.”
Muhammad Ali called for black personal accountability and moral reform in America
“Let's quit worrying white people, plaguing white people's neighborhood, forcing ourselves on white people, and we don't clean up and do for ourselves. The slum is not in the neighborhood. The slum is not in the ghetto. The slum is in the people. The people make the slum.
And the condition our people are in now, if you gave them a $93 million project, they'll make a slum out of it in 24 hours”
“Then you can take a nation of people who are intelligent and they can make a slum a paradise”
This is a real quote from Muhammad Ali is authentic and comes from a 1967 interview
He also urged black people to stop relying on external aid and take accountability for sustaining their own lives
This too me is the most important thing Ali preached
Ali argued that true improvement starts with internal transformation such as mindset, behavior, family structure, education, and community standards rather than just pouring money into housing projects or blaming external conditions
This is just as true today as it was back then. Nothings changed
@DrSoup26@MambaSmith34@NASCAR Mamba had his 15 min and used it poorly. When he was talking NASCAR there was no one better but his ego shined out of the cracks. He needed a little more humility.
