I used to just post stupid jokes and gossip here. Now I come to see how far we’ve slid into Hell since last night. I just want to tweet about my dumb server projects and voiceover stuff, not the end of the world.
It’s deeply odd to me that America is a far less 24/7 hour society today than it was 10, 20, or even 30 years ago. I vividly remember friends from the UK back in 1996 marveling at the fact that in the mid-sized Indiana town where I went college it was possible to buy groceries, clothing, a lawn mower, a snow blower, Lego sets, and bow hunting gear at 3 AM on any given Tuesday of the year. That was peak American Empire, and it’s long gone.
Albanians aren't just protesting. They burned down the house of their president who approved the sale of the national park to the Kushners.
This is the wayyyy
KIRIAKOU: “The Israelis have always spied on the United States.”
THEO: “Do we spy on them also?”
KIRIAKOU: “No, that's written in stone at the CIA.”
THEO: “Why can't we spy on them?”
KIRIAKOU: “It's a political decision that's been made in the White House.”
Ashley St. Clair: “The FBI, they’re targeting people who protest the data centers. People need to get louder. If I seem neurotic it’s because of what I saw. Once they accomplish this with this integration of AI into our lives, it’s going to be very hard to take that power back. If you think power was hard to take back in the last 50 years, we’re done. People need to fight back and fight back loudly”
I do not respect Israel as my government. They are the enemy of the world and I want the nation destroyed. If our militaries are officially merged, I’m literally done paying taxes. Today.
Israel is not our ally. They're a foreign government that has stolen our nuclear secrets, nuclear triggers and uranium. And they built weapons of mass destruction with them. They also stole our most sensitive intelligence through Jonathan Pollard.
They have robbed us of $320 billion. They made us waste $8 trillion fighting their wars in the Middle East.
The way they pulled off these heists is by legally bribing almost our entire Congress and being the top donor to presidents from both parties.
Their co-conspirators are the national media who cover up all these crimes and pretend that Israel is an innocent victim who desperately needs our help. When they are the exact opposite. They are an aggressive empire that takes our money and military and uses it to attack their neighbors and take their land.
We have to stop this inflitration of our country by a foreign nation that has taken control of the power structure in Washington. We are occupied.
It failed by voice vote, meaning section 224 likely survives and goes to the floor. Massie has said he will introduce an amendment to strip it out there.
Rep. Ro Khanna says it was Benjamin Netanyahu who ordered Congress to insert Section 224 into the 2027 NDAA, which would coordinate and expand U.S.-Israel military cooperation.
He says Nethanyahu needs to be kicked to the curb.
"The American people are tired of the arrogance of Benjamin Netanyahu telling America what we should do."
The House voted today on a new measure to fuse elements of the Israeli and US militaries, particularly on the cyberweapons front. Section 224, as its known, is included in the National Defense Authorization Act. Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., introduced an amendment to strip it from the bill. Watch as a stream of Republicans and Democrats stand up in support of the enhanced cooperation. Only Rep. Sarah Jacobs (D-Calif.) joined Khanna, and the measure failed in a voice vote. Watch:
This isn’t the place to say what needs to happen. Because there really isn’t a public place to legally say what needs to happen. But guys, seriously, it’s past time. ORGANIZE AND **** **** ****
The House Armed Services Committee just voted to merge our military with Israel's. This is utterly insane!! @RoKhanna tried to stop it and nearly all the Democrats voted against him, too! Nearly our entire Congress is bought by the Israeli lobby. This is a core betrayal.
