In Japan, the fans celebrate a sports victory on the streets like this: they wait for the Red Light to gather and party and when it turns Green again, they step aside to let the cars pass.
@nytimes@TheAthletic Its fucking baseball! Why are you forcing them to celebrate anything? When you do this, this is the result. News flash! People don't like beliefs forced on them. Stop trying to tell people what to believe and maybe then we can live in harmony.
During Disclosure Day, I found myself thinking about Independence Day, which came out 30 years ago. The clear lesson of ID4 was “aliens are pure evil and must be genocided.” DD’s is: “aliens are wise empaths who must be listened to”—which is a very old idea about aliens…/1
I was right. Peace is coming and Trump did it with the Abraham Accords: October 7th's purpose was to undo the Accords: they have failed (even though Canada, Ireland, and Spain want the war to continue).
🚨🔥 UN ÁRABE DE KUWAIT DESTRUYE EL DISCURSO PALESTINO DE LA ONU EN LA ONU‼️
Jasem Aljuraid, periodista kuwaití:
“Señor Presidente,
He oído el término «colonizadores». Pero, ¿quiénes son los verdaderos colonizadores? Un reino judío gobernó Judea durante mil años. Nosotros, los árabes, nos apoderamos de esta tierra.
¿Quién arabizó a los egipcios, fenicios, persas y amazighs? Fuimos nosotros, los árabes.
¿Por qué, entonces, el consejo consagra una mentira al mantener un punto permanente en la agenda sobre Palestina, mientras ignora el regreso a casa del corazón indígena de Israel?
Seamos claros sobre quién defiende realmente nuestra soberanía. Hoy, Israel lucha por la paz, liberando a Gaza de los terroristas de Hamás y protegiendo a los iraníes de la República Islámica.
Lo que Israel está haciendo con la Guardia Revolucionaria Islámica —impidiendo que un régimen genocida adquiera armas nucleares— es un regalo para la humanidad.
Existen 57 países islámicos y un único estado judío, Israel. A pesar del odio constante que se busca eliminarlo, Israel no solo ha sobrevivido, sino que ha prosperado.
No creo en los milagros, pero este es uno de ellos.
Así que le pregunto a la ONU: ¿cuándo pondrán fin al ritual de condenar a Israel?
¿No es hora, en cambio, de aprender de Israel? De cómo derrotar al terrorismo, defender las sociedades libres y buscar la paz.
Gracias."
In 1803, a British blacksmith named John Jewitt was taken captive by Chief Maquinna of the Mowachat people of Vancouver Island. He was asked to file the teeth of the Chief’s brother so the guy could bite off his wife’s nose for refusing to put out.
Life before Canada. 🪶
The state didn't invent money. Carl Menger destroyed that myth in 1871 with his regression theorem, and statists have been seething ever since.
Picture yourself in a primitive barter economy. You're a blacksmith who needs grain, but the farmer doesn't want your horseshoes. He wants pottery. The potter wants leather goods. The leather worker wants meat. You face what economists call the double coincidence of wants problem: finding someone who both has what you want and wants what you have. Barter works for simple trades, but complex economic coordination becomes impossible.
Smart traders notice that certain goods get accepted more readily than others. Cattle, salt, shells, precious metals. These commodities share specific properties: durability, divisibility, portability, recognizability. Over generations, market participants gravitate toward the most marketable goods as media of exchange. No central authority decrees this. No committee meets to decide monetary policy. Individual actors pursuing their own interests spontaneously converge on the same solution.
Money emerges from voluntary exchange, not government decree. Every unit of money traces its value back through an unbroken chain of exchanges to its original commodity value. Gold became money because people valued it first as jewelry, ornamentation, and industrial uses. Its monetary premium built on top of that foundation. When governments later monopolized monetary systems, they parasitically appropriated this organic market institution.
You can observe this process today in Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Lebanon. When state currencies collapse, people don't wait for permission to adopt alternatives. They trade cigarettes, rice, Bitcoin. Markets route around monetary failure because human cooperation demands a medium of exchange.
@nationalpost What inaction? He installed a terror-loving Saudi Arabian spy to sit on the committee to investigate the causes of antisemitism which I'm sure he believes is the very existence of Jews themselves.
Diplomatic immunity of outgoing UNRWA commissioner-general Philippe Lazzarini ends on June 31st. On July 1st, we will be demanding his indictment for complicity in terrorism, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. Lazzarini cannot claim he didn't know. We have all the receipts.
@IfindRetards 1. US banned Somali terrorist referee: Canada let him in
2. Canadian antisemitism task force includes one pro-Hamas, pro-Hezbollah (immigrant) minister
3. Your opponent's reaction is your purpose (Alinsky) Opposed? Racist!
4. Canada gave $500,000 to Gaza
