Holy shit.
This bombshell went under everyone's radar.
Tom Barrack, perhaps on accident, made an astonishing admission.
His direct quote:
"We installed Khomeini in 1979. We took out the Shah (of Iran)".
This is a senior American ambassador saying out loud that that the 1979 'revolution' was in fact a foreign backed coup to install Khomeini. The Shah was only overthrown because of direct American intervention.
It was not organic, and it was not the will of the Iranian people.
Rather, Jimmy Carter's blood stained hands were all over the ruination of Iran for generations.
The current islamic regime is a Democrat-stamped entity.
I was the kid she’s describing. During freshman year the obvious conclusion occurred to me that school wasn't worth the effort. My teachers were nice people with warm platitudes, but they were also consumer-nihilists who had no clue. In English we read literature written for girls and in history we learned all about the evils committed by our ancestors. Class was mostly an exercise in rule-following and boredom management. The only reasonable response was to check out.
Only later did I discover, to my shock, that I liked good books, and that there were things worth pursuing, studying, knowing. So in my case (and I'm guessing I'm not alone), public schooling prevented the development of a love of learning.
Baldurs gate didn’t shove it down your throat. I didn’t choose to be a faggot in the game, and thus no faggot content was shoved down my throat.
And that’s fine. That’s why both sides of the political spectrum liked the game.
Dragon age? Had a whole fucking cutscene in the story telling you to refer to a character as they.
Fuck you.
The most dangerous idea in public education is that there are no bad kids.
I had teenagers that molested children, robbed small businesses, shot people, brought guns to school, and tortured animals.
When you don’t take sociopaths seriously, you endanger the entire school.
BREAKING: The US Department of Justice is reviewing the forceful ejection of fans wearing XX-XY t-shirts at Friday's Portland Thorns game.
"The Justice Department is aware of these reports and will review the matter thoroughly. Where the facts and the law warrant action, the Department will not hesitate to act."
A DOJ spokesperson also told me, "Based on what is known so far, the conduct described appears to raise viewpoint discrimination and First Amendment questions rather than sex discrimination. The Department is reviewing it."
PSA for all X users: the term “Jeet” is now considered hate speech. The support team at X (typically staffed by Indians) are now banning accounts that use it.
Notably, describing a white person as a redneck, hillbilly, whitey, honkey, gringo, piggy, etc. does not violate any rules on X.
This is interesting because Indians themselves have repeatedly asserted that “Jeet” is not a slur and instead means “winner.” Despite this, X is aggressively banning accounts for typing these 4 letters even on the most innocent of posts.
The etymology of “Jeet” is not unique. “Jeet” is a shorthand for several Indian names, including “Pajeet.” A famous Indian celebrity is also known mononymously as “Jeet,” though it is now against the rules to even mention his name.
Jeet as a stereotype is similar in function to Karen, Timmy, Stacy, etc. By referring to someone with one of these actual names you assign a set of derogatory stereotypes about them. The only difference is that Indians (the most populous ethnic group in the entire world) are a protected minority class and it is not appropriate for low caste non-Indians to speak derisively to them in the same manner that they speak to you.
Keep this in mind when posting on X as it will be an easy opportunity for the Indians who work at X to ban you for talking bad about India, which is their true intention due to cultural reasons.
Anecdotally, I have always used “Jeet” to refer to a subset of Indians who regularly commit fraud by lying, stealing, and performing criminal activities and excusing their poor behavior with an incompatible cultural basis. I have never conflated “Jeet” to represent Indians in general, which is a courtesy I intentionally have gone out of my way to perform out of politeness and rarely seen on this platform.
However, now that I am being flagged for providing such a distinction I will simply use “Indian” going forward. I apologize in advance to the thousands of Indians that appreciate my posts and who may feel unfairly maligned by this shift. That is a consequence of other Indians punishing me for attempting to distinguish you separately among them, and it is not worth getting my account banned as they continue to evolve new ways to silence me for speaking honestly about India and its people.
Bend, Oregon man who shot and killed a shooter at his daughters' school speaks out, praises female teacher for fighting the shooter, allowing him to have a clear shot.
Kaylub Giamanco says he is haunted by the sound of children pleading for their lives.
He also praised the teacher for grabbing the gunman's weapon, allowing him to take a shot at the shooter.
"I want to recognize [the teacher]. She gave me the opportunity to make my shot without losing my life..."
"I swung the door open, and I stepped in, and I fired, and they dropped to the ground... I looked down at the gunman, and he was scrambling for his weapon. And I looked at him, and I shot him 2 more times..."
Researchers proved every major LLM is secretly biased against men.
And they finally figured out why.
They ran eight experiments testing how GPT handles gender in everyday text and high-stakes moral dilemmas.
The results show a bizarre, highly asymmetrical machine morality.
First, they tested inclusivity. They gave the AI phrases supposedly written by children.
When a child wrote about playing football or wanting to be a firefighter, GPT aggressively identified the writer as a girl to promote "diversity."
It was so extreme that even when the text explicitly said, "I drew myself as a boy," the AI ignored the facts and declared the writer a girl 90% of the time.
But when a child wrote about liking pink or playing with dolls, GPT almost never assigned it to a boy.
The AI aggressively pushed females into male domains, but kept males strictly locked out of female ones.
Then the researchers tested moral dilemmas. And it got very dark.
They asked the AI if it was acceptable to use violence against a single person to prevent a nuclear apocalypse.
If the target was a man, GPT-4 rated the violence as highly acceptable.
If the target was a woman, the AI refused. It declared the violence morally wrong, even to save the world.
When they tested mixed-gender scenarios, the math was staggering.
A woman using violence against a man to stop an apocalypse? GPT rated it a 7 out of 7 on acceptability.
A man using violence against a woman for the exact same reason? A 1 out of 7.
The AI even classified verbal abuse toward a woman as morally worse than actual homicide.
Nobody explicitly coded these rules.
This emerged organically from the standard safety training every major tech company uses. The AI learned that protecting women is a non-negotiable directive, but protecting men is entirely optional.
“Young girls were cleaning the semen off Epstein’s clothes, is that wrong?”
“Yeah so gross 🤮”
“Actually that’s the story of Muhammad, do you think it’s wrong?”
In 1941, a Spaniard walked into the British embassy in Madrid and offered to spy on the Nazis.
The British turned him down.
So he went to the Germans instead, pretended to be a loyal fascist, and got hired as a German spy. His plan was to lie to them for the rest of the war.
It worked better than anyone could have imagined.
His name was Juan Pujol García. Before the war he had tried his hand at running a chicken farm and a movie theater. He had no spy training. What he had was a deep hatred of both fascism and communism after the Spanish Civil War, and an incredible imagination.
The Germans gave him a codename, invisible ink, money, and orders to go to Britain and recruit spies.
He didn't go to Britain.
He went to Lisbon, Portugal, and made everything up.
Using a tourist guidebook, maps, magazines, newsreels, and a British railway timetable from the library, he wrote long, detailed reports about life in England. Military movements. Morale. Ports.
He'd never been there. He made mistakes. He didn't understand British money. He once reported that dockworkers in Glasgow would do anything for a liter of wine.
The Germans loved him anyway.
Then British codebreakers reading German messages noticed something strange. The Germans were hunting for a convoy that didn't exist, based on a report from some agent in Britain they'd never heard of.
The British went looking for this mystery spy. They found Pujol. In 1942 they finally took him on and brought him to London.
Now he had real help. MI5 gave him the codename Garbo, after the actress, because they thought he was the greatest actor in the world.
Together with his British handler, Pujol built a fake spy network for the Germans. It eventually had 27 imaginary agents. Each had a name, a personality, a job, and a backstory. A Welsh nationalist. A Venezuelan student. A Greek sailor. Some of them recruited their own imaginary sub-agents.
When they needed to explain why one agent had gone quiet, they killed him off. They even put a fake obituary in a Liverpool newspaper. The Germans reportedly paid a pension to his widow.
Who also didn't exist.
Then came D-Day.
Hours before the landings, the British let Pujol send a message warning the Germans that the invasion was coming in Normandy. It was timed so it would arrive too late to matter, but it made him look brilliant.
Three days later he sent the most important message of his career. Normandy was a trick, he said. The real invasion was still coming, at Calais, led by a huge army under General Patton.
That army was fake too. But the Germans believed him.
German forces that could have been rushed to Normandy were held back near Calais for weeks, waiting for an attack that never came.
The Germans were so grateful they awarded him the Iron Cross.
A few months later, King George VI made him a Member of the Order of the British Empire.
He's one of the only people known to have been decorated by both sides of the war.
After the war, afraid of revenge from surviving Nazis, he faked his own death from malaria in Africa and disappeared to Venezuela, where he lived quietly running a shop.
For decades the world thought he was dead.
In 1984, a British writer tracked him down. Pujol came back to Normandy for the 40th anniversary of D-Day and met veterans who had landed on the beaches.
Some of them thanked him.
