they want to keep you sick & sedated.
they want to keep you confused & dimwitted. they want you to question your own memory. they want you to believe them over your own “lying eyes.”

🇵🇸 🇯🇵 Kozo Okamoto (Ahmad the Japanese), pro-Palestinian JRA militant dies
Japanese activist Kozo Okamoto has died more than five decades after taking part in the 1972 Lod Airport operation near Tel Aviv, which killed 26 people.
Okamoto was one of three Japanese Red Army members in the operation planned with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. Okamoto was wounded, captured, and sentenced to life in prison, the other two were killed at the scene.
He served 13 years before his release, which came after another PFLP operation and subsequent prisoner exchange with Israel in 1985. The PFLP says he spent much of that time in solitary confinement, systematically tortured, and forced to eat off the ground with his hands cuffed behind his back.
He eventually returned to Lebanon, was arrested in 1997, and in 2000 avoided extradition to Japan after weeks of protests by pro-Palestinian groups, becoming the first and only person granted political asylum in Lebanon. Four other JRA members were sent back to Tokyo.
He lived out his life under PFLP care in Beirut, largely in seclusion and still wanted by Japan, while remaining a folk hero in the Palestinian refugee camps. At a 50th anniversary commemoration in 2022, PFLP members walked him to a cemetery on the edge of Shatila refugee camp, where he laid a wreath for his fallen comrades and made a V for victory gesture ✌️.
A PFLP statement says he died today in Beirut’s southern suburbs (Dahiyeh), aged 78.

Listen closely to what Krystal said. Adam Smith’s team REACHED out to Breaking Points to come on. This tells me he is concerned about Kshama Sawant’s race against him. This warmonger has been in office for decades. It’s time to bring @cmkshama on! Jungle primary. No excuse.
HEGSETH: Iran is not charging tolls and they are shooting at ships right now
MURRAY: Trump said he wanted to charge a 20% toll
HEGSETH: We have a blockade and it is effective
This is incredibly dangerous stuff.
Trump cutting safety corners with stage building is the kind of thing somebody can genuinely be prosecuted for if someone dies, which is not uncommon if you slap it together like this.
This equipment is deadly when falling from those heights.
