Just finished reading @gladstein's book "Hidden Repression". It was easily digestible and provided a lot of insight into the corruption going on inside the IMF and World Bank.

Here's what you need to know 👇🧵

"In theory, a surge of tourists, no matter their nationality, should be a good thing for a village like Arugam Bay. In reality, these ‘tourists’ have decided to stay long term and set up businesses of their own."

As in 2016, while Democrats were deluding themselves, Current Affairs was telling you the truth and issuing sensible warnings. If we are to have any hope of stopping the right, we will need independent media that is capable of telling facts from wishful thinking.

NEW: "It is a familiar refrain on the Right that the media is a 'wing of the Democratic Party,' but the truth is closer to the reverse. The 2024 election will be a test of the power of the legacy narrative institutions..." — @njhochman https://t.co/7or4TRzlrt

"Now, the question becomes: if you accept Dick Cheney’s help to win an election, whose support won’t you accept? Where is the moral floor?"

Shoutout @curaffairs for publishing meaningful, unbiased journalism.

According to the FBI, the most prolific serial killer in U.S. history was a Georgia man named Samuel Little. He confessed to murdering 93 people over a 35-year time period.

But compared to the violence of Dick Cheney, Little was an amateur.

SPRINGFIELD: I’m on the ground investigating for @im_1776. Burned-out and wrecked cars are cluttering local towing companies’ lots. According to the company owners, half of their lots are filled with cars wrecked by Haitians. 🧵

@TriathlonRobH @Unpop_Science You should consider reading Ishmael, by David Quinn.

The House Intelligence Committee wants to make it easier for the federal government to spy on you without a warrant. Here's how:

[Peter Schiff @PeterSchiff]

If the Supreme Court rules in favor of the government, and allows it to redefine income to include any unrealized appreciation in any asset, then it will grant the Federal Government a new power to nationalize the entire asset stock of the nation. In hyperinflation, the only refuge people have is the ability to hold real assets and never sell them. But if the Federal Government can claim unrealized inflationary gains as being taxable income, then almost all Americans will be forced to sell their assets just to pay their tax liabilities. But with all assets up for sale at once, the most likely buyer will be the Federal Government itself, which will pay in near worthless paper. In one decision, the Supreme Court would have rendered the Constitution meaningless, effectively illuminated private property rights, and provided the Federal Government with the legal mechanism to pull off a communist revolution without having to fire a single shot.

@TheDesertLynx Bitcoin maxis replying to this thread claiming all your points are invalid without providing any counter-argument are exactly what’s wrong with the current state of the #bitcoin movement.

[Teruko @Teruko21M]

A sad day for JP bitcoiners.
Confirmed by the tax agency the inheritance tax on #BTC can be 110%. If you're all in, likely to fall for 110%. Your kids get nothing and are forced to pay 10%. They can waive, which means they also can't get any other assets you might have. WTF.

@KapilGuptaMD You talk about the harm prescriptions cause, but if I practice a prescription in order to verify whether or not it is True, is this still a prescription? Or is it now Truth, regardless of how I came to know it?

Structural adjustment loans incoming…

If Milei agrees to take any sort of loan from the IMF he will immediately expose which side of the freedom fight he is on. This could turn out to be disastrous for the people of Argentina.
