ghislaine maxwell was a reddit mod. elon musk personally propagated an anti-trans hate campaign. a good amount of 4chan traffic is linked to Israel. members of the ruling class are intimately familiar with memetics & their practical applications. it IS that deep i fear
Quebec politics sucks. All they been talking about for the past decade is whether or not to build that fuck ass bridge in Qc City and banning religious symbols in public… so unserious
A months-long Sky News investigation into the US double-tap strike on a Minab girls' school found the Pentagon had tracked the site by satellite since 1987 and could still count children's shadows in the courtyard before firing anyway.
What the evidence shows:
Three Tomahawk missiles fired from the USS Spruance, 716 kilometers away in the Arabian Sea, hit the Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab on Feb 28, the opening day of the US-Israeli war on Iran. Witnesses described a second strike hitting the exact spot where a teacher had moved surviving students for shelter, killing nearly everyone who had taken cover there. A third strike followed on the same site. Death tolls range from 156 to over 170, most of them girls aged seven to twelve. The school had been walled off from the adjacent IRGC naval base since at least 2015, had its own website, and was geolocatable through open-source materials any analyst could have pulled in minutes.
Built to fail:
The Pentagon's own machinery for preventing exactly this outcome had already been dismantled. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth slashed the Civilian Protection Center of Excellence workforce by roughly 90 percent and cut CENTCOM's civilian casualty assessment team from ten people to one, months before the war started. A May Pentagon Inspector General report found the office had become a shell on paper with no budget, no mandate, no real mission. A functioning warning system was defunded on purpose, then blamed for not warning anyone.
Accountability buried:
Four months on, CENTCOM's commander told reporters the investigation was near complete, yet nothing has been released. Asked in June whether anyone would face consequences, Trump called it a strange question, adding that mistakes are made and war is nasty. The mistake was choosing not to fund the office that exists to catch mistakes like this one.
My take: A military that surveilled a schoolyard for four decades didn't fail to see the children, it decided in advance that seeing them wouldn't change the targeting. Nobody in this chain lacked information.

The other day I was reading through the list of 39 songs and realized I either met or worked with the majority of these artists since… Unreal!
I’m so so grateful, it’s a magical thing.
It’s obvious why “they’re” not publicizing this. Remember his name. Guido Reichstadtler. His statement:
“The most they can do is kill you and then they have your dead body… they dont have your obedience…” “we have an urgent moral responsibility to resist, nonviolently.”
Using facial recognition tech, the Knicks surveilled a trans woman, tracking her every move out of fear she'd show up on MSG's tv broadcast
And they can do it to any "enemy" of Jim Dolan, who's built his own deep state. From @NoahShachtman
