The latest culture war psyop. Same narratives, designed to divide the left and the right and pit them against each other while they benefit from the chaos they created. Enes Kanter is a shill who accepted the dirty money to play his role as the acting instigator.

[Nick Sortor @nicksortor]

🔥 LMAO! Enes Kanter Freedom PUSHES BACK after the he's told he's not allowed to play in the WNBA because he's not a woman

ENES: "Listen, Article 13 Section 1 says if you identify as a woman, then you are allowed to play! I identify as a woman, so yes, I can play!"

"Why not? If they ever come out and say they're changing the rules, I'll say 'I respect your decision, I will follow the rules.' Right now if you identify as a woman, you are allowed to play. I'm identifying as a woman and I am actually allowed to play."

[Mark Ruffalo @MarkRuffalo]

The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect.  Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.

This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public. 

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.

100%. Tyler Robinson won’t survive jail.

[theleahfiles @leahfiles]

Sequence of events:
- The Tyler Robinson hearing will end
- Tyler Robinson will be found in his cell with some lame note and it will be about the strength of evidence and/or a fedslop confession
- The narrative pushers will say the evidence was so strong against him and that’s why he did it (to further the BS they’ve been pushing).
- They will try and make it go away quickly

The seams are falling apart and they are desperate. Mark my words.

I lived through Yeltsin, and Trump's behavior mirrors him so precisely it's disturbing.

The same clownish performance. The same promises. The same destruction of a country while the leader talks nonsense and dances.

Dear Americans, good luck.

I got a lot of shit for saying why I don't trust the Joe Kent trajectory and, why I was obviously put on the spot about it and could have been more articulate, I think the points I brought up are very reasonable.

If the top counter-terror spook resigns to amplify rhetoric (even if it's mostly accurate) that the current administration defines as indicative of "domestic terrorism" AND that spook was previously also funded by Peter Thiel, the co-founder and chairman of the intelligence contractor working to establish domestic terror pre-crime in the US, I think it's fair to be skeptical of him.

Trump previously considered making a pre-crime program using AI to flag the social media accounts of Americans who displayed "warning signs" of violence or "mental illness". It's main advocate was Jared Kushner. There have been many recent media efforts to equate criticism of Israel to "anti-semitism" and "anti-semitism" to mental illness. Most social media giants are owned or funded by people who lied about their ties to Epstein and also contract for (or are otherwise linked to) the US national security apparatus.

That same apparatus has expanded infrastructure for the supposed "War on Domestic Terror" with the blessing of every administration since George W. Bush, it is bipartisan, and they didn't just build it for no reason - they intend to use it at some point.

Also, the idea that there is a "civil war" in the White House, as proposed by people like Nick Fuentes, over the Iran War only helps JD Vance, who is also tied at the hip to Palantir's Peter Thiel.

I took a lot of shit in the past for my stances on Covid, on Trump being a neocon, and on Epstein's intel ties, etc. etc. way before it was "popular" to do so but which turned out to be correct. I am not here to be popular or to tell you what you want to hear. I have been early on a lot of stories that other people now take credit for after the fact.

I don't care if you like me and I don't care about getting credit, I care that some of you wake the fuck up and stop swallowing every single psyop they throw at you without thinking twice about it.

[Chris Menahan 🇺🇸 @infolibnews]

Ben Shapiro—after telling his audience for months that bombing Iran wouldn't lead to a wider war, and then claiming the war was just going to be a quick bombing campaign—is now telling Americans to prepare for a long war.

"There is no way to extricate ourselves from this situation right now."

Americans only got "tired" of Vietnam after 50,000 troops died, he says.

"Our" military members are "heroes" because they're willing to "sacrifice" their lives "for a greater good"—a future world where "energy will become cheap again because the Strait of Hormuz will be free again."

[Munther Isaac منذر اسحق @MuntherIsaac]

This quote by Netanyahu is offensive on multiple levels. It not only compares Jesus to Genghis Khan, but also suggests that the way of Jesus is naive, while a ruthless, “might makes right” approach—marked by relentless aggression—is what ultimately allows good to overcome evil.

Netanyahu, and his Christian Zionist supporters, are making a mockery of the ethics of Jesus. That is the true offense.

[Jeremy Loffredo @loffredojeremy]

Sometimes I think about how Jared Kushner, who had Netanyahu staying in his wealthy Jewish family's childhood home during U.S. visits, ended up marrying the daughter of a man who became a two-term U.S. president.

Just came back from work. The world has gone mad.

[Joe Kent @joekent16jan19]

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.

I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.

It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.

May God bless America.
