@qiaocollective Just like I believe that the TPP was created to both isolate China economically and justify further American aggression in the South China Sea. Our very own casus belli in the name of protecting American trade.

The US is a dystopian police state:

ICE agents killed a random man, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo -- a father of 3 with no criminal record who lived in the US for 35 years and was driving to work -- because ICE-Gestapo thugs confused him with another immigrant from a different country.

🔴 Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich says Trump’s Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff privately told him “I will not let two million Nazis live next to your children along the border fence,” referring to the besieged population of Gaza, half of them children, in remarks reported by Israel National News.

Smotrich said the conversation took place on January 30, 2025, when Witkoff met him alongside then-Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer in Jerusalem, a day after the envoy toured Gaza’s Netzarim Corridor and viewed footage of the October 7 attack, which Smotrich said left him visibly shaken. Recounting the exchange, Smotrich added: “There is only one thing that hurts the enemy: land.”

The account is Smotrich’s alone; Witkoff has not commented. The alleged remark came days before Trump publicly unveiled his plan to take over Gaza and transfer its population.

The phrase mirrors Smotrich’s own rhetoric: in November 2023 he declared “there are two million Nazis in Judea and Samaria,” and he has argued Gaza needs Jewish settlement because otherwise “there will be two million Nazis who want to destroy us every morning.”

China is close to erasing the only technological lead the USA has left.

China successfully recovered an orbital-class reusable first-stage booster at sea for the first time.

Recovery method: First stage performed a controlled descent and was captured using a "wire" catch system on a specialized floating recovery platform named Linghangzhe (Enlish "Pathfinder") in the South China Sea.

Florida, is rolling out AI-powered cameras on its garbage trucks to scan properties for code violations, unpermitted renovations, & other issues. After installing FLOCK cameras on poles, the city is now adding mobile surveillance from trash trucks to monitor homes and yards. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤡

waiting for the big event: eventually some hackers saw open one of these, extract its crypto keys off the chip, then use the key to breach their cloud, get in and pivot, then steal everything and ransom it on the Darknet. it's only a matter of time until this happens. i'd hope they'd go for the more Democratic Wikileaks style and leak it to everyone

Simply incredible how much police misconduct costs taxpayers and how we, as a society, have been conditioned to tolerate & expect it

[Liza Libes @pensandpoison]

The Atlantic’s new cover story on the decline of reading features a Harvard student who complained that he had to read a book written in "Old English."

Now, you might be thinking that he was assigned Beowulf or The Canterbury Tales.

Nope.

This student was assigned A Clockwork Orange—and used ChatGPT to “translate” it.

A Clockwork Orange was written in 1962 (not 1692, which is still modern English, by the way). This student’s grandparents were alive in the 60s. Is he also using a translation bot to speak to them?

Yes, I had an easier time than most people with the novel's Nadsat slang because I speak Russian, but you catch on very quickly if you turn on more than two brain cells—and the entire point is to compel you to inhabit Alex’s deranged mind, which is cool!

For the first time in my life, I feel bad for Alex from A Clockwork Orange for being so misunderstood.

⚡️ NEW from Drop Site: The Crimson Thread: The Israeli Military Barrier Cutting Off Palestine’s Breadbasket

The first 22 kilometers of a planned 500-kilometer Israeli military barrier are cutting off Palestinians from a large swathe of some of the most fertile agricultural land in the occupied West Bank.

Hahaha the very first time Jeffrey Epstein’s name ever appeared in print, in November 1992, the writer repeatedly called him a “spy” and specifically referenced his rumored connections to “the CIA and Mossad.”

Informed consent matters.

You CAN reasonably expect when walking into a Walmart to shop that they have security cameras.

You CANNOT reasonably expect that your children are being filmed by a YouTuber and what is done with that footage.

He broke the law. He even admits it.

There's a black lady in Japan who owns an operates a lawfirm that specifically helps Japanese women sue their US Soldier baby-daddies [frequently also their rapists] for child support in the US Regime legal system, and I believe that she is doing holy work by punishing those men.

[Venezuelanalysis @venanalysis]

Venezuelan Acting President Delcy Rodríguez met with a delegation from the genocidal zionist entity on Tuesday. It was reportedly to discuss the removal of rubble following the June 24 earthquakes, and nobody knows more about turning things to rubble than these monsters. It's beyond distressing and vomit-inducing to see the entity's flag in Venezuelan territory.

Probably only a matter of time before diplomatic ties are reestablished
