Under communism, violence will be introduced to the world of golf.
There will be only one golf course and every month a billionaire is tied to a stake in the center of the field.
Contestants who land a hit earn a month's vacation paid for by the billionaires estate
@GinoTheGhost Can we stop pretending there will be any tangible consequences for most of these people? Their money and connections will keep them out of jail. Their "opposition" will be to afraid of looking like tyrants and maintain the status quo for "moving on and healing". It's America 101.
The Grayzone was among the first English language outlets to cover US drone attacks on Ecuadorian fishing boats this January and March, and the abduction of fishermen to El Salvador
It turns out the CIA was behind the criminal attacks, launched from a base previously used to support the Contras
Here's our report from April
Americans invented a word for their corruption so that it wouldn't sound like corruption.
They called it lobbying.
In most of the world, if a corporation hands a politician money and the politician then votes in that corporation's interest, we have a name for that.
The name is bribery.
The person goes to prison, or is supposed to, or at least has to conduct the transaction in a parking garage at midnight with an envelope.
In America, the transaction happens in broad daylight. It is filed with the Federal Election Commission. It is legal. It is protected, since 2010, by a Supreme Court ruling that defined the exchange of money for political access as free speech.
They looked at bribery and called it speech.
They looked at corruption and called it democracy.
And then they sent ambassadors to other countries to lecture those governments about transparency and rule of law.
The audacity is not incidental to the system.
The audacity is the system.
The white phosphorus used to burn children alive in the middle east was produced at Pine Bluff Arsenal in Arkansas, USA.
It serves as the Northern Hemisphere's only white phosphorus filling facility.
These electric 'Taser Gloves' are being rolled out to all ICE Agents.
Expect them to be used ALL the time.
Under US Law if you did this is would be Assault with a Deadly Weapon and you would get 5-10 years or 20 if you did it to them.
But they do it to you with impunity.
The NYT confirms the Pentagon tested an experimental PRISM missile packed with 180,000 tungsten pellets on an Iranian sports hall. Washington used a girls volleyball team as test subjects, massacring 21 civilians.
The israelis killed this little Palestinian girl for fun, as she filmed herself live on air on her phone in a makeshift tent in Gaza | from @Abu_Salah9
What a brutal reality slap!
🤡“I don't want my kids living under Chinese rule anywhere."
🙄"Your kids can stay where they are. But I think a lot of kids in China are enjoying growing in China right now."
"I don't have to step over a homeless person every 5 meters."
Even in a 4th-tier city, there's a high quality of life.
The body of this boy, who was so enthusiastic in welcoming the Pope in Lebanon in November last year, was retrieved after 3 days of searches in the rubble after Israel's mass terror attack that claimed the lives of 300 in 10 minutes
A hospital charged my neighbor $340 to bring her a warm blanket during recovery.
Line item on the bill. Labeled comfort item.
She didn’t request it. A nurse offered it kindly during a hard night.
$340 for a blanket.
The nurse who gave it to her makes $34 an hour and hasn’t gotten a raise in 3 years.
The hospital reported $210,000,000 in profit that same quarter.
The money isn’t missing.
It’s just never where the actual care happens.
Nobody talks about how "utilities" are no longer regulated. Your electric bill doubled, your water bill tripled, and there's nothing you can do because it's a private monopoly. They privatized the public good, eliminated competition, and now charge whatever they want.
USA has given at least $1.7 billion in cumulative grants for "refugee resettlement" in Israel.
We don't do this with any other country.
There's no comparable program that receives a direct, named congressional line item for "refugee resettlement" except for Israel.
A video that Netanyahu does not want the world to see
Let the world know by sharing this
Tens of thousands of anti-Zionist rabbis gathered in the Barclays Center in New York City to say that the Zionist regime is a criminal and occupying gang and does not represent the Jews.
This is what the typical spontaneous resistance to forced mobilization in Ukraine looks like.
The main cast: women of all ages.
A young woman screaming at the top of her lungs.
An older woman — apparently a local vendor — less agile, but no less determined.
Some spirited guy comes charging in and starts going after the draft officers.
A little dog is barking its tiny heart out, contributing what it can to the resistance.
Sadly, they didn’t manage to save the man. He was shoved into a vehicle and driven away to go perform his “civic duty.”
This is Mykolaiv.
But these days, it could be almost anywhere in Ukraine.
