Charlie Kirk's assassination cld've been by anyone- but it'd be foolish not to note how- due to calling for the Epstein Files 2b released while being influential w MAGA- he had fallen out of favor w an administration that has been backing and carrying out political assassinations
To be clear I would be just as unmoved if a mainstream Democrat-aligned manipulator like Bill Maher or Joe Scarborough was killed, and I would be just as disdainful of their memory. They are exactly the same to me.
I had no strong feelings about Charlie Kirk especially; to me he was just one of the empire's countless flying monkeys, and his role will be easily filled by the next flying monkey in line. My disdain toward him was of the ordinary blanket variety that I hold toward all the lackeys of the most tyrannical and murderous power structure on our planet, regardless of their political affiliation.
All mainstream Republican pundits, politicians and political operatives are evil pieces of shit. All mainstream Democratic pundits, politicians and political operatives are evil pieces of shit. You cannot become a high-level pundit, politician or political operative in either mainstream party without being an evil piece of shit. It's part of the job description, because the job requires you to make excuses for the abuses of a globe-spanning empire which is fueled by human blood.
The Republicans are not your friend. The Democrats are not your friend. If you have any special attachment to any mainstream American pundit, politician or political operative, then you have a special attachment to an evil piece of shit. That includes Charlie Kirk, and it includes all major Republican pundits and politicians, and it includes all major Democrat pundits and politicians.
There are no exceptions. That's just the way the empire is structured.
Myself and @markgoodw_in and a few others tried to warn people in January 2024 that a lot of the policies hated by covid-era "dissidents" were being re-packaged and resold by the "right" instead of the "left" to minimize resistance to them and make them more palatable.
Now, following the passage of the GENIUS act, the push for digital ID returns. The excuse has now shifted from the vaccine/vaccine passports, to paving the way for dollar stablecoins. Where is the "resistance" on this now? Too many of them will continue to call me "blackpilled" for not clapping like a seal while Trump's administration pushes surveillance, programmable money and digital IDs –– stuff they were ostensibly against before the last election.
If you think this administration cares what the public thinks, leave a comment saying a big fat NO to digital ID.
Sadly, in the US, I can’t see people participating in a general strike on behalf of others. I think if things get bad enough, they might consider it, but they have to be personally hurting. And that’s everything in a nutshell that’s wrong with America. No empathy. That’s the real Disney legacy. We live in a nation that believes in fairytales and closes their eyes to the suffering of others. Study show when you give kids sad stories to read they develop empathy. When you give them only happy stories to watch they don’t.
Corporate greed at its ugliest:
Starbucks
CEO Pay: $96 million
Median Worker: $15,000
Coke
CEO Pay: $28 million
Median Worker: $14,000
Carnival Cruise
CEO Pay: $24 million
Median Worker: $17,000
Chipotle
CEO Pay: $19 million
Median Worker: $17,000
This is not sustainable.
Will they dig into Barr and Epstein’s CIA connections (both confirmed)? “As attorney general, William Barr personally investigated Jeffrey Epstein's death. Now Congress has questions.” https://t.co/0UIeW66KZU
The Democratic Party has a net approval rating of -30 & zero control over the White House, the Senate, the House or the Supreme Court. Their decision to abandon the working class and cater to their billionaire campaign funders was a risk they should not have taken. Go Zohran, go!
100% of Thai women working in Israeli agriculture report being sexually assaulted in Israel — 654 of 654 surveyed. A report by immigration experts Dr. Yahel Kurlander and Dr. Shahar Shoham said “the State of Israel has abandoned these women” and that filing a complaint can mean losing both job and home.
New from @maxyyjones - A closer look at the CDC director’s history and connections reveal that her government career is closely linked to the intersections of re-branded eugenics, the militarization of healthcare and the expansion of the bio-surveillance state.
I have never been less open to people with different opinions than I am with Gaza. I am simply correct, and if you disagree with me you are wrong and I hate you.
I have alienated various readers and online factions over the years with the things I have written, usually unintentionally; normally I don't like to alienate people who resonate with my work. Gaza was the first time I've been happy to lose anyone who disagreed with me. It was like, You're leaving? Good. Get the fuck out. I'm going to keep saying what I'm saying and if you don't like it then I don't like you. If you don't leave then I'll kick you out myself.
I like to stay open to different perspectives, and I like to have people with different perspectives stay open to me. But Gaza is such an easy and obvious moral question that I stand nothing to gain from any contact with anybody who answers that question incorrectly. I've never been so fast and so confident in making enemies than I have over this issue.
JFK on the nuclear test ban: A journey of a 1000 miles must begin with a single step. My fellow Americans let us step back from the shadows of war & seek out the way of peace. And if that journey is a 1000 miles or even more, let history record that we took the first step.
.@rogerwaters and I discuss the mechanisms by which capitalism creates a culture of fear, priming the masses to hate their neighbors instead of the oligarchy that controls their lives and perpetuates their misery.
The big danger to Latin America is the very difficult & desperate conditions in the countries themselves, unrelated to Cuba: illiteracy, bad housing, maldistribution of wealth, these are the problems that are staggering & to which we should be devoting our attention. - JFK
Twitter files: Trump's FBI got Twitter/X to suppress accounts critical of their coup attempt in Venezuela.
Mine was one of them. Grok says mine is likely still suppressed. From 500k average views then to 10k average views today.
Most people's brains are on invisible leashes. Learn about hypnosis techniques and propaganda techniques so you can more quickly recognize when you are being manipulated! Every ad you see has been carefully shaped. Every brand you like you like because of advertising. Everyone you don't like you don't like because of propaganda, from friends, family, the church, or the media. And on and on.
New photo emerges of Jeffrey Epstein on his private jet wearing an IDF (Israel Defense Forces) sweat shirt. The photo was supplied by Epstein's butler (on the right) to the Telegraph (UK).
The old code of equity law under which we live commands for every wrong a remedy, but in too many communities, wrongs are inflicted and there are no remedies at law. Unless the Congress acts, the only remedy is the street. - JFK
