"How the military-industrial complex captured US democracy" #AlJazeera
[Former Biden Aide] Ramamurti: "They will point to countries like China and say, 'Why can they build high-speed rail or housing or solar panels?'.. The reason is that the government there can direct private industry to build things far beyond the point of profitability"
Politico: "[2023] With Apple’s iPhone 15, the EU wins the charger war.. According to leaks ahead of the reveal, the iPhones are expected to use Apple's first new charging technology in more than a decade: They will feature a USB-C charging port, instead of Apple's proprietary Lightning solution."
"One of the driving forces behind the USB-C mandate is the EU's quest for sustainability and a circular economy. By EU estimates, eliminating proprietary chargers reduces e-waste by approximately 11,000 metric tons annually."
If it wasnt for the EU regulation, there would not be widespread USB-C adoption... Merchantile, ultra capitalist muckmuckers would have slaved people to their bizarre methods that only worked for them.
Hardware upgrade complete... now have an ultra portable Linux, USB-C for all things - power, headphones..
The private complex, surface state is pushing these people out in front, always working the victimhood arbitrage and the Israel affinity angle.. But executed at scale it looks like a conspiracy around a certain minority. You are placing a big fat target on their backs, when things go south and pitchforks come out, a lot of such people can suffer en masse, again. Stop what you are doing right f-ing now.
Tyler Cohen, AIPacman, the torta bitch, the Abundance guy at NYT.. Why are they all Jew?
Out-of-shape talentless bitch.. somehow always manages to stay around.. Massive Zio money must be behind that...
New York Post: "Paramount in talks to buy Bari Weiss’ Free Press for up to $200M, give her senior editorial role at CBS News"
TAC: "In China, as the assembled leaders of more than 20 nations waited in the hall for the summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization to begin.. Modi and.. Putin walked in holding hands. They approached China’s President Xi Jinping and formed a tight, intimate circle. The leaders talked and laughed as Modi joined hands with Xi. For a Trump administration bent on driving wedges between these leaders, this scene, more than any words that came out of the SCO summit, was a shocking blow."
"Public overwhelmingly back wealth tax package to fix public services and rebuild Britain..

Public welcome wealth taxes as a vital means to fund public services and build a fairer Britain
-
Implementing wealth taxes improves government’s standing with public and key voters

TUC general secretary says voters want a “grown up” conversation about reforming tax system

New analysis from the union body reveals tens of billions can be raised through a windfall tax on banks"
Informed Comment: "One year ago, the UN General Assembly demanded that Israel must end its occupation of the Palestinian Territories within twelve months... The General Assembly voted, by 124 votes to 14.. that not only 'demanded' an end to the occupation within a year, but called on all countries to refrain from trade involving Israeli settlements..
A year later, Israel has failed to comply with any of the demands of the 124 states...most of the 124 countries that voted to demand an end to the occupation have done very little to enforce those demands. If they fail to enforce them now, they will only confirm Israel’s presumption that its corrupt influence on U.S. politics still ensures blanket impunity for systematic war crimes."
Great example of US mil executing orders for protecting corporate interests
"The US Navy helped Venezuelan Vice President Juan Vicente Gómez seize power in a coup."
US surface state ran Venezuella at one point..
"By the 1930s, under the presidency of Juan Vicente Gomez, three foreign oil companies controlled about 98% of production [in Venezuella]."
It was decided, top-down, the Gaza issue is "too divisive" and it was obeyed.. It's like they are working for AIPAC.. Should we call this guy David AIPacman?
"The Dark Money Behind “Progressive” Influencers (w/ Taylor Lorenz & John Ross)"
Wired: "After the Democrats lost in November, they faced a reckoning. It was clear that the party had failed to successfully navigate the new media landscape... Now, Democrats hope that the secretive Chorus Creator Incubator Program, funded by a powerful liberal dark money group called The Sixteen Thirty Fund, might tip the scales. The program kicked off last month, and creators involved were told by Chorus that over 90 influencers were set to take part. Creators told WIRED that the contract stipulated they’d be kicked out and essentially cut off financially if they even so much as acknowledged that they were part of the program. Some creators also raised concerns about a slew of restrictive clauses in the contract.. Influencers included in communication about the program, and in some cases an onboarding session for those receiving payments from The Sixteen Thirty Fund, include Olivia Julianna.. Loren Piretra.. Barrett Adair.. David Pakman.. Leigh McGowan, and dozens of others"
Both of those guys were pro-TR types in Syria.. There is a message here to "Turkey". Is US trying to warn against a potential attack on Kurds?
"[9/4, US] Drone attack targets leaders in Turkistan Party, HTS on Aleppo Road... the individuals targeted in the drone strike were Abu Faruq al-Uyghuri, a member of the Turkistan Islamic Party, and Abu Salamah, a senior commander in Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS).
