The mega-talented @tsidpod at @DissidentMedia just put together a podcast intro for me that surpassed my WILDEST expectations.
Totally blown away. This man could make a gym sock look awesome. He is by far one of the most overlooked visionaries in the libertarian world.

I distinctly remember multiple cities getting burned down all summer and having Black Lives Matter force fed into every sporting event for two years straight.
Not one of them has said a word about Brian Cole Jr.
No Al Sharpton. No protests. No media coverage. No press conferences.
Nada.
An autistic black guy got framed for terrorism and has sat in a jail cell for over a year. Video evidence appears to exonerate him completely. None of them care even slightly.
Worse, Trump has let one of his supporters rot so that the CIA can get away with a false flag on American soil meant to criminalize the entire MAGA movement.
It's one of the biggest scandals in American history and it barely makes a sound.

Ukraine just banned elections & extended forced military conscription.
Defend Democracy, huh? That’s what our billions of tax dollars are paying for.
SMH.

Look at the smiles on their faces.
25 years ago today, George W. Bush signed the Patriot Act into law and gutted the Constitution. One pen stroke and America's principles were lost forever.
They knew EXACTLY what they were doing.

Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon was nothing more than Bibi’s sales pitch to get us into the war.
This obvious reality is a punchline in Israel.
Time to end our public humiliation.
End the war.
End our lopsided relationship with Israel.

Good idea

I don't think we should help Jewish or Muslim states kill civilians in wars that have nothing to do with us
Yemen: Saudi Airstrikes on Civilian Homes, Cement Factory Workers’ Housing Kill 17
Eight children were among those killed by the US-backed Saudi airstrikes

A husband and wife with four kids will spend $3-4,000 and more per month on medical insurance now, and it buys nothing but the right to pay more when you actually use it. This is an outrage. More outrageous, there is hardly any political talk about this fixing this problem even though the fix is readily at hand. Unsustainable.

Listen to the American intelligence, not the Israeli intelligence:

Good point about elites vs. conscripts in Ukraine.
Ironically, this applies to US contractors like SpaceX, which profits from DoD/ally Starlink-Starshield deals while others do the dying in the trenches.

The same pattern with every war-mongering propaganda campaign. In this case, Russia is portrayed as an irredeemable evil with whom diplomacy is impossible. Blinken kept repeating that there were no "meaningful" signs of Russian diplomacy. Actual evidence of diplomatic progress -- e.g. the 2022 Istanbul talks -- is memory-holed. Media across the spectrum (including progressive media, sadly) goes along.
After years pass and hundreds of thousands are killed in the war that could have been stopped, it finally become permissible to admit the facts:
FT reports that in early 2023 an unofficial channel floated a deal under which Putin agreed to pull Russian forces back to the pre-24 Feb 2022 line in exchange for Ukraine dropping NATO membership and recognising Russian control of Crimea (plus a land corridor). Zelenskyy and Yermak reportedly refused even to discuss territorial concessions, believing they could secure better terms on the battlefield.
Mediators say the US also declined to back the channel. Participants later called it a missed chance for a settlement more favourable to Ukraine than what followed.
Now, imagine how many lives would be saved, the energy sector would not be in ruins, the economy, democracy would be preserved if the deal happened back then...
TERRIBLE, DISGUSTING, INUMAN.

"Concessions to Russia" = more weapons, aid, intelligence sharing, Patriot interceptors, and Starlink connectivity for Ukraine, with Americans footing the bill
Why is Trump making so many concessions to Russia now?
I think it's three things.
