Pentagon ran secret anti-vax campaign to undermine China during pandemic

Absolutely disgusting.

Isn't shit like this how we ended up with polio in Afghanistan, too? I swear I read something about the US military causing an anti-vax movement there, too.

It was long before 2020, I'm pretty sure.

And remember, that includes children. Israel is saying all kids in Gaza are terrorists . Even babies

Never need for forget stories like this. They call the equivalent of 911 for help, get gunned down, and when paramedics come to rescue the 5-6-yo girl, they target the paramedics.

Obi-Wan was definitely "not awful," and at least "a bit better than mid."

I didn't hate it, but I don't think it was something I ever needed, either.

i am surprised she didnt slip in more antisemitism by blaming jews for killing jesus and/or blaming them for fat fuck getting convicted

She already did that one and didn't want to repeat herself.

H.R. 6090, the 2023 Awareness of Antisemitism Act, was introduced last October and passed the House by a 320-91 vote on May 1. In an X post shortly before the House vote, Greene stated her intention to vote against it, saying that the bill could convict Christians for believing the Gospel that says Jesus was handed over to Herod to be crucified by the Jews. Shes not entirely making this up, since the bill adopts the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliances definition of antisemitism, which includes claims of Jews killing Jesus as part of its definition. (For what its worth, the ACLU has also spoken out against H.R. 6090, arguing that it threatens to censor political speech which is critical of Israel.)

Im thinking either fake, or if real, not a real US military operation, likely a bad recount of events.

The IDF are already documented in the last six months as disguising themselves as doctors and aid workers. I wouldn't be surprised if they cosplayed as Americans at this point.

(The interpol topic got me thinking.)

Copying a work of art or media is not property theft. There's literally nothing stolen.

Other than "corps made it so, because end stage capitalism works like that," what makes this act something all the countries have decided it's a criminal act instead of just something to sue another party over?

I'll list a couple of my favorites, because I can't pick a single one, even if I subdivide between film and series.

I'll try to make my recommends ones that haven't been name dropped yet in the thread.

Monster

anything at all by Satoshi Kon
Darkside Blues
A Wind Named Amnesia
Wings of Honniamise
Gunslinger Girls (but only really s1)

Not an exhaustive list, but I hope someone finds something new to enjoy off of it.

I'm starting to consider just not fucking voting. It doesn't really matter. My state is going to Trump. Even if I vote for Biden it does no use. And I don't like the idea of voting for Biden if he ok'ed this incident

It matters down ballot and it matters locally. The margins are so much smaller there because there's so many fewer voters throwing numbers there.

Okay, I wasn't clear, I meant that Sharia law is incompatible with Human Rights, as the UN defines human rights.

Thank you for the clarification.

Crazyman93 posted...

That will never happen in Palestine. They enforce Sharia law, which is incompatible with human rights as recognized by the UN.

Not that fundamental religious law isn't compatible with human rights, because I'm not arguing that point. Where has the UN called out Sharia Law specifically for that, though?

That would be a headline. For all time.

I'm not gonna defend Hamas, you're right that they're backed by Iran and they're also explicitly antisemitic, but you can't ignore Israel's role in this.

Which includes backing and funding hamas, too.

Immediate and complete freeze on settlements and the eviction of Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza.

Hamas to be designated as a proscribed terrorist organization within Palestine.

International oversight/governance of Gaza with a view to holding free elections, run by an independent body.

But no. If I knew how to draw such a road map, I wouldn't be here.

Would you require any... corrective action as it pertains to Israel?

On top of that award, she should also have both cops' badges and termination letters framed on her wall.

Those cops should never be cops again.

Warns no longer prevent accessing or posting on CE.

I knew that. For some reason, I thought warned was still a couple days of time out.

Well, I still don't think it matters to them or thay they'll spend the effort to respond. Six of one...

BabyDahl posted...

And for [the end of the conflict] to occur, all that needs to happen is for Hamas to surrender and release all the hostages.

You're warned, so it doesn't matter to you, but for anyone else reading, it needs to be re-emphasized:

The instant Israel has the last of the hostages back, you'll see the genocide begin its endgame. The hostages have always been the pretense for this revenge campaign against Palestinians. And without the possibility of hidden hostages holding back the last plausibly deniable reason for full-scale carpet bombing (and worse), you're going the slaughter go into overdrive.

Does this translate to 'all police officers are racist'?

They are trained to be. Can't say it sticks for all of them, because an individual is an individual.

But policing is an inherently racist institution in America and has been since its development from the slave patrols.

Someone who willingly participates in that system... is at least a little racist.

Its been a year?

Apropos of nothing other than the completion of a trup around the sub, I wonder if a year in hell is longer than the year we've had with Trump owning up to being a dictator, two House speakers, and a genocide that was unfolding on live media until the live media was shut down.

It has been a very long year.

It's NY style, but it's not NY size. And that's disappointing. Especially for the price.

I could get so much more pizza in NY slice for the price. Sure, I wouldn't have a whole pizza, but I damn well know I'd have enough pizza.

Does Hamas specifically target journalists and aid workers?
Israel have done that for decades.

Not just aid workers, but medics and doctors who are clearly identifiable as such.

According to the IDF, before October 7, Hamas had some 30,000 fighters in the Gaza Strip, split into five regional brigades, 24 battalions and some 140 companies. Each Hamas brigade has an anti-tank missile array, sniper and engineering teams, air defenses, and a rocket firing array, the IDF says. Each brigade also has a number of outposts and strongholds in their respective regions.

Israeli news themselves

That sounds... really well-organized and -equipped for a bunch of terrorists hiding in makeshift tunnel systems.

Is Israel news inflating Hamas' capability in some ways to make them scarier and more of a good propaganda target?

Because this feels a lot like "limp wristed, iron fisted" rhetoric used in politics where you enemy is somehow an elite fighting force with missile arrays and whole engineering teams, but they're also just terrorists rats who hide in houses and whose caches of stored weapons in hospital not-tunnels (that were dug by Israel in the first place) are rusted out rifles...

Can we trust this kind of evaluation of Hamas' capabilities and readiness?

emblem-man posted...

A clearly marked military base (which I'm guessing would be quite large and not right next to residential homes) in a city is different than a home (an apartment within a a multistory building) in a city being used as a stealth military base.

Asking Google about anything IDF just generates current headlines.

But, given how crowded Israel and Palestine are, and the behavior of the IDF historically... I'm going to wager those bases are a lot closer to residential homes than you expect.

Just a gut feeling.

The show sucked. Takes regular shitty people and glorifies them. "That's why it's realistic" No, everyone being a piece of shit isn't realistic and the show throws out realism at every turn for the sake of mindless entertainment.

If you think BB glorified anyone, you missed the point.

Do you think Joker or Fight Club was glorifying their main characters?

I'm sure trying to, but for some reason, you just can't come out and either admit policing is racist or that you actually support police activities.

Neither answer will get you modded.

I don't know why you're so incapable of engaging.

Gobstoppers12 posted...

You can stop right there.

You can't stop defending cops, can you?

How much support did you throw behind the cops in 2020, during the protests? Did you believe their actions, recorded on camera, were justified and not racist?

Just to gauge how... enthusiastic your support of policing is. Are you a "thin blue line" or "all lives matter" kind of supporter? I'm getting that impression.

Tell me if I'm wrong.

I agree it is basic info and I think it's kinda ridiculous that the AI cannot answer it.

I don't think this is because it is trying to intentionally help the spread of misinformation. In fact I strongly suspect it's near the exact opposite. The company running it was so afraid of the AI spreading election misinformation that it applied safety guards far too strongly, resulting in a bunch of completely normal election topics being made "off limits" to the AI

Your interpretation feels entirely too generous.

Given what MAGA is, as a movement, either of the companies are afraid of losing clicks (and thus revenue), gaining bad press, or getting outright attacked if they tell the truth.

They're propagating disinformation (not misinformation, disinformation) in order to make money, and the MAGA movement will point explicitly to something like this and use it as ammo to recruit because, "Not even Google can say it!" will be their excuse.

You're too kind to these companies that know (not should know, actually know) better and know what they're doing when they put those restrictions in place.
