Goldbugs were right after all. To be fair it’s always been a much, much better investment than shit like crypto or stocks. At least gold is real and has real uses in the real world.
It was interesting to see all the mainstream outlets suddenly talking about extrajudicial killings in Gaza like they haven’t spent the last 2 years cheerleading for an extrajudicial genocide in Gaza. The articles are all meant to present an implicit message - “look at how scary and violent these Arab barbarians are. This is what happens when you let them run their own country instead of killing them all”.
What the fuck? They’re raiding people’s homes for using jailbroken TV sticks? The UK is so, unbelievably cooked
It’s pure racism. Decades of propaganda has trained people to see violence by Muslims as different from violence from other groups. People here have no issue with Ukraine torturing and executing Russian collaborators, but when Arabs do it they’re seen as violent savages who’ve been hypnotized into ultra-violence by their primitive religion.
Been ongoing since the 2000s when Venezuelan people elected Hugo Chavez, a left-wing populist politician. He nationalized Venezuela’s oil industry and kicked the American oil extraction companies out so that Venezuela could sell their own oil and keep the money it generates. Since then the US has carried out an economic war on Venezuela with sanctions, embargoes, coup attempts and sporadic military action. This has resulted in extreme instability and poverty in Venezuela, and downstream of that it has increased government corruption and created a migrant crisis out of the country that has further exacerbated tensions between Venezuela and the US.
Why would you ever expect the American media to report this issue accurately? Supporting endless oil wars is bipartisan in America. With the Gaza Genocide at a detente, they need a new meat grinder as an excuse to pump defense industry stocks full of more government money.
Better yet, look into the arrest of Tom Alexandrovich. He’s a pedophile who was arrested in Las Vegas last August for soliciting a 15 year old and DHS let him escape the country because he’s an Israeli with ties to Netanyahu.
They’re talking about the Popular Forces here, an ISIS-linked drug trafficking gang that collaborated with Israel during the genocide. Their leader, Yasser Abu Shabab, recently wrote an op-ed for the Washington Post, despite being illiterate. When the ceasefire was announced, Israel said they would not give give them any support or amnesty lol. Now they’re stuck in Gaza with Hamas hunting them down. Moral of the story is never become a collaborator, especially with western-backed regimes. You always end up being left hanging onto the last airplane as it takes off from Kabul.
EU and USA in a competition for who can dickride Israel the hardest:
Compare the actual genocide that’s unfolding in Gaza to Xinjiang. See the difference? That’s why.
Additionally, the level of repression in Xinjiang is baseline reality for anybody living in any of the American-backed monarchies and dictatorships of the MENA region, so it’s not even considered unusual to them.
Guaido ran off to Florida and is getting paid a fat salary from the “Adam Smith Center for Economic Freedom” to give seminars nowadays. Curious that all of these “democratic freedom fighters” never stay around in their own country for long.
Venezuela’s petroleum deposits are oil sands, very deep underground under old growth rainforest. Oil sands are mined, not pumped like conventional oil, so it would require ripping up all that old growth rainforest so that they can start digging. For that reason Venezuela’s oil patch is one of the last on earth that’s mostly untapped, and you know the American government is drooling at the idea of getting their hands on it.
Here’s what mining oil sands looks like in Alberta (Canada) as a visualizer:
Considering the pivot to China, there’s likely someone at the US State Department right now with their finger hovering over the “coup” button for El-Sisi…
I dont get why the government is blocking sending the whales to China tho. If the choice is the government bankrolling Marineland, the whales being killed or the whales being sent to China isn’t selling them to China the obviously best choice? Are they worried that the big bad Chinese will steal our Whale IP?
The Nepali student is very likely dead and buried in an Israeli mass grave or under rubble unfortunately. All of the foreign workers were released in January.
A few facts to keep in mind in the coming weeks regarding this deal:
All of the “hostages” are really prisoners of war, everyone currently in Hamas captivity was an active duty IDF soldier captured from military bases in Israel or taken captive while in Gaza as they were committing genocide.
Hamas has offered to release all the hostages in exchange for a full ceasefire since October 11, 2023
Israel is an illegal genocidal apartheid regime that’s committed to annexing and ethnically cleansing all Palestinian land, and as such will likely try to scuttle this peace deal and blame Hamas.
Fundamentally, elections were designed to be a peaceful alternative to the peasantry revolting against the government and beheading their king. As Americans come to grip with the reality that their elections are meaningless, their politicians are bought and their only alternative to fascism is fascism-lite with a pride pin (no trans ppl allowed though) this attitude will continue to fester.
I mean I agree, 4 years of Biden was a disastrous failure that Kamala should have made a hard break from as soon as he dropped out, but didn’t. Ridiculous, its like they were intentionally trying to lose.
Quite frankly anybody that’s still defending the Democratic Party and the AIPAC-driven Harris 2024 campaign sounds more like a bot than any of the real people I talk about politics with every day who absolutely despise both Trump and the feckless, centrist Dems.
