This young man had it figured out, so they killed him

i join in with mr peters here as i've been saying the entire trump act was, as president, little different than when he was fully active in the pro wrestling tv world. this be vindication;
The headline has, as they say, more than one meaning. A “heel” is something like a cad or a rake. An untrustworthy person; the sort of person who hits on your wife and lifts a $20 out of your wallet when you’re not looking. Trump is that kind of person. He is also another kind of heel. The professional wrestling kind.
In a professional wrestling match, the heel is the bad guy that the old ladies ringside screech at. He’s the guy who hits the other guy over the head with a folding chair when the other guy’s back is turned. The Iron Sheik was a heel. So – and this is interesting – was Hulk Hogan.
Before he became a face, which in professional wrestling is the good guy. The guy who shakes off being hit over the head with a folding chair by the heel, gets back up off the mat and eventually pins the heel, to the exultation of the old ladies ringside.
Trump is both a heel and a face............more........
i see no way to argue with caitlin on this one;
That story about Google killing hundreds of thousands of trees in Finland for its data center project is such a perfect microcosm of what capitalism is doing to our world.
Recent mass media headlines are saying the tech giant “illegally” cut down “250,000” trees, but both claims paint an inaccurate picture of what actually happened. Google killed 400,000 trees (250,000 near a town called Muhos and another 150,000 near the village of Otanmäki), and unless the company’s executives actually wind up going to prison for this, their actions cannot properly be described as “illegal”.
I don’t know who first coined the saying “If the penalty is a fine, then it’s legal for rich people,” but it certainly applies here. The Finnish Licensing and Supervision Authority has reportedly ordered Google to suspend all “measures that significantly change the environment,” saying it will “consider enforcement proceedings and fines” if the megacorporation does not comply. Google’s parent company Alphabet has a net worth of around four trillion dollars; whatever paltry penalties Finland might impose for these ecocidal actions, it won’t have any meaningful effect on Google.............more..........
larry johnson knows that things aren't as 'our free press' would categorize them;
I spent enough years at the Central Intelligence Agency that I learned how to read the press stories that the agency’s friends place for it. Shane Harris’s new profile of CIA Director John Ratcliffe in The Atlantic, published October 23, is one of those stories. It is written to make Ratcliffe look like the sober professional in a chaotic administration. But read it carefully and it confirms something Washington has spent four years denying: the United States is not merely supplying Ukraine. Through the CIA, it is fighting Russia.
“The CIA is in the lead”
Harris does not bury the lede. Armed with information the CIA provides, Ukraine’s military has been launching strikes deep inside Russia. American spy satellites give Ukraine early warning of incoming Russian missiles and drones. Among U.S. personnel on the ground in Ukraine, a retired senior officer who travels there frequently told him, “the CIA is in the lead.”
It gets better. A Baltic intelligence officer who works closely with the Americans told Harris that, whatever Donald Trump says in public, the CIA’s operations against Russia are now “much more aggressive” than they were under Joe Biden. Officers in the CIA’s Special Activities Center, the people who run covert and paramilitary operations, are reportedly among the happiest at Langley, because they are so busy. And this is not new. As Harris notes, the CIA helped build Ukraine’s modern intelligence apparatus after Russia took Crimea in 2014. This has been the agency’s war for more than a decade..........more...........
this strikes me as probable as after all the schwab boys kept talking about their need to 'build back better' which would imply destruction of existing items to create a void in which to 'build back'. its certainly happening here in the empire;
The “student protests” in France were not protests, and those behind them were not students. Those who organized them operate in the shadows, and those who carry out their orders are better described as urban guerrillas.
French President Emmanuel Macron himself stated:
“Last Saturday we had political and seditious acts by ultra-left groups whose aim is to bring down the Republic.”
Of course, Macron stating these words is rather ironic, as he is one of the architects of this mess. Indeed, his government engineered this situation through policies custom-made to “bring down the republic.”........more.........
