I think it would be a good wake up call to the people on this site who subsist entirely on youtube videos, bad twitter and reddit takes, and arguing. The idea of anyone spending their time that way makes me uncomfortable. Maybe driving away the last thing that makes them feel relevant could drive self-improvement.

Bill Maher voice:

This post has convinced me people who think populism has real meaning have the same distortion of reality going on as people who think pro wrestling is real.

I never see people clock major (talking dozens and dozens of deaths) natural disasters in peripheral countries either just Trump Trump Trump

Log off then, I don't want to hear about it

Iranian bank cards now operational in Russian ATMs

Iranian citizens are now able to withdraw cash using their Shetab payment system cards in Russia, marking the first phase of integration between Iran's Shetab and Russia's Mir payment networks, Iran's embassy in Moscow announced on November 11.

8 years into arguing on Stormfront with people who still hold the same views but worse. If you own an ereader it is fucking crying right now.

Sorry I just misspoke, I implied you are arguing with actual users. About national security matters.

I just want you to know how fricking epic and cool that is

How does this image make you feel white boy

Ah.

I'm sure the jingoistic Stan suffix indicates only the best intentions, purely ironic of course.

Sorry I thought you might want to eat that.

In memory of his father, who passed away earlier in October, Yusuf Serunkuma offers a heartfelt political reflection on his father’s unfulfilled dreams since Uganda’s independence in 1962.  Recounting the story of his father’s dismissal from a textile factory in the early 1990s, he illustrates the devastating impact of the neoliberal austerity policies imposed by the World Bank and the IMF on the lives of ordinary Ugandans. These imperialist interventions dismantled the material progress and aspirations of the generation that won independence, and continue to suppress the hopes of both present and future generations.

I have moments like this too 😅

Yes we can off the top of our heads point to two of the most important antiwar figures on the left today as former interrogators. Don't want to be too "sectarian". Will say more later, I plan to stick around.

Kaye's writing about the brainwashing myth being used to justify torture research is really eye opening. I think that history is critical for understanding a lot of the seemingly crazy and esoteric disinformation (with its New Age Hitlerian overtones) circulating today. A lot of the MKULTRA mythos covers up what you know about torture and chemical or biological weapons. Many stories about veterans or active duty members of the US military being driven to psychosis, in some cases over fake aliens, losing it and pulverizing a baby, US forces draining civilians in the Philippines of blood to imitate vampires, and now yet more fake air force UFO sightings, seemingly disconnected bizarro events, to me they point to ambitions of full management of pilots in combat via delusions and simulation. (Possibly convincing foreign rivals that the USA has access to real thought reprogramming technology to create sleeper agents - to make the analogy I'm making to imitating vampires more clear.) That's probably an unrealized dream for the US but to ground this a bit, they could have just lied to the pilots who fired missiles at Iran from well outside their airspace that all of the air defense failed and Iran is just propagandizing. That is a mundane way of accomplishing one of those goals.

This was all basically accomplished anyways with HUMINT and control of the distribution of ideas. I don't think these megalomaniacs would ever be satisfied though. They were putting brain implants in dogs and now they're openly defiling monkeys.

Anyways, my ramblings aside, I do have a lot to say about the antiwar left, and it's not this kind of vibes-based speculation, but I will format it properly and not ramble about it. Another IOU, as I already told someone here I would try to package my thoughts on the Myanmar conflict and how the US is using Thailand to set up a new intelligence center.

Waiting for the :jesse-wtf: now T plus one, two, three,

Thanks will give that a read soon

This really disturbed me while reading about internationally acclaimed alt media darling John Kiriakou, his "whistleblowing" laundered the CIA story about Abu Zubaydah being an effective interrogation (also lied about even being present for it, which he was not, although his service record does indicate he was working in facilities that did torture people at other times). I don't entirely understand the purpose of torture but it is seems to be mostly about making people insane and intimidation

They successfully created a good political compass. Someone has to stop them

Is anyone worse at posting than Washington DC? I just can't stand it. Same shit about urging Iran not to respond again. No points for guessing where this leads.
