Let’s create a massive unchecked surveillance network that violates people’s rights. Let’s hire incompetent people to murder citizens in the streets. Let’s destroy people neighborhoods by installing massive data centres that use up all the resources, create unbearable noise, and make the citizens pay the bills.
I hear you. But we cant reason with a group of cretins (maga) who have decided that raping and trafficking children is acceptable. The most heinous acts against defenseless little children is just another Tuesday morning. fuck you maga pedophile worshipers
Let's send troops to polling stations as intimidation and throw out thousands of ballots if one of them feels suspicious, so people aren't gonna vote us out.
It will take decades to recover from this administration disaster. US needs to change and to make sure the ones who did this to their own people and the world pays the right price.
the gop wants to fuck this country over because it knows they wont win the midterms ....and it will take the dems more than 2 years to fix the damage if they can fix it at all ...them blame them for not comming up with the silver bullet ..this is what higher education was made for ...the solution is to burn it all down in front of them
Only a part of it. They moved 27 tons physically back to the Netherlands and an additional 59 tons were sold in New York and bought back in London, they are now stored at the Bank of England. This means that about 27.5% of the gold of the Netherlands in the US was removed, more than 200 tons remain at the Fed in New York (for now).
For reference: 1 metric ton of gold is 32,150.7 troy ounces. This makes 1 metric ton of gold worth about $142,000,000 USD at the moment, or 1 billion dollars per 7 tons.
America has had its downfall coming for a while. It's not a big surprise that it's at the hands of corrupt pedos either. This was part of my high school curriculum about 25 years ago. Everyone except America saw it coming. The sudden acceleration is a surprise. I was thinking maybe towards the end of my life, not in the middle.
I was in high school in the mid 80s. We studied the USA as part of economics, and all of us as an entire class came to the conclusion that within 50 years, we would be watching the start of the demise of the United States of America. A bunch of teenagers figured it out in 1987. And here we are.
IIRC George Orwell was concerned with government overreach, abuse of power, and tyrannical governments. He used to rant on his soap box at speakers corner in London, but he felt noone listened. So he would write allegorical stories.
I'm pretty sure he'd be more concerned with Flock surveillance and the police's abuse of it. Maybe even get a bit heated about the sanitization of language being pushed by social media to appeal to advertisers. You might even get some notes about giving the digital sycophants that encourage the death of individual cognition. The economic idiocy doesn't sound like his field. Maybe the clip starts after he mentioned more Orwellian concerns, and what followed was a separate thought?
The video starts after he accuses the Republicans of praising themselves for their failures, a form of double-think that Orwell was very concerned with: "My Republican colleagues decided to spend time today patting themselves on the back for a job well-done on the economy. The same one the President tanked with his tariffs…and war with Iran…and massive tax cuts for the wealthy. George Orwell is rolling in his grave right now."
U.S. Representative Jim Himes, Democratic member of the U.S. House of Representatives representing Connecticut's 4th district. Ranking Member of the House Intelligence Committee, Himes has positioned himself as an aggressive watchdog against Trump's national security, foreign policy, and electoral maneuvers, prompting the White House to lock horns with his committee over several core issues.
And has a well established history as an unreliable business partner! From 1973 until he was elected president in 2016, Donald Trump and his businesses were involved in over 4,000 legal cases in United States federal and state courts, primarily for misrepresenting himself or his businesses, including battles with casino patrons, million-dollar real estate lawsuits, personal defamation lawsuits, and over 100 business tax disputes.
To be fair, that's something the US just does. At least for the last 26 years. So nothing that really stands out. Even longer, if you count the mass killings in Vietnam.
But before we start a war let's clean house and get rid of our most experienced military, intelligence, counter-terrorism, and law enforcement leadership.
ding ding ding. This is the core requirement for the structured power of facism to work. You must remove any and all possible points of decent or opposition regardless of competency or important so that when your ever thinning janga tower of power collapse you have less pieces below you willing to rise up against you. Thus making your collapse even faster because you got rid of all the smart/competent people for the idiots and zealots.
