A man with a $200 computer took down a $72-million empire—one phone call at a time. In 1985, Edward Johnson sat in his small Atlanta apartment, watching televangelist Jerry Falwell on the screen. "Pick up the phone, friend. Call now." The toll-free number flashed across the

This is incredible. I did a little experiment to show how @Microsoft's complicity with genocidal Zionism is even built into its "Copilot" AI editing tool (which I don't personally use). I gave it four sentences, two accurate and two filled with typical Zionist lies, along with

“Gaza is a model: a preview of a global order where international law is discarded, colonial violence is normalized, and entire populations are sacrificed with impunity.” Journalist Chris Hedges says that Israel’s attacks on Gaza, rebranded from “self-defense” to “war” to a

China has many cities that specialize in specific products. Like Detroit for cars, they have Cixi for hair dryers, Wenzhou for lighters, and Ningbo for home appliances. We’re familiar with this idea for cultural sectors, like NYC/Shanghai for finance, Silicon Valley/Shenzhen for

Is there anything more beautiful than returning native land to its sons and daughters? Mexico has been doing this repeatedly since Sheinbaum took office, and it just melts your heart
🚨🇲🇽 BREAKING — Claudia Sheinbaum RETURNS another 3,000 hectares of ancestral LAND to the Ódami people, to be managed communally and kept out of reach of the Real-Estate Cartel. The deep Mexico resurfaces under Mexico’s Fourth Transformation.

Ask yourself why every atrocity is immediately framed before it’s investigated. Why the conclusion arrives before the facts. Why "Islamic" is a category, but "Western" never is. This isn’t journalism. It’s pre-authorization.

Pope Nicholas V, the pope who authorized racial enslavement, directed the Portuguese toward Africans and the Spanish toward indigenous peoples. He is credited with inventing racism and expelling the Moors. Through the Church, racial enslavement of Africans began in Europe. Pope

Obama expanded Bush’s wars in the Middle East and dropped over 26,000 bombs in 2016 alone. Biden and Harris funded a genocide then tried to gaslight the public that it wasn’t happening as it was being live-streamed over social media. Your liberal “heroes” are war criminals.

They do not need to control your body. They only need to control your conclusions. If they can make you defend their wars, Justify their violence, Hate their enemies, And doubt your own eyes, They do not need prisons. You already live in one.

It's a trip how close Chomsky came to sneaking out death's door before his extensive Epstein ties became public knowledge. If he hadn't lived so long his parting would've been massively mourned; now when his time's up everyone's just gonna go "Oh hey Epstein's friend died."

At approximately the same time Noam Chomsky was wagging his finger at the Palestinian-led BDS movement, he was meeting privately with Ehud Barak, among the worst war criminals in Israeli history. The meetings were brokered by Jeffrey Epstein.

Try to wrap your mind around the fact that Europe finds it easier and more reasonable to go to (potentially nuclear) war with Russia than to keep Israel out of a song contest or a football match

They ousted me from my role as Senior Advisor DEI and then abruptly from my role as Professor, and blacklisted me in both industries, all due to my Palestine advocacy. So, as a not-so-good-little brown girl, I wrote a book to expose the entire sham. Proud to reveal the first

@TuttReal Chomsky's a sheepdog sheparding people away from Marx and into boutique leftism and the Dems. He's a gatekeeper guarding the edge of permissible compatibility. To paraphrase his own words to Andrew Marr, if he'd been anything else, he wouldn't have been in the position he's in.

Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker, published 70 years ago in April 1955, features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist & rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea! 😆
