That is interesting. I bet it was a legitimate attack, but the government’s attempt to cover up their embarrassment (particularly the fleeing “guard”) has muddied the water, as any cover-up will do. I must have missed that one at the time.
This isn’t discussed enough, likely because it doesn’t have the shock and awe that war does, similar to how the relatively small amount of violent crime hits the news while all the vehicular deaths are mostly glossed over. They rarely actually have any effect on the rulers, yet they devastate the populace. Proponents say dumb shit like, “It will cause the people to rebel!” No, it won’t. When you and your children are sick and literally starving, it is difficult to organize resistance, not only physically but also mentally as your cognitive functions suffer as well. That’s also assuming that there is actually a fundamental issue with the government. Many times, sanctions are a cudgel used by western bullies against countries that won’t play ball with extractive economics or other harmful policies. Sometimes, the pain caused to the population is the point because they had the gall to elect leaders the bullies don’t like.
I’m honestly surprised we haven’t seen an assassination by drone from a nonstate actor yet. It’s cheap, would subvert many of the protections aimed at stopping shooters, and security likely wouldn’t react in time or have the equipment to effectively stop it.
Thank you. She’s an absolute ghoul. Not to say whoever replaces her won’t be as well, but I’m not celebrating one ghoul over another based on who appointed them, their gender, or their genitals. That’s outright goofy shit.
You’re a rude piece of shit, fuck off.
Read the article. It was plainly stated, that’s why I put euthanize in quotations as that was the terminology used by the staff attempting to murder him.
Why are the gun control folks always focused on dumb shit? Many firearms are capable of being modified for automatic fire easily and at home. These clowns continuously fail to educate themselves and just stumble from scary media word to scary media word. Banning glocks because some criminals are installing (already illegal!) Glock switches isn’t going to stop moron criminals from having glocks with switches installed.
Makes me reconsider being an organ donor. They were trying to “euthanize” him to sell his organs. This was attempted murder for profit.
I’m guessing you’re from Europe. American tourists that go to Europe generally are of significantly higher income than the rest of us. Please, do treat them like shit. Also, if you can make the whole process costly for them, that would be greatly appreciated.
So much of forensics is bullshit or not quite as accurate as it’s portrayed to the public. People are already primed to accept information from people with titles/degrees and copaganda television cements that trust in these “experts.”
I am absolutely bewildered to hear that democrats are following in the republicans footsteps! Unimaginable!
That’s an interesting point you made about disabling the tracking breaking trust with friends. Everyone is entitled to private moments, and it is strange that friends would feel entitled to your location, particularly when the focus should primarily be about the safety of the group. I suppose we have young people who have come of age in an era when they’ve had little digital privacy. This doesn’t just include corporations and governments but also from their guardians. I could see how this may seem normal to them, but it seems unhealthy from where I’m standing.
I find it interesting that agreements with the US (trumps NAFTA replacement from his first term) would be honored. Our government can’t be trusted by anybody, including its supporters.
Absolutely. Linux in general has become very approachable. I recently came back to Linux after 15 years away and I have been very impressed with how well everything just works. I’ve only experienced very minor issues with peripherals that were solved with a simple Google search or update.
Good, ya’ll keep your trash, I’m already surrounded and under siege by enough shitty white folks.
Was it promptly followed by an Israeli bombing?
