@tlalane Saw someone repost your video about that white American who took in a white SA famiy. I guess he should have taken in some of you poor, innocent, sinless, never-do-wrong South Africanniึึers right?
@tlalane An entire thread of this. I'm sure apartheid made them this way. I'm sure they weren't feral animals to begin with for whom apartheid was a kindness.

In the early 19th century, Bombay was just a cluster of fishing islands: no Dalal Street, no South Bombay elite, no high-rises.

But by 1900, it was one of the richest port cities in Asia.
What changed?

Bombayโ€™s initial wealth and power came from one illegal trade:
Opium.

โ— In the 1850s, opium made up 50% of Indiaโ€™s total exports
โ— Britain earned more from Indian opium than from Indian cotton for 30 years
โ— Bombayโ€™s early Crorepatis made their first fortune off a banned substance

History is messier than you think.

This is the forgotten story of how dope money built Mumbai.

Read on.

By the 1820s, Britain had a problem:

They were obsessed with Chinese tea but didnโ€™t want to pay for it in silver.

Solution?

Sell something China would pay silver for.

They chose opium.

And Indiaโ€”especially the Malwa regionโ€”was ground zero for poppy cultivation.
Opium was cultivated across Malwa (todayโ€™s Madhya Pradesh & Rajasthan), then trafficked to China via Bombay.

British merchants, Indian traders, and Chinese smugglers created a shadow supply chain that pumped millions into Bombayโ€™s banks.

Everyone got high.

Bombay got rich.

Why does he need to stand up to the *checks notes* โ€˜White non-Jew wingโ€™ of โ€˜America Firstโ€™, specifically? Think weโ€™re gonna make lampshades with your ugly ass face?

Donโ€™t flatter yourself, Max Gaybrahms.
Imagine thinking this extremely jewish cunt is still living here or anywhere near America in 5 years. Image

1/13 It is SICKENING what Trump is doing to our country AND our reputation with our allies; allies which are disappearing EVERY month Trump is allowed to dirty our name and the name of the Oval Office. He has been enriching himself and we have NO idea
facebook.com/share/v/1NXX8Tโ€ฆ
2/13 exactly what he has promised dictators. He shuns our allies and is in BED with at least THREE dictators, treating them as BFF's while DESTROYING our relationship with allies who have been friends of ours for DECADES. How he has treated Ukrainian Leader Volodymyr Zelensky
3/13 like SHIT ever since he came into office, COMPLETELY disregarding what Russia has done to his country. With our and our allies help, Ukraine was moving Russia BACK, destroying TONS of Russian equipment in the process. THEN Trump came into power and has been treating Zelensky

@michaeldweiss 1).
โ€ž @realDonaldTrump's latest attempt to end this carnage could be seen as a negotiating tactic, intended to wear away at Moscowโ€™s recalcitrance over time.
@michaeldweiss @realDonaldTrump 2).
But most of Trumpโ€™s allies in Europe believe this strategy will fail unless the @WhiteHouse accepts two basic things about the war: First, Russia started it. And second, Ukraine and its allies need to force Russia to stop it.
@michaeldweiss @realDonaldTrump @WhiteHouse 3).
Thatโ€™s what the Europeans have spent the past three and a half years trying to do, and theyโ€™re convinced that they can ultimately succeed.
โ€“ ยปWe already had a sustainable planยซ โ€“ a senior European diplomat involved in implementing it told me.

Lane Kiffinโ€™s future hangs in doubt after a meeting at the UM chancellorโ€™s home over whether he may continue to coach despite intentions to leave for LSU, sources tell @YahooSports.

Vehicles belonging to Kiffin & AD Keith Carter were seen leaving at 6:45.

As they have now for a week, LSU officials believe they hold Lane Kiffinโ€™s commitment to be their next coach, though his desire to continue coaching Ole Miss in the postseason is a snag delaying the formalization of the move, sources tell @YahooSports.

The meeting the Ole Miss chancellorโ€™s home drew interest on a cold, rainy and dark night in Oxford.

At one point, a dark SUV slowed to a crawl out front of the home and a woman emerged from the passenger window, hanging out to snap a shot of vehicles out front. Image

@michaeldweiss 1).
โ€ž[...] a war of attrition is also being waged on the political front and the economic front. Military actions play an important role in achieving political goals, but are not the final phase.
@michaeldweiss 2).
In the absence of a unified vision of a new security architecture on the European continent, without security guarantees and real financial programmes, the war with Russia risks turning into a broader war with over the capture of Eastern Europe.โ€

This week has offered many stark insights:
1. The US is by far the most corrupt Western country.
2. Trump's administration works for its own enrichment with Russia, sacrificing Ukraine (WSJ below).
3. The US must play no role on Ukraine-Russia issues. /1
wsj.com/world/russia/rโ€ฆ
4. Europe must offer Ukraine all the financing & arms it needs to defeat Russia.
5. Europe can only finance Ukraine sufficiently by seizing the Russian state assets in the West ($300bn), which Witkoff & Kushmer want to embezzle for themselves. /2
6. Trump has effectively taken away all US guarantees from NATO, so Europe has to arm asap to stand without the US.
7. Ukraine & Europe must stop asking for US security guarantees, because Trump does not do guarantees. /3

โ€œSteve Keenโ€™s house-price โ†” credit impulse result isnโ€™t just a correlation.
Under Kaleckiโ€“Godley accounting and endogenous credit, house prices must follow the acceleration of credit.
Itโ€™s not a coincidence โ€” itโ€™s macro theory.โ€ Image
House prices do not just follow the level of debt; they respond to the change in the credit impulse โ€” the acceleration of mortgage credit. Image

Danielle Smith is not the mastermind of the Alberta separatism movement.

The fact Dennis Modry has bragged about $500M being made available to aid in separatist efforts should remove any doubt about where the threat is originating. Itโ€™s the US Trump Administration.
Another pipeline to the coast is a direct threat to the supply Canada provides, at a huge discount, to US refineries and US based O&G companies who moved their head offices south of the border when Kenney was still premier and Keystone XL was the priority.
Canadian energy independence and increased capacity to supply other foreign buyers puts Canadian sovereignty as the priority and removes control of the resource Alberta owns out of American hands and back into Canadianโ€™s circle of influence.
