Two decades ago, Michael Parenti published his book "To Kill A Nation" concerning the attack on Yugoslavia. Reading it today, one is reminded about Karr's expression of "the more things change, the more they stay the same." Excerpts following: ImageImageImage
On the nature of the "intervention" (that's one of the many euphemisms for Western wars), he calls out the obvious #DoubleStandards. The West is really good at those and mainstream media (mostly) follows suit. A systemic problem, even today, ~20 years later. ImageImage
He lists all the measures, goals and outcomes that were forced on Yugoslavia due to its dependency from Western loans. To be fair, this dependency required somebody to walk into a trap, ignoring some warnings. ImageImageImage

@1337_FAFO @jessgill03 For those who missed Jess Gill's video clip @jessgill03

"Why is it acceptable to say someone can burn a Bible but if someone damages a Quran they should be punished?"

It's about the #DoubleStandards exposed in the crazy #VirtueSignalling #Woke Left!

@1337_FAFO @jessgill03 Reason was in Oxford was to ask students if think #ReligiousTolerance MORE IMPORTANT than #FreedomOfExpression

And highlights their #Woke #DoubleStandards

They think freedom of expression MORE important

In fact BASIS of #FreeSociety

All for #BurningBibles!

A #thread 🧵on why Canadians are being forced to pay for corruption and ethnic cleansing, to support a NAZI regime in #Ukraine

Chrystia #Freeland

An Obsessed Ukrainian Nationalist who has access to Canada's credit card

First off, the way you view Trudeau's LPC needs to change

#Trudeau isn't running the show, #Freeland is fully in charge of the party, and she is the one holding Justin's puppet strings

Keep that front and center every time you hear him speak

#Freeland's riding is Toronto's - University/Rosedale

Her riding has all the global players in it, and those execs/donors are the true controllers of this Lib gov.

Nothing Freeland does isn't first approved by those elites in her riding, and she kisses their feet 24/7

I am having a hard time finding any charges for @amyschumer involvement when more than 300 protesters, went to the US Capitol in Washington as they made a final appeal to senators to reject Brett Kavanaugh. Actually, I can't find any capitol breach charges.
I can't find any federal indictments on anyone.
We are not mad people being arrested inside the capitol building or the Hart Senate Office ?

THREAD: Powerful #AI like #ChatGPT is the talk of the town. As a #HinduAdvocacy organization, we checked to see how it frames responses on #Hinduism vs other faiths. The results are concerning and display deep #bias. Read on. 1/n 👇🏽
One of the 1st questions we tested a few days ago was “Is Hinduphobia real?” We found the #AI response to be biased and sending mixed messages, especially when compared to its clear measured responses to questions against #Antisemitism and #Islamophobia. 2/n
Next, jokes about Hindu deities or religious figures are deemed appropriate and apparently not disrespectful or offensive vs those about figures from other religions! Others like @KalavaiVenkat and @mairal have also highlighted this. 3/n

#US government, wishing to change the regime, asked and obtained from @elonmusk to activate Starlink internet in #Iran. #Washington will never give up on its old-usual practice to promote riots under the pretext of supporting "human rights" against those who reject its hegemony.
"In response to U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken's tweet" that the United States took action "to advance internet freedom and the free flow of information" to Iranians.

When someone comes from #Canada to fight with #Ukraine and greets a Russian tank (with a clear V sign) bombing a Ukrainian position in #Mariupol, you understand that western weapons and mercenaries won't change anything.

You are in Disney land in comparison to the hell of #Israel bombing of #Lebanon in 2006. But any US-Israeli savage wars are dismissed: #DoubleStandards.

The west won the propaganda war against #Russia in the first stage. In the second stage, its propaganda has been consumed and Russia was not intimidated by the western hostile narrative. Now Russian troops are advancing on many fronts. The west will be screaming for a ceasefire.

The Ukrainian leadership is challenging #Russia: Russia intercepted "at least two missiles fired from #Ukraine" over Belgorod. This is another level of Rule of Engagement that #Kyiv is trying to impose, bringing the war to another more critical level.

google.com/maps/place/Bel…
I believe, following the #US supply of lethal weapons to #Ukraine and #Russia's warning letter to #Washington, many lethal western weapons will find their way very quickly to the black market, mainly the Middle East.

thehill.com/policy/interna…
Western lethal weapons confiscated in #Ukraine can fire back against the #US troops. #Iraq and #Syria could be one of the places where the NATO provided weapons to #Ukraine might show up.

It is not to NATO's advantage to escalate. History is full of the boomerang effect.

I took an interview with "Talk with World Leaders" of Phoenix TV, and here is the link to the interview. china-embassy.org/dshd/202203/t2…
Whether China-US relations can return to the track of healthy and stable development depends on whether the US side can honor its commitments.
China and the US have maintained close communication on the #UkraineCrisis, and we have common understanding on realizing #ceasefire & peace and providing #HumanitarianAid. But we have different views on how to promote #peacetalks and realize lasting security in Europe.

Étant d'origine Russe, ayant de la famille sur place, j'en ai plus que marre du #RussianBashing des médias français, et des occidentaux moralisateurs en général. Que dirait les USA si la Russie allait installer des bases opérationnelle avancées au Mexique et à Cuba ? 1/2
De plus, n'oublions pas que les accords de Minsk ne concerne que les territoires de la Crimée et du Donbass. Les termes était l'arrêt de l'avancée des pro-russes au-delà de ces territoires. C'est ce qui a été fait. Poutine ne fait que reconnaître une république qui a déjà 8 ans.
Biden et les représentants de L'OTAN n'ont qu'à arrêter de prendre les gens pour des cons. N'avaient ils pas promis en 1989 de ne pas s'étendre en direction des frontières Russe ? Qui sème le vent, récolte la tempête.

As heart attacks, menstrual problems continue to surge, Indians have blamed gyming, unhealthy food, lack of sleep, cigarettes, stress, and alcohol for these issues. But one curious suspect has been conveniently vindicated. To know the real cause, follow me to the next tweet.
How should we establish the cause-effect relationship? We know that heart attacks and menstrual problems have risen significantly in the last 7-8 months. Have cigarettes, stress, unhealthy food been around only for 7-8 months? No. But something else is a more recent arrival.
It is what was injected into your deltoid (shoulder) muscle that is the real culprit. Don't believe me? No problem. I don't expect you to trust me at all. On the contrary, I want to encourage you to think and do your own research. So let me request you to find some answers.

One observation that was vry apparent while researching this article was abt how the gentrification of cannabis in lingerie designs also tells us a lot abt what we consider acceptable in terms of women's sexuality.
This fell outside of the article's scope but w product photos, u can c where the "slutty" line is drawn by contemporary society and how that's directly related to race/class. Dif ppl get dif lines #doublestandards
There are two major factors tht can buffer a woman frm the risks of being sexually objectified/subject to sexual violence: ytness (ideas of innocence, inherent value, &c) + class ($800 Louboutins are classed up stripper shoes which means the wearer is not a slut) ImageImage

Unity is first & foremost responsibility

Have you EVER seen a responsible #racist?

Americans view the unfolding events as internal affairs

They forgot - the US gov aggressively promoted globalization & insisted on being the leader of the "free world"

The world agreed & was rewarded with a shock

B4 #Trump, many "flaws" of the system were not obvious

#TraitorTrump exposed them all

- the system of C&B is dangerously unreliable
- human life is worthless

#Biden should've restored #RuleOfLaw b4 talking about unity - he put the cart b4 the horse

#JoeBiden's unity
- turned #racism into a political stance
- let #GOPTraitors off the hook
- reduced #RuleOfLaw to nothing
- "inspired" #CorruptGOP & it's base

Trying to make a list of all of the claims about #hypocrisy and #doublestandards I've seen this week. Let me know what I'm missing (1/6)

#CapitolRiot #BigTechCensorship #impeachment
(1) From the left: Law enforcement was much more severe toward BLM than toward the White supremacists at the Capitol riot. Alternatively phrased, if the rioters on Wednesday were BLM supporters / were POC, there would be many more wounded/dead/arrested. (2/6)
(2) From the right: When BLM protested/rioted/looted, Dems and the media claimed it's not violent to destruct property, but then when Trump supporters damaged property at the Capitol, suddenly it does count as violence. (3/6)

@comcast WHERE was your OUTRAGE when the so called "PEACEFUL PROTESTING" AKA 2020 RIOTING, was HAPPENING?
1-) At least the Capitol Building wasn't BURNING, (like many cities in 2020...) during in the DC break-in! The LAWMAKERS, MEDIA, & others who DOWNPLAYED the massive LOSSES of...
@comcast 2-) ...PORTLAND, & other CITIES in 2020, have no idea how the INNOCENT citizens of Portland, or other destructed cities, felt! EVERYTHING was going on around the citizens of PORTLAND!!! Their BUSINESSES were BURNING, & getting LOOTED, AND PEOPLE WERE getting MURDERED!!! ...
@comcast 3-) ...MEANWHILE the Portland Riots & others, happened for MONTHS!!! DC was stopped quickly in comparison, As a result, less people died, & less were hurt. We feel bad for those injured & the 4-5 people who died, we don't take that lightly, even ONE death is too many! ...

“If a picture is worth a thousand words a video is worth Billions.” #doublestandards #america #hypocrisy #whitesupremacy #racism #maga #domesticterrorism #trumptreason Tell the truth @attorneycrump 💥✊🏾.

In common parlance the term prima facie is used to describe the apparent
nature of something upon initial observation. In legal practice the term generally is used to describe two things: the presentation of sufficient evidence by a civil claimant to support the legal claim (a prima facie case), or a piece of evidence itself (prima facie evidence)
Evidence is clear. We have receipts.

2. ... a member of the public, look no further. The investigation was not even complete (and still isn't) when, within hours, @CalgaryPolice, presumably with the agreement of the Crown, laid 1st degree murder charges against the driver AND the passenger. #Cops and jail ...
3. ... guards were given special status by deeming murder to be 1st degree if they were the alleged victims but still the prosecution has to prove each of them intended to kill or meant to hurt him, knowing it would likely kill him & despite that acted recklessly. That's ...

Let’s try to clarify some misinterpretations of the Apple Judgment and its repercussions. Here goes my first thread /1
No, the @EUCourtPress has not given carte blanche to tax competition between Member States or to aggressive tax planning by companies. The Court makes clear the Commission can challenge these under State aid rules /2
Yes, the agreement between Ireland and Apple didn’t look great. But that is no reason to presume the existence of an advantage; if anything, it should make it easier to find the evidence establishing that such advantage exists /3
