Keep in mind that Matt Shea wrote “a ‘how to’ manual consistent with the ideology and operating philosophy of the Christian Identity/Aryan Nations movement and the Redoubt movement of the 1990” lawandcrime.com/politics/if-th…
“Muslims, journalists & critics ... are ‘supporting tyranny’ if they don’t support his view that the United States is ‘a Christian nation.’ Critics fear that Shea, an Army combat veteran, has begun employing that same principle to justify violence” theolympian.com/news/politics-…

Pro Israel Magen Am or “protector of the nation” is private security for Jewish communities. It began in LA but has spread to AZ. At the beginning the organization offered its services free of charge #UCLAProtest @TinaDesireeBerg 1/7forward.com/news/470196/la…
The head of Magen Am is Rabbi Yossi (Yossi Eilfort) a Chabad affiliated rabbi, MMA fighter, rent-a-cop, and NRA instructor who earns $142k salary for his noble work 3/7
Is forcing people back to work while they are sick really good policy @CDC? That is what doing away with COVID-19 isolation recommendations has accomplished🧵 1/20
In the short term employers have warm bodies to fill jobs & they save on sick pay, but in the long term an already beleagured population that has suffered numerous covid infections is being pushed to the brink 2/20
COVID-19 is still in the top 10 leading causes of death in the United States. Both the flu and RSV aren’t in the top ten. @CDC’s purposeful minimization of the risks of COVID-19 in both the short term & the long term will backfire spectacularly 3/20 salon.com/2024/03/06/not…
Aside from Blinken’s ability to arbitrarily declare an “emergency” allowing him to bypass the Arms Export Control Act (ordinarily Congressional oversight is required) & do things like expedite 14K tank rounds to Israel, there’s the US weapons “stockpile” in Israel issue 🧵1/16
Billions of dollars worth of US military equipment sits in closely guarded warehouses in Israel. Supposedly it is for US use in the event that war breaks out in MENA, but the Israelis have been permitted to access & use it in “emergencies” 2/16
“Israel now appears to be receiving munitions from the stockpile in significant quantities for use in its war on Gaza, yet there has been little transparency about transfers from the arsenal” 3/16theguardian.com/world/2023/dec…
Regardless of whether the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic was a naturally occurring transmission from animal host to human (zoonosis) or a lab leak from a facility conducting gain of function research, it is a ticking time bomb that affects all of us
Popular sentiment (“it’s just a cold”) is driven by both human nature & propaganda. @JohnSnowProject recently published information about the big picture, explaining in detail that a COVID infection has both an acute (immediate) phase & a chronic phase johnsnowproject.org/insights/a-new…
When some people catch the virus (the acute phase) they may not have any symptoms at all, or they may have the “just a cold” experience. Others, especially those who are immunocompromised or who have other health conditions, may have more serious outcomes.
Instead of facing the dock at The Hague, Douglas Feith & the rest of the neocons who destroyed Iraq for no reason continue operate in & around the center of US power militarist-monitor.org/profile/dougla…
In the wake of 9/11, Douglas Feith was Undersecretary of Defense for Policy. Here’s just a bit of what then CIA Director George Tenet had to say about him
The US Congress’ revival of FDR’s Lend-Lease idea has been lauded by Democratic Party luminaries like Paul Krugman nytimes.com/2022/04/28/opi… To understand what this REALLY means, it’s necessary to push larger than life WWII mythology aside & look at the facts
Lend-Lease as originally conceived by US Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau Jr. was more than simply assisting the British war effort financially. Its ultimate aim was “postwar planning in wartime.” The indebtedness created by Lend-Lease gave the US power over the British empire
Morgenthau worked actively to shift financial power from New York & London to Washington. “The dollar would become the instrument of a global ‘New Deal,’ permitting more socially enlightened management. This would require ‘American financial hegemony…’
