As I told @isacnn on CNN yesterday: 5 US presidents - GOP and Democrat - propped up the regime of dictator Hosni #Mubarak during his 30yrs of stealing from, torturing and holding #Egypt captive. And today: Trump calls Sisi “my favourite dictator.” US foreign policy is fucked
My reflections on the death of longtime dictator of #Egypt #Hosni Mubarak. 5 US presidents knew exactly what his regime was doing to Egypt and propped him up
Support for “friendly” dictators is BIPARTISAN in the US.

If you’re a dictator who does the bidding of the US, you’re an ally, not a dictator, a friend, no matter the crimes you commit against your people.

“Bravo, pedophilia!” Adèle Haenel, star of Portrait of a Lady on Fire, and the film’s director Céline Sciamma walking out after child rapist Roman #Polanski won the best director award at the Césars, #France’s equivalent to the Oscars. h/t @alucarda

And here is Adèle Haenel waking out of the auditorium, waving her arm in disgust. It’s disgusting that the entire auditorium didn’t follow her out. h/t @aoifemrtn #Polanski #JaccusePolanski

“Shame on an industry that protects rapists.”

On Friday, #French police fired tear gas outside the #Paris concert hall hosting the César Film Awards in a clash with people protesting the director. nytimes.com/2020/02/28/mov…

What the actual fuck, #France? h/t @jessicamwiza #polanski
This is disgraceful and sickening #polanski
Polanski’s film “J’accuse” had the most nominations at the César Awards in Paris. He was not there to collect any of the prizes saying he feared a “public lynching” from protesters outside, angered at his links to child sexual abuse.

Judy Woodruff on surveillance of #NYC Muslims while he was mayor: But it wasn’t a religion that killed them.

Mike Bloomberg: No, but all of the people came from the same place. And all that came were from a place that happened to be the same religion.

At #DemDebates, Bloomberg has yet to be asked about surveillance of Muslims in NYC.

It’s a reminder of:
- shitty moderation

AND

- anti-Muslim sentiment & disregard for Muslim-American votes is bioartisan.
I understood long ago that I was way to the left of the Democratic Party so when I became a US citizen and was eligible to vote, I registered as an Independent.

I also understood that if the GOP are overtly Islamophobic, the Dems are not guiltless.

November 9, 1977: Egyptian President Anwar Sadat announces in the Egyptian Parliament that he is willing to go to Israel to speak to the Knesset, in search of peace.

#Israel
#Egypt
#Sadat
#Begin
#Peace
1/ The Yom Kippur War broke the “conception” (hakontseptzia) that Israel had of it being invincible to local challenges from its neighbours. Though Israel ultimately succeeded in its efforts during the YK War, the early Egyptian gains restored morale throughout the Arab world.
2/ Sadat was the Egyptian President of the Yom Kippur War, and became known as the “Hero of the Crossing” (of the Suez Canal). As a result of the outcome of the war, Israel recognized Egypt’s military strength and the US tried to bring Egyptians and Israelis to the peace table.

@StalinIsBack
1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.

 #QAnon

This thread relates to recent #Q posts and gives a big-picture explanation of the massive #Treason that #POTUS and #WhiteHats have been fighting. This almost led to a military #Coup against #Traitor44's regime.

Graphic below acts as a map to clarify key elements.
2/
 Many of the crucial components of the #Treason are contained w/in the "Shell Game" report compiled by #Patriot #ScottBennett. This was recently publicized on the internet, explained in this thread:
3/
 Ever wonder why #DEM AND #GOP leadership opposed #Trump w/such animus? #Flynn and #Trump knew about the level of #Corruption/#Treason involving the elite, on BOTH sides of the aisle. Trump would discover, reveal, and punish their crimes (#DrainTheSwamp).
