The U.S. has begun federal executions of inmates again.

1) At least 4% of those executed are completely innocent.

2) A much larger percentage than that are severely mentally ill.
3) The #1 determinant of whether someone gets executed is the race of the victim - meaning it "matters" much more if you kill a white person.

4) The chemicals used to kill people have to be secretly collected by our gov't because most nations & companies refuse to make them.
5) Many justify the death penalty by saying "an eye for an eye," but that is not how our legal system has ever worked. If someone steals your eye, the court never sentences them to lose their eye.
6) The first electric chair was funded by Thomas Edison in order to make people horrified of alternating current (the competitor to his direct current).

7) It had the reverse effect. People simply ended up being terrified of electricity - they didn't care which kind of current.
Once you know the facts, there's no justification of capital punishment. It's a barbaric, animalistic, Medieval practice that has been banned in most countries.

The Dirty Truth About The Pentagon - a 🧵of 💘.

➡️ The US spends more on military than the next 10 countries combined.
➡️The US also spends more on military than the bottom 170 countries COMBINED.
➡️The US spends over $1 Trillion a year on military, war & intelligence.
➡️If you make $60,000 a year (after taxes), to make $1 Trillion you'd have to work for over 16 MILLION years.
➡️But the US government doesn't actually know where all that money goes.
➡️The Pentagon has failed 6 straight audits and has NEVER passed one.
➡️In their last audit they said they can't account for 63% of all their assets.
➡️They literally don't know where A LOT of their weapons, vehicles & even BUILDINGS are! (Yes, they somehow lose buildings.)

One thing you’ll certainly never hear from the mainstream media is that the U.S. government has an impressively prodigious history of using the American people as lab rats. This has gone on for decades. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
As Business Insider reported,“On September 20, 1950, a US Navy ship off the coast of San Francisco used a giant hose to spray microbes into the air & into the city’s fog. The military was testing how a biological weapon attack would affect the 800,000 residents of the city.”
That's right, the US navy perpetrated a biological attack on American citizens to find out what would happen in the event of a biological attack on American citizens.

Absolutely disgusting to see Biden's DOJ indict 4 Americans who are members of the African People's Socialist Party under the same BS Russiagate garbage that has been proven false for 6 years. Even the DOJ admits they're charging them for "weaponized free speech." Image
Even if the allegations were TRUE (they're not), this still amounts to the US government arresting & indicting people for speaking in a manner the government didn't like. Hmmm, coulda sworn there was something about "freedom of speech" in some sort of document.
Some will say this is a slippery slope but it's a full-on avalanche. This is literally the ruling elite imprisoning those who don't repeat their propaganda.

An analysis of police reports broke down how much time they spend on each different crime or situation. 99% of everything US police do could be done by other (unarmed) types of jobs.
Here's what police do with their time: 🧵1/9
Well most police time is spent standing around (or sitting around) so let's begin by replacing that. But even if we ignore that time, the vast majority of what cops do is meaningless. 2/9
Nearly 25% of police time is spent on "unfounded radio calls." Most of that is due to social engineering telling us police will solve all our problems from a loud neighbor to a surly raccoon. We could change the cultural understanding of what cops are & get rid of these calls 3/9

While American officials keep touting the "rules-based international order," the truth is the US is absolutely a rogue nation. We are out of line with the global community in just about every way that matters. 🧵
On the UN vote declaring food a human right, the vote was 180 to 2. Only the US and Israel believe people do not have a right to avoid starving to death. We throw out 40% of all food in the US but we deny food should be a right.
The US was one of the very few countries that refused to ratify the UN Convention on Rights of the Disabled. We said it "eroded US sovereignty." Apparently the US gov't didn't want anyone stopping them from abusing the disabled.

One of the most censored stories of last year is that NATO has said publicly they'd like to make "the human brain" the next domain of war. 🧵
The NATO Association of Canada said during a panel discussion that the "weaponization of brain sciences" would be used to exploit "vulnerabilities of the human brain." Of course ruling our minds is nothing new to the Military Industrial Complex. 2/6
One of the most notorious programs was MKUltra — a top secret CIA project in which they experimented with controlling minds through the use of various drugs & psychological torture. Many of those tested upon were unaware. 3/6
