Rewatching Adesanya vs Whittaker 2. So far:
Rd 1 - Izzy 10-9
Rd 2 - Rob 10-9 (and not particularly close)
#UFC271
Rd 3 - Izzy 10-9 due to landing a couple more shots in a basically even round
Rd 4 - 10-9 Whittaker. He took Izzy down, took his back, threatened a choke, popped his head back 4-5x, while absorbing nothing but a couple calf kicks and glancing blows.

Honestly, I don’t see how anyone scores this worse than 2-2 for Rob thru 4 rounds.
Rd 5 - Whittaker 10-9, not that close.

Hard to call such a close fight a robbery, but Rob won either 3 or 4 rounds of this fight. Landed 80% of the meaningful shots after round 1. FWIW, all 3 Sherdog judges gave Rob rounds 4 & 5, and 2 of them gave him round 2 (& the win). Image

Malcolm X told you 60 years ago: The white liberal’s concern for black people is abstract, performative. The black people to the white liberal is as a moral bludgeon to wield against white conservatives, and they attack any black person who refuses to play along.
If the lives of black people actually improved, they would vote on issues like tax policy, national security, immigration - and inevitable veer in the direction of partisan parity - therefore the lives of black people must not improve.
If Latinos assimilate, they will vote on education, taxes, and social issues - rather than ethnic identity - and inevitable veer toward partisan parity, therefore Latinos must not assimilate (we’re told assimilation is “cultural genocide”, “selling out”, etc.)

"Social" Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy. MSBP refers to a situation when a parent or caregiver invents or induces an illness in a person under care. They do it for attention & sympathy (so brave taking care of a sick child...), and to maintain their charge's dependency on them. /1
Turns out 98% of MSBP abusers are women, for some obvious reasons, some prob hidden. Obvious: more female caregivers, mothers more often home with kids, etc. Hidden: to explain a number like 98%, it's necessary to consider differences in constitution/situation between genders. /2
100 years ago, political & economic decisions were almost entirely in the hands of men, and both realms exhibited the excesses of the gender: insensitivity to suffering, competitiveness, intolerance of failure. What have been the real effects of bringing women into the process?/3

So:
1. The Ashley Biden diary possessed by Project Veritas is real.
2. The Biden admin put the FBI on PJ despite no evidence of a crime.
3. In the diary, Ashley Biden says she was hyper-sexualized at a young age, thinks she was molested, shows discomfort about showers w/her dad.
So this, Hunter’s global crack-addicted sexcapades, sleeping w/his brother’s widow weeks after his death and the two becoming crack addicts together, and of course the clear evidence of corruption…

If the media was only about sensationalism, they’d be all over this family.
I was careful to restrict my statements to things that are no longer in question.

Heroin came from Indochina in the 60s & 70s, when the CIA had a heavy presence there.

Production moved to Afghanistan in the 80s, when the CIA had a heavy presence there.

Cocaine smuggling thru Central America exploded in the 80s, when the CIA had heavy presence there.

The Panama branch of the Bank of Credit & Commerce Int’l, the notorious CIA-connected drug money laundering outfit, was a conduit for CIA money to Manuel Noriega, who provided weapons & $ to the contras. All the major Colombian drug lords had accounts at BCCI, too.
The president of the Panama City branch of BCCI was the son of the head of Pakistani intel (ISI), which was overseeing distribution of the heroin trade out of Afghanistan at the time (and funneling drug money back to the mujahadeen fighters).

I watched Stone’s new JFK Revisited last night. A few thoughts.

Thread. (Short, probably.)
The hard thing about the JFK assassination is that plausible theories proliferate because so many people had reasons to want him dead. The mob. Castro. Anti-Castro Cubans. Dulles & the CIA. Even the Zionists. Other than innuendo about Dulles, the film doesn’t explore these. /1
It may be for the better. You can get sucked down any of these rabbit holes long enough to fill a movie. Stone’s documentary isn’t about finding the killer, but making the case that the official story is a lie, and that the Warren Commission a cover-up. This it does very well. /2

Martyr Made Book Club starting after the New Year. Which book should we start with? Vote in the comments section on Substack (reply votes here don’t count): martyrmade.substack.com/p/martyr-made-… ImageImageImageImage
I will put out a weekly podcast in which I’ll read important passages from that week’s chapter(s), as well as more frequent written posts on the material covered.
If your book choice gets outvoted, don’t worry. I’m sure we’ll get to all of them eventually.
