In addition to what’s already been sent, Biden is seeking ~5% of the total US military budget to prop up Ukraine’s war effort just thru September. We are already at war w/Russia, and when Russia retaliates it will be portrayed as irrational & unprovoked. reuters.com/world/biden-lo…
Thousands of US & NATO “advisers” and mercenaries began flooding into Ukraine immediately after the 2014 coup, even as neo-Nazi militias allied to the government were kidnapping, torturing, and murdering hundreds of people all over the country.
In January 2017, Lindsey Graham & McCain visited Ukraine to promise that 2017 would be the “year of offense” (against the people of Donbas). Later that year, they used pressure from RussiaGate to get Trump to send heavy weapons to Ukraine for the purpose.
Immediately after the coup and while Kiev was shelling and massacring thousands of Donbas civilians, NATO announced Ukraine would be integrated into training & interoperability exercises, and be modernized to NATO standards. nato.int/cps/en/natohq/…
Obama, to his credit, opposed escalating the secret US war w/Russia past a certain point, so NATO generals and officials in his own administration sought to “leverage, cajole, convince, or coerce the US to react.” theintercept.com/2016/07/01/nat…
Germany and others frequently complained that the peace process, including implementation of the Minsk Agreements, was constantly blocked by the US. spiegel.de/international/… Image
There has been some mystery around how Ukraine targeted the Russian ship Moskva w/missiles. The ship was well over the horizon, and the low-flying Neptunes need external guidance from aircraft to get there. No Ukrainian planes were flying at the time, but: dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1… Image

***New Martyr Made Substack episode***
Interview w/@lukeburgis, author of Wanting: The Power of Mimetic Desire in Everyday Life. We discuss Rene Girard, Nietzsche and Dostoevsky, scapegoating, and how technology accelerates mimetic conflict. Enjoy! martyrmade.substack.com/p/interview-wl…
@lukeburgis With this episode in the rearview, I am going to now focus 100% full-time on finishing up the first episode of the next Martyr Made history series. For the next 1.5-2 weeks I'll be buried in my cave doing that (in case I drop off the earth). It's a banger, so stand by.
@lukeburgis Check out Luke’s Substack for more read.lukeburgis.com

Epstein is a counterpoint to the libertarian economic argument that self-interested agents will self-regulate to preserve reputation, long-term viability, etc. He shows that, as long as you make your $, you can rape kids and still kick it w/Bill Gates and have a Harvard office.
A society with the kind of culture that can sustain libertarianism is a society that has no need for libertarianism.
Using Epstein as an example seems to have muddied the point, since his crimes are universally illegal. Instead, ask yourself: Do any of the finance execs who destroyed our economy, and the lives of millions, in 2008 regret their actions? Is there any incentive not to do it again?

Ghost of Kyiv & Snake Island had precedents: In 2014, the Maidan protests escalated when AutoMaidan leader Dmitry Bulatov claimed to have been kidnapped & tortured by govt thugs, just a month after a female protest leader suffered the same. Both were later confirmed as hoaxes.
At least 2 of the first 3 killings at Maidan were admitted by a Ukrainian nationalist leader to have been carried out by Right Sector as a false flag. The “snipers’ massacre” that precipitated the February coup was determined by forensic studies to have also been a false flag.
Such actions are easy to pull off when Western leaders and media collude to push the story. Who is going to contradict it? Only “Russian shills”, who get banned when their platform begins to affect the narrative.

Same w/Iliad: Broken marriage contract, king fails to distribute spoils in accordance w/custom, dispute resolution system breaks down, warrior refuses to fight for his lord.. Failure to meet obligations at the root of all the death. Achilles’ shield shows a wedding, a law case..
"Acceptance, humility... letting go of anger..." The Achaeans would have had no idea what you were even talking about. Not everything is the Bible, even if there are common points.
Hector's death was the result of his brother & Helen violating her oath to Menalaus. But you're partly right: By the time of Hector's death, the customs and institutions had broken down, to the point that Achilles' victory is followed by corpse abuse and human sacrifice.

Do not back off the word 'groomer.' When you drill down, these people always end up defending policies designed to sexualize children, so shove 'groomer' down their throats. They celebrate and sell this to warp the minds of vulnerable children.
Reposted without the most offensive picture, which someone suggested might actually be illegal - although it is in magazines and on websites, and for the enemy to admit its illegality would require them to admit a lot more about their position.
Please. They're not even dressing him up as a little girl, but as a sexualized grown woman.

The best reform Twitter could enact would be to give a blue check to anyone who verifies their identity. The artificial aristocracy of the blue check is one of the ways they amplify and confer legitimacy on certain discourse. @elonmusk
@elonmusk One benefit would be that users could set a filter to only interact w/other verified users speaking in their own name, while still allowing anonymous accounts for those who want to play in the jungle.
@elonmusk Guarantee this guy still gets a dopamine boost when some blue check likes his comment. Twitter knows this, and that's the point.
