Seems the security guard who firebombed & shot up Edmonton City Hall on Tuesday posted a video beforehand saying "this genocide that’s going on in Gaza and throughout the world... inshallah, we will rise against you guys." No mention of this in the Globe. theglobeandmail.com/canada/alberta…
Max Krangle spent 12 years working as a lawyer for Big Tobacco companies, including RJ Reynolds.
He gave me a fascinating interview in which he shared some insights about smoking that were new to me.
For example...🧵
I had no idea that the tobacco industry is much more profitable now than before the war on smoking.
This is not because of vaping... 2/x
It's because of regulations.
Every year, the sin taxes on smokes go up. And whenever they do, the cigarette companies piggyback on the tax hike with a little extra profit for themselves. 3/x
Are you active in pro-Palestine/ceasefire/BDS protests?
Do you reject accusations of antisemitism in your movement?
I really want to talk to you. 🧵
First, a promise: I have no intention of trying to convince you that anti-Zionism is antisemitism. I don't believe that it de facto is. I think it's entirely ok to criticize (or to oppose, or even to denounce) the government of Israel, and that doesn't make you anti-Jew. 2/x
I actually don't want to talk to you about Israel/Palestine at all.
I want to talk to you about your own society, here in Canada. 3/x
Important stories go unreported. So we try to fill in the gaps. Like the mystery brain disease in New Brunswick.
It's worse than you were told. 1/x 🧵
Whatever this is, it's horrible. It strikes young and old. Neurological symptoms that get worse and worse. Patients can't remember how to write, they lose mobility, they hallucinate. Eventually, many have died. At first, the authorities tried to solve it. 2/x
They announced a "cluster" of 47 patients, and struck provincial and federal task forces of scientists to investigate it. Then, in May 2022, they called the whole thing off. They said there was no mystery disease. The news coverage all but stopped. 3/x
Interesting and scary: this sweetheart here is telling the world that PIERRE POILIEVRE'S WIFE IS THE SECRET FORMER CEO OF (Covid-tester) SWITCH HEALTH!!! It's bullshit, easy to disprove & impossible to confirm, so of course it's going viral. Nothing new so far. But check this..🧵
..he says he learned this shocking truth via ChatGPT(!) It spat out an article citing Anaida Poilievre as the former Switch Health CEO (lol) so he asked the AI to provide source links. And it did! It linked to posts about Switch CEO Anaida from Forbes, CTV, & a press release! 2/x
Of course, none of the links work. Which our guy takes as proof that the INTERNET HAS BEEN SCRUBBED by our political overlords.
