WATCH🚹- Senator Joe #Biden aggressively advocates for bombing 12-year-old Novak Djokovic.

Biden strongly supported bombing #Yugoslavia in #1999 without United Nations approval.

#Djokovic, who was 12 at the time, remembers how scary it was when Biden's bombs hit his home.

"My dad was carrying my brothers, and my mom was running with stuff, and I slipped, and I fell."

"As I turned around, I looked over the building, and I saw these stealth planes just flying and dropping things, and the ground was shaking."

"That's one of the most traumatic experiences and images in my childhood that stayed with me to this day."

In 1999, #NATO bombed Yugoslavia for 78 days without approval from the United Nations, dropping more than 28,000 bombs, including depleted uranium and cluster munitions, killing over 2000 civilians and displacing more than 250,000 people.

#NATO destroyed:
-25,000 residential buildings
-595 kilometers railroads
-470 kilometers roads
-44 bridges
-14 airports
-19 hospitals
-69 schools
-18 kindergartens
-176 cultural monuments

Senator Joe Biden criticized NATO for not being ruthless enough and suggested a harsher "Japanese German-style occupation."

If you look at every modern American war or conflict, from Yugoslavia to #Iraq, #Afghanistan, #Libya, #Syria, #Yemen, #Ukraine, or #Gaza, you'll find President Joe Biden's bloody fingerprints directly involved in increasing the bloodshed.

Supporting Joe Biden means supporting a never-ending cycle of war and a continuous flow of bloodshed.

#research on the domain name "x.com"
enter image description here
X.com was an online #bank co-founded by #ElonMusk, Harris Fricker, Christopher Payne, and Ed Ho in #1999 in Palo Alto. In June 2001, #X . COM was renamed PayPal.

The domain was first registered by a guy named "Rob Walker" he worked at netscape - the domain was then later "1996?" sold (to Musk?)

The Washington Post just released an article that explains the relationship with "x.com" and "paypal".

Despite his failure to rebrand PayPal into X.com, Musk never gave up hope for his favorite letter. In 2017, he thanked PayPal for letting him buy back the domain name that some confused for adult content and was partially responsible for his ouster at the company.

“No plans right now,” he said at the time, “but it has great sentimental value to me.”

" Loka samasta sukhino bhavantu / May all beings in all worlds be happy and free and may the thoughts, words and actions of my own life contribute in some way to that happiness and to that freedom for all "

Reality check: Microsoft, David Bowie, Bill Gates, and a creepy video game called ‘Omikron’

Omikron: The Nomad Soul. (Image via Steam)

Yes, there was a game called Omikron: The Nomad Soul, starring a virtual David Bowie, released in 1999 for Microsoft Windows. No, the game was not made by Microsoft. Saying that Bill Gates had anything to do with it is like calling Apple CEO Tim Cook the mastermind behind Facebook because the social network runs on iPhone.

Call me a puppet if you will, but chalk it up as another off-the-mark COVID-19 conspiracy theory involving the Microsoft co-founder.

The adventure game, made by French developer Quantic Dream and published by Edios Interactive (now Square Enix), is getting lots of attention this week due to the rise of the Omicron variant, as you might imagine.

Fueling the conspiracy theories are the game’s underlying themes and anti-government plot, as illustrated by Bowie’s character in this Omikron clip.

I’ll just leave this nice little video game. It came out in 1999. Voice is David Bowie.

“Wake up, people of Omikron,” Bowie’s character says, warning that they’re being turned into government puppets. “Join the awakened ones, and rise up to fight for your freedom. Together we can win.”

If you haven’t encountered a Quantic Dream title before, games journalist Thomas Wilde explains that the studio “went on to make some of the weirder games of the next few generations: Indigo Prophecy, Heavy Rain, Detroit: Become Human.” The studio “loves narrative, nudity, and frankly, incredible pretension,” he notes.

Omikron: The Nomad Soul came out for Dreamcast a year after its Windows debut.

As luck would have it, Omikron is available to this day on Steam. As part of my due diligence, I bought the game this morning, and I’m playing it now. Maybe I should schedule a COVID test for later today, just in case.
