Banana Republic USA

When the leading #opposition #candidate is repeatedly charged with made-up crimes, you know a country has neither the rule of #law or a #legitimate #democracy.

Former President #DonaldTrump’s legal woes deepened after he was hit with federal criminal charges linked to his attempts to cling to power after losing the 2020 election. Trump is facing four counts including #conspiracy to defraud the U.S. government and obstruct the electoral count for trying to overturn the 2020 election. The 45-page indictment says he was ‘determined to remain in power’ despite ‘having lost.’

Special Counsel Jack Smith said in a televised public statement following the release of the indictment that the attack on the Capitol was ‘fueled by lies’ made by Trump ‘targeted at obstructing the bedrock function of the U.S. government – the nation’s process of collecting, counting and certifying the results of the presidential election.’ He pledged that his office will conduct a ‘speedy’ trial.

The former president has been summoned to appear before U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan – an Obama appointee – on Thursday in Washington, D.C. There are also six unnamed alleged co-conspirators according to the indictment.

Trump and his co-conspirators ‘used knowingly false claims of election fraud’ to try to ‘subvert the legitimate election results and change electoral votes’ for Joe Biden, according to the indictment.

So, the #Establishment committed #electoral #fraud in order to put a #fake #President into office, then criminalized anyone pointing out that they did what they observably did.

Sounds legit.

The absurd thing is the fact that the only thing the #USA really had going for it vis-a-vis the challenges posed by #China and #Russia was the perception of it holding the moral high ground with regards to “freedom and democracy”. But the perceived moral high ground has now gone the way of its European majority and its industrial capacity.

Enjoy the #show. It’s unusual to have the chance to witness a #global #empire in the process of #collapsing.

Here's a "re-broadcast" of a lovely Randy Rainbow parody, reminded of this due to the speculation about who may.... flip.
Accent on the... "flip!" and also the Cuckoo! 🤪

The Donald Trump CELL BLOCK TANGO (Part One)

A little jailhouse tango! 🎶

Mueller only hinted at what could/should be #justice. But the mountain of #truth coming out, plus indictments....
Just a matter of time and we'll know who's not on the bus any more, either thrown under, &/or a "cooperating witness".

I've not seen this since Mueller Time. It's still fun... Maybe more so, as hope is allowed a rare appearance. As we make our popcorn,

#sedition #espionage #treason #conspiracy #indictment #TrumpVirus #collusion #emoluments .... crime like nobody's ever seen before. Terrific. Perfect, really. And with all the best words. And colors (especially orange, prison orange... so prescient!)

Shutting down the right-wing rabbit hole is possible: First, follow the money

"The end goal is to make young people engage with and stay on the platforms as long as possible, because that means they can sell more advertising," lawyers for the Cabrillo Unified School District in Northern California argue in a district court lawsuit filed in May. "The YouTube, TikTok, Snap and Meta companies have learned that this is best accomplished by catering an endless flow of the lowest common denominator of content that is most provocative and toxic that they can get away with."

That's exactly the kind of content that Facebook's algorithms have favored, according to Frances Haugen. "When you give more distribution to content that can get reactions," she said in a recent MSNBC interview, "you end up rewarding more extreme content. Because the shortest path to 'like' is anger."

As the complaint in the California parents lawsuit argues, the issue is not the existence of social media but the companies' reliance on an "algorithmically-generated, endless feed to keep users scrolling in an induced 'flow state'; 'intermittent variable rewards' that manipulate dopamine delivery to intensify use; 'trophies' to reward extreme usage" and other features that keep people overstimulated and unable or unwilling to log off.

Those who failed in almost every analysis of the situation in Russia, now comes conspiracy theories!

Never trust those Russians, "I'm telling you, they are up to something" as the farmer of Chicken Run used to say.

Don't know if I should laugh of facepalm. This is whole new level of fear mongering hiding the colossal failure in analyzing the situation in Russia.

If true, then it means a lot of things about the history and the future.

Were they trying to weaponize COVID? Or it was just a general research? This opens up for a whole new tree of conspiracies.#COVID19 #WUHAN #Paitient0 #Conspiracy #China #US

Potential Covid Patient Zero Linked to U.S.-Funded Research in Wuhan

One of the first Wuhan researchers reportedly sickened with Covid in fall 2019, Ben Hu, was getting U.S. financial support for risky gain-of-function research on coronaviruses, according to documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request by the transparency advocacy organization White Coat Waste Project.

Tennessee!

Last week, Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton (R) announced that he had appointed Laurie Cardoza-Moore to serve on the Tennessee Standards Recommendation Committee to oversee “Social Studies materials being reviewed for use in classrooms statewide.” Cardoza-Moore, known for holding extremist views and promoting conspiracy theories, has called "U.S. history textbooks" currently used in classrooms the "greatest national security threat to the United States."

Probleme mit #Getreide

Der polnische Ministerpräsident Mateusz Morawiecki erklärte, die polnische Regierung beabsichtige, bei der EU-Kommission das Problem des in Osteuropa verbliebenen ukrainischen Getreides anzusprechen. Ihm zufolge „sollte dieses Getreide, wie von der EU-Kommission versprochen, nach Afrika und in den Nahen Osten gehen, aber technische Unzulänglichkeiten und Untätigkeit haben dazu geführt, dass ein Teil dieses Getreides sowie andere landwirtschaftliche Erzeugnisse zurückgeblieben sind, was zu einem #Preisverfall bei den [lokalen] Landwirten geführt hat.“

Eine gute Gelegenheit, billiges Getreide zu kaufen.

Bayer Monsanto, Cargill and Dupont have bought nearly 17 million hectares of agricultural land in Ukraine. That is about 60% of the available arable land in the country.

This one is a keeper. Not much more than half an hour and you will be more educated on crucial history than 99.99% of people - on WHY we are where we are in the world.

Having a #conspiracy theory is not that different from having a #crime theory ... so who exactly benefits if certain crime theories are not further investigated and systematically downplayed & marginalized?

  • If a conspiracy is (partly) in the open does NOT make it any less #criminal nor less #harmful ...
