What #evidence do we have that there is something going on in #Ukraine? Is it just #FakeNews or a #CIA #conspiracy?

Please watch: https://nitter.eu/thehill/status/1489336004637044746

Reporter: “It’s an action that you say they have taken, but you have shown no evidence to confirm that. [...] This is like - #crisis actors? Really? This is like #AlexJones territory you’re getting into now.”

Spokesman: "If you doubt the credibility of the US government, of the British government, of other governments ..."

Why not trust the U.S. government unconditionally?

What Has Been Asserted Without Evidence May Be Dismissed Without Evidence

"Anything that’s been asserted without #evidence may be dismissed without evidence. It’s true of #arguments... and it’s especially true of claims coming from #governments that we know for a fact make #false #claims all the time."

Telling the #truth is an #obligation, and knowing how to tell it is an #art.

La magie pour moi c'est quand on accepte de lâcher nos jugements, notre masque social, notre rôle dans le théâtre de la vie, qu'on accepte d'être vulnérable, qu'on ouvre nos coeurs et nos sens, qu'on écoute notre corps, la nature qui fait miroir, nos evidences car nous savons déjà, et que nous suivons ce qui est présent là en nous pour nous transformer, faire de nouveaux choix et créer une autre réalité pour nous.

C'est pour ça que j'aime tant mon boulot et tous les merveilleux outils que j'ai à ma disposition, parce qu'ils créent les conditions pour que la magie opèrent.

Et pour toi, c'est quoi la magie?

A reminder - the consequences of political lies

While the corporate media has never taken a close look at this record, we can go through Powell’s presentation line by line to demonstrate the chasm between what he knew and what he told the world. As you’ll see, there’s quite a lot to say about it.

U.S. officials said a #Reaper #drone followed a car for hours and then fired based on #evidence it was carrying explosives. But in-depth video #analysis and interviews at the site cast doubt on that account.

The evidence suggests that his travels that day actually involved transporting colleagues to and from work. And an analysis of video feeds showed that what the military may have seen was Mr. #Ahmadi and a colleague loading canisters of water into his trunk to bring home to his family.

While the U.S. military said the drone strike might have killed three civilians, Times reporting shows that it killed 10, including seven children, in a dense residential block.

We really need to do better.
“There have been 170,852 total hospital admissions among thirty somethings from the beginning of August to August 11. From the week of July 29-August 4 to the week of August 5-August 11, the seven-day average of admissions jumped from 908 to 1113. In the words of Ron Burgundy from the 2004 movie Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, “Boy, that escalated quickly”
(…)
“Vaccination rates are probably playing a role as well. According to CDC data, as of August 15, less than half (49.9%) of those 20 to 39 years of age have been fully vaccinated. Compare that 59.1% of 40 somethings, 68.4% of those in the 50-to-64 year age range, 82.6% in the 65-to-74 age range, and 78.3% in the 75-plus age range. That’s going to leave quite a few thirty somethings as risk for not only catching the virus but having worse Covid-19 outcomes.”

IPCC Sixth Assessment Report ~ 09August2021

' #Climatechange includes both #global #warming driven by #human-induced #emissions of #greenhouse #gases and the resulting large-scale #shifts in #weather #patterns.'
According to the new #IntergovernmentalPanelOnClimateChange #IPCC #climatereport, the #carbon #budget that gives us the best odds of staying below 1,5°C runs out in less than 5 and a half years at our current #emissions rate. The new report contains no real surprises. It confirms what we already know from thousands of previous studies and reports - that we are in an #emergency. It’s a solid (but cautious) #summary of the current best available science. It doesn't tell us what to do. It is up to us to be brave and take decisions based on the #scientific #evidence provided in these reports. We can still avoid the worst #consequences, but not if we continue like today, and not without treating the #crisis like a crisis.

#Police Are Telling ShotSpotter to Alter #Evidence From #Gunshot -Detecting #AI

But after the 11:46 p.m. alert came in, a ShotSpotter analyst manually overrode the algorithms and “reclassified” the sound as a gunshot. Then, months later and after “post-processing,” another ShotSpotter analyst changed the alert’s coordinates to a location on South Stony Island Drive near where Williams’ car was seen on camera.
