‘Magical thinking’: Biden's unrealistic and misguided greenwashing continues to raise concern, even in the most progressive think tanks

Yeah, he was especially good at reaching out to gay teens and giving them actual advice and not just telling that they’re fierce. He was always realistic, I recall numerous times him telling a teen who had written in or called that whilst they were under-18/living with their parents/at college funded by parents, if their parents were anti-gay, just tone that shit down until you can get out on your own. Also, telling them to give their parents a chance and time to get used to things.

His “it gets better” campaign to cut teen gay suicide was rather clever and I believe even the Obamas did a video for it.

I had time for him. But the selling out really made me feel that he could no longer be trusted to be unfiltered (he was always giving harsh truths, especially about some of the deranged kinks and practices some people were doing) but if he was going to pass everything through a woke filter then he was no different than every other progressive outlet.

I kinda agree, it does seem like a half-ass solution, at least as far as explained here. But I'm not sure I agree people who download pictures are "true criminals". I think the true criminals are the people who made them (assuming they weren't self-made). If the goal is to focus more on CP producers and less on people who just have the pictures, that would certainly be a good thing in my opinion. But on the other hand, I'm aware of the practical justification for possession being illegal, which is primarily to destroy the market for commercial production. I suppose there's some doubt about whether a misdemeanor still adequately accomplishes that goal.

This is what “tolerance” has wrought.

They’re going to legalize kid fucking. It’s only a matter of time.

You know why this is true? Because members of a “pro pedo activist group”, who surely have names and addresses, feel safe operating in the open. Which means they are a protected class. And all western governments exist do the bidding of protected classes.

AriShekelsteinDDS · 2024-05-21T22:02:26+00:00

“Only with parental approval”

Let’s see how long that lasts.

This is insane. They’re going into schools to troon out kids. This is literally the type of shit we were all told would never happen and that we were being paranoid for even suggesting that the whole endgame was going after kids.

Then again, what’s to stop them? In saner times, people who talked about doing shit to kids were dragged off in cuffs or taken for a car ride somewhere and were never seen again.

Now they operate in the open and cry about being afraid if you merely criticize them.

I generally agree. His entire brand was about not giving a shit and trolling people who were irrational about gay shit. But also his entire brand only exists if he can avoid being cancelled. His type of personality is why i found gay men to be more entertaining in the past. There was a very strong "fuck your feelings I'm not hurting you by existing" vibe back then.

He's not wrong though.

At least at some level, the access to firearms and ammunition - and a vehicle, and a vehicle license, are things that he got from his parents.

But really, for the same reasons that legislature and executive offices and the judges and attorneys should be in prison.

The quality never dropped, he was/is phenomenally entertaining, but he was definitely on the sex positive/don’t kink shame side but I felt when he got called out for his use of the word tranny (he used it a lot in his podcast iirc…and he only ever used to refer to transvestites never transgenders) that he had caved and couldn’t continue listening to him. I’d lost respect for him as he had never given a fuck about anyone complaining before. I can’t tolerate sell outs.

He was never what I would consider woke, he was tolerable progressive, who seemed to just genuinely want people to be happier in their sex lives (and some hard truths too).

It's interesting that I agree with this part of the article below, because current Saudi Arabia must not be beholden to the CIA like they were in 2001, because they killed the cia spy khassogi in 2018. In 2001 they provided a patsy in bin Laden. I do not think they would do that today, even though that 2003 Iraq war helped them because saddam Hussein was their enemy, I think they learned that USA having permanent bases next door is worse, and the cia tries to start Arab springs to coup them.

"Should we now invade Saudi Arabia? The answer is no. The Saudi Arabia of 2001 no longer exists. The country is still capable of criminal action; witness the case of the journalist Jamal Khashoggi, victim in 2018 of a team of Saudi murderers in Istanbul. But the Islamic extremism that coursed through central institutions of the Saudi state appears to have been largely exorcised. Few countries in the world have been so consistently misunderstood by the U.S. as Saudi Arabia, though, so that judgment is necessarily a provisional one."

Sure, and indeed, almost every single one of the alleged hijackers of 9-11 was Saudi.

But, 'The Saudis did it!' explanation might also be yet another attempt at misdirection, to finally appease the 9/11 families.

Nobody believes the original narrative, it seems, namely that Osama bin Laden, an Arab cave-dwelling religious fanatic, could muster the superior technological know-how, extensive resources and precise coordination required to pull off the complexity of the simultaneous 9-11 operations.

In any case:

I know that theory. What they found was a little bit of Tritium (Hydrogen with 2 neutrons). And a whole theory was developed around it.

Tritium glows. It is legally used in self-illuminated exit-signs. Buy here. And it is safer than radium, which was used to illuminate old clocks.

The mini-nuke theory is that this tritium was part of an atomic bomb. But it is missing all other elements. And the hydrogen-bomb needs to be started with a normal Uranium (or Plutonium) based atomic bomb. A nuclear reaction also causes gamma-rays and x-rays to most of the environment. Which leaves clear traces that can be spotted with (or in) our technology.

So it is either technology that we don't know about, like science fiction.
Or it is exit-signs and well known thermite of which we can see lots of evidence in the dust and remains.

Unlike in the movie, however, individuals will retain their street smarts and will find ways to survive in the collapsing society, if the head rots to such an extent that it can no longer prevent this. They're doing what they can, systematically destroying small farms and the like, to make us all fully dependent on them, the 'elite'. But as they stupidize themselves and all levels of government, self-reliant people will resume the homesteading and small business model that sustained small towns up until the post-war period.

Q-Continuum-kin · 2024-05-21T18:28:08+00:00

The stated rationale is fine but it seems like they made zero effort to fix the stated problem.

The rationale behind the downgrading of the crime to a misdemeanor included consideration for parents and teachers of children who download the content in order to inform law enforcement. “Such cases have occurred particularly frequently among parents and teachers of older children or young people who found child pornography on them and passed it on to other parents, teachers or the school management to inform them of the problem,” reads Article 1 of the bill.

They also mention minors who possess pictures of themselves.

Yes ok those are perfect exceptions. Why the go for the worst solution which is going for a blanket downgrade. Now true criminals don't get much consequence and innocent people still get punished.

Keep in mind that both theories don't have to cancel each other out. Both the Jewish leaders, and the Catholic CIA could have worked together in order to set up 9/11 to push for war in the Middle East for their own ends, but in classic Jesuit fashion, usually the Jews are left as the solitary conspirators.

Another interesting fact is how the buildings were turned into dust for the most part. There's no way fire alone could have done that, it would require a powerful explosion.

The "secret evidence" was already known at the start.
And it was planted there to divert the attention.

The real problem with the 9/11 attacks:

1) The sudden free-fall collapse of 3 WTC towers into their own footprint. Which is evidence for a controlled demolition. So fine-controlled demolition, that there was no damage to other buildings. See 911ae.org for several studies on the subject. The WTC-dust also contained oxidizers that indicate demolition. (Architects and Engineers for 9/11 truth)

2) The identified remains of the planes were from military origin, not from the civil planes that were "hijacked". The transponders of both civil and military planes were off in an area where the radar could not follow them. And after that they switched on again. The civil planes then were turned and flying too fast for stable flight, but the military version does fly that speed. (Pilots for 9/11 truth)

3) The Pentagon's administration was damaged. And that destroyed the possibility to track down 21 trillion dollars. Rumsberg mentioned 2.3 trillion dollars the day before 9/11, but later this was corrected to 21 T by prof. Skidmore.

4) Various other suspicious shenanigans. Like dancing Israeli spies were able to predict the attacks and were filming them. This led to the conspiracy that Israel did this. But there are also several Pentagon insiders involved, so these spied may have followed the whole plan instead (for later blackmail?). Here is a good overview of the people involved

Curiously Rumsfeld mentioned that the Pentagon had $2.3 Trillion unaccounted for shortly before this happened. That figured has continued to rise over time:

$10 Trillion missing from the Pentagon and no one knows where it is.

MSU scholars found $21 trillion in unauthorized government spending from 1998 to 2015.

The figure is probably already over $90 Trillion at this point.

There was some creepy foreshadowing in the media related to it like in this case:

The Illuminati card game predicted many future events in its time. Including the 9/11 attacks against the twin towers, the Pentagon and Donald Trump.

A lot of people ignore the role that Catholic/Jesuit groups (the actual CIA) had in the 9/11 events:

https://np.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/iqpvk0/jesuit_georgetown_university_the_sovereign/

The Jesuits themselves have controlled the CIA, FBI, KGB/FSB, MI5/MI6, Mossad, among other Intelligence groups simultaneously. So they are responsible for nearly every single conflict involving every single nation on earth in the last decades, all while blaming the Jews for it. The Jewish "World Domination" conspiracy theories didn't even existed until the Jesuits started with their writtings and the Intelligence groups themselves are mostly anti-Semitic, although I myself do believe that there are legit Ultra-Zionist groups out there:

Does the CIA stereotype Jews as security risks? (Salon 1998)

The KGB and records of Soviet anti-Semitism.

The CIA is behind the Ukrainian anti-Semitic nationalist movement.

MI6 aimed to blow up ships taking Jewish groups to Palestine. (Operation Embarrass)

Evidence of the Israelis being targetted as part of the genocide plan involving the vaccines under the Mossad.

9/11 as a CIA psyop. The no plane theory and the Jesuit role behind it. The stories of Israelis being there in the destruction of the buildings were spread out by CIA like Philip Giraldi.

"Former" CIA Valerie Plame promoted anti-Semitic sites online shared by fellow CIA Philip Giraldi, including accusations of pushing for war through their “control” of “the politicians” and “the media and entertainment industries.” (NY Post 2017)

Nah, that's bullshit.

Most "reasons" I hear from people these days are bullshit reasons; I wish I could slap some sense into them with millions at a time (without me even having to get to know the poor creatures), but unfortunately we have rules that fit a society of rational individuals and I live in the circus.

Isn't EVERY government like that, everywhere?

Fair point, but they at least pretend to not be criminals and the set of criminals rotates every 4 or 5 years, which theoretically helps.

There is a difference between "you are in the opposition and I am going to poison you and then lock you up in a Siberia" and "I am going to make sure you will not get a government contract, even though you are the best". It's both corruption, however.

I think not every government is like that, but then again, I don't know many governments. Ultimately, if you go against their interests, even legally, they will find a way to 'govern'. I think the trust in governments is at an all time low to the point that senior news reporters refer to them as circuses... In the time of the Romans, senators were at least educated and respected. Depending on the emperor in charge, corruption was even punished. I am wondering whether we really progressed anything.

How do you think the war will end? I don't see Ukraine going to negotiate, because you can't negotiate with Russia (they will just regroup and attack again). Russia could retreat and hope that Ukraine will not march to Moscow at any later point in the future (let's say Ukraine develops until a wealthy state in the next few hundred years and could crush Russia with low effort at some point). I think Putin just has gotten COVID and gotten slightly crazy (lots of people experienced something like that). The average IQ (as compared with pre-COVID) dropped due to COVID, no doubt.

Do you not think Russia is on a full on genocidal mission to replace every Ukrainian with a Russian? It seems completely obvious to me.

Its an obvious war of attrition against the US. The only question is, are the ones purposely causing it with these policies of open borders and foreign destabilization, doing it through ignorance or are they purposely attacking their own country.

US Welfare mostly only pays women.

Sometimes you can get money as a man with children dependents, but it takes much more scrutiny. You are reliant on the whims of some bitter DHFS lady; it could take years to get started, or it could take years to get your full amount.

Income tax will put you in the high-chance of audit, if you are a single man claiming children dependence; this happened to me and it delayed my much needed income tax return for 1.5 years. It also required significant action from me or I would automatically FORFEIT my owed income tax over-payment return!!! WTF, that was money money I was forced to fight for and prove beyond a doubt!

Daycare facilities will call the police on you and report it as suspicious, if you are a man with dependent children; this happened to me.

A man without children will not be able to get even food stamps, except for a brief temporary and scaled back one-time burst.

Good to see that the billionaire city is getting more coverage. The issue here is that the rich have essentially the ability to dictate our urban policies.

Jan Sramek, a 37-year-old Czech-born, former Goldman Sachs trader-turned-aspiring city-builder, is trying to convince the public that the project isn't just an oasis for billionaires or some high-tech city of the future. His vision: turn all this farmland into a walkable city in the mold of Savannah, Philadelphia, or New York City's West Village.

Some super rich individual should not be dictating urban land use policies.

Why?

HugodeCrevellier · 2024-05-21T14:45:56+00:00

'Two decades of U.S. policy appear to be rooted in a mistaken understanding of what happened that day.'

Nonsense.

By 'rooted in a mistaken understanding of what happened that day' they actually mean 'rooted in completely wilful and premeditated lies'.

Nobody misunderstood anything.

They knew they were lying.

Given how long this whole ship moving has taken, I think in many ways, this is a sign of the US in decline.

Whatever and whoever makes up the so-called ‘Deep State’ is controversial. What is clear, however, is that it has failed to handle the Boeing case properly. It should have paid more attention to the experts and critics who had been pointing out the deficiencies at Boeing for many years. The Deep State should have been doing serious research into why the institutional system in the US has been so defective and has been producing results contrary to the national interest. It boggles the mind to think that the US can expect to issue rules for setting and controlling the world order and can apply those rules to some 200 countries, while being unable to manage a single aircraft manufacturing company within its own borders.

The irony of this situation is that the Deep State is its own worst enemy. If they had built competently built aircraft, this would not have happened. Boeing put greed over all else.

He went no contact. I'm betting she put him through hell and he finally gathered the wherewithal to walk away, then the ex started pouring on the charm when he got engaged because she couldn't bear knowing he was going to be happy elsewhere. If I'm right, he got away from crazy and he should stay away.
