Unless Iโve missed somethingโand pls update if soโmajor news orgs seem profoundly uninterested in the death toll from the Venezuela raid. Nowhere to be found on MSM home pages.
Local sources say 80 dead. Isnโt that worth pursuing, even if itโs just examining the credibility of the sourcing?
it's honestly an insult to Dick Cheney's months of intelligence and media manipulation for Trump to just do this. Nobody wants to work anymore.

After years of letting Korean doomsday cult / slave labor org Grace Road thrive & turn into one of the country's biggest business conglomerates, Fiji is now under serious pressure from the U.S. to crack down or lose access to millions $ in aid

Drawing for the Bondi Beach hero who risked his life to disarm one of antisemitic terrorist shooters in Australia.
According to 7NEWS Australia, the hero has been identified as Ahmad Al Ahmed, 43 year old father of 2 and Sydney resident.
I try to have faith in humanity but then I find out that there are people in Australia who will walk right past the Kensington Prides and pay more money for an objectively inferior variety like the Calypso (AKA the Shephard avocado of mangoes)

Pizzagate: If you replace the word โhot dogโ with โlittle boyโ and โpizza partyโ with โchild sex orgy,โ you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes.

I wrote about how "Grokipedia" is a new front on the war against reality itself. It's an attempt by the oligarchic class to seize the means of knowledge production itself and create a weaponized unreality.

"Harry" referenced here is v. likely Prabowo's billionaire brother, Hary Tanoesoedibjo.
Easiest way to think of it: Hary handles the business side for the family, Prabowo handles politics
If Prabowo is talking about Hary meeting Eric and Don Jr., then this is a conversation about doing business
In a digital world, talking to sensitive sources is nearly impossible without encryption. The EUโs #ChatControl plan is an attack on accountability journalism - and a gift to surveillance

Looking back, it's pretty clear that the 2003 invasion of Iraq broke everything.

Telegram claims to be a secure "free speech" app
But reporting reveals its links to Russia's intelligence agencies
(Telegram's founder also visited Russia 50+ times while claiming to be in exile)
Translatable captions here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7pn...
Russian exile reporters just revealed how the Telegram app is connected to Putin's FSB intelligence service
Makes a hell of a lot of sense

Remember late last year when @mediapart.fr @dropsitenews.com etc thought they had uncovered a *scandal* in the fact that investigative journalism outlets openly received U.S. grants? What a quaint idea
Now, we can see the full effect of the brutal Trump aid cuts their reporting helped make happen
