Ok, I had a detailed look at the declassified Romanian intelligence documents (presidency.ro/ro/media/comun…) on the basis of which the #election results were cancelled and the craziest part of all this is that they actually don't prove foreign interference or manipulation.
What do they show?

Just listened to an informative and inspiring interview of Alexander Medvednikov, creator of the V programming language.

The interview is in Russian, as I am not fluent in that language I turned on English sub-titles and read along.

Very much worth the time for me, as I very much value Alexander's approach. The last twenty minutes gave me insights into his values and priorities. I think his goals for what computing and tech could be is inspiring.

The V programming language is still in beta and it might be a while before it reaches 1.0, so heads up on that.

J'ai examiné en détail les documents déclassifiés des services de renseignement roumains (presidency.ro/ro/media/comun…) sur la base desquels les résultats des #élections ont été annulés et le plus fou dans tout cela, c'est qu'ils ne prouvent pas l'ingérence ou la manipulation étrangère.
Que montrent-ils ? ....

What's the odds that they'll start finding flu viruses in all milk everywhere? When did they begin testing milk for flu viruses anyway? If it was in the late 1950s and just now finding it, that's one thing. But if they just started testing for it in 2020 or some such nonsense, then what are we worried about? Besides, I thought Pasteurization took care of all the bugs.

I wonder if they'll be using the same PCR tests that found Wuhan Flu in every sample tested?

@PaulNickson He is the impersonation of greed - he doesn't think, climate catastrophes will bother him too much. Due to his wealth, his arrogance and his connections. And everyone else isn't important. Only he is.
That's an attitude you'll find with many fossil rich people, more so with those in powerful political positions or influence in politics.

@MennoWolff @violetmadder @scrum @PaulNickson @robert Well, the problem becomes, who administers those rules, who enforces them, and what arms are they given in order to perform that enforcement? What happens when that registry falls into the hands of a fascist state that wants to take weapons from minorities and marginalized people? A good example would be if a Trump administration decided to disarm trans people, they could be cross referenced from the firearm registry to their medical records.

I'm in favor of gun legislation. But that doesn't necessarily mean get rid of all guns. Just common sense rules.
The most practical way would be permits. Want to buy a gun? First do a course to learn the minimum skills to handle it safely.
Want a bigger gun? Do more training.
This should be registered centrally and that organisation should be able to take your permit away if you're likely to get violent.
But it'll never happen in the US.

More on the social fallout from the killing of Brian Thompson of CEO UnitedHealthCare.... we may find out in the next few weeks whether this represents a flash in the pan, or the beginning of a major social resistance to the horrors of the US private health care system.

West Asian Resistance Factions React to Ongoing Western-Backed Syrian Counter-Revolution


Western-backed Syrian counter-revolutionary forces pushed deeper into Syria today as regional revolutionary and resistance factions process the challenges and prepare for unprecedented difficulties in the near future.

The Syrian army collapsed on multiple fronts as reactionary militias, supported by Turkey, the West and the Zionist regime, began slowly articulating new plans for the region.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan addressed his state’s collusion in the operation on Friday expressing hope for “a smooth continuation of anti-regime forces’ advance toward Damascus.”

“…Idlib, Hama, Homs, and the target, of course, is Damascus. The opposition’s march continues. Our wish is that this advancement in Syria continues without accidents or disasters,” Erdogan stated to reporters following Friday prayers in Istanbul.

Erdogan also voiced dissatisfaction with Syria’s leadership, saying, “We made a call to (Bashar al) Assad. We said: ‘Come, let’s determine the future of Syria together.’ Unfortunately, we did not receive a positive response to this.”

This operation was launched the next day, after the ceasefire in Lebanon, demonstrating a level of collusion between the Turkish and Zionist regime that has shocked many considering Erdogan’s public, and hypocritcal stance on Gaza.

Furthermore, Turkey has been sleepwalking through a tremendmous defeat to PKK and HBDH guerrillas in the Medya Defense Zones in Iraqi Kurdistan. While trying to find an exit, it seems the Turkish state opted for a more extreme escalation, attempting to bury Kurdistan and Palestine in one step.

PKK-KCK member Sabri Ok stated, “The Turkish state is always looking for an opportunity. It is calculating how to make its plans for Syria succeed. The Turkish state has supported tens of thousands of ISIS gang members and mercenaries and their versions in Idlib, on Syrian soil. Most HTS are essentially ISIS members. The Turkish state says that territorial integrity must be preserved in Syria, but it has occupied three-fifths of Syrian territory. It has not only occupied it but also annexed it. It took its own state system there. It has opened schools, administrative districts, governors, and governors, and annexed it in every sense.”

He concluded that the PKK put up great resistance against ISIS and the “fate of HTS will be the same.”

Throughout the offensive, the Zionist regime has attacked the border crossings between Lebanon and Syria trying to destroy the landbridge that funnels weapons to the Resistance, in collusion with the Takfiri fighters. In a Times of Israel interview today a “FSA” fighter stated, “We are open to friendship with everyone in the region – including Israel. We don’t have enemies other than the Assad regime, Hezbollah and Iran. What Israel did against Hezbollah in Lebanon helped us a great deal. Now we are taking care of the rest.”

While Hezbollah Secretary Sheikh Qassem noted that the aggression on Syria is “fostered by [the] US and Zionists following their powerlessness in Gaza and their failure in attempts to sideline Syria.”

In a message to the Arab states, he stressed, “Know that every win for “Israel” is a loss for you, not just for Palestine, Syria and Lebanon, and it will have ramifications on your countries.”

He added that the Takfiri groups intend to take Syria away from its stance on the side of the Resistance, to a stance that serves the occupation.

“We now face a very dangerous Zionist project against the Middle East,” he warned.

The Central Command of the Palestinian Resistance Forces Alliance confirmed that the aggression carried out by these Takfiri organizations on the provinces of Aleppo and Hama is part of a American-Zionist-Turkish scheme, falling within the framework of the aggressive war being waged against the forces of the Axis of Resistance.

The Central Command considered this aggression to be part of the war being launched by the Zionist entity against Palestine and Lebanon, following its failure to achieve its objectives in both. It emphasized that this aggression, backed by the Turkish regime, the U.S. administration, and the Zionist entity, constitutes a new escalation against the liberation struggle. It described this as a reckless and miscalculated step by these organizations and their sponsors, who will fail to achieve their objectives in Syria, just as they have failed in Palestine and Lebanon.

The statement expressed the solidarity of the Palestinian Resistance Forces Alliance with Syria, which has thwarted the “New Middle East” plan since 2011.

The Palestinian Resistance Forces Alliance is a coalition of Palestinian factions. It includes Hamas, PIJ, PFLP-GC, Fatah Al-Intifada, PPSF, Al-Sa’iqa, PLF, and the Revolutionary Palestinian Communist Party.

Kataeb Hezbollah in the Islamic Resistance in Iraq spokesperson, Hajj Jaafar Al-Husseini, stated to HTS, “Before your masters taught you how to kill innocent people and displace the vulnerable, they should have given you lessons in the etiquette of speech when you mention Iraq and its people. You should ask your instigators in the capitals of evil and normalization what it means if Kataeb Hezbollah decides to enter the battle, and what will happen to you and the zionist monkeys who are cheering for the current events—as well as what will happen to those capitals that support your criminality!”

The push to make Refaat Alareer’s posthumous collection of poetry and #prose a global bestseller is now in full swing. Based on the current rankings, it looks like thousands of you pre-ordered the book “If I Must Die” in the past few days. It has soared into the top 100 worldwide — #77 as I type this — which is nearly unheard of for a book of poetry, especially one from a small publisher.

I asked myself: what can I do about the genocide that the state of Israel is perpetrating over the people of Palestine?

Learn that it is a genocide according to several UN agencies, Amnesty International, and more, despite of all the propaganda negating this obvious point.

Learn that the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, and Yoav Gallant, former Minister of Defense, accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Learn that a large cross-party majority of the Bundestag in Germany (where I live) approved a resolution allegedly to combat antisemitism but in practice allows repression to critics of the state of Israel, points to Muslim immigrants as a risk, ignores that the actual risk continues to be the rising far-right, and supports the zionist (and antisemitic too!) conflation of Jewish religion and nation and Israeli state.

(This was dense, but this resolution is so shameful in so many ways.)

« Le ministre norvégien des Affaires étrangères Espen Bart Eide a appelé à la victoire de l' #Ukraine après le discours du ministre russe des Affaires étrangères Sergueï #Lavrov lors d'une réunion du Conseil ministériel de l' #OSCE. Le Norvégien a déclaré que la #Russie "viole les principes de l’Acte final d’Helsinki et de la Charte des Nations Unies" "Règle numéro un dans les relations internationales : vous devez respecter l’égalité souveraine, vous devez respecter l’intégrité territoriale des autres États. C’est exactement ce que la Russie ne fait pas" a-t-il dit.
J’ai une question pour le gouvernement norvégien : où était l’Acte final d’Helsinki lorsque les #États-Unis et d’autres membres de l’OTAN ont bombardé la #Yougoslavie et mené le coup d’État en Ukraine en #2014 ?


Options de réponse :
A. J'ai oublié.
B. Nous ne savons pas.
C. Au même endroit que la Charte des Nations Unies - dans l'oubli.

Quant à la "victoire de l’Ukraine", il est préférable pour les Occidentaux de formuler leur préoccupation pour les restes de cet État par le mot "salut", qui nécessite d’arrêter la fourniture d’armes au régime de Kiev et d’empêcher l’âge de mobilisation des Ukrainiens d’être abaissé. Autrement, l’Occident ne laissera rien de l’ #Ukraine et de ses citoyens. Même si c’est peut-être exactement le résultat souhaité par l’ #OTAN ».

i think that's a good part of what i like about it haha.
but also... i meant to start playing tenor guitar, and the two instruments aren't too different except their tuning. and i found a good deal on an electric baritone uke, so i grabbed it and tuned it up like a tenor guitar. but yeah, tuning in fifths is really something else for melodic lines. and its also made me appreciate tuning in fourths for chord voicings.

Retired MA High Court Justice & WoLF legal powerhouse Elspeth Cypher returns to Heterodorx to discuss US v. Skrmetti, the Supreme Court case that could change the pediatric gender-industrial complex forever. Nina gives a “pedestrian viewpoint” of the hearing before superior legal minds Elspeth and Cori discuss solicitor generals, attorney generals, constitutional chaos, differentiation, discrimination, Dobbs, Loving, quasi-suspect vs full suspect classification, the equal protection clause, differences between girls and boys, and sissy beer. Nina eventually gets to talk about her FEELINGS on suicidal ideation, the relentless annoyance of youthful distress, child abuse, un-adults, terrifying life processes, and the need to grow up and old. Then we hear Judge TERF’s predictions of the outcome (coming Spring 2025), and Cori reminds everyone he TOLD YOU SO.

Thoughts re: #unitedhealthcare CEO getting whacked.

It may be getting past the inflection point of where we don't all disagree or... even don't agree on most things aside from typical, commonly-accepted principles. Come to think of it, it really was total BS what Brian Thompson and all the other corporate bigwigs managed to do with #Medicare / #Medicaid. Many smart people are assuming that this is why Thompson was targeted by the killer in the first place, after all. It's the unfairness and illegality of it all.

The political branches of Congress and the long arm of the law only go so far. Long before the present, all of America's healthcare system was supposed to go public as both government-run and portable and also eventually be free, one day. #Obama was elected and he did try to deliver on this one mandate, and then they flushed that pretty decent idea down the toilet when #Republicans wouldn't give up that one advantage which sends additional money to the Republicans' corporate benefactors or the insurance company CEOs. THAT system is a total screw job!

Evergreen College has been for a while right at the forefront of reintroducing phage therapy back into the United States. It was almost unique in this regard - it also managed to get a certain amount of acceptance from the FDA but not for human use. The FDA helped facilitate the use of phage antimicrobials in food products.

So it seems Evergreen was targeted for destruction and this is where Bret and Heather wankstein enter the picture. Following their tempestuous public performance the college's reputation was trashed, it lost most of its donor income and students walked away in droves from it. Now it's verging on bankruptcy.

If Americans hate private healthcare enough to resort to murder, maybe it’s not everything that our #Conservative politicians in Canada make it out to be? 🤔
