> They hewed to the craven orthodoxy… the entire point of an “independent” central bank is to defeat any economic program that serves the people to the inconvenience of Big Finance.

I don’t see how you can possibly enjoy US chocolate. It tastes like sawdust that’s been drowned in sugar and soaked with baby vomit.
\
It tastes like that, by the way, because that’s roughly what it is. American chocolate (I’m talking about the non-fancy stuff) has a lot more sugar and a lot less cocoa than its European counterparts. Some producers also allegedly put their milk through a process called controlled lipolysis which produces butyric acid. What’s that when it’s at home? It’s something that’s found in vomit. God knows what else Americans get up to in their chocolate factories. A lawsuit recently filed in New York alleges that Hershey, which has the licence to produce Cadbury products in the US, “fails to disclose” that some of its chocolate products “contain unsafe levels of lead and cadmium”.
\
There may be identifiable reasons that explain why US chocolate is so gross but here’s what I have a hard time understanding: why do Americans, who excel at many things, stand for this? Why are they so complacent about their terrible healthcare system and their chlorinated chicken and their rancid chocolate? I’m not being a chocolate snob here (well, I’m only being a little bit of a snob), because there’s a serious side to this: Europe is a lot stricter about many food additives than the US. Americans have basically been poisoned into believing that their chocolate tastes nice, I reckon.

You don't understand. This was plotted. The police had nothing on him. Their only lead, three days after the crime, was a bag full of monopoly money. He played them like a fiddle.
You don't just go out, weapon used in the crime, four fake IDs used for the crime, the silencer seen in the video, with the exact same clothes in which you committed the act and behave suspicious in a McDonald's.
If he stays hidden, his mystique will become a symbol, give him a name and a platform, and many more will follow in his footsteps.

The German Paedo-Files (2020)
By: Ekaterina Kozhakina
Helmut Kentler was a Berlin-based psychology professor who was hailed as a hero of the sexual revolution. He argued that placing homeless children in the care of known paedophiles would contribute to the kids’ socialisation while giving the guardians a chance to become caring foster parents.
Berlin's welfare authorities condoned his views and, for decades, allowed him to conduct his «social experiment». After 30 years, several victims came forward and in this RTD documentary share harrowing memories of the abuse they suffered at the hands of their supposed 'caregivers'.

Marie Antoinette – (1755–1793). Wife of Louis XVI of France. One of the charges brought against Marie Antoinette was that she had ‘debauched liaisons with women as well as with men’. Even as early as 1775 her strong friendships with women were looked upon with suspicion. Many of these accusations against her, made by the French, were grounded in the fear of Austrian domination, via ‘petticoat power’ wielded by Marie Antoinette and her mother, Maria Theresa, Empress of Austria.

Ebay seller shipped the Ryzen AM4 cpu just in a plastic bag between two pieces of cardboard and then in a small bubble mailer.
The pins were bent.
Took me about an hour of careful work with an exacto knife under a light to get them all bent back in place.
I guess that is one reason that AMD switched to LGA instead of PGA for their AM5 processors.
I do like AM4 and bent pins are rarely a problem... but when you do have to deal with bent pins, they sure can be frustrating.

Not sure I will yet...
I messages him as I was working on it. He offered right away to refund. When I finally got it working, I let him know that I did.
He said it was the first CPU he ever sold.
I suppose I could go back in his reviews on completed sales to confirm that.
If he was telling the truth, I may give him some slack.

*Deny, Defend, Depose*, today's post by Cory Doctorow is about when rightful outrage turns into deadly rage. It's also about what almost everybody born elsewhere can feel about the US death and greed cultures, and how both of these cultures interact.
It's deadly serious, and also seriously witty. If so many people wouldn't be dying of it, it would probably have been even funny.

I'm not a big "prayer warrior" type. It's not in my nature, but I try to align my actions with my beliefs.
I think it was from one of Dick Eastman's (?) books that I read something to the effect that we pray according to our faith. Meaning, if we believe that God:
1) hears our prayer
2) can do anything
3) has good intentions for people
then we will pray because why wouldn't you?
I think a lot of times we don't pray because we don't believe the 1, 2, and 3 above. In that case, of course it would seem like prayer is a waste of time. It's just something that old people do, or something that super-religious people do.
I remember reading about Charles Finney's revival meetings. He said that before he showed up in an area, there would be a couple of people who would travel there before him and pray. He credited that prayer for the success of the meetings.
Intercessory prayer is powerful. Read how Daniel prayed for his people in Daniel chapter 9. He was reading the prophesies of Jeremiah and was compelled to pray for the Jewish people. He confessed their sins and asked God for mercy. As a result, the angel Gabriel comes to tell him that as soon as he began to pray, "a word went out" in answer in heaven.
Sometimes we don't know what we ought to pray for. In these cases, the Spirit himself intercedes for us on our behalf (Rom 8:26-27). For Pentecostals/Charismatics, we understand this to be "praying in the spirit" which our mind does not understand, as Paul explains in 1 Cor 14.
Sorry for the ramble. If you are worried or anxious about anything, I want to encourage you to pray to God about it! Let your requests be known to Him who can do all things more than we can imagine. It's not a waste of time.

The violent response to #BrianThompson, a CEO who profits obscenely from the torment and suffering of millions of customers.
It didn't need to happen. Those CEOs have had plenty of warning that oppressed people will be pushed only so far before seeking a violent response.
The title short story from collection _Radicalized_, by @pluralistic, details how people are corralled by the physical suffering of family members, exploited by an insurance industry deliberately designed to extract wealth while denying health care, and finally resort to violent terrorism in the absence of any other effective option.
CEOs have had this, and for decades many other, warnings that they must stop the ghoulish practice of denying health care to those who need it, while extracting wealth. A reckoning is coming.
#EndWealthCare #HealthCareIsAHumanRight #PolicyFailure #Radicalized
This week @pluralistic wrote this article, in response to the murder of #BrianThompson and the clear similarity of this situation to his _Radicalized_ short story (2019).
Years ago, Doctorow was wondering at the fact angry gunmen, frequently made financially desperate because of denial-of-care industries like #ForProfitHealthInsurance, somehow don't turn that rage against the industry profiting from their suffering:
“This is an industry that is practically *designed* to fill the people who interact with it with uncontrollable rage. I mean, if you're watching your wife or your kid die before your eyes because some millionaire CEO decided to aim for a $10 billion stock buyback this year instead of his customary $9 billion target, wouldn't you feel that kind of murderous rage?”

As this brief description makes clear similarities with today’s situation are many. Whereas the conclusion of the Cold War did not have an official ending similar to Versailles, its main contours reproduced Versailles. The satisfied powers, the winners of the Cold War, were the US, UK, France and foremost Germany that regained unity. On the other hand, the “New World Order” produced one large power (Russia) that was from the very beginning unsatisfied with the outcome, especially since Russia, like Germany in 1918, did not at all feel defeated. From the very beginning when under Yeltsin the country was half-destroyed and internationally behaved more or less like a US vassal, Russia was resentful of one aspect of the victors’ policies: the extension of their military alliance to Russia’s borders.

Second, who keeps the clothing used in said crime? Refer to issue 1
Third, Fake ID's? Once you use a fake ID, it's burned. You don't keep it.
Fourth, Manifesto? Something like that is usually left at the scene or where it can be found. Why carry/keep it with you?

tbh I don't think he cared too much about getting caught. There's very little outsmarting law enforcement in cases like this.
Plus, you don't exactly assassinate someone you don't know if you have something to lose. Think he just accepted he was gonna get caught and rode out the manhunt for as long as he could.
