Profiting From Genocide


The latest United Nations report names hundreds of corporations, banks, technology firms, universities, pension funds and charities that profit from the Israeli occupation and genocide.

War is a business. So is genocide. The latest report submitted by Francesca Albanese, Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, lists 48 corporations and institutions, including Palantir Technologies Inc., Lockheed Martin, Alphabet Inc., Amazon, International Business Machine Corporation (IBM), Caterpillar Inc., Microsoft Corporation and Massachusetts Institue of Technology (MIT), along with banks and financial firms such as Blackrock, insurers, real estate firms and charities, which in violation of international law are making billions from the occupation and the genocide of Palestinians.

Went exploring a bit with one of my old friends who likes doing that too. We went to Kokushi, one of the historical ninja cities and visited one of the remaining ninjutsu houses built during the Edo period. Despite being a sightseeing place now, there were few tourists because you have to drive to reach it, so it was perfect for us to get out and enjoy.

Interesting fact: because ninjas carried various herbs for espionage purposes, they often posed as medicine men…and now there’s a lot of pharmacists in the area because the families have been practicing making medicines for hundreds of years!

Living Not Deadmund

None of the real news going down is getting any coverage at all. Instead the MSM is nothing but gaslighting and distractions. Nothing about the legit energy war raging atm, for instance.

Schumann resonances (which measure fluctuations in Earth's magnetic field) recorded what appears to be a massive energy weapon deployed last Thursday -- that's that strange reading in the left of the chart, which are unlike anything ever seen before and way outside of natural rhythms (which you can see on the right side).

I believe that's why the energy this weekend felt whack as hell (very dense, exhausting, volatile). But we made it out the other side!

Guest: G. Edward Griffin - Exposing The Blueprint of Control: From Jekyll Island to CBDCs
G. Edward Griffin needs little introduction—at 93, this author, documentary filmmaker and founder of Unfiltered Media has spent more than half a century exposing hidden power, most famously in The Creature from Jekyll Island, where he traced the secret meeting that birthed the Federal Reserve. In this episode of The Free Thought Project Podcast, Matt Agorist, Jason Bassler and Don Via Jr. sit down with Griffin to map the banking cartel’s century-long blueprint for control and plot how we break its chokehold.
We launch into the 1910 rendezvous on that remote Georgia island—no hearings, no debate—where a cabal of bankers and politicians sketched out the Fed, then fast-forward to today, as Griffin pulls back the curtain on how the same elites are weaponizing digital currencies, surveillance algorithms and predictive analytics to usher in a technocratic state. He lays bare their endgame: collapse the old order and herd us into a system of total oversight, where every dollar and dissenting thought is tracked.
But this isn’t just an economic exposé. We dive into the philosophical roots of our engineered society—how a government stripped of principle by design has betrayed the founders’ grand experiment in liberty—and ask what it will take to reawaken those checks and balances before they’re gone for good. As the clock winds down, Griffin shares his vision for the Red Pill Expo, a gathering meant to spark a new revolution of truth-seekers.
And just when you think you’ve heard it all, we hit you with one of Griffin’s own truths as our white-pill moment: a reminder that the fight demands action now, or the price of victory will only climb. His answer—about the decision he’s making in this very moment and the step each of us must take before this episode ends—is one you won’t want to miss.

Countering the core conservative belief: "Lazy/worthless people deserve to die"

I came across this old thread on reddit-logo. The question brings out the core Conservative belief that some people are lazy or "worthless" and "why should I pay for lazy people" or "why should I have to work for someone else to live off my labor?"

Many, many people on this thread say outright that people who they deem "lazy" don't deserve food or shelter or anything a human needs to live.

Is there a good counter to this talking point? It's pretty disgusting TBH being confronted with this. I know it's what they really believe but it still stings to read it out over and over again.

I don't understand how some people can think humans don't have an inherent right to exist. Not very "pro-life" of these people.

"Lazy" is an opinion and our society is built to treat people who aren't helping a Capitalist make profit or become a Capitalist themselves like they're burdens on society.

Life isn't fair, it never has and it never will be. Maybe some of your money goes to help a person who doesn't "work as hard as you"? There's also people who are born millionaires, people who have investments paying them for no work, people who win lotteries and jackpots or marry into wealth and never have to lift a finger again.

Forcing people to work in order to live doesn't sound fair to me. It sounds like slavery with extra steps. What kind of freedom do we truly have if we can't choose to withold our labor or check out of the system altogether?

I'm struggling a little mentally with feeling guilt around my failing job search. Technically I'm working on building three income streams, maybe four, but it feels like "failure" because I'm not making enough just yet to cover all bills. It's not for a lack of trying but there's ti.es where I have no energy to do much and it makes me feel terrible. This part of Conservatism always drove me up a wall. Hopefully some of you have good ways to fight against it.

Why be mad if that money was spread around to people who actually need it instead of just going to a few billionaires? You hate people you consider "lazy" enough that you think they should starve and that it's not worth helping anyone else if it means helping ONE "lazy" person?

‘No warning at all’: Texas flood survivors question safety planning and officials’ response

People who lost everything describe leaving homes and express anger at poor preparedness and officials who seemed to shirk responsibility

As Texas marshals a formidable response to the flash floods that have already killed dozens, questions are now being posed about warnings that were given on Thursday and early Friday about the severity of the approaching storm and the co-ordination between local officials and the National Weather Service.

New flood alerts were issued for Texas “hill country” on Sunday, prompting rescue services to suspend the search for missing people, including at least 11 from Camp Mystic, the summer camp on the banks of the Guadalupe River hard hit by Friday’s flash flood.

At an early evening press briefing, Kerr county authorities said they were suspending the search and evacuating first responders from the river valley. They confirmed that 68 had died there, including 28 children. Not all have been identified, with officials still examining the bodies of 18 adults and 10 children.

Black screen on wake from suspend on game mode

Hi all, I have tried everything, and now I am coming here for help. Hopefully someone can tell me what's happening here.
So, I have this older pc that I have converted into a steam console, first with Bazzite and now with Chimera OS. Both work very nicely, but the one issue that persisted on both distros is that when I put the pc to sleep from game mode (press xbox button>power>sleep) then wake it up, the screen is not receiving a signal, it not even a black screen, just no signal. I would have to force reboot it to be able to get in. Nothing works. I can't even get into a tty screen or do anything. It is connected to a samsung tv 65mu8000 via HDMI cable. I have UHD color input enabled for that input, just to give more details.

I have tried disabling the wake up animation like some folks suggested and that didn't do anything. I have tried disabling the display core like some other searches suggested by putting amdgpu.dc=0 in modprob.d in its own file. I have tried blocking the intel iGPU, even though this CPU doesn't have one. Nothing works.
It has an intel core i7 5930k and an AMD RX 6600.
I would appreciate any help or suggestions

I've had the similar problems with bazzite in desktop mode coming back from sleep or screen off, first with Nvidia, then solved by switching to an AMD graphics card, but now it happens there too. I have two workarounds.

1) Try Ctrl+Alt+F1and Ctrl+Alt+F3. You should be able to switch to console then back to desktop/login screen.

2) In KDE Plasma, there's a way to map wake screen to a keyboard button. That worked for me until I reinstalled the OS and never bothered.

I think this is a Plasma or SSDM issue but idk how to report it properly.

Any ideas would be appreciated

You think it's the screen/hdmi at fault, but it might not be. I've had the problem with two laptops in the past (the bug was with all distros I tried), and in one case it was a BIOS that Linux didn't like, and the second one was the internal wifi that its linux driver was buggy. For the first laptop there was nothing to be done, so I disabled sleep completely in the bios, while for the second one, I disabled the wifi modules in the kernel's blacklist, and then used a usb wifi that I knew it worked better. Both cases were appearing as a dead screen, but it wasn't the screen/hdmi/gfx card to blame. In yet another case, with a thinkpad laptop, the wake up was working, but it would wake up 30 seconds later than anticipated. In that case, it was the fact that its thunderbolt was dead (hardware had gone bad), and only when I disabled it in the bios completely the laptop would wake up correctly and fast.

In all those cases, I had to look at the kernel logs to see what was the issue. There were traces of the problem of which hardware exactly was creating the problem. It might look like a screen/hdmi problem, but most of the times, it's not.

My debit card's "fraud protection":

1. Regularly flags payments to subscription services as potential fraud even though I've used them for years, paying with the same debit card, and in spite of the fact that I've indicated many times that I trust these services; and
2. Has never identified a real instance of fraud

Whatever they're doing to detect potential fraud, it has a large false positive rate and does not seem adaptive (at least in my case). It's especially odd to me that this bank asks if I've authorized transactions it flagged as potentially fraudulent, I indicate no, this is not fraud, and yet the system continues to flag transactions with the same vendor as potentially fraudulent. I'm giving it a reinforcement signal that couldn't be more clear!

Edit: this post is not a request for banking or financial advice, nor an invitation to critique my choices. I'm venting about what seems to be a poor algorithm and if you have any comments or insights into that particular topic I'm happy to hear them.

I don't know where you live, but in the US the relevant consumer protection laws for credit vs debit vary pretty dramatically. You're far more protected using a credit card than a debit card for purchases. With debit card fraud, they can drain your account of money you actually have; with credit, they're just borrowing money in your name - you haven't lost anything until you actually make a credit card payment. Furthermore, the maximum liability for credit fraud is $50; the maximum for debit fraud can be the total amount stolen, depending on when you report it.

I suspect your bank has their fraud settings tuned so high because debit card fraud can be catastrophic. If someone fraudulently uses your debit card fraudulently and drains your account, you may start bouncing checks, lose your ability to buy food or pay rent/mortgage, etc. Those things carry fees, fines, and long-lasting consequences that, even after the fraudulent money is returned (which can take a long time), you'll still have to deal with. It's especially risky for people who have limited funds - a few bounced check or late fees can be the difference between staying afloat and sinking into an inescapable debt cycle.

Additionally, if you fail to notice a fraudulent transaction for more than 60 days on a debit card, you lose any legal protection; that money is gone unless your bank decides out of the goodness of its heart to reimburse you. I don't know any banks that would do that.

I highly doubt they have per-customer tuning of their system-wide fraud monitoring software. Furthermore, the new hotness (as of a few years ago anyway) in scams is subscription services, where you make a purchase but the vendor signs you up for recurring subscription, and makes impossible to cancel. I don't pretend to know the inner workings of fraud detection algorithms, but it seems reasonable that recurring subscriptions to niche things could trigger this. Without knowing your details, it's hard to guess why they're flagging, and it'd all be speculation anyway, but it's possible that the vendor you're subscribing to has been flagged as fraudulent by other customers - maybe they used dark patterns and tricked people into subscriptions, like many US Republican organizations were doing in the run-up to the 2024 elections. Maybe they make it difficult to unsubscribe, so customers report it as fraud to get the charges to stop. Maybe the payment processor has actually been fraudulently charging customers (it's not uncommon for small businesses to get compromised and have their systems used for fraud-adjacent activities like validating stolen card numbers).

At the end of the day it seems like being moderately annoyed by false positives is a better outcome than being financially ruined by a false negative; your bank is probably tuning their software with that in mind. Even if you're in a financial situation where fraud won't affect you, they likely have customers who aren't so lucky.

If it's a source of that much frustration for you, you always have the option of switching banks, or switching your subscriptions to a different payment method. I highly doubt you'll have much luck getting them to re-tune their entire system just to avoid the inconvenience of a fraud alert, especially in the context of debit card transactions.

Long post

You are now the second person who has 'splained at me how banking and credit works, without knowing a single thing about my circumstances or the nature of the account I'm using. You didn't ask any clarifying questions, nor inquire into whether I was seeking advice (which I'm not), before writing all that--including a suggestion to switch banks, which is absurd. What is going on out there that people think this is a good thing to do at someone on the internet?

I was commenting on the lousy nature of their fraud detection algorithm and how it fails to respond appropriately to clear feedback. Regardless of the level of risk involved, a vendor that the customer has stated is safe over a dozen times should not be flagged as potentially fraudulent. Doing so is wasting everyone's time, attention, and resources, and detracts from the purpose of a fraud alert. Alerts don't tend to function when there are too many false positives. If you work at a bank and have insights into why this algorithm might exhibit such poor behavior, I'm all ears. If you want to vent along with me, great. Otherwise what are you doing?

The rail systems in China and Western Europe rely on high population densities but simply don't exist throughout most of the United States. In order to justify such rail systems in the United states, the population density of the country would have to rise by a factor of nearly 10. Actually doing that would bring about a huge ecological disaster, because much of the north American continent is already straining in a number of different critical resources such as water, and the amount of food production we could expect to see from the United States would drop catastrophically which would be a humanitarian disaster for huge swaths of the world.

When Europeans criticize Americans, they're continuing their long and storied history of trying to export their bad ideas mindlessly and end up killing a bunch of people in other continents. In the few cases that they were successful, they apologize for it later but obviously they don't feel sorry enough to stop trying to do it.

Omarchy - an opinionated Hyprland + Arch setup | built by DHH

David Heinemeier Hansson, the creator of Ruby on Rails, has tailored together his take on Hyprland combined with Arch. It looks quite neat and promising and looks like a nice entry point for those who don't want to configure hyprland themselves. DHH describes Omarchy as:

Turn a fresh Arch installation into a fully-configured, beautiful, and modern web development system based on Hyprland by running a single command. That's the one-line pitch for Omarchy (like it was for Omakub). No need to write bespoke configs for every essential tool just to get started or to be up on all the latest command-line tools. Omarchy is an opinionated take on what Linux can be at its best.


Omarchy comes in different themes, and by the looks of it this are hotswappable on the go by using the keybinds: Super + Ctrl + Shift + Space.

Why are local energy consumers subsidizing data centers?

Answer: Because Big Tech are corporate welfare scammers

"The truth is, these data centers will create very few permanent jobs, but will create staggering costs for electricity ratepayers and everyone else across our state."

Data centers are total scam on local communities.

Was just about to suggest it might be PDA. I have a bit of that and it is rather annoying. Some techniques ive used go combat this:

  • challenge yourself. Or someone else challenge you to do a thing. "I bet you can't do x."
  • give yourself a couple choices that lead to the same result and then just lick one. This one can be tough if im feeling indecisive.

Neither are perfect but they do help sometimes.

Nice suggestions, thanks!

Challenges usually get the opposite reaction than demands for me, I can't even count all the stuff I've done because of it. Maybe self (not-)imposed challenges would work? I'll need to give it a try. Though challenges also have their problems, like picking the most stupid or pointless ideas because I was advised not to do it. I think there's a correlation between how stupid and pointless an idea is and how quickly my brain latches onto in 😅
