The video starts by asking what most people know about Joseph Stalin, suggesting that many believe he was a horrific monster responsible for taking the lives...
Thanks for the video. This guy has a lot more discoveries ahead of him, and he and his followers are on the right track. I myself have spoken with people who lived under Stalin. Ordinary workers and peasants adored Stalin, the father of the people, because his rule had changed the lives of ordinary people so dramatically. But bureaucrats were afraid, especially when corruption arose somewhere.

tbh, I've looked at examples of other people's resumes who actually work in cybersecurity in the jobs I'm applying for, and mine isn't even bad. It's pretty good, even. I don't understand why no one's even interviewing me.
I feel like if one of these recruiters saw how rabid I'd been in the last two weeks with my home lab they'd hire me on the spot.

From Kerem-navot -- Israeli NGO established in 2012, which monitors and carries out research on Israeli land policy in the #WestBank:
#YinonLevy was born in Jerusalem around 32 years ago. Odeh #Hadalin was born around 31 years ago in the small Bedouin village of Umm al-Kheir in the South Hebron Hills. Last Tuesday, Yinon Levy killed Odeh Hadalin. This was not a one-time event but the result of many systemic failures.
Yinon #Levy owns a company that operates several heavy construction machines. Odeh Hadalin was an English teacher at the school in the Bedouin village where he was born and lived his entire life. From video footage and eyewitness accounts, we can piece together what happened that day. But in this post, we want to talk about some of the decisions that ultimately led to the moment when Yinon Levy shot and killed Odeh Hadalin โ most of which were made long before either of them was born.
In 1980, #Israel established a โNachalโ military outpost called Carmel. It was built on lands belonging to the Palestinian town of Yatta, in the southeastern West Bank. Near that site, several Bedouin families from the Hadalin clan had been living. These families had arrived after being expelled by Israel from the northern Negev area during and after 1948. A few years later, the Nachal military outpost became the settlement of Carmel, which is home today to around 650 settlers. In 1983, Israel confiscated about 2,200 dunams of Yattaโs lands by declaring them as State Land. These lands were handed over to the settlement of Carmel and today form its โmunicipal jurisdictionโ.
Over time, the settlement expanded and became more extreme and violent. In the most recent elections, for instance, 86% of the votes there went to Ben Gvir and Smotrich. The rest were divided between Likud, Shas, and Ayelet Shaked (there used to be such a politician). In short, you get the idea of the type of settlement and settlers weโre talking about.
Meanwhile, the Palestinian village of Umm al-Kheir also grew โ despite the army and Civil Administrationโs ongoing attempts to choke the community through lack of planning, denial of basic infrastructure, repeated raids, and house demolitions. As a result, these two communities have been living just a few dozens of meters apart for decades. Nowhere else in the West Bank settlers and Palestinians live in such proximity.
Despite this close proximity, the disparity in quality of life between the two communities is unfathomable. A visit to the area โ no matter which side of the fence you stand on โ is the kind of sight that wounds both the eyes and the heart. Assuming you have one.
This situation is the result of deliberate policy, from which countless administrative and planning decisions have stemmed. One of them was to expropriate the lands surrounding the village of Umm al-Kheir in a way that would suffocate the village and its residentsโ ability to live off agriculture and herding. And since these lands were seized and transferred to the settlers, they can now do whatever they want with them โ including build something 30 meters away from the village homes. Their โright,โ no?
And when settlers want to build, they hire people like Yinon Levy, who makes his living from this system. And what do people like Yinon Levy do when working near Palestinian villages? They deliberately drive their bulldozers into privately owned Palestinian land โ not yet officially expropriated โ in order to provoke, humiliate, and destroy. And when tensions rise, what do people like Levy do? They draw their pistols, start shooting โ and sometimes kill someone who happened to be 30 meters away, someone who posed no threat.
Yinon Levy is just a contractor โ a particularly violent one โ whose job is to execute the policy that every Israeli government since 1967 has promoted in one form or another. That policy is called apartheid in every other part of the world. And that apartheid is gradually shifting into a policy of ethnic cleansing. Thatโs why Odeh Hadalin lies dead, while Yinon Levy smiles in court and now sits comfortably at home. Yinon Levy knows that if heโs punished at all, the sentence will be laughable. He knows the apartheid regime will ensure its contractors can continue rampaging โ and occasionally, shooting and killing along the way.

Odeh Hathalin, qui avait tournรฉ des images du documentaire israรฉlo-palestinien oscarisรฉ, a รฉtรฉ tuรฉ par balle lundi 28 juillet. Le tireur est Yinon Levi, un colon extrรฉmiste sous le coup de sanctions internationales. Depuis l'Oscar dรฉcernรฉ en mars dernier, lโรฉquipe du documentaire No Other Land, qui montre le sort des villages de bergers palestiniens de la vallรฉe de Massafer Yatta, en Cisjordanie, sous les violences des colons et de lโarmรฉe israรฉlienne, paie trรจs cher ce coup de projecteur. La France a condamnรฉ ce meurtre ยซ avec la plus grande fermetรฉ ainsi que toutes les violences dรฉlibรฉrรฉes perpรฉtrรฉes par des colons extrรฉmistes ยป affirmant que "ces violences sont des actes de terrorisme". Pourtant, ces derniers semblent bien protรฉgรฉs de toute accusation. Trois semaines aprรจs l'oscar, lโun des rรฉalisateurs, le Palestinien Hamdan Ballal, qui habite la rรฉgion, est lynchรฉ par des colons puis arrรชtรฉ par des soldats israรฉliens durant son รฉvacuation en ambulance, avant dโรชtre relรขchรฉ 24h plus tard. Lโoscar โne mโa pas protรฉgรฉ de la violenceโ, รฉcrira-t-il dans une tribune publiรฉe par The New York Times. Lundi 28 juillet, cโest un autre palestinien de lโรฉquipe de No Other Land, lui aussi de la rรฉgion, qui a รฉtรฉ victime de cette violence. Mais Odeh Hathalin, militant de la cause de Massafer Yatta, qui a tournรฉ certaines des images du documentaire, lโa, lui, payรฉ de sa vie, raconte le mรฉdia israรฉlo-palestinien +972 Magazine, auquel collaborait Hathalin, ainsi que deux des autres rรฉalisateurs du documentaire, lโIsraรฉlien Yuval Abraham et le Palestinien Basel Adra. Le 28 juillet, aux alentours de 17 h 25, un homme entre dans le village dโUmm Al-Khair, dans la rรฉgion de Massafer Yatta, avec un bulldozer, selon le rรฉcit fait par le site dโinformation. Cet homme, cโest Yinon Levi, un colon โbien connu des Palestiniens de la rรฉgionโ. Fondateur dโun avant-poste illรฉgal dans la rรฉgion et gรฉrant dโune entreprise de terrassement, il a รฉtรฉ reconnu coupable de plusieurs โattaques violentes dans des communautรฉs palestiniennes visant ร les chasser de leurs terresโ, ce qui lui a valu dโรชtre sanctionnรฉ par lโUE et lโadministration Biden, des sanctions US annulรฉes par lโadministration Trump. Ce bulldozer dรฉtruit alors la clรดture, la conduite dโeau principale et les oliviers du village, puis lโhomme sโen prend ร un cousin dโOdeh Hathalin. En rรฉaction, des habitants commencent ร jeter des pierres sur le bulldozer. Yinon Levi court alors vers eux, frappe lโun dโeux qui le filmait avec la crosse de son pistolet avant de tirer des coups de feu en leur direction, poursuit +972 Magazine. Une balles atteint Odeh Hathalin au poumon, il meurt dans lโambulance en route pour lโhรดpital. La police israรฉlienne a ouvert une enquรชte et a arrรชtรฉ Yinon Levi. Il a รฉtรฉ placรฉ en rรฉsidence surveillรฉe en attendant la suite de la procรฉdure. Odeh Hathalin "a considรฉrablement servi sa communautรฉ, plus que quiconque", dรฉclare un autre de ses cousins. "Chaque jour, il ลuvrait pour nos droits. Il lโa payรฉ de son sang et aujourdโhui, de sa vie." Depuis le dรฉbut de la guerre ร Gaza, prรจs dโun millier de Palestiniens, en majoritรฉ des civils, ont รฉtรฉ tuรฉs en Cisjordanie par des soldats israรฉliens ou des colons. Dans le dernier article quโil a signรฉ, datant de juillet 2024, pour +972 Magazine, Odeh Hathalin รฉcrivait : "ร Umm Al-Khair, lโoccupation nous condamne ร un traumatisme multigรฉnรฉrationnel."

Is the Country and the World ready for the next #space #disaster from either #SpaceX or #BlueOrigin? Putting humans atop giant roman candles and hurdling them off into space is hard, and it is dangerous, and the fact that neither of these Companies has lost a life yet doesn't mean they won't tomorrow (or the next day).
Complacency is a cancer, and we (the collective us) have become complacent, just assuming that SpaceX builds perfect launching machines.
A disaster is coming. I don't know when, but I do know when it happens lives will be lost and lives will be changed.

A pair of #JeffreyEpsteinโs victims blasted the #Trump admin & the #DOJ for their attempts to unseal grand jury testimony in the #criminal case against the late financier, saying govt officials havenโt listened to the voices of people who were harmed by his actions.
The 2 victims, who werenโt identified, asked in separate letters filed in a Manhattan court Monday, that any files related to Epstein be reviewed to protect their privacyโฆ.
In one of the letters, an #Epstein victim [#survivor] said they were writing โin disdain, disgust & fearโ of how the #DOJ has dealt with the promise to release information in the case, saying the situation should have been handled with โmore respect towards & for the victims.โ
โI am not some pawn in your political warfare,โ said the *victim. โWhat you have done & continue to do is eating at me day after day as you help to perpetuate this story indefinitely. Why not be completely transparent? Show us all the files with only the necessary redactions! Be done with it & allow me/us to heal. You protect yourself & your powerful & wealthy โfriendsโ (not enemies) over the victims, why?โ
The #US on July 18 asked US District Judges Richard M. Berman & Paul Engelmayer to release transcripts of the proceedings in the case against #Epstein & his associate, #GhislaineMaxwell, & both judges have given *victims until Tuesday to respond to the requests.
Natalie Baldassarre, a spox for the #DOJ declined to comment. #Trump has acknowledged a friendship with Epstein, but says it ended years before Epsteinโs death.
Bloomberg News reported last week that the #FBI redacted Trumpโs name & those of other high-profile individuals from govt files related to #JeffreyEpstein, citing 3 people familiar w/the matterโฆ.The names were withheld under privacy protections because those individuals, including #Trump, were private citizens when the federal investigation into #Epstein began in 2006, the people said.
Another *victim asked Berman to have a third party review any documents to ensure no victimsโ names or likenesses are revealed through the process, saying that it appeared the #DOJโs priority is to protect โwealthy men.โ
โTo learn that our own president has utilized thousands of agents to protect his identity & these high-profile individuals is monumentally mind-blowing,โ the victim wrote. โThat is their focus? Wow!โ
One of the most effective misinformation tactics antivaxxers use is to quote legitimate news sources out-of-context in order to convey a biased narrative.
Studies suggest that news editors often contribute to this problem by publishing clickbait headlines that are easily weaponized by antivaxxers.
"Top health expert says vaccinated people are spreading Covid variant" is a headline that was often used by major outlets.
The full context in the article was: "Data shows that vaccines reduce transmission. However, some experts warn that vaccinated individuals may still be capable of contracting & transmitting Covid."
Given that presenting legitimate sources out of context has been shown to be a prevalent and effective misinformation tactic, it is critical that news editors stop undermining their science writers by using clickbait headlines that strip articles of much needed nuance and context.

if modern slavery is enforced on us by things like surveillance cameras, cellphone addiction, drugs, dna manipulation, school indoctrination and oppression
we can free ourselves by attacking each one of these elements
surveillance cameras can be physically destroyed our outsmarted by masks, etc
we attack cellphone addiction by going onto cellphones, advising users
avoid drugs, esp "meds"
dna manipulation is avoided by rejecting vaccines
school indoctrination is addressed by home schooling
