You really can't overstate this plain truth, and people will still cling to the illusion of freedom.

Was he on that island discussing whether the billionaires could keep their security detail loyal with shock collars?

Ellison is the world's sixth-richest man with a net worth of $157 billion, according to Bloomberg.

They are really concerned when people tire of their children dying from hunger and easily treatable diseases, we'll be coming for them. But rather than give up an iota of the money generations can never spend for our ecology and things people need to live, they resort to things like shock collars and surveillance states.

Not to mention diseases that are about to hit. It blows my mind that people who had this done to them are doing it to their neighbors; and that people who fought a global war to say it's reprehensible send them weapons, and repeat excuses they know are lies.

That was a crazy read. People have invited me to vacation in Miami. Thanks, I'm good

Tennessee lawmakers are throwing $415 million into their Multi-Agency Law Enforcement Training Academy, an 800-acre facility to be built ina historically Black Nashville neighborhood currently experiencing a housing crisis, extreme displacement and gentrification, according to Erica Perry, executive director of Nashville’s Southern Movement Committee. “$415 million is a huge amount of money, especially in a state where we ranked low in health, literacy, education and housing,” Perry said. “That’s extremely frustrating because we know that money could be spent on things that would help people have healthy, thriving, safe lives.” In response, the Southern Movement Committee began advocating for a proposed $10 million investment in the creation of an office of youth safety, community centers and alternatives to police in schools — programs they say the community actually needs. In June, $1 million of this budget was approved by Nashville City Council. Activists in Chicago have shared similar concerns. In the years before the planning of its Cop Academy in 2017, the city had seen the closure of half its mental health clinics, as well as the then-largest sweep of school closings in U.S. history. Naturally, many residents were outraged when the new multi-million dollar police training facility was announced, especially considering the Chicago Police Department already had seven other training facilities in the area. “Why is there suddenly this new investment available when we were told that the city was broke, when we were asking for investments in our own communities?” asked Benji Hart, an adult ally with the youth-led No Cop Academy Coalition.

Thanks for posting this. There are several links for donation here if anyone can spare it and feels inclined.

They murdered Fred, while he was sleeping next to his pregnant girlfriend. Then blamed him.

Thanks. That's a liberal (sorry, I couldn't resist) definition of socialism he used there too, even allowing for the "national" qualifier.

It seems I read once that "socialist" was just in the party name to garner support of those who would be supportive of socialist values. I can't recall the publication, but wonder if that's true?

ROFL. Some kids from ACE schools might remind you of some of his clients. I'll say it again: sociopaths are made.

Wait till you hear about evangelical ACE schools.

Testament of Solomon is absolutely wild, if read literally, and probably where Hollywood got a lot movie ideas related to the Knights Templar. It's not so wild if you read it as early attempts to reconcile different parts of our personalities with each other (body, temple, schism, integration, etc).
