People have been posting updates on the us buildup near Venezuela. Ft did a article with nice graphics in the same vein https://www.ft.com/content/dc10dbae-14e6-4819-97ef-9df7cd1a2d01

Doubt

Im not doubting the veracity of it but the opioids in flour thing with the "humanitarian" aid in Gaza is bizarre. Part of me thinks that the jackbooted mercs were smuggling drugs on the side and mixed up the bags like a bunch of idiots.

Edit. Thinking more w my tinfoil hat. western intelligence agency's/governments might care less about how this new organization is meant to control gazans and just want another black box for laundering money or we. The "charity" is way more opaque than things like the world food program or unwrap.

• I assume they'll start off with just Intelligence support, the flying fuel tankers, things like that

They are doing all of those thing + running sorties to intercept Iranian drones. They also operate early warning radar stations throughout the region that are tracking Iranian ballistic missiles. the us is doing everything besides launching ground attack missions.

I think it will just subsume into the current prison industrial slave labor cohort. The application of that labor will probably broaden to fill the gaps.

I mean there was a law in the bush era in one of the southern states going after undocumented laborers and agri businesses had to shut it down. Forget where it was. But it was dog catching the car moment that hit the wall of capital interests.

Slow news weekend. More tinfoil hat is they want to move on from CEO killer.

I'm more inclined to believe people's brains are so mush to believe the drone story and it is good for ratings.

The FBI published an Overview of the U.S. Government’s Terrorist Watchlisting Process and Procedures. This document advances transparency by providing a general description of this system and mechanisms to ensure that concerns about it are handled in a timely and fair manner.

Including this, as a way you have helped Muslim Americans, is a micro aggression, no?(idk a better term)

I typed up a electoralism brain(gross I know) rant about polling in reply to [@Parzivus@hexbear.net (https://hexbear.net/u/Parzivus) bc I'm poster brained.

I mean yea, it's bad bc Dems need to lead like 3ish% on national polls bc electoral college. Also people, I'm talking generally not saying this is you, wish cast polling errors oh it was wrong in favor of trump(2016) or it was wrong in favor of Dems(2022). When in reality there usually very specific errors in the polling. In 2016 people though Texas would flip bc bad polling practices in heavily Hispanic areas or in 22 putting too much weight in junk pollsters. Even with those errors if you actually look at polls say in 2016 the week of election polls had Clinton up on average around 3% and the margin of error on those polls were like +-1.7-3.5%. She won the popular vote by 2.1%, a result well with the margins of polling.

Like poor analysis in media is a given, the polling is for the most part very sound

Sorry I don't really have an outlet to talk politics shit. I typed all this out so I may as well post. I kinda rant some times on here, Im hating on you.

I'm just a chronic polling defender bc

I think people are coping. Most security failures are individuals not practicing correct infosec, can be just a single slip up. Like one guy in his entourage has a compromised phone and he is shit out of luck.

Honestly, does whining about this shit not turn off more voters than the usual no tv/media coverage ignoring. It really just feels like the petulant tantrum of the lanyard class. Like Kamala is gonna win because Trump and vance are prob the worst candidates you could possibly imagine. Take your win and shut up JFC. Unbearable cryGenocidaires

somehow exposing everyone else by saying the least controversial shit is a great bit

I think sjw really needs to be considered for defed. Maybe I'm just reading the room wrong but lemmee and ml seems to have chilled since the first week idk. I've yet to see a good take from programmer one outside of niche focused discussions on non political things (tech support, piracy ect.)

Edit: there is someone from the programmer one being chill and nice in this thread
