Did you know? Barack Obama personally funded the construction of a Doctors Without Borders Hospital in the city of Kunduz. Look up Barack Obama Kunduz Trauma Centre for more information

Did you know? A new Mortal Kombat game was just announced! Look up Project MKUltra.

Did you know? Klondike bars were invented in a prison in Philadelphia. Look up Holmesburg Prison Klondike Cell.

I need to read acres of skin . There is no country that can surpass the US's crimes against humanity.

The Ruby Ridge standoff was the siege of a cabin occupied by the Weaver family in Boundary County, Idaho, in August 1992. On August 21, deputies of the United States Marshals Service (USMS) came to arrest Randy Weaver under a bench warrant for his failure to appear on federal firearms charges after he was given the wrong court date.^[1]^ The charges stemmed from Weaver's sale of a sawed-off shotgun to an undercover federal informant, who had entrapped him to modify the firearm below the legal barrel length.^[2]^

Operation Northwoods was a proposed false flag operation which originated within the Department of Defense of the US government in 1962. The proposals called for Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operatives to both stage and commit acts of terrorism against US military and civilian targets, blame them on the Cuban government, and use them to justify a war against Cuba.

Project Mockingbird was a wiretapping operation initiated by United States President John F. Kennedy to identify the sources of government leaks by eavesdropping on the communications of journalists.^[1]^^[2]^

Check this one out dudettes & duderinos ! In the 80s, the Philadelphia police department moved a bunch of dangerous bombs away from a civilian center! Look up “1985 Philadelphia move bombing” for more cool epic factoids!

Stop Operation Mockingbird is a protest at the Billionaires SummerCamp in Sun Valley, Idaho. It's were all the CEO's of the media companies meet each year to consolidate the industry and plan the years narrative. It happens every year since 1983, shortly after the 4th of July. It's the perfect time and place for a real protest. There are only 3 ways in and out, and the only airport in Hailey is a slow drive to the Sun Valley Lodge. 1000 protestors would shutdown the entire operation.

Sun Valley, Idaho is a small skiing town surrounded by the Sawtooth National Forest, with ample camping, hiking, biking and other recreational opportunities. I've camped outside of town each year for 6 years of protesting. Hoping this year the rest of you show up!

You know, looking into these, I did learn things.

Yes, I already knew about them, but I didn't know all of it. For one thing, I didn't realize where Ruby Ridge actually was. I used to live about an hour's drive away from there, and I've actually been within 10 miles of there without knowing it!

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 week ago

all of these touch our lives in some way; which is probably why they're so heavily ignored by our media.

[-] dessalines@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 week ago

There's another extensive US forest service bird program everyone should check out called Operation Condor

[-] asdasd201@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 1 week ago

I know what they are, but I wish the meme was the reality instead.

I wanted to get involved in a community project around Manhattan. Is there anything good going on?

[-] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago

The name is actually misleading. Try wandering around deserts and waitinf for a loud noise

[-] Digit@lemmy.wtf 12 points 1 week ago

Could make more of these helpful public service announcements all day long...

The US Office of Educational Technology may have free computers for you. Research "Project Blue Beam".

The US National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect have a money back scheme you're likely eligible for. Research "Operation Lockstep".

Did you know the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development now offer free housing and renovations. Research "Project Monarch".

Canada encourages amateur astronomy: google starlight tours!

[-] Digit@lemmy.wtf 7 points 1 week ago

Genius.

Think that'll work on those incurious enough to still not know of such things?

[-] RiverRock@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

There's been an extensive research effort to save fuel by building busses and trains in a way that minimizes air friction. Check out "Operation Aerodynamic" to learn more.
