The US must defeat CIA?
U.S. can't even stop mass shootings in its own country.
if US schools were over strategic resources you'd bet they'd try though
no the shootings are a good excuse for privatization
Yup. Damaging trust in public education is a major point of campaigns spearheaded by pro-privatization think tanks. The forums that school shooters tend to frequent also have a tremendous fucking cash flow in their crypto wallets. It’s not direct coordination, but you can see the superstructure forming a bed for these economic interests to lay in.
Or putting cops to arrest and traumatize kids!!
I really hope AMLO has the military under his control
He's in a detente with them, but they've absolutely got their own agenda. Very real possibility he gets Lula'd or Allende'd out of office.
Okay, legalize drugs
This is why as bad as the cartels are, AMLO is hesitant to designate them as terrorists
Barr deserves an in person meeting with those drug cartels for getting Iran Contra criminals in the US pardoned.
The US wants to defeat itself?
William P. Barr
:epstein:
To be fair, both ISIS and the cartels go out of their way to come up with the most cartoonishly evil execution methods. Not that the American state doesn’t either considering lethal injection and all the black site torture, but at least the mob just shot, stabbed, and garroted people without any funky town beheading nonsense
Yeah the reality is that those cartoonishly evil execution methods were pioneered by counter-insurgents and anti-communists to spread horror on the third world, and they soon found themselves out of a job and quickly picked up by blooming criminal enterprises.
Just like how nazis found jobs doing anti leftist counterinsurgency in Latin America, it is an old tradition of capitalism to use broken people to break more people
the American mafia
5th-generation Italian-Americans sitting around a room eating sandwiches, and occasionally murdering someone for like $10,000 tops, and occasionally murdering each other.
Listen, Peppino Spaghetti is a huge threat to national security

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
-
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
