These kidnapings are no different than NK. In the past, when NK wanted supplies or money, they would fired some missiles in into the see. Now, they use hacking to ron banks and steal bitcoin.

The Nigerian rebels are using the same racket for ransoms to pay their fighters and resupply.

Posted in: MH370 disappeared a decade ago. Here's what we know about one of aviation's biggest mysteries See in context

The problem was the poor construction of the airplane. You simply need to see the news in the past year about BOEING doors falling off, missing bolts, rushed construction, and bad sensors. A bad single sensor was the biggest issue with that particular plane. That single sensor that could easily be destroyed by balloons or birds determined if the planes nose was level, faced up or down. When that sensor breaks, the plane automatically becomes automatically unlevel because the company added massive engines to that particular plane that made it fly uneven in flight. That one sensor was the only thing keeping the plane level.

Posted in: Palestinians in Gaza struggle to follow Israeli evacuation order and face dire water shortage See in context

According to the Jerusalem Post, in a private meeting with members of his Likud party on March 11, 2019, Netanyahu explained the reckless step as follows: The money transfer is part of the strategy to divide the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. Anyone who opposes the establishment of a Palestinian state needs to support the transfer of the money from Qatar to Hamas. In that way, we will foil the establishment of a Palestinian state (as reported in former cabinet member Haim Ramon’s Hebrew-language book “Neged Haruach”, p. 417).

Since both the US and Egypt both told Bibi, it hard to belief the IDF was not aware. Bibi allowed this to happen to have his 9/11 moment to solidify his support.

George Jr. was a terrible president ans would have been a one-term president (His brother cheated for him in Florida to win the first term). 9/11 unified the nation behind him, and allowed him to attack Iraq without much push back despite Saddam having nothing to do with the terrorist attack.

Bibi wants an excuse to commit genocide. Since most Israelis are descended from European converts, they brought with the lessons of brutality with them handed out by the Nazis and other European factions.

Now, they ar doing the same to the Palestinians. It is generational abuse.

Embarrassing for a supposedly enlightened democracy like Australia that there are so many anti-Semites who crawl out of the sewers on occasion. However, they ARE free to express themselves, the police need no extra powers. The most important power is that of public opinion. Name and shame anyone who attended such a rally and let them suffer the consequences.

As for Gaza, I dont seem to remember Israel doing anything but pull OUT of Gaza about 15 years ago. Since then, the Gazans have been playing footsie with Hamas, letting the cancer in their midst grow and prosper. Now sadly, they will have to pay the price.

Shows how much you know!

Ironically, many of the South Afrikaans that was part of the Apartheid regime in South Africa then converted Judaism at the end of South Afrikaan Apartheid and moved to Israel and make up a large percentage of the illegal settlers occupying Palestinian territory. When you see Israeli settlers stealing Palestinian homes and territory, that was converts from not only Europe but also former South Afrikaans. This explains some of the Apartheid tactics and abuse. European converts from Germany and Russia that experienced abuse from Nazi Germany along White South Afrikaans that committed abuse against Black South Africans all living in a country to abuse the indigenous residence.

and

Let's not also forget Israel (European converts) was also caught temporarily sterilizing Black Jews against there will or without their consent from East Africa (genetically descended form the original tribes).

According to PBS News Hour, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for the immediate deportation of Eritrean migrants involved in a violent clash in Tel Aviv and has initiated a plan to remove all African migrants from the country on Sept. 3.

In order for Netanyahu to “declare war”, he’d have to acknowledge Palestine is a sovereign nation.

And if that’s the case, he & Israel have been invading a sovereign nation & every single semblance of violence in Palestinian territory has been by definition an act of terror.

Posted in: Robert F Kennedy Jr's independent run for president draws GOP criticism and silence from national Democrats See in context

This far-left Democrat will actually syphon off some of the conspiracy theorists and wackos from the GOP and Democrats. This will hurt some of Trump's base. They love playing victim by being on the losing team while believing they are the smartest people in the room.

Unfortunately, the conspiracists are only a small percentage of the "Coalition of the Despicable" supporting the MAGA movement. There is too much intersectionality with the GOP criminality, low-educated whites, and racists. Not all GOP are racists, but most racists in the US identify as the GOP/Independents!

Defeating a Trump nomination means making moderate GOP voters feel too embarrassed to vote for Trump. Of course, this will not apply to the MAGA faithful.

Look up Prager U - The Middle East Problem on youtube. Even a 10 year old can understand.

PragerU, a right-wing advocacy group long criticized for its content being “misleading” or factually inaccurate. Its videos have prompted even more backlash online since PragerU CEO Marissa Streit announced last month that the group is partnering with the state of Florida as an education vendor to provide supplemental lessons. 

Among the PragerU Kids videos making the rounds on social media is one called “Leo & Layla Meet Frederick Douglass,” in which a pair of children go back in time and meet an animated depiction of Frederick Douglass. In the video, Douglass, an abolitionist who devoted his life to anti-slavery efforts, describes slavery as a compromise between the Founding Fathers and the Southern colonies for the benefit of the U.S. The depiction also criticizes fellow abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison. 

We see where DeSantis gets his African American education programs from!

We also see why conservatives do not understand or support Israel's Nazis tactics on the Palestinians. They are using the same tactics used against the Jews in Nazi Germany since most of Israel is composed of German/Russian converts. Of course, they have no sympathy for the indigenous people of the land.

Posted in: China's Evergrande resumes Hong Kong trading See in context

Chinese real estate is a scam. Typically, it is a ponzi scheme. People pay for the construction in advance. That money goes towards building the residence of an earlier customer. The current customers residence will start construction when the company sells residences to new customers. That is in addition to other companies building high residences that not many families bought because of the poor economy and the ponzi scheme mentioned earlier that caused many projects to be unfinished and abandoned. Who wants to live in a high rise that is not completely built. These are investments. Also, a lack completion means the surrounding area has not been developed. Where are the grocery stores, entertainment areas, transportation services, or other conveniences? These places often looks like dytopian city like in the movie I am Legend.

If you were one of the initial buyers who paid in advanced or took out a loan, then you are screwed. You may (no conveniences in the area) or may not (have to pay rent somewhere else) be able to live in it, and you are guaranteed to loose money if or when you are able to sell the residence.

Posted in: China releases TV documentary showcasing army's ability to attack Taiwan See in context

If China wins, the landings will only take place after China has won and Taiwan surrenders. The attack is just TV drama.

Very big "if"

You forget the 'competence factor.' The same reason that Ukraine has defeated an initial 3-day jaunt from Russia, that a small group of US special forces defeated an entire Wagner army iin Syria, and India has been spanking China with their border dispute skirmishes.

China would not be able to handle any type of assault with missiles on mainland China. The structures will fall like a house cards from the faulty construction or go up in flames from the other health risks.

The US marines has been preparing:

"NMESIS is the solution for the ground-based anti-ship missile capability," Staff Sgt. Derek Reddy, NMESIS team leader for the unit involved, said a video release. The June exercise was "absolutely imperative" and will help "set forth expectations" for the weapon's future use, Reddy added.

The CCP is so out of touch that they need to make fictional movies to support reality. The truth is the ChInese economy is declining. Their ally in Russia is losing a supposedly "3-day" war. By association, it makes them look bad and weak as well. The US has been sending ships around areas illegally claimed as their own, and China has done nothing but complain. They were ran off by 4 destroyers and air support off the cost of Alaska last week.

Like Russia, NK, and the US under Trump; the unemployment rate for young adults is at an all time high. The only reason that the Chinese population allows the CCP to continue was because of the promises.

The propaganda to rev-up nationalism is only to distract the masses from all the divestment happening and poor economic numbers.

One of the most important reasons why Biden is a better choice than Trump. Like most Democratic administrations, the Biden administration has improved the economy after the GOP ruins it.

The GOP are always desperately ready to cheat during the elections to exploit the healthy economies rebuilt by Democrats.

Posted in: Trump charged over efforts to overturn 2020 election See in context

Is a hell of a leap in a court of law.

There is a scatter gun approach in a vain hope that something must surely stick

Nope!

Special counsel Jack Smith is probing whether Trump, Eastman or other allies broke laws in their bid to subvert the election, and he’s hauled in an astonishing string of high-level Trump aides and allies, including former Vice President Mike Pence, to testify before a grand jury. And a federal judge has already declared that Eastman and Trump likely joined a criminal conspiracy to subvert the 2020 election. But bar proceedings for Eastman has helped shine a public light on the shadowy orbit of lawyers who sought to aid his effort to cling to power.

Rudy Giuliani’s law license was suspended in Washington, D.C. after bar proceedings found him culpable for misconduct in his efforts to overturn Pennsylvania’s votes. Jenna Ellis admitted to making numerous false statements about election fraud during her own negotiations with Colorado bar authorities. And similar proceedings are pending against former Justice Department attorney Jeff Clark, who has been fighting to get federal courts to intervene in the process.

Next week when more dots are connected, particularly off shore accounts, just watch for more indictments against Trump.

They will next look at the use of campaign funds and donations being redirected to family members, the Trump hotels, and his legal defense.

It will get interesting because now Jared and Ivanka will be sucked backed in. Jared has 2 billion reasons to be concerned. Unfortunately, this will also suck in poor Tiffany Trump AKA the 'Jane Brady' of the Trump family.

Like a previous poster mentioned:

‘Just say that the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me’

> On Dec. 27, 2020, Trump called the then-acting Attorney General Jeffery Rosen and the then-acting Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue and “raised multiple false claims” about the election, according to the indictment.

“When the Acting Attorney General told the Defendant that the Justice Department could not and would not change the outcome of the election, the Defendant responded, ‘Just say that the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republican congressmen,’” the indictment states.

Let's not forget the other Trump quote that has not aged well: 'Too honest'

According to the indictment, on Jan. 1, 2021, Trump called Pence to berate him for not going along with a plan to have him reject the certification of the Electoral College vote showing Joe Biden had won the election.

> “The Vice President responded that he thought there was no constitutional basis for such authority and that it was improper,” the indictment states. “In response, the Defendant [Trump] told the Vice President, ‘you’re too honest.’”

'Intent' will be a lot easier to prove than people realize even though he is not being charged for 'intent.'

He is being charged with 'conspiracy' which is even easier to prove and overlaps with the other case in Georgia!

Oh, ooooooh!

Now some of the details from of the witnesses in this new indictment:

The indictment against Donald Trump released by the DOJ on Tuesday contains a number of new details, including emails and text messages sent by the former president and his alleged co-conspirators in the wake of the 2020 election, as well as some of the more vocal skeptics in Trump’s orbit.

One email cited on page 13 of the 45-page indictment offers a look at the frustration expressed by some of Trump’s campaign staff over the effort to subvert the election results.

> The email was sent on Dec. 8, 2020, by an unnamed senior Trump campaign adviser who, according to the indictment, “spoke with the Defendant on a daily basis and had informed him on multiple occasions that various fraud claims were untrue,” including the charge promoted by Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani that a large number of dead voters had cast ballots in Georgia.

> *"When our research and campaign legal team can't back up any of the claims made by our Elite Strike Force Legal Team, you can see why we're 0-32 on our cases,” the email reads. “I'll obviously hustle to help on all fronts, but it's tough to own any of this when it's all just **conspiracy st*** beamed down from the mothership."

Former Vice President Mike Pence issued a statement following the news of Trump's latest indictment:

“Today's indictment serves as an important reminder: Anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be president of the United States.

"Our country is more important than one man. Our constitution is more important than any one man’s career.

News update: This just gets better!

While Trump is set to appear before a federal magistrate judge on Thursday, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, has been assigned to oversee this case.

She has delivered harsh sentences to Jan. 6 defendants, being the only federal judge to assign them sentences longer than the government requested. Chutkan has previously ruled against Trump, including when she denied his plea to withhold records from the House select committee’s investigation into the Jan. 6 insurrection.
