Incredulity

Of course there isn’t. You made a direct claim about what Zuck said under subpoena. Then stated you are, “relatively certain” what he said because nothing appears in a case related to his company. classic lawyering. Relatively certain till the bill comes

How about 15 million people over the Southern Border in 4 years. All while gaslighting anyone and everyone that its a problem.

Yes, a lawyer talking about, “relative certainty” is the exact type of rock solid data that I hang my hat on.

sorry to hear that. I was just venting/commenting openly not trying to attack you. So I apologize if that came off as anything personal.

lets be real If I wasn't already angry enough to murder someone a bus ride from ATL to NYC would probably do it.

Frankly, your post prodded me to call my mother yesterday evening just to connect with her. We are in regular contact and have a solid relationship. I get some people don't have decent people as parents, but it slapped me in the face and made me thankful for what I have. I don't agree with her on everything either. Run into a cold bucket of water around here sometimes. Similar happened to me on the divorce thread.

Really? So your source is that if Zuck did testify as such it would have been included. Strong, really, really strong. You make a living at this? LOL.

Quote it. I don’t see any reference to Zuck testimony on the pages you referenced here

Nothing quite like a little homophobia from team woke. Right on brand from the fucking hypocrites.

Yes it really has https://www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/politics/zuckerberg-says-the-white-house-pressured-facebook-to-censor-some-covid-19-content-during-the-pandemic

Totally agree. problem is when the deplatforming is at the express instruction of the government.

Really? https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/in-depth-research-reports/report/2023-annual-report-how-programs-shaped-the-global-future/#eurasia In 2023, the GeoTech Center deepened its programmatic work on commercial space, artificial intelligence (AI), and government capacity building. sounds not remotely associated with government

He says he’s Jewish. So I guess he could be Neo-Nazi Jewish, but that’s pretty rare.

If someone is going to be held to a professional standard it’s probably rational that they are actually functioning as such. Certainly many seek information that confirms their bias. Did people on the left give a “good goddamn” when they got information from the guy, as he put it, “followed a show of puppets making phone calls”.

I’m unaware of Rogan or any of the rest of the comedy adjacent podcast world representing themselves as journalists. Part of the reason I don’t normally listen to most of Rogans podcasts is he doesn’t actually do much interviewing of the guests. It’s mostly guests talking, with affirmative grunts by Rogan. Generally I think exposure to ideas and opinions outweighs any downside of individuals taking the verbal essays of the guests as hard facts. There is definitely a need for journalists to practice that interview in your described format, especially in the political sphere. However, individuals actually doing that are in quite frankly in very short supply.

Go hump someone else’s leg. Fucking bitchass

I walked an DR Horton "Express" home a couple years ago helping a friend look for a home. What a pile of garbage.

I'm not ignoring anything and for the 5th time he isn't my guy. He has an interesting perspective. There were definitely internet censorship fuck fuck games, as laid out in Twitter files. Halloween Massacre in 1979. Carter Administration eliminated a significant number of clandestine staff. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stansfield_Turner President Carter wanted reforms on the intelligence agencies, whose reputations were discredited due to the Watergate scandal (Church Commission), and other controversies that involved spying on citizens, against the antiwar movement and other dissident groups in the United States, and international assassination plots (Human rights violations by the CIA).[13] Turner sought to revamp the Agency in several ways, first appointing several high-ranking naval officers, known as the "Navy mafia", to leadership positions and also by fundamentally altering the Agency's traditional methods of intelligence collection.[14] Under Turner's direction, the CIA emphasized technical intelligence (TECHINT) and signals intelligence (SIGINT) over human intelligence (HUMINT).[10] In 1979, Turner eliminated over 800 operational positions, most of them in the clandestine service, in what was dubbed the Halloween Massacre.[15] In a memoir published in 2005, Turner expressed regret for the dismissals stating, "In retrospect, I probably should not have effected the reductions of 820 positions at all, and certainly not the last 17."[16] The reductions applied to Vietnam-era personnel according to later-era employee and novelist Jason Matthews.[17] Turner also oversaw the beginning of Operation Cyclone, the CIA's program to arm Afghan guerrillas in their fight against the Soviet Union.[18]

Awesome post. RE #1. Benz talks about NGO's(specifically AtlanticCouncil) being government creations to circumvent State Dept/CIA restructuring imposed by Carter based on blowback from 60's overreach. Whats your reaction to that claim?

not really. yes they went through a bankruptcy, but it was Fed Gov orchestrated soup to nuts and did have really any creative destruction dynamics found in a normal bankruptcy.
