Prosecutors: Man who rammed U-Haul near White House sought to end US democracy

I could not find that alleged quote by the younger Donald John Trump Jr, maybe the tweet got deleted or it was part of a long tv interview.

However the India person's pic is one of the most brown, tanned looking 'White Supremacists' I have ever seen. Even so 'Nazi' and Indian Hindu culture is not that far removed, many peoples from other nations like Iran or India consider themselves 'Aryan' there was a movement of Nazi in India during WW2, Indian National Army, Indische Legion and Battaglione Hindoustan India libera. Many Indian wanted to be independent of the British they got support from Germany or Japan or the Indian Independence League at times allied with German or Japanese while others fought alongside with the British or Allies, a complicated history involving both Axis and Allies.

Re: Politics

Canada to start printing health warnings directly on individual cigarettes

War crimes evidence erased by social media platforms
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-65755517

I wonder did we in the Western world start to go crazy and lose common sense. Perhaps with all the media and riots and doomsday fear reports we as a people on Earth have been entering a stage of group hysteria or 'mass psychosis' as Jung describes.

There is a trending news item on social media which says 'Second Irish Famine' Will Be ‘Green’ a headline which seems to ridiculous to be true. Yet if you read statements on media it would seem that Ireland is just as crazy as any other Neo-Leftwing new Regressive Left crazy you might find in Scotland or California. Now you would think that experiencing British Imperial rule and having a Potato Failure of their own that Ireland would be aware of Famine. How can a nation self sabotage knowing its own history? Yet it looks like its possible that a 'Limousine Liberal' or 'Champagne Socialist' type one that flies a flag of Climate fear or Green and Flowers can have huge influence in Ireland politics maybe not just copying the mistakes of Netherlands or Sri Lanka but they want a mass culling of cows? Ireland logically seems to be ideal for Cows, mild, humid and somewhat changeable with abundant rainfall it can freeze and it can have rare heatwaves but overall there is a lack of temperature extremes. It's perfect for grazing animal climate matches regions where oceanic or subtropical highland climates are found like Chile in the Southern Hemisphere, parts of the USA, the Tasmanian Central Highlands, and parts of New Zealand, even if it does freeze or snow in an Irish winter the farm animal may be hardy to endure the winter so 'Cows' would naturally be an export. A cull on Cows would naturally create shortage and interfere with global market price, Ireland is a big exporter of dairy products. On 'Peta' a site that claim to be Green for example you can see headlines about saving the Cow, they say the Cow is killed to make cheese, yogurt, and ice cream, the global leather industry turns their skin into clothes and accessories, such as leather jackets, suede shoes, belts, lots of horror stories told but do they in Peta know you can not get cheese from a Cow by killing it but as a matter of fact you must keep a Cow health, alive and in good comfort for the Cow to regularly give you cheese and other dairy product? Is this type of new 'crazy' coming from the EU or coming from Ireland itself? As a policy it makes about as much sense as a village in Iceland culling and killing all their fish to 'Save the Climate'. US intelligence reports that 50.7% of Ireland's land is permanent pasture.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agriculture_in_Ireland
Maybe the people who 'know everything' also plan on killing Wildebeest or WaterBuffalo of Africa because these animals also 'fart' too much, maybe they plan on culling most the deer on Earth or do they only target Livelihood farmers?

The Irish Green Party seem to have huge influence in Irish politics, online it says 2-3 seats in Ireland, they are also inside EU or the European Parliament but the Part is growing rapidly. On wiki it says Seats won '12' in the previous election so it is rapidly expanding and just as a single Joe Lieberman can influence on US Republican or Democrat politics or a British Lib Dem individual can influence the British political scene, the minor Irish Green party already as huge influence in coalition 'King Maker' politics. If you add Irish Green Party to the bloc of other Green across the EU it now becomes a massive group, 72 seats including the French Europe Écologie les Verts and German,  Bündnis 90 Die Grünen across Europe and Ireland this new GreenCult grows.

The farmer with intelligence and wit Ireland might have to go back to the usual tried and tested way of telling governance half of their cows are in fact a 'donkey' or a horse?

Re: Politics

Mars_B4_Moon,

Former KGB agent Yuri Bezmenov described precisely how this is possible.  The KGB called it "Active Measures".  You feed people false propaganda, while asserting it's factually correct and valid, for so long that even when they're confronted with a preponderance of evidence that something is factually incorrect or not working as intended, or that they're being attacked, they're so confused by the propaganda-based indoctrination that they don't know what to do about it.  I call this "being educated into stupidity".

Some of these people might plausibly have all the relevant information in the world and they could be 10 times as smart as you or I will ever be.  The moment the subject matter touches upon an identity-based valuation statement, then purely based upon their own reactions to events or information they've been conditioned to fear or hate, they will also have serious issues accepting objective reality at-odds with their identity, because their identity became involved.  Most people can't recognize when they're being indoctrinated or conditioned to respond in a specific way, rather than educated.  The military uses this to keep people alive, but most of the time it's used for nefarious purposes.  Most people who are absolutely certain of their own core identity-based beliefs would rather die than change.  "I'm not who I think I am" is terrifying to most people, and for good reason.  That said, be ever so careful which threads you pull on and how hard you pull if you wish to undo the damage done by that indoctrination.  Radical changes and rethinking normally doesn't produce desirable outcomes.

This is why I suggested using other methods for electrification and energy storage that still involve the technologies that support the worldview of these cult followers, namely solar thermal, "heat energy batteries", and lower-cost materials.  They don't respond well to being told that their beliefs about energy / climate / environment are generally invalid.  They don't want to hear that the best course of action most of them can take is to keep doing what we've been doing, with a few small but meaningful tweaks and changes here and there, such as ending planned obsolescence, reverting back to simpler technology, and using simpler methods to achieve the same ends.  It's a basic undeniable fact that nothing humanity has ever invented consumed less energy over time.  We'll eventually be forced to use more energy-dense nuclear power sources, or huge swaths of humanity will die from lack of energy.  Agreement is not required for these statements to be factual and true.  I'm agnostic on viable methods and technologies, but I'm not agnostic on results.  All worthwhile changes value results over beliefs and ideals.

The green this / that / the other, renewable this / that / the other death cult is exactly what I just called it.  Despite how highly they think of themselves, the people teaching this regressive madness are not more intelligent than thou art, few of them actually care about the environment even if some of them are sincere, and they sure as hell don't care about other people.  It's a powerfully seductive narcissistic ideology that preys upon the worst fears of ignorant but indoctrinated people in a very cunning way that preempts a number of more sophisticated mental self-defense mechanisms from operating as they should.  There's no other explanation for thinking that buying a car powered by batteries is somehow "saving the planet".

People are not the problem, but their wildly irrational thought processes are.  When you terrify people, you get bizarre and counter-productive solutions, like thinking something that stores 1 barrel of oil equivalent energy while consuming 100 barrels of oil energy equivalent to make is a "great idea", or killing a quarter million cows to stop cow farts, or similarly ridiculous nonsense.  Someone who was rational would think that sounds like complete idiocy, but these people are no longer rational because their core identity is involved.  You cannot make logical appeals to someone who is indoctrinated and terrified.

Rocket found off Irish coast shrouded in mystery as Virgin Orbit rules out ownership

https://hypeaviation.com/story/rocket-f … ip/120508/

The debris came up stuck in a net as they were hauling.

the story is also on msn news, the photo shows part of a rocket with small engines and maybe a green looking printed circuit board. The rocket is small but heavy enough to break a pallet of wood I assume the fishermen used, the rocket and engines seem to have been rusted by sea salt, the pic shows four engines instead of one engine on Virgin's usual rocket.

Some believe it is an upper-stage from Aerojet Rocketdyne an American manufacturer of rockets Headquartered in Sacramento, California.

The debris which was discovered was thought to be an engine belonging to Virgin Orbit’s failed launch from Cornwall in January. The launch prompted warnings at the time about possible debris falling in an area off the South-West Coast of Ireland.

Re: Politics

Macron calls for an international taxation deal to finance climate efforts
https://www.politico.eu/article/france- … e-efforts/

There is some wild political news coming out but its difficult to know what is real in the war. Sometimes in those war clips you can see some Russians appear to be well trained as soldiers, in other clips you see a bunch of crazy vodka drinker gangsters and general criminal type undisciplined doing some very strange stuff.

So there is some gossip and viral stuff circulating online, the Wagner Group aka PMC Wagner a Private Russian paramilitary organization, is possibly undisciplined or filled up by a network of mercenaries, ex-convicts, some ex Military, some Vodka drinkers, criminal gangster mafia type and Felons or basically a de facto private army of Russian President Vladimir Putin or it was a private army of Putin? There are also reports that Russian military bombed their own men? It's difficult to know what is true and false in the 'Fog of War'. Prigozhin name has popped up in Western news media before saying he controls a network of influential companies, including the Russian state-backed also linked to three companies accused of interference in the 2016 and 2018 U.S. elections, the media also report news Yevgeny Prigozhin is rich, they say he is part of the 'Oligarchy'. He has been arrested in the 1970s and 1980s, before he became a person in the military or politics he was again caught stealing, and sentenced to twelve years imprisonment for robbery, fraud, and involving teenagers in crime.  In 1995, Prigozhin entered the restaurant business, hosted US President Bush junior or 43rd President George W. Bush in 2002. The FBI is offering a reward of up to $250,000 for information leading to the arrest of Prigozhin. The viral clips and rumors online say one of the top Wagner mercenary boss, which may or may not be the voice of 'Yevgeny Prigozhin' the Slogans "Blood, Honor, Homeland, Courage" he said the Ukraine War was lies but he also wants to overthrow the government and threatened mutiny. Not sure what is real in the new age of AI but Russian state media seem to confirm forces in Moscow are on 'high alert'.

This is not the first time reports of him saying strange stuff came out, he said about the commanders of the Russian army that "All these b**tards ought to be sent to the front barefoot with just a submachine gun."

It was reported in news that Igor Girkin accused Prigozhin of plotting to use the Wagner group to stage a coup within Russia and that Prigozhin was actively violating Russian 2022 war censorship laws by complaining about the Russian high command, and that his forces where practically in an active state of mutiny.  The US Treasury Department designated Prigozhin pursuant to E.O.13661 for sanctions for providing support to senior officials of the Russian Federation, family members linked to Yevgeny Prigozhin  were sanctioned by the European Union, the United States, Ukraine, and many other countries due to Prigozhin's involvement in Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Igor Girkin a critic of Prigozhin is a Russian army veteran and former Federal Security Service (FSB) officer the group which came out of the KGB in the post USSR.  Girkin, alongside fellow Russian nationalists Pavel Gubarev and Maxim Kalashnikov, formed the Club of Angry Patriots, a hardline Russian nationalist social movement aiming to push the Russian government to take more extreme pro-victory measures in the war. Girkin was reportedly detained in Crimea while attempting to travel to the frontline near Kherson, 2022 Girkin left for Ukraine in order to fight in one of the Russian volunteer units. That same month, it was reported that the Ukrainian government offered reward for his capture. It was reported in news that Igor Girkin says Prighozin 'Should Be Arrested' Igor Girkin, a self-described Russian nationalist.

Re: Politics

Mars_B4_Moon,

Garland should be the one being investigated.  We already know that Hunter Biden and Joe Biden are dirty.  I don't care about that, because they're politicians.  If they weren't dirty, they wouldn't be there.

What I want to know is, "Did either of these guys sell out America to communist China or Russia?"

Ask a question that actually needs an answer.  I don't care one little bit about Hunter Biden's tax / gun / drug issues.  I hope he gets help with his drug addiction problems, because he has children, but that's about it.  I care a lot about whether or not his daddy sold out America to the highest briber.  We have evidence that President Biden was selling classified American documents to other countries while he was still a Senator or Vice President.  I want to know what he sold, and to whom exactly he sold it.  President Trump was impeached the first time for suggesting that any investigation at all take place into what President Biden was selling to foreign nationals.

Kennedy Jr (D) or Trump (R) are the only two men I support even running for President.  Nobody else from either party has any business trying to run a country that they don't even care to try to understand.  Everyone else is another "I have great ideas" type of person with no care at all as to how what they do affects the average American, nor any concept that what they do helps or hurts America.  President Biden doesn't even have any of his own ideas anymore, which means nobody who Americans actually voted for is even running our country at this point.  I take no issue with having either of those two men as my President, because I have no questions about where their loyalties lie.  They're both basically competent, willing to do the job, and people trust them to do what is right.

Re: Politics

Kbd512, look at the democratic party's biggest doners.  What do they Merrick Garland, Chuck Schumer and (Piece of) Schiff have in common?  Hint: None of them eat bacon and all of them eat bagels.  The Democratic party and America as a whole has been hijacked by a clever, but thoroughly disgusting group of people.  Much the same has happened in the UK.  You have first ammendment rights that allows you to at least talk about this silent coup.  The UK was stripped of that freedom in 1965 by those very same bagel munchers.  Notice how the same people are doing everything they can to undermine your 1st ammendment rights and take away your guns?

Re: Politics

Calliban,

There are more Jewish people in politics because they tend to be interested in the law and have higher IQs than some random person you pull off the street.  People with high IQ will naturally be more interested in governance, law, and organization.  It's always been that simple.  That characteristic doesn't have a damn thing to do with the Jewish religion, nor any other religion or lack thereof, and it never has.  It's not a conspiracy of anything, either.  You can tell yourself stuff like this if it appeals to your sense of pride / fears / hatreds / etc, but repetition of personal belief about someone you dislike or distrust doesn't equate to truth.

Merrick Garland was probably interested in law because his father's side of the family fled the Russian pogroms.  Can you fathom why anyone would be interested in the law after their family fled the country they were born in, as a response to the lawlessness that included genocide based upon what your religion happened to be?  If so, then maybe you can understand why so many Jewish people come to America, and go on to become doctors or lawyers.  Here we value people who can understand the human body or the law or complex machines.  Religion is generally not one of the things you get persecuted for here in America, unless you're dealing with our own branches of "old world thinking" that caused America to become a country to begin with.  You can never get away from old world thinking completely.  There's always some part of it that catches up with you.

If you take some of the smartest people in a cognitive sense, not necessarily an emotional or "big picture" sense (the kind of person that fuses together all the ideas that make society and civilization work, rather than the ones who fixate on some aspect of how things work), then you'll find that most of them think communist principles are somehow egalitarian in nature.  The problem with indoctrination is that the indoctrinated conflate indoctrination with education.  Many of them don't even know the definitions of the words they use.  There are always dimwits who are merely looking for new avenues to control the lives of other people.  The most intelligent amongst us know that, for the most part, you don't have to.

So...

Virtually all of the people who think communism is such a great idea, are young and impressionable when this nonsense is taught to them.  Many of them are very bright, but they lack the sophisticated mental defenses against indoctrination that only a select few people have, regardless of their level of general intelligence.  All skill requires practice and experience.  Almost none of them have ever interacted with any real communists or lived under a communist system.  The ones who have and still think communism is a great idea are either green-eyed monsters, which adequately explains why the idea is appealing to them (they get to brutalize people), or they run away like scalded dogs with their tails between their legs (because the nature of how communism will be implemented is so shockingly brutal and appallingly callous).  It's about the same as the response to childhood abuse.  That's the best way I can explain why the idea appeals to so many so many young people that have either been bullied or are bullies.

Communists are always trying to silence their political opponents and take away our ability to defend against the violence they plan to do to us, if ever the opportunity presents itself.  We're very familiar with their modus operandi.  Nothing new there.

You know what aspect of personality / behavioral traits has no correlation, one way or another, with IQ?

Virtue.  Virtue has no relation to IQ whatsoever.  You can be as smart as a whip or as dumb as dishwater, but your virtue is in no way tied to how intelligent you.  There are virtue-less people who have genius level IQs and ones with IQs below room temperature.  IQ measures your ability to perform complex tasks, but would never be a reason why I would value someone more than someone else.  If I need you to diffuse a bomb that some evil genius built, then I'm going to need someone with a higher-than-average IQ, but very few tasks in life involve problems like that.  Knowing when to get out of your own way, and what your limitations are, is at least equally important.

Similarly...

There are more men in engineering than women, because men, on average are more interested in things.  If you select for the people who are the absolute most interested in things, then they're all going to be men.  That doesn't make men better than women.  There is no humanity without more people.  Women don't need any other "super powers".  They can just say, "I can create new life", and drop the mic.  They don't need to compete with anyone else.  Creating new life is not a competition.  It needs to be done with forethought and great care.

There are also more men than women in prison because the most aggressive people in society will always be men, not women.  That doesn't make men less virtuous than women.  Sometimes you need the most violent and angry men on the planet to fight your enemies and win.

There has to be more nuance to life than, "these people eat bagels and those people eat bacon".  Okay, but then what?

Re: Politics

Some little foreign cultural islamic gangster with a criminal background was killed when he failed to stop at a Police checkpoint so now France has its 'George Floyd' moment. Nahel riots are an ongoing series of Burning, Looting and Murder Riots and civil disturbances now spreading all across France, taking over multiple French cities, it might also spread to Belgium.

The so-called leader of French this Macron then politically attacked Police.

It only gave the mob political ammunition to riot

Some criminals will cover their faces, others will post their crimes to social media and show their faces as they do crimes on social media like Facebook,  the You tube  Instagram sites etc

There are also news items and videos of Wild animals spotted in a city, who knows maybe the mob broke open the zoo and maybe a Lion will show up there is film of a 'Zebra', there is a clip of a man in a car who talks about a giraffe running the streets. I will not share any link to the social media Telegram Messenger as it has bad moderation and is often involved in scams and political propaganda, however the film itself might be real. Both Left and Right ran in the direction of new social media websites like 'Telegram' to flee censorship and it is overtaking WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger to become the most popular instant messaging, however the islamics, Marxist French and Russian and jihadi are involved, it was started by Nikolai and Pavel Durov, its HQ are in the tax dodge region of the British Virgin Islands, it has operations in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Telegram is highly owned and influenced by islamist Sharia Law jihad money and the Emirati state-owned holding company and the Mubadala Investment Company. The Social Media company a complex corporate structure of shell companies to delay complying with government subpoenas, Telegram was used to organize Looting and Riots in the USA during the 'George Floyd' protests.  Telegram has been used for illegal activities such as spreading hate messages, illegal pornography, contact between criminals and trading of illegal goods and services such as drugs and stolen personal data. In Iraq and Iran, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has used groups and channels for doxing citizens and warmongering propaganda. In September 2015, in response to a question about the use of Telegram by Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS), Pavel Durov stated: "I think that privacy, ultimately, and our right for privacy is more important than our fear of bad things happening, like terrorism." https://web.archive.org/web/20151127133 … -february/ According to Wired, Telegram "exercises virtually no content moderation, except to take down illegal pornography and calls for violence" https://www.wired.com/story/how-telegra … -facebook/

Macron himself is on Telegram and Macron has blame to put on something else.

Re: Politics

Fall of the old French Empire, the autopsy report.

France is in Collapse today and it looks like a bizarre scene from a Zombie Horror Apocalypse and Doctor Doolittle or Jumanji???
There are reports of a circus or zoo broken into and Lions, Gorillas, Zebras and an Elephant on the streets of France, yes Lions, Gorillas and Zebras running around and behaving better than wild human mob animals during the riots.
There are also pics and vids of wild Boars running panicked in the cities, wild goats running around but perhaps they escaped from a farm or the backyard of some French-Arab type and they were not broken out from a zoo.

Here is a clip of a number of supermarket stores being rammed by vehicles so they can 'Loot' shopping items

But this time, it is France that is burning, not Algeria. All the while, who is in charge now? Emmanuel Macron: No Charles De Gaulle around to call upon for help!

If there are control freaks out there who fail to lead and inspire and govern and if they these elites exist and they can not move a population forward as leaders and perhaps No matter how much 'they' will try to censor a free and open internet there will always be a small space on the net where people can talk and express

I understand how some extreme stuff could be censored but at the same time I really don't want to have to go to some Coast to Coast AM Bigfoot website or go to a Lizard Doomsday Vaccine Alien invasion guy like 'David Icke' and his blog to see people chat free, or I do not want to go to some complete fringe Leftwing Loon or Rightwing Loony for a free and open discussion. I personally believe the web was more free before giants like the Facebooks and You tube style sites came along. When on the web and the web keeps getting smaller then where to go for a free flow of info that is outside the mainstream corporate 'news'. Where to go to tell me what is happening, you can always ring a local person maybe message them to see what is going on in France. Or would 'they' monitor and close the phone lines and just mass gulag and camp people also throw away 'rights' in such a time of crisis?

Notre-Dame still has to be repaired after the 2019 fire, the official investigators believed the fire to have been started by a 'cigarette'.

Some strange is happening like the Balkans, it is not Mosques or Hindu Temples getting attacked, over 80 percent of the desecrated places of worship in France are Christian churches.

Bush, LA almost burning to the ground in the 1992 riots, roof top Korean-Americans defended their homes and business with guns and the California National Guard, United States military, and several federal law enforcement agencies deployed, today Emmanuel Macron the politician serving as President of France since 2017 is under pressure to declare a state of emergency.

Paris Syndrome is a psychological condition experienced almost exclusively by Japanese tourists who are disappointed when the city of lights does not live up to their romantic expectations.


The syndrome, considered an extreme case of culture shock, causes symptoms such as an acute delusional state, hallucinations, anxiety, dizziness, and sweating, has been documented by medical journals.

Combined with exhaustion, language barriers, and culture barriers, homesickness and culture shock can cause serious psychological distress.

The Japanese embassy in Paris repatriates up to 20 tourists a year, sending them home with a doctor or nurse to ensure they recover from the shock.


The embassy also runs a 24-hour helpline for expatriates experiencing the syndrome.

The problem appears to be growing worse instead of improving, as there have been reports of Chinese tourists, part of the country's emerging middle class travelling abroad for the first time, experiencing the syndrome.

Another translation of Eric Zemmour

For 40 years, the State has been spending 10 billion euros per year on urban policy. And for what? So that these young people from the suburbs can burn everything.

There are also other big names in French politics like Anne Hidalgo, Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, Fabien Roussel, Philippe Poutou, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, Jean Lassalle, Nathalie Arthaud, Yannick Jadot, Valérie Pécresse and 'Le Pen' most of them are on that twitter a website which is no longer working.
People like Benoît Hamon, François Fillon, François Asselineau, Jacques Cheminade don't seem to be around much anymore, perhaps some political parties have 'retired' or died off they seem to be less active than past political events or maybe they have been involved in their own scandals, Jean-Marie Le Pen was expelled from the party by his daughter Marine in 2015, after many new controversial  shocking statements he endorsed Éric Zemmour for the 2022 French presidential election over his daughter Marine.

Re: Politics

Mars_B4_Moon,

What are they putting in the water over there in Europe?

Elon Musk made a mess of Twitter?

Twitter used to be "leftist news", but now it's "actual news", where ideology takes a backseat to facts.  Twitter was a mess before Elon Musk arrived.  He's merely another unlucky sucker cleaning up the left's mess.  Freedom of speech for everyone, regardless of what's popular with the radical left, isn't the same thing as "only radical leftists get to share their thoughts with the world".  The radical left's ivory towers are giant toilet bowls that they don't know they're swimming in.  They live their entire lives awash in their pseudo-intellectual filth, so of course they're not used to anything but their own soil being flung back at them.  I guess a little intellectual disinfectant is anathema to people who enjoy playing with their own brain excrement.

Re: Politics

I wonder if the Korean-Americans arriving in a new frontier for them opening a business and seeing the mass murder and burning during the LA Riots maybe the Korean-American on a rooftop with guns learned how to be more American than Americans themselves. the newly arrived Americans they shot any Looter any person Black, White, Yellow, or Brown everyone had a equal chance of going to the grave if they attacked the home and business. In 1992 the Burning and Looting looked like it would take out the entire city, Cops pulled back and abandoned the city, but then all of a sudden that Riot got as far as Korea-Town and stopped it was an equal opportunity day for the criminal of any Ethnic Race to to die, then Bush Snr 41st President George H. W. Bush got to look like a tough guy declaring Martial Law as the Looting and Fight had more or less ended. Europe is not America it is a strange mix, it can have the very same problems as the USA maybe even worse at times while it says it has a history of being 'free' it also is a has been a place of Fascism and Communism and Monarch and Tyrant, it has never respected speech as much the United States of America did. It had freedoms in Europe, sure you have heritage of Democratic ideas in Europe, free logic thinking and the history of Rome and Greece and Republics, the French overcoming a Monarch of Tyranny and 'Magna Carta' the "Great Charter of Freedoms" agreed to by King John of England but none of this is the same as the heritage of the USA and the US Constitution, France is very different to the USA.  This event is also not unique to France a very similar event might happen for example in Sweden or in some British town/city.

Either Linda Yaccarino or Elon Musk have probably given an order to begin censoring twitter right now, for the French. The tech giants they are most probably stopping the words 'Macron' or 'Paris Rioting' or 'France' from trending. Or if twitter is not censoring outright it is perhaps shadow banning certain unwanted news. Some might argue its not censoring if you did not fully delete a hashtag # while I would argue it is censoring if they push down search results, you need to scroll down through hundreds of posts and the top 100 posts are from 1 month ago about cheese or pictures of wine and baguette before you see the real current news you are looking for. So perhaps twitter today is now forcing you to go through hundreds of pages of old news stuff before you find what you are looking for. I don't know what True Free Speech is on the web, maybe it looks like something utterly crazy and chaotic like '4-Chan'. I have my own personal views and experiences in life. I for example may have my own personal belief on restriction, I do not believe anyone under the age of 16 should be on the internet, a web where you can have Telegram Social media accounts trying to sell 'pills' to kids to make them happy...like to try some fentanyl the drug deal might ask...with a click of a mouse you have a young person watching pornography and then mentally addicted or blasted with imagery of nudity and the explicit or blood and action and gore from war zones, a kid politically blasted by islamic propaganda, hit with Nazi or Communist or Fasicst, a guy unhappy makes threats to shoot up schools another kid replies 'Do It'!...I might understand why a web would have restriction against extreme and violent stuff. You and I might have a totally different definition as to what classified as 'Free Speech' and people might have a personal subjective opinion and taste on 'Art' I for one do not see Pornography as 'Art' I also do not consider islam a religion, I think it more of an invader political cult and political social system of oppression and cultural war. I would like to see the day Taliban accounts for islamic accounts get 'fact checked' maybe under the original posts a warning FACT - 'Did you know the founder of islam was a camel jacking pedophile who married a 6 yr old girl and sucked on the tongue of young boys, it is written in their so-called holy islamic texts'. It would be nice to see these facts quoted but without doubt it might send hundreds of thousands of Low IQ islamics out rioting in their streets but Not because of a internet post but because of their own islamic violence and extremist stupidity. In the free Western World we have been told do not criticize the War or else you are a Putin Stooge, not to question election results again RussiaRussiaPissgate conspiracy theorist Biden won and Trump tried to hack Hillary Clinton's election, do not ask about these multi-colored pride predators or weird transexuals trying to make kids change their sex that's 'hate speech', George Floyd riots you don't go with the narrative...again you're Racism Hate Speech, not to question how effective a vaccine was. I personally don't need an account to browse twitter, a lot of it is mirrored so I still have a few back doors where I can go inside and look aroun twitter. I'm not a Trump fan but I thought it was crazy how much people were banned after the Riot and now today, the French of all people get to censor the world's internet.

We are told today don't worry about Elon Musk's new twitter team and the new twitter is better because he is only 'half censoring' not like the previous guy because Jack went Anti-Speech he was bad and eventually he was full censoring. I never really had a 'twitter' I didn't have much time for it but I had made a twitter account many years ago and was immediately banned, I never even got to post a single comment and only for a brief moment got to browse and look around. This was way back in the days of Jack Dorsey I briefly was in a kind of shared commune house, block kind of place. all kinds of workers, some foreign culture, maybe a student, the landlord and modified the housing and I assumed that greedy Landlord guy had bought a single internet connection for everyone so its possible 'twitter' thought I was someone else. Maybe 'Team Dorsey' seen my log-in just naturally assumed I was the same person who previously got banned for offending the Left, the Right or some perverted transsexual weird pride type offense tweet, maybe they offended some foreign government that twitter moderator admin might take offense to. I was not the previous poster but was probably banned for whatever came from that interwebs connection, I never really went back to twitter with an email, never put it on my phone. Years later they kinda opened it up a little more to the public and you could browse around with no login account, that's when I caught the odd science article or some 'breaking news' on twitter. Donald Trump used it as a political platform before he ran for election and was posting like crazy and used it in an effective way to help him win an election vs Hillary Clinton.

I think France has been ready to boil over for years but media would not talk of it and the French government they have tried to cover it up. Perhaps it can happen in parts of Sweden or Britain also and Angela Merkel in her wisdom took over 1 million of these guys, many perhaps mentally damaged from islamic warzones. Trump was absolutely correct with his immigration ban,  after the hostage crisis the Leftwing Jimmy Carter did the same and began to limit the entry of islamic Iranian aliens into the United States. There was also a weird trend by news media to run news gossip and political interference in an event just as they did during USA's George Floyd Riots, the media creating gossip, hating Police and pretending the victim is always a total innocent angel to create more 'outrage', the Media in the Western world now constantly whips up mass hysteria so so they can get a successful 5 min headline. I know someone driving around France right now as a 'tourist', what a great time to do tourism! He is the type of guy who doesn't check the news much and was wondering what the heck was going on, he turned the car around and drove in the direction of Germany.

A Firefighter in France now dies battling blaze in car park during sixth night of unrest. Almost a full week of riots. How Asia and some other parts of the world sees this, India Hindu news, Brazil, South Korea, Singapore, Japan for example.
We know some Western / European media have already made excuses for the rioters

As difficult it is for Poland to take in millions upon million of refugee people from Ukraine or as difficult as it has been for the USA to be almost totally over run from a culture of illegals from Latin America I would take at least some of common heritage that make at least understands some kind of shared concept like Government or Christianity or Democracy or they would perhaps have something in common. Europe did have some genuine refugees from Arabia and other place but it is going to suffer because trash also they let into their countries so much criminal islamist jihadi trash, Maghrebi ‘banlieue’ is more than a death of one guy there currently is outright hatred of the French homeland culture my multiple foreign cultures and they Burn and Loot and Ravage and Pillage as a Horde would do across France. The gangster thief culture of islamism/jihad and Democracy will most probably Never Co-Exist together.

There seem to be some releases from the Ministry of the French Interior and Director General of the France National Police. People from the Army and Police have also signed joint letters saying if Macron does not get things done they will step in themselves and take over. Some say France is about to go into Full Lockdown, maybe full internet blackout for some but only for some, censorship in certain areas of trouble. Rumors say soon it will go into 'Restrictions' another 'Lockdown' you know that 2 weeks to flatten the curve type thing,
but not 'Martial Law', French are still Liberal equal brothers, the political type they announce France is still a Free country! they still have Liberty and Bortherhood they say on the Tv!
people in the towns and cities will have 24 hrs and should secure food and water.

Re: Politics

Mars_B4_Moon,

Those of us on the right gave fair warning to Elon Musk that Yaccarino was another petty tyrant.  He put her in charge anyway, and naturally, she's doing what all petty tyrants normally do when confronted with ugly reality.  Macron is merely another of the radical left's weak-sauce petty tyrants.  He's being himself.  Why should this surprise anyone?  Leftists have skin that's thinner than Miami bikinis, which is the crux of the problem.  If someone farts in their general direction, they get offended and want to silence anyone who disagrees with their opinions.

We no longer have news media in America, in case you didn't already know that.  We have left / right political opinion media to avert the attention of the peasants from the robber barons, which espouses the divisive yapping points of the people paying their salaries.  I quit watching altogether, years ago, and it's one of the best decisions I've made.

The first several weeks of Ukraine’s long-awaited counteroffensive have not been kind to the Ukrainian troops who were trained and armed by the United States and its allies. Equipped with advanced American weapons and heralded as the vanguard of a major assault, the troops became bogged down in dense Russian minefields under constant fire from artillery and helicopter gunships. Units got lost. One unit delayed a nighttime attack until dawn, losing its advantage. Another fared so badly that commanders yanked it off the battlefield altogether.

Re: Politics

Mars_B4_Moon,

Most Americans are wondering why we haven't even attempted peace talks with Russia before tens to low hundreds of millions of people starve to death without Ukrainian food exports, as this war drags on and on, with no clear indication of what constitutes a victory in Ukraine.  For my fellow Americans, Russia won't stop at Ukraine.  Poland is next on their list, and then we will be fighting another major land war in Europe, like it or not.  Russia wants to reacquire all the countries it previously occupied when the Soviet Union still existed.  Putin wrote a paper on this, but most of you probably never read it.  However, this is not "Putin's war with Ukraine".  All the other potential players who the Russians will allow to serve in leadership roles think the same way.  The only Russian political dissidents who think otherwise are either in prison or dead.  This is the cheapest the war with Russia will ever be.

On top of that bad news, China might attempt to invade Taiwan in the near future.  The war with the Chinese CCCP, will be "Pacific War Part 2", because much like the war against Imperial Japan, the Chinese communists cannot be appeased and they're desperate for energy.  We kicked off WWII, before the Pearl Harbor attacks, by backing the Japanese into a corner, as it related to their oil supply.  FDR fully intended to send a ship to start hostilities with the Japanese, similar to the Gulf of Tonkin incident, and most of you probably never knew about that, either.  The US Navy later court-martialed the Captain sent to do that (attempt to provoke the Japanese into firing upon his ship), prior to learning about who authorized him to do it, and then swept the matter under the rug after the Japanese obliged and started WWII for us.

So, for those of you who detest war, I highly suggest you support Ukraine in their struggle against Russia, and that we actively discourage the Chinese from attempting to invade Taiwan or its other neighbors, like Viet Nam, by increasing US military presence, primarily the US Navy, in the South China Sea, to preclude the possibility of any surprise invasion of Taiwan, else your children will be fighting another WWII in the Pacific, this time against the Chinese CCCP.  Hopefully said war with China will remain conventional in nature.  It will only go nuclear if our President makes the colossal error in judgement of attempting to invade mainland China.  The same applies with Russia.  So long as we don't invade Russia, they won't be using any nuclear weapons.

Please also note that there are ongoing internal power struggles in Russia.  The loss of economic prosperity in China will eventually result in the same thing happening there.  All bets are off after that happens.  North Korea is not really a factor.  Iran may or may not be a factor.  If the Chinese become involved in their own Gulf Wars to secure their supply of oil, then that entire region will be more of a mess than it already is.  India is a wild card, but they remain heavily pro-Russian.  Future life here in America will be shaped by events in Asia and the Middle East, along with half of South America invading through our Southern Border, which is our most pressing immediate problem.
