And so; how much less corrupt is the new “democratic” govt of #SouthAfrica. Like;as far as I know, no major hospital has been built in 30yrs. Infr projects are ignored. There’s no mgmnt of anything needing mgmnt. Kids have dark ages pit toilets. And ATROCIOUS teachers/curriculums

Jails haven’t been built; or nowhere near what’s needed; that’s for sure❗️And illegal immigrants reign free in the untaxable underbelly they don’t care about. And it’s not coz they’re stupid. It’s a system to hide corruption in. And to keep voters where they were!

ie: Unable to think critically; without enough information/education. #ThoughtControl And we ALL, the victims of the other side of the SAME placeholder blame game racism card. Still. Like in #Apartheid. Actually.

And then it’s “Afrikaners” who are a problem. Well; Mandela wanted a new start for everyone; his message was the vision of a rainbow nation. 1995 was an euphoric year filled with hope❗️And then as soon as he was out the way, BEE etc started; and the campaign

to blame whites for the STATE NOT DOING ENOUGH. Like if you’re a whizz kid you’ll be hired. Duh. Who doesn’t LOVE a whiz kid. I was never able to resist them. Across the colour spectrum. Folks weren’t not hiring blacks because of racism. It was coz of the lack of

@USNavy @USNavyCNO @USNavyUnderSec @NavyTimes just wanted to know, when the contract was signed with IAL to ship our vehicles did you question the wording of the clause, "It will get there in the same condition it left, occasionally."
At this point I don't care how much it costs-

IAL needs to be held responsible for their poor quality of service and attempts to deny claims that are obviously the fault of their staff and subcontractors.
Backstory:
I just got out of the Navy after serving 8 honorable, rewarding years. Covid-19 is in full swing. I am living-

- off of savings while I wait for the spring semester at school to start because finding part time work in my skill-set is difficult in this climate. I have no vehicle and am still waiting for my household goods to arrive at my home. I'm informed that my car has arrived in NJ--

--and is ready for pickup. Imagine my surprise when I take a train across four states and walk 30 minutes in snow to pick up my car, only to find it has been damaged mechanically in transport because someone didn't know how to drive manual and couldn't be bothered to operate--

-a winch. My car is now ruined and I'm stuck in NJ trying to find a mechanic to replace my clutch on December 23rd. I ended up having to tow the car 30 minutes to a mechanic, out of pocket, and leave it in NJ, then try to catch a train to make it home to my family for the--

When academic experts like me try to share our knowledge on social media, we attract our own special kinds of reply guys (and gals!).

Here's my list of academic reply guys! 👇

The Traffic Cop. This type wants you to "Stay in your lane!". You can use social media or you can know what you're talking about but you can't do both! The traffic cop understands that democratic debate works best when everybody involved is ignorant.

The Trash Panda. The trash panda is very picky and will only consume information from unofficial sources. Everything else is fake news! People with PhDs, Government officials, World recognized experts. BAD! Facebook posts, WhatsApp viral videos, Youtube comments. GOOD!

The Conspiracy Theorist. This type assumes the only reason you're giving advice is you're trying to control them. So you want them to ask an expert how to solve a problem, then listen to the answer and then do what that person says? No sir! That sounds like mind control!

The Contrarian. There is nothing you can do to convince this type. If what you're saying is unpopular, they will side with you and once your opinion becomes popular, they will be on the other side. That's just how it is.

In 10 months, the U.S. transformed into an obedient socialist country. Government dictated what events are acceptable to attend. Violent protests that instill fear are OK but church services, family funerals & patriotic celebrations are dangerous & you bought it without a fight.

Weissmann was kept "in the loop" on the dossier, a source said, while he was chief of the criminal fraud division. He is now assigned to Special Counsel Mueller’s team.

You're going to find out, in the near future, that all those people who studied the government for decades, but you denounced as "crazy conspiracy theorists" were right about everything.

Apologies will be in order.

Also, this is far from over. It's just the beginning.

On the morning of 9-11-2001 I was awoken by a family member immediately after first tower was hit. I go to the tv. I see it. "America's under attack," someone said. My response, "No. They've planned this for a long time. That bldg will probably collapse."

I've known things weren't right for at least 26 years. On 9-12-2001 I was searching the Federal Register for a company I'd heard about called UNOCAL (pipelines). I read w/ my own eyes that in early 2001 the Co. had approached Congress & got permission to invade ...

Afghanistan on 10-1-2001. These documents were from EARLY 2001. When George Bush, Jr. announced in mid-September we would be invading Afghanistan on October 1st, I realized 9-11 was the pretext for a business deal that had been approved by US Congress.

The deal was for a pipeline. Back then, you couldn't screenshot things as easy, hard drives weren't as big. I only read these documents w/ my own eyes & thought, "they're caught" bc it was in the Federal Register.

Anarchism: belief in the abolition of all government and the organization of society on a voluntary, cooperative basis without recourse to force or compulsion

Fascism: a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.

Neoliberalism: market-oriented reform policies such as "eliminating price controls, deregulating capital markets, lowering trade barriers" and reducing, especially through privatization and austerity, state influence in the economy.

Genocide: the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group

Remember the NYTimes reports that "Russia" put bounties on US Soldiers in Afghanistan and they ran the story prior to the election to bash @realDonaldTrump?

Well @DNI_Ratcliffe is declassifying intelligence that indicates "China" put bounties in Afghanistan on US soldiers.

The good ole cited "sources familiar" and 'unnamed sources"

The actual Spokespeople at the National Security Council, the Pentagon, the State Department and the C.I.A. declined to comment.

But the NYTimes went with their

The MSM went ballistic when the claims it was Russia and Trump pushed beck saying that report was inaccurate.

Now there is actual documented Intel soon to drop that indicates it was actually CHINA paying non-state actors in Afghanistan to attack US soldiers!

The original leak out of the Pentagon didn't indicated foreign bad actors were financing Bounties on US Soldiers, and the MSM just immediately inserted Russia to keep up the Trump Russia narrative. Johnny Ratcliffe pushed back on the original report saying it was inconclusive!

Now further intelligence along with an actual money trail is pointing to China as the financiers of Bountygate, and when Trumps said he asked Putin point blank about Bountygate, Putin denied Russian involvement, may have been actually true, and the MSM got it wrong again

1. A brief thread on why we should not panic but should worry, even be a bit...alarmed.

I've been speaking with former Trump Administration officials and with other former senior national security types who remain plugged in to the Pentagon.

2. They think we'll most likely "be ok;" but they are worried about what one called the three I's:
Iran.
The Insurrection Act.
and (White House and civilian DOD leadership) Insanity.

3. Iran.

January 3 is the anniversary of Suleimani's killing, followed shortly by the end of the 40-day mourning period for Fakhrizadeh. So there is the prospect of Iranian retaliation, to which a U.S. response (or conceivably preemptive action) would certainly be legitimate.

4. Iran (cont'd)

But of course there's also the possibility of the Trump Administration using an Iranian provocation to launch an action that's way beyond proportionate, as well as the possibility of simply inventing a predicate for U.S. action.

5. Iran (cont'd)

This obviously wouldn't stop the transition or even endanger it; but it would create an atmosphere of crisis and even chaos in which the second possibility--the Insurrection Act--might seem more doable.
