In the news: CIA-funded social network used to manipulate American public opinion.

Jeff Rothschild, to Vladimir Putin:

He’d also like you to sell short on Disney, apparently, despite the massive evidence of commercial success to the contrary.

Hey Hamilton, I made a 1,000% profit over the last two years on the cryptocurrency you screamed bloody murder telling everyone not to buy.

Are you ignoring the violence *we have done to them under the auspices of organized war/”peacekeeping”* since the start of this “War on Terror”?

Muslims believe the Quran is the literal word of Allah, while most Christian denominations believe the Bible is divinely inspired, but ultimately created by men. So Christians don’t need to “update” the Bible because they can throw out the parts they don’t like whenever they want. Muslims don’t have that same liberty.

If some of this is coming from where I possibly think it is - Q has been leading many people on a merry chase, with bits of the truth sprinkled in amongst a lot of flagrant personalitymongering. I would not suggest going down that road further. There are bits and pieces of truth in QAnon’s general body of work - I…

Giuliani was *absolutely* a player. He played everyone, including you - it seems - don’t underestimate the man. His ability to infiltrate this Administration indicates to me that he is one of the greatest threats to democracy running.

Yeah man. I think I would have loved the joint.

We’re now in Great Game territory here; so I feel compelled to ask - what’s your standing in it, and whose faction are you on? You can use pseudonyms or whatever you like, metaphors, but I need some confirmation that you’re not just pissing around - I love this discussion but I can’t in good conscience get too…

So...did or did not MbS have Kashoggi killed? That does lend a new angle on things if true. How do you know this, and do you have new information on that?

Supportive of the Saudi royals? No. The Saudi-Israeli “alliances” with the United States are an absolute travesty and a root cause of this conflict in ways most Americans have no idea about.

It’s extremely obvious that though there may be westernized Muslims that actually believe Jihad to mean something about Spiritual Struggle or some other inward-facing ideal that there are countless millions of others that believe the words in The Quran are to be taken literally.

Mocking him to pieces clearly hasn’t put any holes in his hatred or xenophobia.

You didn’t answer the question. Is there a reason for that?

May I ask something in all honesty?

And yet, somehow, Christian and Jewish societies don’t throw gay men off buildings

It’s not him I’m concerned about; it’s the readers who won’t see anything *but* xenophobia at a top-level if nobody pokes any holes in all of this.

Sure! I expect that to happen about the same time that Jews and Christians “update” Leviticus 20:13 calling for the murder of gay men, the same time the Haredim in Israel remove “keep the Canaanite slave forever” from the holy mitzvot, the same time that apocalyptic Christians remove Christ calling to summon seven…

He’s currently the featured comment, and there was no educated pushback at all on it when I got here.
