  1. Annecdotal, but think it represents much of what's goin on:

    Friend just tested positive for Covid, according to a random test she received in the mail. Completely panicked, messaging everyone to spread more panic

    Symptoms: Mild headache
    Treatment: Self-isolation for 2 weeks!!

    WHAT THE FUCK
    we stop an entire civilisation, bankrupt everyone for symptoms that are a headache?
    Symptoms of the vaccine include amputation of your limbs and death, long-term illnesses including heart and brain tissue damage
    Symptoms of the lockdown: rampant suicides, devastation of the middle class and small business, transfer of wealth to the oligarchs, taking of your rights, censorship, complete and utter devastation

    WAKE THE FUCK UP!

  2. There need to be more clashes in the USA.

    "The Asia Foundation, though, isn't just any foundation. Officially, it's "a nonprofit international development organization committed to improving lives across a dynamic and developing Asia." In fact, it's the second iteration of an organization called "Committee for Free Asia" that the CIA founded in 1951. In 1954, the organization got a facelift as the Asia Foundation, but it remained on the CIA payroll until 1969. It still gets most of its funding from the U.S. government, although it's unclear what, if any role, the CIA plays."

    It APPEARS the CIA is operating in the US.

    Maybe the CIA going after the loyal opposition would look more palatable, if they actually won against the Chinese, Russians, Iranians, Taliban or others.
