The upper echelons of wealth remain unchanged for centuries, if not millennia:

“According to Jeffrey Steinberg, the economic base of support for the House of Windsor is an informal grouping called the Club of the Isles, “which combines the political and financial clout of a far more extensive combine of intermarried European royal and princely families that extends from Scandinavia to Greece”. “The estimated combined financial worth of the Club of the Isles”, he continues, “is greater than $1 trillion and the holdings in which the club has controlling interest are believed to exceed $9 trillion. The world petroleum supply is dominated by the British royal household, as is much of the world's supply of precious metals and raw materials, through such ‘Crown jewels’ as Rio Tinto Zinc, Lonrho, and DeBeers Anglo American Corp”.

Fascinating and incisive writing from nostr:npub1g0587hzzckcncxfm78n0996qe2s58nspy29wf02tqcj5sdzcpj4q6j40hv. The Bitcoin community badly needs more sceptical writing and perspectives with the all-too-present influx of Wall Street parasites 🦠

Extremely disappointed by the lack of scepticism in the Bitcoin community regarding HRF.

The founder of the HRF comes from a well connected family of Venezuelan Oligarchs with ties to both British and US Intelligence who were ostracised by Chavez.

The largest donors to the Human Rights Foundation is the Donors Capital Fund. One of largest donors to the Donor Capital Fund’s are the Koch Brothers via their Knowledge & Progress Fund.

Israel’s Horrific Massacre at Gaza’s Largest Hospital

“Bodies with heads and limbs severed were discovered both inside the hospital and in the surrounding area. Surgeons had been tied up and executed."

Israel has been using an AI system called "Lavender" in Gaza to generate kill lists, with almost no human verification to double check the targets selected by the machine.

The Israeli army has been using “Lavender” to "systematically attack the targeted individuals while they were in their homes — usually at night while their whole families were present — rather than during the course of military activity".

Israel also used an automated system called "Where's Daddy?" to ensure it killed AI-designated targets while the targets were at home with their spouses and children.

The Crucifixion of Julian Assange

“The goals in this Dickensian nightmare remain unchanged. Erase Julian from the public consciousness. Demonize him. Criminalize those who expose government crimes. Use Julian’s slow-motion crucifixion to warn journalists that no matter their nationality, no matter where they live, they can be kidnapped and extradited to the U.S. Drag out the judicial lynching for years until Julian, already in a precarious physical and mental condition, disintegrates.

This ruling, like all of the rulings in this case, is not about justice. It is about vengeance”

The use of the Totenkopf, Valknut, Iron Cross, Aryan Fist, and other Nazi and white supremacist symbols is the norm among US Army Special Forces detachments, not an aberration.

European Colonialism decimated the Islamic world. The endless US wars, coups and CIA operations such as Operation Cyclone in Afghanistan and Timber Sycamore in Syria have all undermined any chance of sovereignty and economic flourishing.

Captain Bar Zonshein recounts firing tank shells on vehicles carrying Israeli civilians on October 7. "I decide that this is the right decision, that it's better to stop the abduction and that they not be taken," he told Israeli media outlets.

Bar Zonshine admits to implementing the Hannibal Directive:

Q: "So why did you decide to attack the pick-up trucks (on their way back to Gaza)?"

A: "Because my gut feeling told me that they (soldiers from another tank) could be on them."

Q: So you might be killing them with that action. They are your soldiers.

A: Right.

The current Deputy Speaker of the Knesset, Israel’s Parliament

“I’m not anti-Semitic at all, but I am anti-Zionist. I don’t believe they have the right, after 3,000 years, to reclaim the land with western bombs and guns on biblical injunction." — James Baldwin

US Gulf ally’s in 2015 on bankrolling IS-K in Tajikistan to hurt Russia: "to bring pressure to bear on Russia and force it to withdraw its forces from Syria and stop its intervention there. […] This is the reason that we are giving funds to IS Khorasan."

Al-Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was an American agent used to justify the 2003 invasion and spark a sectarian war to divide Iraq for Israel's benefit.

When an American's FICO credit score drops too low, they can face debtor’s prison. These prisons are part of a complex system of forced labor camps, which are very profitable and significantly contribute to the US's GDP.
