It's for Lockheed, but Ukraine's "elites" are profiting as well:

Looks like another example showing "The People" are no longer in charge (if they ever really were).

Are alternatives to these apps being built on Nostr that are interoperable and that would demonstrate Nostr's superiority? I know there are some Nostr-reddit alternatives being worked on.

Can we admit the West is no longer democratic?

I would call it "fascism" rather than capitalism. This isn't the free market, it's governments in collusion with corporations...

Ok, duh 😄

Block/Report appears to be in it's place

#Amethyst used to have an option to request deletion of a note but I just checked and see that nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z has removed it...

I believe this is what https://nostr1.com/ does.

Some consider the "Deep State" to be a mere myth or conspiracy theory, but even the awful TR knew it existed:

“Political parties exist to secure responsible government and to execute the will of the people. From these great staffs, both of the old parties have ganged aside. Instead of instruments to promote the general welfare they have become the tools of corrupt interests which use them in martialling to serve their selfish purposes. Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of the day.”

-Theodore Roosevelt

Just like the Romans: "They make a desert and call it 'peace'"

I heard he also had a lot of gold that the U.S. seized.

😩 This was a "like" but this emoji just matched his expression captured in the YouTube link 😄

This is why we should vote in the marketplace, not at the ballot Box:

"Free" elections, huh? Choosing not to vote is also indicating your preference. Some would rather opt out. Forcing people to vote is saying you are locked into the current system.

That's what they tried to do when the founding fathers established the U.S. Constitution...

Jesus warned this would happen. 😞

It appears I inappropriately cast my my pearls. Lord forgive me!
