To anyone who doesn't know, Radio Free Asia is a CIA cut-out and World Uyghur Congress is a CIA (NED) funded separatist group. [1] [1] https://thegrayzone.com/2020/03/05/world-uyghur-congress-us-...

> The single most powerful tool we have is fully sharing salaries and compensation. That drives prices up (and other benefits such as vacation time or equity). We have an older, more proven tool to increase salaries and benefits: unions.

I love my '99 Cherokee (XJ) for this reason. Hopefully it never dies. Doug DeMuro explains why people love the XJ for its simplicity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3STMfI_PS4Q

You're correct about Zenz. Not only is Zenz a far right Evangelical but he also has made statements that he is "guided by God" and on a "mission" against China. His work is full of cherry-picking and distorting sour

Plus the US has illegally killed US citizens, like Anwar al-Awlaki, with drone strikes. Then a few years later they killed his 16 year old son with a drone and his 8 year old daughter in a commando raid. All Americans. [1] Or when the US ha

They are very open about being funded by CIA cut outs like the National Endowment for Democracy [1]. If you're not familiar with the NED then you should read William Blum's description of them [2]. Radio War Nerd recently did an e

My favorite over the top intelligence claim from that era was that Saddam had a "human shredder" which he used on his enemies. Turns out it never existed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saddam_Hussein%27s_alleg

There's a lot of interesting conspiracy theories about why that is the case. Most people point to one of the Warren Commission documents obtained via FOIA about how the CIA must discredit people who doubt the official JFK assassinati

I tend to trust Prof Shi Zhengli on this one. She has been open [1] to investigations into her lab and has the most evidence in her favor. Notably, she's showed that miners who died 8 years ago didn't die of Sars-Cov-2 and that no

Economics and power is not that simple. I'm sure most commenters here know about China's demographics - but it is asinine to think they'll collapse because of an ageing population. That's not how the world works.
