Would you be the ghost of Governor Milner, sir ? Suppose your submission goes to form, then, to respond to Russian own bioweapons agitprop.

What's frightening is it took several years for Germany. 2 weeks for the entirety of the Western world.

Also, more pointedly, after Cesar's assassination, Octavian took over, executed all the conspirators, and instituted the Roman Empire.

Somebody gave a link higher up : the "someone" includes at least most of the large national "newspapers of reference", around 600 million dollars.

Mostly agree with what you wrote with the following precisions : > "named by a totally informal group" I used the term "informal" from the legal point of view. I'll have a box of cookies of your choice delivered

You didn't actually think they would really hurt the interests of their true patrons - transnational corporations, big industry, high finance ? This SWIFT ban only really affects the usual IBAN to IBAN transfer of the plebs and SMB&#x2

Not quite. What Canada already has (compelled speach laws) and is planning to do certainly is unique, except maybe a couple dictatorships if you criticize the regime. While the proposed text defines hatred as "[...] the emotion t

It is not, it has been in preprint for 9 months, based on data from Q1 2021. It's just passed peer-review and been published now. Also, see this comment [1] about the data. Horrendous paper, very manipulative. [1] https://ne

What is according to you the legal link (or logical construction), in between an order to disperse, or not support somebody not dispersing, and a freezing of said person's assets ? It doesn't exist in the normal course of judicial

Shouldn't it be everybody's ? Is Canada throwing the market efficiency and equity principles baby with the trucker's protest bathwater ?

Spot on. Then again, when he was a student, it didn't help even later in that regard having family give a huge shush payout to some underage girl's parent's for an undisclosed bad act.

Ok, gotcha. Guess we were all a little asymmetrical with our "reply" button pushes.

Yeah, but in most countries there is due process in front of a judge to do that. You can't just have the executive decide they can do that using pure administrative action to seize property. Also, you generally also have to prove in a

Yeah, that. Or, hear me out : - Russia is using it's yearly February military exercise as a massive psyop to drive up oil/gas prices and rack-in reserves, all the while peacefully breaking NATO cohesion. - Their US opposites play

So, war propaganda again. This "massing of troops" has been there since the cold war. It's still showing the same framing of the photograph without the barracks which have been there for 60 years. And as a fun fact, this loca

IMHO, there's two ways to look at that problem : protect the fragile, or restrain the non-fragile. And I'm in the same boat as your son. The current policies in the west have done nothing to proactively protect the fragile, and ev

Not a genre. If you see the video, it's literally a very very very cringe video, and I shudder at the thought of calling it "rap".

Very true. IMHO, there is also a tremendous amount of value dilution going on, and not just due to the action of the US FED or Treasury, or other central banks. The problems are systemic and global, and conjoined with the problem of value d
