Mass protests in Gaza are making headlines—but where are the photos? Major outlets like Reuters, CNN, and AP are relying on vague social med

Footage hamas doesn't want you to see. This is proof of how much the militant group is in complete control of the media.

People are dying in these protests, dying for spreading the truth about the internal workings, or at least, outside of the Gaza strip.

These people want peace, so do we. One group does not, sadly that group has more support from both the UN (UNRAW) and western civilization.

Do you actually care about Palestinians? Or do you just want dead Jews?

Really think about this...

CO₂ isn't the problem—the multi-billion-dollar market built around it is. What's being sold to us as "climate protection" has long since become a political-industrial complex that has more to do with money flows, certificate hocus-pocus, and artificially created dependencies than with genuine environmental policy. CO₂ certificates are traded like Monopoly paper. Billions change hands, but the atmosphere hardly changes. Offset projects are turning out to be scams one after another. "Reforestation" that never happens. "Emission reduction" that never existed. Double counting, sham reductions, ghost credits—a global business that doesn't solve real problems but burdens real people. Politicians and corporations are profiting handsomely from it. The costs are always borne by the citizens—higher energy prices, new levies, new steering taxes. The profiteers sit in government agencies, NGOs, and industrial corporations. The CO₂ narrative is being used to justify control. New regulations, new bans, new restrictions. Under the guise of "saving the climate," power is being centralized. The fraud isn't CO₂ itself—it's the business model that has been created around it. A perfect construct for siphoning off money, manipulating politics, and steering societies. And anyone who speaks out about it is defamed. Yet every exposé shows: The CO₂ market is the most expensive deception of our time. Reduce CO₂ as much as you want—you won't control the climate that way. The idea that humanity can control the Earth's climate with a few political measures is pure hubris. Nature, the sun, the oceans, cycles spanning millions of years cannot be controlled by decree. It is human arrogance to believe that one can place oneself above nature—or even "manage" the planet.

“Conspiracy Theory Rock” aired on SNL back in 1998.    

It was never aired again, being cut from all future re-runs. General Electric owns NBC which controls SNL.

Inspired by this post which lit an absolute fire under my ass because it put so succinctly what I have tried and failed to explain to people for years. I was so inspired, I even tried my hand at graphic design, gasp!

There are two distinct but related points I'm trying to make here:

There is enormous power in mastering your own reactions. This is not me telling anyone to purposefully desensitize themselves. This is not me telling anyone that their emotions are trivial. This is not me saying you should not be angry about the injustice in the world. This is me telling you that if you can master the art of allowing that which upsets you to pass over and through you, there can be no idea or concept so heinous that it can be used to force you out of a space in which you belong, and in which you can enact change through your presence.

If you allow your sensibilities to be offended by something to the point of disengaging, you will not protect that thing's right to exist. You don't have to like the thing. You can profess your distaste for it while defending it if you want to. You just have to recognize you and your interests, no matter how removed you think they are, are only ever a few policy changes away from being considered synonymous with that thing.

I can tell you firsthand that becoming non-reactionary is a trainable skill, and you don't need to be perfect at it. I will never be perfect at it, I got the brain thing that makes thoughts take the bullet train to the mouth while impulse control is still waiting on the bus. But if you can overcome your first instinct to recoil, your feet stay in place and your mind becomes free to understand. Therein lies your power to protect yourself.

Censorship vs. Creativity: How Government-Imposed ‘Bias Monitors’ Could Shape the Future of Writing

In a recent development that has sent shockwaves through the media industry, CBS News became embroiled in controversy over the imposition of a “bias monitor” following a lawsuit filed by former President Donald Trump. The federal government’s approval of this corporate merger between CBS’s parent company and Skydance, which included the creation of this position, signals a disturbing trend that…
