Except for this

Critics maintain that the rapid and large-scale expenditure of munitions has “wrung out” U.S. power and that Washington’s inability to subdue Iran sends a message of American weakness around the world. On the contrary, the war showed that the United States is still willing and able to engage in large-scale military action. Russian President Vladimir Putin or Chinese President Xi Jinping cannot safely assume the Pentagon will stay on the sidelines if they attack NATO or Taiwan.

The war also gave the U.S. military the opportunity to practice. China’s People’s Liberation Army has not fought a war in decades. The Pentagon just conducted a months-long exercise in Iran of new tactics and technology that will be useful in a future conflict in Europe or Asia.

Incarcerated activist Malik Muhammad’s standing client call in March with their lawyer had been canceled without any real explanation. When Muhammad’s attorney, Lauren Regan, went to check their status on the Oregon Inmate Tracker, she found nothing. They seemed to have vanished without a trace.

Friends and family feared the worst. Muhammad, an army veteran and activist serving the longest federal sentence of any 2020 Black Lives Matter protester, had been a target inside the state prison because of their outspoken political beliefs and organizing efforts while incarcerated, several of their friends and supporters told The Intercept.

“We were calling everyone,” said Christopher Kuttruff, a close friend and supporter. “We were terrified that they were in the hospital or dead …your mind obviously goes to the worst places.”

For weeks, the activist disappeared from all tracking systems. The best Muhammad’s supporters could ascertain by early April was that they had been transferred to a “confidential location.” Late that month, Muhammad was able to get a letter out to their partner from Kirkland Correctional Institute, in South Carolina, an intake facility 3,000 thousand miles from Oregon — or, as Regan puts it, “as far away from me as possible.”

I suggested that the account holder of X account StopAntiSemitism was a Jewish Supremacist to try to make sense of their claims. The comment was instantly deleted, and my account permanently banned. The message on the top says to check my inbox for info, but there’s nothing in the inbox.

To be clear, I am not an antisemite. My antipathy towards Jewish supremacists is the same as my antipathy towards white supremacists, for example. I have a fully humanistic philosophy and I oppose any idea that one group of us is better and more deserving than any other. I have Jewish friends and colleagues who I love and respect. I will not be told that I am an "antisemite."

Israel has abducted the sister of Irish president Catherine Connolly during its criminal assault on the Gaza-bound humanitarian Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF). Margaret Connolly, a physician, is among eight Irish citizens kidnapped in international waters by the genocidal occupation.

President Connolly promptly condemned the abduction, describing it as “upsetting”, adding that:

I’m very worried about her, and I’m also very concerned about her colleagues on board.

Fifty GSF vessels were attempting to break Israel’s war crime, a brutal starvation blockade of Gaza. At least a dozen of the ships were attacked yesterday and their crews abducted. The Irish government condemned Israel’s actions as “wrong” and “unacceptable”.

UK citizens are also among the victims, but UK PM Keir Starmer has still kept silent about Israel’s crimes. Abductees in previous flotillas have been beaten and tortured, and at least one has been raped. The occupation regime regards rape as a weapon of war. Its routine and brutal rape of Palestinian prisoners has begun even to catch the attention of US ‘mainstream’ media, but is still mostly ignored by UK ‘msm’ – though a few have noted Israel’s threat to sue the New York Times for covering it.

I posted something in the thread about The Nino and the impending global famine, but I'm putting an expanded version here to help my fellow sensible moderates take material steps towards surviving the coming food wars without needing to resort to cannibalism or megadoses of Ozempic.

You're normal, and also broke, so going onto some crazy pepper website and spending five grand on a pallet of pressed protein paste isn't an option. Instead, you're going to get some shit that you're actually going to use in your normal routine to make delicious cheap food to feed yourself and your friends and neighbors. Don't be a dumb chud sitting on four thousand dollars worth of discount MREs you never eat until the apocalypse and then you realize after three weeks that you can't stand the taste and start craving human flesh. You're going to use this to survive the end of the world, sure, but also to survive the fact that your dumbass roommate is probably going to stiff you on rent this month. Your survival kit will just be the shit that's already in your pantry.

The basic principle is to seal the food in airtight storage bags in an oxygen-free environment then put those bags in hard-sided containers that will protect them from rodents and bugs. Properly stored, dried rice and beans can keep for ten to twenty years. One five gallon bucket will store twenty pounds of rice or beans. One bucket of each is enough to supply one person with a 2000 calorie diet for thirty days. Start with one of each. Don't go crazy. Like any survival gear, it's more important to learn how to use it than it is to buy a bunch of it. You can upscale later.

Go to the local hardware store or unattended construction site and get three five gallon buckets with lids. Get some gallon sized mylar bags. The kind with a zip top and a little extra material above that can be sealed with a hair straightener or clothes iron. Get a bag of oxygen absorbers. Not moisture absorbers. They look like the little silica gel packs but they are different and will say oxygen absorbers. You'll want about a 200-300 cubic centimeter rated absorber for a one gallon bag of rice or beans or multiple smaller ones. These are important. Sucking the oxygen out of the bags is what keeps bacteria from growing in them. Vacuum sealing doesn't work as well because it leaves pockets of oxygenated air. You can get combo packs of mylar bags and oxygen absorbers on Ali Express for not too much.

Get 20 pounds of white rice. Not brown, not wild. Regular-ass white rice. Its cheaper, lasts longer, and isn't bougie. Pick four kinds of beans, black beans, red beans, pinto beans, navy beans, chickpeas, or lentils, and get five pounds of each for a total of twenty pounds. Big bags of dried beans can sometimes be hard to find. Check asian or halal markets and restaurant supply stores.

Also pick up a big bottle of multivitamins, a liter of olive oil, a box of kosher salt, some big sealed jars of your favorite spices, and possibly some bouillon powder or cubes. You will actually go insane if you eat nothing but unseasoned beans and rice, and you're not going to use them in your kitchen if you don't like the taste.

Drop five pounds of rice or beans in each mylar bag. Open the oxygen absorbers and drop as many as you need in each. Immediately put the extra oxygen absorbers in another bag. You need to seal them in airtight as well or they will just suck oxygen out of the air in the room until they go bad and you will have wasted them. Push the air out of the bags and heat seal them. Use a permanent marker to label each bag with its contents and the date you sealed it. Put four bags in each bucket and seal the lids. Put the vitamins, oil, seasonings, and extra oxygen absorbers in the third bucket. Store them away from light, heat, and especially moisture as much as possible.

You can get by on about a cup and a half of beans and a cup and a half or rice per day with a multivitamin supplement. That will make your two 20 pound buckets last a little over a month for one person. The spices and oil will last longer. Scale this up eventually with more buckets of just rice and beans, but don't worry about getting six months of food for you and your seven roommates right now. Just get the process down. Put points on the board.

Now this is the important part. Pay very close attention. You need to use these. They should last a decade or two stored like this, but maybe you fucked up. How will you know if you aren't trying them regularly? Make one dinner a week with this shit. Make a chili one week, hummus another, jambalaya another week, lentil curry another, whatever. Learn to cook if you haven't already. Make it in a big batch so you have prepped meals throughout the week if you want an easy lunch. You don't need to reseal the bags completely after opening if you use it frequently. The zip top will keep them for about a year-ish. (Except for the oxygen absorbers. If you open that bag, heat seal it again as soon as possible.)

If you haven't used dried beans before, they need to be soaked, usually overnight before using. They will have a stronger bean flavor but are less salty than canned beans. Chickpeas are good because they don't need to soak as long if you forget to soak the night before. We're not using canned beans because they are heavier, more expensive and don't last as long. Feel free to keep a few canned goods like tomato paste or canned corn to throw in with the food you're making, but remember they won't last forever, so don't treat them as survival foods. Buy only what you will use in six months.

You can also use this same process to store other foods. Pasta, flour, nuts, and even pet kibble can be preserved, though the shelf life and number of oxygen absorbers needed will vary. Olive oil is your best bet for cooking oil, as it lasts a couple years if unopened in the original container. Other oils can degrade faster.

For your regular non-survival cooking, one pound of rice or beans equals about two and a half cups uncooked, which is a good meal prep sized amount for one person to get several meals out of. This means in a year of mostly regular moderate use, you can cycle through two buckets each of rice and beans per year. Do not buy more than two buckets each of rice and beans per person until you are absolutely sure of your ability and willingness to use them regularly or you're just wasting food. When you open bags, open the oldest dated bag first. This is why you labeled them earlier. You did remember to label them, didn't you? When you get more bags, put them on the bottom of their buckets. Use this as an opportunity to check older bags for tears or faded labels.

What's great about this is that aside from a bit of up front cost for the bags and buckets, it's really cheap. The bags are only gonna add like ten cents a pound on your dried food which you make up for in bulk savings. Specialty survival foods are expensive and taste like ass, so you're not going to use them. It costs more the longer you want to prep for. This method is cheaper than other food, and you're only limited by how much rice and beans you use in your daily cooking. This actually scales up better when you're broke. It also scales to the disaster. You're not gonna eat your pile of MREs if you get laid off because your boss decided Grok could do your job better than you. You will eat rice and beans if you get laid off either way. Prepper foods also tend to be focused around individually wrapped personal servings. Rice and beans is community food. Bring people together to help defend the bean pile or to trade for other goods you might need, like medicine, fuel, cigarettes, or ketamine.

Enjoy your rice and beans, gumshoes.

The ATF has slowly been redefining who can own a gun and the government is starting to pull the rug. They've also proposed requiring you to put your birth assigned sex on the paperwork, so if you are trans and have ids matching your gender you'll be required to lie on the form to buy your guns.

The fact that they're taking these steps prove to me that they think armed leftists and minorities are genuinely the only thing that can stop them now. I sense the US entering the cool zone
