it's that simple.

While I have several substacks bookmarked, so far this is my only subscription, and the author very kindly gifted it to me. If you can afford to support this author's speaking truth to power, please consider it, and please consider supporting ~~deadlines~~, dessalines, nutomic, and altmediaguy. They whisper truth through the angry and loud CIA/Mossad propaganda, that has become overgrown poison ivy in the Western world.

"I say things you like on a blog, give me money"?

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 points 40 minutes ago (1 children)

Unlike popular posters on the CIA/Mossad ops instances, this writer is actually informed. I'm not the author, btw.

[–] yucandu@lemmy.world 1 points 3 minutes ago (1 children)

How do I know this guy isn't a CIA/Mossad op?

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 points 54 seconds ago

Mainly because they go against the psyop narrative

What saddens me is that the U.S. could have been the complete opposite.

After WWII, the modern day version of carrier strike groups could have been made more numourous and larger. But instead of just patrolling chunks of the ocean for no goddamn reason, the MOMENT a country's armed forces cross into a neighboring country that agressor country gets obliterated by the strike group in that location.

In turn, the US could never seek to expand its borders, and would remain neutral in all future conflict.

Sure this would have pissed Russia off, but look at China - other than their childish problem losing Taiwan and Hong Kong (RIP) they probably wouldn't have had a problem with it.

Hell, the US DEMONSTRATED the capability to do this with the first Gulf War.

I will now wait for a chaotic inbox.

How is this POSSIBLE? Our PRESIDENT got the FIFA Peace Prize!

The link just goes to a photo. There's no article.

[–] SubUrbanIT@lemmy.world 8 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Mine didn't go directly to an article either. Just the photo. Hmmm

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Same

[–] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Weird, it goes straight to an article for me.

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 1 points 36 minutes ago

Yes, I got that from your earlier comment, which is unhelpful.

Looks like it could be an issue between kbin/mbin and lemmy. Switched to Piefed and yes, it does show up. Not sure how exactly they shared the link to make it appear for some users and not for others.

[–] hanrahan@piefed.social 3 points 2 hours ago

links to an article for me

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

Maybe it's your client or instance?

[–] kmartburrito@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

It's happening to me as well on Boost for Android

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I don't know. I'm using the default web frontend. Maybe something is getting its wires crossed when the post is passed between instances. I've seen this happen before.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I use the web interface as well. And I believe you post in good faith. Were you able to copy and paste the URL?

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

Thanks. Evidently there's some kind of intermittent problem, probably on my instance as you suggest, and apparently some others too.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 points 1 hour ago

It may be a federation issue. Perhaps post it in the meta for your instance so admin can investigate?

You're always welcome, my friend.

[–] hanrahan@piefed.social 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

yes..and ?

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 2 points 2 hours ago

I think we're stuck on "pending."

[–] thenextguy@lemmy.world 7 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

What substack? You didn't link anything.

Idk why you can't see the link.

[–] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

We all need to do better to support opposition candidates and show the world we aren't in alignment with this scum.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 5 points 4 hours ago

The only oppo candidates wouldn't run as D or R

[–] Korne127@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago (3 children)

Saying this in a world with Russia is mindboggling

[–] PlaidBaron@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

Russia is your boogeyman. Russia and the US is everyone else's boogeymen.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 10 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Russia is terrible. The united snakes was always on another level of evilness

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 7 points 3 hours ago

Yes we were.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 0 points 3 hours ago

We don't buy the CIA/Mossad narrative anymore.

[–] kSPvhmTOlwvMd7Y7E@lemmy.world -4 points 2 hours ago (3 children)

I believe as of now, that title is still held by Russia; but yes US is a strong contender

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 6 points 2 hours ago

Fact is that the usa bombed more countries, overthrew a bigger numbers of democrarically elected leaders and governments, backed the longest occupation existing, held the longest blockade in modern history, is involved in the two most serious current genocides : sudan and gaza

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 0 points 1 hour ago

thats the scary thing about now. We have never been more like russian than in the last year. Im not a fan of regular attemtps to start ww3.

[–] totesmygoat@piefed.ca 1 points 2 hours ago

That's the peanut butter cup of shitholes. One and the same now.

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 0 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

The US Gov and the reds, that is.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth -2 points 3 hours ago

That's why they hit the Iranian nuclear power plant, right? 🙄
