  • Its the timing of all this with Iran that has me most concerned and the fact that Trump just got rid of the only agency that does a thorough investigation into industrial explosions.

    And the fact that the Mossad snuck in drones to Iran recently for their attack

    And the video of Landry signing this bill and mentioning our nuclear power plants and saying Trump will be signing his own EO soon

    And the fact that Trump also just fired a Biden appointee who was head of the Nuclear safety board that oversees America's nuclear reactors

    Hopefully all just part of a really weird series of coincidences

  • Ok I'll just come out and say this, I think it would be easy for a certain corrupt individual to create a false flag drone attack from a "foreign adversary" in order to boost patriotic morale and gain the support necessary to drag a certain country into a war he has repeatedly and very publicly announced he does not want to be involved in despite all evidence to the contrary.

    Especially given that corrupt individual has dismantled several safety measures and regulations and eliminated positions of individuals who are trained to keep something like this from happening.

    If you look at the amount of damage done by the Beeper attacks a few years ago, you really don't need a gigantic war drone to cause a catastrophe in certain conditions.

    I know it sounds paranoid AF, but I find it especially odd that same individual is trying to shut down the only agency that would thoroughly investigate an industrial chemical explosion if one were to occur. https://grist.org/energy/trump-quietly-shutters-the-only-federal-agency-that-investigates-industrial-chemical-explosions/

  • Exactly, it's a modern day trojan horse. It seems to be fairly easy to then potentially pin the attack on just about anyone using shell companies for shipment. Especially with the deregulation and removal of so many safety and security positions over the last several months.

    I was reading a little about the beeper attacks the and I think even now there is still some uncertainty about which company actually worked with the Mossad to manufacture the batteries that contained the explosive.

    The only reason I even bring that up, is that there were so many steps involving so many different groups of legitimate manufacturing companies as well as shell companies to ship the beepers. Some of the beepers were even taken apart and inspected before being distributed as a security measure, but they had used such a small amount of explosive fuel within the batteries, that it was completely missed.

  • Who would have thought that this would be the result of what happens when oligarchs buy up most major and even many local news outlets, run the same story on the front page of every news source, and censor edit the shit out of important news before burying it somewhere so that you have to literally go out of your way and dedicate a significant chunk of time searching for it. Staying as informed as I am able to has literally become my new very unfun "hobby."

    I'm assuming they were hoping more people would just stop paying attention to what is happening and never ask any questions about why everything is so fucking awful all the time.

  • I mean, if only anyone could see the obvious bullshit we're headed into.

    There's a lot of money to be made during times of war.

    Unfortunately the people that are pushing us in that direction are some very short sighted individuals that genuinely believe that once their actions have driven humans to the brink of extinction, they'll still be perfectly content in an underground bunker with shitty AI robots that break a month or so in, and all the stockpiled vacuum sealed resources they can hoard. Or alternatively, dying while attempting to colonize mars.

    That's who humanity will be relying to continue our legacy. The kind of person that thinks they are chosen elite, and there is nothing they cannot achieve. All bc they climbed mount Everest once while paying a team of Sherpas to risk their own lives and do everything for them.

  • A resolution Mr. Kaine introduced Monday would require explicit congressional authorization or a formal declaration of war before U.S. forces could take direct action against Iran. It faces long odds on Capitol Hill given Republicans’ reluctance to challenge Mr. Trump’s power, but it could prompt a vibrant debate as lawmakers in both parties warn against involving the United States in the escalating conflict.

    The measure is a direct invocation of the War Powers Resolution, a 1973 federal law intended to be a check on the president’s power to enter an armed conflict without the consent of Congress. While it would still allow Mr. Trump to authorize military action in self-defense in the event of an imminent attack, it would compel him to seek approval before carrying out any offensive operations against Iran.

    So that video claiming to be from anonymous, saying they have have knowledge a false flag attack will be used as an excuse to go to war...

    Not saying that is actually anonymous or that they actually have any evidence, but also not sure how much evidence you really need to make a fairly accurate guess as to what the writing on the wall will be.

    On the one hand needing congressional approval might not even matter bc Republicans have done just about everything asked of them up to this point. However, it does seem like we may be seeing some Republicans questioning if being loyalists will really help them retain their power when the midterms roll around.

    If something were to happen like what anonymous/whoever is posing as anonymous is claiming, it could quickly swing in the other direction. Everybody was antiwar by the time Bush finally left office, but nobody wanted to be accused of not being a patriot in 2001.

  • Huh, so that's an odd thing to do anytime, but especially given that on Friday he fired a board member on the federal agency that oversees nuclear reactors in America... Never thought I would have to say this, but hopefully these are unrelated to each other and only reflect his insane desire to ignore safety regulations...

  • Literally, that's why hardly anyone in the city or even that subreddit knew about the election? Bc it's was just being spammed sooooo hard?

    Here's a post reminding people to vote, that was allowed on that subreddit. This is where I ended up just copying and pasting the information that morning in a comment. Bc in that post, there was no helpful information included about the candidates people would be voting for.

    https://www.reddit.com/r/NewOrleans/comments/1lafng3/comment/mxq3lhf/

    Here is the only other post I had come across on that sub as of yesterday morning. It seems suspiciously skewed in favor of only one of the candidates:

    https://www.reddit.com/r/NewOrleans/comments/1lahnax/a_rare_louisiana_election_is_happening_this/

    In my opinion, making sure people in a local subreddit are aware of who/what they're actually voting for/against or choosing to sit out and not even bother to vote for/against, is very important. When the only other posts available seem to conveniently ignore or suppress important information, I would say it's a bit misleading to label attempts by a member of the community to simply spread factual information about both candidates "spam"
