I think the installed Al Queda commander not giving a shit that Israel was systematically destroying their civilian infrastructure was what really gave it away.
Pretty flimsy argument that they’re “linked” to Chinese military for having to comply with local data regulations. By the same argument, every EU, US, and Israeli vpn is as guilty.
Where in the first amendment does it guarantee funding for state media?
NPR folks can’t seem to make up their minds. Does it need the government funding or not? Because every time this comes up, the NPR defenders diminish the impact by saying only a small fraction of funding comes from the government, but now it’s somehow a showstopper if the funding stops?
The corporation for public broadcasting has been manufacturing consent for made up wars since their inception. I’ve heard them read CIA press releases verbatim on-air without even minimal pushback.

He's trying to keep the money and weapons flowing in. He’s also used the ongoing proxy war to justify not holding elections, and people remain pissed at him for pretending to be a peace candidate to get elected. Just like Netanyahu, he knows ongoing conflict is his best hope to hold onto his position.
He’s an actor who was hired to play a role by a European oligarch. The whole financial scheme was revealed in the Pandora Papers. This is just part of the act.

Nice symbolic move, but you still need to drive out the corporatists destroying your housing and healthcare. Plus this article is manufacturing consent for war profiteers who want to keep up the proxy war enriching Canadian weapons manufacturers, so it rings pretty hollow.
I’m not a fan of intellectual property law. I’m down to abandon it, once we establish an artist stipend to pay a regular salary for artists to live a life of dignity.
I’m not saying there aren’t great teachers, but I have family in education and know a lot of teachers, and I would not describe most of them as adaptable.
