I’m in Mexico, and on those occasions I listen to Spotify with ads, for the first time I’m hearing ads in English from universities in Canada wanting to attract students from Mexico to do masters and PhDs there.
TIL that Egyptian Islamic Jihad (who assassinated Sadat) merged with Al Qaeda in June 2001. And that Ayman al Zawahiri, one of the main orchestrators of 9/11 and bin Laden’s #2, come to Al Qaeda from Egyptian Islamic Jihad.

“Boelter helped lead the private security firm Praetorian Guard Security Services”. Frankly, anyone who names a “security” company after the Praetorian Guard should be preemptively arrested.

Web site still up at time of writing.
Dr. Vance Boelter has been involved with security situations in Eastern Europe, Africa, North America and the Middle East, including the West Bank, Southern Lebanon and the Gaza Strip. He brings a great security aspect forged by both many on the ground experiences combined with training by both private security firms and by people in the U.S. Military. He has worked for the largest U.S. oil refining company, the world’s largest food company based in Switzerland and the world’s largest convenience retailer based in Japan.
Yeah, so he’s saying he worked at a 7-11?

271·2 days agoGavin Newsom has let L.A. burn to the ground…
Oh god, this old chestnut they keep trotting out. (Remember all those “entire cities burned to the ground” by Antifa and BLM 5 years ago?)
on so many occasions
Wait, what? Now they’re claiming the same governor has let the same city burn to the ground “on so many occasions”?
Well then, he gets my vote! If he’s competent enough to oversee rebuilding a burned metropolis not once, not twice but “so many” times in just two terms, this guy clearly gets shit done!

For anyone interested, it’s a play on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yanis_Varoufakis
Especially as the people who believe in “pizza place basements” are now running the show.

Ah, to let white supremacists proceed with dismantling democracy and human rights without interference from ‘wokes’ in the federal government?
However, in the former Confederate States, many paramilitary groups sought to suppress, often through intimidation and violence, African-American political power and return the South to rule by the predominantly white Democratic Party. Although African Americans were initially supported by the federal government, as Reconstruction went on, that support waned.[2] Following the bitterly disputed 1876 U.S. presidential election and Compromise of 1877, Congressmen and Senators from the former Confederate States returned to Washington and prioritized prohibiting the federal government from reimposing control over their states.
Yep.
Realpolitik is German for “short-term thinking that will eventually bite you in the arse”.
An obedient drone serving the monarchy? Cry me a river!
Cool, added to my watchlist :)
Harlon Carter, the racist vigilante killer who later led a takeover of the NRA and reshaped it in his image, was head of the Border Patrol at the time and a key figure in this.
Tubi also has Who Killed Captain Alex? from the same director.
PS for a while there, Tubi in Mexico would only let me see films dubbed into Spanish. But looking around now (on the website at least, not sure yet in the Roku app), it’s a mix:
- movies & TV shows dubbed into Spanish (with no option for original/English)
- movies in English / original language
- “Content unavailable” when you click on it (then why the hell are you pushing it at me???)
- a few linear TV channels, like ION, ION Plus
And it’s available on Tubi Mexico not dubbed into Spanish, with English subtitles. Sweet!
Queued up for later.
