>> Like I said before, my X feed has turned into a cesspool of themes straight out of the Q Continuum. So, are you following the Star Trek people? There must be some explanation for you to get all this si-fi stuff. It didn't just happen. I haven't seen any mention of "Q" since the last time you brought it up. >> Twitter, X, Bluesky, it's all the same to me. Well, from your personal perspective I might understand that. But in the market place one is not like the others. And one is far more important than the others, because it doesn't really do censorship. For me, as a conservative, that's way up on my list. I witnessed what happened in 2020, as well as 2016 on a much lesser scale. It was damned serious and a huge threat to the American democracy. Had it not been for Musk taking over Twitter, then inviting Taibbi et al., to come in report on the government control, we would be in a far worse place today. Remember, it was these people -- Twitter and Zuck -- who got Biden elected -- a man who has been unable to hold regular Cabinet meetings, give speeches, and eventually collapsed mentally when you guys ran him again. And COULD have ended up electing this idiot HARRIS. Seems to me you would be worried about the mess you almost created more than the one Trump is going to lead the country out of.

Biden's overthrow of Asaad went worse than his Afghan capitulation. Jolani took US money for 20 years and only stayed bought for a week, if that. Syria's Jolani Vows To Disarm The Pentagon-Backed Kurds by Tyler Durden Monday, Dec 23, 2024 - 01:50 PM Two important things from Turkey’s Fidan, HTS leader Jolani presser: Jolani says they won’t allow any armed groups or factions in Syria, that includes US-backed SDF. • Fidan also said HTS is ready to take over ISIS prisoner camps and guard them pic.twitter.com/54jVSBOB5x — Ragıp Soylu (@ragipsoylu) December 22, 2024 The career jihadist and leader of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, met with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan in Damascus on Sunday, in a first since the overthrow of Assad earlier this month. Jolani, who now goes by his birth name of Ahmed al-Sharaa, was sporting a suit and tie for the first time as the PR effort to convince the world of his supposed 'moderation' continues. One of the more interesting moments from Sunday's presser came when Jolani put the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) on notice. Jolani emphasized that all weapons in Syria will come under state control. He declared that all armed "factions will begin to announce their dissolution and enter the army." Given that Assad's former Syrian Arab Army (SAA) is no longer in existence, this means HTS is working on establishing a national military under its command. In the remarks alongside the top Turkish diplomat, Jolani directly called out the Kurdish-dominated SDF, which has for years been trained and armed by the Pentagon: "We will absolutely not allow there to be weapons in the country outside state control, whether from the revolutionary factions or the factions present in the SDF area," he added, referring to the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces. Turkey views the main component of the US-backed force, which controls swathes of north and northeast Syria, as being linked to the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), its outlawed domestic foe. The "SDF area" of control is in reference to the Deir Ezzor and Hasakeh regions (east of the Euphrates) in the country's northeast, where the country's oil and gas fields are located. Currently the SDF is battling a Turkish offensive near the northern border area. The Turkish FM of course responded favorably to Jolani's talk of disarming and disbanding the Kurdish factions: "Türkiye’s foreign minister said after meeting Syria's de facto leader in Damascus on Sunday that there was no room for Kurdish militants in Syria's future, calling for the YPG militia to disband," a regional source said. It was obvious from the start that Turkish intelligence was a main player backing the HTS blitz across Syria which quickly led to the collapse of the Assad government, and now it's clear that Jolani will in turn do Turkey's bidding. A main goal of Erdogan's policy in Syria has remained to squeeze out US forces, so that Turkey can eventually stomp out the Syrian Kurds in the process. [url=][/url] Jolani's provocative pledge of disarming the Syrian Kurds while standing next to the Turkish FM sends a clear message of what the agenda is concerning the near future northeast battle theatre. It is also important to note that the Syrian Kurds (YPG/SDF) have long battled the jihadists of al-Nusra Front/HTS and other hardline Islamic factions throughout the war.

Isn't Bluesky where all the crazy commies fled after Musk opened up free speech on twitter?

Tenchusatsu: We think you would benefit from visiting Gaza, Lebanon or Yemen. You have stated unequivocally in the past that you think Israel is responsible for the well being of these homeless people. If you come to Gaza and observe what is going on there first hand, I think you will change your mind. You need to observe the Gazan people closely and then you will realize that there are no innocent Gazans, including most children. Yes, there are newborn babies that have been murdered during war time. But Israel has done its best to try to avoid this by giving Gazans advanced warnings of where they will attack. No other nations has ever done this, to my knowledge. Have a Healthy and Happy New Year
