Funny how all the major parks in US cities and highways just happen to always destroy a minority neighborhood.

Oh man, this brings back so many memories. Some of those aren’t even mine!
Username checks out.
You're my favorite person on here.
Wanna know some state secrets?
I dunno, how much you asking? And will it give me leverage over the leadership of a 3rd world country?
Fifty acres and a mule. And only if my house is considered a third world country.
Deal! Hey, you ever thought about the prime minister of Malaysia at all? I had this Zoolander guy lined up but he flaked on me
-
That never happened
-
There's no proof that happened
-
It's more complicated than you're describing
-
Those were just some bad actors
-
Okay, but that was under the Other Party. My Party would never do that

(Repeat 1. Thru 4.)
-
Okay but we're reforming now. You should give us some credit!

It's all in the past! Why do you keep bringing up Old Shit?!

Whataboutism
This sounds like a modified Narcissist prayer.
I was unaware that there was an original one.
- Boarding Schools.
- Eugenics, including forced sterilization.
- Nuclear weapons.
- Internment of Japanese.
- Hiring of Nazis after WWII, after inspiring them before WWII.
The US helped to found and popularize the Nazi party. Ford and other industrialist literally bank rolled the Nazi empire. Ford built factories in Germany and let them keep the profits. Nazism was very popular in the US because its policies were based off US policies.
Hitler was inspired by the way the US genocided the Native Americans. This is where the Holocaust came from. When Hitler initially decided to expel the Jews wealthy industrialists lobbied the US government not to take them in. They helped stroke anti-Jewish sentiment in Europe and ensured that no other country would take them in.
This lead to the final solution. IBM and other US companies gave material support to the Nazi. Those numbers tattooed on Jewish prisoners were from a census system IBM developed. Later, they used their computing power to figure out how many jews to ship from the ghettos to the death camps without backing anything up. Basically they handled the logistics of the Holocaust.
could you provide a source for all that? it sounds correct, but i never heard that side of the story before so i'd like to know more
Mostly stuff I have read thoroughout my life, but I think someone wrote a book about IBMs part.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_and_the_Holocaust
I think the Henry Ford stuff is verifiable on the Internet. You can also lookup pre WW2 Nazism in the US.
thank you! :)
Hiring of Nazis after WWII, after inspiring them before WWII.
Don't leave out Unit 731, where they did shit that would make the Nazi's look like Jr high science experiments by comparison...who were given the exact same deals as Paperclipped Nazis
Indeed, all for medical science and biological warfare. The good old USA gave small pox blankets to the Native Americans, then there's Operation Sea Spray, and now 45,000 croak directly from a piss poor healthcare system and 200,000 die from contributing factors. WTF kind of social experiment is that?
I never realized we hired those guys, too.
Reconstruction failure, Jim Crow institutionalized which was the ultimate inspiration for the Nazis to model their claimed superior race society after.
And afterwards, South Africa copied both their notes to build Apartheid.
Don't forget that the US government gave Joseph Mengele a new identity. the Angel of Death... got a kiss on the lips, lots of money, and a good luck from America.
Mkultra is STILL treated like some nut job conspiracy theory.
I bring it up as example of how the government will do whatever to whoever and lie for decades, fuck the consequences.
People look at me like I'm crazy, and plenty have even straight up told me mk ulta isn't real, is just a conspiracy, just an excuse for hippies who did too many drugs, any number of "that didn't happen" excuses. Including "if it actually happened, we would know". To which I responded "THEY FUCKING ADMITTED IT" and that was the end of the conversation because I cursed and therefore lost an "argument" I didn't know I was in...
Ohio is crazy...
It was kind of an excuse for hippies who did too many drugs one if them was named Sydney gottlieb
I've never heard about the St.Louis Poisoning before.. Surely it cant be yet another immoral, insane, evil program targeting black americans, right?
...
...
Fuck
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_LAC
sounds more like they released a lot of dust to check how far the wind carries it
what i don't get is why didn't they just use some non-toxic substance
-
because they werent testing on white people
-
cause St.Louis specifically was a weapons test for the viability of using Zinc cadmium sulfide as a weapon against moscow
As bad as people hate to admit it, this is pretty much the direct cause of anti vax people and shit like it.
The government pretty much created the problem itself by doing this stuff.
This is why black people don't trust doctors.
antivax as a movement didnt come around until an asshole doctor lied about the safety of vaccines, to sell his own vaccine.. and took off like a rocket when that miserable Jenny McCunthy decided it had to be vaccines, and not genetics, that caused her not to give birth to the perfect blond haired blue eyed child she deserved.
Henrietta Lacks
Lacks was the unwitting source of these cells from a tumor biopsied during her treatment for cervical cancer at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1951. These cells were then cultured by George Otto Gey, who created the cell line known as HeLa, which is still used for medical research.[9] As was then the practice, no consent was required to culture the cells obtained from Lacks's treatment. Neither she nor her family were compensated for the extraction or use of the HeLa cells.
That's such a tricky one because unlike the other examples, this has benefited humanity. There's no going back on it and until other cell lines are more common, we can't really discontinue using the HeLa cells.
At the very least though, that whole family shouldn't have to work a day in their lives from all the profits the private pharmaceutical have generated from it. If I was a part of that family, I'd demand a full ride scholarship from Johns Hopkins.
There is much more than that. 9/11 is not even on this list and that was a huge wake up call for millions of people. Many millions distrusted the official covid story as well, the origins of the virus.
And the current war in iran is obviously not to prevent nuclear weapons. The strait of Hormuz is not going to open for many years. Because its intended and is part of a plan for how the worlds most important resources, like oil and fertilizer, is going to be limited in order to create massive problems in the world.
The YouTube Predictive History channel is talking about all of this, and the video Trump World Order is a must watch.
Wait until you hear about al Qaeda .... And depending on how far back you want to go... 1980?
I read about MK Ultra, and that is some weird, fucked up shit. Also, most of the records were destroyed, so who knows what else they got up to? Fucking monsters.
I didn't remember exactly but also Japan has that unit 731 or whatever? That was insane as well.
Nearly every country has had or currently has some wildly shady shit going on.
Yes indeed. It's almost as if power has the ability to corrupt and people aren't all inherently good.
Don't forget the Phoenix project. 85k Vietnamese civilians assassinated or tortured to death by the CIA.
So... a funny thing actually just happened...
CIA whistleblower testifies in Congress that the CIA basically raided the DNI (Tulsi Gabbard)'s office, to retrieve various files relating to JFK and MKUltra, that Trump had actually ordered be unsealed.
Anna Paulina Luna corroborates this.
Fox News (nation wide) runs a segment on this with Jesse Waters.
Then, a bunch of people change their tune.
Paulina Luna claims her comments were misconstrued.
Gabbard denies that this happened.
Jesse Waters removes this, his own segment, from his own social media.
Gabbard's PR person says basically 'no, a raid did not happen on that day, but about a year earlier, the CIA did confiscate some documents from the DNI, and they still have them.'
... at least that is my current attempt to comprehend this.
So uh... the DNI is supposed to be in charge of the CIA.
But, if you know anything about the CIA... they do whatever the fuck they want, to whoever they want.
There is only a single example of someone ostensibly directly in charge of the CIA that actually attempted to reign in the CIA and hold it accountable, make it stop doing things it wanted to do.
His brain got painted all over Dealey Plaza, in 1963.
EDIT:
Another thing that I am... confused, currently, by:
How is it possible that... there exist any MKUltra documents... that could be declassified?
In the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, in 1977, then CIA Director Stansfield Turner, explained that in 1973, the CIA Director at that time Dick Helms... ordered all the MKUltra documents to be destroyed.
But, approximately 20,000 documents were missed by this desctruction order, mostly financial and accounting documents, still remaining in basically a forgotten annex in DC.
To the best of my knowledge... those 20,000 documents are what comprise essentially the corpus of what has been discussed since 1977, they're what's been poured through to figure out who was getting paid to do what kind of work at which kind of site in whatever location, with what kinds of equipment, etc.
So... did... did we just miss some of those, somehow?
Or... did Turner lie to the Senate in '77... and... there were at that time, and still existing to the present currently... more documents than those which survived this supposed destruction order under Helms?
Like genuinely, I am misunderstanding something here, or is that not the implication of 'there do in fact exist any potentially unclassifiable MKUltra documents'?
Don't forget operation condor and the Jakarta method
Ron Funches' routine was great. "You don't believe any conspiracy theories? Like, you just believe the government is batting 1.000 in terms of telling the truth?"
Well at least Operation Northwoods never happened. It was just a draft and Kennedy refused to sign it into action. Don't get me wrong, it is pretty fucked up that it came that far, but at least it never went into action.
