BLOOD WORK / EPISODE 14
COIN ALL THE WAY DOWN: A DISCOURSE ON COUNTERINSURGENCY
We look at the history and philosophy of a doctrine so broad and plastic that even its theorists concede it might not mean anything at all—because if it doesn’t mean anything, then maybe it means everything.

On the other hand, nothing steels my resolve in demanding better and refusing mediocrity than being reminded that this mindset is a transatlantic phenomenon and the Labour dead-enders here are just as wrong as the Democrats apologists over there.
i think even with all the atrocities of the fascists, nothing is more demotivating and nothing makes me want to disengage from politics more than being inundated with replies from people who do not know how to think about politics beyond “dems good and wanting more from them is bad”

![Le Cercle
Formation 1951
Founder
• Antoine Pinay
• Jean Violet
Type
Think tank
Le Cercle is an invitation-only foreign policy forum.
Initially its focus was opposing communism and, in the 1970s and 1980s, supporting apartheid when the group had intimate ties with and funding from South Africa." The group was described by British Conservative MP Alan Clark as "an Atlanticist society of right-wing dignitaries". 2)
As an elite conference, it is comparable to the Bilderberg meeting, but it is considered more secret and has no public and little media presence. Only selected and invited members are admitted to the meeting, and they are obliged to maintain secrecy.
[citation needed]
Agenda items and lists of participants are not published. Members include diplomats, high-ranking politicians, journalists, businessman, intelligence agents, civil servants, members of the high nobility and other influential personalities.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xusvyqwadkmbbd67hz7eyeqj/bafkreifeu4zja53xeed6z356tid5r6fmv6eggups2bsmx5mjvq6peltuzy@jpeg)
![Political changes in 1969 led to the addition of Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States with meetings held twice a year rather than three times a year as before. This led to a shift in objectives, which became an emphasis on forming a strong anti-Communist alliance between the United States and Europe.
Hänni stated that "The leaders of the group increasingly considered strategies to target public opinion and, to this end, formed a "Cercle network" of associated organisations, institutes and think tanks, which attacked both the Soviet Union and the perceived "leftist" governments or opposition movements in Europe and the Third World." Its members then and now tended to be strident anti-Communists, including members of the World Anti-Communist League. The Union of South Africa provided the only official delegation and the Cercle supported organisations such as Renamo, whose general secretary attended meetings, and Unita. 4]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xusvyqwadkmbbd67hz7eyeqj/bafkreihrn3inqhbupzk73n2ulipr5g2pyzx77tob7dgrgccs2xuzab5spm@jpeg)

So the logic, as I understand it, is that the Online Safety Act was necessary to protect children from exposure to pornography, and that young people should also be kept off of the government’s preferred social media channels so that adults can participate in the free exchange of child pornography.

Always remember that the type of men drawn to this type of violence work are insecure cowards seeking to fill some void of masculinity and valour, and so one of the simplest and most effective ways to frustrate their work is to deny them that fulfilment by mercilessly insulting and humiliating them.

Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."
