Bari Weiss’ CBS is what the tech fascists mean by creating “parallel” journalism.

Create new fake brands (“The Free Press”) or hollow out existing brands and replace with right-wing clones.

Or both!

That’s why I included her in the “Mirror World Mafia” last year.

Biden's labor secretary had a fantastic deal with US Steel and labor unions to build all wind turbines here in the US with unions. That's all out the damned window now.
Burgum on wind energy: "It wasn't even actually green because when you look at the components, the magnets, the blades, everything that goes into building this thing, you can really question whether it was green in the first place"

The Trump administration is recalling nearly 30 career diplomats from ambassadorial and other senior embassy posts as it moves to reshape the U.S. diplomatic posture abroad with personnel deemed fully supportive of President Trump’s “America First” priorities. https://to.pbs.org/48QSJMF
Trump recalls nearly 30 career diplomats from ambassadorial and embassy posts
All of them had taken up their posts in the Biden administration but had survived an initial purge in the early months of Trump’s second term that targeted mainly political appointees.

EPSTEIN: If Todd Blanche's is correct when he said on Meet the Press that Trump has wanted the Epstein files released from even before the election, then why weren't they, and why is Blanche simultaneously saying DOJ could not meet the Congressional deadline because they now need more time?

“What's happening to CBS is a terrible embarrassment and if execs think they can build shareholder value by avoiding journalism that might offend the Mad King they are about to learn a tough lesson. This is still America and we don’t enjoy bullshit like this.”

In English we know it as “Carol of the Bells,” but the melody arises from a Ukrainian folk tradition of songs welcoming the new year and summoning the forces of nature to meet human labor and bring prosperity.
Do listen.
I wrote about the history here: snyder.substack.com/p/o-generous...
Another beautiful Shchedryk performance amidst ruins.

It was set in what used to be a DTEK thermal power plant — now destroyed by russia.

The contrast between russia’s destructive nature and the Ukrainian will to create beauty even in the darkest times is palpable.

My totally speculative theory on CBS is that when the WH saw the story, someone called an Ellison, who called Bari Weiss in a panic over the Warner Bros. bid, ordered her to kill it

Only a non-journalist (Ellison) would be too dumb not to understand killing the story just made things 100X worse

The director of the FDA is using unverified submissions to the VAERS database to claim the Covid vaccine resulted in 10 pediatric deaths.

Anyone can submit anything to VAERS. To demonstrate, a doctor famously reported that the flu shot turned him into the Incredible Hulk.

Let’s be clear: these are extrajudicial killings. “Kill them all” Hegseth needs to be held accountable.

What’s more, Trump promised the American people no new wars but is now manufacturing this conflict & lying about his motives.

This warmongering has got to stop.

To recap—Trump pardoned Juan Orlando Hernández, who was convicted of receiving millions in bribes & partnering with cocaine traffickers to flood American streets with drugs, but to protect American streets from being flooded with drugs, he has to mass murder innocent fisherman with impunity.
