This is why people who said for years “the Supreme Court needs to be abolished”. That was a moderate position!

Mark Joseph Stern @mjsdc.bsky.social · 1h

It is pretty galling that the Supreme Court spent four years telling Biden "you can't do that without Congress" then allowed Trump to seize a once-unthinkable amount of power from Congress within nine months and concentrate law-making authority almost entirely in the executive branch.

Pay close attention to how leading democrats answer the inevitable loaded question, “Do you support Antifa?”

Obvious answer: “I’m proudly anti-fascist”

Despite being from San Francisco I’ve never had any strong feelings about the warriors. If Curry takes this job tho I’m gonna test a lot of friendships with all the “fuck Steph Curry” I’ll be saying.

Hi, I'm Chris Pratt, you might know me as "Star-Lord". But there's nothing "Star-Lord" about the attacks of October 7th, 2023,

IDF Hannibal Brigade @hannibalbrigade.biz · 1d

This has since been corroborated by Yoav “human animal” Galant himself

Question from Amit Segal, one of the ugliest men in journalism:
Was the order given to use 'Hannibal Directive'?

Answer from Yoav “shitty Yoda” Galant:
I think tactically in some places it was,

Continued response from a genuine international fugitive for crimes against humanity:
…in other places it was not, and that is a problem.

I could post a lot about the different characters & scenarios, how this feels like the nexus-point of so many humanist scifi of the time, how it feels like a predecessor to even very recent works like Heavenly Delusion or Fire Punch...

But instead I'll make the wise decision:

Even Israeli press cites the Hannibal directive being activated that day. I wonder when, if ever, American public figures can reference the fact that Israel purposely killed their own people that day, or if we’ll ever have the numbers on how many Israelis the IDF targeted.

My statement on the two year anniversary of October 7, 2023.

“Two years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities.

In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: adeath toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered. Our government has been complicit through it all.

This must end. The occupation and apartheid must end. Peace must be pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes, and our government must act to end these atrocities and hold those responsible to account.

These last two years have demonstrated the very worst of humanity. We must answer it by modeling the very best: a relentless pursuit of our higher ideals and an unwavering commitment to universal human rights.”

Yoshiyuki Tomino has stated that in-setting, UC Gundam's space colony plan was israeli sponsored so they could claim more land as israel, but this would "never show on TV".

Tamaki Saito (psychologist, coined hikkikomori) says Palestine was an inspiration of UC Gundam. Anime academic Eiji Otsuka too

He is effectively the leader of the Anti Earth Union Group. At the same time, while he's known to produce various rumors, he never leaves behind any evidence that can be traced back to him.

While the AEUG itself is a fake organization, he was able to fleece his

enemies into believing its existence. He is the head of Anaheim Electronics and owns a production plant in the

city of Granada. He is Jewish.

He is the mastermind who is said to have had connections with both Zeon

and the Earth Federation government. At the same time, he is not particularly gifted in any sense, and is one of the many activists who pushed for the colony movement in order to fulfill

the ultimate goal of the Jewish people. This is very similar to the way the Jewish people control Hollywood. In other words, they intend to send all of the people on Earth up into the

colonies in order to reclaim the holy land of Israel for the Jewish people. He is really little more than an entrepreneur who plays a small role in this racial movement.

These details are never touched upon in the TV series.
