It's not that. Generally people who commit non violent crimes are either given the chance to turn themselves in, or they get the mid-day, unarmed police escort "walk of shame". Whenever something is outside the norm, any intelligent person is going to question why that is. And when fucking CNN "just happens" to be right there as the swat team makes armed entry into an old dudes house, that's even more sketchy. The fact that Stone seems like a greaseball to me doesn't distract me from that fact. Unless they have some serious other information that we're not privy to - i.e., a history of violence, owning a bunch of high caliber weapons, a vow not to be taken into custody- then I can't think of any other reason to do things like they did. If Sasha Obama had been dragged out of her dorm in the middle of the night by the local PD for weed posession, and FOX News was on hand to catch it all on film, I would wonder the same exact thing.
This just looks and smells like propaganda. -

It's painfully plain to precocious pop promoters that Pepsi is particularly palatable and pointedly preferred by partisans of party pleasures for it's proven, pristine purity and preponderant preeminence. -

2019-01-26 at 3:22 AM UTC in Trump Wall vs Mexican LadderI'm not reading 3 extra pages my bad.
1) A wall is a cheap partial solution. If a wall reduces illegal immigration by 20%, it'll have paid for itself in one years time.
2) when America strongly encouraged immigration, it was LEGAL immigration during industrialization, fed through one of our ports of entry.
3) when all those people came, there was no social safety net. You lived it does by your own wits. There was no welfare. Each year we spend between 80 and 115 billion dollars in welfare for illegal immigrants. Sympathy is cool, but not everyone in the world has the RIGHT to a life here...no more than I have a right to go to the UK and get free housing, food, medical care, education,etc. We can't feed and clothe and house the whole world. Most are economic migrants. And that's not mentioning the big one, which is....
4) Mexico is the corrupt shithole it is, purely because the exchange of guns and drugs is so incredibly easy.Most comes via trucks and shit, but plenty is brought in foot as well. -

Also I just noticed Syria has now petitioned the UNSC to pressure israel into stopping the attacks, otherwise they're going to start bombing Tel Aviv airport in kind. -
2019-01-23 at 5:46 AM UTC in January 2019 - Rapid Escalation of jedi Trickery in SyriaThis is the third time I've tried to write this, so apologies for the delay.
As you may have gleaned from mainstream media, israel has recently re-escalated the airstrikes on Syria after they'd been forced to stop following the incident leading to the Russian IL-20 being shot down.
On the day of January 21st, two israeli F-16s attempted to strike a target at Damascus International Airport - they fired seven missiles (likely Delilah-type cruise missiles, though no official word yet), all of which were intercepted and shot down by Syrian air defence. Presumably humiliated, the IAF took to Twitter to scold Syria for ‘aggressively shooting down their missiles’ (yes, seriously), and launched a much larger scale attack several hours later.
The second attack was again launched from F-16s, as before from the airspace of southern Lebanon. This time, however, an estimated 40 missiles were launched with 25-30 intercepted (no official account has been released at this time). Along with the significantly higher number, other munitions were used as well - at least one IAI-HARROP anti-radar drone was used toward the end of the attack, and it was able to destroy a PANTSIR-S1 complex after the PANTSIR had expended all munitions and was awaiting reloading. Officially, one PANTSIR was destroyed and material damage was done to several warehouses on the grounds of Damascus International Airport. Four SAA soldiers were reported killed and six injured, presumably the PANTSIR’s crew.
The reason for the uptick in attacks, including the now-infamous Christmas Day raid is likely the result of the transfer of potent S-300-PMU2 systems from Russia. Syria has long-desired to purchase the long-range SAM complex, but for years the purchase was placed on hold due to israeli influence, specifically their fear that the advanced long-range radar of the system could put a stop to israeli air superiority, and by extension their ability to attack with impunity within the region. Following the aforementioned incident where israeli attacks led to the destruction of a Russian recon plane (and the death of all servicemen on board), Russia immediately began the transfer of S-300 units to Syria as well as deploying many of their latest ECM complexes down the Syrian coast, which is why the recent israeli attacks have all come from the south of Lebanon.
The S-300s are not yet fully operational though. It would seem that their radar is partially integrated into Syria’s anti-air network given that their intercept rate has risen to roughly 80% since the transfer, but the systems are presently being (passively) operated by Russian veterans while the SAA is trained on their use. The official timetable is for the SAA to be able to operate them independently by ‘late January’, but the Russian MoD made the statement today that Syrian crews are not yet fully trained.
Knowing this, it appears that israel sees its ‘window of opportunity’ to attack with impunity rapidly closing, so what is their goal in ramping up the attacks?
Israel's party line is that they're attacking Iranian and Hezbullah forces, claiming it to be some sort of pre-emptive ‘self-defence’, but the claim is dubious (and justification absurd). For one, there is no significant Iranian military force in Syria, IRGC or otherwise - they're assisting the SAA in the context of training, intelligence and advisement, and the only forces they have are small groups to guard their advisors. Hezbullah has done much of the heavy lifting in the war; Iran has only provided support.
For another, israel has been regularly targeting Damascus Airport, which is in the South of the country where, for the most part, Hezbullah does not operate. This was actually negotiated to appease israel - when the SAA moved to retake Daraa and Quineitra, israel was terrified that Hezbullah would move to retake their occupied Golan (judging by chatter between Hez and the SAA, it's likely they were right) so an agreement was made through Russia that Hezbullah would not participate and israel would not attempt to hinder the offensive. As a result, most Hezbullah activity is in the north and northeast of the country.
The real reason for these attacks, I believe, is to goad Syria into responding, and in turn to draw her (and her allies) into a wider war. Israel's goal has always been to destabilize Syria and destroy it as a functional state in order to weaken Iran - it played no small part in initiating the war in Syria, and has long supported rebels of all stripes (including Al-Nusra, ISIS and most of the US and Turkish-backed factions) with money, munitions and medical treatment (it may have been Turkey that bought oil directly from ISIS, but for the most part israel was always the end-buyer). One by one, all of their plans have failed, and they absolutely do not want to see the Syrian state rebuilt.
It's important to note that israel, Iran and most regional powers see a future war as inevitable given that the sides have goals that directly contradict one another - israel has no chance of winning a direct conventional war alone (I even question whether they could ‘win’ with their undeclared nuclear stockpile), doubly so if Iran is supported by China and/or Russia, so she’s going out of her way to create a conflict that draws in her traditional US and European ‘allies’ before Syria, Iran and Hezbullah (and Iraq to a lesser extent) are able to regain and consolidate their strength.
In short, we can expect a lot more jedi trickery in the near future. Once the S-300s come online it’s likely the SAA will begin taking aim at the F16s rather than just the missiles they're firing as the S-300s are IFF-capable (a large part of the reason why the SAA hasn't tried to down them recently is because the jets have been ‘hiding’ behind aircraft with much larger radar cross-sections - this is how the IL-20 was shot down, and they repeated the stunt by ‘hiding’ behind commercial craft on Christmas day), so we can expect some very loud kvetching and rapid escalation should that play out. -

2019-01-18 at 11:16 AM UTC in Trump Wall vs Mexican LadderA wall itself is only part of it - ideally it'd be made of something difficult to cut or crash through with a deterrent like spikes or razorwire on the top - but in terms of stopping people, a wall only slows them down. A border enforcement team is still required to stop people from breaking through it.
Like the recently-built Crimea-Ukraine wall, the point isn't to stop people by virtue of it being there, it has sensors every few hundred metres so that base camp is notified when someone tries to climb or damage it, so that soldiers or border enforcement can be dispatched. Both components are required if you can't either build a completely impervious wall or want to spread your enforcement team thin and keep them in a perpetually aggressive posture -

That sort of sounds logical, but you also need to remember that the USA has the most blacks of all developed countries, and murder is mostly a black thing. Remove the blacks and the USA starts to look like a boring West European country.
But that's not even a good argument, as blacks use guns to kill. -

HTS is just being edgy. It'd be interesting to find out where your ancestors lived, and even visit the house they lived in. We get yanks coming over from America all the time for that, but the records here aren't always the greatest.
And place matters, the jedis literally chose to invade a country and take it over in order to live in the same place their ancestors did. -
