Oh, maybe I’m conflating the Taliban with Al-Qaeda a bit (and [for the next part of this] maybe even ISIS too a bit? idk) ~ I’m no Whitney Webb for this stuff, so do use several websearch engines likely to be honest about this stuff for yourself, but…

Tim Osman? (Whom you may know by another name.)

Then after that there was that guy they once called a terrorist, then put a suit on and invited to the white house… I’m terrible with names… was it… Ahmed al-Sharaa/Abu Mohammad al-Julani?

Hard to keep track if not paying close attention.

Hard to keep paying close attention after seeing the same old ploys and fakery played out over and over.

“Pick up the gun”

“You all saw him. He had a gun.”

Taliban

Remember when the CIA funded and armed what became the Taliban?

Remember when the CIA had their guy running the Taliban?

Blessed are the meek.

YUS!

That’s the very line (and the rest of that bit) that got me out of advertising.

For the whole of the 3 months I was animating my first TV advert, I played a Bill Hicks VHS over and over in the background, wearing it out to snow.

Bill Hicks saved me, by telling me to kill myself. :)

Well some people don seem to realize what USAID stands for, and parrot the corporate media saying “U S aid” all the time. Like it’s a benevolent thing. XD

LOL. Yeah, it’s Putin that’s the problem. XD With all his military bases, all his many invasions, all his encroaching on other countries’ territories and breaching treaties… Ohhhhh wait…

Yup.

Wall street destroy 7 times as much wealth as they extract from us.

Military’s unfathomably more times than that.

Poverty’s very expensive too.

So even a little shifted from military to ending poverty (especially hunger & starvation), moves the line on the graph substantially.

To the prosperity of each and all.

US aid? Not USA ID?

So much fuckery impeding farmers.

Alleviate that, and we have so much headroom.

Like how much to shift the incentives

$2.19 per year

Well, glad you did the maths. That’s much more affordable.

… it’s just a ride. And we can change it any time we want. It’s only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here’s what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride: Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace. – Bill Hicks
