The people who censored Gamergate on Wikipedia were working for Russia and Saudi Arabia by hyatt » Thu Jul 06, 2023 7:46 pm As they say, follow the money. There are Russian oligarchs with a lot of money: Meet the Russian Billionaires that Took on BP and Won. Herman Gref: CEO of Sberbank, Russian trade minister, and board member of the World Economic Forum American Billionaires Vanish From Russian Fund's Website (right when Gamergate happened) International Advisory Board: Leonard Blavatnik School of Government Edelman names Stan Polovets (of Alfa Group) as New Regional Chairman In Russia This last one leads to... The Edelman Dig Edelman senior account supervisor for social strategy Adam Rosenberg was part of the New Organizing Institute, a large number of Democratic Party campaign staff working for the AFL-CIO. Edelman was at this time taking orders from Russia (see Polovets above) and from Omar Qirem of Edelman Saudi Arabia. So when PR orders came in to Edelman from Russia and Saudi Arabia, Rosenberg could distribute these orders to the other campaign staffers that he had been working with for a decade. These included: 50 * Ari Rabin-Havt of the Democratic National Committee * Taryn Rosenkranz of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee * The Arab American Institute which is the vehicle that brought Rashida Tlalb into Congress * Amanda Michel of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society, and also The Guardian's Senior Editor for Strategy and Partnerships. As was observed, everything links back to The Guardian. * Blue State Digital which is sponsored by Anil Dash who is known for racketeering * Win Without War which signed a Letter of Solidarity Standing With NIAC which is a known front for the Iranian govenrment * Zach Exley of the Ruckus Society which advocates for violent "direct action" campaigns, and who was the Chief Community Officer for Wikipedia starting in 2010. * Eli Pariser, a co-founder of the Avaaz movement that is run by the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office as a front for Hamas. He is also a member of the Tech Advisory Board of the Anti-Defamation League with Reddit co-founder Steve Huffman, Facebook VP Guy Rosen, Crowdstrike president and former FBI Executive Assistant Director Shawn Henry, and Craig Newmark of Craigslist who is a member of the US-Palestinian Partnership. Some of the Wikipedia staff were working for George Soros's Open Society Institute. The significance of this is who Soros was working for. * Soros was partnered with Igor Ivanov of the Russian Federation, the Russian-controlled African National Congress party (ANC), Wadah Khanfar the head of Qatari state media Al-Jazeera, and multiple other foreign powers. * The chairman emeritus of the Soros organization was partnered with Qatar. * Soros's senior advisors include Prince Turki the former head of Saudi Intelligence hyatt Sucks Posts: 35 Joined: Mon Feb 19, 2018 12:04 am Been thanked: 20 times

Posted in Is it just me or has Google become unusable?

Google and DDG (which I believe uses Bing as a backend) seem to have forgotten the basic logical features that made Google popular to begin with. "Quotes" no longer restrict a search to exactly what you are searching for. They give you other results instead, and promote what is popular over what was requested. You can no longer -subtract a search term to filter out things you do not want. They show you random commercial results from your geographic area that have nothing to do with what you searched for, and these are put on the first page which promotes them above actual search results. If anybody can dig up the old design papers and develop a clone of 1998 Google, they might pull users away from the giant by having a search engine that actually returns what the user asked for.

Posted in how did reddit become a shithole?

It's one gigantic, site-wide circlejerk.

It's a gigantic, internet-wide circlejerk. The humongous PR firms that run "strategic communications" (trolling and censorship) for governments took over all of the biggest sites on the internet and started enforcing the contracts they were getting from Russia, Qatar, Pakistan, etc. No one will touch them because they are "intelligence".

Choosing where to start a story is one of the most challenging decisions a storyteller faces, and depending on who you ask, the best place to do so will be different depending on that person's sensibilities. Personally, I like to start any story I write in the middle of it, at a point of Status Quo that is Familiar and normal to the characters, but wildly strange and unfamiliar to the audience. It's an easy way to introduce characters, introduce them to the rules they operate within, and the expectations for the story, all at once without being too overwhelming. Therefore, nothing on this page is unintentional; every bit of it is crafted to carefully introduce newcomers to the basics, before hitting them hard with the content on the next page. A very loose rule of webcomics is that every page starts with an answer, and ends with a question. This page gives us a better look at that dude we could barely make out on the page previous, and ends on the question of "What has he Ffound?" By the way, I don't know if you can see it at this size, but there is a very, very slight area where you can possibly see where I had to expand the borders of the page to create a safer Bleed For printing. ("Bleed" is a printing term referring to any content that falls outside of the dimensions of the Final product, that will be trimmed away at the end of the process. Standard Bleed sites are 0.125in (O.3175cm) on every side, but we elected for a 0.25in (0.635cm) For this book.) KHMP

Posted in Politics General

It's not as if it's new. People forget how much of 'establishment' was for the Iraq War. This isn't a party problem, it's an American leadership problem.

Yeah, I remember that. Saddam was contained, diplomatic pressure was working, and we hadn't won the war in Afghanistan and should have finished up there. (And we saw how that turned out.) However, just like the Patriot Act, there was no debate within the establishment. The only groups that opposed the war were the Stalinists (who went with the message that they support Saddam), the ChiComs who ran the Not In Our Name movement, and the al-Qaeda fronts. So the people who wanted to oppose the war for reasonable reasons, they ended up rallying behind some very unsavory people. And the nutters ended up running the government under Obama, and this fact is only starting to trickle down to the public because the establishment media has been denying it all the time.

She's human female with some space-bird DNA, so it's safe to assume she has human genitalia and no feathers. Chozo are not depicted as very feathery either, and since Samus has regular hair and eyebrows it's safe to assume the rest of her body hair remained the same. BUT, and this is a big point. SAMUS IS NOW A SPACE-SUCCUBUS. CNAW She has metroid DNA in her, and a metroids primary method of attack is to drain the life-force of an enemy that it is attached to in larval form by sucking creatures up inside it. If you stick your d--- in Samus, she effectively has the power to drain your life-force from you via your d--- which is lodged inside her. And since she has super-strong bird DNA mutations and metroid DNA she likely has the kegel strength to hold you in place so you can't pull out. But also, remember that it's not one-way. The Baby clearly showed that sucking the life-force is a conscious action, meaning it has to intend to suck the life out of you, but even more importantly, Samus also has the ability to reverse the energy flow to give you energy. Just like the Baby did in the final battle with Mother Brain's biped form. Samus could, in theory, f--- a bunch of guys and steal their life-force and then restore it back to you in order to save your life. Samus is not only a succubus, but she can use her succubus powers to cuck you back to full-health (and possibly beyond, given her state after the incident with Baby and Mother Brain).

Posted in Suggest your idea for a cartoon/comic

I'd pitch a serial comic made from my Smash Brothers parody where they run around to different dimensions to recruit new fighters for the tournament. The gimmick would be that every time they switch dimensions, the comic would be drawn by a different artist in the artist's own style. A publisher could develop a new talent pool that way.

Posted in Ancient Meme Appreciation Thread

Mr. T. vs Everything was one of the more widespread memes on the internet in the days before Flash. There were hundreds of people making their own comics from the same stock images until the A-Team fan sites went down.

ToTL's War in Heaven incorporates several popular memes of the time: Bob from Subgenius, Eris from Principia Discordia, Linus Torvalds as a god of the Internet.

Posted in We Need A Strong United European Union

We need a European Union run by an alliance of Euroskeptics because the people running the current one are idiots for all of the reasons that the Euroskeptics have been citing over the years. The Euroskeptics can dump the EU leadership into the North Sea and then they'll find out that there are a lot of things they agree on and they'll have a new union up and running in a short time.
