USA has become a threat to the world - pushing us closer and closer to WW3

Hi Annie

Not everyone is as nice and caring as you.

Understanding that empowers you, we can beat them.

They use their power and wealth to play games with us, they rely on this to keep themselves in power and luxury.

They need a constant income stream to maintain their wealth.

The richest man in the World, Elon Musk, thinks he is above the law.

Boycott him, do not use Twitter, do not buy a Tesla, do not buy anything he sells.

Boycott Amazon, plenty of other suppliers online.

It really is that simple and it would not take long.

I don’t think a few old codgers on an obscure forum will bring down Musk or Bezos Swimmy, people go for the cheapest and softest option these days. We gave them the wealth and power but the genie is out of the bottle and it’s going to need someone with the same wealth and power to upend them…It would be like hiring a gunfighter to clean up the western towns, and then the gunfighter ends up running the town…

You’ve just described Trump.

A bully is a person who uses superior strength, influence, or intimidation to repeatedly harm, control, or demean someone perceived as weaker, often involving repeated aggressive behaviour like threats, insults, or social exclusion.
Guess who …

She was (presumably) going home…or somewhere…in a very normal manner. She even had the forethought to reassure someone that she wasn’t going to harm him in any way. What an absolutely shocking assassination and illustrates that the fat, disgusting man at the top, likes to recruit people who have the same filthy disposition.

I don’t condone violence in any form Lofty, but at the same time I don’t condone the media enhancing the facts or giving the full story. We have no right to draw conclusions from the reports, and people are basing their hatred on the evidence presented to them.
Don’t mistake my scepticism for my support of the shooter or Trump.
I just don’t know what really happened that day so I won’t make any judgements, but It doesn’t stop me asking questions on the forum from folks who appear to be absolutely sure who was at fault.

There are countless eye-witness and verified bona fide videos Bob, many covered by large media stations/outlets. It really isn’t hard to see that it was murder:

- YouTube

Everything Trump and his disgusting vile enablers have said are clearly lies:

Ran him over? Hard to see he’s alive? He sure did have a spring in his step when he walked back to his vehicle - the disgusting piece of filth!

I would be extremely worried about the state of someone’s mind if after seeing the videos they still (genuinely) believed the Trump narrative, they clearly have some sort of severe mental issue, and those who keep pushing that narrative knowing full well Trump’s lies are lies, well they are the filth of this world - people who have no place in the future of humanity, just the destruction of it.

As always tho, the billionaires and trillionaires are to blame for pretty much everything - from screwing our planet up to screwing people and society up, just so they can get richer and fatter and more disgusting by the day! Ugh! The scourge on our planet!

Anyway back on topic, the deranged orange man’s latest letter to the Norwegian Prime Minister is astonishing - he’s like a spoilt little brat!!

Dear Jonas,

Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America.

Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway?

There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also.

I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States.

The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland.

Thank you!

President DJT

What a CHILD! And what a DANGER to the world!!!

[OldGreyFox]

Sorry Azz but I rarely read or watch links…Usually for every link you find, there are just as many links to the contrary, and with AI and grok it’s getting increasingly difficult to eek out a bonafide account of anything. And then there are the mind games that the establishment, aided by the media, play.
I prefer to remain objective in most things…

[Azz]

If your sources are untrustworthy then you may want to find better sources Bob. Yes, in an age of AI we need to think more critically and determine what may or may not be fake, but in this case the footage I have posted has been universally verified as bona fide (but don’t take my word for it, even the BBC posted the same footage - mentioning them because you linked to them in this thread yourself). Heck, even the vile shooter released part of the footage himself thinking it’d absolve him (it doesn’t).

[Psmith]

Trump supporters always blame the fake news.Even when they see him spouting his rubbish.

[Bruce]

@Morticia

I think Canada has a far better Prime Minister than we do. Carney was pretty stable as our Governor of the Bank of England so he’s ideal as a PM having to deal with financial and trade leverage/blackmail/shennanigans.

He certainly has got the measure of Trump ans successfully countered every one of the latters moves against Canada.

OGF we (currently) have every right to draw our own conclusions from reports and people do base their opinions on the information presented to them and discuss those opinions with others. That is how the legal system has always worked. That is how freedom of the press works, that is how a free society works. Nobody has challenged the validity of the video clips circulated by the media worldwide. Nobody in the team at the White House has said they are fake.

Although we are heading to a dangerous AI world where we may not in future be able to voice those conclusions or see the truth or trust what we are presented with. We should all be fighting to protect that right to draw our own conclusions don’t you agree?

I’m surprised because judging by your past posts I thought you were against a surveillance society, against mind control and against propaganda. Have you changed your mind?

Azz yes the clip is real and this has not been disputed by the White House, but Tik Tok as a platform could be any representation of a fake human talking because now they can mimic any language and change the mouth to appear as if the person in a video is speaking in that language.

Most people can still pick up it’s fake, but the future tech may become so sophisticated we will be hard pushed to tell.

We are now being encouraged to use AI at work to “help” us with interpretation of documents and to interrogate our files to analyse contents so we don’t have to read them all. It really is incredibly sinister when you think of the implications. Nobody has been consulted on this creep of AI into our societies. Nobody has voted for this.

Trump is heartily encouraging the rollout. You are agreeing with him if you blindly trust platforms that use it.

The tragic killing of this woman is not bringing the world closer to a world war. It does bring the US closer to internal conflict. Rather, the blatant lies by this administration about the rights / wrongs of this killing are stoking the fires of internal conflict. You do not need frame by frame analysis of the shooting to simply ask the question - why did the ICE officer not simply step to one side? The question on if the car clipped him or if the woman intended to hit the officer are not important. The primary question is why did the officer opt for drawing his gun rather than stepping out of the way? There is only one answer - he decided that the use of his gun was preferable to taking easy and simple steps to avoid any risk.
The second question, given it is so very clear that shooting the woman was the decision made by the officer, is why is this Trump administration blindly backing such a bad decision by the officer? They cannot possibly think that shooting innocent people is a good thing. So they must think that supporting the officer is a better option than agreeing to a full and independent inquiry. They want to support an obvious killing so that ICE work and abuses can continue uninterrupted. And they appear to want such internal conflict.

I don’t and I don’t.

But AI is here, so you need to essentially sharpen up your critical thinking skills and do what you can to determine what may or may not be fake. Most of the videos I post are by real people, based on many things, including how they interact with other people. Like you said as it stands right now it is still relatively easy to spot a fake.

I feel sorry for the next generation though, and why it is more important than ever to rid ourselves of rulers/billionaires/trillionaires and their enablers, because humanity could well be doomed otherwise:

Billionaires (and their enablers) are to blame - for pretty much everything

Inspired by our hugely successful thread in this section for the The Humanitarian Crisis In Gaza let’s start this one to highlight the crisis that humans and our planet are facing because of billionaires and this horrible version of capitalism that is being forced on us. As with all threads in this section, this thread may only contain posts in support of the thread topic, so: Videos/memes/quotes/comments highlighting inequality and the downsides of greed or hoarding of wealth are welcome V…

We shouldn’t have to do this. Not without any consultation or agreement. It’s been launched without any controls onto an unsuspecting public. It’s a massive worldwide project that we have had absolutely no say in and which will severely restrict our liberties and human rights in future. People are blind-walking into a very depressing future.

@Azz

Completely agree with this US congressman in his interview with Sky News:

Well he didn’t mince his words … he has a very low opinion of Europeans and is quick to tell us what to do … except … he’s forgetting it’s HIS American President who they voted in. We didn’t.

I suspect he’s more interested in scoring points in domestic politics …did you see, in the end he strutted off rather than answer questions.

[Azz]

What makes you think he has a low opinion of Europeans (he is a European American after all). He seems to be trying to get spineless European leaders to wake up if anything - I completely agree with him on that, they all take the mick out of the orange pile of poo behind his back but kiss his backside in person. As Gavin said, it’s pathetic…
