The Biden Administration (No Lago)

[Neo Phonelobster Prime]

Actually the latest leaks have been in response to white house press briefings claiming that Israel is a perfect and sinless nation that has committed no war crimes in the last six months, not even 1!

Leak says fuck you higher ups you are secretly sitting on a bunch of recent official reports about Israeli war crimes you are refusing to acknowledge some of which date back to even before October 7th.

The leaks are not always back handed press briefings.

Today I learned there is a specific sub group of the State Department that exists solely to take in Leahy violations in relation specifically to Israel and then never ever ever ever ever ever ever produce an evaluation result, so they never have to acknowledge that it's illegal under US law to arm Israel.

It's called the "Israel Leahy Vetting Forum"

The Biden admin responded to Columbia university evicting students with no notice in violation of state law and ordering the cops to go in and bust heads so bad that the NYPD kept suggesting maybe Columbia should chill out by saying how the protesters deserve it:

"While every American has the right to peaceful protest, calls for violence and physical intimidation targeting Jewish students and the Jewish community are blatantly Antisemitic, unconscionable, and dangerous - they have absolutely no place on any college campus, or anywhere in the United States of America. And echoing the rhetoric of terrorist organizations, especially in the wake of the worst massacre committed against the Jewish people since the Holocaust, is despicable. We condemn these statements in the strongest terms."

What calls for violence? Whatever the press offices made up, we don't need to think about which ones. Just call all the jewish people protesting antisemitic and move on to the part where you say the protest is despicable and move on.

What calls for violence?

The idiots in power think they can just say that enough and then they can start imprisoning peace activists and using them as pretexts for their own bad actions and excuses for their own failures. They already have been using them as pretexts, and they are very clearly psyching themselves up to imprison them in large numbers. Probably when the shit hits the fan with a couple of extra zeros on the end of the civilian death toll when Raffa is attacked.

The repeat it three times on cable news and it becomes true thing is seriously wishful thinking by the worst idiots working in PR. Propaganda wars are more complex than that now, audiences are much more discerning. People say its tech, but really its the long term effect of how Iraq and the post Iraq media landscape was handled.

They destroyed their credibility but they act like they think they have more now than ever just because they purged all anti-war anti-empire voices from the main stream after Iraq. But it just made them look even less credible and fed into alternative news sources becoming so big, and it is already biting them hard in the ass.

How much more does the living in fake news as if it is reality strategy have to hurt their chances of re-election and their ability to even have international diplomacy, or even international trade? What will it take before they decide maybe you cannot actually make your policy decisions as if your propaganda campaigns are real?

They just arrested a bunch of students at Yale for protesting against the genocide, so a point for PL on guessing mass incarceration for protesting college students. I wonder if we'll get another Kent State or if it'll "just" be mass arrests of peaceful protestors who oppose our genocidal government. We'll probably be seeing more protests now that we're going to be sending another 20 billion or so to Israel. Expect lots of images of cops brutalizing college students.

Stay safe if you're protesting, folks.

[Kaelik]

Obviously there are a million ways we know the police are full of shit, but one way is that there have been so many successful dearrests by protestors surrounding cop vans.

If anyone really thought the people being arrested were actually a threat to anyone they probably wouldn't just release them as soon as they get surrounded.
