there are plenty of videos of russians being gunned down by Ukrainian soldiers using captured Russian weapons. invading Ukraine is much harder than installing a puppet as American President.

might look for this, if I can stomach it. but we all know the basics already. book. David Corn, "American Psychosis" "David Corn’s AMERICAN PSYCHOSIS is essential reading for anyone hoping to restore political sanity in America. He argues convincingly that the toxic brew of bigotry, conspiracy theories, and lies that define Trumpism started long before Trump. Corn chronicles the Republican Party’s decades-long slide into the gutter and weaves this investigative history into a compelling narrative that is equal parts horrifying and entertaining. Corn has managed to make brilliant sense of American senselessness.”―Jane Mayer, author of Dark Money" I would be interested in a short biography of Roger Stone. essential footsoldier for the Republicans. very strange person.

this is happening right now in Municipal election, victoria. the crackpots have formed an alliance. a volunteer for them sent out a forged press release purporting to be from .the Vancouver island health authority, endorsing the crackpot candidates. so far, only private citizens have done anything. appears government agency responsible for municipal voting integrity, has decided to do nothing. likewise probably police. https://www.cheknews.ca/viva-victoria-fires-volunteer-accused-of-impersonating-island-health-in-fake-endorsement-email-1099952/

"On Feb. 12, 2022 former prime minister Stephen Harper gave an address to the Universal Peace Federation World Summit 2022 taking place in Seoul, South Korea. The UPF is the political arm of the Unification Church, founded by Sun Myung Moon and now headed by his wife Hak Ja Han Moon. For Harper, this was familiar turf. A regular at such events, two years earlier he had received a medal from the UPF. in August Harper made another pilgrimage to a high-profile event sponsored by the Unification Church. This time the setting was the Universal Peace Federation Summit and Leadership Conference in Seoul. At such events, high-profile speakers reportedly are paid “very generously.” Harper and other attendees were entertained by “Little Angels,” a charming girls’ choir in traditional Korean dress. Televangelist Paula White-Cain, Donald Trump’s touted spiritual advisor, gave a prayer for peace and thanked “Mother Moon.” (Hak Ja Han Moon presents herself as humanity’s “True Mother” who shares her husband’s dream of a global theocracy that will bring peace to all corners of the planet.) Harper, who was seated next to the U.S. delegates in the front row, joined the other participants in laying individual flowers in memory of the murdered Shinzo Abe." https://thetyee.ca/Analysis/2022/10/03/Why-Stephen-Harper-Tight-Moonie-Church/ This creep runs the Conservative ( in name only) party in Canada.

hurricane ian “From a long-range planning point of view, much of what we see today in southwest Florida should not be there,” said Tim Chapin, a professor of urban and regional planning at Florida State University. “The result is a sort of a poorly planned, real-estate profit-oriented place from the beginning,” Chapin said. “When you put that together with a massive storm, you’re coming up with a place with a very low resilience score from the start.” 👀 "CoreLogic Inc., a real estate analytics firm, projected that 7.2 million homes in Florida — worth a combined $1.6 trillion — are at risk of being damaged by flash flooding." can the librul eco nutz have been right? gosh! lots of info https://www.politico.com/news/2022/09/29/ian-ravaged-one-of-the-fastest-growing-areas-in-the-u-s-00059368

you know, I posted this exact thing in jest, on the discussion about ian.... warming thread, not realizing that it wasnt comedy. but when there are people this stupid, anything is possible:

"Two far-right pundits are spewing baseless a conspiracy theory about "weather manipulation" — claiming that Hurricane Ian was created by the so-called Deep State to target Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and other GOP-led states as "punishment." The comments were made by DeAnna Lorraine and Lauren Witzke, both former GOP congressional candidates, according to The Independent and RightWing Watch, a group that monitors right-wing activity. "We understand that the 'deep state,' they have weather manipulation technology," Lorraine said on her Telegram show, per a clip posted by the group on Friday, referring to the hurricane that struck the Sunshine State. "These huge hurricanes always seem to target red states, red districts, and always at a convenient time — typically right before elections," she added. "Or, in this case, possibly because Ron DeSantis has been stepping out of line a lot and challenging, fighting the 'deep state." " no bottom.

true, and this is not easily done.
