How can you have a war on terrorism when war itself is terrorism?

I can’t believe I totally missed the news of the shooting in DC two days ago. Very interesting.
“CIA director John Ratcliffe said in a statement that the attacker had worked with the agency “as a member of a partner force” in the southern Taliban stronghold of Kandahar before coming to the US.

The New York Times and several other US media reported that Lakanwal was a part of the so-called “Zero Unit”, a shadow Afghan force that worked alongside the CIA.

Human Rights Watch has accused the unit of extrajudicial and civilian killings and other abuses.

A friend told The New York Times that Lakanwal had a history of mental health issues and had been haunted by the unit’s conduct.” ( from https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/11/27/national-guard-members-shot-in-washington-dc-attack-identified )

so it seems (again) that #power has it's own rules & it is mixing all cards anew and anew

still I'm pissed as hell about the blatant breach of #InternationalLaw (apparently even for nothing) and about our elites cheering like cheerleaders to that

this will (again) come back as a boomerang

@paninid It is blowback. Given all the historical evidence that supports the #CIA and U.K. intelligence operatives advancing the growth of authoritarian regimes, is it not inevitable it has an interest in the U.S. becoming one? By working to raise the profits and enhance control of capital by the non-renewable interests of U.S. and U.K. transnational corporations, they have always been at war with civil rights. Corporate Sovereignty, not Republic Sovereignty has been sowing hell on Earth. It must be defeated, before the grim reaper gets its ecocide. There is still a chance to live long and prosper and secure the wellbeing and flourishing of an ethically sustainable morality. Choose the non-renewable death cults of a totalitarian world order or the democratic rights of diverse interests! #blowback #Authoritarian #dictators #TheFederation #EmpiresEnd #ecocide #FascistCults #WorldRevolution #FascistCultsHell #OligarchsEcocide #inequality #injustice #RubbleNations

#tariffs #blowback

"Sales to China of key commodities, like soybeans and pork, are plunging as the trade war begins to impact the domestic economy.

Why it matters: U.S. farmers export more than $176 billion in agricultural products annually — almost 10% of which is just soybean and pork shipments to China.

Losing even a fraction of those exports for the long term could be economically devastating.

By the numbers: In the week of April 11-17, net soybean sales were down 50% week over week and down 25% versus the four-week average, per data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Foreign Agricultural Service released Thursday.

Net pork sales were down 72% week on week and 82% versus the four-week average, the USDA said.

What they're saying: 'This is directly related to the tariff situation. There's no doubt about it, there's not some other magic behind-the-scenes thing going on,' Rob Dongoski, global lead for food and agribusiness at consultancy Kearney, tells Axios."

The basic idea of the "new" #capitalist #economy in the #USA is to make ANY #competition to them illegal on this planet.

No matter whether thats #ElectricCars, #CommunicationEquipment, #FighterJets or whatever, really.

They think the #world has no choice but to adapt to their ideas & demands, but oh boy they will look surprised when #blowback comes home. 😜

A note on #Microsoft's "#Recall" feature, the #blowback its announcement caused due to it being a #security and #privacy disaster, and their #WalkItBack attempt by announcing it will, after all, be #OptIn, rather than #OptOut.

Keep this in mind: Microsoft has not #earned your #trust. They made some strides starting in the mid-late oughts, but fell back into their previous ways starting some years ago.

You can see this in their constant selling-the-customer-down-the-river.

Hear, hear. Exactly; it's a link tax. And financially, it makes no sense to pretty much *anyone*, so the companies choosing not to pay to link was both predictable, and in fact predicted by many, many people - pretty much everyone except members of the Canadian #dinosaur #media, #politicians, and anti-capitalism #zealots.

#Spectacle of #lies’: the #blowback from #CNN’s #townhall with #DonaldTrump
Network bosses argue that increasingly polarised America needs to hear from both sides of debate - except audience members were told not to #boo or speak negatively - only #applause and #accolades allowed. This is called #propoganda and the kind T loves best - #Free #CNN is beyond #shameful https://archive.is/JbiYZ#selection-1445.1-1453.96
