  1. Mastodon.ie has a 500-character limit on toots, so I had to radically edit a much longer draft. I zapped a whole para on the wickedness of both crimes.

    So for the record, let me clear that I deplore both 9/11s. Unequivocally. No ifs, no buts.

    I deplore any to attempt to rank the 2 crimes. Both were premeditated violence against civilians. Neither act was defensive. In each case, criminals set out to create mass casualties, and succeeded in killing 3,000. #Kissinger & #BinLaden were both scum.

    >> Unaffected by tales of suffering in #Argentina, #Kissinger told its FM in 1976 “If there are things that have to be done, you should do them quickly.”

    50 years later, unaffected by tales of suffering in #Gaza, #Trump greenlit further death and destruction by telling #Netanyahu, ‘Do what you have to do’.

    The Iran War Just Broke the Petrodollar (Bloomberg)

    – 'The virtuous loop that has seen America underwrite stability in the Middle East in exchange for Gulf states recycling their dollar revenues into US Treasuries has been broken.
    The understanding traces back to 1974, when Henry Kissinger struck one of the most consequential financial deals in modern history. Saudi Arabia would price its oil in dollars and park the surpluses in US assets — Treasuries above all. Other Gulf states followed. In exchange, America provided security guarantees and a stable global order.

    The arrangement was elegant in its circularity: Oil consumers paid dollars for energy, those dollars flowed to Riyadh and Abu Dhabi, and from there back into Washington’s debt. For 50 years, this petrodollar loop quietly subsidized American borrowing costs and cemented the greenback’s role as the world’s reserve currency.
    The US-Israeli war with Iran has fractured this arrangement — at both ends...'

  25. @InfoMgmtExec @georgetakei Yes, since the 1960s :blobcatgooglyholdingitsheadinitshands:

    Back then they added a brand new prize to their #Nobel ceremony, Economic Sciences, so they could promote captalism.

    And a few years later, in 1973, they gave prizes to Heinz Alfred #Kissinger (Peace) and to Nazi scientist Konrad #Lorenz (Medicine), basically honoring the bloody influence that radical German ideas often do have on our world.
