Always remember - the biggest liars and propaganda-pushers are those that work for the rich and powerful (i.e. the establishment).

Here's a big one -> https://fair.org/home/npr-distorts-history-of-us-invasion-of-afghanistan/

In the wake of the 9/11 attacks, the US demanded that the Taliban immediately hand over Bin Laden. The Taliban responded by offering to put Bin Laden on trial if they were shown evidence of his involvement in the attacks. The US refused to share proof, rejecting any diplomatic option.

Bush announced, “There are no negotiations,” then proceeded to bomb Afghanistan, despite numerous warnings from both humanitarian organizations and anti-Taliban forces in the country that their actions would only hurt the Afghanistani people. Even after the bombs began to fall, the Taliban repeated their offers to give up Bin Laden—even dropping the requirement for actual evidence. The US continued its onslaught, initiating the 20-year odyssey of occupation that unraveled last year.

RIP Olivia Newton-John.

She was my childhood crush.

Every time one of her songs came on the radio, I was instantly transported to places in my mind where I wanted to meet her, got out with her, go on adventures (I was a kid; I may have had 'dirty' thoughts, but had no idea where to take them).

When I saw her - I inevitably wished we were in each other's lives.

I'll always remember her.

RIP iRobot.

It was an interesting idea.

Too bad it's now going to be fucked up by a terrible company.

Hmm ... doesn't this seem just a TAD suspicious?

Despite being 'vaccinated'  - the President of the United States gets COVID.

Despite getting treated - the President of the United States gets COVID.

Of course vaccines and treatments aren't perfect. But given that both the above was developed by the same corporation Pfizer, and -

Not being mentioned in the media is the financial bonanza the pandemic has been for the drug companies that managed to edge out their competitors in the burgeoning field of vaccine development. Pfizer recently reported its single largest quarterly sales in its history, bringing in $27.7 billion in revenues, of which $8.8 billion came from their COVID-19 vaccines and $8.1 billion from Paxlovid, beating Wall Street’s estimates.

 Seems like quite the conflict-of-interest. Seems also somewhat criminal.

From the 'I can't believe people are doing this shit' list.
