why does Elon think the hearing yesterday was hard on the witnesses or the left.  To me, it was a flop, embarrassing and a bit of an own goal because they couldn’t prove their point and in the end, Trump looked like the issue and not the left.  Weird take by Elon.

Musk comparing our current times to Deus Ex.

Seymour Hersh with a story showing direct US involvement in Nordstream 2 attack. The WH has come out and said that this story is utterly false, so QED 🤣

Yeah been reading about it, Hersh seems to be getting a lot of push back about it… so who knows. Some common themes  in this Twitter thread talking about it and Hersh…

Like Glenn Greenwald, Hersh seems to be a once good journalist who went off the deep end a long time ago. His latest Nordstream piece includes the line:

"Today, the supreme commander of NATO is Jens Stoltenberg, a committed anti-communist, who served as Norway’s prime minister for eight years before moving to his high NATO post, with American backing, in 2014. He was a hardliner on all things Putin and Russia who had cooperated with the American intelligence community since the Vietnam War"

Stoltenberg was 16 when the Vietnam War ended and chucked stones at the US Embassy in Oslo in a protest over the war.

Given the slant of Hersh's recent work (it wasn't Al-Assad who used chemical weapons on his own people in Syria, Skripal poisoning wasn't Russian state etc), i sort of assume he's paid in Rubles now (same for Greenwald).

It's a shame because Hersh's work around the Iraq war invasion was very much needed and of high quality. Now, as you say, he seems to be either bonkers or getting paid in rubles.

Facebook and Instagram re-instate former president Donald Trump. 

Any members if such platforms are very entitled to whatever direction this goes.

 

Meanwhile rep from Minnesotaaaaa has been assaulted in her office in D.C. They clearly need a bigger fence as the security service is clearly a little lacking.
