Well doubtless they hope the work makes some of them strong slaves because they were just faking it to be lazy because that's a real thing that definitely happens. And those it breaks and leaves disabled beyond the point of doing anything like this they leave to die in the gutter, having extracted some value from them for capital in the process and disposed of them successfully. But while they're dying they'll be desperately fighting existing workers for jobs thus allowing worsening conditions, crackdowns on unions, pay kept lower, etc.

I've read several times now from several thinkers the notion that the Samson option is not just firing nukes at Europe and Arab neighbors plus Iran but actually because of the zionist dominance and intertwining with high tech that they have hidden code, bombs to activate on command which will cause the collapse of modern infrastructure. They'll take down power systems, medical devices will stop functioning or malfunction, mapping will fail, just all kinds of chaos from them using their positions intertwined with Microsoft, Google, and a ton of other tech companies with zionist intelligence officers that they will bring down the modern world if the west allows them to fall.

This would be powerful incentive for the western leaders to not move away from the zionists. To do so would require acknowledging this penetration and weakness on a scale far larger than anything they've even accused China of and a decade of work methodically searching for and removing it after kicking all the zionist intelligence collaborators (really any zionist occupation company) out of these positions and praying doing so and obviously searching for and trying to disarm this doesn't make them set it off.

The CIA near the height of the cold war was able through front companies to buy USSR titanium for their weapons programs such as the B2 and other high performance planes without the USSR detecting this.

Frankly if you're China and you don't control global monetary flows, don't have ins at every bank, every shipping company, every logistic company, don't have a global illegal wiretap network and do have a policy of openness and trade wherever possible there is just no way for them to totally stop this.

I mean the west hasn't been able to completely stop Russian imports of western products through intermediaries and they really want to and have a lot more visibility throughout the supply chain than China.

In the electronics space Macbooks tend to be pretty durable. The downsides are anything recent which is worth buying (M1-4 chips) has soldered on storage, ram, etc so they're not really user upgradeable and there's also the issue of needing an adapter for anything USB-A. I wouldn't buy new for value unless it's on clearance as an old model. But after at most a battery replacement they tend to be pretty solid machines even used as long as they weren't badly mistreated. Older Thinkpads (not E-series, mainly T and P) also tend to be pretty durable and you can buy them cheap used on ebay and are a lot more serviceable than Macbooks. Screens are not as great though, not the clearest or sharpest things but usable if you're not doing graphics work or using it as a high end, high quality media player. Macbooks win on the nice screen front hands down.

Reminder that DuckDuckGo is far from perfect. They censor and derank or hide Russian news sources since the SMO started as "disinformation" and have admitted as much. They likely censor and derank other anti-empire outlets and sources as well without admitting it. I actually think they may be worse than Google in this particular regard as they did it as a libbed up "ethics" stand as part of the whole Russia-gate nonsense.

Not to say continue using Google but I'd be wary of using DDG for anything anti-empire or politically contentious.

Sadly not practical most likely. They'd need to physically burrow into the FBI's basement and they have tremor sensors that would detect tunneling anywhere near there. Not like they're going to scan all this stuff and put it on the most hackable portion of pentagon dot mil or something. Those boxes have disappeared into a deep hole of the deep state bureaucracy. I'd guess just the threat of release will keep all the blackmailed pedos in-line so having quick access isn't even seen as a need.

He probably crapped that out on a pirated copy of photoshop CS3 and gave himself a pat on the back.

He definitely just used AI. He told Grok to make him some super cool flag logos and picked out the one he liked best.

Because they would prefer to avoid a direct war. They'd prefer a Syria/Libya type situation of engineered moderate rebels and selective strikes to maximize chaos and breakdown. They already have Azerbaijan totally in the zionist/NATO pockets hosting their planes and harassing Russia just across the border which they can use to aid with arming these. They hope to inspire ethnic tensions to create an actual fall of Iran that's durable and removes it as any kind of a power player for decades.

I can hear this in his voice and it's hilarious.

True but also I think in a war with China those won't matter as much as some combination of drone production, missile production capacities, ability to get those through the enemy defenses (counter-jamming, electronic warfare, tactics, etc) AND/OR your ability to take down drones and missiles effectively and not too expensively (resource-wise not cost-wise). The US isn't going to fight a ground war against China in a conventional sense. It's going to be on the high seas, a world war probably across many island chains with naval logistic and control of the seas and air more important. But who knows.

So drones + fighters + other air assets + missiles + naval assets and the ability to leverage them, use electronic warfare, dirty tricks, secret weapons, combined arms, etc to overcome the enemy and strike deep and hard or maintain superiority.

You're not missing a ton. I reposted the important stuff. RT tends to be pro-zionist in the way they voice/write these articles so it's not like they have super great coverage. Though credit where it's due they do platform in their opinion sections anti-zionist voices at times.

BBC bans ‘high-risk’ broadcasts after Bob Vylan - Russia Today

Article Text

The BBC has announced that it will no longer broadcast or livestream performances deemed ‘high risk’. The British public broadcaster faced backlash after airing a set by punk-rap duo Bob Vylan at the Glastonbury Festival, during which the group chanted against the Israeli military.

The group’s lead vocalist encouraged the crowd to chant “Death, death to the IDF” and “From the river to the sea, Palestine must be, will be, inshallah, it will be free” during the performance last weekend. Videos circulating on social media show the crowd echoing the chants, with some waving Palestinian flags.

“We deeply regret that such offensive and deplorable behaviour appeared on the BBC and want to apologise to our viewers, listeners, and in particular the Jewish community,” the broadcaster said in a statement released on Thursday.

The BBC noted that the band was classified as ‘high risk’ ahead of the festival, along with six other acts, but was still permitted to perform with “appropriate mitigations.” The company admitted to “errors” in the compliance processes and confirmed that Bob Vylan’s set has been permanently removed from BBC iPlayer and BBC Sounds.

The outlet pledged to provide on-site editorial policy support at major music festivals and events moving forward. It also announced plans to issue clearer guidance on the criteria for withdrawing a livestream.
