Sad, but true.

Not Just Bikes informed many about city planning.

Generated Summary:

Main Topic: The video explores the complex and controversial relationship between Zionism and Nazism, arguing that certain aspects of Zionist ideology and actions during the early to mid-20th century shared similarities with Nazi nationalist socialism, particularly concerning land acquisition, racial purity, and the treatment of non-Jewish populations. It also examines the response of Zionist leadership to the Holocaust.

Key Points:

• Zionism as Nationalist Socialism: The video argues that Zionism, particularly Labor Zionism, incorporated elements of nationalist socialism, prioritizing national goals (land acquisition and state building) over social equality. The kibbutzim are presented as a showcase of Zionist values that masked a more complex economic reality.
• Collaboration with Nazi Germany: The video highlights the controversial Haavara Agreement between Zionist leaders and Nazi Germany, which facilitated the emigration of German Jews to Palestine in exchange for their assets. This is presented as evidence of a pragmatic approach by some Zionist leaders that prioritized the establishment of a Jewish state over a complete boycott of Nazi Germany.
• Racial Purity and Land Acquisition: The video emphasizes the role of racial ideology in both Zionist and Nazi thought, citing statements by prominent Zionist figures that emphasized a racial connection to the land of Israel and the need for a Jewish majority. It draws parallels between Zionist land acquisition and Nazi expansionist policies in Eastern Europe.
• Response to the Holocaust: The video discusses the Zionist leadership’s response to the Holocaust, arguing that saving Jews was not their top priority and that the focus remained on establishing the state of Israel. Memos from the Jewish Agency’s rescue committee are cited to support this claim.
• Modern Parallels and Allegations of Genocide: The video concludes by drawing parallels between historical Zionist actions and the current Israeli-Palestinian conflict, citing accusations of genocide in Gaza and arguing that the dehumanization of Palestinians mirrors the dehumanization that preceded the Holocaust.

Highlights:

• Extensive use of historical quotes and documents to support the video’s arguments.
• Examination of the writings and actions of key figures in both the Zionist and Nazi movements.
• Comparison of Zionist and Nazi policies regarding land acquisition, population transfer, and racial ideology.
• Discussion of the ethical implications of Zionist actions during the Holocaust and the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
• Controversial claims regarding the Zionist leadership’s prioritization of state-building over the rescue of Jews during the Holocaust are presented.

Advocacy group America’s Voice believes that U.S. rural and agricultural regions will likely be the hardest hit by Trump’s immigration policies, which threaten mass detention and deportation of millions.

Border Patrol agents in unmarked vehicles have allegedly been carrying out racially profiled raids in California’s agricultural center after stalking immigrants outside stores, CalMatters reports.

Estimates suggest that between 400,000-800,000 people are farmworkers in California, which is responsible for about 13% percent of the country’s agricultural production value that is worth more than $25 billion, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The USDA estimated that between 2020-2022 about 32% of crop farmworkers were U.S. born, 7% were immigrants who had obtained citizenship, 19% were authorized immigrants, mostly permanent residents or green-card holders and the remaining 42% were unauthorized to work. The majority of these workers have Latino backgrounds.

The AV report noted how anti-immigrant crackdowns in the past decade have led to devastating impacts for farms, such as crop rot, across several states, including Alabama, Florida and Georgia.

"The unmarked cars, the racial profiling, abusive harassment, and wide dragnets are likely just the tip of the spear of the incoming administration and the signs are unmistakable: there are ‘enemy invaders’ within threatening everything ‘real Americans’ hold dear, and the federal government will be interested in critical oversight in how local officials deal with the ‘enemy.’

It warns, "The tone and culture they set will be just as important as the policies they begin to implement. As individual law enforcement and vigilantes feel empowered to take drastic action with little concern for consequences or oversight, our situation could get out of hand quickly and mass family separations will likely begin again. And, as we saw, the impacts will be felt by families, communities, businesses – and, frankly, all of us.

True, thanks for clarifying!

Yes, this is just another policy that hinders the working class, the duopoly does like their police state.

Anyone have any thoughts on APKPure as an alternative?

Another fantastic demonstration of how a ballistic helmet’s primary function is NOT protection from rifle/pistol rounds but rather a secondary function. They are primarily designed to protect from shrapnel and blunt force trauma.

Wow, awesome!

If interested, you should look into the billionaires that own a good amount of California water, and the politicians that help them.

YOU CAN’T CUT BACK ON FUNDING! YOU WILL REGRET THIS! is a catchphrase originating from the video game Sim City 2000, where it is shouted towards the player (the mayor) by the transportation advisor if he attempts to cut transit funding.

While it isn’t the character’s name, he is sometimes referred to as “Norm” due to his similar appearance to Norm Abram of This Old House.[9]^[1]

This Old House, The New Yankee Workshop, and Ask This Old House are great shows to learn DIY skills!

For those interested in Norm:

On May 19, 2022, it was announced that after 43 years, Abram would retire from the show. A one hour special titled The House that Norm Built aired online and on PBS stations on October 3, 2022, surveying his career with the program.[11][12]

In 1988, Morash planned to launch a spinoff of This Old House called The New Yankee Workshop, featuring Abram. They needed a convenient place to videotape, and used the shop in the small building that Abram built in 1979 in Morash’s backyard.[10] The shop’s layout and equipment were expanded and adapted to match Abram’s preferences, in a space measuring 36 by 26 feet (11.0 by 7.9 m).[13][14] The New Yankee Workshop was first aired in 1989 with Abram as the host.[4] The program showcased furniture or other projects and emphasized classic, elegant designs, made using a combination of simple handtools and newer power tools and equipment.[4] The show aired for 21 seasons on PBS, then was suspended indefinitely as Abram decided to focus on other projects.[10][15][16]

He has also contributed to efforts to train younger students in the building trades, such as the Generation NEXT apprenticeship program.[10]

More recently, he bought a new old house in Rhode Island near the coast, where he plans to build a new woodworking shop, and he is also interested in learning shipbuilding.[16][23]^[2]

Edit: fixed last quote, and fixed second citation format

“I do apologize for any strife or trauma, but it had to be done,” the Ivy League graduate reportedly wrote in a manifesto admitting to killing UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson. “These parasites had it coming.”

Luigi Mangione—the 26-year-old man arrested in Pennsylvania Monday on gun charges and suspected of last week’s assassination of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson—was carrying a manifesto condemning insurance industry greed, police said after his apprehension.

New York Police Department (NYPD) Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said Mangione was in possession of a 9mm handgun—possibly a ghost gun made with numerous parts or a 3D printer—the type used to kill Thompson, as well as a silencer and what he described as an anti-corporate manifesto.

Three bullet casings were inscribed with the words “deny,” “defend,” and “depose”—a phrase commonly used by critics to describe insurance industry tactics to avoid paying patient claims. UnitedHealth, the nation’s biggest private insurer, is notorious for denying more claims than any other insurance company.

Mangione’s social media posts run the gamut from praising the opinions of right-wing figures like Elon Musk and Tucker Carlson to leaving positive reviews on Goodreads for books including Dr. Seuss’ cautionary environmental tale The Lorax and the manifesto of Theodore Kaczynski—better known as the Unabomber.

“He had the balls to recognize that peaceful protest has gotten us absolutely nowhere and at the end of the day, he’s probably right,” Mangione controversially opined of Kaczynski, whom he called “an extreme political revolutionary.”

“When all other forms of communication fail, violence is necessary to survive,” he asserted.

“The FBI is aware of the offensive and racist text messages sent to individuals around the country and is in contact with the Justice Department and other federal authorities on the matter,” the FBI said on Thursday.

FBI Link: https://www.fbi.gov/news/press-releases/fbi-statement-on-offensive-and-racist-text-messages

Brian Hughes, of the Trump campaign, told NBC that they would take legal action “if we can find the origin of these messages which promote this kind of ugliness in our name.

“President Trump built a diverse and broad coalition of support, with voters of all races and backgrounds,” he said in a statement to NBC. “The result was a landslide victory for his commonsense mandate for change. This will result in a second term that is beneficial to every working man and woman in our nation.”

Multiple U.S. broadband providers, including Verizon, AT&T, and Lumen Technologies, have been breached by a Chinese hacking group tracked as Salt Typhoon, the Wall Street Journal reports.

It is unclear when the intrusion occurred, but WSJ cites people familiar with the matter, saying that “for months or longer, the hackers might have held access to network infrastructure used to cooperate with lawful U.S. requests for communications data.”

According to the WSJ, the attack was discovered in recent weeks and is being investigated by the U.S. government and security experts in the private sector.

Salt Typhoon has been active since at least 2019 and is considered a sophisticated hacking group focusing on government entities and telecommunications companies typically in the Southeast Asia region.

Security researchers also found that the threat actor attacked hotels, engineering companies, and law firms in Brazil, Burkina Faso, South Africa, Canada, Israel, France, Guatemala, Lithuania, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Thailand, and the United Kingdom.

The hackers usually obtain initial access to the target network by exploiting vulnerabilities, such as the ProxyLogon vulnerabilities in Microsoft Exchange Server (CVE-2021-26855, CVE-2021-26857, CVE-2021-26858, and CVE-2021-27065).

In previous attacks attributed to Salt Typhoon/Ghost Emperor, the threat actor used a custom backdoor called SparrowDoor, customized versions of the Mimikatz tool for extracting authentication data, and a Windows kernel-mode rootkit Demodex.

Chinese APT hacking groups have been increasingly targeting U.S. and European networking devices and ISPs in cyberespionage attacks.

In August, cybersecurity researchers at Lumen’s Black Lotus Labs disclosed that the Chinese threat actors known as “Volt Typhoon” exploited a zero-day flaw in Versa Director to steal credentials and breach corporate networks. During these attacks, the threat actors breached multiple ISPs and MSPs in the U.S. and India, which is not believed to be related to the recent breaches.

In September, Black Lotus Labs and law enforcement disrupted a massive Chinese botnet named “Raptor Train” that compromised over 260,000 SOHO routers, IP cameras with malware. This botnet was used by the “Flax Typhoon” threat actors for DDoS attacks and as a proxy to launch stealthy attacks on other organizations.

While these attacks have been attributed to different Chinese hacking groups, they are believed to operate under the same umbrella, commonly sharing infrastructure and tools.

Well, the government forced the rail road unions to agree to the watered-down negotiations instead of their original demands due to the laws passed. 

Instead of siding with the working class and forcing corporations to meet the Uninos demands, they help the corporations and once again betray the working class. 

I agree though; in this case, they did nothing to help make it worse or better for the unions, but alleged pressure was added as always.

Again, Harris is not doing as well as before, Muslim support for Dr. Jill Stein and other groups is at an all-time high, and the support Trump is receiving from the working class is increasing, so intervening in a strike would lessen support of the Democrats even more than it already is at. 

I don’t think we will agree on this, due to my views on the intentional systematic problems our society has:

The duopoly likes to play political theater; both act like they are for the working class, but in reality, policy helps the owner-class much more, while crumbs are offered to the working class to keep us quiet. 

The settlement pushes the strike and any potential shortages past the November presidential election, eliminating a potential liability for Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee. It’s also a big plus for the Biden-Harris administration, which has billed itself as the most union-friendly in American history. Shortages could have driven up prices and reignited inflation.

Thursday’s deal came after administration officials met with foreign-owned shipping companies before dawn on Zoom, according to a person briefed on the day’s events who asked not to be identified because the talks were private. The White House wanted to increase pressure to settle, emphasizing the responsibility to reopen the ports to help with recovery from Hurricane Helene, the person said.^[1]

I disagree; I remember the rail road strikes, and I think the reason why they caved is due to being an election year; crushing another strike would end their projections for 2024.

They interfered previously, so no need to take politicians at their word when we know that they lie all the time, Democrats or Republicans.

All is well; some do not like to read, and that is okay. 

paragraphs and paragraphs of text

They are quotes from an article updating us on the strike, which you mentioned… Thank you for mentioning their was an update!

It did, if you look at how they reacted to the railroad strike.

Good news at the end of the day!

Good that the backlash (due to breaking the railroad strike and being an election year) and viral news of the strike helped the government cave and allowed the working class unions to fight for their demands!

I don’t trust any governments or politicians; we must always be critical of those with power and influence. 

Biden was forced to cave to their demands due to the backlash on breaking the railroad strike and this being an election year.

The working class must continue to unite against the owner class; a general strike would help force the government and the corporations to listen to working class struggles instead of the same old crumbs we reicve from the duopoly; many grassroots movements have arisen for this occasion!

“Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.” ― Frederick Douglass

Dockworkers strike suspended, tentative agreement includes 62% pay raise over 6 years [Max Zahn, Meredith Deliso, and Soo Youn | October 3, 2024 | abcnews.go.com] https://abcnews.go.com/US/dockworkers-strike-suspended-sources/story?id=114445386

The tentative agreement would increase workers’ wages by 62% over the life of the 6-year contract, sources familiar confirm to ABC News.

This represents a significant increase from the shipping industry group’s offer of a 50% wage increase earlier this week. The union had been pushing for a 77% pay hike over six years.

The tentative agreement would bring the hourly wage for a top dockworker to $63 per hour at the end of the new contract, up from $39 per hour under the expired contract.

“I want to applaud the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) and the United States Maritime Alliance for coming together to reopen the East Coast and Gulf ports. Today’s tentative agreement on a record wage and an extension of the collective bargaining process represents critical progress towards a strong contract,” Preisdent Joe Biden said on the agreement.

Tens of thousands of U.S. dockworkers had walked off the job early Tuesday morning, clogging dozens of ports along the East and Gulf coasts.

Amid the strike, USMX said Wednesday it remained “committed to bargaining in good faith to address the ILA’s demands and USMX’s concerns.”

A prolonged work stoppage of several weeks or months could have rekindled inflation for some goods and triggered layoffs at manufacturers as raw materials dried up, experts said.

In 2002, a strike among workers at West Coast ports lasted 11 days before then-President George W. Bush invoked the Taft-Hartley Act and ended the standoff.
