Ok so they clearly don't actually care and let it continue through the entire first Trump administration, and are doing this to punish the resistance in Minnesota.
You are posting as though these sorts of rules and formalisms still matter when they clearly do not.
I feel like the headline "suspends federal financial awards" doesn't really convey that this is intended to end SNAP benefits and leave many people without food.
We can't keep doing this.
Theory I saw on Twitter is that Russia's recent Oresnik strike was undetected, meaning they may have first strike capability.

Although I am open to the underlying thesis of this website I want to urge some epistemic skepticism. Many people who have been looking into this subject for years are saying they didn't know some of this material even existed. Maybe it didn't.

Ok but then why was Nikita Bier saying they were going to do this?

From right-wing race baiter Tommy Robinson: "the real flag of Iran, the Lion and Sun" lol dream on you hack propagandists
X is a tool of Western intelligence. The level of algo boosting for "the people of Iran are about to free themselves!" videos has been off the charts. JK Rowling and John Cleese are flogging it.
It's classic MindWar tactics of the sort that were pioneered by Michael Aquino. Convince the enemy they've lost before the war even starts.
Israel
is a reign of terror, and has already inflicted economic crisis and widespread suffering (not to mention a completely unprovoked sneak attack) on Iran in an attempt to weaken its government and replace it with one more to their liking (i.e. an oligarchic kleptocracy like their allies UAE, Saudi Arabia, etc). They have absolutely no desire to see a functioning state anywhere in the region that could challenge the IDF. Syria and Libya are the blueprints for what they have in store for Iran.
This "criticism/suspicion of Israel is just hatred of Jews" thing doesn't work on anyone except the sort of person willing to continue supporting Israel after it carried out a genocide in Gaza. So you may as well save the keystrokes.
It feels like ever since Snowden we've been watching and mapping and uncovering, and none of it has accomplished anything and it has only gotten worse. Why would I even care at this point what the exact topology looks like? It's much more straightforward just to operate from the assumption that absolutely everything I do on an electronic device (and much of my biometric activity within close proximity of those devices) is transparent, visible, catalogued, and archived.
We don't need more maps to this stuff. We need to seize the hard drives, gather any evidence of venal or traitorous motives on the part of the executives and decision-makers who built the systems, and take sledgehammers to the drives and servers and hard drives and recording devices and Flock cameras and all the rest.
In reply to your after-the-fact edit: Hasbara is specifically an Israeli/Zionist phenomenon, not a Jewish one.
Hasbara is a Hebrew word commonly used to refer to Israeli propaganda, which you are spreading whether you know it or not, and I don't give one whit about your armchair psychologizing.
lmao no one believes this hasbara anymore
But what occupiers are you referring to in the context of Iran?
My original post up there has 8 upvotes at this point so no, no I don't think I will.
"America is bad" (in reference to the foreign policy pursued by its psychopathic ruling class) is generally a useful heuristic at this point, yes. But what "occupiers" are you even talking about?
The last thing Israel intends to bring to Iran is "human rights."
Well it only took 4 hours but there's the flag.
Why am I supposed to root against Iran when the United States used
peace negotiations as a ruse to assassinate their scientists and then help Israel launch an unprovoked sneak attack?
The "terror in the Middle East" you're referring to, is that just them helping Palestinians to resist the relentless Israeli onslaught? Helping Afghans and Iraqis to expel American occupiers?
Libya and Syria are lawless hellscapes forged by the United States and Israel. Their allied Arab satraps in the region use slave labor to construct luxury towers and playplaces for the uber rich. Where does that figure in your formulation?
Okay fine:
Do I have evidence of a high level criminal conspiracy to which I have access to none of the tools or methods that could possibly obtain evidence, evidence that if it did exist would surely put my own life in danger?
No, no I do not.
Unfortunately many of these people revel in hypocrisy, and believe it makes them superior that they are willing to use it when others aren't. Nevertheless always worth pointing out!
Thank you for having the courage to post this. It's a relief to see that others understand we're not going to make it out of this by remaining silent.
Yeah I'm sure that grand jury was on the up-and-up. And it wasn't just one organizer who was assassinated.
