This is the result explicit, aggressive and longstanding propaganda by the State of Israel and its foreign agents like AIPAC.

They want there to be no conceptual space between the State of Israel, the Jewish religion, and the Jewish people around the world, so they can turn any criticism of Israel into antisemitism and therefore a hate crime.

Well they tried trashing him for providing tampons to women in need.

Then for being a retired military vet.

Then for making a joke about ladders.

So yeah, they're really running out of stuff it would seem.

We already have bad coffee and stale donuts down here.

Yeah that was the joke. 🙃

Edit: Also none have made it to orbit or even near orbit. They initially claimed that the third one made it to the non-circularized suborbit they had planned, but later analysis was that it did not actually reach the planned velocity:

Tictok is horrible but this entire ban is being driven by the swamp being upset that young people have come to the wrong conclusion about Israel. I think that the idea is that as long as people are using facebook or google-owned properties, people can be shown only information that will lead them to the correct, approved opinions.

I mean that's pretty standard for a McKinsey ghoul:

  • Step 1: go to an ivy league college, get a business degree
  • Step 2: work for McKinsey for a few years as an associate
  • Step 3: get a job at a McKinsey client leapfrogging everyone else into management/c-suite
  • Step 4: hire McKinsey to bring their arrogant children into your org and screw things up

Everything about her subsequent career has been going from one upper management/c-suite role in a tech company to another. This is not the resume of a person who should be running a nonprofit that controls the most important open source project on the internet. But beyond that just look at what she's done in her one month at Mozilla:

    1. Massive round of layoffs
    1. "Focus on {buzzword}" where {buzzword} in this case is AI

That's straight out of the McKinsey playbook.

Brand name stuff comes from the same factories. Pharmaceutical manufacturing has been completely outsourced mostly to avoid regulatory oversight.

The IDF will likely try to claim that they thought she was a sniper, but if that were true they wouldn't be standing around in the middle of the street before they shot.

And the fact that she was able to operate for years without issue

I used to watch ADVChina, which was a youtube series by an American and a South African who married Chinese women and decided to live in China with their families. For years they rode motorbikes around China, filming "day in the life" type content and occasionally saying something mildly critical.

Eventually the CCP decided they didn't like them and they had to flee the country. The way they told it they had to lie their way through the border to HK to get out because the government put an exit ban on them. Now they live in California post angry anti-CCP rants.

Point being, the fact that Wu or the ADVChina guys were able to operate in China for a little while isn't proof that the CCP tolerates independent media. It is proof that the CCP can be slow sometimes to shut down people who grow a foreign audience organically using information channels the CCP doesn't yet fully understand.

I went to Europe after Trump was elected and everyone was oozing smug.
