The burden of proof is on the claimant, and dollars to donuts they have nothing to back up their vibes-based assertion.

Great now I gotta do an image search for IDF tattoos.

Welcome.

PieFed is a funny thing. Lemmy was created by communist developers, and PieFed was created as Lemmy clone by an anti-“tankie” developer. A handful of scratched liberals in the fediverse have made deplatforming communists their life’s work.

The Banque de France sold 129 tonnes of gold between July 2025 and January 2026, about 5 percent of its total reserves, which had been held in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Rather than refining and transporting the old stock, the bank purchased an equivalent amount of new, compliant gold in Europe, which now sits in Paris alongside the rest of France’s reserves.

The overall size of France’s gold reserve, around 2,437 tons, remains the same.

The upgrade involved replacing older, non-standard gold bars with modern ones that meet international rules for weight, purity, and certification, making them easier to trade globally.

So the gold—if it exists at all—wasn’t moved, but instead the Federal Reserve printed an equivalent amount of USD which France then spent on actually-existing gold in Europe?

Many romantic/sexual relationships were once platonic, and in each case a change in quantity led to a change in quality.

I’m not familiar with it. https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Wikispooks:Site_Rationale

Party politics has evolved into an effective way of motivating passionate, distracting activity and dispute among citizens over trivia, while obscuring the reality that a large proportion of “leaders” of public organisations are in fact mere puppets, in thrall to hidden organisations with secret agendas - organs of what Peter Dale Scott has referred to as a supranational deep state. Wikispooks seeks to follow the strings of these puppet leaders and find out who is pulling them and why …

They draw on the likes of Peter Dale Scott, Ola Tunander, Lance deHaven-Smith, and Aaron Good. They seem not to have great class analysis or imperialist analysis. I expect they’ll get some things right while having blind spots in other areas. For instance this entry is all over the place: https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Tiananmen, and this one is more skeptical of the Western narrative than Wikipedia https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Holodomor

I don’t know his track record as a retired Lt. Gen. spokesgoon. Perhaps he’s pontificating while out of the loop?

Well now we’re in the deepest doodoo since WWII.

I think this article was LLM-generated and then LLM-translated. “Stuck neck” had to have been a bad translation when “bottleneck” exists in everyday English.

Crowdfunding an assassination sounds like a good grift.

ICE is only the half of it.

I try to link it back lest people think the Epstein affair (or Trump) was/is an exception rather than the rule.

Previously:

Everyone involved should get investigated and tried for any and all crimes.

Indeed they should, but they won’t, because they’re above the law. They shouldn’t be above the law, but they objectively are. What you’re seeing isn’t some rare exception, it’s a peek behind the curtain of how the United States is actually run, and it’s nothing like how it’s supposed to work on paper.

Previously:

This is what’s so great about Trump: instead of quietly putting coercive pressure on media outlets from behind the scenes, like any normal Republican or Democrat, he shouts it on Trump Social. He doesn’t care that he’s not supposed to show us how the sausage is made.
