Salafis Throwing Bombs: How American and British Planners Partnered With Al-Qaeda Affiliated Groups At the Start of the Syrian Civil War
Introduction In the mainstream view, al-Qaeda did not play a role in the Syria conflict until Islamic State of Iraq (ISI) leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi dispatched his deputy, Abu Muhammad al-Jolani, to Syria in August 2011 to establish a wing of the group there, called Jabhat al-Nusra, or the Nusra Front. Additionally, al-Qaeda allegedly did not carry out any military operations until December 2011 and did not announce its establishment until January 2012. However, there is evidence that al-Qaeda affiliated militants were involved in the Syrian conflict much earlier. Saudi intelligence...
Is Virtue Signaling Vicious?
Virtue signaling—the practice of highlighting what one takes to be one’s own moral superiority, often by loudly denouncing the character and comportment, including the speech, of other people—has become a dominant mode of rhetoric throughout social media and network television. Virtue theory, in contrast, is a teleological approach to normative morality concerned with how actions affect one’s soul or character. Historians of philosophy usually trace virtue theory to Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics, the first extant articulation of ideas such as that habits build character, and virtues...
Cops Kill Man
Iraq War Vet Given the Abu Ghraib Treatment to Death "The two-hour-long tape shows what led up to the moment Edwards, a decorated veteran who served in Kosovo and Iraq, was strapped in a chair for 16 minutes, as he seemed to struggle to breathe, his chest heaving and his restrained body convulsing. Although the video has no sound, Edwards seemed to be either yelling, coughing or gasping under the sheer white hood deputies put over his head to keep him from spitting. Jail staff periodically glanced through the windows of his cell but did not enter as Edwards struggled. Nearby, deputies...
War On Cops!
Another poor little victim police officer faked the story of his "ambush." FTP: "Apparently, the deputy went so far as to hit himself in the head to fake the attack and was even hospitalized. Amazingly enough, it only took the department 24 hours to realize Dooley was...
Potent SARS-CoV-2 Antibodies Isolated From Patients With Severe Symptoms Show Promise
The main stream media devoted considerable ink to try and dispel the notion that herd immunity to the SARS-CoV-2 virus was not likely due to the nature of the immune response to the virus. They claim (mainly citing evidence from non-peer reviewed studies), that the immune response was short-lived and that as little as 10-15% of the population may be immune. However, research published in Nature paints a different picture of how our bodies immune system responds to the virus and how different levels of exposure and disease severity may illicit an immune response that produces potent...
NYT: Government Hospitals Will Kill You
Private ones will save your life. Jeez. I wonder if anyone has ever looked into why that might be, huh?
Fauci Admits Government Lied About Masks
Just as we accused, Fauci admits the government was trying to manage the shortage in masks that they themselves had caused by lying directly to the American people for months that they absolutely should not wear them. Of course the only reason the hospitals needed them so badly was because people kept giving it to each other because they weren't wearing masks. Certainly tens of thousands of Americans are dead because they and/or the people who infected them believed and obeyed these lies. Tens of thousands. It isn't smears, it's droplets that spreads the disease. The shortage could have...
Cops Kill Lady
Well see, the "criminal interdiction squad" was breaking into a woman named Breonna Taylor's house in the middle of the night to serve a search warrant -- looking for drugs -- that was connected to an arrest warrant for a man who had already been arrested 10 miles away. And they didn't announce themselves, just kicked in the door. So when the man of the house fired in defense of himself and his woman, they killed her. (There were no drugs.) (They fired at least 20 shots, some of which "entered" multiple adjacent apartments.) Jonathan Mattingly, Brett Hankison and Myles Cosgrove are guilty...
Man Denied Test, ER Admittance Drops Dead
