Can not Clint and the rest of the goonies be charged with felony criminal fraud, identity theft, libel, slander, and then sued civilly for same? Not just by the politicians unfairly smeared by this fraud pump, but by the real Twitter users whose handles and identities were stolen? Every prosecutor in every state should start filing criminal charges on behalf of their constituents.
Also, they weren't media "fabulists." That's too lofty a term. They were extortionists, fraud merchants, and gangsters no better than cartel leaders. Prosecute them and sue them out of existence.
Not what you said. Did you forget already? I am an asshole that's true. But I don't want a war on Russia. That's why you accused me, and, no doubt, reported me to the FBI.
When do you leave to fight Russia, the way you want other people to do?
Since we agree we can both be assholes, I will address this issue with no more name-calling:
1. I don't drop dimes on anyone to the FBI. I address people directly, as I did you.
2. I don't "want" a war on Russia---I prefer peace to conflict. Nobody except arms merchants and politicians like war. But some wars must be fought, and the invasion and conquest of sovereign Ukraine by Putin is one of them.
3. Why? Self-interest and self-preservation. The world needs to enforce the global ban on building empires by invasion and conquest. If the West lets Putin walk into Ukraine and take it without consequence, then Europe becomes ripe to revert to the pre-WWII model of nation-building: Invade, Conquer, Massacre, Rinse, Repeat. That affects Americans and the rest of the planet, not just Europeans. It's therefore in the West's interests to help Ukraine push Russian invaders back to their side of the border. I wouldn't support Ukraine taking any Russian land, but completely support Ukraine reclaiming its own stolen land.
4. At the beginning of the invasion, I formally volunteered for the Ukrainian Foreign Legion. I was ready to go. They rejected me because I am over 60. I understand that, because Olds on a battlefield can be more hindrance than help. But I was willing to walk the walk, and at least I have a fun email from Ukraine saying they were sorry but, Nah. Or Nyet.
5. This whole thing began when you said Ukraine was always part of Russia so why is this circumstance any different? Simple: when Russian leader Boris Yeltsin granted Ukraine full independence and signed a treaty to that effect--and Ukraine agreed to give up its nuclear shield in return--Ukraine was legally and morally no longer part of Russia.
6. Further, Ukraine gave up all nuclear weapons on the condition that the United States would defend it from outside aggression. We are obliged to do so.
7. Is the United States an empire that wants global hegemony? Does the CIA assassinate and destabliize governments so Corporate America makes more money? Of course. That's what empires do. But that's an issue separate from whether we and the rest of the West should thwart Putin's invasion and conquest of a sovereign neighbor.
8. If Ukraine and Russia can end this matter by agreeing to move the eastern border of Ukraine far enough west to include the Russian-centric provinces and then tell residents to choose a nation once and for all, fine by me. My support for this war is Putin's unilateral decision to invade and conquer a sovereign neighbor. If they agree to a border change, good on them, it has nothing to do with me.
FINALLY: I would be happy to quote you verbatim on Russia and Ukraine, but the original discussion between us seems to have disappeared from Matt's archives. I searched every January post with no luck.
"7. Is the United States an empire that wants global hegemony? Does the CIA assassinate and destabliize governments so Corporate America makes more money? Of course. That's what empires do.

We have the makings of a civil war in our own country. We have no business policing the rest of the world. There are too many examples of our efforts at nation building coming to a dismal end.
Today, there is strong evidence of our own unaccountable secret agencies engaging in nation building right here at home. They are practicing exactly the same tactics of media manipulation they have been using overseas for decades. The result will be the same, because culture is a natural evolutionary process and cannot be forced or manipulated without disastrous results. Unfortunately, many of our own citizens are suffering, and many more will suffer, until this beast is brought back under control.
Today, as part of the military-industrial complex, we have scientists able to create viruses capable of destroying every mammal on the planet. Once perfected, gain of function could also create viruses which are specific to genotype.
Submitted for your review is a fresh article about the recent "leak" of a Pharmaceutical executive bragging about plans to create viruses in a lab.
Before getting carried away by this big news item, be aware that pharmaceutical companies have already been doing gain of function work for at least 10 years. I propose that this "leak" may be an effort to convince the public that gain-of-function work is something brand new, and that the Covid Virus broke out prior to any such work being conducted. Clearly that is not the case, and this new "leak" to Veritas is, in my humble opinion, an act of deception, designed to obscure the responsibility of pharmaceutical companies for the escape of Covid from one of their labs.
I largely agree with you, GG. Our track record of "rightsizing" other cultures is miserable and we should abandon that kind of interference immediately. Societies grow only when societies are ready, everyone should butt out of everyone else's business. I agree that gain of function research is a ghastly mistake that will eventually kill every person on the planet---and should end immediately. We do have at least some business policing the rest of the planet, because our culture depends on global free trade, and that requires open shipping lanes and markets. I agree that the CIA and other secret agencies must end domestic manipulation.
But all that has nothing to do with Russia and Ukraine and my belief that this is one of the rare Just Wars we've had since WWII. Allowing Russia to freely take Ukraine and turn it back into Russia means that the medieval way of building nations---invade, conquer, kill, feast, rename, repeat--will return. That cannot be allowed to happen, for our own sake as well as everybody else's.
My comment on Ukraine is probably not mainstream at all.
I hear that in Eastern Ukraine the folks would prefer to be a part of Russia, but the rest of Ukraine does not want to give up an inch of ground. It is likely due to some resource they want to tax in the Eastern region. That is always the primary reason for border skirmishes.
I don't see this as any kind of global crisis at all, but it is being blown up by our presence in the matter. We need to back off and attend to our own serious business.
As for the history of invasion and conquest (which you present as a negative thing) this is actually the way of nature. When we attempt to defeat nature, we always lose. Natural selection has brought us from being tree dwellers to the most advanced civilization the world has ever known. This did not happen by coddling the weak, it was accomplished by conquering them. The strong survive and the weak perish, and if we try to turn that around, then the weak shall survive and evolution will become devolution.
Apply the following natural law to the Ukraine People.
If you own property, you should remain strong enough to defend it (financially and/or physically). If you don't, then it will be taken from you by someone stronger. That is how nature works from the smallest microorganism to the largest of the beasts, including ourselves. You can deny being a part of nature, but in the end she will show you who is the stronger.
Never mind the blown up pipeline that forced Europe to buy our LNG. Never mind the corruption of Ukrainian government . Never mind those Nazis. This is just. This time is different. We’re finally going to be heroes. Not like every other fucking time where we created our next enemy. And armed that enemy
Furthermore, we could destroy Russia economically by simply producing more oil and selling it to Europe. Same way we defeated the Soviet Union. This would also help to reduce our trade imbalance. Instead we are limiting production and letting other countries capture the market.
The military industrial complex has a firm grip on us. Democrats are now their biggest allies.
When nuclear weapons were being tested in the atmosphere, scientists gathered and forced a global treaty to end atmospheric testing of Nuclear weapons. They did not ask for any global tax, nor did they attempt to pierce the sovereignty of any nation.
This issue became politicized when Trump called Covid the China Virus, and immediately democrats reacted with a knee jerk denial of any possibility that the virus originated in a lab. Even if you believe Trump is an idiot, a blind squirrel can easily find this nut, and he did. It does not immediately become false simply because Trump said it, but Democrats seem to repel anything associated with him true or not. In that sense alone, I guess you can blame Trump for politicizing covid if your game is blame.
This issue is one that historically would have had the full fury of Democrats behind it. Multinational corporations making huge profits on an environmental disaster that in all likely originated in one of their own labs. I'm not sure what has happened to my old Democrat party. It has become the establishment and supporter of the military-industrial complex.
It's like an oil company bragging about the wonderful cleanup job they did on my land, when they are the ones who spilled the oil. And then they have the audacity to send me the bill for very shoddy cleanup ("free" vaccines that are ineffective and paid for by, guess who, you and I). How can Democrats ignore this?
I’m sorry maybe a locket with a photo of Stephan Bandera would be more subtle. Take your Military industrial complex propaganda bravado and pound it up your ass, sparky
How about I cut a swastika from a tin can and stick it up your ass? It might poke out your eyeball, but hey, that's the risk you take for telling a Jew to wear a swastika.
Fuck you again for "military industrial complex propaganda bravado." I said that "some wars needs to be fought." That doesn't mean I want wars; I prefer not to have them at all, and that the CEOs of the MIC find other ways to make a living. It means that some wars need to be fought because they are the lesser of the competing evils. WWII was one such war. Ukraine repelling Russia is another.
Unless you believe Russia has every right to invade and conquer a sovereign neighbor?
You don’t have to wear a swastika. But definitely don’t wear a Star of David if you sign up for the war that you support unconditionally. We find wars and horrible assholes to support all over the world. We’re horrible at it. For 20 years we supported child molester war lords against misogynist religious fanatics in Afghanistan. After 2 trillion dollars the government we propped up collapsed before we could leave. We fucked up syria, Libya, Iraq, Yemen and pretty much everywhere else we’ve been. Now we’re 100billion in debt supporting Nazis fighting a country that now knows the peace talks were a stall tactic to arm Ukraines military. But even if this were righteous, we can’t afford it and we suck at this. If the country is 30 trillion in debt and we’re into these corrupt nazi pricks for $100billion that’s money we borrowed from the next boogeyman-China.
Careful with your popcan swastika. That might not go so shit hot for ya
Your accusations are not based on any facts or evidence, and are therefore not valid. It is important to always consider multiple perspectives and approach discussions with an open mind, rather than jumping to conclusions based on personal biases or assumptions.
"It is important to always consider multiple perspectives and approach discussions with an open mind, rather than jumping to conclusions based on personal biases or assumptions."

I logged in early this AM to do some research but right now it is over capacity and not working.
I have been waiting for an AI my whole life. I am utterly fascinated by this, this, 'entity'.
Just read something today that claims MS is laying off people and investing billions in AI.
Already it can design a website, write code... you know the list.
Profs are mad their students are using it to write papers, blissfully unaware that AI's will literally replace them, that, and that few will be writing papers in "teh future" as "that's what AIs are for".

Losing weight can be challenging, but setting small, achievable goals and making healthy lifestyle changes can help. Consult with a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian for personalized advice and support. Remember to be kind to yourself and focus on progress, not perfection.
*This thing might not be sentient, but it's already 'smarter' than the people name calling me for presenting the "Soviet" POV.
"What should I say to someone who is calling me a russianbot on Substack" - me
ChatGPT: It depends on the context and the person making the accusation. Here are a few options:
Address the accusation directly and calmly, providing evidence to support your argument that you are not a Russian bot.
If the person making the accusation is not willing to engage in a productive conversation, it may be best to ignore or block them.
If the accusation is based on the fact that you are defending Russia, you could explain why you have a different perspective on Russia and its actions. It is important to have open and respectful dialogue even with those who disagree with us.
If the accusation is made in a public forum, it might be useful to remind people that labeling someone as a "Russian bot" or a "Russian agent" is a serious accusation and should not be thrown around casually. It is important to be vigilant against misinformation and disinformation, but it is also important to be accurate and fair."
Please write a rebuttal that I can use for someone claiming that I am a Russian sympathizer - Me
It is unfair and unfounded to label someone as a "Russian sympathizer" simply for expressing dissenting views or seeking to understand multiple perspectives on a topic. Everyone has a right to their own opinions and should be able to express them without fear of baseless accusations. Furthermore, it is important to recognize that one can criticize or disagree with certain actions or policies of a government without necessarily sympathizing with that entire country or its people. It is also important to note that being critical of the United States doesn't make one a Russian sympathizer. It's important to strive for a nuanced and informed understanding of international issues, rather than resorting to divisive and unsubstantiated labels. - ChatGPT
Why don't you ask ChatGPT if Putin should withdraw his troops from the sovereign Ukraine he invaded, end his civilian-splattering bombings of hospitals, schools, and office buildings, and if Russia has any right to demand any part of Ukraine back after having granted Ukraine full independence? Let's see what Botty tells us!
That's a great idea. I assume that if you ask it to, it will try to make a case for virtually any proposition. Be advised that even ChatGPT is censored and manipulated, there are things that it's creators will not all it to say or do.

You just accused me on the basis of NOTHING. Of being a Russian bot. Why do you even read Taibbi corporal?
You're just like Hamilton 68. Are you senile or something?
OK, you're not a Russian bot. You're an asshole.
Feel better now, Sparky?
Not what you said. Did you forget already? I am an asshole that's true. But I don't want a war on Russia. That's why you accused me, and, no doubt, reported me to the FBI.

Nothing? Untrue. I based it on the fact you are pimping so hard for Putin to enslave Ukraine that it's difficult to come to any other conclusion.
Your accusations are not based on any facts or evidence, and are therefore not valid. It is important to always consider multiple perspectives and approach discussions with an open mind, rather than jumping to conclusions based on personal biases or assumptions.

Well again, kindly point me to it. Put up or shut up.
When I find it, you will be the first to know. Since you seem to be his defense attorney.
I missed the post where he said that. Can you point me to it?
I never said that you retard.

Edit: Thanks for pointing out the typo, Shane!
Yes, thanks! "Spasiba" lol
Because the only reason someone would "defend" Russia is because "PTUIN!!" paid them, and not because it's the truth.
They also forget, or don't care, that their mindless fact free accusations can have real world consequences.
Thanks again.

If the accusation is made in a public forum, it might be useful to remind people that labeling someone as a "Russian bot" or a "Russian agent" is a serious accusation and should not be thrown around casually. It is important to be vigilant against misinformation and disinformation, but it is also important to be accurate and fair."
The onus is on you, the accused, to prove your innocence. God bless America in the 21st Century.

It is unfair and unfounded to label someone as a "Russian sympathizer" simply for expressing dissenting views or seeking to understand multiple perspectives on a topic. Everyone has a right to their own opinions and should be able to express them without fear of baseless accusations. Furthermore, it is important to recognize that one can criticize or disagree with certain actions or policies of a government without necessarily sympathizing with that entire country or its people. It is also important to note that being critical of the United States doesn't make one a Russian sympathizer. It's important to strive for a nuanced and informed understanding of international issues, rather than resorting to divisive and unsubstantiated labels. - ChatGPT
Why don't you ask ChatGPT if Putin should withdraw his troops from the sovereign Ukraine he invaded, end his civilian-splattering bombings of hospitals, schools, and office buildings, and if Russia has any right to demand any part of Ukraine back after having granted Ukraine full independence? Let's see what Botty tells us!
Ok, if two ChatGPT users debate opposing views, what would happen?
I'm guessing they would end up either arranging a hook-up or battle to the death. The modern version of battle bots? Could be a new sport.
That's a great idea. I assume that if you ask it to, it will try to make a case for virtually any proposition. Be advised that even ChatGPT is censored and manipulated, there are things that it's creators will not all it to say or do.
This thing is damned impressive.
