    Seems like the real opportunity as always is in the countryside. Port-au-Prince is mess but at least from this doc it doesn't look like the influence of the armed groups extends far beyond that. Who knows for sure though.

    Alright finally got around to watching it

    Wow, what a story. Could definitely support a blowback season. It would be fascinating to get the backstory on some of these characters. There are definite "smells" of CIA here, particularly the drug running and arms trafficking networks based out of Florida.

    I had no idea the US had invaded Haiti. For 20 years no less!

    It seems it was really the earthquake that broke Haiti's back, just textbook disaster capitalism. Like, I hated the Clintons before but fuck I hate them even more now, somehow.

    Still not sure how to feel about the armed groups. Extortion is just taxes by another name. Where are the Marxists I wonder?

    It does seem that a BRICs aligned peacekeeping force would be the best thing for Haiti based on this video. Some stability and belt and road investments.

    Looks very interesting but long so I'll have to come back to it later tonight. I will say I hate the framing of the armed groups as "gangs" it's just so racially coded. Groups of armed men fighting over control of the government are more appropriately referred to as factions in my view.

    I am also sure the CIA is balls deep in this, would love to know where those weapons are coming from. There's a lot more to the story than what we are being told and I am sure this video is a good resource on it, hence your posting it. Looking forward to it and will comment again after viewing.

    What the fuck even is this story

    So now they're saying someone else left a knife on the platform in the confusion? And the cops picked up the wrong knife? And some guy walked up and took the knife from a dead wounded guy?

    This makes absolutely zero sense even by NYPD standards

    These cops just murdered shot this guy bc he told them to fuck off is my guess. I am sure we will learn that the body cams malfunctioned or were turned off next.

    Edit: the victim is not dead fortunately

    I had a post removed today for using the word "spook" in reference to government agents, a common usage that I see around the site, because it is a racial slur, although ive never seen it used with that intent (not that it matters), and it only gets removed maybe 10% of the time. In order to be consistent and not offend any comrades I would propose adding it to the word filter so its removal will be uniform and not open to mod interpretation.

    https://youtu.be/nHlNJXcBOFg?si=S-B8TY7NUO1JcTa5 Op is 2023, this one is 2021 Now the question is do you take the man’s words at face value? I struggle to see how you can call a unified coalition of armed groups fighting to depose the government “gang members” Who the heck knows what’s going on here but the rhetoric speaks for itself, and CIA arming and funding of opposition militias would definitely not be unheard of. I don’t know anything about the last pres who got assassinated before Henry (who is resigning today) took over in an “interim” capacity 3 or 4 years ago… There is more to this story for sure imo, this is one to watch

    SOTU thread

    IMO: Sleepy Joe looked about as good as he could up there. His brain left his body a couple of times but nothing that couldn’t be papered over, no McConnell freezes etc. Overall the speech was the same liberal pablum we’ve been receiving for the last 20 years. He cited Reagan positively lol. Biggest flop imo was he went hard right on the border, at one point calling for the president to have the ability to shut the border down if the number of migrants gets too large. At one point he talked about some girl who was killed by “an illegal.” Very bad look overall. He also called for a two state solution which I guess has been the official policy or whatever for a while now. They’re going to build a temporary pier to land aid in Gaza. Time will tell how that goes. It will take a few weeks to build, many will starve by then, and there still need to be roads etc for aid to actually reach people. Other topics covered that I can remember is a bunch of Lucy football shit; banning assault rifles and high capacity magazines, lowering prescription drug prices, protecting roe, raising the minimum wage and increasing taxes on the wealthy and corporations— you know, all the type of shit the dems could have done while in full control of the government but didn’t because manchin or the parliamentarian or whatever the fuck. At any rate I think what he needed was to go out there and talk for an hour without having his brain leak out of his ears. Mission accomplished. Whats your take?

    What’s the right way to do e-readers in this year of our lord 2024

    I like reading on e-ink, my kindle just keeled over but want to get out from under the Amazon bs. Anything that won’t have me fucking with a laptop is a bonus.

    Electronics nerds get in here I have a question about speakers

    My in laws gifted my kid this pretty cool RC car but it makes this awful music that’s REALLY loud. Can I wire a resistor in series on one of the speaker legs to turn the volume down, say 50%?
