The creative team behind many of the viral sensations featuring Lego characters and storytelling critical of the war launched by US-Israeli forces against Iran two months ago, posted a new video on Saturday that seeks to forge solidarity between everyday Iranians and Americans suffering from the conflict, and who desperately want to see the fighting brought to an end.
“The Iranian AI Lego team has another video out,” said Trita Parsi, executive vice president at the Institute for Responsible Statecraft, a DC think tank focused on US foreign policy. “The music, lyrics, and imagery are all designed to appeal to disillusioned Americans.”
When people talk about trump being “unprecedented” I think it’s because people don’t know a prior Republican president specifically and explicitly requested to watch his son (a future Republican president) jack off as part of Skull and Bones…
Like HW Bush full on requested a front row seat, knowing full well what would happen because his dad was also a member too.
Wait what the fuck? What is the context here that I’m missing?
The Skull and Bones society is an elite, secretive undergrad club at Yale University. One of their initiation rituals involves lying down in a coffin containing the skull of Geronimo and jacking off. They are also alleged to possess the stolen skulls of Geronimo and Pancho Villa.
Through the 1800s and 1900s, the Skull and Bones Society helped to mould the future elites of the United States into the perfect psychopaths ideal for management of the empire. Notable members include Prescott Bush, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, John Kerry, Averell Harriman (co-founder of Brown Brothers Harriman), William F. Buckley, William Nordhaus (the economist who won the 2018 Nobel Prize for calculating the optimal level of global warming at 4 degrees C, with any mitigation limiting warming below that being determined to cause too much economic harm); and a whole array of politicians, financiers, captains of industry, CIA men, ambassadors, and so on. And Paul Giamatti. They’ve all jacked off into Geronimo’s skull while other members watched.
That’s disgusting. Literally desecrating someone’s remains. Also, what the fuck.
Oh and by the way, the “Nobel Prize” in economics isn’t even a Nobel Prize. It’s not awarded by the Nobel Foundation. It’s awarded by some bank “in memorial of” Nobel.
a fake nobel prize for a fake science. Appropriate, no? Nordhaus also said in 1991 that global warming wouldn’t affect the economy much since 90% of economic activity takes places indoors.
That’s hilarious. And sad. Mostly sad, actually.
Even all of the economic activity that takes place indoors is contingent upon the economic activity that takes place outdoors. And that “90%” is probably measuring by financial output, not labor-hours.
It’s extremely classist, short-sighted, and precisely what one would expect from such a person…
In short, yup. I have nothing to add
Monkeys spanking monkeys spanking monkeys over pieces of dat ass.
Silly monkeys, give them thumbs, they’ll gather 'round and watch the monkey spank its monkey.
Angels on the sideline again Wondering where this tug of war will end.
