Easily fixed by raising the minimum salary significantly and adding a yearly cost for maintaining the H1B, making it materially more expensive to hire from overseas than domestically.

I’ve been very clear that the program is broken and needs major reform.

Rare realtime access to a high level state prisoner's thoughts and interests. It's quality stuff. Hopefully it's a long time before the phone gets confiscated.

Hundreds of anti-Israel protestors gathered in Times Square on New Year's Day — waving Palestinian flags and calling for "intifada revolution" on the same day a terrorist carried out a deadly car attack in the French Quarter of New Orleans.

The protest — organized by the Palestinian Youth Movement, the Party for Socialism and Liberation and the People's Forum — was led in a chant of "There is only one solution: Intifada revolution."

"We're sending you back to Europe you white b–ches," one female demonstrator wearing a keffiyeh shouted at counter-protestors outside the event, video posted to social media shows. "Go back to Europe! Go back to Europe," she repeated.

"2024 was a year of struggle against the crime of Zionism," one speaker shouts through a megaphone in the heart of the Big Apple.

"We will be here every single year for generation after generation until total liberation and return," they said, according to Times of Israel.

Protestors carried signs with messages like "End All US aid to Israel," "End Zionism," and "No war on Iran."

The crowd also chanted "We will honor all our martyrs."

The demonstration happened just hours after a suspected terrorist, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, plowed a pickup truck bearing an ISIS flag into New Year's Eve revelers on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, killing at least 15 people.

Jabbar, 42, was then shot dead by cops in a gunfight. Three improvised pipe bombs were found nearby in the tourist-drawing French Quarter, including one in Jabbar's truck,

The FBI is searching for any possible accomplices in the New Orleans attack.

The Post exclusively reported that Jabbar, a US-born military veteran, lived in a trailer-park community in Houston that is home to mostly Muslim immigrants.

The rundown home is within walking distance of local mosque Masjid Bilal.

Jabbar traveled to Egypt for 10 days last year, officials told The Post.

He served active duty in the US Army from March 2007 until January 2015 and was a reservist from 2015 until July 2020.

Poland has declined to invite Hungary's ambassador and Prime Minister Viktor Orban to an event marking the start of its EU presidency. The decision follows Hungary granting asylum to Marcin Romanowski, a former Polish deputy justice minister under investigation for alleged misuse of public funds. Romanowski, who denies the allegations, was detained in July but later released, citing his immunity as a member of a European rights assembly.

Relations between Poland and Hungary have been strained. Tusk has criticised Orban's perceived pro-Russian policies and stance on Ukraine. Orban has claimed that Tusk's government views Hungary as an adversary.

I mean, when PiS(s) was in power they started the opening of the Polish parliament 3 years (-ish) ago by threatening to invade Sweden, because a random Swede bought a book in Prague 350 years ago. I would not say poland are known for their W's... but i like this call. Should have been even better if they kicked out Slovakia as well.

Poles are petty and ready to start shit for any reason, good for them tbh

I am Slovak and they should exclude Slovakia too. I could not be more ashamed of the corrupt criminals and traitors who run my country.

Well we do important business with fico so there is no point in doing this. Hungarians are useless.

Ouch

For real. Orban does not care about the Hungarian people, Trump does not care about the American people, Putin does not care about the Russian people and Netanyahu does not care about the Jewish people. There's a common theme among all of these men who constantly praise certain "qualities" within each other.

Leave it to a burger to bring up Trump and Bibi in a completely unrelated discussion

Poland is one of the very few based countries left in this union. Poland is literally solo protecting Baltics from "the West" as well. Thank you Poland and continue doing awesome work.

Yeah, thanks Poland for sacrificing yourself to protect us all if push comes to shove. Your bravery will be remembered by us the survivors

Pole and Hungarian, two good friends - now estranged and at one another throats : (

And all because Poland wants to invade Russia, whereas Hungary is afraid of nuclear fallout. I'm not sure who is smart, honestly. Of course, being militaristic is hella based. But on the other hand, Hungary can't hope to get its share of the pie by virtue of not sharing any border with Russia, so it's a understandable (unless Transylvania?).

Not sure how Poland invading Russia will help Hungary fight us for Transilvania, but we spent a lot more effort into modernizing our army than the magyars did, so

"Poland wants to invade Russia" Are you drunk?

Yeah, all those armaments she's been buying from Korea are gonna pay for themselves, sure... Hundreds of HIMARS batteries, a hundred Apache helicopters, long-range artillery, tanks, record defence spending, all for peace.

Of course, it's not exactly Russia, it's Belarus, but I'm sure people aren't as obtuse. And Belarus does have nuclear sharing with the RF, so my point about nuclear fallout still stands.

No doubt, you must be drunk.

Wait he was literal about that nuclear fallout

This is an absolutely bombshell: the story about the cancelled elections in Romania is even far more sinister than previously thought.

A new report from investigative outlet https://t.co/b0c4sv4Xj3 (https://t.co/j2gt54H0F0) reveals that the TikTok campaign which was cited in the… https://t.co/ztQTGLRd5s

— Arnaud Bertrand (@RnaudBertrand) December 22, 2024

A month ago, November 24th, Romania held a presidential election.

The main parties running were the National Liberal Party (PNL) of Klaus Iohanis and the Social Democratic Party (PSD) of Marcel Ciolacu. Both Europhile, bureaucratic centrists. One slightly more pro-gibs. Imagine democrats and pre-Trump republicans but even more corrupt, stupid and incompetent. There were also other parties, some woke, others !chuds, but all tiny and boring.

Since Poomania has a multi-round election schema, the top candidates, Lasconi, Ciolacu, Simion, and Sosoaca, were angling for the top two spots and trying to kick their main rivals into third or fourth place.

Then election day came around and to everyone's chagrin all four got blown the frick out the water by a guy nobody'd ever heard of: Calin Georgescu, a far-right martial artist whose entire campaign was ran on tiktok. He would proceed to the second round and could potentially become the new leader of Romania (dubious honor)

This post is not about that.

After the election everyone panicked. Woke young romanians panicked because their favourite gibs and environmentalist causes were blown out the water. Geriatric bureaucrats panicked because the grift could end. Romania's European and American "allies" panicked because the last thing you want your puppets doing is voting in their best interest. In short, everyone chimped out and started flinging shit wherever they could to try to prevent Mr. Georgescu's further election.

The only people that didn't panic were the plurality of Romanians who'd voted for Mr. Georgescu. This is because they were too busy consooming tiktok reels.

On December 6nd, to nobody's surprise, a Constitutional Court made up of representatives of the loser parties overruled their earlier certification of the election because the Romanian president "declassified" some "information" that Calin Georgescu was - gasp -

A RUSSIAN AGENT

Somebody'd put together the equivalent of a Steele dossier "proving" that Tru- Georgescu was elected not thanks to savvy social media marketing and the stupidity, apathy and desire for change of Romanian voters, but LE HECKING EVIL RUSSARINOS

The EU, Western NGOs, CIA handlers etc. all hurriedly advised the immediate publication of this information and after some backroom political pressure the court made a mockery of the very concept of democracy by throwing out the election. NATO literally commanded them to do it, and the cucks complied, lmao. The only actual evidence was that Georgescu'd misreported his finances on some forms.

For comparison, the president elect of the United States misused or misappropriated over 500 times that in campaign funds. Nobody gives a shit because we're not kitties and no red-blooded American gives a shit about campaign finance contributions

Even in a shithole like Romania people mostly found the election annulment outrageous, except for this guy for some reason

Now the country will have a redo election in March or May or some shit and the Romanian glowies are busy raiding and harassing Georgescu so him and others like him will never again challenge the primacy of the unelected fаggots in charge of Draculand. No doubt they'll find he scratched his butt with his left hand instead of the right (contra EU directive 14[a]2.1) and needfully put him away for infinite lakh years.

This post is not about that.

@FourthEggnog's r-slurred gypsy butt made a couple of posts about these events swallowing the Russia hoax hook, line, and sinker.

This is because he, like every Romanian, is dumber than the darkest, stupidest !dixie swamp !BIPOCs

His hypothesis (to put it generously) was that Romania was not actually a failing regime of bean counters, incompetent narcissists, subverted and bribed traitors, etc. In fact, all of these were but a front for the actual power behind the throne, a shadowy decades-old cabal of commie spooks

This form of "reasoning" is common among the severely r-slurred. 310+ dramatards upmarseyd and presumably believed his schizophrenic ramblings, despite the fact they made no sense.

...

I was going to go through both posts and link all the shit he said that contradicted itself or was batshit r-slurred but it's literally both giant posts. Seriously, read them. They're entertaining (in the @kaamrev neurodivergent-on-amphetamines way) but 180 degrees diametric to the actual situation. It's insane that someone can have this tenuous a connection to reality while still being able to type.

BREAKING NEWS

Couple days ago a Romanian investigative outlet published a bombshell investigative report into who ACTUALLY funded Georgescu.

To the SHOCK of !nooticers it was... the ruling party itself

A new report from investigative outlet snoop.ro reveals that the TikTok campaign which was cited in the declassified Romanian intelligence documents (summarized in my post below 👇) as evidence of foreign interference - and used as grounds to cancel the presidential election - was actually paid for by the ruling National Liberal Party (PNL), the very party that supported cancelling the elections!

According to the investigation, the campaign called "#EchilibrușiVerticalitate" that the intelligence services claimed was "identical to Russian operations in Ukraine" was organized by a marketing firm called Kensington Communication, hired by PNL (the ruling party), who paid Kensington over 1 million RON for it (about $210,000). Kensington then used a platform called FameUp to coordinate 130 influencers with specific scripts and messaging guidelines.

This puts the declassified intelligence documents in an entirely new light. What they presented as evidence of foreign interference was actually a campaign paid for by the ruling party. The same party that then supported using these allegations of "foreign interference" to cancel an election they were losing.

Even more bizarrely, confronted by journ*lists, Kensington Communication initially denied using the hashtag but later admitted to creating the campaign for PNL, claiming it was meant to be called "#echilibrusiseriozitate" and was changed to "#echilibrusiverticalitate" without their knowledge. Yeah, right...

This means that either the Romanian intelligence services didn't know this was a PNL-funded campaign when they used it as evidence to cancel the election (which raises huge questions about their competence), or they did know and didn't disclose it (which raises even bigger questions about their integrity).

In any case, it seems to indicate that something extremely sinister happened in Romania: a ruling party used intelligence services to cancel an election based on "foreign interference" evidence that they themselves paid for!

Followup:

Also, interestingly, Politico is completely misrepresenting this bombshell investigation: Report ties Romanian liberals to TikTok campaign that fueled pro-Russia candidate

Let me show you how they're trying to spin it.

Politico claims that the investigation shows that "a campaign from a governing center-right party may have been hijacked to benefit far-right candidate." They're framing PNL as being a victim here, seeing their TikTok campaign "hijacked to benefit Georgescu".

But the snoop.ro investigation demolishes this narrative with hard evidence because they found Kensington's (PNL's contractor) original brief and proved influencers were following their exact scripts. The investigation shows exact matches between the script and influencer videos. How is that "hijacking" when the influencers were doing exactly what the brief told them to do?

Most importantly, Politico completely buries the lead: a ruling party paid for a social media campaign that was then used by intelligence services as evidence of 'foreign interference' to cancel an election. That's not a 'hijacking' - that's an explosive scandal about potential abuse of intelligence services for political purposes.

This isn't sloppy journ*lism - it's active misrepresentation. Politico has access to the same snoop.ro investigation we're reading. They chose to ignore the documented evidence of word-for-word script following and instead push this 'hijacking' narrative that the evidence explicitly contradicts.

Instead of investigating how a ruling party's campaign ended up being used as evidence to cancel a democratic election, Politico is helping construct a cover story. They're turning what appears to be potential intelligence service abuse into a story about campaign "hijacking".

Which means we potentially have another major scandal on our hands here: major EU media outlets - the same EU media outlets that regularly lecture about threats to democracy - appear to help obscure what might be the most serious abuse of intelligence services for political purposes in recent EU history.``

I called it as not being the Russians two fricking weeks ago

But this dumbass doubled down on the Russian collusion shit. Fricking tard.

HIs "explanation" goes on and on, increasingly unhinged. Blueanon on the Danube.

To conclude, I am now convinced - as you should be - that the Romanian Constitutional Court was correct in cancelling this election. Where it erred is in not cancelling every future election as well, as Romanians are too stupid to self-govern. Instead, American viceroys must be appointed, to guide the ignorant and wayward vlach peasant into a comfortable, pleasant and thought-free life licking NATO's taint while selling his country and resources to our benevolent corporations.

Powell, believing that he no longer faced execution due to double jeopardy, then wrote an abusive letter to the prosecutor and admitted that he attempted to r*pe Stacie and boasted about his crimes in detail, among several other taunting or threatening letters he sent to the victims' family. The letter to the prosecutor read, in part: "Since I have already been indicted on first degree murder and the Va. Supreme Court said that I can't be charged with capital murder again, I figured I would tell you the rest of what happened on Jan. 29, 1999 to show you how stupid all of y'all . . . are". He detailed how he told Stacie she could "do it the easy way or the hard way" and how she continued to resist him. He then stabbed her and stomped on her neck until she stopped breathing. "I guess I forgot to mention these events when I was being questioned. Ha Ha! ... Do you just hate yourself for being so stupid and for frickin' up and saving me?"

In fact, the principle of double jeopardy did not apply, since although his capital murder verdict had been vacated, he had not been acquitted of the criminal charge and was still eligible to be retried for first degree murder. Using the letter that Powell wrote, prosecutors indicted Powell again for the attempted r*pe and murder of Stacie Reed. Powell was once again convicted and was sentenced to death.

Ok, and? The people were being starved, around 750,000 people. That's a lot of non-military casualties. They were being pushed back, their propaganda said they weren't, but they were, and by 1917 luddendorf was already preparing for defeat. That's why they were already weakening the monarchy before the war even ended, they hoped that the entente would prefer a democracy. Austria Hungary would've been battered by Italy regardless, American troops weren't really there, and if Austria fell, than Germany would be by itself. The ottomans were already collapsing, and Bulgaria couldn't sustain itself (2)

With 100% of the vote, Dread Delusion wins the 2024 rGOTY award in an absolute landslide It's also on sale right now and you can buy it here for next to nothing: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1574240/Dread_Delusion/

And now for a bit about our unanimous winner.

Do you like the way N64 games and Morrowind look more than anything else? I do, and so I wishlisted Dread Delusion years ago before it was even in early access just from the screenshots. It released in full back in May and I'd been putting off playing it until recently because it couldn't possibly live up to the expectations from years of building it up in my head. But no, it actually did and it was way way way better than I even stupidly hoped it could be.

I even really enjoyed the narrative and worldbuilding, and I generally hate those things in games. And DD has a lot of it. Lots and lots of dialogue and ambient shit to take in. The premise matches the aesthetic and I was typing a bit about it but there were spoilers so I deleted it. Anyway it's a very novel postapocalyptic (fantasy world apocalypse) bit where the world is broken and this sick group that killed all the gods runs things now because the gods were all kind of evil and sadistic. But this group sucks too. Everything sucks. It's a world of suck and it's all so compelling and interesting.

There are airships and a mechanical kingdom run by an insane glitching machine king (soviets) and a kingdom where everyone can never die and they all desperately want to and a badass freedom kingdom (Americans) and a broken miasmatic surface world miles below these flying islands they're all so aesthetically engaging and varied and just looking at shit in all its 64 bit lovecraftian glory never gets old and is the primary driver of the game in my opinion.

There is no minimap and no quest arrows. There are a lot of quests. Locating things uses the tried and true system in the bottom of this maymay:

Except even more unreliable because this was made by one guy and sometimes when he says like northwest he actually meant east in another country. But that's ok because there's always shit to find and do and see.

"Choices matter" is an old buzz phrase but it's actually true here. There's almost never a right answer to things, just equally bad answers and maybe one is less bad. Like I let a little boy get eaten by a dormant god so this village's crops would stop failing. The kid dies. His mom is bummed. But I saved the town and it was cool to do so I did that and that was neat.

Anyway congratulations to Dread Delusion. You were full of exciting twists and letting me do things I didn't think I'd be allowed to do. You have flesh farms and god genociding and a town made of maddening clocks and weird abominations everywhere and I even enjoyed reading all of your strange little books to flesh out the world even more.
