IT WOULD NOT BE DIFFICULT MEIN FUHRER!

It bends the mind just how horrendously lovely the Bush administration was in every possible measure and it made me super frustrated when political newbies showed up this election equivocating the Democrats and Republicans. No motherfucker. If you weren't politically aware during the Bush years you absolutely aren't allowed to make that statement.

In retrospect the Bush administration actually gives me a lot of hope for America because if we can survive that we can survive anything.

Didn't happen. The company hired a few private planes to hand-drop homemade bombs, but the only actual military 'involvement' was flyovers to scope the situation out.

quote:

The use of the "echo" originated from a 2014 episode of The Daily Shoah, a podcast produced by the far-right blog The Right Stuff. The podcast includes a segment known as the "Merchant Minute", where Jewish names are spoken with a cartoonish echo effect to single them out.[1] The editors of The Right Stuff explained that the use of an echo, represented in text using triple parentheses, was an internal meme meant to symbolize an opinion that the actions of Jews in the past cause their names to "echo throughout history", stating in its lexicon that "echoes repeat the sad tale as they communicate the emotional lessons of our great white sins, imploring us to Never Forget the 6 GoRillion."[5][1] From the inside out, each parenthesis represents, in their opinion, Jewish involvement in harmful media, involvement in mass immigration, and global Zionism.[1]

Wow, this is a thing that actually happens!

quote:

On a winter morning in 1994, Massachusetts resident Fred Boyce turned on his car radio, and was shocked by what he heard. A federal committee had just revealed that 50 years earlier, a group of children at Fernald State School—an institution for the developmentally disabled—had been unwittingly fed radioactive cereal by MIT researchers.

“That can’t be right!” he yelled. “That’s me!”

In the late 1940s, Boyce was one of some 90 children, most of whom were classified as “feeble-minded,” selected by MIT to be used as test subjects. With offers of free meals and Boston Red Sox tickets, they’d been coaxed to join a “Science Club” without knowing that their inclusion would make them guinea pigs for various radiation-laden nutrition studies funded by Quaker Oats.

It wasn’t until decades later, on that winter morning in 1994, that Boyce became aware of what he’d been secretly put through. It incited one of history’s most searing debates about the ethics of academic research and the necessity of informed consent.

The “Science Club”

In the late 1940s, two major brands, Quaker Oats and Cream of Wheat, were competing for cereal market share. At the same time, cereals in general were under a bit of nutritional scrutiny: a series of experiments had revealed that plant-based grains contained naturally high levels of phytate, an acid that inhibited the absorption of iron and calcium.

When MIT decided to look into how the human body absorbs essential minerals and vitamins, Quaker jumped at the opportunity to fund the study, largely out of a desire to “give them an advantage over Cream of Wheat.”

After securing additional grants from the National Institutes of Health and the Atomic Energy Commission, MIT formulated a plan: they’d “recruit” 40 children from the Fernald State School, an institution for the developmentally disabled, and feed them cereal with radioactive tracers (which, even today, are used to trace processes in the human body).

there was a wikileaks tweet beefing on people checking them and they beefed on the triple parentheses thing i guess not knowing it had any connection to jews and there was some massive backlash being stirred up by journalists on twitter. it was very confusing because i googled it and really could not figure out wHat the gently caress the parentheses were or how it made them racist. it was before that wikipedia page was created

this was right around the time of the email leaks so i think the DNC was doing damage control and sent off some anti-wikileaks stuff to all of their news sources. that's another thing that actually happened, a searchable database of DNC emails- a cornucopia of corrupt and hilariously immoral poo poo just waiting for you to read it. except if you talk about it it makes you right wing fringe :grin:
