What a disappointing conclusion to this whole ordeal. They look like chumps, letting the inspection be orchestrated like that and not aprehending the ship or fining the owners.
I guarantee this will keep happening if they keep being this passive about communications infrastructure being destroyed.
These games are so old i can almost hear the clack-clack of the CRT monitor changing resolution as the game launches.
Man, it’s days like this i feel bad for not paying my taxes in Ireland. What an exemplary attitude. I wish Israel left my country too. Europe should all be making Israel unwelcome, not cozy up to them.
We’ve had enough genocidal, ethnic cleansing, mass murder, racist regimes.
Honestly, they don’t really need to prove malicious intent. The stakeholders of the cable should hold the ship owner liable for the cost of repairs, holding the ship captive as collateral until such a time comes that the amount is paid. If the cost can’t be paid, then confiscate the ship and sell it to recoup the cost and as a deterrent measure.
Whether or not they did it intentionally and why is a matter that should be left to intelligence agencies who will interrogate the crew and collect information about the ship to understand what’s going on and act accordingly.

I’d really like to know which charitable organizations are helping the Israeli. You know, so i don’t accidentally donate to the wrong people.
From a small research other than the ones with explicitly Jewish names, Save the Children and World Vision are funneling money to the imperialists. Avoid donating if you don’t wanna end up supporting settlers.
How much do you have to suck to run a campaign against Donald Trump and lose twice. Other world leaders outright say he speaks like a child.
At the end of the day you can blame the electorate all damn day or you can recognize the embarrassment that is the US democratic party and the campaigns they ran, completely missing the mark.
May history never forget the crimes of the zionists, the US government and the European countries that still support Israel against humanity itself.
This seems to be the issue across Europe, or at least in a great part of Europe. The huge break in fertility didn’t happen in a vacuum. Articles keep saying it’s porn or women’s rights, but I’m pretty sure that’s not it. Women can work and we all can crank and still have families.
It happened because governments stopped caring about the youth and lining their pockets and the old constituents’ pockets, as they got used to the baby boom and thought they could take advantage of the youth forever. The entire social security system is predicated on leeching from the current youth rather than saving up for the future.
Being young in Europe sucks. I’m with the Germans on this. I feel so unsupported and paying for everyone, even if i could afford kids, i wouldn’t have them anyway. A sharp break in fertility is the only form of protest that governments will listen to in order to stop ignoring, lying to or just outright taking from the youth. Not only that, even those poor sods that still have kids, for some reason, face an absolute disgrace of a childcare and school system. Underpaid teachers and a general lack of facilities makes you wonder where does the youth money go.
Immigration is all fine and dandy, but everyone knows Immigration will not fix the issues caused by neglecting the youth. The issue is systemic. Once immigrants are integrated, their kids will also not have kids. One way or the other, the system is coming down.
Better do it with the army conducting training exercises nearby then. Appeasement doesn’t work with these kinds of people. They will strike and if conflict is inevitable, might as well push your enemy to meet you on your terms rather than when they’re ready.
Of course i don’t mean striking first, certainly not in this situation. But carrying out defense within one’s borders isn’t exactly something the international community would see as a valid enough cause of provocation for a preemptive strike. Israel is losing support worldwide and cracks are starting to form in their economy.
Imagine if Ukraine had properly built defenses when it was clear Russia was about to attack them, instead of starting to build them 6 months after Russia invaded, hoping they wouldn’t attack. The amount of manpower they would have saved. How many times must history teach the same lesson over and over again. How come we even have armies like the Lebanese army who wouldn’t even defend their own citizens from an invading foreign force just to appease. It just doesn’t seem right to me.
It’s a matter of time until Israel starts taking Jordan land as well. The writing is on the wall. If i was responsible for defense in Jordan, I’d start constructing defensive fortifications, anti air and military communications infrastructure as soon as possible.
I don’t know how much that would help though, the US will actively put down anyone who tries to defend themselves from Israeli expansion.
Why rebuild something when you can repurpose it ?
In many places around the world old structures like warehouses, train stations, churches, convents, fire houses and other things are seen as an architectural opportunity to repurpose as housing, usually due to cost, but that lead to very unique dwellings that end up influencing other houses that are built from the ground up. Architects pounce at opportunities like this. The results are often superior to what a standard house built from the ground up would be.
The thing about anonymity that a lot of people don’t get is that there is no such thing as 100% anonymous. Vpn makes it more expensive to track you. Tor makes it more expensive to track you. Good opsec makes it more expensive to track you but ultimately, if you’ve got a target on your back, there is no way to be 100% anonymous.
The thing you gotta ask yourself is, what is your threat model ? Are you hiding from LEO on account of torrents or just want some privacy from corporations? VPN is fine. Are you buying drugs on the darkweb ? TOR is fine. Are you selling drugs on the darkweb ? You probably need a more sophisticated masking network mesh. Are you involved in CSAM or run a darkweb market ? Nothing you do will help you, you are going to get caught, that is a certainty.
Don’t go wasting your precious brain matter on developing a leak free network. There is no such thing. If someone wants badly to track you down, with enough money, they will. Best you can do is be a little bit more trouble than it’s worth to spend on you. For some things, like i mentioned before, there is a cutoff point where you’re as anonymous as you’ll ever be. For others, there is basically unlimited resources to track you. Even using TOR, they can get you at your entry node, like it has happened before, if no one else in your neighborhood is connected to TOR.
I mean, i can see why. What are a few drugs, tax fraud and gun felony next to being cumplicit in the genocide of an entire people.
I bet Biden is proud of his son, for being a little better than him. Hopefully, Hunter’s son will only get speeding tickets.
I’m all for organized political action and activism. I’m all for organized, popular supported forced redistribution of wealth to correct wealth inequalities if need be. But the key word would be organized by the people for the people, not taking TVs and Playstations for one’s own personal gain. If there’s a court or an assembly determining a tax on the ultra wealthy, sure. Otherwise it’s just not activism.
Karma is misunderstood. Most people think Karma is a cosmic will of sorts that strikes you down or lifts you up. Karma is the suffering you get when you don’t live according to your Dharma, that is, the way your own values, environment and consciousness determine as the way you live with the most happiness and least suffering.
Do you think that rich people are happy ? Sure, they have money and comforts, but when you own things, there’s a kind of misery that comes with owning things. Envy, theft, fake friendships, family issues, large unending responsibilities, insurances, places to store things, getting mentally stuck in this ever growing obsession with more stuff and more power to prove something to someone and not even for happiness anymore.
Sure, when you’re poor, money solves a lot of problems. But to amass large wealth and power carries a cost and a kind of suffering of its own. Buddha said that happiness comes from threading the middle way between asceticism and abundance. Owning less than you need or more than you require only brings you suffering.
I generally don’t go over the speed limit. I never got a speed ticket. But for instance if i do break something at my work and nobody sees it, i do let my bosses know.
However, i can appreciate one isn’t always perfect. I’m certainly not, but i try to be as best i can. And as far as i try to be, i own up to the things i do whenever i can. Don’t let the Nirvana falacy make you take a TV.
Activism, revolution and even confiscation of wealth under a regulated tribunal isn’t what i would call stealing. It’s political action. The wealth is given to the people. Taking things from stores because you want a TV isn’t what i would call political action.
It’s not about the company. Who cares about the company. It’s about who you are as a person. If your honesty is conditional, you’re not honest. You’re a thief who doesn’t steal from poor people.
That’s not for any of us to judge (unless any of us are cops or judges, otherwise judging would literally be our jobs), certainly not me, but for you to live with and suffer the karma from.
And it’s still crazy that the irony has not dawned on Germany. They wanted so bad to avoid being seen as evil they ended up supporting the very evil they are running away from.
