Meet the man who was under the hood, electrocuted and urinated upon by US forces at Abu Ghraib prison, this is the reality of the US democratic state and its imperialism military.
At Target this lady told her son he couldn’t have a Wonder Woman doll because “that’s for girls” and then bought her daughter the same one. It got me thinking about how often I see people bar young boys from appreciating girls/women as protagonists and heroes, and my own experience with it as a kid.
This.
All of this.
I still see this in the childcare profession. From EDUCATORS!
For real, just this year, a professional documentation entitled “Boys will be Boys”
Your racist Facebook uncle may have sent you a link to a trailer for “Plandemic,” a conspiracy movie that stars a disgraced virologist called Judy Mikovits who makes a string of claims about her credentials and the coronavirus.
Science Magazine evaluated those claims.
Unsurprisingly, the majority of claims that Mikovits makes about her credentials and the science of coronavirus are provably false.
* “Dr Judy Mikovits has been called one of the most accomplished scientists of her generation”
“Mikovits authored 40 papers and wasn’t widely known…before she published the 2009 Science paper…. The paper was later proven erroneous and retracted.”
* “Her 1991 doctoral thesis revolutionized the treatment of HIV/AIDS”
“Mikovits’s Ph.D. thesis, “Negative Regulation of HIV Expression in Monocytes,” had no discernible impact on the treatment of HIV/AIDS.”
* “[Her] blockbuster article in Science… sent shock waves through the scientific community… revealed the use of animal/human fetal tissues was unleashing plagues of chronic diseases.”
“The paper … only claimed to show a link between one condition and a mouse retrovirus”
* “It started really when I was 25 years old, and I was part of the team that isolated HIV from the saliva and blood of the patients from France where [virologist Luc] Montagnier had originally isolated the virus…”
“At the time of HIV’s discovery, Mikovits was a lab technician in Francis Ruscetti’s lab at NCI and had yet to receive her Ph.D. There is no evidence that she was part of the team that first isolated the virus.”
* “There is no vaccine currently on the schedule for any RNA virus that works.
“Many vaccines that work against RNA viruses are on the market, including for influenza, measles, mumps, rubella, rabies, yellow fever, and Ebola.”
* “I’m not antivaccine.”
“In the PowerPoint presentation she sent to Science, she calls for an immediate moratorium’ on all vaccines”
* “[Italians are] sick with inflammatory disorders. They got… an untested new form of influenza vaccine that had 4 different strains of influenza, including the highly pathogenic H1N1. That vaccine was grown in a cell line, a dog cell line. Dogs have lots of coronaviruses.”
“There is no evidence that links any influenza vaccine, or a dog coronavirus, to Italy’s COVID-19 epidemic.”
* “Wearing the mask literally activates your own virus. You’re getting sick from your own reactivated coronavirus expressions, and if it happens to be SARS-CoV-2, then you’ve got a big problem.”
“It’s not clear what Mikovits means by “coronavirus expressions.” There is no evidence that wearing a mask can activate viruses and make people sick.”
[ID: three tweets from Existential Comics/@existentialcomics:
1: Bill Gates made his money by extinguishing free software and forcing us to pay him a tax just to turn our computers on. This was only possible because the State was ready to violently enforce his “intellectual property”.
He didn’t create a computer revolution, he destroyed one.
2: Zuckerberg made his money in the exact same way, of course - by destroying a free social network. A social network was bound to emerge, what Zuckerberg did was prevent it from following open protocols, like email, so just anyone couldn’t set up a server to socialize with anyone.
3: To say these people added value to the world and therefore “deserve” their billions is absurd. They subtracted value, an enormous amount of value, and stymied progress to seize control and extract wealth. Computers and the internet would be more advance if they had never existed.]
Everyone forgets how hated Bill Gates used to be and the lawsuits he got, his PR team is the best out there
“I always remember having this fight with a random dude who claimed that ‘straight white men’ were the only true innovators. His prime example for this was the computer… the computer… THE COMPUTER!!! THE COM-PU-TER!!!
Alan Turing - Gay man and ‘father of computing’ Wren operating Bombe - The code cracking computers of the 2nd world war were entirely run by women Katherine Johnson - African American NASA mathematician and ‘Human computer’ Ada Lovelace - arguably the 1st computer programmer”
Also Margaret Hamilton - NASA computer scientist who put the first man on the moon - an as-yet-unmatched feet of software engineering, here pictured beside the full source of that computer programme. #myhero
Grace Hopper - the woman that coined the term “bug”
Grace Hopper did more than coin the term “bug”. She invented the first program linker in the early 1950s, for the UNIVAC I. A program linker translates instructions from one language to another (for example, numerical codes that represent instructions translated to machine code that computers can read), which is the very foundation of how computer’s operate independently. she also pulled a steve rogers and tried to enlist in the military a bunch of times and was denied. then, an exception was made for her when she joined the navy reserves, and she ended up serving for over 40 years (half of which was active duty). she retired from the navy Rear Admiral Grace Hopper. she was born in NYC in 1906. Grace Hopper was a fucking badass.
also computing was typically a job for women (many of whom were black women that made incredible contributions) back in the day, so it’s absolutely fucking wild that straight white men think they are the foundation of computer innovation. men PUSHED women out and took the credit.
Reblogging to do what the failed education system never did.
Some people threw white paint on it a few years back.
They want to be a victim so bad.
Fun Fact: That’s a statue of the fist which Joe Louis used to knock out Max Schmeling, Hitler’s favored heavyweight boxer in 1938. Schmeling won the 1st bout by knockout in round twelve, but Joe Louis came back in the follow-up match and laid him the fuck out in the 1st round.
Fun Fact: Schmeling was hated by the Nazis for losing to a black man and for having a Jewish manager, and he hated them right back, stating in 1975 that he was glad he’d lost the fight because the thought of the Nazis using him for propaganda purposes sickened him. He also personally saved the lives of two Jewish children and later became lifelong friends with Joe Louis.
So maybe don’t refer to him as “Hitler’s favored heavyweight boxer”…
Thank you for this additional info!
Reblogging this for the added facts and so people know that Schmeling wasn’t a Nazi or Nazi collaborator and was in fact a good man
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
