These facts are true. I've seen it reported on back then. Those in the center-right establishment world will continue to lie about this in order to smear progressives. This will not gain any allies but will push progressives away. The US has the best propaganda, don't we? (Unfortunately)

I’ve promised myself to figure out why I don’t vote shame people even though it is so easy to do. My first thought is, I believe that everyone has a right to their own opinion and choices. My second thought is, I’ve been vote shamed for 10 years and I realized it is a reprehensible thing they do.

Well said, Owen Jones! I know which book I want to buy next. Historical context matters. It serves to show us where we have been, which road we are on, and where we are destined to land. The west, you will see, is on the road to ruin and collapse. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Hdp...

A few doses of reality from George Galloway's show, MOATS. Much of this will not be discussed on your mainstream channels. And some of those who hear this will deny it's happening. It's good to learn and be reminded of these things. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gm3L...

I may have been on the other side of the continent when the 9/11 attack happened 25 years ago, but I remember it well. I also remember a first responder from New York who lived there and had medical problems from dealing with the disaster zone. Many people know similar stories and will never forget.

Here's an excellent retrospective about the 9/11 attacks 25 years ago from a Canadian viewpoint. With all the vitriol that is directed against Canada nowadays, it is truly a must-see. Very poignant and moving in places. ❤️🇨🇦 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mi1E...

Because Democratic Socialism does not support grifting, they continue to be smeared by those who value money over people. The propaganda takes hold and voters are led to believe any socialism is extremism. I am hoping that more will see the advantage in helping all people this time.

I like to think of this one as, “Assume control, don’t be controlled.”
A young man in a confessional booth saying, “Don’t bless me, father, just because you think I’ve sinned.  It’s been too long since my last confession to count, but I’ve been thinking purer thoughts lately.  I have this desire to live my life ethically and point out others who live their lives without ethics or morals.”  On the other side, the priest is scowling.
