Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov confirms Elon Musk's Space X crippled Ukrainian capabilities last night. In other words, the US deliberately sabotaged European defence operations mid-mission. Every country in the world should move away from buying American hardware ASAP.
"I can confirm that tonight SpaceX has implemented a speed limit on Starlink terminals while in motion.

The limit currently applies to the StarShield “military package” and is set at 100 mph.

Our defense forces were not given notice of this limit, and this has resulted in the disruption of a number of missions.

It is clear that this action cannot be a coincidence and is related to the current political situation."

After federal agents shot Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, a New Yorker sent ICE's director an email in January comparing him to a Nazi. This week, DHS agents stalked him across New York. His home. A hotel. They gave his wife a letter warning of criminal prosecution. www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...
Two DHS agents on a doorbell camera.“You are a monstrous human being and will go down in history as America’s Reinhard Heydrich, the butcher.

“The way you are protecting the obvious execution in Minnesota, even as we see the videos, will lead to your downfall. Even Trump will turn on you before the end, and you will be a sad, despised man who eats himself alive with shame at your own pathetic weakness.

“You will never know peace. You will seek to lose yourself, to escape the burden of knowing the truth about yourself. But wherever you go, you will find yourself. You will torment yourself until your last day on Earth.”

‘dear rax, my middle class parents are ashamed that i clean houses for a living’ www.patreon.com/posts/160262...
You have nothing to be ashamed of, though. You're doing good, necessary work, and it's not your fault the work has been so thoroughly devalued as to make you an object of other people's shame. That shame isn't about you, by the way. It's not about wishing you were an architect or an oral surgeon, though that's the externalized shape it may take. Your parents are ashamed because their kid cleans houses, which
forces them to recognize that there's no difference between them and the people who clean houses. A house cleaner is no longer an unfortunate to be pitied, an uneducated bum whose crappy life plays out across a thank-God-unbridgeable divide. They share their
DNA with one. No difference at all.
In a just civilization that understood its humanity a little better, parents would be ashamed to admit their kids were tech CEOs or finance titans. If that sounds polemical, then I guess a rational evaluation of evidence must be polemical. What did a house cleaner ever do to any of us, except try to make our environments a little sweeter? Versus what do the tech CEOs do? The finance bros? Some people are made important by their work while others are made untouchable by theirs, and boy do most of us get it backwards on which is which.
