Israel is one of the most prolific sources of foreign interference in governance and democratic elections in the world today, to a degree easily comparable to Russia and China, vastly outpacing other threat actors like Iran. They frequently (and famously) throw their support behind far-right isolationist and ethnonationalist groups who oppose pluralistic democracy and want to replicate the ‘Israeli model’ of ethnonationalism at home. Their interference is often downplayed because of (1) American pressure on Israel’s behalf, and (2) domestic pro-Israel lobbies who threaten to sink politicians, civil servants, and governments in accusations of antisemitism for raising it as an issue. This is often a thorn in the side of domestic counterintelligence services, including in the US, where pressure from the ADL and others have been explicitly cited as strong deterrents against holding Israel accountable for both interference and espionage (both military and industrial). That the ADL intervened on Jonathan Pollard’s behalf when he was first tried, and Trump was compelled by Adelson and members of his own Administration to pardon Pollard’s handler on the last day of his first Presidency, are some of the most glaring public examples. Israel’s reputation as an election interference powerhouse is so significant it has spawned an entire cottage industry of private sector “interference-as-a-service” providers who operate both on behalf of the Israeli government and others, while offering a layer of plausible deniability. That their interference is not only allowed to persist but has become so infamous they now sell it as a private for-profit service just shows how much operational freedom they’ve been granted in democratic affairs the world over.

@drewfromD8ton @feverburnt I would check that out

@flieldy @feverburnt His Christmas album fucking slaps.

It’s tight being an old man because I get to tell a young dude on my route the band he just excitedly discovered is actually one guy who got cancelled 8 years ago but he did make a really sick collab album with Jesu that nobody knows about

@unusual_whales Thank you madam president

President Claudia Sheinbaum has announced that Mexico seeks to resume fuel shipments to Cuba.

@LouisTibbs Just Mark. Some abuse allegations iirc. Was never a big fan so I can’t speak too much on it but he did seem like an asshole from my limited perspective

@flieldy Ok wait I’m sorry what did Justin Broderick and mark kozalek do to get cancelled?

@finalnormalman It’s bizarre and I love it. The lyrics are so funny he just talks about like grocery shopping and reading the newspaper and then he’s like “oh yeah Nick Cave’s son died today.” Weird and beautiful stuff.

@flieldy That jesu album is so goated, i've never found anything that gives me the same mix of hateful and hopeful

Sir, yes, all of that is important, but where is Alita Battle Angel 2

@MojaveBloodlust Eyehategod Noothgrush Dystopia Grief And if you’re looking for something with a little extra flavor: x.com/flieldy/status…

Recommend me some good sludge metal

@winterm00n_ @MojaveBloodlust That’s right

@airpippens The man knows food

this dude just retweeting anything

@feverburnt I tried his other stuff I’m just not the target demo. I usually don’t like folk unless it has a healthy dose of rock, psych, jazz etc. Sheperd’s Dog, Sixteen Horsepower, Springsteen or Neil Young is about as close as I get

@flieldy Man he is a real fucking piece of shit, but I gotta admit he’s made some good songs

This bullied young soldier had the courage to stand up to his tormentor. Not likely that JDV has anything like that courage.

Few remember the attempt by the emerging Breitbart right a decade ago to make Ted Cruz into the epic chud hero character that they eventually channeled into Trump

@Claynecast @thamosdeaf $50???

I don’t like his comedy but he does look cool

@BadSunAK Yes lol

@flieldy is this*

Corrected a dude that it was Benicio Del Toro in One Battle After Another, not Javier Bardem and he immediately apologized to me

Skill issue, man. US politics has been depressing as hell for decades, but I get it. Finally retired and now the empire is crumbling. So now I just talk to him about home repair

My dad used to love ranting with me about politics but now I think Democrats’ complicity with the Trump/Israel/corporate terror machine became obvious even to him and now he’s too depressed about it to bring up politics at all lol
