@larroumecj @HippioScipio Please a paragraph on US concentration camps and deportation of american-japanese and american-italians!

@HippioScipio I devote a whole paragraph to how the United States swindled Britain. The American objective was to take possession of Europe by defeating not only the Axis powers, but also the two rival Allied powers, France and the UK.

As tensions between Europe and the United States grow sharper, the old rhetoric according to which America generously saved Western Europe out of pure benevolence is being wheeled out again by Americans. It needs to be understood clearly: THIS IS A COMPLETE FABRICATION. Entry was forced, not chosen •Neutrality maintained from September 1939 through December 1941, despite the fall of Poland, the fall of France, the Battle of Britain and the onset of the Shoah. •The US entered only after Pearl Harbor (7 December 1941) and Hitler’s declaration of war on the US (11 December 1941). No American initiative. •House vote to extend the draft on 12 August 1941: 203 to 202. One vote. •Gallup polling 1939 to 1941: a consistent majority opposed entering the war. The America First Committee reached around 800,000 members. Britain paid cash before getting aid •“Cash and Carry” (November 1939) required belligerents to pay in gold or dollars and to ship in their own bottoms. •“Destroyers for Bases” deal (2 September 1940): 50 obsolete WWI destroyers in exchange for 99-year leases on eight British bases (Newfoundland, Bermuda, Caribbean). •Britain was forced to liquidate US-held assets (American Viscose sold to a Morgan Stanley syndicate in March 1941) before Lend-Lease was enacted. •Lend-Lease Article VII (Master Agreement, 23 February 1942): British commitment to dismantle Imperial Preference as a condition of aid. War aims: dismantling the British Empire and seizing its succession •Atlantic Charter (14 August 1941): Roosevelt inserted self-determination and equal access to raw materials, directly targeting the Ottawa Preference system of 1932. •Bretton Woods (July 1944): the dollar became the reserve currency, Keynes’s “bancor” plan was rejected, sterling was subordinated. •Council on Foreign Relations War and Peace Studies (1939 to 1945, Rockefeller-funded): explicit planning for US succession to British hegemony. Roosevelt betrayed France repeatedly •Treaty of Guarantee signed by Wilson, Clemenceau and Lloyd George on 28 June 1919. France surrendered the Rhine frontier in exchange. The US Senate refused to ratify (Versailles rejected on 19 November 1919 and again on 19 March 1920). The British guarantee, tied to US ratification, lapsed automatically. France had traded the Rhine for nothing. •June 1940: Reynaud’s telegrams of 14, 15, 18 June begged Roosevelt for intervention or at least a public commitment. Roosevelt’s 13 June reply offered material aid and explicitly refused military commitment. He forbade publication. •The US maintained full diplomatic recognition of Vichy until November 1942 (Admiral Leahy as ambassador to Pétain). •Operation Torch (November 1942): a deal with Darlan, the Vichy collaborationist, then with Giraud, deliberately excluding de Gaulle. •Casablanca / Anfa conference (January 1943): Roosevelt tried to impose Giraud, a docile military figure, over de Gaulle. •Roosevelt’s “Wallonia” project: in 1942 and 1943 the President proposed to Anthony Eden and to Lord Chandos the creation of a new buffer state, “Wallonia”, carved out by detaching Alsace-Lorraine and parts of northern France from French territory and merging them with French-speaking Belgium and Luxembourg. France, the country that had been invaded, was to be amputated by its own ally. The plan was dropped only because of British opposition and de Gaulle’s establishment of facts on the ground. •AMGOT plan: a US military government envisaged for liberated France, with its own occupation currency printed in advance. A pure denial of French sovereignty. •Recognition of the GPRF withheld until 23 October 1944, more than four months after D-Day, while the GPRF was already administering liberated France. •France excluded from Yalta (February 1945). The French occupation zone in Germany was carved out of British and American zones at Churchill’s insistence, against Roosevelt’s preference. Strategic priorities served US interests, not liberation •“Germany First” (ABC-1 plan, March 1941) was set before Pearl Harbor to protect the Atlantic and the hemispheric position, not to rescue Europeans. •The second front was delayed from 1942 to 1944 despite Soviet demands, in favor of Mediterranean operations covering imperial sea lanes. •Quincy Pact (14 February 1945, USS Quincy): the Roosevelt and Ibn Saud agreement secured Saudi oil before the war was even over. Continued business with the Reich •Ford-Werke, Opel (a GM subsidiary), IBM via Dehomag, ITT via Focke-Wulf: American-owned industrial assets operated inside Nazi Germany throughout the war. •Standard Oil of New Jersey and IG Farben agreements on synthetic rubber and aviation additives are documented into 1941 and 1942. •Union Banking Corporation (Prescott Bush) was seized under the Trading with the Enemy Act only in October 1942. Indifference to the persecuted •Évian Conference (July 1938): the US refused to raise immigration quotas for Jewish refugees. •SS St. Louis (June 1939): 900 Jewish refugees were turned away from US shores. •The rail lines to Auschwitz were not bombed in 1944 despite War Refugee Board requests and the available range of bombers based in Italy. American soldiers were not ideological crusaders •Around 16 million Americans were mobilised, of whom about 10 million were conscripted under the Selective Training and Service Act (September 1940), the first peacetime draft in US history. •Samuel Stouffer, The American Soldier (1949, around 500,000 surveys): the primary combat motivation was small-unit loyalty and wanting to go home. Abstract ideological motives (“Four Freedoms”, the defeat of fascism) ranked low. •The extermination of the Jews was not publicly known at the scale we now understand until the camp liberations of spring 1945. “The war to save the Jews” is a post-1960 retrospective construction. •GI Bill (June 1944): around 8 million beneficiaries. This was the real domestic payoff, a middle-class expansion program, not a liberation crusade. Postwar result: American primacy, not European freedom •US GDP rose from around 27 percent of world output in 1941 to around 50 percent in 1945. The only major economy enriched by the war. •Marshall Plan (1948) conditioned on market opening, the exclusion of Communist parties from government, and purchases of US goods. •NATO (1949) under permanent American command (SACEUR). US bases installed in Europe to the present day. •The empires of the allies (British, French, Dutch) were dismantled within twenty years. The US emerged as the sole Western hegemon. Conclusion None of this is a moral indictment. It is, in truth, perfectly normal. In the long history of nations, it is exceedingly rare for a country to send its children to die out of altruism. States send their sons to fight to defend their interests. That is the rule, not the exception. The Americans behaved as any serious power behaves. The fault lies partly with us, for having believed otherwise. But it lies also with the Americans of today, who sincerely believe their own propaganda, who have ended up taking the Hollywood version of their own history at face value, and who now lecture us from the height of a fable. We would like, finally, to talk to them as adults talk to adults, between people who understand the real nature of things. We were fortunate that, for a moment in history, American interests partly coincided with our own. That coincidence was real, but only partial. It meant the defeat of Germany and the holding at bay of Soviet Russia, both of which served us. It also meant the deliberate weakening of Britain and France, the dismantling of their empires, and the subordination of their currencies and industries, none of which served us. The same hand that pushed back the Wehrmacht also pulled down the pillars of European power. We benefited from the first half of that movement and were diminished by the second. We can still be grateful to the young American soldiers buried in Normandy, Lorraine and the Ardennes. Most had not chosen to be there. They were fighting first for their own, not for ours. Their deaths remain tragic, and we did partially benefit from their sacrifice. Gratitude toward them is owed and should be plainly expressed. It is a separate question from the strategic intentions of the government that sent them. The choice facing Western Europe in 1945 was real: vassalage to the Germans, vassalage to the Soviets, or vassalage to the Americans. Of the three, American tutelage was by far the least brutal, the least extractive, and the most compatible with the survival of parliamentary institutions and a measure of prosperity. That is not in dispute. But the lesser of three evils is not generosity. Vassalage is not liberation. The two should never be confused. The lesson is ours to draw. No one but Europeans will ever defend the interests of European children. It is time to reclaim our independence, so that our children inherit a future of their own, and not one held hostage to the shifting interests of Washington.

@CairoTiger @MatrixMysteries This was Biden’s world. Trump Executive Ordered that out.

@MatrixMysteries Student loans, if federally guaranteed, should be at zero interest, zero late fees, and they should be automatically discharged without penalty after 25 years.

An American checks her student loans. She borrowed $49,548.74. After 120 payments, she’s paid $25,558.36. Her current balance? $50,121.33. After paying $25k… she now owes MORE than she originally borrowed. This isn’t aid — it’s a SCAM.

@MatrixMysteries Any loan works the same: it’s calculated across the entire period & the interest amount is calculated. You pay the interest until it’s extinguished, then you start knocking the original amount. This if she chose not to contribute to the capital repayments during this period.

@newstart_2024 But also questions the therapies in act in the medical world today to ‘cure’ it. What’s pseudo-amphetamine gonna do to that?

“ADHD is not a disorder of not knowing what to do. It’s a disorder of not doing what you already know.” Dr. Russell Barkley just delivered one of the clearest explanations of ADHD I’ve ever heard. He says the brain can be split in two: the back part acquires knowledge, the front part (the executive system) uses it. ADHD acts like a meat cleaver that severs the two. You already have the skills and information other people your age have. You just can’t apply them when it counts. That’s why life becomes an endless series of last-minute crises. You’re time-blind — you can only deal with what’s right in front of you. The further away a goal or deadline is, the less real it feels. The solution isn’t teaching more skills. It’s changing the environment at the exact point where the problem occurs — the “point of performance.” It’s a game-changing way to understand why traditional approaches often fail.

@cryptofergani Are you mad? BTC dominance is skyrocketing this month.

Y'all are not ready for this bullrun and it shows. No more partying, no more distractions. You have to change your mindset. Selling for 5% gains is a bear market mindset. You must be ready to sacrifice everything. Get greedy. This opportunity only comes once every 4-5 years. Our alts and memes will start doing 10x,50x,100x and more. If you’re reading this, you’re not late. You still have time, But it’s running out. Like this tweet, and I’ll share the alts and memes I’m buying. Follow me so you don’t miss it.

@juliaioffe @Grok describe the Antichrist presenting as the Angel of light

Sorry, what is…that?

@juliaioffe - Matthew 24:24 (Jesus' warning): "For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect."

@Gerashchenko_en @generalkellogg To all the brainwashed conservatives in the US, some facts: the EU has 100 Million more consumers than the US making it the biggest consumer base in the world. And, as per Grok: The European Union is the biggest buyer of American goods. NATO is not the EU…study geopolitics 101

Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg @generalkellogg: We need to tell NATO that we are going to have a new NATO. As a defensive alliance, we've asked them to pull their own weight. When we go through the Strait of Hormuz, a lot of that stuff goes to Europe, a lot of it goes to the Pacific. This is the time when we ought to have a Pacific and a European relationship, a peace organization, a defensive organization.

@javedhassan @tparsi @mb_ghalibaf @ryangrim @samirahmed14 @humza_jilani @citrinowicz @glcarlstrom @s_m_marandi @esaagar @samigodil Wasn’t it Khameini? Khomeini has been dead for years.

So, a couple of the boys have been texting me: “Why the hell would Trump drop the Hormuz blockade bomb on a Sunday? It’ll send oil screaming past $120, maybe $130 if the algos really panic. Makes zero sense if you actually want cheaper barrels.” But it makes perfect sense. Beautiful, even. See, Tokyo and Hong Kong are already humming by the time the East Coast is still nursing its coffee. Those futures pits—Dow, S&P, the whole equity complex, plus Brent and WTI on the screens—never really sleep. You’ve got fourteen, fifteen hours of runway before the New York bell. Plenty of time for the right hands to lean in: long the indices in Hong Kong, short the crude in Tokyo, riding the fear wave as the blockade tweet lights up every terminal from Singapore to Sydney. Then, right on cue, before the U.S. opens, comes the pivot. Something about “there’s regime change in Tehran,” “we can do business,” “Talks were Good,” the usual art-of-the-deal baloney. Markets whip around like they’ve been Tasered. Oil gives back the spike, stocks rip higher. The boys in Asia unwind clean, pocket the spread. A few hundred million, maybe more, conjured out of thin air on the back of one perfectly timed Sunday morning post. Not bad for a morning’s work. The Street’s been running these kinds of games for decades: information, timing, leverage. Just never quite so… presidential!!

@JVMonte2 Trampled Underfoot specially how they played it live on the 1975 US tour.

Now Playing: Physical Graffiti What’s your favourite track off this album?

@Vintage77Ball Roberto Baggio. He would be amongst the all time gods of football had it not been for that Fifa World Cup 94 Final penalty shootout miss.

When many people debate GOAT between Messi, Ronaldo, or Pele... Maradona comes with a ball at his feet and reminds us all: football is an art, not just statistics. Who do you think is the player with the highest pure talent in history? Maradona or something else?

@abilasports WTF…well spotted. So unprofessional. Sell him while he’s still worth something.

Mbappe’nin kişilik özelliklerini en net gösteren pozisyon. Takım arkadaşı pas vermedi diye pozisyona katılmayı reddediyor.

@LesPurves Well…Led Zeppelin 1 & 2 influenced virtually everything up to the mid 70’s and continues to a lesser degree in perpetuity.

Are these the greatest albums of the 1960s? • Revolver – The Beatles • Highway 61 Revisited – Bob Dylan • Are You Experienced – Jimi Hendrix • The Velvet Underground & Nico Four records that didn’t just define a decade—they rewired what music could be. Am I missing any essentials, or is this the core of 60s innovation? #60sMusic #ClassicRock #VinylCollection #MusicHistory #RockLegends #PsychedelicRock #BobDylan #TheBeatles #JimiHendrix #VelvetUnderground #AlbumOfTheDay #MusicDiscussion

@joncoopertweets Probably sabotage the boat and take them all with me to Davy Jone’s locker.

Orbán, Putin, Netanyahu and Trump are in a rowboat that’s sinking in the middle of a lake. You can only save one of them — who would you choose?

@theepicmap What crap AI slop! The Emirates plane was taxi -ing into a canal?

What would you do in this situation?

@cryptofergani Do you feel stupid now? Don’t you follow geopolitics?

@JohannaNyman5 I hope it backfires badly. I mean, Orban must’ve been desperate to call in internationally controversial persons with collapsing national support like a shaky Trump and even shakier Vance…

I never thought I’d see a U.S. president and vice president actively back a European leader caught collaborating with the Kremlin at the expense of Europe’s security. That will forever be the legacy of Trump and Vance in Europe. We will not forget.

@blockchainchick This is old…and nothing happened to any of them…on the contrary, they intensify efforts……

THIS IS THE CHART THEY WILL SHOW IN DOCUMENTARIES. A 94% CRASH. $4.3 BILLION IN LOSSES. ZERO ARRESTS. AND A DINNER INVITATION. Look at that chart. $48 to $2.81. A 94% collapse. That is not a bear market. That is a liquidation event disguised as a political movement. The $TRUMP token launched January 17, 2025. Three days later he was sworn into office. Within weeks, 810,000 wallets had lost a combined $2 billion. By 2026, total retail losses crossed $4.3 billion across nearly two million wallets. For every $1 insiders earned, retail investors lost $20. The Trump family and affiliated entities collected over $600 million through fees and token sales. Trading fees alone generated $100 million in the first 19 days. Exchanges banked another $172 million. And 94% of the token supply sat in just 40 wallets from the start. This was a memecoin where the creator became the President of the United States, then dismantled the SEC's entire crypto enforcement division, closed every active investigation, paused every pending case, and then hosted an exclusive gala dinner for the biggest holders at his golf club while protesters outside shouted "Shame." 43% of the guests at that dinner were underwater on their investment. Now there is a second gala planned for April 25 at Mar-a-Lago. The token hit an all-time low of $2.73 the day they announced it. And there is still $2.7 billion in insider tokens locked until 2028. That is not a vesting schedule. That is a countdown to the next wave of selling pressure. Meanwhile the MELANIA token is down 99%. No regulator intervened. No enforcement action was filed. The one agency that could have acted had its crypto division gutted by the very administration that launched the token. A bill was proposed to ban officials from issuing memecoins. It went nowhere. In any other context this would be called a pump and dump with presidential immunity. Instead it got a dinner invitation.

@HistoryVille And..The US wasn’t even an afterthought 500 years ago.

On October 31, 1501, former Cardinal Cesare Borgia purportedly hosted an orgy in the Vatican with "50 honest prostitutes" in which his own father, Pope Alexander VI, not only attended but participated in. It was known as the Banquet of Chestnuts. Pope Alexander VI was considered one of the most corrupt popes in all of Catholic history. His name was associated with incest, adultery, bribery, and murder. The pope was also known for selling official positions within the Church and securing power and wealth only for his family, the House of Borgia. #HistoryVille
