My thoughts on the past week’s headlines in a nutshell
this happened within hours of trump saying he would withdraw from syria – it was clear by the timing that it would be used to demonstrate how shaky a situation it still was over there. with WSJ calling this Obama 2.0 it was clear the spin would be MOAR WARhttps://t.co/QwokyqunK9

Looks like a beta program of Total Information Awareness the goal of which was to track everything about everyone everywhere all the time.
“U.S. gathers data on migrants deep in Mexico, a sensitive program Trump’s rhetoric could put at risk” https://t.co/6N1lVskkGC— Monica Perez (@MonicaPerezShow) April 6, 2018

the info tag on “subversive” YouTube videos is suspiciously reminiscent of the new “info” button on facebook-and boy is it effective-I saw it and thought “oh wow, yeah, better think twice about this.” So I did-the guy seems to check out-interesting org: https://t.co/qClE23fR52 pic.twitter.com/j9KSauZvJh

It drives me crazy when our income tax is described as progressive. by definition income tax is only paid by earners. Also arguably by definition, the wealthiest Americans do not earn ordinary income–only people who work pay income tax. https://t.co/OlmuopCPn0

Making websites liable for criminal activity their users “may facilitate” is defo in the offing – that’s what will totally lockdown the Internet once and for all: “I didn’t WANT to censor you, I HAD to do it!” pic.twitter.com/kmW4KwVpCG

From Trump tanking the market with Amazon tweets and tariff talk to Republicans jumping ship, just resurrect the hashtag #GOPLoseOnPurpose…it was before its time in 2016–#ManchurianGOP didn’t forfeit the WH but maybe just to fuel the #BlueWave. #WTWOF https://t.co/KHaUtFgPMz

#ProblemReactionSolution strikes again: prompted by outrage (reaction) over data breach (problem), Congress debates Internet regulation (SOLUTION)…NB it’s really all about the “solution” from the start https://t.co/gkA8en1Bdc

What’d I tell ya @freedomactradio?
Events like these would make big news in 2018…
driverless infrastructure will be the solution after the outraged reaction “For the children!”

Classic redirection…the antiwar left is gone, their moral energy redirected to compassion for refugees (of course compassion is good!) without thought of why there are so many refugees (prevention is better!)—it’s not Assad attacking his own people, it’s our agents & allies pic.twitter.com/MzfRTVMAvZ

Saw the Trump pullback from Syria as a headfake from minute one…narrative set up from the beginning: “bad stuff happening in Syria draws a reluctant Trump back into the fray” https://t.co/NLK8WR9rcT

From the spending bill to Syria Strike #ImpulsiveTrump is morphing into #ReluctantTrump … funny how now matter how hope&changey or draintheswampy a guy seems, he always concludes #WarIStheAnswer after all…

#RogueRepublican Trump will get us into a war everyone else in both parties can disavow while also saying: “But now that we’re in the war we have no choice but to win it!” It’s amazing how each new President exploits the last hope of a jaded population while the wars march on….

The first alleged chemical weapons attack was by the rebels not Assad – similar debunking of the false claim that Assad drops chemicals in his own people followed the other accusations. Our interest in bombing Syria has nothing to do with saving Syrians. https://t.co/soIoZeRu76

MSM spreading disinfo again! The mercenary invasion of Syria is NOT a “civil war” anymore than regime destruction (hasn’t risen to the level of regime change yet since it’s still in shambles) in Libya was. https://t.co/wRYesmAQNE

We destroy countries we’ve overrun w/ terrorists, unseat strongmen who lock them up, then flatten their countries, open their jails&spread terrorism&refugees everywhere, only to be told to give up our rights at home b/c now there are terrorists here. #NotDefensiveNotHumanitarian

It eye opening that so many people are ignorant of the our long history of destroying countries, killing civilians, using chemical weapons and interfering in elections. Of course you won’t read about any of it in school.

Borderline treasonous congressmen abandoning their posts 2 the Blue Wave. Last 2yrs looking more & more like a setup 2fundamentally transform this country into a Eurostyle social democracy.

This is total subterfuge – what better way to make it look like this isn’t a grand plan in service of the power at the top than to paint Trump as a “tornado of impulses.” Conspiracy? What conspiracy? https://t.co/7MFhqBwxXw

Congress says Trump has the power to strike Syria…I guess after Obama tried to go the legal route & failed, they’re just going to fudge it. (If only all the Congressmen who carry the Constitution around in their pockets would just read it once in awhile….) pic.twitter.com/gwXx8CL32X

Funny how Trump’s “tornado of impulses” touches ground just where every other politician’s does: big spending, more war.

We might literally be on the verge of WWIII and this is the homepage of https://t.co/4KLHIrGzwP. Not a mention. There could be no better evidence that all this salacious tabloid fodder (which now actually involves a tabloid!) is the true purpose of the #DistrActorInChief pic.twitter.com/HIQ7njbJyF

When we suggest that it’s our job to strike Syria for “gassing their own people” and don’t think they or their allies should retaliate, I have to wonder what the argument would be if Russia bombed us after Waco? Just a “surgical strike,” mind you… https://t.co/oWvmIyHpCw
