*something*
Since this is in the NYT, we are being prepped for ideological surgery. This is normal! An unelected person - Blackrock CEO Fink - controls our economy and will until we do *something*:
“As Federal Reserve Chair Jerome H. Powell and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin scrambled to save faltering markets at the start of the pandemic last year, America’s top economic officials were in near-constant contact with a Wall Street executive whose firm stood to benefit financially from the rescue. Laurence D. Fink, the chief executive of BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, was in frequent touch with Mr. Mnuchin and Mr. Powell in the days before and after many of the Fed’s emergency rescue programs were announced in late March. Emails obtained by The New York Times through a records request, along with public releases, underscore the extent to which Mr. Fink planned alongside the government for parts of a financial rescue that his firm referred to in one message as ‘the project’ that he and the Fed were ‘working on together.'” - NYT
THE LIES OF FALLEN EMPIRES: (Note: In Russia I cannot access my hometown newpaper in Stratford Canada because the owner - Post Media - blocks all Russian IP’s because he hates Russia.) Of course everyone in Russia and China just uses VPN’s and do and they can go anywhere on the Internet. The US SHUT DOWN dozens of domains that hosted news from Iran. VPN does not fix that; it’s pure censorship. What is the Global West so afraid of? What does Iranian propaganda say that they are afraid of us seeing? We should all now be very curious. Does our overseers think we are so stupid as to believe everything Iranian news says? Are they afraid we will recognize what our sanctions are doing to our human counterparts there? That they are starving? That they have no medicines? What is it they fear we about us?
What does what we do, do?

Former Chief Prosecutor Carla Del Ponte "I Keep Telling Myself that Justice Will Prevail":
Carla Del Ponte prosecuted some of the worst war criminals of the 20th century at The Hague. These days, though, the international justice system seems to have lost its teeth. What went wrong?
DER SPIEGEL: One controversial issue that you had to address was who had used chemical weapons in Syria.
Del Ponte: The commission didn’t want it to become public that the rebels had also ( as well as Assad) used chemical weapons. But the proof was clear.
DER SPIEGEL: You took it public on your own. Was that a mistake?
Del Ponte: No. It was necessary. The commission was a sham. The goal was to simulate action, but not to actually hold those who had committed crimes accountable – whether it be Assad or the rebels.
