There was no nuclear fallout in nagasaki or hiroshima. Put that in your crack pipe and smoke it.

Someone has been watching a few too many Owen Benjamin clips.

Here is video of a cluster bomb lands in a neighborhood street.

Here is another video (different incident) of the aftermath of a Ukrainian cluster bomb missile detonating in the Donetsk, Ukraine.

Another problem is many of the bombs are duds and don't go off. Extensive sweeping has to be done after the conflict to reduce risk of civilians getting killed or injured from unexploded clusters.

He is definitely an environmentalist but I think I am the only one who actually watched his interviews based on the stupid comments in the thread.

I'd like to see a high res still image of that painting. I'm pretty sure that's Marina Abramović in the center.

Shiva copyrighted an interoffice messaging program called EMAIL in 1982. There was no mechanism to patent software at that time. It was limited to use for communication with University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ) in Newark, New Jersey. But not externally.

At the release of his software he writes: "I, per- sonally, feel EMAIL is as sophisticated as any electronic mail system on the market today." and goes on to write "I hope all of EMAIL's users have as much fun using it as I had designing and developing it"

So in short, he wrote and copyrighted a program called EMAIL, but didn't invent electronic mail itself. It had been around for a few years before.

Are the claims true or false?

Fair question.

The claims which I think you are referring to are is RFK's views on climate change, vaccines, and the war in Ukraine.

First of all, most of my perspective on RFK's views are from RFK himself. I have seen a lot of what he has had to say and recently watched his conversation with Jordan Peterson which incidentally has been removed by YouTube. I've also followed Shiva for years.

https://rumble.com/v2t1gla-jordan-peterson-interviews-robert-f.-kennedy-jr..html

I'd recommend you take a look but it's long. So I'll share my takeaways:

At one point RFK was staunchly pro climate change (in the establishment sense) and aligned with the apocalyptic climate narrative. In fact here was one of his more ridiculous views which I believe is no longer accurate:

"Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an environmental and anti-vaccine activist, once called for corporations and conservative groups that dispute climate change to be handed the "death penalty.""

Now he has a more nuanced view of climate change which I think its more reasonable. He believes the climate crisis is real but the the carbon orthodoxy that gets it wrong. He aligns with the likes of Bjorn Lomberg who takes a more measured view on climate change.

He has become more skeptical on vaccines in that he wrote books about it and was one of the loudest voices questioning the covid-19 vaccination. Lastly he changed his mind on Nato/Ukraine as he learned more about why we're there as well.

Look, I'm skeptical on some of RFK's positions. He is far from perfect. He continues to blindly and unequivocally support Israel and the billions of dollars of US aid. There aren't many presidential candidates that don't.

That being said, for an MIT multi-grad, Shiva can exceptionally short sighted. Not to mention to me he reeks of self-interest and disingenuousness.

Happy for you to change my mind, but I won't hold my breath.

Shiva might be nuts.

He maintains he invented email when he was like 14 years old.

He married Fran Drescher

He shits on RFK even though they're on the same side when it comes to vaccine and the Ukraine war.

Also Shiva is running for president even though I am pretty sure he isn't eligible since he was born in India. He probably should return any campaign donations before he gets in trouble for fraud.

I didn't know what ACA was so I looked it up:

Acala (ACA) is an Ethereum compatible, smart contract platform that consists of a decentralized finance (DeFi) network and liquidity hub for Polkadot (DOT). Acala’s infrastructure includes a stablecoin network and liquidity staking platform.

The pronoun convention is weird.

Why is the pronoun convention a pair? He/Him? Why both? And why would someone have mixed pronouns like She/They? Makes no sense.

Also, why are regular people forced to share their pronouns? It becomes a banner of compliance.

Who exactly came up with this standard and when?

When Steven Greer held a press conference in May 2001 as part of his Disclosure Project, he presented testimony from members of the military and intelligence community.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i-48LpRB9c

It didn't get too much media attention, no one really gave a shit, and memory of the event faded away pretty quickly.

The fact that DeSouza's testimony is somehow more meaningful and credible smells like BS to me.

Does anyone have a link to the "trove" that DailyMail is referring to? Why not release it to the public? Also this is probably why the gates affair story just came out, to deflect from the damage these documents would otherwise do.

This newscast is cancer. All I see is greasy man with slicked back hair sensationalizing a headline with no new information for 5 mins. Perfect for retarded viewers I guess.

Questions he didn't answer:

How did contractors work on Tucker's property without objection? My guess is Tucker permitted the work because Fox paid for the set and had the right to take their stuff back.

Why is this coming out now? Someone suddenly decided to leak it to the WSJ (who first broke the story)

Maybe it was Epstein himself

It's interesting that the OP didnt actually link to the article but provided a screenshot And no one else was curious enough to actually look for and read the article?

God this is a stupid comment. Why are you using this topic to opine how you hate such a pedestrian beer brand? You realize the drop in sales has nothing to do with taste right? It's not like they changed their ingredients or brewing process. I think it tastes like shit too, but guess what, no one gives a fuck.

The real question is are they gonna do a 180 and drop their identity politics and get back to their core advertising roots. Check out the 2023 Bud Light Super Bowl ad, it was actually pretty clever and it has no transgenders.

She is a bit of a weirdo, but she is clearly saying in the context of her rape experience it was nothing like the idea of ravishing/fantasy type rape that some people envision.

This was her in the 90s when she sexual assault allegedly happened. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cB3Eed68kSA

Futures contracts went to 0 for that month's delivery primarily because there was was a storage capacity problem. No one had capacity to take delivery. The govt did have storage capacity and should have taken the opportunity to add to the strategic reserve.

Anyway, anyone who uses an Y axis like that in his video should be taken with skepticism.

I have watched American Moon. I also watched "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon" and read "Moon Man: The True Story of a Filmmaker on the CIA Hit List" You won't win $50 bucks but it did raise some interesting questions.

I spent some time watching this stabilized footage and you see lunar dust thrown in the air by the rover. So the question is this how you expect dust to act in a vacuum w/ 1/6 of earths gravity? I'm not sure TBH.

That is a good point. You're correct in that no one talks about CGI in the context of the moon landing. Elon is trolling and I read into his point as to meaning we didn't have the technology to fake a moon landing in 1969.

Regardless of whether Kubrick was involved or not, it would have been hard to fake 50+ years ago.

Russians sent a dog there first

They sent a dog to orbit, not to the moon. She didn't make it back alive. :(

I agree with this sentiment. Instead lets look at establishment vs non-establishment and authoritarian vs libertarian.
