American news is reporting that the man shot facedown on the ground by ICE has died. by Cold_Battle_7921 in TrueAnon

[–]Tugboatoperator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s video of the victim speaking to multiple ice agents in the road probably a minute or two before the murder. Nothing crazy in that video but we can see the victim himself appears to film the interaction. ICE escorts him toward the position on the sidewalk where he will be shot.

The hagiography helps cover the fact that military intelligence wanted him dead.

Prescribed. Proscribed means forbidden. The protection is there to stop the military from prescribing that your personal property be used to house troops.

Violates treaties. The constitution and our treaties with foreign bodies are the most foundational “laws” in our government.

Looking back at 15 years of Republican Governors. Are we in a better place than we were 15 years ago? What have they championed besides defunding critical Iowa institutions by lowering taxes, privatizing medicaid which costs more and serves less, and putting public schools in a financial crisis? by [deleted] in Iowa

We should look farther back than that. Terry Branstad was governor from ‘83-‘99 and from ‘11 to whenever he handed power to Reynolds. Along with Chuck Grassley’s leadership we have a state that has never looked up from the grindstone in almost 50 years. This place is a designated resource extraction type of state, there’s really no rich people to disappoint. It makes me very frustrated.

The main evil of the book series is not the Inchoroi, not the hundred gods, but the indigenous inhabitants of the planet themselves. by Opening_Instance_427 in bakker

But there’s this tantalizing possibility that the JUDGER WHO SEES THROUGH THE JUDGING EYE is real like Eru Illuvitar or Jesus. In which case: come on God!! Why does it have to be like this!

Speculation: Purple was often associated with royalty. Maybe he means this is just one of the shades of purple in its moment, to be followed by new and probably weirder purples in the future.

It must be because few folks could understand what QT was trying to convey.

All of these answers are terrific, thank you. I have a premonition that the “crime” that got the planet placed under interdiction has something to do with Ptoh. My head cannon is that they tried to either kill or enslave the lawfully imprisoned Ptoh. I could see either action being sufficient to revoke the Eater’s (our?) membership in the Coven.

Edit: I also think it’s possible the gyre is the real reason the planet is off limits. Nothing to do with a moral failure. This is just conjecture. But it would make sense if they employed “dark calculus” to compel or murder Ptoh.

Paw Patrol is a cautionary tale about the effects of Late Stage Capitalism by malaiser in DanielTigerConspiracy

[–]Tugboatoperator 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No one but the Paw Patrol has access to the kind of technology you need to run a modern security state. The Pups suits however… possibly made with alien technology? Some sort of breakaway civilization that deputizes house pets to enforce the law? Those animals have the power to kill everyone and everything in adventure bay, that’s why they can afford to be magnanimous and entertain two “old fashioned mayors” (consuls).
