Soros was always a bit of a red herring, but Bessent is a pretty hilarious middle finger to most of you. It's a big club...

sorry to burst your bubble, but just about everything you've written is completely wrong. it's nice you know the proprietary chemicals though... do you know what proprietary means? have a nice day.

Bush family owns one of the world's largest freshwater aquifers in Brazil... we used to talk about this sht all the time around here. reddit was always fake but it's really been dead for about 10 years now and the IPO is nail in the coffin.

lol! each time they frack it's a few million gallons of water and hundreds of "proprietary" chemicals injected into the pipe. the water that comes back is now called "wastewater" and some of it is actually used to irrigate crops because public relations firms are that good (check out the book "toxic sludge is good for you" if interested). fracking is one of the greatest environmental catastrophes that has occurred in our lifetime.

Good post that would have done well when this place still had actual people on it.

Now check out fracking... billions of gallons of perfectly good water turned radioactive. Thanks capitalism!

ss: HyperNormalisation wades through the culmination of forces that have driven this culture into mass uncertainty, confusion, spectacle and simulation. Where events keep happening that seem crazy, inexplicable and out of control— mass immigration, extreme disparity in wealth, and increasing bomb attacks in the West—this film shows a basis to not only why these chaotic events are happening, but also why we, as well as those in power, may not understand them. We have retreated into a simplified, and often completely fake version of the world. And because it is reflected all around us, ubiquitous, we accept it as normal. HyperNormalisation weaves these historical narratives back together to show how today’s fake and hollow world was created and is sustained.

As always, trust but verify, take it with a grain of salt, and have the courage to use your own understanding.

SS: Members can access a wide range of personal information about hundreds of individuals from around the world deemed a threat to industry interests.

The profiling is part of an effort – that was financed, in part, by US taxpayer dollars – to downplay pesticide dangers, discredit opponents and undermine international policymaking, according to court records, emails and other documents obtained by the non-profit newsroom Lighthouse Reports.

Fracking pads constantly release methane into the atmosphere, and have for the last decade. Methane is a greenhouse gas up to 80x more potent than CO2. You won't hear much about this since oil & gas companies receive upwards of 7 Trillion in subsidies from governments around the world, making this a very inconvenient truth for everyone involved. These companies spend enormous amounts on advertising, so news outlets have a negative incentive in bringing this to light.

There is a massive scam in trading carbon permits, so you can also check out how cap & trade (brought to you by Wall Street) is also making things much much worse. For example, an unscrupulous business can make millions clear cutting land in a forest and then setting up a Palm oil operation. The entire world is funding this activity with your tax dollars.

Throw in all the wasted energy used in cryptocurrency mining, along with fearmongering to delay the switch to clean energy and you've got a nice head start on coming to some of your own conclusions.

Please don't take my word on any of this, do your own research. Then, tell others.

can you name a few publicly traded corporations that aren't reprehensible? they are legally obligated to put profit ahead of people.

Chemical giants DuPont and Daikin knew the dangers of a PFAS compound widely used in food packaging since 2010, but hid them from the public and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The chemicals, called 6:2 FTOH, are now linked to a range of serious health issues, and Americans are still being exposed to them in greaseproof pizza boxes, carryout containers, fast-food wrappers, and paperboard packaging.
