Well, that may be one of the countless reasons why the US, under reasonably sensible leadership, has not attempted to attack Iran. Now it has come to pass because a pedophile, threatened by his heinous deeds catching up with him, decided to try it anyway in order to distract from the crimes he and his degenerate crew are committing - in open violation of international law as well as US law. He and his accomplices in Israel apparently trust that the US citizens will let him get away with it unpunished. How about it, US citizens - is that the case? Is there really no justice left in your country?

What's up with the Epstein Files?
The whole point is to distract attention from the Epstein files. So...
Thank you very much for the explanation :)
Can someone explain this to me? I'm out of the loop when it comes to mainstream social media, and I suspect that's what this is about...
Thanks for pointing that out. I'll definitely take a look at that. It's remarkable how the US has managed to maintain an image of "freedom" for years, even though it uses autocratic surveillance methods not only only on any other country but on its own citizens - and also for years and years. You almost have to be grateful to Trump for revealing all this in such an incredibly stupid way, just to enrich himself.
In 2020, the European Court of Justice declared the Privacy Shield agreement, an agreement on data exchange with the US, incompatible with European law and thus effectively terminated it, not because of the activities of any corporations, but because data stored on US servers is not sufficiently protected from access by the US government (Schrems II ruling). The reason for this is the absurd legislation in the US, such as the Patriot Act, which, although it has been weakened, still allows the state to force any company or private individual to hand over all data processed on servers physically located on US soil, even without any suspicion or a court order.
As a result, all US companies doing business in the EU were forced to operate servers on European soil in order to continue their activities legally. European companies that used US providers that did not comply had to switch to providers that do not operate servers in the US.
Unfortunately, it took only 21 months for US lobbying to undermine the European Court of Justice's decision: in 2022, a follow-up agreement was adopted, the "EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework," which is no different from its predecessor at all. The legal situation remains the same in the US, and once again there is no protection of data from the US government.
In short, anyone who uses services that are processed on US servers is not protected from arbitrary access by the US - and this also applies to EU citizens.
I don't feel sorry for anyone sitting there.
The prominent hacker Kevin Mitnick, on the other hand, was sentenced to a long prison term, with the judge perhaps slightly overestimating the danger he posed:
Mitnick served five years in prison—four-and-a-half years' pre-trial and eight months in solitary confinement, because, according to Mitnick, law enforcement officials convinced a judge that he had the ability to "start a nuclear war by whistling into a pay phone",[36] implying that law enforcement told the judge that he could somehow dial into the NORAD modem via a payphone from prison and communicate with the modem by whistling to launch nuclear missiles.[37]
If he found out, he would probably say, "Fuč ík" and just go with it.
The US regime has already committed so many serious crimes by now that I would be surprised if it did not try to establish a dictatorship. If it did not do so, all members of the government would risk prosecution as soon as they were voted out of office, even in a legal system as corrupt as that of the US.
Yes, and it's also great that the regime is setting up a secret police force with ICE that has a budget equivalent to the military spending of a medium-sized country...
Seriously, how can any reasonably rational person accept this? Why doesn't the population paralyze the country with a general strike until this criminal regime is forced to resign? That would also be an opportunity to finally overcome the associated oligarchy and force through the reforms that have been necessary for ages. This includes a fundamental update of the constitution, which has not been updated for at least 150 years, something the US seems to be proud of for some inexplicable reason, which can only mean that this country is unaware that it is still celebrating a system of apartheid.
The same applies to the rule that constitutional judges are elected for life - for obvious reasons, there is no other democratic country in the world that would adhere to this; likewise, there is no democratic country that has an electoral college system or similar that does not even take into account the population of a particular state.
