What does “toning down” mean? Like lie about what we know to be true? Fuck that, they’re the ones that are misinformed and they’ll never learn if the only people that manage to have actually become informed despite all the propaganda are too afraid to speak truth.

Couldn’t they just go even further south? I don’t think it’s feasible to blockade between the cape of good hope and Antarctica is it? That span is 2,600 miles. Or am I missing something?

Depends how many gold bars. A one kilo gold bar is worth over $65,000 and they're incredibly easy to sell, so it's just an off the books cash bribe. 15 gold bars would be a million dollars

It's gotta be a sea route, like a ferry or something. Can't imagine it being a train

Venezuela isn’t starting a war, so you can start by not making up nonsense like that to slander them?

Norman Finklestein wrote his doctoral thesis debunking somebody who tried to “nu uh” the Nakba. It’s his critique of a book called “From Time Immemorial”.

Others of Finklesteins writings and lectures would be a great source I’d think. Or works like On Palestine by Chomsky and Pappe. Anything written or spoken by Chomsky about Israel is actually probably pretty good and lib-friendly. He has a way of cutting through bullshit and propaganda.

Hélder Pessoa Câmara[a] OFS (7 February 1909 – 27 August 1999) was a Brazilian Catholic archbishop. A self-identified socialist, he was the Archbishop of Olinda and Recife, serving from 1964 to 1985, during the military dictatorship in Brazil. He was declared a Servant of God in 2015

Yeah Conan was his original dog who died and he had 4 clones of that dog made and named them Milton, Murray, Lucas and Robert after libertarian economists.

True I think I’ll start small and try collecting certain small sets of coins, and just grab anything that really catches my eye or stands out to me otherwise.
