dont forget the translation CS:
looking for the correct translation :lol:


on edit:

so apparently there are two parts to this:
Te Rauparaha composed "Ka Mate" circa 1820 as a celebration of life over death after his lucky escape from pursuing Ngāti Maniapoto and Waikato enemies.[1][2] He had hidden from them in a pātaka, a food-storage pit, and climbed back into the light to be met by a chief friendly to him – Te Whareangi (the "hairy man").

The haka as composed by Te Rauparaha begins with a chant:[1][2]

Kikiki! Kakaka!
Kauana kei waniwania taku tara
kei tarawahia, kei te rua i te kerokero!
He pounga rahui te uira
ka rarapa ketekete kau ana
To peru kairiri mau au e koro e!
Hi! Ha! - Ka wehi au ka matakana,
ko wai te tangata kia rere ure tirohanga
ngā rua rerarera
ngā rua kuri kakanui i raro! Aha ha!

Let your valor rise! Let your valor rage!
We'll ward off these haunting hands
while protecting our wives and children!
For thee, I defy
the lightning bolts of hell
while my enemies stand there in confusion!
O God – to think I would tremble
to a pack of wolves seeing fear, or running away,
because they would surely fall in the pit of shame
as food for the hounds who chow down in delight! Oh, what in the name…?

Out of context. She's talking about them using social media to AMPLIFY the strife. It's part of their playbook. Also, obviously, nothing can be flamed in any way that didn't exist in the first place.

And when I say amplify, they'll be cross posting/tweeting on protests sites and white supremacist sites

But when anyone delivers a message like this, they need to make that VERY clear, I guess by repeating multiple times every 15 seconds so clips don't get snipped out of context.

Also, when the situation is still raw like this, maybe the part about Russian disinformatin, which while true, isn't THAT significant, and can held for a later time.


Just seems like a clueless statement to me which deflects from the raw anger being displayed here. The Russian “interference” is really white noise at this point. Where is her head at?

Brees fixed it

https://football.realgm.com/wiretap/44258/Drew-Brees-Issues-Apology-I-Completely-Missed-The-Mark

Drew Brees has issued an apology for his comments on "disrespecting the flag," saying he "completely missed the mark" on current issues in the United States and that it "breaks my heart to know the pain I have caused."

It was all over social media. Clips of them harassing random black people.

Then yesterday a group of a few hundred black people went up there and it was all sunshine and rainbows and we're all brothers.

President AMLO on verge of striking deal with Trump to purchase the White House grounds for the cost of 1600yd of metal fencing. So he built The Wall around Mexico & Mexico paid for it. Trump & First Family allowed to remain as undocumented immigrants through 1/20/21.

Susan Rice was National Security Adviser and we're supposed to dismiss her insights because of an axe grinding putz like Kyle K?

When she says the Russian Playbook, it means exactly that whether or not a particular instance is instigated by Russian actors or stateside agitators.

If anything, now is exactly the time to be alert to Russian influence. They hacked the DNC and gave Brad Parscale voter registries to profile and target Facebook ads to swing votes. Practically every American state has reported attempts to hack their voter database. In other words, they will try to steal the election and their propaganda tactics will be used for the next five months regardless of who is funding or guiding those efforts.

Sorry if Americans are tired of hearing about Russian influence, but they never really listened or gave it very deep consideration to begin with. The Israelis participate in these disinfo tactics as well, but bored Americans aren't interested. Netanyahu, Putin, MBS, they all do what they can to aid Trump. Maybe someday leftists who regurgitate alt-right memes will finally wake up that they are useful idiots and they will realize what people like Glenn Greenwald are really up to. Of course Russia is connected to the things you say. They write some of your talking points. The rest are written by American GOP collaborators.

Several days ago Thomson Reuters partnered with Tass Agency.

That's means Reuters feeds are now compromised. And they will be disseminated to news rooms all over the country.

That's a fact, not paranoia.

To me seems like nothing more than a completely baseless accusation with nothing backing it up. “I haven’t looked at intelligence but it’s out of their playbook” is not a rational logical basis to be making such a bold accusation, may as well say it’s right out of the establishment playbook to try to blame foreign actors for anything that they perceive as threatening to the status quo and a way to easily discredit and marginalize ppl and ignore the very real anger and pain being felt by the community. She should come with some some facts or stop red baiting

Personally I find it asinine to even suggest that black people or really anybody with a beating heart in their chest needs russia to convince them to be furious about what happened to George Floyd especially when it rests on the foundation of 400 years of oppression, slavery, Jim Crow, segregation, mass incarceration, economic inequality, and state mandated police brutality targeting the communities. Russia isn’t beating shooting and gassing peaceful protesters and random citizens in the streets right now, that’s the NYPD with the approval of a democrat mayor. And what Trump is doing threatening to use the military on his own civilians is enough to get anybody with a pulse terrified and infuriated about the loss of our rights. That is all us . We don’t need to look across the ocean for an agitator we can just look out the window.

I understand why people can't digest this truth at this particular moment.

But the timing is really NOW because Reuters basically just merged with the Russian news agency

AND

Rod Rosenstein just testified to Congress that EVERY SINGLE allegation in the Mueller Report is legitimate and justifiable. That means everything, i.e. including what Trump's consigliere William Barr blacked out with his copious use of his magic marker. IOW, everything alleged is based in fact and there's much more yet to be shared with the public.

It is timely as hell actually, but I get it, the protests and riots have pushed everything else to the back pages including new localized surges in the infection rate.

But there's only five months so these topics are very close to the bone regarding the survival of our democracy, because they are going to try to steal the election. It's super relevant. Hoping in a week or two people do discuss it when they are ready to shift their attention.

Well if there is, it was not presented other than “it’s out of the playbook” and “I wouldn’t be surprised if” which is not evidence-based (just remembered that this was one of the 7 words trump banned from the CDC) and not more than speculation. If they had any it would be in your face every single day. And even then I’d probably approach it with a great deal of skepticism.

I typed my comment before I watched the Kulinski video, was surprised at how much his analysis lined up with my own, except he knocked it out of the park with the points about exceptionalism and reluctance to own it so we can change and do better. I don’t watch him much but yeah, nice one KK.

His points can be valid and everything the Russians are doing is true, at the same time. In fact, that's generally how it works. I think it's a mistake to think that acknowledging one voids concerns over the others. But I've seen that stance from other progressives in the media before, so I'm not surprised. It's as if they are so defensive over their stances - which they probably should be, since the mainstream tends to not give them proper attention, that they rush to talk down stuff like this.

This guy can do his thing. I'll work on holding two different thoughts in my head at the sametime. Three if you include the Knicks!

I'll still hold to my timing remark. Just let a few more days go by. I wasn't saying weeks or months.
