  1. There is a subcontext of power relationship going on here. There was a point where the guy was pushing and Vitality was threatening violence. It is clear to me looking at the two of them if Vitality had moved to blows he would have been missing his front teeth and both of them knew it. But in my opinion the man was highly skillful in telling off the asshole and pushing it while remaining calm and never threatening force. Telling him right to his face in a nice way that he was a low-life prick. And he was doing it for the right cause – confronting an asshole bully that was making a living tormenting poor working people. Also, people who watch this shit and are entertained are equally low life. They support it by making it profitable.
  2. This is the best video I have seen on how to recover from this disaster. It gives a hopeful scenario.
  3. He was good in maintaining his calmness while confronting a total asshole.
  4. We are all Palestinians now. Why Israeli counterterrorism tactics are showing up in Minnesota https://responsiblestatecraft.org/israel-ice-minneapolis/#:~:text=ICE officers in particular have,the American public%2C including citizens. "ICE and CBP agents have since developed a close relationship with their counterparts in Israel, allowing them to trade notes on tactics and technology. DHS has organized conferences with Israeli security officials, held joint training sessions, and even given grants to Israeli officers in order to do research on areas like countering violent extremism, according to a former senior DHS official."
  5. You are going to be bullied in boot camp. You may want to look at that part of you that is seeking out an environment where it can be bullied even more.
  6. I lived in Mexico for 10 years, and Mexicans know how to roll with the punches. They aren't going anywhere. It's time to bring back Santana's "Migra". Immigration, immigration, bloody immigration, leave me alone Immigration, immigration, bloody immigration, leave me alone I see malice in your eyes, contempt in your heart I see malice in your eyes, contempt in your heart t's time to admit that we all are one voice (we all are the same) Embrace the idea that we are all the same You need me, more than I need you You need me, more than I need you You need me, more than I need you Immigration, immigration, bloody immigration, leave me alone People people let's love one another I know we know how
  7. Bolsen recently put out a video everyone should look at. He said that the reason Americans are so shocked is because they bought the lie and still believe there are good guys that are going to rescue them. But it is all planned and nobody is coming to save you. “You are not watching a broken system. You’re watching the system operate normally”.
  8. Or their big money donors are telling them to stand down. We are on our own. The politicians aren't going to save us.
  9. Is there any evidence that ICE in America is being trained by IDF? "Yes, there are multiple reports, whistleblower accounts, and documented programs indicating that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and officials have participated in training exchanges with Israeli security forces, which include elements of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). These connections are often framed as part of broader U.S.-Israel law enforcement collaborations focused on border security, counterterrorism, and surveillance tactics. While not all ICE personnel undergo such training, evidence points to sponsored trips, seminars, and technology sharing that bring Israeli methods to U.S. operations.Key evidence includes:A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request revealed that the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) sponsored a trip for ICE's then-deputy director to train with the Israeli military in 2018, learning techniques from their occupation and border control practices. jewishvoiceforpeace.org This was part of ongoing exchanges criticized for importing aggressive tactics used in the Palestinian territories to U.S. immigration enforcement.The "Deadly Exchange" campaign by Jewish Voice for Peace and others documents how ICE officers, along with other U.S. law enforcement, have trained with Israeli military and police forces for decades. These programs emphasize stopping "crime before it reaches the U.S." through cooperation, including seminars in Israel funded by groups like the ADL and the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs. deadlyexchange.org +1 Whistleblower Anthony Aguilar, a retired U.S. Army Green Beret, has publicly stated that ICE agents train with Israeli forces and bring back oppressive methods, such as those used in controlling populations, to U.S. streets. He highlighted this in interviews and social media, linking it to tactics observed in ICE operations. facebook.com +2 ICE maintains an office in Tel Aviv as part of its global network for international law enforcement cooperation, which facilitates training and intelligence sharing with Israeli entities, including those tied to the IDF. instagram.com Reports also note ICE's use of Israeli-made spyware, like that from Paragon Solutions, for hacking and surveillance, further tying operational methods to Israeli military tech. theguardian.com +1 Journalistic analyses from outlets like Palestine Chronicle, Truthout, Defector, and Mondoweiss describe how ICE's tactics—such as rapid detentions, high arrest quotas, and minimal accountability—mirror those of the IDF, with direct links through these exchanges. palestinechronicle.com +3 These reports often critique the programs as enabling a "transnational nexus of state control" involving surveillance and violence.On X (formerly Twitter), recent discussions—especially around a January 2026 ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis—frequently reference these training ties, with users claiming IDF influence leads to aggressive U.S. tactics. Some posts allege ex-IDF soldiers are embedded in ICE, though official records don't confirm specific numbers like "121 in Chicago." @grok Critics, including activist groups and some media, argue these programs promote militarized immigration enforcement, while supporters view them as valuable for countering threats like terrorism and human trafficking. Official ICE statements emphasize international partnerships for security but don't detail IDF-specific training. Skeptics on platforms like Reddit call for more granular evidence of what exact tactics are implemented. reddit.com Overall, the evidence stems largely from progressive and Palestinian rights sources, with limited counterarguments in mainstream outlets, though no outright denials from ICE or DHS appear in recent reporting.
  10. The video below is based on the teachings of the 12 century Sufi Saint Al Arabi. His conclusions are basically the same as Advaita Vedanta. But Al Arabi was still a Muslim, considered Islam to be central to his work, and maintained that following Sharia was the only way to gain divine Truth. According to historians, he had no contact with and couldn’t have been influenced by Vedanta. The Hindu Saint Ramakrishna verified that both Islam and Christianity were valid paths to Truth. The negative stuff that we observe are the impurities that have been added by society and politics.
  11. I did a two week plant diet with the shaman in the jungle, which was a minimal diet on rice and beans while drinking various plants for purging, and then doing black ayahausca. As for the trauma, here is a summary: The rubber boom in Peru (roughly 1880s-1910s) brought horrific brutality to indigenous Amazonians, particularly in regions like Putumayo. Here's what happened: Forced labor system - Rubber barons and their companies enslaved indigenous people to tap rubber trees in the jungle. They were forced to meet impossible quotas, working under threat of violence. Systematic atrocities - Those who failed to meet quotas, tried to escape, or resisted faced torture, mutilation, and murder. Women and children were taken as hostages to force men to work. Sexual violence was widespread. Some estimates suggest tens of thousands died. Starvation and disease - Workers were often deliberately underfed, and European diseases decimated communities with no immunity. Cultural destruction - Entire indigenous communities were displaced, destroyed, or scattered. Traditional ways of life were shattered as people were forced into this brutal extraction economy. Key perpetrators - The Peruvian Amazon Company, run by Julio César Arana, became internationally infamous after reports by British consul Roger Casement exposed the atrocities in 1910-1912, sparking international outrage. The trauma from this period had lasting effects on indigenous communities - population collapse, loss of cultural knowledge, ongoing distrust of outsiders, and intergenerational trauma that persists today.
  12. You could immediately improve your mental health by examining the above statement carefully word by word and the internal logic and asking yourself if there is anything there that is true.
  13. I did a plant diet in Peru from a shaman who, when he was young, went deep into the Amazon and lived with an indigenous tribe that lived next door to the uncontacted tribes. An elder shaman there taught him how to use the plant medicines and ayahuasca. I never asked him whether the uncontacted tribes also knew about ayahuasca. The jungle is really amazing. That area has been traumatized by history and the rubber barons.
  14. This reminds me of Sadhguru: "Teachers want to be popular and appear wise, so they answer whatever questions anyone thinks to ask, as if they were teaching the next generation of teachers rather than helping people wake up." Jed McKenna
  15. I prefer the Tantrik teachings and practices of Kashmir Shaivism. Unlike Vedanta which considers the world to be maya or an illusion, Shaivism considers the world to be real and we are here for a purpose. Enlightenment isn’t transcendental, but rather it is a being fully embodied. It is feeling the world without the ego and its defense mechanisms and all the conditioning. Spirituality is not an escape from being human. It is being fully human in this form in this world. The body is not something to be renounced. It is the vehicle to awakening. https://www.tantrailluminated.org/
