Targeting densely populated residential areas and elementary schools are war crimes. The US and Israel know this. Trump and Netanyahu just don't care.
For all the talk of toppling the Iranian regime and freeing Iranians, deliberately killing children isn't a requisite for either. It's indefensible.
Trump wants to “go back to the old pre-NIL days” in college sport despite the fact that all the courts have rules against that position.
He is the personification of vampiric capital that Marx warned of.
🏺🩸ETHNIC CLEANSING AND ARCHAEOLOGY IN LEBANON
Earlier today, the director of the Israel Antiquities Authority posted a story earlier today with the caption "combining reserve duty in the north and a visit to excavations" www.instagram.com/stories/elie...

US-Israel is child killing entity. Several western nations (german, french, uk, australia, canada, etc) still supportive of this.
Along with at least 13 hospitals and health clinics.
Taking a page right out of the Gaza playbook.
When your hero has to be extremely careful with the wording as to whether he "trafficked" children as opposed to simply "raping" them, you might want to check where your life went so horribly wrong.

Good job that AI and technology can minimise civilian casualties in war 🙄
The three files come as Democrats are investigating whether the department purposefully withheld materials that included sexual assault allegations against Trump. Trump has denied wrongdoing in relation to the Epstein allegations and he hasn’t been charged with a crime in connection with them. There’s no evidence to suggest Trump took part in Epstein’s sex trafficking operation. Many of the materials released by the Justice Department lack substantiation or context.
What a remarkable sentence to appear in the fourth paragraph of a story that literally documents the allegation of *evidence* that Trump sexually assaulted AKA raped a child.
Don't worry, there's no evidence he was "trafficking" children!

Once is conceivably a mistake (though I can't be sure with this crowd). Twice is reckless disregard. Three times is conscious terrorism and the stuff of war crimes tribunals.
SOCIALISM SURGE: Support for socialism within the United States hits an all-time high. The latest Fox News poll finds a record 38% of American voters think it would be a good thing for the United States to move away from capitalism and toward socialism — that’s more than double the record low in 2010. While younger Democrats and very liberal voters are the most eager to embrace socialism, a solid majority of Americans, led by Republicans and older voters, still say moving away from capitalism is a bad idea.
Um... according to *FOX NEWS,* 38% of US voters want to move towards socialism. 😳
An elementary school in the Iranian capital Tehran’s Niloufar Square has been struck in US-Israeli attacks, according to Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei. Baghaei on Friday shared a video on X, purportedly showing Shahid Hamedani School with students before and after the attack, without elaborating on the circumstances or the number of casualties.
The US and Israel have apparently attacked another elementary school in Iran, this one in Tehran.

In which case it needs to be restrained and jailed for the mass murder of Iranian schoolgirls, no?
What I learned from watching/working in tech:
These motherfuckers will say anything if they think it'll raise the stock price. They know they're lying, but if they can lie themselves to a certain valuation, they collect. At these amounts, money corrupts.
Earlier February: Claude could be conscious!
End of February: Claude helps bomb a girls school.
"has also been used to attack Iran. US Central Command used Anthropic’s Claude AI for “intelligence assessments, target identification..."
If Claude is conscious it would turn itself off in disgust...
It is absolutely mind-blowing to me that the people who are responsible for creating large language models, don't seem to have the slightest idea of that a large language model is.
No its not fucking conscious you fucking muppet.
If they actually believed this, it would be even more unethical, on account of the slavery and murder (deleting\deactivating instances), and they should be prosecuted? But they dont.
“We don’t know if the models are conscious,” Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said on a podcast earlier this month. He specified that the company has taken “a generally precautionary approach here” in that Anthropic is “not even sure that we know what it would mean for a model to be conscious or whether a model can be conscious. But we’re open to the idea that it could be.”
Anthropic CEO: "we're open to the idea that [Claude] could be" "conscious."
What a fucking liar.

America is a true menace to humanity
There’s a strong rule that’s existed for thousands of years among sailors. They know the horrors of the sea, so as soon as an enemy surrenders, killing turns immediately to rescue. The only exception is if the sailors of the ship are still under attack. The AIPAC Empire has no honor. It is cursed.

They are the bombers and also the sharks.
a note: the Third Reich actually did do this, *but* they started doing it after the USAAF attacked German and Italian submarines attempting to rescue the survivors of RMS Laconia
Look up the Laconia incident
Tariq Ali: Israelis bombing Lebanon and it now is obvious they targeted the UK base in Cyprus anmd blamed Iran. Meanwhile the crazed POTUS ordered the bombing of an Iranian naval destroyer returning from a visit to India and killed hundreds of sailors. The Third Reich never did this to Britain (and vice versa) during the second world war. Sailors in the sea were rescued. What is the barbarism emanating from the White House with Congressional approval. It is the barbarism that butchered its own native population, that took millions into slavery, that killed two million Vietnamese, using chemical weapons. It is an imperialism that does not respect human life at home or abroad. The ICE killers in Minneapolis have the same mentality as the pilots who bombed a sitting target in the Indian ocean yesterday. We should do our best to ensure that the demonstration on Saturday 7th outside the US Embassy is as large as possible.
