Just know  that project veritas videos are typically plagued with a large amount of cuts and edits to make things look worse then they actually do. Not saying that this is the case in this video, or that it should take away from the effects of what is going on -- because it is pretty wild to think about this.

But remember that everyone has a bias and there is a reason for everyone sharing what they do.

Imagine what Tucker and the rest of the people at fox say about Clinton (and Dems) behind the scenes.

Project Veritas does great work. The concept of bias is fair. What is not fair is this idea that they deceptively edit videos. This is something dreamed up as damage control after abortion clinics got caught laughing about how profitable selling baby meat is, and they needed something, ANYTHING  to distract from the revelations. This concept that they deceptively edit videos is just regurgitation of establishment media talking points.

If you say so. The leftist French are especially retarded, so I wouldn't be surprised but I have my doubts. So do you ask for a pay stub before defending yourself from attackers? The correct answer is to defend yourself, period. We all know the left advocates proactive violence though, and that's what this survey is asking, so your cute little word games are irrelevant.

Oh so you have to read between the lines in a poll? That tells a lot of the quality of the poll.

So in fact when the question is, as stated in your source, "is the use of violence against rich people justified?" the real question is "is the use of PROACTIVE violence and not in a case of seld defense against rich people justified?"

Ok great, there is no way that such a shitty question can change the results of course.

I have an idea, why bothering with questions? Next time juste say "on a poll of myself, 100% liberals eat babies for breakfast".

It will be easier.

There is no "reading between the lines", this is self evident. If you are under violent attack, you don't stop to check the assailant's wallet first before defending yourself, thus your premise of self defense is totally asinine. Additionally Socialists and Communists LOVE redefining words to suit their purposes at any given time, such as words being "violence" or "hoarding wealth" being "violence".

For example:

^Its not proactive.  Excessive wealth and hoarding is already a form of violence.  Mitigating that is defense of said violence.

There is no mystery here. This poll demonstrates Socialists are proponents of proactive violence based on their warped ideology and mental illness. This is literally indistinguishable from terrorism, and falls well within the federal legal definition of terrorism.

I have seen some interesting theories about this situation floating about the interwebs. People  have long suspected that many of these fires were cased by or exacerbated by arson. In theory, the poorly maintained power lines could be used as cover for the arson and excused away that way. In a power outage though, how do you explain the cause of the fires? The speculation is this power outage was intended to demonstrate that it is in fact arson and not the power lines causing most if not all of these fires.

I spoke to @ChiNgad0r and cryptoji hasn't replied to him since over a month. Him replying to one translator and not posting on this thread and talking to ChiNgad0r doesn't seem right. If he is honest and wants to pay everyone, he needs to reply here and since he has already received the money from the project, why this delay then? He has to clear dues of some other projects too and till he doesn't fulfill his commitment, I can't trust him.

I would like to remind cryptoji that dropping of a flag requires not only full restitution to all harmed parties, but ALSO forgiveness from EVERY harmed party. This whole game where you don't address the community and do quiet backroom deals is not convincing anyone you deserve forgiveness. You aren't going to be allowed to just quietly slink away from this. Your silence speaks volumes.

Given that there was no response from him, the comments are unnecessary.

That is the whole point of making the comment, because he is not making any public statements.

4. 25 Legendary TECSHARE (BPIP)
I had to LOL at this for personal reasons.  He and I haven't exactly had the warmest, coziest relationship on the forum but I always thought he would have been good for the Chipmixer campaign.  Not because I agree with his posts, but he's certainly not a shitposter and his posts do get a lot of views.  Chipmixer would thus probably get their money's worth by having him in the campaign--but, not my decision.  

I also always thought that TECSHARE would have been on the wealthier side since he's been into bitcoin since the early days and wouldn't need to be in a campaign like Yobit's.  Funny the assumptions you can make about people on the internet, eh?

Apparently I am "too controversial" to advertise a mixer and gambling website. Do I need to join a campaign? No, but getting paid for something I am doing anyway is a no brainer.

On a side note...

If any of you have looked at any social media platforms (based outside of China) you will notice that they are being flooded with Winnie the Pooh and Tienamen Square memes. I think the CCP overplayed their hand regarding the recent NBA and South Park issues. Again, a brilliant satirical take down by Trey Parker and Matt Stone.

The world is finally collectively saying "CHINA IS ASSHOE!", and it is about time. God bless the people of China and of Hong Kong, and fuck the CCP.






american billionaires, have modified china and added nazi kapitalism to it, thats the problem.

That's pretty funny. You are kind of right, but not in the way you think. Communism itself was the creation of European and US bankers to serve as an antithesis to capitalism and serve as a form of controlled opposition.

I don't care if it is $1, there is an inherent conflict of interest in an entity recieving federal support spending that money on political campaigns and lobbying.
Tons of businesses, and individuals receive money from the federal government.  You think they should have to wave their right to contribute to a political campaign or lobby congress?

Should CVS, Walgreens, and every other pharmacy all be forbidden from spending money on lobbying because they accept Medicaid to fill prescriptions?

Should the NRA be forbidden because they are paid by the government to train law enforcement officers, rent out shooting ranges to federal agencies, and have a 10 year $40k/year grant from Fish and Wild Life Services?

What about any hotel, Restaurant, or store where a federal employee spends money for their job and uses government money?

What about a student that receives a federal grant for tuition?  Should they be allowed to donate $1 to a campaign?



How the heck do you get that from what I said. No they shouldn't be doing more abortions.   I'm amazed that 27% of their expenses are spent on helping people shirk their personal responsibly, and enabling reckless behavior, or a non-necessity.

Teach them to swallow, and PP can cut 27% of their bottom line  
I get that their "Federal Funding" is mostly Medicaid. But it's still taxpayer money used to correct an issue that so bribe created themselves.

Oh, you can't afford birth control pills? Then don't screw. Make him pull out. Or take it in the butt.
Gee, how'd you get that STD?  

Not my problem.

I think this is a ridiculous argument.  We'll have to agree to disagree.

Actually, I think barring anyone receiving federal funds from contributing to campaigns or lobbying would be great for this country. The current system is an incestuous revolving door of government going to industry and back again, each step along the way finding new and creative ways to drain the US citizenry of their hard earned tax dollars. Such a policy would foster not only independence but create a clear line of delineation  preventing what essentially amounts to buying votes with federal funds. That said, this will never happen for obvious reasons.

Now  back to reality, Planned Parenthood also receives $50 to $60 million dollars a year under Title X grants, which is far different than Medicaid reimbursements. Speaking of Medicaid reimbursements, The Hyde Amendment only restricts federal funds for being directly used for abortions. States are still using taxpayer dollars to fund abortions under Medicaid. Furthermore, the federal funds, tho restricted from being used directly for abortions also frees up money that is indirectly used for abortions or to advocate for abortion for example in the form of payroll, facilities, lobbying, and campaign contributions.

Regarding PopoJeff, why is this a ridiculous argument? A refutation without substantiation is a very low form of debate. People object to taxpayer funds being used to subsidize people's bad life choices, and rightfully so. How is this argument flawed?

"Neglect, a desire to advance not public safety but profits."

I was never sure you had no idea what communism was until now.  All this time I thought you were making a nuanced argument that involved mental gymnastics of connecting communism to the USSR/china/north korea to modern day leftists but now that you bring capitalist california into that realm, it turns out I was giving you too much credit. 

tecshare communism= any bad feature in society. 


This is a common tactic you use any time your retarded communist or socialist policies fail, you attribute the failure to capitalism and call for more of the same that caused the problem to begin with. What you are advocating for is the same as what happened in the USSR/China/North Korea, it is just the first steps a la Fabianism. The results will be the same. For fucks sake California even legalized openly Communist parties and illegal aliens running their government. If any state in the union is communist it is California.
3134  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Democrats are moving the goal posts, shifting from Russia to Racism on: October 14, 2019, 08:25:34 AM
It's total services, not funds.  I can't find a break down of how much is actually spent on each - but it seems pretty clear that the vast majority are from out of pocket or insured patients.  You're right though, the numbers are a bit deceiving.  I thought it was total money spent, but it's actually total services.  


Claiming they are taking federal funds and turning around and using it for lobbying and campaigning isn't accurate though.  Most of the money they receive from the federal government is a reimbursement for treating patients with Medicaid (over 75%) and the rest goes towards discounts for low income patients without insurance.

In 2018 they received:

563.8m from federal government
365.7m from private insurance companies and patients paying out of picket
413.6m in private donations

They only made $533,000 in campaign contributions (all democrats though) and spent $1.2m in lobbying. That's less than 0.002 % of their total revenue of which only 34% is federal.


Here are Planned Parenthoods financials for 2019:

I don't care if it is $1, there is an inherent conflict of interest in an entity recieving federal support spending that money on political campaigns and lobbying. They support candidates, they hand out more taxpayer dollars to them knowing full well it will be kicked back to their own campaigns. This is a defacto subsidization of the Democrat party with taxpayer money.
3135  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Democrats are moving the goal posts, shifting from Russia to Racism on: October 14, 2019, 04:28:20 AM
The left screamed that defunding PP would be bad for women somehow.  They can correct their own issues by not letting men cum in them.
And PP isn't hurting for money, they just announced a $45mil campaign to attack Republicans.

I might be off on a couple details but pretty sure the current laws (the Hyde Act mainly) don't allow for federal funding to cover abortions unless it's to save the womans life, or due to incest or rape.  And no, you can't just tell the doctor "I was raped".  You have to report it to the police and then have Medicaid send the waiver to planned parent hood at least 48 hours before the abortion.

Planned parenthood 'federal funding' is just another way of saying they accept patients with Medicaid (to be on Medicaid you can't make more than ~$17k a year) and offer a discount to Women not on Medicaid that don't have private insurance coverage.

I can't find any exact data.  But it seems like federally funded abortions are extremely rare.  Some doctors have said that in most cases women choose not to report it and just pay for the abortion or have their rapists/family members child.  TECSHARE would probably point out that some of them were probably lying to try and get a free abortion from his tax dollars, and he'd probably be right.   In most of these cases though "not letting men cum in them" wouldn't "correct their own issues".

The vast majority of abortions at Planned Parenthood are paid for out of pocket or through private health insurance, and abortions make up less than 4% of PP total services.  You could argue that they likely prevent far more abortions than they give.  (They also give out free condoms)

Planned Parenthood Services for 2017:

48.7% STD Testing
27.1% Contraception
13.4% Other Women's Health Services
6.3% Cancer Screening and Prevention
3.4% Abortion Services
1.1% Other Services


I get where youre coming from..  but where do you think think anyone is trying to restrict women's uteruses?  
   Some far right folks can certainly be ani-abortion, but the current R administration has no qualms with abortion at the moment.

I think "all abortion should be illegal no matter what" crowd is a lot bigger than you think.

In 2019 (a few months after Kavanaugh was sworn in)13 states passed anti-abortion laws, knowing full well that they would be sued for passing an illegal law in hopes that the supreme court would hear the case and overrule roe v wade.  It's been decades since this was attempted.  With the make up of the Supreme Court, it's entirely possible it works.  They weren't just bible belt states either.  North Dakota, Ohio, Indiana all took a shot.

The most extreme law was passed in Alabama, it would make abortion due to incest or rape illegal.

Are those percentages services used or funds used? The difference is very significant. Additionally as was already pointed out, Planned Parenthood is using federal funds to turn right around and contribute to political campaigns and lobbying. This needs to end.

You have made your points months ago (several red flags posted by you):

Very kind of you to speak for me. However my point is this:

I would (and have) started threads about it, but of course any time I do the gnashing of the teeth, crying, and wailing from individuals such as yourself is never ending preventing any productive discussion. It is all part of the group effort to silence anyone criticizing the made men, and unless you get on your knees by ignoring the malfeasance of the other made men, then you are the them in the us vs them.

I like the idea especially if it involves transparency. So basically what you want is that aside from the reference link given in the flag by the scam accuser you also want the accused/accuser to have an option to link in a self moderated thread for the discussion the said flag? I really like the main point of the suggestion but I think the main flaw here is that the thread being a self-moderated one being handled by either the accused and the accuser, in my opinion neither one of them nor the ones who have already supported and opposed the flag should be handling the self-moderated thread. It's either another member or any of the mods create the self-moderated thread or not make the thread self-moderated at all to remove any kind of abuse once the second thread is linked to the flag. If the admin can create a way to automatically create another thread for logs and discussions once the flag is created then this would be of great convenience for both of the parties.

Why shouldn't they be handling the self moderated threads? Who better to manage them than the directly interested parties? Free uncensored discussion can still take place in the primary thread. IMO having a supposedly disinterested 3rd party controlling the discussion can be just as bad if not worse. Additionally who wants to dedicate that much time to something that doesn't directly interest them? What even motivates them to do a thorough job? The overflowing gratitude of the community? LOL. It would be a time intensive and thankless job. There is no reason to be so obsessed over bias, just expect it, account for it, and make your own decisions, because it is never going away.

That's not what's happening at all. The tweet that your entire "news article" is based around is showing numbers that correspond to a different poll, pretending they are the numbers corresponding to the latest poll.

The title of the article you linked is this:
