What is 'extreme' or 'politicizing' in this case?

If the DOJ prosecuting such horrendous police abuse that results in wrongful death would be a negative for the "vast majority of Americans' explain why?

Don't forget, for so many Republicans/conservatives/goons/idiots, complaining and bitching and moaning about crime is a hot button and a tiresomely predictable go-to tactic. Cities? High crime. Why? Well, gosh, it's CUZ THEYZE ALL RUN BY DEMMURKATS.

So using that metric, opining that the police shouldn't be allowed to break every rule in the book, bust into someone's house, and execute them is obviously a "political" statement. Especially since the victim--oh, sorry, the foul miscreant who was probably guilty of a dozen other crimes anyway--was black. Well, there you have it. Goddamn liberals bitching about black people being executed by the police. Damfool bleeding hearts.

i would argue that holding bad/rogue law enforcement officers accountable is the exact opposite of a huge negative for the vast majority of Americans.

it's actually exactly what is needed and should be applauded by everyone regardless of political affiliations.

people in power being held accountable is what keeps countries strong.

Do you feel that is what is happening. The DOJ is making us stronger? If you do that is fine. We will have to just agree to disagree.

So u think the US Justice system is no better then China or Russia ?
Full tinted by political bias ?

And it’s leaning towards the democrats side ?
I guess abortion ruling from the SC was towards democrats too …

Usually justice condamnation stems from evidences .
U must have some hardcore evidence to claim the judicial system just can bypass evidences to protect political bias .

So which are they , U are aiming too ?

I saw some numbers on what he and his companies raked in. I found the numbers terrifyingly high. I knew you could do well for yourself wallowing in the misery he peddles, but I have certainly been naive about how much money it attracted.

I would estimate Alex Jones nets $25 million a year, and that is a conservative estimate.

What someone may have "made" and what they have in the bank after taxes and legal, work and personal expenses can be 2 very different numbers. If you liquidated everything he had I doubt you could come up with $50M to cover the first 2 lawsuits, forget the accountants estimate of $250M+.

There is definitely a correlation between the 'stronger' regimes being the ones who ignore the rule of law. Might makes right.

Travis McMichael, who fatally shot Ahmaud Arbery, was sentenced Monday to life in prison for committing a federal hate crime. The other two defendants will probably also be sentenced on federal charges today. All three were already found guilty and sentenced in state court. Since the state trials and sentencing happened first, they should all be going to state prison. But the defendants have asked to be sent to federal prison because they don't think they will be safe in state prison. They want the world to be worried about their safety? Damn, it most be tough to go to prison and not be able to chase people down with your pickup truck and shoot them with a shotgun.

Missed this one last month.

Hopefully the operational plan works and we do not see a sudden 'regime change' with then another Nation getting even more benefit from the gold than Uganda does.



Uganda Discovers 31 Million Tons of Gold Ore

Recent exploration surveys in Uganda have led to the discovery of approximately 31 million tons of gold ore deposits, from which an estimated 320,158 tons of refined gold could potentially be extracted, with its value currently standing at $12.8 trillion....

...the country is seeking to attract international gold mining companies and investors, having already licensed Chinese gold mining firm, Wagagai, to start production in the country’s eastern Busia District this year.

The firm has invested $200 million towards the construction of a refining facility and is expected to refine approximately 5,000kg of gold per day in Busia by the end of 2022.

In a bid to overhaul its economy, Uganda’s President, H.E. Yoweri Museveni, has sought to ramp up investment in the country’s mining sector to develop its reserves of copper, iron ore, cobalt, phosphates and gold. Refining gold locally is expected to lead to the generation of 3,000 direct jobs while improving social service deliveries to local communities.

Earlier this year, Uganda’s Parliament enacted a new mining law, pending the President’s approval, that will lead to the creation of a state mining company through which investors will be required to sign a production-sharing agreement, allowing the company to acquire a 15% stake in mining operations within the country....

That doesn’t make any sense .
The market cap value of gold today is around 12 trillions , about the entire gold man ever mined throughout history right ?

And this deposit just equal to the entire amount of gold value existing in the world ????
Something wrong ….

Ya i don't necessarily do anything to verify the story as accurate first. It could be full out propaganda or just entirely false unintentionally.

We will see how this story evolves as more details come out.

There are very few major gold finds these days. The industry has largely been based on improving extraction techniques and taking more out of the existing operations, or prices increasing to such a degree that previously unprofitable finds become profitable.

I think it should be a bigger story that someone suddenly found more gold than there currently is in known circulation? I found a Reuters article that cited the Ugandan claim, so the part where they claim to have found the deposits seems to check out.

so many people lost a big chunk if not all of their "save money" savings.

I heard of a girl that's a friend of a friend that for years has put her savings into bitcoin. it's all gone now, well most of it.

if you make a poll on this site, I would guess maybe 30-50% of all posters lost a lot since crypto was the gto way to invest and save. it was a scam obviously.

I did some research into diamonds, not a lot but know now that they are not as rare as you might think. it's a scam kinda, and they call it the greatest marketing ever by de beers. its published in the biggest marketing magazine. nobody ever knew about diamonds and then it became a must have to marry or engage.

we are getting scammed left and right.

gold must be a very safe way to invest though.
