    Speaking as a Jew: ADL is NOT a Jewish organization. It is an ultra-left activist org that pushes radical transgenderism, border erasure, police dismantlement, and the demolition of free speechdeploying rank slander, bullying and character assassination to achieve its aims.

    These views and tactics are expressly contrary to sacred Jewish and biblical teaching. When justly criticized, ADL and its defenders falsely claim anti-Semitism, thereby diminishing all past and present victims of anti-Semitism.

    In fact, conflating criticism of ADL with criticism of Jews is itself an anti-Semitic trope.

    Bottom line: ADL is a disreputable organization that has gravely undermined Jewish interests and is worthy of the strongest condemnation.

        Yep. Also follow that trail to the Trump family.

        Chinese investment/involvement in Twitter is also highly concerning.

        Everyone takes the money. Who cares about national security?

        Total corruption.

          I dont know anything about the alleged Chinese involvement in Twitter, but you know what else seems pretty corrupt? The Chinese paying millions of dollars to a crackhead with no specific marketable skills for access to his vice president father.

              What they get: As part of the deal, anyone who invested $250 million or more gets special access to confidential company information. But giving that privilege to foreign investors is raising flags with Biden and U.S. officials. Of particular interest is whether that includes access to personal data about Twitters users since several of the entities are entwined with governments that have a history of cracking down on dissidents on Twitter and other online platforms.

    [link=https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/09/07/ukraine-starlink-musk-biography/] Elon Musk cut Starlink in middle of Ukraine attack ..[/h3] [/link]
    Musk cut internet to Ukraines military as it was attacking Russian fleet[/h1]  

    New details of the previously reported incident underscore how critical SpaceX has become to the U.S. government[/h2] [/h3]
    SpaceX started providing Starlink internet service to Ukraine after Russias invasion, creating a lifeline for the country when its communications systems had largely been knocked out. But according to Isaacsons book, Musk grew concerned about Ukraines military using them for offensive purposes, [link=https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/07/politics/elon-musk-biography-walter-isaacson-ukraine-starlink/index.html]according to the CNN report[/link].
     

    How am I in this war? Musk asked, according to Isaacson. Starlink was not meant to be involved in wars. It was so people can watch Netflix and chill and get online for school and do peaceful things, not drone strikes.

     
    Since reports surfaced of SpaceX shutting off satellite communication in Ukraine last year, the Pentagon has granted SpaceX a contract. The details of the contract are unknown on Thursday Pentagon spokesman Jeff Jurgenson declined to say more due to the critical nature of these systems. But Weeden said placing Starlink under contract should allow the Pentagon more control and possibly prevent the service from being suddenly shut off again.
     

    That is the balance that the Defense Department has to grapple with as it focuses on this commercial technology: Is it losing control in some way? Weeden said. But the government is not helpless and has ways to rein companies in: You can address a lot of those concerns through contracting mechanism or other legal agreements, he said.

      Mykhailo Podolyak. Adviser to the Head of the Office of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy:

      Sometimes a mistake is much more than just a mistake. By not allowing Ukrainian drones to destroy part of the Russian military (!) fleet via [link=https://twitter.com/hashtag/Starlink?src=hashtag_click]#Starlink[/link] interference, [link=https://twitter.com/elonmusk]@elonmusk[/link]
      allowed this fleet to fire Kalibr missiles at Ukrainian cities. As a result, civilians, children are being killed. This is the price of a cocktail of ignorance and big ego. However, the question still remains: why do some people so desperately want to defend war criminals and their desire to commit murder? And do they now realize that they are committing evil and encouraging evil?
