#264It's insane the power and influence Israelis have. In the US it's blatant, from the insane amounts of money and weaponry sent to Israel (why are american taxpayers subsidizing Israel exactly? It's not like they are neither poor nor US owes them) to the recent events in the middle east. But even in Europe. Here in Italy the coalition government has multiple high profile politicians that just happen to be shareholders…

Europeans give too much value to their sympathies. Given that it's now clear to anyone that will open their eyes that there is no international law, Europe ends up looking like an old grandpa yelling at the clouds, powerless to actually do something. Sympathies are not enough.
To many fellow Europeans, the “old grandpa shouting at the clouds” is perceived to be some other entity.
¿Por qué no los dos?
There are an awful lot of old men yelling at clouds in power across the world right now.

#268"Black Cube" - wonder what they're going for there. Maybe "Sinister Obelisk" was taken.

They wanted everyone to know they are the bad guys, just like Black Rock.
Black Rock Black Stone... Maybe even Black Dodecahedron someday
Blackstone is actually a cleverly chosen name after the founders themselves - Steve Schwarzmann and Peter Peterson.

How do you square your opinion with multiple NoKings days at the top of the list of largest protests in US history? Perhaps that there are mini demonstrations (as you have described) every day is a sign that the frustration is more persistent.
