Ohai Sweetie I was just thinking about you to play ' Dorothy ' in a cypherpunk movie with Jim, CJ and myself. You like Jim and killing so you could be perfect for our " Wizard of Oz ' homage. No speaking required. Let us know when you're available.

I went to see Wizard of Oz as part of a double feature with a Tarzan movie. But I didn't want to see anything else after that. Only other early movie to jolt me like that was ' Hard Days Night ' with the Beatles. That was like an early Parkour movie. Anyway I grew up to be a robotic ax-man so maybe they'll build a statue of me in this town, one day! Wonder if TOTO is a friend of Dorothy's? CJ? This could be a great new C-punk Porn movie. The three musketeer punks do cameo's as a scarcrow, lion and tin-man. We sell autographed pictures. DVD's. Copies of summons.

At its best, the acceptance of war by assassination is a powerful check on the growth and depredations of governments. At its worst, it is a sometimes useful tool to avoiding the needless deaths of innocents, i.e., “collateral damage,” when nations clash..." - John Filiss - from the 1990's Reminds me " All quiet on the Western Front " ...nearly a century old work. “... Kropp on the other hand is a thinker. He proposes that a declaration of war should be a kind of popular festival with entrance-tickets and bands, like a bull fight. Then in the arena the ministers and generals of the two countries, dressed in bathing-drawers and armed with clubs, can have it out on themselves. Whoever survives the country wins. That would be much simpler and more than just this arrangement, where the wrong people do the fighting...” https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/786467-kropp-on-the-other-hand-is-a-thinke… Its just silly to say Hackers alone created the basis for AP

Baradaran, as noted by the Washington Free Beacon, "is an outspoken advocate of reparations for black Americans, both as a means of correcting "white supremacy" and closing the racial wealth gap." Notably, Biden and his running-mate Kamala Harrois (D-CA) ignored the topic of reparations throughout the 2020 election to the point where Baradaran called Harris out on it over Twitter, writing "Dear Kamala, Reparations or go home." Dear Kamala, Reparations or go home. — Mehrsa Baradaran (@MehrsaBaradaran) June 28, 2019 In December 2019, she wrote during the Democratic primaries that "Biden just dodged that reparations question like a much nimbler and younger man." Biden just dodged that reparations question like a much nimbler and younger man. — Mehrsa Baradaran (@MehrsaBaradaran) December 20, 2019 More via the Washington Free Beacon (emphasis ours): In her 2017 book The Color of Money: Black Banks and the Racial Wealth Gap, Baradaran argues that closing the racial wealth gap requires acknowledging past wrongs and providing compensation for damages. "A reparations program could take many forms from simple cash payments or baby bonds to more complex schemes such as subsidized college tuition, basic income, housing vouchers, or subsidized mortgage credit," she writes. Baradaran's book inspired Netflix to donate $100 million to organizations that "support Black communities." Before joining Biden's transition team, Baradaran helped Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.), and former South Bend mayor Pete Buttigieg on policy proposals to address the racial wealth gap. Biden, who left reparations out of his racial equity plan, said he would study the issue. "[Biden] believes that we should gather the data necessary to have an informed conversation about reparations, but he has not endorsed a specific bill," a spokeswoman said during the campaign. Harris has been similarly noncommittal. "When you are talking about the years and years and years of trauma that were experienced because of slavery, because of Jim Crow and because of all that we have seen in terms of institutional and legal discrimination and racism, this is very real and it needs to be studied," she said during a CNN town hall in April 2019. * * * Reparations could carry an estimated $17 trillion price tag, according to a 2019 analysis from the House Judiciary Committee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties.
