Brett Cooper Let’s Talk About Right-Wing Cancel Culture

Brett Cooper makes an excellent point. This is the Whitney Cummings clip Brett refers to. The 2024 New Years roast. 

Teamsters union prepares for possible Costco strike

OPB is reporting that "Washington state Costco workers who are part of the Teamsters union could go on strike as soon as this Saturday if a new contract is not reached." 

"Union members have been in negotiations with the wholesale food distributor for weeks, but their current contract is set to expire on Friday at midnight. The contract affects 18,000 Costco union members nationwide." (Out of 219,000 - 8.2% of US employees, 0% of Canadian employees)

"Costo union members are seeking better wages, retirement and health care benefits, and seniority rights for workers when choosing shifts, vacations and bidding for jobs, among other things. Representatives for the Teamsters declined an interview request, citing ongoing contract negotiations."

Normally I'd just keep my mouth shut about this but since I have worked for Costco for coming up to 18 years and since I have a whole lot of experience with trade unions, I will speak on this matter. The primary thing I have to say is beware of pride.

Teamsters is a business Union. Better than most. They don't have a history of being greedy. They have a history of being sensible and effective. 

Costco has a long-standing history of being a good employer that treats their employees well. I can attest to that fact. That's why my location isn't Unionized. We don't need one. We don't have a contract we have an agreement. 

It's something the Company says it's willing to give their employees. At first I thought the idea was a bit humorous but I actually much prefer it. If you don't like the agreement work somewhere else. Costco matches other employers to maintain a reliable workforce. As an employee I really like not having to fight out a fair contract. I enjoy the stability of not having to worry about a strike. It's awesome. Take if from a long time employee of Canada Post. 

Candace Post is a very different kind of employer. They're as*holes. As a result their Union, CUPW is extreme. That's why they can't get anything done. That's also why they aren't making a profit any more. Letter carriers would have been better off represented by LCUC or Teamsters. CUPW are dinosaurs who don't understand how outside delivery works and are unable to comprehend the word innovation.

In contrast Cosco is always innovating. They try new things to see what works best and take feedback from the employees if it isn't working. Canada Post would never take feedback from the employees. They always say it's my way or the highway even when the idea is completely impractical. 

Greed applies to everyone - employers, unions and employees. A greedy corporation that exploits it's employees does not have a stable workforce. A greedy union becomes extinct. A greedy employee ends up unemployed. Geed applies to all of us. 

This past week the management at my workplace has been posting results from our new proposed agreement. We will get a dollar an hour raise for each year. It's pretty obvious we got that because of the Teamster's threat of a strike. Thank you very much. Now is the time for the Teamsters to stay at the negotiating table and not call a full strike yet. 

The CEO of Costco produced a video message talking about the strike and I thought he was very fair. Costco isn't going to lock out the Union. The Teamsters would be wise to stay at the table with the possibility of a strike in the balance. 

Teamsters would be wise not to get greedy. If they do, they'll lose their Costco locals. When the contract expires, you can go on strike but you can also decertify a Union. 

"In the United States, employees can decertify a union after a contract expires by filing a petition with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). The NLRB will then hold a secret ballot election to determine if the union should be removed as the bargaining representative." You only need 30% to sign a petition to trigger a decertify referendum. Then it's just 51% to decertify. 

Teamsters would be wise to be reasonable. If they are, other industries would see that and call upon them to organize their workplaces. I'm not referring to other Costco locations. I'm referring to other workplaces where the employers are greedy and exploit their workers. 

When I look at my wages and benefits in Canada, I have no need or desire to go on strike. Strike for what? More money? More holidays? Better benefits? I'm happy with all of the above. That means I have no need to join a Union and pay union dues. I have no desire to change my peaceful workplace into a place of conflict and strife. The Union mentality changes the atmosphere completely. 

Instead of an employee agreement we have a list of demands. That concept in itself is abrasive. The thought of my workplace unionizing gave me a lot of anxiety. I don't want to do that again. Before I worked at Canada Post I did some construction. It was a large commercial company but it was nonunion. There was a Union shop down the street and because of that my employer came close to matching their wages and benefits. I benefited from the union down the street without belong to a union.

I realize the whole union debate can get very heated. People have a right to join a Union if they choose. However, we just saw what Amazon did to their Quebec workers who joined  a Union. Amazon is not a good employer. Costco is. 

So again, my advice to Teamsters is don't get greedy. It's not about you. If you can be reasonable and sensible, you will be able to expand into other industries. If you get too greedy you'll become extinct like many of the other dinosaur unions. 

One of the reasons Costco does so well is because they hire from within. Ron Vachris, the current CEO of Costco started off as a forklift driver. That means he knows the job because he's done it. Other industries could benefit from that model.

In other news, Trump is pressuring Costco do get rid of it's diversity workplace policy. Costco said no so the Latino and the Black community are having shop ins supporting Costco as a fair employer. Rev Al Sharpton led the shop in.

Costco's profit Margin

We also need to discuss Costco's profit margin. We used to have weekly meetings that would discuss sales as well as weight and cube of the trailers we ship. We always hear sales are up, sales are up which is a good thing. That means job security. There's no job security without profit. 

There are three things to remember. Costco has a very narrow profit margin. Costco doesn't have much of a mark up on the products it sells. That's why they have to sell in volume. The reports we would hear always mentioned sales in the millions. When hearing that, people could easily think Costo's rich but that's not the case. Total sales is not total profit. Not at all. 

Since Costco's mark up is so small, they need to sell a lot of product to make a profit. That's why Costco is so organized at turning over a large amount of product. If they don't, there's no profit. Sometimes we hear people say Costco is a big company, they can afford it. Costco is a big company. They employ a lot of people. A dollar an hour raise for all the employees company wide is a huge cost. In the real world there's a fine balance between labour costs and profit. 

Shipping products is expensive. Sometimes products are damaged during shipping. Since there is such a small mark up on the products Costco sells, they have to sell a lot of product to pay for the product damaged in shipping. Shipping costs, labours costs, fuel cost, everything is in a very delicate balance. 

A strike would instantly break that balance. If Costco loses money during a strike, then there's no money for raises. The managers at Canada Post are maniacs. They didn't care about a prolonged strike because they operate at a loss. A bigger loss just gives them an excuse to shut it down and let nonunion contractors do the work. Private sector companies can't operate that way. A prolonged strike would put them out of business.

Teamsters understand this. They are a private sector union. They are used to making a profit. The other thing we have to remember is that we're not brain surgeons here. We have to be honest with ourselves and ask how much profit does the work that I do make? If we're not productive then maybe we better just take what they give us before we destroy a good thing. 

There's a lot of hate in the world right now. People are hurting and people have become hateful. They want to find someone to blame. Justin Trudeau and Jagmeet Singh want us to kick the cat. They want us to blame the grocery stores for the mass inflation. That's what they call displaced aggression. 

The skyrocketing inflation was Justin Trudeau and Jagmeet Singh's fault. Their Fake environmentalism caused the fuel shortage and the rise in the price of gas at the pumps. That raises the cost of groceries and everything else we buy in stores because it all takes fuel to transport it to the store. 

So the World Economic Forum puppets want us all to get mad at the Grocery store owners not them. It's just another circus side show. I did notice that while we were seeing skyrocketing inflation a flat of fresh chicken was up to $50. Now that same flat at Costco is back down to $25. All the meat and chicken at Costco is very fairly priced. Since Costco has passed those savings on to the members, that makes the profit margin tighter. Costco is a great company. Don't destroy it by getting greedy. 

Three charged in Kelowna Kidnapping

Infotel is reporting that "A 55-year-old Kelowna man with no criminal record, a 36-year-old once jailed for domestic violence and a 34-year-old armed robber, have all been charged in relation to an armed kidnapping in Kelowna."

"Daniel Gilles Archambault, 36, David Apollo Sheremeto, 55, and Zackary Jard Purdy, 34, are all facing multiple charges for the armed kidnapping of Joshua Marsh."

"Precise details of what is alleged to have taken place aren't yet known, but the charges say the three men violently assaulted March and pointed handguns at him while kidnapping him."

"Purdy is also charged with firing a shot. In 2013, Purdy was accused of being the ringleader in a kidnapping in Ponoka, Alberta, over a $200 drug debt, according to local media."

The Political wrecking ball of extremism

Penguin Random House just sent me another book on organized crime to review and I still haven't reviewed the last one they sent so I better get on that. 

However, before I do, I just want to summarize the extremism on both sides we've seen before I move on. 

As I keep repeating Trump has done some awesome things but he has also done some crazy things and we need to recognize that. As Joel Skousen pointed out, historically Trump was never a Conservative. He was a businessman with friends like Hillary Clinton which as we all saw went bad.

I have referred to the changing political tide to a pendulum on a clock that swings back and forth from left to right. Extreme left and extreme right are the same. 

Conservative really means moderate. To dress conservatively would mean to dress modestly. So the real definition of conservative is one who avoids extremism. 

This last political cycle has been extreme. The left has been so far left and the right has been so far right, they're both like a Miley Cyrus wrecking ball video. Trump is riding that wrecking ball right into the realms of intergalactic space. 

Invading Greenland and insisting Canada become a State is mentally deranged and the right wing podcasters who can't see that are part of a cult. The left used to say MAGA was a cult and I rejected that. However, if you can't admit that Trump's threat to use military force to take Greenland or blackmail Canada into becoming a state is crazy, then you're part of a cult. There's no free thinking in it. We all saw the left was a cult. 

It was blind and extreme. So today's analogy portrays the left wing extremists and the right wing extremists as two wrecking balls both working for the WEF to destroy our society so they can create order amidst the chaos. Their order with their rules which doesn't include civil liberty or property rights.

Everyone is talking about Canada's response to Trump's tariffs. My response is this: no response. Start trading with other countries instead. Justin Trudeau and Doug Ford have lost their mind. They're still pushing the WEF Agenda of creating an energy crisis to cause mass inflation. 

Mark Carney is another WEF zombie. He's more shrewd than Chrystia Freeland but he has the same agenda. Doug Ford says Alberta should put Canada first and consider a ban on Alberta oil to the US in response to Trump's tariffs. That is criminally insane. First, it punishes us not them by reducing our revenue. Second it will bring BC to a grinding halt with empty grocery stores and a national emergency like we have never seen. 

BC sends unrefined Alberta oil to the US and buys refined oil back from the US. If we stop sending the US refined Alberta oil, BC is completely cut off. There's no gas at the pumps and no food in the grocery stores. That would be a very bad idea. We need to build a refinery in BC. That's obvious.

As I previously said Canada putting tariffs on US food imports in retaliation to Trump's tariffs would be a very bad idea. It would punish Canadian consumers by raising the price of food more than it already is and it would punish American farmers which is exactly what the WEF wants. The WEF attacks farming to create world food shortages.

We could put tariffs on American cars, trucks, boats and motorcycles. That would make America's economy suffer. But why would we want to do that?  We're mad at Trump not them. So my advice is do nothing. Just trade with other countries instead and weather the storm. Four years and he's out. 

Balancing the extremes between the left and right is called equilibrium. Also known as enlightenment. The WEF push the extremes to justify their agenda. Don't be fooled by the circus. 

Selena Gomez and Vanilla Ice: Dialing back the hate

This is Sad 💔 Florida man who voted for Trump wants to work something out with Donald Trump after ICE snatched up his wife & deported her back to Venezuela while she was in the process of getting her papers done. "Let's work something out, please man let me keep my wife, she… pic.twitter.com/XDOECHRvks

Trump deported 200 Colombians. None had criminal records

They were mistreated. There have been 475 deportation flights to Colombia over the last five years. Brazilians also mistreated.

This is a cautionary tale. Yesterday my subscription feed on YouTube was full of podcasters trashing Selena Gomez for posting a video crying about deportations. This is getting a little bit concerning. The narrative claims that ICE is going after rapists and gang members who are in the country illegally. 

Are you telling me that up until now if an illegal alien was convicted of rape or some other serious crime they weren't deported? I find that hard to believe. Even under Biden I read stories of illegal aliens getting deported for murder only to come back into the country illegally. The problem was the border.

Securing the border is one thing, hunting down every illegal alien working to provide for their family is another. First up the Hodge Twins mock Selena Gomez for crying over rapists and gang members. Hold on a second. We don't know who she's crying for. It might be someone she knows. A father taken away from his children who now have nothing to eat. 

NBC is reporting that " Immigration authorities made close to 1,200 arrests in just one day, and nearly half of those detained don't have criminal records, according to a senior Trump administration official." That concerns me.

So they're not all rapists and gang members. 6AK_TV reposted this video on X about a Florida man who voted for Trump. His wife was snatched by ICE along with two construction workers. 

His wife had a court date set for her immigration papers. Now she can't attend the hearing. Remember all those Latinos for Trump Town Halls? Hard working Latinos who hoped for a better economy under Trump. They voted for him.

There are a lot of Latinos in LA who work in construction for very low wages. They also pick fruit. They take the jobs no one else wants. So now the cost of building housing is going to go up and the price of California fruit is going to go up.

We are witnessing more extremism from one extreme to the other. Wide open borders letting people waltz right in without criminal record checks demanding free food and free housing. Then we have the other extreme. Hunting down all illegals working under the table to feed their family. 

I do not want Canada to be like that. America is so extreme. Why don't we first secure the border and stop letting everyone waltz right in without a criminal record check. 

That's the first thing. The next thing is if an illegal alien is convicted of a serious crime, deport them. If they have no criminal record leave them alone. This drive is going to increase human trafficking. Do what I say or I'll report you to ice. 

More women will be forced into prostitution because of this decisions. More workers will be exploited because of this decisions. More women will be assaulted and raped and unable to go to the police because of this decision. This decision diminishes all of us. 

This whole idea of ICE Agents kicking in people's doors looking for illegal aliens concerns me. It sounds an awful lot like Gestapo to me. First they come for the illegal aliens. Then they come for your illegal guns. Then they come for the Muslims. Then the Jews, then the Christians and there you have it - a Marxist Leninist Atheist sate. 

The Constitution and the Canadian Charter of Rights protects people from unnecessary searches and seizures. It also gives them the right to due process. All these Conservative podcasters are mocking Selina Gomez and they're starting to get hateful. I don't want anything to do with that. 

That doesn't mean I support the other extreme because I don't. I'm just sick of watching the pendulum swing from one extreme to the other then back again. Let's use our brain and balance it in the middle. Spending all this money on ICE agents to hunt down illegals doesn't lower taxes it increases them. 

As I said in my post about Trump's interim report card. He has done some really good things but he has also said some really crazy things. Refusing to admit that is cult like. For example, Glen Beck did a video explaining why Trump wants Greenland. That is mentally deranged. How is that any different from how China wants Taiwan? It's not. Defending that insane threat is shameful. No one is perfect. We have to be able to debate issues without a blind cult like devotion to delusions. 

ICE raids at middle, elementary schools possible

Homan defends immigration raids at middle, elementary schools

Right now they say they're going after criminals but they're not. They admit half the people they arrested had no criminal record. Likewise they say they're going after MS-13 members 14-17. 14-17 year olds aren't in elementary school. They are using that false narrative to justify going after kids. I do not support that. I don't support any of this. Secure the border and if they commit a violent crime deport them then. That is all. Don't waste money on hunting down families with no criminal record. 

Donald Trump's interim report card: As and Fs

I know it's a bit early for an interim report card but since things are moving at a fast and furious pace, we need to stop and analyze what he has done right and what he has done wrong.

Pardoning the J6ers: A+ The punitive way they were denied the right to a fair trial was shameful. Denying them their Constitutional rights because they were deemed terrorists was a sleazy move. History has recorded that. 

Declassifying the JFK, RFK, and MLK Jr. files: A The CIA will never release them but it's a step in the right direction. 

Helping negotiate a cease fire in Gaza: A+

Promoting and end to the war in the Ukraine: A+

Threatening a military invasion of Greenland: F

Sh*ting on Canada your neighbor and Ally: F-

Addressing the WEF like they matter: F

Promoting Bill Gates' Stargate: F

What we are witnessing is a whole lot of extremism right out of the gate. Extreme good and extreme evil. I think the biggest problem we are witnessing is the defiant abuse of power. The American people elected a whole lot of representatives and none of them are being consulted on any of these rash moves. 

Trashing Justin Trudeau was funny but trashing Canada is not. It's rude and offensive. Threatening us with tariffs if we don't become a state is mentally deranged. Threatening the use of military force to take Greenland is mentally deranged.

When Trump was president he joked about wanting to buy Greenland. Denmark said sorry, it's not for sale. That was the end of it. Now all of a sudden he won't let it go. This is when he needs to stop talking because instead of sounding like a patriot he is sounding like a raging lunatic.

The same with Canada becoming a state. Once is funny, twice is not. Three times is insane. Then he starts pissing on the world threatening to tariff everyone if they don't start investing in America. Investing in America? How about boycotting America. 

Trump says he doesn't need Canada. OK I guess he doesn't need us to buy your sh*t then. I guess you don't need us to buy your cars, trucks, boats and motorcycles. I guess no one in the world does because Trump doesn't need anyone. 

I have to admit, I didn't see this coming. One of the reasons Trump had so many haters before is because they saw him as a loose cannon. Right now his erratic behavior is validating all those previous concerns. Now we're all questioning as to whether or not this guy should have the nuclear codes. 

Don't get me wrong, Biden was bad and so was Kamala but they were just puppets for a greater evil. Breaking that grip was good. However, Trumps support for Bill Gates and the WEF is a slap in the face of every patriot that voted for him.

This is why I stressed caution. Blind faith in anyone is blind. Everyone needs to be accountable. That's why we have the Constitution. To keep elected officials accountable to the people who elected them. Trump's recent demand that Egypt and Jordan taking millions of Palestinian refugees from Gaza is straight out of the Twilight Zone. 

October 7th was an orchestrated event. It could not have happened unless Netanyahu made it possible. Mosaad created Hamas to push Fatah out of Gaza after the PLO agreed to a ceasefire. They assassinated Yitzhak Rabin to pave the way for Netanyahu's defiant violation of the commandments in his Greater Israel expanded borders. That is an abomination. 

Just like sexually assaulting prisoners is. Just like killing civilians and children with drones after bombing a safe zone was. Just like assassinating aid workers was. 

Now Trump wants to endorse all that by sending all the residents of Gaza to Egypt and Jordan so his son in law can sell beach front stolen property in Gaza. That is an abomination. 

It's a horrible thing to say and it's an even more horrible thing to do. This life is a test. They say circumstances don't make the man they reveal him to himself and to the rest of the world. 

Saying such a horrible thing reveals Trump's despicable character. Trump has become an arrogant bully. God did not save his life for that. Trump has been swept away by his pride.

"We have learned by sad experience that it is the nature and disposition of almost all men, as soon as they get a little authority, as they suppose, they will immediately begin to exercise unrighteous dominion. Hence many are called, but few are chosen." Donald Trump failed his test. 

History will not remember him as a patriot, history will remember him as a lunatic. There's a religious artist that paints all these magnificent portraits of Trump as a noble figure. If I had purchased one of those portraits before he lost his mind, I would now throw it in the garbage. His nobility has been lost and all that remains is an arrogant bully. History has recorded that. 

The Brett Cooper Show – Episode 1

A lot of people have been talking about Brett Cooper's departure from the Daily Wire. Without getting into the drama, I see she's starting her own show and it premiers January 30th 2025. Brett Cooper is unwritten.

California considers letting wildfire victims sue oil companies for damages

The Communist News network is reporting that "California considers letting wildfire victims sue oil companies for damages" because of climate change." That is mentally deranged. 

When an arsonist starts a fire that has nothing to do with climate change. When the criminally insane governor diverts water away from LA based on a lie, that's his fault not the oil companies. In reality the victims of the fire have the right to sue the governor for diverting the water. 

Operation Stargate: AI programmed with Communist Ideology infiltrates National Security

WDSU wrote a very good article about this new Star Gate project Donald Trump just announced. They also outline a few security concerns. Trump is throwing away all the safety regulations and proceeding full steam ahead once again without thinking it through first. This is why we have a democratic system in place. Bills are presented, debated an voted on. It's not supposed to be a monarchy or a dictatorship.

Trump promised this will create a huge number of jobs in the US. Will it? It will obviously create some. People who are involved with that technology but isn't the whole intent of AI to eliminate jobs and replace people with technology?

I'm not saying we shouldn't embrace technology. I'm just saying although it will create new jobs in one field it will eliminate many jobs in other fields. Besides that, I have two other concerns.

The announcement claims "the venture will focus on economic development and protecting national security." National security and AI. What could possibly go wrong?

The fact that they want to use AI to control national security instead of human beings poses a moral dilemma as well as increased safety risks which brings us to my second concern.

Google has replaced it's fake fact checkers with fake AI. Google AI states Lee Harvey Oswald never worked for the CIA before the Kennedy assassination. That is not true. He most certainly did. Google AI is presenting false information as fact. Google AI says Covid lock downs and Rna Covid vaccines are safe and effective when we all know they are neither.

My second concern revolves around programming AI with a WEF or Communist ideology then let it completely take over every aspect of our lives including National Security.

OK so what is AI? Let's have a Boomer breakdown. I am certainly no expert on AI but I can tell you what I've seen. AI can completely build a new modern website for you in seconds. That replaces a lot of web designer jobs. Obviously web designers will start using AI but it's all a little bit creepy. 

The Wordpress blog which was a little too basic is now full of AI templates that are all well beyond me. Now let's talk about Chat GPT. I've seen someone use it and it's pretty amazing.

You know that commercial that says I'm late for a deadline? So you have to give a talk or submit a report and have waited until the last minute. "Chat GPT I want you to write a report about such and such. I want it to be this long and I want you to include this and that. While you're at it, I want you to make is sound like I'm a such and such." Then instantly, there it is. 

It's great for kids who don't want to do their homework. Yet again it's all programmed with a set of facts that may or may not be true. It can easily be programmed to be very partisan like all the fake fact checkers we have already seen. 

Grammerly used to just be a spell check. Now it includes AI. There was a University student who was expelled not long ago for using AI. She objected because it was just Grammerly which is a spell check. Only now that's AI as well.

Elon Musk is a bit choked because he runs an AI platform too and his isn't included in Trump's big Microsoft merger. Trump said Elon's pissed because he doesn't like one of the guys. 

Which guy would that be? Why that would be Sam Altman the co founder of Open AI who created Chat GPT. Sam was fired in November 2023 but reinstated a few months later. 

Sam Altman is a regular contributor to the World Economic Forum. So just where do you think they plan on getting their funding from? What could possibly go wrong? 

This is how the WEF will infiltrate every aspect of our lives and Donald Trump is promoting it hook line and sinker. The WEF is going to program Stargate with their deranged ideology. Operation Stargate is Agenda 2030 on steroids. Sam Altman donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration fund. 

People Magazine is reporting that "Ann Altman filed a lawsuit Monday that alleged her older brother sexually abused her for several years starting when she was 3 years old." MI 6 is reporting that he denies it. 

The New York Post is reporting that "OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has raked in nearly $100 million – including from indicted FTX fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried and Jeffrey Epstein’s former comrade Reid Hoffman – for his latest cryptocurrency project that relies on a creepy eye-scan Orb to verify users."

"The funds will be used to advance Worldcoin — Altman’s plan for a secure, global cryptocurrency that offers free crypto in exchange for a scan of users’ eyeballs."

Reuters is reporting that "Worldcoin, a cryptocurrency project founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, said on Thursday it was rebranding to World Network and was ramping up efforts to scan every human's iris using its orb devices."

"Its core offering is its World ID, which the company describes as a 'digital passport' to prove that its holder is a real human and tell the difference with AI chatbots online."

Spain and Germany have stated that Sam Altman's Worldcoin Must Delete All IRIS Scanning Data. Spain also rejected PCR test data for good reason. They were unreliable. 

"Yampolskiy pointed to some specific areas of concern, such as AI’s influence on synthetic biology and nanotechnology. But again, he reiterated that we likely can’t predict the biggest threats from AI yet." Stargate was Bill Gates plot. Exit Jesus AI?

"The world of artificial intelligence (AI) is evolving rapidly, and one of the most exciting developments in recent years is Microsoft’s Project Stargate. This ambitious AI supercomputer initiative, backed by tech pioneer Bill Gates, is poised to redefine how we use AI in everyday life."

Ever see the movie 2001 a Space Odyssey? Hal was the AI computer that ran everything including life support. Then something went wrong and it became very difficult to shut it off. 

Another aspect of AI is election interference. "Chat GTP. I want you to create 10,000 fake social media platforms that all sound like different people. Then I want those platforms to spam the Internet with anti this and pro that." That's exactly what that private Israeli intelligence firm was doing to hack and influence elections in Africa and around the world. 

Years ago we had a referendum on amending the Canadian Constitution with a District Society clause. I listened to another lawyer friend in Langley speak against it. He said I'm a contract lawyer. Under normal circumstances you want to think the best of people and assume they won't misuse something. It's my job to examine a contract and determine how it could be misused. 

The same thing with AI. Nuclear technology is great but it can also be misused for military purposes. The same with AI. Only those military purposes have no moral conscience just like the Blackwater mercenaries. AI soldiers have no ethics. 

Israeli sniper shoots disabled child in Gaza after ceasefire

Truth out is reporting that "Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian child in southern Gaza on Monday in an apparent violation of the ceasefire agreement that went into effect just the day before. An Israeli sniper reportedly shot the 15-year-old child on Monday evening in central Rafah." 

"Graphic footage of the attack also shows Israeli forces opening fire at another Palestinian who approaches the child’s body in an attempt to check in on him. Palestinian sources identified the child as Zakariya Hameed Yahya Barbakh. He was one of two children killed by Israeli gunfire on Monday evening, according to Palestinian news agency Wafa. Israeli forces also killed at least one civilian and injured nine others in Rafah on Monday." 

CNN is reporting that "Zakariya is one of at least four Palestinians allegedly shot by the Israeli military since the ceasefire went into effect. One minute, they were celebrating Gaza’s ceasefire. The next, they were killed." He needed a lung.

Israeli snipers targeted children with 'single shot to the head' in Gaza: UK surgeon. There is nothing Godly about that. 

Israel were using drones to shoot civilians and children after their bombing raids of safe areas before the cease fire. 

Israel's Elite Ghost Sniper Unit Accused Of War Crimes In Gaza

Update: Hundreds of families leave West Bank as major Israeli raid continues after the ceasefire was agreed upon. 

UN blasts Israel’s use of ‘war fighting’ methods in Jenin

Press TV is reporting that "The United Nations has raised serious concerns about the disproportionate use of force by Israeli military in its ongoing major assault on the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank."

Israeli drone attack kills two in expanding occupied West Bank operation. "An Israeli drone attack on a vehicle near the occupied West Bank town of Qabatiya has killed two people, the Palestinian Ministry of Health says on the fourth day of a large-scale Israeli operation in and around the nearby city of Jenin."

Israeli forces block entrances to Jenin as deadly raid enters fourth day. "Israeli forces have blocked four main entrances to Jenin city and its refugee camp on Friday as the deadly raid into the city entered a fourth day, officials said." 

"Mansour Saadi, deputy governor of Jenin, was quoted as saying by the Wafa news agency that the Israeli army blocked all four main entrances to the city and its refugee camp with earth mounds, preventing entry and exit.”

"Palestinian sources said Israeli forces launched drones with loudspeakers in the refugee camp and imposed a curfew from Thursday evening until Friday morning."

IDF Soldier killed by friendly Fire in Gaza Novemebr 2024

5 IDF soldiers killed by friendly fire in Gaza May 2024

That sounds more like the Americans than the IDF. I've heard reports of Americans serving with the IDF in Gaza. 

Another Update: Trump is now supporting the eviction of Palestinians in Gaza. His son in law previously said he wanted waterfront property there. "Jared Kushner has praised the very valuable potential of Gaza’s waterfront property and suggested Israel should remove civilians while it cleans up the strip."
