    Add that to the $EVIL etf, jeez how did I miss them. I guess it's a smaller company which means per cent growth is a bit easier for them, but yeah they grew right out the gate when Oct 7 happened.

    NVIDIA is great because it sits as the material base for AI and crypto both. Even if one scam runs out of steam, you still got the other. And I guess they also have gaming and other stuff too.

    I think Marx would have done well as a crypto influencer, at least in the early days when it was all still mostly nerds. Guy like him knowing the ins n outs of capital would know to milk these dorks for all the money they're worth.

    Yeah that's true these companies don't just get hype when a war starts, they get hype for promise of future profit. End of Afghanistan -> Ukraine for example had a 1 year gap, and a lot of these companies seemed flat for that time period. Well, not GD, you can see the story of the whole war with them. War begins -> small spike in price -> Biden says no F-16s or other too powerful weaponry to Ukraine -> that spike goes away -> slow increase in price as these promises to limit the scope of the war fade.

    Since it's been one year on since the Gaza War started, I decided to look at some defense stocks to see how profitable the genocide machine has actually been. Overall, it seems pretty profitable for the companies with relevant weapons and supplies for the war at this stage, but if I was a vampire capitalist and just threw my money into defense as soon as I thought war demand was coming I'd be pretty disappointed at the outcome so far. One year in NVIDIA outperforms all of them by a ton, and the S&P 500 keeps pace in the middle of the pack.

    • Raytheon (+70.05% 1 YR) is the best performer by far. It makes sense since the Iron Dome missiles are made by them. They are making a whole new facility in Arkansas for the purpose of making more of these things that won't be online until 2025, apparently. Whose to say whether the entity known as Israel will even last that long but hey, that just means money in Raytheon's pockets.

    • Caterpillar (+47.03% 1 YR) a construction company that makes bulldozers for the IOF, so it's part of the genocide machine obvs. Recently they've been downgraded by Morgan Stanley so we'll see if this keeps up.

    • L3Harris Technologies (+39.97% 1 YR) military helicopters and aircraft electronics. Great year for them, Oct 7 represents the bottom of a 2 year losing streak for them.

    • Lockheed Martin (+38.14% 1 YR) has a sudden jolt right around the time the US authorized the production of more F-35s. It also happens to be the week where Netanyahu visited the US Congress. Below I have a photo of other companies that have a little jolt around that time as well.

    • General Dynamics (+23.92% 1 YR) naval and communications. The stock seems to have been doing well before Oct 7 though so IDK.

    And some losers...

    • Boeing (-19.49% 1 YR) you know why. But you could have sold when the news was still breaking and done well for yourself.

    • Elbit Systems (-0.56% 1 YR) they make drones and they made the Gaza wall defense towers that got owned on Oct 7. Israel doesn't care for defending its citizens right now because genocide but they seem to be pivoting towards the genocide business judging by the swing towards profitability recently.

Now apparently the jews are making the hurricanes with the illegal immigrants with their weather machines. I miss biblical rage against your political opponents. This is Allah's doing. Allah sent this hurricane for the sins of the Great Satan.

    No Israel will nuke USA and blame Iran.

    Then the US will send another $50 billion to Israel for another bomb to be developed and sit in the cuck chair while more profitable conventional war is waged with Iran with missiles.

    Not even close to the most appalling information to come out about this man. (Big time CW)

    He:

    • Posted a fake raunchy encounter about how he cheated on his wife with his wife's sister. Turns out his wife doesn't even have a sister
    • Many posts about literally being a black nazi
    • Many posts about being okay with slavery
    • One post speculating that he would be the one to own some slaves if slavery was ever brought back.
    • Known to be a gooner before these new allegations dropped. Would go to a porn shop in Greensboro and goon with a pizza in the back of the store.
    • Said porn store mentioned Robinson had gone into "porn debt"
    • Is a chaser. Naturally his politics are anti-trans.

    I'm probably missing some things too.

    Thing is, you don't know who has got their hands on your phone/device before you buy it. Low or high tech.

    In the case of your personal smart phone you might buy your phone from a dealer that sells to a variety of people which makes an attack like this on you very unlikely. Furthermore you may take your phone to a repair shop and there they will be able to find any signs of tampering. You have more to worry about from Five Eyes Spyware which is on every device and social media site.

    Hezbollah's pager was bought from one point of sale - a single point of failure. Furthermore the reliability and cheapness of these devices makes it less necessary to repair them and find signs of tampering.

    Hungarian shell company behind exploding pagers used by Israel in Lebanon terror attack - The Cradle

    Someone mentioned Motorola as a supplier of these types of pagers, but these AR-924 models are made by this exact company.

    The AR-924 pagers used by Israel in a terror attack that left thousands of casualties in Lebanon on 17 September were manufactured by BAC Consulting KFT, a shell company based in the Hungarian capital of Budapest, according to a statement released by Gold Apollo, a Taiwanese firm that authorized the use of its brand on the pagers.

    “According to the cooperation agreement, we authorize BAC to use our brand trademark for product sales in designated regions, but the design and manufacturing of the products are solely the responsibility of BAC,” the statement read.

    Gold Apollo’s chair, Hsu Ching-Kuang, told journalists Wednesday that his firm inked the licensing agreement with BAC three years ago.

    “The product was not ours. It was only that it had our brand on it,” the Taiwanese businessman told reporters. “We are a responsible company. This is very embarrassing.”

    No kidding, bud.

    BAC Consulting is registered with Cristiana Rosaria Bársony-Arcidiacono, listed as its owner and sole employee on the company website.

    among-drip

    The website, which was blocked behind a username and password on Wednesday morning, also claims she has served on the board of directors of the Earth Child Institute. However, the sustainability group does not list Bársony-Arcidiacono among its board members.

    Good post, comrade. Sounds to me like the ability to maneuver the missile is desirable for getting around dome defenses anyways, and it's hard to get capability to both maneuver and maintain hypersonic speeds. Not to say that a Zircon missile would be useless to the Houthis, I mean speed has to make up for that somehow, right?

    For the first time, an American-Israeli weapons manufacturer partnership at an American University has ended over Palestinian rights.

    This actually happened a few days ago.

    Idk it could be about Israel not wanting to contend with the fact that it can't answer this strike tit-for-tat. Or they want to forget about this story already because it's invade Lebanon time. Or Israel wants to lobby for better iron dome missles.

Hard to maintain the fees and pay off the assassins to stay quiet at the same time I suppose.

    >Melanie Ward, CEO of the Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) charity, faces major backlash from volunteers and workers after deciding to run as a Labour Party candidate in Scotland. Some 2,250 healthcare workers, medical volunteers, supporters, and donors signed a letter expressing concern. >On June 5, a protest letter was filed by workers and volunteers at MAP, expressing their dismay to the board over Ward’s candidacy with the UK Labour Party. To run for the position of MP in Scotland’s Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath constituency, Ward has taken a leave of absence but has not stepped down from her position. >Despite Ward’s pledge to make real progress for the Palestinian people if elected to Parliament, MAP is currently without an acting CEO during a healthcare collapse in Gaza. Some fear her actions could jeopardize the aid organization’s efforts on the ground, leading to threats of referring MAP to the Charity Commission. To make matters worse, Ward has a history of pro-Israel sentiment that many fear is compromising the effort to aid Palestinians: >Ward has a history of affiliations with pro-Israel lobby groups, starting with her first trip to Palestine, organized by the Israeli Embassy-funded Union of Jewish Students (UJS). She blogged about meeting Israeli politicians and visiting settlements but shifted her perspective after a second visit to the West Bank. However, her relationship with UJS continued, including participating in a 2017 UJS panel called “Bridges Not Boycotts,” opposing boycotts of Israel. >In 2017, Ward publicly congratulated Israel lobbyist Danny Stone on receiving a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) award for his work combating antisemitism, which she praised as “excellent.” >Ward also supported the anti-Semitism “witch hunt” during Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership, which purged much of Labour’s pro-Palestinian base, including many Jewish anti-Zionists. She tweeted, “Farewell to Jeremy Corbyn, who really was a truly terrible Labour Party Leader. He will be missed not one little bit by those of us who want to see Labour in government again.” >In 2016, she signed a letter calling for Corbyn’s resignation, shared an article urging the public not to vote for him and tweeted the former Labour leader in 2015, “Corbyn unable to think of situation where he’d commit Forces to military action. Should think a bit harder if he wants to be PM,” in response to his anti-war stance. I've always been worried about the leadership behind some of these charities since they take in a ton of money these days and they seem to be based in Western countries. Now my worries have been justified.
