Turns out that not only is Brown Moses a paid shill for the US State Department and CIA, he also gets paid by a think-tank funded by the UAE. Now that's what I call quality, impartial journalism.

But no, they don't fund him... Except when they pay him for writing "reports".

Reading about Belingcat's involvement in the early stages of the Russiagate scam, I came across this very funny article which covers how Elliot Higgins and his cronies interacted with the foremost ISIS propagandist on Twitter (who they called an 'ISIS expert', of course).

ShamiWitness: How Bellingcat and neocons collaborated with ISIS' most influential propagandist on Twitter | The Grayzone

Syria regime-change "experts," from Bellingcat Eliot Higgins to pro-war journalists like Michael Weiss, promoted ISIS recruiter ShamiWitness as an "expert"
thegrayzone.com thegrayzone.com
The best part of this isn't that Higgins supported ISIS- of course he does, just like his bosses at the National Endowment for Democracy (CIA), NATO, UAE and Saudi Arabia does. The pro-ISIS account he praised wasn't even being run by some ISIS guy on the ground in Syria or Iraq- it was an Indian marketing exec who doesn't even speak Arabic and was boosting ISIS for clout. Nigga didn't even speak Arabic!
 
In another episode of goons with no sense of awareness trying to fuck up other websites we have the A+ posters of the something awful goon board game thread:

How to fix this totes problematic website that doesn't parrot SA's brain-dead teen vogue-tier talking points? Just bring the same passive aggressive terrible moderation policies over there too! After all, SA is doing so well and thriving, a true model to the rest of the web! Bonus points for noticing that the first hopeless cucked faggot is whining about bugging the jannies on offsites because other users aren't towing the line when it comes to sucking off black lives matter bullshit in retarded things like board games.

The best thing anyone can ever do is fucking ignore these fags and/or ban on sight. The worst they do is slink off back to ReeeeesetEra or SA and bitch and moan to no one in particular. They prey on the good intentions of others and anyone with two brain cells can look at how fucking shitty their own website is and immediately ignore any advice.

But I have no fucking idea what to say to make a positive impact.

No kidding! Maybe it's best to just say nothing at all!
 
E/N is celebrating that they’re behind the paywall. The general internet can now not lol at stuff like scraggly Jesus who can’t drive a car.

At the start of this year, I had a home, a job, a girlfriend, some self esteem, and a path for my future. And now that it's almost over I feel like I've lost all of it.

The first I lost was my girlfriend, who seemingly out of nowhere dumped me. This was partly corona related, as we had only talked and been around each other for about three months of doing nothing due to lockdown. Her health was a serious issue, and due to work obligations, it was impossibly difficult for me to isolate and be safe. So we had to be distanced, and pray that things would be safe enough for us to be together again. Then one day after talking and waiting for her to just say she loved me again, she dumped me. And I haven't been with anyone since. I've tried, I've talked and met with people (safely), but nothing ever came of it. There was never that chemistry and warmth that I've felt with her. And I have just felt incredibly lonely, and I still can't get over her, and I desperately hate her and want her back.

Also at the start of the year, I was in school in order to actually have a career path. Only working to qualify for school, but it was promising. Then everything shut down, and due to the instability of my life I finished up the semester and haven't been back, and I'm not sure if I will even be able to go back.

As for work, after a few months, we were permitted to open up again. Small business, and a type of business that is reliant on conditions to be non-pandemic-y. And after a few very slow months, our owner announced he was retiring and closing the business. And I was out on my ass, left to collect unemployment.

After several weeks of applying for probably hundreds of jobs, the only place that would have me is ups as a seasonal worker. Which is only going to last me for 2 months, and then I'm back at square one. And right now I'm just praying that someone who is hiring full time will have me, because I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to live on part time work.

And now today, my roommates are basically talking about moving out of the city. Breaking lease for an 'incredible deal' that I can't follow them to. Opportunity is here in the city, and I can't drive nor have a car. And now I'm terrified that come 2021, I might not have a job, won't have a home, and not have anywhere to turn to. My only friends I had were my work friends, and they're scattered to the winds. I don't have a good relationship with my family. And right now I'm basically hoping for a miracle to happen so that I will be able to have a place to live.

And to add to this shit sandwich, I had to shave and cut my hair for this goddamn seasonal job. Before I was kind of a scraggly Jesus, long hair and long beard. Overdue for a haircut and trim, but it felt like me. And today, when I look in the mirror, I absolutely despise how I look. I look like a stranger, like I'm ugly as sin. It's the closest I've ever felt to dimorphism. I feel like I gave in, and because of it the universe is punishing me by making me unemployable, unlovable, homeless, with absolutely no future ahead of me.

And I've got insomnia. Fucking great.

"long hair and long beard. Overdue for a haircut and trim, but it felt like me."

When a goon says this what they really mean is: It felt like someone from vidya or movies who I wish I was.

"...Why, yes, I did vote for Joe Biden. Why do you ask?"


I don't have a good relationship with my family.

I'll take "Things that goon didn't need to explicitly say" for $600, Alex.
 
What do you mean Biden is taxing business owners at over 60% and none of them are hiring? But we defeated fascism!

I've been out of the loop for a bit and catching up -- do we have any data on site traffic since Jeffrey took over? I imagine the forums have to be more or less dead by this point.

It's just continuing its steady slide into irrelevance according to Alexa. Usually there's a traffic spike during elections and big happenings but this year there was nothing. Tells me that pretty much all of the "casual" users have fled and now they're stuck with a dwindling number of dead enders.

Give it until next year, this thread will probably become as irrelevant as SA, especially when RetardEra exists.

I mean until the wife-beating last year, this thread was down to a monthly series of posts
"Are goons still a bunch of autistic faggots?"
"Yes."
"Yes, but here is how Lowtax could still save it"

With Lowtax dethroned and Jeffery being dull as dish dilation water, I'm pretty sure things will head back into that direction until Lowtax kills himself, or Jeffery offends the troonbrigade.
