Hungarian, but not a fan. Dutch by residence. American by marriage.
Well, it was a hit job to intimidate the paper. I am still livid that the magistrate judge who signed the phoney search warrant was not disciplined.

"follow for more unconventional stories" he says. 🫠

Lying and cheating are sold as a quirky success story, and mechanical turks as brilliance.

WTF, that is ridiculous.
Also, not to forget its health attributes (also a superfood), which is why one can buy hemp seeds for salad or gluten-free bread in Europe (Netherlands, Germany, etc.)

But not in the UK, because they are equally idiotic as the US.

In the slightly less than a hundred years from 1898 to 1994, the U.S. government has intervened successfully to change governments in Latin America a total of at least 41 times. That amounts to once every 28 months for an entire century (see graph).

Colombia: Banana massacre.
U.S. officials in Colombia and United Fruit representatives portrayed the workers' strike as "communist" with a "subversive tendency" in telegrams to Frank B. Kellogg, the US SoS. Colombian government was also compelled to work for UFCO’s interests, fearing loss of trade.

Civil rights defenders, newsmakers, content creators keep the devastating stories alive, for justice and awareness of US self-interest and corporate rot.

For example:

Colombia: Unsafe use of chemicals that sterilised people thus none can sue them.

I bet people know about more than one country, since UFCO rammed Central and South America. Their story is intertwined with US state interests that "fought communism".

Many industry experta accept service for a higher purpose, with lower pay due to messed-up revenue & compensation rules.

I came from a country where lobbyists wrote various laws that were submitted at noon & approved in 12 hours without debate, so crowdsourced lawmaking rubs me with scepticism.
