Supporting Israel is a large motivating factor for David Ellison. Part of the reason Shari Redstone sold paramount in the first place ties back to frustration around CBS's Gaza coverage. It's no secret, and mainly what I was hinting at when I said he was an ideologue. Not that it's his only reason for the acquisitions however

The most concerning aspect for me is the obvious and conspicuously-timed consolidation of these companies under David Ellison. Within the past few months he's taken control of Paramount, CBS, The Free Press, and now he's working on Warner Bros.

From everything I've seen he's basically an ideologue, and has already re-structured CBS to align with his vision.

Just something that seems very out in the open yet kind of pushed off to the side.

Mamdani won the primary by 12 points, and the idea that China is invested in the NYC Mayoral race is absurd. These articles are such ridiculous insults

Here's something I did that's very eye opening.

- Use ChatGPT to get a list of landmarks in Gaza (historical, religious, medical, educational...)

- Find the wikipedia for a landmark (hit or miss), and copy the coordinates from the upper right hand corner

- Open "Google Earth" and paste the coordinates

- Use the "Show historical imagery" button to compare the 2023 image to the most recent

You'll see with your own eyes that the majority of all notable landmarks are just about destroyed, obviously targeted, and most of the google earth images are at least a year old.

Every single university ChatGPT lists as the top 5 in gaza are gone. And you can see from the historical images that these were very nice, well-groomed campuses. All of the greenery is gone. I had heard it beforehand, but this process of self-discovery with google earth hit a little bit different

The callousness of our policy in the middle east will be slowly absorbed into every other aspect of our country, that's how life works.

Things are only going to get worse

I don't know, they've definitely been cracking down on journalists over the past year. Could be an attempt to crack down harder / create a chilling effect
