    As it stands currently, marijuana retailers who wish to bank through federal institutions must effectively launder their money via Bitcoin.

    The tribunal found clear evidence that China had been extracting organs from members of the Falun Gong spiritual group for at least 20 years, and that the practice was ongoing today. They also stated that the detention centres for Uighurs were “being used as a bank of organs”.

    And for those who reside in regime-controlled areas post-offensive, as Lund says, it's important to make note of actual regime policies towards these areas, especially involving local councils and civic rehabilitation efforts under mukh auspices. All a function of extermination.

    If Lund means to suggest the regime has no interest in ultimately ruling over a murdered population, that's fine -- no state can govern legitimately without a living, breathing citizenry. But let's be real: the regime has already exterminated its populace to a manageable level.

    The Trump administration is case in point as to exactly how and why deep state conspiracies are utterly absurd. It's like herding cats, except the cats are all Beltway insiders.

    Look for example at the s. front particularly in Deraa governorate, one of the starkest examples of regime coalition efforts to manage a negotiated iteration of civil society which ultimately exists under the auspices of mukhabarat. Local councils, segmented civic governance.

    Critical as Lund says to consider areas already retaken, whereas the retaking of these areas is itself a direct extension of regime genocide (via divide-and-conquer + collective punishment efforts), post-offensive efforts also intend to demographically resort and repress locals.

    Safe to say I disagree strongly and fundamentally on a historical basis with Lund's strange assessment regarding how the regime coalition treats populations under its control. His assessment that the regime tries to "rule, not exterminate" its populations misses critical context.

    Replying to @Charles_Lister @Elizrael
    It was about a hypothetical post-capture situation, for which it makes sense to look at areas already retaken (while noting diffs & path-dependence). Retaken NW areas will be grimmer than, say, Deraa. But even in ex-IS Deir, Assad tries to rule the population, not exterminate it.

    Aside from the fact that Rania clearly doesn't speak or read or write Arabic with any degree of fluency (see her YT subs), it always amazes me when leftists try so hard to be not-racist that they end up being very, very racist.
