Until now, little has been known about the woman whom migrants said identified herself only by her first name, “Perla,” when she solicited them to join the flights. A person briefed on the San Antonio sheriff’s office investigation into the matter told The New York Times that the person being looked at in connection with the operation is a woman named Perla Huerta.

Ms. Huerta, a former combat medic and counterintelligence agent, was discharged last month after two decades in the U.S. Army that included several deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, according to military records.

Tldr the chuds tapped the latina Jack Bauer to gently caress over migrants by shipping em to Martha’s Vineyard. No pics yet but I’m sure she’s about to be famous!

Oh man, just discharged. I hope she was on terminal leave when she did this poo poo.

E: her email is already off of global, so looks like her S6 did their job.

Based on the info that leaked regarding the PMs little soiree with a bunch of hedge fund managers the other night, it's absolutely intentional and not a bungle at all.

The vultures have been circling for the better part of 6 months gearing up to hoover up trillions in dirt cheap stocks to offset their expected losses in the longer term, and it looks like they're becoming impatient and have started saying the quiet part loud.

If COVID saw a huge consolidation of wealth away from those who didn't have the means to weather the storm (e.g. small to medium businesses closing up shop en masse while the big players gobbled up their market share), this coming bust is going to see an even more dire concentration of wealth at the very top, while those lucky enough to have been able to scrape together a deposit for a house are going to find themselves in even more severe mortgage stress, as employers either bust or conduct mass layoffs to offset their tumbling share prices. The vultures will then be looking to cheap property as the investment of choice as more and more would-be homeowners are locked out of the market, sending demand into free fall.

So yes, the people who fund the tory project would love for them to just hurry up and tank the markets already. This isn't an own goal at all - they're dribbling the ball into the net while the goal keeper stands several feet off to the side counting a suitcase full of 50 quid notes.

A worldwide economic bad time is coming and liberal democracies around the planet are wholeheartedly embracing the very same right wing domestic, foreign and economic policies that brought us here because its what the rich want. This isn't a mistake, its the culmination of all they've worked towards.

Really don't have a problem with the NH governor doing that because of the fine print:

quote:

According to the governor's office, approximately 44 soldiers from the 941st Military Police Battalion headquarters will provide command and control for four subordinate units from New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Illinois and Kentucky.

Another 120 soldiers from the Guard's 237th Military Police Company will deploy to serve in a surveillance function.

The governor's office says soldiers are prohibited from being in contact with migrants and can only notify Customs and Border Protection officers of crossings.

With Rhode Island and Illinois on there, this one appears to be one of the lesser partisan family-wrecking wasteful-spending moral morasse deployments. Sununu's up for reelection, but he's up 15+ and apparently NH-ARNG deployed for this kinda thing in the recent past. Same poll also had Hassan (D) up by 8, so this doesn't seem political stunty like most of the other governors' deployments and forcible bussings.

A good question and hard to answer isn't it. It seems to be inconsistent whenever a number is needed, related as to who gets counted possibly? Would they be
1. Anyone with a 3y+ journalism degree from a reputable university who then upholds their professional integrity? Then no.
2. A content creator who's a journalist because they say so like Robert Evans? Then yes.
