The mask is off. Those in reality all see the US is blackmailed with video of them fucking children with Epstein, something the CIA and FBI had to be complicit in by the way.

    This is the guy who inherited a couple hundred million dollars worth of Cox Enterprises and divested it all because he's a communist.

    I was wondering how they'd go after him.

    The Cox family generally, leans strongly towards republican bents.

    This dude definitely is the black sheep.

    The family isn't really bad, but neither are they good.

    The Cox communications just sold off their monopoly, and it was them that most people had an issue with the family on.

    If this guy wasn't a black sheep, the Cox family would be helping him right now. They're crazy tight with each other, generally.

    People ask why there aren't many wealthy donating to the left, here is one of the reasons why. Soros gets shit upon for doing this. There is a British billionaire who did the same and got mobbed for it. Any rich folks donating to progressive causes gets character assassination from the right. Meanwhile, right wing billionaires gets a free pass because they have taken control of the media and brainwashed the masses to vote against their own interest.

    Yup, left-wing media need to be more prominent and dominant. Media is a big key.

    “That’s what Fergie has financed: humanitarian aid and support for people in a situation of great need,” said Garzón. “That’s not terrorism, according to Spanish and European legal standards.”

    Ooo, throwing some well-deserved shade there. I guess that's not actually going to offend the people who most need to get offended by it, though.

    Shouldn't the US be asking for the extradition of Netenyahu to be tried for supporting Hamas then? He has contributed directly to them in the past.

    In All About the Money, Chambers said he is dissatisfied with the convention of political civility in American public life, characterizing himself as opposed to it.

    In 2024, Chambers told Mother Jones in an interview that he believes "the most important thing for the prosperity of humanity is the destruction of the US",[3] Los Angeles magazine quoted him as saying, "I chant death to America every day. Imperialism is the death of humanity".

    He has also been supportive of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and visited Russian-occupied Donbas, referring to Vladimir Putin as a "great man".

    Chambers is a vocal supporter of Hamas; he described the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel as "a moment of hope and inspiration for tens of millions of people". Chambers later wrote on X that "No faction of the Palestinian resistance, Hamas or other, has done anything wrong".[8][12] He has also reported that he is a founder of Vox Ummah, a Egyptian-based media outlet aligned with Iranian state media

    Chambers and his second wife, Cameron Park, met in Atlanta after his return from Russia.[1] In 2013, Chambers was arrested for domestic battery and false imprisonment of Park, although he was not prosecuted. They divorced after 2020.

    Charming guy

    Yeah at first I was under the impression that he provided monetary aid to Palestinian affiliated organizations, and that that was what was really being punished.

    And I do understand that for a people suffering an ethnic cleansing, some kind of strike back at the perpetrators can be expected. but to celebrate it? Man... Like in Star Wars, we'd celebrate the Rebels throwing a bomb at a meeting of Empire big wigs, all of them with vast quantities of blood on their hands... but the Oct. 7th attack was just against regular folk. I bet there were a lot of anti-zionists in attendance at that festival. I sincerely doubt all the people killed there were violent settlers. To celebrate that is... ugh.

    Then bro went and praised pootin and his invasion of Ukraine? like, bro. What are you even doing. Borne with a silver spoon in his mouth, dude got 250 million from being a part of the family running cox communications. It's not like he's some working class hero. He just seems like an entitled twat.

    Not that I think he should be arrested for it... the drumpf administration is probably just after him because they're racist shit heels that hate brown people, while also doing a sneaky favor for the guys family which cut contact with him and now probably want him to see a jail cell in some sort of twisted familial vengeance scheme.

    One cannot expect a fair trial in the US. This should be more than enough reason not to extradict him.

    He seems like a typical campist brained ML (a self described "tankie" with tats of Stalin and Mao who thinks the only thing Putin has done wrong was not invade earlier) but I doubt he deserved to be sent off to an American gulag just for direct action.

    Isn’t the biggest thing he’s known for is supporting humanitarian stuff in Palestine? I know ‘campist’ used to mean anyone who condemned imperialism, NATO anarchism, and seriously analyzed the forces at play (finding that the primary contradiction, the thing we need to break to lay the foundation for anything else, is imperialism). But now it just means thinking third worlders are human? Bar was low but Jesus.

    Why is this person in jail in Spain? I couldn’t find the reason he was arrested, was it just at the request of the US government? And why was his girlfriend still traveling to the US while this was going on? I have so many questions after reading this article. I hope Spain doesn’t extradite this guy.
