(not sure why the comparison was made to “Jewish people in the holocaust”????)
this humanitarian crisis is not the result of an earthquake or tsunami or some kind of uncontrollable phenomenon undefeatable by man – it is the direct result of the blockade of Yemen poised by Saudi Arabia and the United States, the entirety of the Arab league and allies like France, Canada and the United Kingdom.
Not only must Yemenis face famine, but also cholera outbreaks which cause thousands of new cases everyday. Saudi Arabia has been known to purposely target water, sanitation and health facilities which is worsening the outbreak and resulting in even more deaths (x)
Saudi Arabia is fighting to reassert the presidency of their favoured presidential candidate by starving & assaulting Yemen and is using weapons financed by its western allies and Gulf arab states to do so. (x)(x)(x)
The genocide of Yemeni people is occurring for the sake of assuring power and monopoly over the region for Saudi Arabia and the United States.
The USA and Saudi Arabia said nothing when Al-Qaeda took hold of Yemen, they said nothing when ISIS took hold of Yemen, they said nothing when monthly terrorist attacks would claim yemeni lives – but when the pro-U.S. and pro-Saudi Arabia president was removed from power, they carried out the worst assault in modern history of any nation and are starving millions to regain control of Yemen.
So about a year ago me and my friend Nathan were walking around the “Pick-a-Part” in Clarksville Tennessee… We were searching for car badges and a spoiler to put on his trashy conversion van. While going through the lot we found what is probably the single greatest car to ever drive on any road in the world.
You are looking at… a Dora the Explorer themed gangster car… I’ve seen spongebob themed cars, Newport themed cars, sports team themed cars, but THIS.
trumps them all.
OH BUT IT GETS SO MUCH BETTER!!!!
You see… there has to be a reason that a car like this…
Would end up in the junkyard… SO me and Nathan did some looking around and tried to figure out why…
I still can’t believe the decals on this…. wait…
HOLD ON ONE FUCKING SECOND!
OH!
OH MY FUCKING GOD!
YES! SOMEONE ACTUALLY GOT SHOT WHILE DRIVING THEIR DORA THE EXPLORER CAR IN CLARKSVILLE TENNESSEE!
And THAT, is the single greatest thing I’ve found in a junkyard to this day.
okay this is totally wild but i RECOGNIZE THIS CAR
and i actually have a picture of it from its functioning days – this is dated 2012 –
“Everybody in Vermont was so amazing. Like, electric bill was forgiven, you know, gas bill was forgiven, cable. … People were so moved by this kid that was murdered in his own home,” DeOliveira-Longinetti said.
She said the federal government wiped out Kevin’s Stafford loan debts as well, but the New Jersey Higher Education Student Assistance Authority – the source of nearly $19,000 in additional student loans – did not.
“Please accept our condolences on your loss… Monthly bill statements will continue to be sent to you,” DeOliveira-Longinetti read from the HESAA letter.
When she gets the bill in the mail, it’s a reminder that her son is dead and will not graduate, DeOliveira-Longinetti said.
“I know what a co-signing is. If it defaults, I’m responsible. I know that,” she said. “You’re not going to say to your kid, you can’t go to college because of $4,000.”
Earlier this month, an investigation by ProPublica and The New York Times looked at HESAA and quoted a lawyer who likened it to “state-sanctioned loan-sharking.” ProPublica reporter Annie Waldman interviewed dozens of borrowers including a cancer patient who lost his job and couldn’t repay his loans. HESAA sued him for $266,000.
