Actually frens…you are both correct.
So no sibling squabbling. Play nice.

Hedge Funds are starting to attack APES directly, both in the FakeNews and in AMC / GME / DWAC stocks. The Hedge Funds are doubling down on stupidity and it's going to cost them dearly. Hedge Funds got caught gambling with their client's $$$ and are blaming those that caught them (APES).

the Pentagon Uses a Secretive Program to Wage Proxy Wars
Exclusive documents and interviews reveal the sweeping scope of classified 127e operations
Small teams of U.S. Special Operations forces are involved in a low-profile proxy war program on a far greater scale than previously known, according to exclusive documents and interviews with more than a dozen current and former government officials.
While The Intercept and other outlets have previously reported on the Pentagon’s use of the secretive 127e authority in multiple African countries, a new document obtained through the Freedom of Information Act offers the first official confirmation that at least 14 127e programs were also active in the greater Middle East and the Asia-Pacific region as recently as 2020. In total, between 2017 and 2020, U.S. commandos conducted at least 23 separate 127e programs across the world.
Separately, Joseph Votel, a retired four-star Army general who headed both Special Operations Command and Central Command, which oversees U.S. military efforts in the Middle East, confirmed the existence of previously unrevealed 127e “counterterrorism” efforts in Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen.
Another former senior defense official, who requested anonymity to discuss a classified program, confirmed that an earlier version of the 127e program had also been in place in Iraq. A 127e program in Tunisia, code-named Obsidian Tower, which has never been acknowledged by the Pentagon or previously identified as a use of the 127e authority, resulted in combat by U.S. forces alongside local surrogates in 2017, according to another set of documents obtained by The Intercept. A third document, a secret memo that was redacted and declassified for release to The Intercept, sheds light on hallmarks of the program, including use of the authority to provide access to areas of the world otherwise inaccessible even to the most elite U.S. troops.
The documents and interviews provide the most detailed picture yet of an obscure funding authority that allows American commandos to conduct counterterrorism operations “by, with, and through” foreign and irregular partner forces around the world. Basic information about these missions — where they are conducted, their frequency and targets, and the foreign forces the U.S. relies on to carry them out — are unknown even to most members of relevant congressional committees and key State Department personnel.
Through 127e, the U.S. arms, trains, and provides intelligence to foreign forces. But unlike traditional foreign assistance programs, which are primarily intended to build local capacity, 127e partners are then dispatched on U.S.-directed missions, targeting U.S. enemies to achieve U.S. aims. “The foreign participants in a 127-echo program are filling gaps that we don’t have enough Americans to fill,” a former senior defense official involved with the program told The Intercept. “If someone were to call a 127-echo program a proxy operation, it would be hard to argue with them.”
Retired generals with intimate knowledge of the 127e program — known in military parlance as “127-echo” — say that it is extremely effective in targeting militant groups while reducing risk to U.S. forces. But experts told The Intercept that use of the little-known authority raises grave accountability and oversight concerns and potentially violates the U.S. Constitution.
One of the documents obtained by The Intercept puts the cost of 127e operations between 2017 and 2020 at $310 million, a fraction of U.S. military spending over that time period but a significant increase from the $25 million budget allocated to the program when it was first authorized, under a different name, in 2005.

What Do You Make of the Stars?
Would you look at the number of stars out tonight?
I can't think when I've ever seen starlight so bright.
You can see why they say it's romantic alright,
All those men with flamenco guitars.
You can bet they insist on another thing too,
Make a wish on a star and that wish will come true.
Do you think something like that might happen for you?
Tell me, what do you make of the stars?
Can you find what your ancestors pictured up there?
Can you pick out the Archer, the Dog and the Bear?
Do you know that the starlight is crowning your hair
With the wealth of the last of the Tsars?
I don't know how much star gazing's ever been worth,
I don't know if the heavens acknowledge the earth
But it feels like a star did a dance at your birth
Tell me, what do you make of the stars?
When we're young, we like anything fiery and bright,
like the Fourth of July, or Christmas tree lights.
We strike big kitchen matches (although that's not right)
and put glow worms in mayonnaise jars.
Someday, if we grow up, like most people do,
We look at the stars and they're no longer new
Then we have to ask somebody little, like you,
Tell me, what do you make of the stars?
Several NYC Election Sites Had 'No Republican Ballots' During Last Week's Primary
Last week's primary voting in New York City was a complete debacle - as the city's Board of Elections botched everything from polling locations opening late because of 'lost keys,' to missing equipment, to unannounced relocations of voting sites, to a lack of Republican ballots across at least three Big Apple election sites.
"We showed up to the poll site in Brooklyn, we showed up at 5 a.m. … and there was no key," Spencer Mestel, a freelance writer, told the New York Post on Tuesday afternoon, adding that he saw poll workers turn away an elderly woman with a walker because they couldn't get in.
"The police officer on site didn’t have a key, the Board of Elections didn’t give [the site coordinator] a key, I watched her call the Board of Election multiple times … [but] no one helped us," added the journalist who has served as a NYC election worker for the past decade.
The building was eventually unlocked at 7:30 a.m. by the building's superintendent - more than 90 minutes after voters should have been able to start casting ballots.
Meanwhile, the Board of Elections failed to deliver equipment to one south Brooklyn location
The BOE's response? Election day had gone "very smoothly" and voters had been notified of site changes.
"If a human error occurs, it’s regretful and, in large measure, we correct immediately," said BOE deputy executive director, Vinny Ignizio. "All told, we’ll run eight elections this year and this primary election has run very smoothly."
Speaking of human error - at least three NYC election sites told voters they had no Republican ballots, according to the Post.
One voter, Ed Gavin, 62, arrived at his Bronx polling site in Spuyten Duyvil around 8:15 a.m. to cast his vote for GOP gubernatorial candidate Rob Astorino but after checking in with a poll worker, he was handed a Democratic ballot instead, he said. -NYP
"My party never came up, my political preferences were never discussed … I opened the sleeve and I saw the names of Tom Suozzi, Kathy Hochul and Jumaane Williams. These were all Democrats for governor," said Gavin, a retired Department of Correction deputy warden. "I flipped it over because I thought maybe the Republicans were on the back but there were no Republicans."
"They told me ‘we don’t have any Republican ballots,'" he added. "I said to the gentleman, ‘that is very concerning.’"
The Post verified the lack of Republican ballots at the polling site Gavin visited.
"We couldn’t find the ballots earlier, but we have them now," said a poll worker.
Gavin was pissed..
"This is the most important gubernatorial election of my lifetime because crime is on the ballot, bail reform is on the ballot, criminal justice is on the ballot," he said, adding "[Former Gov. Andrew] Cuomo essentially ruined this state … with the state of the city right now, we need a Republican in power."
