  • He’s perhaps most known locally for founding the nonprofit Common Ground in the wake of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Common Ground and its health clinic served a half a million Katrina survivors in its first year. In 2019, Rahim received a Living Legend award from the Southern University of New Orleans honoring his work. In a box near his couch sits a framed Lifetime President’s Volunteer Service Award, recently received from President Biden.

    For years, Rahim had suspected—but never been able to prove—that the FBI had targeted him. Now, government documents showed that he was correct.

    Documents obtained last year by The Nation show that in August 2006, a year after Katrina, the New Orleans Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF), a federal-police amalgamation led by the FBI, began conducting a “threat assessment” of Malik Rahim and Common Ground for “possible nefarious Domestic Terrorism or Anarchist activities.”

    The JTTF’s report claimed that Common Ground was distributing “propaganda” and “anti-government posters.” Under a section titled “Intelligence Gaps,” the JTTF posed several questions, like: “Is Common Ground planning any terrorist attacks against Louisiana government facilities?,” and, “What anarchist groups and gangs, besides the New Black Panther party, is the Common Ground Collective recruiting from?” It ends with a request for the JTTF to conduct an investigation into Common Ground.

    Perfect example of the inherent racism built into the US system; one of the former Black Panthers they interviewed is the definition of a good samaritan that stepped up for his community in ways the government didn’t, yet they had the audacity to try and claim he was helping people to recruit new Black Panther members?! Yet actual American terrorists on Jan 7, 2021 have been treated with kid gloves in comparison since they were mostly white.











  • For all you non-Americans wondering about this, some US states have setup the registration for selective services (draft) differently, and you don’t have to do anything extra like the article implies.

    The state of Virginia for example requires:

    " Every male applicant for a learner’s permit, driver’s license, commercial driver’s license, special identification card, or renewal of any such permit, license, or card who is less than twenty-six years old and is either a citizen of the United States or an immigrant shall, at the time of his application, be registered in compliance with the requirement of section 3 of the Military Selective Service Act"

    The DMV just submits the info you filled in for the license/ learner’s permit to selective services on your behalf


  • Idk about your state, but mine basically forces you to register for the selective services to even get a license/learner’s permit

    § 46.2-221.1. Registration with Selective Service required for issuance of learner’s permits, driver’s licenses, commercial driver’s licenses, and special identification cards to certain applicants.

    A. Every male applicant for a learner’s permit, driver’s license, commercial driver’s license, special identification card, or renewal of any such permit, license, or card who is less than twenty-six years old and is either a citizen of the United States or an immigrant shall, at the time of his application, be registered in compliance with the requirement of section 3 of the Military Selective Service Act, 50 U.S.C. § 3801 et seq



  • Just fyi, it wasn’t just Biden who was lead to believe that: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/3/21/october-7-forensic-analysis-shows-hamas-abuses-many-false-israeli-claims

    But the investigation by the I-Unit, which examined hours of footage from CCTV, dashcams, personal phones and headcams of killed Hamas fighters, has also found that many of the stories that came out in the days following the attack were false.

    These include claims of atrocities such as the mass killing and beheading of babies as well as allegations of widespread and systematic rape – stories that were used repeatedly by politicians in Israel and the West to justify the ferocity of the subsequent bombardment of the Gaza Strip, which has so far killed nearly 32,000 people. ‘Cannot tell whether they are gunmen or hostages’

    After a thorough analysis of all available data, the I-Unit concluded that claims by the Israeli army that it found eight burned babies at a house in Kibbutz Be’eri were untrue. The analysis found that there were no babies in the house, and the 12 people inside were almost certainly killed by Israeli forces when they stormed the building.

    This was one of a number of incidents where the police and army appear to have killed Israeli citizens. The I-Unit identified 19 such victims, but the true figure is likely to be higher. It also identified 27 captives who died between their homes and the Gaza fence in circumstances that have not been explained.

    Can’t find the article at the moment, but there was another one where they interviewed 2 of the civilians pushing the sexual violence and dead babies myths; 1 was truly reticent and ashamed of what he said happened after being shown evidence to the contrary and the other gentleman was a racist zionist who refused to change his story when confronted with facts and evidence.

    TLDR: Israelis who witnessed the aftermath of the Oct 7th attack were provided further info about their claims being wrong, 1 tries to right his wrong, the other holds onto the false tale because he a zionist. A lot of false info was going around in the beginning due to the chaos that had not been properly vetted or verified by intelligence and reporting agencies. Not saying people weren’t sexually abused, because lets be honest, men are garbage and there’s a good percentage of men who would sexually assault if they knew there would be no consequences.

    N.B. I am not a fan of the European, Zionist invaders given territory out of white guilt nor the dumb pigs that want to kill others because of the wrong imaginary friend or shade of brown skin.
