Not to mention the eradication of the last radical elements of the labor movement and the murder of civil rights leaders.

Here’s a link to a definitely not stolen from Archive copy of the book they cited

I can’t find anything about it in there.

This forum post about it seems to think that it was a mis-identification of the ship by a NYT journalist. Probably a cruiser or some other armed ship.

Would be weird to load billions of dollars worth of gold onto an unarmed ship…

Probably routine, but they definitely withdrew gold and Pompidou was absolutely mocking America, probably sent a DeGrasse cruiser to pick it up.

Likely ship

Photo I can understand the mistake. Especially for someone not intimately familiar with ships. Anything big with guns is a battleship lol.

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
