    From The Article:

    M.I.A. responded to Cudi hours later on X, writing in all caps, “I WROTE ILLYGAL ON THE MAYA LP A SONG FROM 2010. I STARTED THIS INTRO TO THE SONG WITH THE STATEMENT SAYING I’M ILLYGAL, AND I SAID MY TEAM HASN’T GOTTEN VISAS YET. THEN PLAYED A SONG THAT HAD LYRICS SAYING “FU&% THE LAW”, WHICH I STILL BELIEVE, IF THE LAW IS UNJUST F@%& IT. DO NOT GASLIGHT MY WORDS. THAT IS THE WORK OF SATAN. I WROTE BORDERS AND ILLYGAL AND PAPER PLANES BEFORE YOU THOUGHT IMMIGRANT RIGHTS WERE COOL. I’VE HAD THSES BATTLES BY MYSELF WITHOUT THE HELP OF MILLIONS OF FANS BACKING ME . I DON’T NEED THIS VIRTUE SIGNAL ERA TO ALL OF A SUDDEN ERASE AN ENTIRE LIFE I’VE LED. JESUS WAS AN IMMIGRANT AND A REBEL. I HAVE NO APPOLGY FOR THE JUDGEMENTAL THE WICKED AND THE IGNORENT, FOR THOSE ARE SPIRITS THAT WE MUST OVER COME IN OUR LIVES AND IN THIS WORLD. JESUS RETURNS TO LEAD THE WORLD JUSTLY BECAUSE THERE IS INJUSTICE IN THIS WORLD . IM PROUD OF THOSE WHO FIGHT FOR IT EVERYDAY. GOD BLESS YOU. 🙏🏽 GO LISTEN TO M.I.7.”

    The fuck did I just read? Has she hung out with Kanye too often?

    M.I.A.s political views are slightly unhinged: On one hand, she is supporting free immigration, female empowerment, outspoken against genocide, supported wikileaks and the English Labor Party but then is anti vacc and is endorsing Trump…I cannot make any sense of that.

    I really liked her early music from 2005.

      The wikileaks to right winger pipeline is a very clear line that goes through Russian psyops.

          They can’t compete with the US economically if you look at GDP, so the most rational way to fight back is with psyops and phishing schemes. Much like the war in Iran has probably caused a bunch of DDOS attacks on different points in our internet infrastructure. I used to work QA for a company making jerky, and while you might not expect it, we were hit with tons of them. It’s cheap-ass warfare for its effectiveness.

      I seriously am starting to believe everyone is in it for the money only, they’ve got ties to trump regime somehow making them money and don’t want to fault it while they’re ahead. It doesn’t make sense other wise.
