Noted in Passing (in the halls of Congress): The Sullen Silence of the CEO and his echoing footsteps
byVanderleunonDecember 2, 2022
Not a good look for the billionaire leader of the wealthiest corporation on earth that manufactures its products with slaves.(**)
(**) Brief news Backgrounder: Trapped by Apple—a Tale of the ‘Great Reset’I had been watching the mass demonstrations across China, Iran, and Brazil. My heart went out to these people fighting oppression—as I assume yours has been—not to mention my admiration for their extraordinary courage against brutal dictatorships that do literally anything to preserve power.
Where was Apple, with its “progressive” CEO Tim Cook, in all this? Part of the solution or part of the problem?
Like our government—remember “Obama, Obama, are you with us or are you with them?” during a previous round of Iran demonstrations—they are clearly part of the problem.
Apparently, they are more upset with Elon Musk for trying to bring a modicum of transparency to Twitter, pulling their ads from his newly purchased platform and, according to Musk, threatening to remove the Twitter app from their app store.
Yet worse, in China, Apple has restricted AirDrop file sharing, the very method the demonstrators have been using to communicate privately out of earshot of their totalitarian masters. Was this on advice from the communist regime or did Apple just figure out for themselves what was in their best interest to do? It wouldn’t have been hard.

Fuk cook.
Never bought anything apple and never will.
Why settle for 2nd place, and pay more for it? stupid+stupid=dbl stupid
I laff at MF’s that continuously waste their money.
Can’t wait for the day when they have to work harder for it.

I have never owned anything by Apple even though they were a major sponsor of a Porsche race team I worked for in the late seventies early eighties. This team was based in Mt View (“Silicon Valley”). Steve Wozniak was a very friendly and normal person. Steve Jobs was a flake and a fake. A vain to the extreme jerk.
If Cook were to catch fire spontaneously, I’d find that unironic. But, strangely, also funny.
Need a word for this…

Poor Cook, he’s trapped in an aphasia maze of his own making. There’s nothing he could say that wouldn’t show the wrongness of his deeply held beliefs and those of his employees. Anything he could say would only make it worse for Apple, tarnish and bring disrepute on the brand. So he says nothing and takes the L. In his mind he remains the unsullied Knight in Shining Armor.
It’s like asking a big-city voter why they keep voting Democrat, and maybe they should vote for an alternative next time. “Eeep! Errk! Danger, Will Robinson! Does not compute! You are not of the Body! Norman, coordinate!”

Tim Cook is a homosexual activist and a whore.

i would call him filth…but that’s an insult to filth. sold all my apple stock today
Before we all go Boomer Bonkers and start World War 3, let us all just reflect for a moment that Foxconn is a *Taiwanese* multinational company and the offending management in Apple’s factories in the PRC is *Taiwanese*… You know, those cuddly rainbow flag tolerant elected a Lesbian Cat Lady as President island of cuddly cute happy people you are all willing to risk nuclear immolation for?
Yeah.
And no, the workers are not slaves.
There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio.
It’s just some shit happening in some other people’s country. Frankly, it’s none of your business and you don’t really understand it and what you think you know is filtered through n levels of propagandising (*). If the Chinese people want to be free or freer or get more body piercing or beat each other rhythmically with custard filled socks, that’s their business and their lookout. You don’t need to have a deeply-felt opinion on it, let alone have a dog in their fight.
Ceterum censeo Tim Cook is a disgusting creepy queer.
* Probably involving the Epoch Times at some point in the chain — Do you really think another Taiping Tianguo is a good or humane idea? Do you even know WTF that means?
All I really need to know is Cooks a fucking communist shill. He’s on the list to get his ticket punched somewhere, by a good citizen. Sooner would be better.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

Bad night for bigs, Twitter did an intel drop. Heads should roll all the way to the top, they won’t! A very interesting read.
Go Utah!
I love what this gal was asking. Cook’s silence was profound. The ratshit owners/controllers of this planet are slipping in their own excrement. This is the best article I’ve read in a spell….

And today I read that Cook says Apple is pulling out of China!. Sure they are.
Sadly these retards believe the shit they shovel.
Then they get real, recognize literally trillions will be lost.
Why is it a certain class prioritizes money over life itself.
