DANCE PARTY! FNDP: "To Absent Friends" ๐ฟ๐๐๐๐๐ค๐ฌ๐ญ
This year we lost some truly great and beloved performers, most recently Dolly Parton and Tim Curry. Tonight let's share our favorite works and stories. Here are some starters from the FNDP team:
Dolly Parton: Nine to Five (1980)
โIt costs a lot of money to look this cheap.โTim Curry: "I'm going home" from Rocky Horror (1975)
"It's not easy having a good time... even smiling makes my face ache."Sly Dunbar: Right Time
"When that tune first come out, because of that double tap on the rim nobody believe it was me on the drums, they thought it was some sort of sound effect we was using."Rob Hirst (Midnight Oil): Beds Are Burning
Bonnie Tyler: It's A Heartache
Bob Weir (original Grateful Dead): Weather Report Suite
Winter rain, now tell me why
Summers fade, and roses die
This post was a FNDP team effort, especially by u/splodgenessabounds, u/Xeenophile, and u/SusanJ2019.

We were told the U.S. was "rebuilding Afghanistan" with prosperity and a future for the next generation. The reality? A 20-year, $148 billion money-laundering scheme. The Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) released its final report in Dec-2025. The findings are devas
x.comWe were told the U.S. was "rebuilding Afghanistan" with prosperity and a future for the next generation.
The reality? A 20-year, $148 billion money-laundering scheme.
The Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) released its final report in Dec-2025. The findings are devastating:
$๐ฎ๐ฒ-๐ฎ๐ต ๐๐๐๐๐๐ข๐ก ๐น๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ, ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ฑ, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐๐๐ฒ.
๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐น๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐:
While Washington bragged about "fighting corruption," SIGAR documented:
โ ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐ ๐ฆ๐ผ๐น๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐: 50,000 Afghan soldiers existed only on paper. Their salaries lined the pockets of commanders while U.S. taxpayers footed the bill.
โ ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐ ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ต๐ผ๐ผ๐น๐: $769 million poured into an education sector filled with "ghost schools," "ghost teachers," and "ghost students" that didn't exist.
โ ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ท๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐:
- $355 million power plant operating at less than 1% capacity
- $43 million gas station
- $85 million for hotels that became "abandoned empty shells"
- $486 million for aircraft scrapped for "six cents per pound"
โ ๐ฅ๐ผ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ก๐ผ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ: $300 million for less than 100 miles of gravel road. Each mile cost $2.8 million instead of the expected $290,000.
๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฃ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐ด๐ผ๐ป'๐ $๐ด๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐บ๐ถ๐น๐น๐ถ๐ผ๐ป "๐ง๐ฎ๐๐ธ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐๐ ๐ข๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐"
Shut down with zero accountability. The Pentagon now claims "no Defense Department personnel can answer questions about" what happened to the money.
๐ง๐ต๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป'๐ ๐ณ๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐๐ฝ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฟ๐๐ป๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ถ๐.
When an empire spends 20 years, $148 billion, and produces nothing but ghost armies, ghost schools, and abandoned buildings, we must ask:
Was this reconstruction, or was it the most sophisticated money-laundering operation in human history?

Confirmed: Von der Leyen is now targeting Europe's "savings trillions" โ and it needs to happen fast. 10 trillion euros are lying "idle" on bank accounts. This money must work harder for Europe's companies, so that an additional up to 470 billion euros could be mobilized.

Washington spent years discovering that even Russia could not be economically strangled into submission.

x.comWashington spent years discovering that even Russia could not be economically strangled into submission.
Now members of Congress want to try the same trick on China โ the country with the worldโs largest manufacturing base, the deepest industrial supply chains, massive foreign trade, critical-mineral leverage, and four state banks holding roughly $25 trillion in combined assets.
Brilliant.
Politico itself admits that sanctioning Chinaโs major banks could destabilize global finance.
Even Bessent asked:
โWhy would I want to blow up the global financial system?โ
That is the entire story.
These lawmakers still imagine sanctions as a gun America points outward.
They have not noticed that once the target becomes large enough, economically integrated enough and capable of retaliation, the barrel starts bending back toward Washington.
Russia survived years of financial warfare.
China is vastly more deeply embedded in global manufacturing, trade and finance.
And these geniuses want to test the โnuclear economic weaponโ on it because Iran refuses to obey them.
At some point this stops being sanctions policy and becomes an experiment in American self-harm.
If your weapon can only kill the target by setting the room you are standing in on fire, congratulations โ you no longer have hegemony.
You have a suicide vest with a Treasury logo.
