DefenseOne.com says, Experts say the military must recruit more women and more immigrants—and change its culture to embrace diversity as a strength—to be successful in the future. Obviously they forgot to point out we need more trannies and homos in leather dog masks in upper leadership positions too. Imagine being your normal kick-ass non-Cabal Marine, with a sky-high IQ and no fear of death, and knowing you will never have any chance to attain upper leadership status,  as you are looking up at some male to female trannie General in a wig and makeup, with a 100 IQ, who you know is batshit crazy and totally incompetent, but they just effortlessly soared above you, to places you can never go. That is Cabal.

London Police recruiting illiterate officers with criminal records who can barely write English to meet “diversity” quotas. No. They could easily recruit law-abiding literates who were diverse and fill diversity quotas. They are recruiting assets of the machine, many of whom are probably illiterate because when they should have been learning to read they were running surveillance and fucking off because they knew the only thing which would determine success when they grew up was whether they were in the Cabal’s good graces or not. Or they were brought here from where they served Cabal as ground surveillance overseas. But look how well they have developed the cover for all this. Regular Britons could not get hired on if they tried. And yet they are hiring all sorts of dregs. We don’t even blink when we hear it, and nobody is alleging there is a secret society beyond our little corner of the world. But the evidence grows, and it will come out.

I had the same thought.

As it happens, I saw a headline the other day that Macron is considering calling new legislative elections in 2023. And Trudeau has been predicted to call new elections as well. But both are in the situation of not having a majority in the lower chamber of their legislature. I don’t think either will happen. The next one that is on the calendar for important countries otherwise are the biennial American ones in November 2024.

I suspect the Cabal leadership has come to the conclusion that staging these fake elections are more trouble than they are worth. And they have time to make that call. I can’t believe they don’t have a major operation planned to roll out later this year or early next year, and they won’t be re-running the pandemic play.

The NFL has worked very had to get fans back by dialing back the BLM bullshit. However the one thing that does not escape my notice is the recent influx of the gambling platforms and sponsorship. Now that gambling is legal I am sure there are hands on the scale to use Vox’s term that are determining the outcomes. This may have always been the case but now with Billions at state it must be more prevalent.

“ Migrants refuse to leave NYC hotel for relocation to Brooklyn”
“ The new shelter is at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal. Mayor Adams announced last week that the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal would be a migrant mega-shelter. It will hold up to 1,000 single adult men.”

Right. Because when you house 1,000 military age single men together, they have all day to train together, 24/7/365.

“…they will be rigging everything.” Reading yesterday’s comments on this got me thinking. —The dropping of W7 on 9/11. The owner, a person of a certain tribe, just bought these properties, took out a HUGE insurance policy on them–and these buildings were destroyed–in front of God and everybody! And they got away with it.

Who have been the commissioners of the NFL? A certain Tribe.

They rig everything for money. When the point is made in yesterday’s comments on the HUGE amount of betting going on–well, it has to be controlled and its outcomes controlled to suit the bettors. I have NO doubt that the hugest bets are made by Jews, and they control the outcome to make the biggest haul ever. Everything is rigged–because…MONEY.

“One thing I will say which could point to Trump and DeSantis working together – Trump has yet to give him a nickname, which would be the official kiss of death”.
Already has – “Ron DeSanctimonious”. Which doesn’t mean they couldn’t be working together. DeSantis could have been flipped on the quiet, or might have been a white hat agent all along. I’ve made this point before here, there likely has been in place a professional, highly organised and sophisticated patriot intelligence service for decades now, maybe much longer, maybe going back as far as the JFK assassination or even longer. The alternative is to believe that there were no good men of power and ability willing to organize clandestinely to do something about the massive treason, assassination and industrial scale child rape and sacrifice they knew was going on around them. I think that’s highly unlikely. This article from 2017 talks about Trump planning to establish his own private intelligence network to counteract the deep state https://theintercept.com/2017/12/04/trump-white-house-weighing-plans-for-private-spies-to-counter-deep-state-enemies/
It’s inconceivable Trump would slip up and tell his enemies in advance what he planned on doing. He was warning them of what had already occurred. If so, this organisation has been running deep cover sleeper agents in cabal ranks for decades. For many it’s probably been a lifetime commitment, groomed into the organisation at a relatively young age with the task of infiltrating the Cabal power structure, gathering intelligence and conducting ops.
So who’s in this organisation? It’s anyone’s guess, but Tulsi Gabbard is a good candidate and who knows, maybe Mattis, maybe Milley, I wouldn’t rule any name out because if they are in the patriot network, they’ve spent their whole lives playing a part. Trump would also treat them publicly as if they were Cabal, to maintain their cover.
So, anything’s possible with Ron DeSanctimonious.

To fight White supremacy, San Francisco eyes paying each qualifying Black resident $5 million.

  1. California will be flooded by Blacks migrating from across the country: the second great Black migration;
  2. Every adult Black will get $5 million; as will every Black child as it reaches adulthood (age of majority yet to be known);
  3. This will not only include intact families, but every baby-mama and her brood: will baby-mama and sperm donors demand a cut from each child as it reaches maturity?

Those “oppressors” who can leave the city & state will do so leaving the poor trapped Whites and Hispanics to pay for this; no wonder California wants to tax those who leave the state.

Nobody voting Republican is doing it because of their ad campaigns. We’re just voting against the other face of the Uniparty.

But hundreds of millions of dollars of “campaign contributions” go through the RNC, and *most* of it can be siphoned off absolutely legally by Federal Election Commission regulations. They don’t even have to steal it, though I imagine plain old habit leads them to skim some anyway.

Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

Turn off the firehose of money and equipment to Ukraine and end the various “bailout” programs, and we wouldn’t have any budget problems to start with.

Biden will probably make the promise to “connect to spending cuts.” He can make it because he doesn’t have the Constitutional authority to do a damned thing about it, even if he wanted to, which he surely doesn’t. The RNC will high-five each other and strut around some press conferences, Biden’s sock puppet will brag about how he’s “reaching across the aisle”, and we’ll continue to get screwed by both sides.

No sympathy whatsoever, no matter which face of the Uniparty they represent.

Every single one of them got a briefing on what classified documents are and the procedures for handling, keeping, and returning them before they were allowed to see any. They simply ignored it the rules and kept them anyway.

Further, there are levels of classification; at higher government levels, many of them are numbered, and every single copy is supposed to be accounted for. Each office or individual giving them those documents failed in their legal duty to account for them.

Long ago, Congress awarded itself the power to issue and enforce subpoenas, just like the Judicial Branch.

I’m old enough to remember the Falklands War, when practically the whole of the Fed and media, from the New York Times down to magazines like “Soldier of Fortune”, were saying the Brits didn’t have a chance in hell of going up against Argentina, and all they were going to do was waste a lot of money and lives before they crawled back to England with their tail between their legs.

I also remember the attempts to try to re-cast Argentina’s defeat into some kind of victory, which came across just as stupid as it sounds, while denigrating the Brits for being warlike bastards who wouldn’t peacefully let Argentina nip off a chunk of British territory.

Granted any other Prime Minister since WWII would have probably offered Argentina reparations as well as giving them what they wanted, but Aunt Maggie wasn’t having any of that on her watch.

Have since learned what Op Granby (Desert Storm) and Op Grapple (Yugoslavia) were, Had NO idea at the time whatsoever, consider myself lucky to leave relatively unscathed.

FcUK indeed!

> May 11th the official Covid emergency will finally end according to Biden. I saw this and thought it weird, as they need a virus for the election in 2024.

Nah, they’ll just ring monkeypox or murder hornet back in. Or even admit “died suddenly” is real and should obviously be dealt with via masks, lockdowns, and maybe national ID and travel permits this time around.
We can’t just let the proles go wandering around anywhere they want, unwatched, now can we, comrade?

My bet’s on admitting “died suddenly” is real. Blaming Trump’s Operation warp speed – he pushed too hard, too fast. It’s Orange Man Bar’s fault and totally not Pfeizer’s. And then Biden or his replacement will offer everyone effected Pfeizer’s new anti-myocarditis drug to “save” them. Because “look we’re the good guys. We swear.” Then everyone who keeps dying from suddenly can be blamed for not taking their meds correctly, big pharma get $$$ both causing the problem and “fixing the problem”, and big daddy gets everyone to vote for it or cover for faking the votes.

They might even try to do a reverse psychology ID thing by saying it’s too dangerous for the vaxxed to fly and you have to prove you’re unvaxxed to travel by air- getting the unvaxxed on a central registry.

> Joe Biden rules out sending F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine.

Sending $64M F-16s is silly when you can send $136M F-35s.

Remember, 10% for the Big Guy.

Plus the maintenance costs for the F35 are many times what it costs to keep an F-16 in the air, and that ain’t peanuts either.

> Twitter makes a move to offer a payment service that could take out ‘woke’ PayPal.

Musk was one of the founders of PayPal, so he could probably do it. But moving from woke PayPal to woke Twitter wouldn’t help anything.

> Saying gun owners don’t need a government permission slip to protect their God-given rights, Florida’s House speaker proposed legislation Monday to eliminate concealed weapons permits.

A couple of decades ago Florida blazed the trail rolling back state restrictions on the Second Amendment. But they’re sadly behind the curve now, as almost half the states have Constitutional Carry and don’t need no steenkeeng permits.

Such as my state, which went Constitutional a while back. I renewed my carry permit anyway, for recipricocity, and because were a backward hater racist state that requires, not just voter ID, but state-issued photo ID. The poll workers always get a kick out of it when I pass my CHCL over to them, and I usually get the opportunity to mention that the card is just a formality, because we don’t actually need them any more. It’s amazing how, not only did blood not run in the streets, most people don’t even know they can carry a gun if they want to. And, yes, we can carry at polling places too.

I’d like to see Bolsanaro troll us by applying for asylum based on a credible threat of him being made a political prisoner and jailed in dangerous prisons in Brasil.

He has a better case than nearly all those crossing the southern border now.

BTW, isn’t that a British general in that pic?

“COVID crisis officially ends May 11” – no, that would be a “lie.” This particular “crisis” still has several years to run.

A few years back, California was in the grip of a bad drought. Their dams were almost empty. Then a miracle occurred! Just like with this year, there was a month of rainstorms that filled those dams! All the way to the top! All of em! And IIRC, The State of CA didn’t call off their Drought Emergency. They LIKED having all that extra power & authority, you see. {As a almost-never-reported PS, they very very quietly released almost all of that miraculous water back into the ocean. They dumped that water out of the dams. Just like they’re going to do with this latest water miracle. Just like they’re going to do next time, too. Watch it happen, rubes. WTF are you gonna do about it? You gonna elect a republican? LOL} Probably a lesson in there somewhere.
