From here, don’t buy Ring Doorbell Cameras:

The week of last Thanksgiving, Michael Larkin, a business owner in Hamilton, Ohio, picked up his phone and answered a call. It was the local police, and they wanted footage from Larkin’s front door camera.

Larkin had a Ring video doorbell, one of.., 21 Ring cameras in and around his home and business, picking up footage of Larkin, neighbors, customers and anyone else near his house.

The police said they were conducting a drug-related investigation on a neighbor, and they wanted videos of “suspicious activity” between 5 and 7 p.m. one night in October. Larkin cooperated, and sent clips of a car that drove by his Ring camera more than 12 times in that time frame…

They asked for more footage, now from the entire day’s worth of records. And a week later, Larkin received a notice from Ring itself: The company had received a warrant, signed by a local judge. The notice informed him it was obligated to send footage from more than 20 cameras — whether or not Larkin was willing to share it himself…

This time, Larkin wasn’t able to choose which cameras he could send videos from. The warrant included all five of his outdoor cameras, and also added a sixth camera that was inside his house, as well as any videos from cameras associated with his account, which would include the cameras in his store. It would include footage recorded from cameras he had in his living room and bedroom, as well as the 13 cameras he had installed at his store associated with his account.

The amazing thing is, if it is in his bedroom, I would bet you his neighborhood observation post has used the backdoor which all of these things will have, and appended video of him having sex with his wife to his file. What dumbass installs an internet enabled camera in his bedroom?

Whistleblower: FBI agents colluded to illegally intercept Proud Boy defendant’s communications with his own attorney.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Sunday that the federal government would not bail out Silicon Valley Bank, but is working to help depositors who are concerned about their money.

Bernie Marcus: ‘Woke’ Silicon Valley Bank was ‘more concerned about global warming than shareholder returns.’

Silicon Valley Bank employees made large donations to Biden and other Democrats.

Some Dem tech investors who have spent millions of dollars currying favor with the Biden administration are furious about what they call the White House’s utter lack of help over the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank. And then the administration caved:

The Biden administration said Sunday that it would guarantee all deposits at the now-shuttered Silicon Valley Bank but insisted the move was not a taxpayer-funded bailout, while regulators closed a second institution, New York City’s Signature Bank, amid fears of an unfolding economic crisis.  Basically they are going to simply use FDIC insurance money to cover it all, as I understand it. So banks purchased $250,000 per account in insurance, and the government just unilaterally upped it to unlimited insurance per account. It is a bit like every person buys a million dollar life insurance policy, and the government announces it will pay out ten million dollars per death, just to make everyone happy, even though it will only be able to do this for the first people who died, and those who die later may get nothing as a result. Really, I would expect nothing different from r-strategists, or this corrupt government.

PNC decides not to bid on Silicon Valley Bank as regulators struggle to find rescue buyers, source says. Shades of Binance looking over FTX, and seeing there was much more fucked up with it than was being made public.

Rep Thomas Massie reports, he was on a zoom call with the relevant agencies about Silicon Valley Bank, and Democrats are asking how the government will censor social media about the story, so as to avoid any bank run.

Oversight Chair James Comer: We have documents proving Chinese Communist Party paid Biden family.

And : Republicans on the House Oversight Committee have been working with four witnesses with close ties to the Bidens, who have provided documents and other evidence tying the Bidens to the Chinese Communist Party.”It’s as bad as we thought… Since we’ve last spoken we have bank records in hand. We have individuals who are working with our committee,” Sounds huge, but it could be somebody associated with the CCP paid Hunter as part of the business stuff we have already seen. They have a strategy whereby they repeatedly get your hopes up and let them down to wear you out. We almost had Clinton more times than I can remember.

A group of at least 1,000 migrants rushed the Paso Del Norte bridge linking Mexico to the U.S. in El Paso, Texas, on Sunday, to gain access into the United States, video shows.

Noncitizen voting quickly becoming standard practice in Democrat-run cities.

From here:

Blue Cross Blue Shield pays pediatricians $400 per fully vaccinated child. If your pediatrician has just 100 fully-vaccinated patients turning 2 this year, that’s $40,000. Yes, Blue Cross Blue Shield pays your doctor a $40,000 bonus for fully vaccinating 100 patients under the age of 2. If your doctor manages to fully vaccinate 200 patients, that bonus jumps to $80,000.

But here’s the catch: Under Blue Cross Blue Shield’s rules, pediatricians lose the whole bonus unless at least 63% of patients are fully vaccinated, and that includes the flu vaccine. So it’s not just $400 on your child’s head–it could be the whole bonus. To your doctor, your decision to vaccinate your child might be worth $40,000, or much more, depending on the size of his or her practice.

Five Senate Democrats could retire ahead of the 2024 elections in America, relinquishing their seats to fresh faces as Republicans seek to gain control of the upper chamber.

Its Fox News. I’ll drop this comment here since it came up. I don’t think there will be an election in this country in 2024, but I also didn’t think there would be elections in 2020 and 2022, so my track record on this isn’t good. Someday I will be right.

This is how to look at federal elections. The following 18 states have complete blue control, meaning Democratic officeholders, election officials, legislatures, the works:

New York
Connecticut
Rhode Island
Massachusetts
Vermont
New Hampshire
Maine*
New Jersey
Delaware
Maryland
Michigan
Minnesota
Colorado
New Mexico
California
Oregon
Washington
Hawaii

These are completely “fortified” to elect Donks and will elect Donks. Its important to understand that this is regardless of what the adult citizen populations want, and I think there are only actual Donk majorities in maybe New England, Hawaii, or Maryland. But who the candidates are are irrelevant. The one possible exception is Maine, which is quirky enough to maybe buck the trend and which does have one country club Republican Senator. All the other states have Democratic Senators (including two that “caucus” with the Donks but are technically independent), so the Donks are not picking up any Senate seats from this group except for Maine, and that one won’t come open until 2026.

These three states have Democratic officials in charge of everything, but Republican legislatures for the time being, but its the same deal except for Wisconsin. Wisconsin has seen some pushback and I think it can be salvaged. Wisconsin happens to be the only one in this group that has a GOP Senator, who just got re-elected, and they tried hard to take him out, and their Democratic Senator is up for re-election in 2024 that that is a legit, but difficult GOP pick up. The others, forget about:

Pennsylvania
Arizona
Wisconsin*

There are two more states that have country club Republican establishments, who are delivering their states to the Donks, as what happened in Arizona. I think they will both be completely blue this decade. Georgia already had two Democratic Senators, Alaska has two Republican Senators. One just got re-elected but will probably switch parties, the other is not up for re-election until 2026:

George
Alaska

Biden carried all of these states but Alaska, and he should pick up Alaska in 2024. Again, I’m pretty sure there won’t be an election in 2024, but if there is one Biden will be re-elected, unless you see WEF types arrive at Mar a Lago in the next two years to negotiate with Trump.

The remaining 27 states are pretty solid for the Reds and even for MAGA. Ohio, Indiana, North Carolina, and South Carolina have country club Republican establishments, and will be the next ones after Georgia and Alaska to be targeted, but I think the only one where they have a real chance of succeeding is South Carolina. Louisiana and Kentucky have Donk governors but the populations there are just too red. They might try for Arkansas, but same thing. Even conceding South Carolina, that only gets them up to 24 states, so they have long term problems in holding a Senate majority. Obama carried North Carolina and Indiana in 2008, but that election was the only presidential election after 1976 where either went Democratic.

Virginia is a special case. Biden carried it, it has two Donk Senators, but it elected a slew of GOP statewide officeholders, some MAGA, and a GOP legislature. I think they are losing their grip on VIrginia, and they even tried to cheat in the last statewide election as in Arizona and failed.

Davos and the Donks have a problem. They are defending more open Senate seats than the GOP. They still have some Senate seats in states where they don’t control the election machinery and can fortify the elections. There are only two incumbent GOP Senators from Biden states (Johnson and Collins), neither are up for re-election in 2024 and Johnston just got re-elected. They can flip the Alaska seats, but they are not up in 2024, though Murkowsksi is a party switching prospect.

So the Donks can’t add to their Senate majority. Expect a lot of media hype over the GOP seat in Indiana, where the incumbent is not running, and Kentucky if McConnell dies on them (his replacement will be a Donk, but will have to face the voters in 2024). It won’t amount to anything. In 2024 they are defending seats in Ohio and Montana where its clear they can’t fortify the elections, and they have tried, and these were carried by Trump by large margins. Just winning these and holding the seats they have would be enough, and even the GOP can handle this. They are also defending seats in Wisconsin, VIrginia, and Maine, where they have control, but it is somewhat shaky, and the GOP did just win statewide races in Wisconsin and Virginia. If the GOP were smart, they would find a strong candidate for New York, likely an open seat, not to win but to pin down Democratic resources to defend it.

I think the Cabal will eventually make the call that they have gotten as far with American elections as they can get, and flip the table over. I just don’t know when.

If you read this, you can ignore all mainstream media coverage, and even Bannon’s stuff, going forward.

The problem with South Carolina and Alaska is the same problem with Arizona and Georgia.

Step back and take a look at the Democratic Party. Historically, the Democratic Party was a machine politics party, but developed a reform or liberal wing. In the 1980s and 1990s, the machine base took a corporatist or neoliberal turn, and then eliminated the reform element from the party completely. Biden, and the Clintons, epitomize the machine or corporatist tendency, a modern representative of the reformist tendency is Robert Kennedy Jr., this used to be a big deal but individuals that still have this tendency are either politically homeless or have switched to the Republicans.

With the Republican Party there is a country club tendency, and then everyone else, populists, nationalists, most traditionalists, a few libertarians (though people calling themselves “libertarian” are usually straight out country club or corporatist types, but not always). The thing is that the more populist wing or MAGA is still a force in the Republican Party, and that was probably Trump’s main contribution.

The country club Republicans are close to the machine or corporate Democrats in terms of policy, and you see that where they control the state Republican parties, they just start helping the Democrats, at first under the table, eventually to when they just hand the entire state government over to the Democrats. The complete process just happened in Arizona. Georgia is well on the way, and they will probably get a Democratic governor once Kemp leaves. Of course both the country club Republicans and machine Democrats are closely tied to the Cabal, but the Cabal didn’t gain complete control over the GOP.

So any state where country club Republicans dominate the state party, and there is really no populist or MAGA challenge, is in danger of flipping to the Democrats outright, like Arizona is. The process is almost finished in Georgia. From what I can tell, the most vulnerable state parties are Alaska, South Carolina, North Carolina, Indiana, Ohio, and Arkansas in that order. Other commentators may have better information. I think this can be fought in South Carolina, but I just don’t see many prominent politicians identifying themselves with the populist wing within the state party. Or really any.

Remember its not who votes, its who counts the votes, and country club Republicans will steal the state election for Democrats rather than watching populists get elected.

We are still very much playing defense, and have just begun to do even that. Its important to stop the Cabal at less than 25 states. They have problems with legislatures (not just in the USA) and fewer than 25 states mean they lose the Senate eventually. There are a few avenues of counterattack in the blue states, but the Cabal has to be stopped in the red ones first.

Btw, I forgot about Manchin’s seat being up in West Virginia, so the Senate outlook is better than I thought. They will have to rely on outright party switching to keep control in Congress. They are running out of runway with the ballot fraud.

Vox Day has a good article about the ‘anakyklosis’. https://voxday.net/2023/03/12/anacyclosis-in-action/

Actually, it was not Polybius that broached the subject but Plato at the end of his ‘Republic’. The cycle of governments match the deterioration of man. It is the laws of nature, or Natural Law, of “Parts make up the Whole” and “Macrocosm/Microcosm”. Socrates

In The Republic, Plato writes:

“Must we not acknowledge, I said, that in each of us there are the same principles and habits which there are in the state; and that from the individual they pass into the state?—how else can they come there? [i] .

“Do you know, I said, that governments vary as the dispositions of men vary, and that there must be as many of the one as there are of the other? For we cannot suppose that States are made of ‘oak and rock’, and not out of the human natures which are in them, and which in a figure turn the scale and draw other things after them? [ii] .

“…for as the government is, such will be the man.” [iii]

[i] The Republic, Plato, trans. By B. Jowett M.A., Vintage Books, NY. Sec 435; pg 151 [ii] The Republic, Plato, Sec 544; pg 293 [iii] The Republic, Plato, Sec 557; pg 311

This is why Arete is important. Lycurgus commanded Arete in Sparta–and Sparta never suffered the Anakyklosis! And that is precisely what is wrong in Christianity, especially in the Catholic Church when not a single cleric or Catholic adheres to the teaching of II Peter 1:5 “Supplement The Faith with Arete”. Aristotle notes that ALL people in a society need to be taught, trained into Arete. Church Crisis: Lack of Virtue
https://www.academia.edu/42105298/

The cycle of governments is not “Monarchy, Aristocracy, Democracy” —BUT “Monarchy, Aristocracy, POLITIEA” which is Mixed Government–which was the government of Sparta. The Romans translated Politeia as ‘republic’. As Plato says in the Laws–Sparta had a TRUE politiea–a True republic. I did a dissertation on this:

Classical definition of a republic 5th Rev.
https://www.academia.edu/5280564/

A republic is Mixed Government! I also show how the Kyklos works. That All three governments Monarchy, Aristocracy and Classical republicanism will digress into Democracy. Let it be noted that All the three forms of Government that Aristotle defines as Good–Monarchy, Aristocracy, and Politiea (Republic)—have Hierarchy. Aristotle notes that Democracy is the Bad form of government.

Monarchy, Aristocracy, Democracy are ALL simple forms of government. The Classical republic is highly complex and intricate. The Classical republic is the mixture of the three simple forms of government–and that means one MUST have a Caste society in order to have a true republic.

Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn, in his books The Menace of the Herd, Liberty or Equality uses the terms kyklos, anakyklos and ochlocracy to describe European politics. I think he is the only one that does.

No. Not true. Sparta fell for one reason and one reason alone. The Men continued to strive away. Suffering a life harsher than most others. Unrelenting training and toil. Continuing to fight. No, Sparta fell because the one job Spartan Women had to do, have children, they refused to do. Sparta ran out of Men and were defeated on the battlefield leading to a snowballing of consequences that destroyed them. If they had had more Men, it would have never happened. Look at the population figures. They are unequivocal. There’s no arguing with the numbers.

Those things happened to Sparta because of its errors.
Their rigid class structure meant that you could fall from the warrior class but you could not rise into it, that meant they could not replace their combat losses or the losses from falling birthrates.
Their slaves made life too easy for their women and contributed to their corruption and the falling birthrates.

“…Their rigid class structure meant that you could fall from the warrior class but you could not rise into it…”

I’m not sure if this is entirely true or not. I’ve read a good deal of stuff on them where the people writing about the Spartans attack them in every way possible. The people doing this appear to have heavy biases to me. And how exactly is it that they have this information?? Hell if I know. They may just be making it all up. One thing we DO KNOW and is a fact and DIRECTLY related to the loss at the battle of Leuctra to the Thebans is they didn’t have enough Men. There were just a smattering of actual Spartans in the battle. The bulk of the army was largely comprised of conscripted allies. Read about the battle. Most everyone else didn’t do much of anything. The main battle was to off the Spartans and then the rest, not having any love for them, just quit. Why people can’t see this when it’s so plain defeats me.

Everyone who talks about the battle of Leuctra goes on and on about brilliant tactics but totally ignores the simple fact that the Spartans had few Men and all the rest of their force were subjects, mostly. The people the Spartans were fighting against were earlier enslaved by the Spartans so if they lost, they lost everything. All they had to do, and did, was concentrate all their force on the few Spartans and when they were defeated then the rest would quit. And that’s exactly what happened. So while these other people may be right, may be wrong, we damn sure know that the Spartan Women did not have enough children to make up a viable fighting force. And after they lost, they could not keep their slaves down…and it all fell apart.

Now saying slavery made their Women weak, well maybe that’s true, maybe not, but they had slaves for what, 300 years or so. So that explanation didn’t work for that 300 year period, so is it valid at the end??? We don’t know but as an explanation for why they fell it seems a little sketchy to me for it to only take hold after 300 years. And it’s also not like just about everyone back then had slaves because they didn’t have combustion engines or any sort of power but slaves and animals.

Something corrupted their women.
I’m open to other ideas.
But in the harsh ancient world it might take 300 years for the rot to set in.
The Spartans had more slaves than most other societies so the effect was stronger.

Or you could say that something corrupted their men so that they didn’t drag their wives into the bedroom.

Perhaps both sexes just lost any interest in having many or any children, taking all the boys away to be raised in collective barracks might have had something to do with it.
Again, I’m open to other ideas.

What we do know is that it wasn’t just random chance that their birthrates dropped too low to keep up with their losses.

“…The Spartans had more slaves than most other societies so the effect was stronger….”

I’m not so sure they had any more than Athens. Spartan slavery was less onerous than in Athens, where they could kill their slaves with no recourse. Slaves in Sparta were owned by the State and there were laws not to mistreat them. Of course, all the ones that they thought might rebel were killed off every year by the Krypteia(secret police).

To find out,”I’m not so sure they had any more than Athens.” I searched and found a paper. It says,

“… In Sparta, the government and voting was held by select elites. These elites would most likely make decisions for themselves, without considering the well-being of other citizens not wealthy enough to vote. This would be undesirable for Spartan slaves and common people as their voices are not heard…”

What stupidity. The Spartans should let the people who do not fight, and their slaves make their laws? People really hate the Spartans. They will make up all kinds of bullshit about them. All Spartans citizens, you know the ones that do the fighting for the State, could vote. There was no secret vote. The equivalent of the Senate in Sparta, EPHORS, only held office for a year, so they had to be careful because they would be living under the same laws they made very soon.

The paper says,”…William Westermann describes the ownership of slavery in Athens as being owned by families and individuals, not by the city-state as a whole. People in Sparta on the other hand became slaves primarily through being captured following battle. Spartan slaves, also known as helots, were, in contrast to Athenian slaves, held captive by the State…”

What a boob. Like being owned by individuals is somehow, “enlightened”, compared to those evil Spartans. He doesn’t even get it right that the helots were not recently captured. They had been there for hundreds of years as slaves. A fool. His paper is a study in imbecility.

We could have a “a True republic”. Our Constitution was modeled somewhat on the Spartan government. With a few laws passed at the Federal level, we could have it back. The Republicans blew it. Threw it all away when they had a Republican Senate, House and Trump in office. They could have passed a handful of laws and ruled for decades at the very least.

Earlier they were picking them up right off the ocast of Libya and taking them all the way to Europe. Why they didn’t confiscate their ships for smuggling, I have no idea. Maybe the Jews wouldn’t let them.

Regarding surveillance
A neighbors kids who have been raised Christians, when starting middle school (junior high we called it) have been subjected to so much harassment, bullying and chaos one had to transfer and the other’s truck sports a large window sticker that says “Locally Hated”. The parents sort of take this in stride and muddle along trying to do their best. Sigh.

Judge orders man to pay ex-wife over $200K for 25 years of housework
Spanish judge ordered a man to pay his ex-wife $215,000 for 25 years of housework that she “exclusively” handled while they were a couple. Ivana Moral won the judgment after arguing she was burdened by chores for the couple during their 25 years of marriage, according to a report from WSB, citing the Spanish language newspaper El Pais. The court ordered Moral’s ex-husband to make monthly payments of $528 to his ex-wife, a sum that was determined by calculating the minimum monthly professional wage for housekeepers during the period the couple were married.

I figured out, I think, a contributing factor as to why my site wouldn’t always load https. I think it has something to do with when wordpress switched over to the block editing system. Posts that were written before that change were automatically put in something called a “classic” block. This more or less tries to mimic the old editing form wordpress used before the block system. I don’t know why, but it seems like the https doesn’t play nice with these classic blocks. I could be wrong, but any page I convert to the new blocks and update doesn’t seem to have problems going with https anymore. I just wanted to give a PSA about that in case anyone else has had that struggle.
Anyway, I was going through the old posts fixing this because whether or not your site shows up in search engines is related to if the page will load in https or not. I came across this old post I had forgotten about:
https://atavisionary.com/words-you-never-want-to-hear-surprisingly-you-just-won-the-lottery/
Which discusses an old reddit comment archived here:
https://archive.is/QB5QZ
In short, many lottery winners apparently face substantial levels of gangstalking and/or eventually go bankrupt. After reading you site for so long, my interpretations of this discussion are a bit different than they were when I first wrote the post.
1) Apparently some lottery winners are legit, since gangstalking cabal lackeys wouldn’t in theory be necessary as they would spend it as ordered. Unless some lackeys decided they weren’t going to play ball once they got the money and this was the response. Not sure exactly.
2) Some just spend the money poorly and run out, this I imagine seems more like what a lackey would do as he is ordered to spend it on this, and that etc etc.
3) Drug overdoses are common. Cabal lackeys are probably weak-willed and degenerate, that’s what makes them good lackeys, so I could see this happening with them.
You discuss fake lottery winners off and on pretty regularly, I thought it might be interesting to add some historical data to that idea. I am a bit puzzled about the apparently common gangstalking that occurs thought. You wouldn’t think that would happen so much if it was all completely rigged, and I wouldn’t guess lackeys to blow off cabal that often since in theory they know they are dead meat if they do.

I have played the lottery maybe five times in my life. Once, I had been reading about the Fibonacci numbers and noticed that an upcoming date, when written in the MM/DD/YR format, was the first few numbers of the sequence and went ha, ha, I should play the lottery on that day and use those same numbers. Went out and bought one of every ticket in my state, but passed up the City Lotto, because it was “only” 50K. The fateful day arrived, and guess what the City Lotto numbers were? Yup. Heckuva coincidence. I often think how different my life could have been had I been able to put 50K into crypto or physical silver, which was around $6/oz at the time and then shot up to $50.
Another time, my co-worker, a single mom who always played the same numbers (the birthdays of her three kids) for the big lotto got distracted somehow and forgot to buy her ticket. They drew her numbers and she missed out on 60 million. Maybe another unfortunate coincidence, or maybe they work to keep out people who are unapproved.

I just posted this article about this guy trying to publish an academic paper on greater male variability in intelligence. When I read the description of the concerted harassments he received and how heaven and earth was moved to, for allegedly the first time, remove his accepted paper from publication, then try to weirdly get a copyright claim on it so he couldn’t publish it anywhere else even though it didn’t physically appear in the second journal he tried I couldn’t help but think of you. It seemed SUPER coordinated with intel levels of following what he was doing. The whole story has intel written all over it.

There have been a *bunch* of news stories detailing how state lotteries have been rigged, some going back to the pre-internet days.

There have been a bunch more stories about the “bad luck” that seems to follow big lottery winners. Cancer, heart attack, or just dropping dead for no particular reason are high on the list.

Don’t assume the cabal spies aren’t also spied upon. It’s not like willing informants to the USSR and German beta versions of this surveillance didn’t get disappeared just as much, if not more, than the common folk.

If they have resources to watch me take a dump through my walls, they have resources to gang stalk a lackey who gets the keys to a couple million dollars of cabal money for sure.

That is what I am saying. These lackey’s ought to know that. So what? they just decided not to play ball in a bunch of cases? That seems odd to me, but I guess I am not a typical cabal lackey so knowing how they think may be a depth of distortion I can not plumb. The only thing I can imagine is these guys were just that short-sited enough, which is probably what made them temporarily useful in the first place.

“…just one day after convicted sex offender Jeffery Epstein started to serve an 18-month jail term in Florida as Inmate No. W35755 — his New Mexico “financial planning company,” called Zorro Trust, won the Oklahoma Power Lottery payout of $41.3 million and ultimately collected nearly $30 million in after tax winnings…”

Surely just a coincidence.

Of course the Oklahomopress says, no it was a some girl who worked down the street who just happened to make a trust called Zorro trust, like Epstein’s, and the Oklahomo press is letting us know Epstein didn’t win. Right, ok.

I am not sure, there are annoying things about it, but there are convenient things about it too, like creating repeatable blocks.
I think the trouble is that automating html may not always be that easy so it can be tough to get what you want sometimes. I do dislike how a lot of the formatting settings are hidden or hard to find. But if I ever really need something very specific, I can code a bit of html when needed. It just takes longer.

Since proud goys is likely comped and a honeypot this is probably a tactic by the bureau to save one of their informants while making the informant look legit. They want the case to be dropped/dismissed.

Could the banking thing be a big false flag? Signature Bank in NY was also shuttered, but its executives are saying there was nothing wrong other than a small run based on the general panic, and everything was stable by Sunday. One suggests it’s an anti-crypto psyop.

I would have no problem with setting up pillboxes and machine guns, and dealing with “migrants” the same way the East Germans dealt with border-crossers along the Berlin Wall.

Of course, that would require a government with the balls to close the border in the first place. Illegals became an infestation after WWII, but nothing was ever done. After 9/11 the Canadian border was closed… but the Mexican border was left open. And all the ridiculous TSA and CBP security theater apply to every country *except* Mexico.

The common sense way to deal with millions of foreigners flooding your border is exactly as you describe, and I believe you’d be hard pressed to find a real human that disagrees.

I’ve complained about how certain open source programs that are needed for Linux and BSD free software somehow…when they just start to get really innovative, start to gel and mostly need a little bug fixing, go off the deep end and destroy the whole thing or rewrite it completely or some cases quit altogether. Very suspicious. Now I read that,

“…It has recently come out that the creator of systemd (Lennart Poettering — who also created Pulse Audio), has begun working for Microsoft…”

https://lunduke.substack.com/p/microsofts-growing-control-of-linux

Now this “systemd” is a start up program that starts all the other services that Linux needs to work. It was really not needed and which after it was created proceeded to gobble up all the functionality of Linux such that it’s extremely difficult to use Linux without it. It mutated from a start up, like a virus, into a do everything hairball of vileness. This is fundamentally and totally against the basic principles of the system of Unix and subsequently Linux, a Unix clone. But nonetheless, this happened. And now if you don’t use this huge, massive hairball of an abortion, it’s difficult to stay up to date. Even worse, Linus, the person who started the whole thing, has been sidelined by the Globalhomo for being…mean. Opening the way for the Linux foundation to become, more inclusive. You see where this is going? How convenient that the hairball “systemd” got jammed into everything about the time Linus was sidelined. How convenient the guy who could call it out

“…The GNOME 3.8 desktop and newer now requires systemd…”

How interesting how the guys who had a fairly good working desktop, Gnone 2. Which was the last major piece of software needed to replace windows, at version 3.0 suddenly rewrote the whole thing, made the desktop software act like a tablet, took away vast numbers of options to change the desktop to your liking, pissed off, most everyone and mostly stopped all advancement of Gnome 2 which worked fine. How convenient, they now refuse to even work at all without the hairball “systemd”. Look at all this vile thing controls. Damn near everything needed to get Linux to work.

comment image?auto=webp&width=1280

Look at the original link I linked and see just how much of Linux and the open source movement Microsoft has gobbled up. They even give keynote speeches, because they paid, at open source conventions where they tell people basically, but cryptically, not to use open source. DAMN…
