News Briefs – 04/08/2022

Here are some news stories that might be of interest. Most articles will be more or less summarized in the headline. You can skim the headlines and summaries, and click the links if they are of interest. Keep in mind, many of these reports are products of an unreliable news media, so although they will be what people are hearing and talking about, there is no guarantee any one of them is necessarily correct, and we have had cases of outright lies make it onto these pages.

Georgia governor Brian Kemp and Lt gov Geoff Duncan block election integrity measures again – Bill would have allowed counterfeit ballots to be detected and electronic votes to be verified.

Mike Lindell says he has evidence that all of the overseas ballots and military ballots in 2020 were tampered with and the votes all went to Biden.

Durham files motion to compel the Clinton Campaign, DNC, and Fusion GPS to produce material they withheld based on “attorney-client” privilege, saying FUsion was hired to dig up dirt, not provide legal advise.

The two fake Homeland Security agents trying to penetrate Secret Service had ties to Iran and Pakistan, and the building they supposedly blankets with surveillance was home to lots of federal agents in sensitive positions. They are speculating possible Pakistani intelligence, like the Congressional IT guy Imran Awan, though someone else though it might be Iranian and Biden was covering it up for fear it would disrupt the new Iran deal. Interestingly they were supposedly busted by US Postal Inspection Service.

FBI memos suggest the Bureau runs spies/assets in the media, as well as places such as congressional offices, courts, churches, other government agencies, and the White House. It is called the, “sensitive informant program.” No idea if this is what I see, but it certainly sounds right, if it was expanded up to about 5-10% of the population, and you added a “sensitive technology program” which included live eavesdropping in church confessionals broadcasted to a permanent archive, and monitored by local archivists who updated everyone’s files with what was confessed. Notice that the CIA jumped in and said compromising the FBI program would compromise it’s intelligence gathering and sources  as well. They are all part of the program, and working together. Then the judge refused to order the FBI documents on it be made public, due to “national security concerns.” Dollars to donuts, the judge is one of them, because this thing has nothing to do with national security, and everything to do with national political control. You can see how there is no point in trying to be a whistleblower, when the very people you are trying to blow the whistle to, are reporting right back to the corrupt agencies you are trying to expose. I know I sound crazy to some on this site, but I do not lie to you about any of this, nor do I try to make it sound bigger than I think it is. Indeed, if I bend the truth at times, it is merely to not delve fully into just how massive I think this thing is, because I think the vast majority here would think me too far gone to take seriously on anything else. This thing will be bigger than anyone would believe. And nothing worked the way you were told. Also, the article says they have surveillance video of a second male exiting the Ryder truck in Oklahoma City after McVeigh left.

“ABC will be interviewing a rescue worker who is going to state that ATF had stored a large amount of explosives in the MURRAH BUILDING, which contributed to the explosion… The rescue worker had contacted the FBI with this information, and was told by the FBI to keep quiet.” Any story which acts like there were a few explosives there accidently, and doesn’t discuss Sgt Terrance Yeakey and his “suicide” after claiming to have seen unexploded charges against support columns inside the building after the blast, is just blowing smoke. But it does make you wonder if there is more coming out, and this is a limited hangout.

Then the Ukrainians hit the bases with artillery, and there are no more Russians. After which, presumably all the Ukrainians are coming out of their houses and dancing in the streets.

Black Peace Corps volunteers who applied were warned to be prepared to be called the N-word and face other racist behavior while in Ukraine, according guidance on the Peace Corps website that is currently being discussed on social media.
 
From the article:
 
“The warning builds on the recent reports of discrimination against African students in Ukraine, choosing to study in the country for cheaper living and more accessible education.”
 
It is my hope that the Ukrainian and Russian people can find common ground and eventual peace by kicking out these invaders.
 
“Their understanding of African-American culture is fueled by the media and African stereotypes.”
 
All stereotypes are based on truth. It’s how they came into existence in the first place.

And why not?

“African-American culture”, such as it is, is entirely an artificial creation. And we have the Soviets and mass media to thank for that; the KGB was behind a lot of the race-unrest and civil rights rioting from the mid-1960s (cf. former KGB general Oleg Kalugin) and the media picked it up and ran with it in the early 1970s.

People think there was “African-American” culture before that; there wasn’t, not as such. Black “culture” was was practically indistinguishable from that of whites at the same economic levels.

The FBI officially admitted that in the 1960s; it was originally part of their counterintelligence operations. Remember, the while the CIA is forbidden to spy on Americans in America (wink-wink, nudge-nudge), that’s part of the FBI’s official duties.

Lindell keeps making announcements about forthcoming revelations which never seem to happen. While I have no doubt the overseas ballots were tampered with. If you remember the election in 2000, when we found out how most states deal with them (poorly), they’re a particularly low-hanging targets. But I’m not holding my breath for another Lindell non-event.

This never ending game of empty promises that yield no results is beyond tiresome at this point. It’s a bad joke.
Seriously, the whole stolen election, the endless theatrics surrounding evidence of it and possible disclosure, the actionable material that is never acted on… it is proof positive that our system is totally broken.

FWIW, here is one person who thinks you are 100% correct, about surveillance, about Cabal recruiting and manipulation, and about the fabricated “reality” inflicted upon us.

The vast majority of people, even (especially?) those on our side, are not psychologically prepared to see the actual reality. In the case of people on our side, they are too decent and moral (IMO) to consider as real the magnitude of indecency and immorality inflicted upon us.

> The FBI boosts its social media surveillance technology.

The FBI was monitoring usenet newsgroups and mailing lists in the 1980s. When web forums came along they tried to write their own tools to monitor them. Then came “social media”, and they started issuing RFPs for someone – anyone – to come up with a “solution” (IT speak) for the problem.

They’ve been through a lot of systems, most of them *much* more expensive than “Babel-X” and its teeny $27 million budget. I think even Palantir has taken a shot at the problem.

The NSA also monitors social media, forums, blogs, mailing lists, and even usenet, and they’ve had the same problem: collecting the data is easy enough given their authority and budget, but “Big Data” hasn’t been all that helpful at identifying and predicting terrorist attacks, criminal activity, etc.

Sure, they can troll the dataset for keywords and apply some second-stage filtering before passing the data off to a human, but they don’t have unlimited manpower, and a lot slips through their fingers. And there’s so much, and more coming in all the time, that even working backward from a known event isn’t easy. They can turn the spotlight on someone and light them up like jacklighting a deer, log every keystroke and swipe, location, and anything said near a microphone or seen near a camera… but that’s after the fact. That doesn’t help them when angry Congressman demand to know why, if they can get all that information, they didn’t identify the problem ahead of time.

This is a tangential reason behind why I’m not at all terrified of a hypothetical future where AI dominates as the only real tool of cabal and predicts every possible angle of resistance before it’s even taken. As long as there are 11 year old script kiddies uploading 500 terabyte zip bombs to every media upload slot on the internet and as long as there’s free to use DDOS tools that can be made in any easily accessible language on the web, etc., the world can never be overlorded by computers.

They will forever require a human element at some level and to some degree; the free human mind will always find an exploit for any artificial system they create. And if there are people behind the problems being caused by cabal, they can be stopped.

Possible, but McVeigh’s truck bomb was *quite* sophisticated, not even in the same class as the IRA or Palestinians. The Wikipedia page on the Murragh bombing has surprising amount about the bomb design.

Nowadays you can find all the demolition information you want on the web, much of it from convenient .gov and .mil pages and publications. Back in 1995, that was god-level demolition work.

Durham files motion to compel the Clinton Campaign, DNC, and Fusion GPS to produce material they withheld based on “attorney-client” privilege, saying FUsion was hired to dig up dirt, not provide legal advise.

Interesting as hell. Notes:
I thought that this would be about the crime-fraud statute (you can’t protect communications that enable a crime, it’s about defending you after you commit the act.) It’s actually based on it not being legal advice under (love this) Blumenthal v Drudge.
Durham notes that Fusion GPS opened themselves up to libel suits by rushing the reporters. Top kek.
Joffe was allegedly the client, but the bills all went to the Clinton Campaign. Smells even more strongly of RICO.

> Unsafe levels of URANIUM have been detected in two-thirds of public drinking water in the US with those in the Midwest and South most at-risk.

Note the OSHA maximum permitted exposure to uranium is zero, even for “depleted” uranium. DU is only slightly radioactive and harmless if external; the alpha particles won’t penetrate your skin. Internal, it’s bad juju. Plus it’s chemically toxic as well.

The Fed and various state authorities have been tracking uranium and other fallout constituents since the 1940s. The last A-bomb test was in 1992, thirty years ago. For “unsafe levels” to show up in “two-thirds of public drinking water” probably means Columbia University is using OSHA limits instead of AEC limits. Or making their own up, of course. Columbia has so thoroughly shat itself academically, why not?

Also note that detectable levels of uranium is naturally occurring in some ground water; it is picked up from trace uranium content in some rock formations.

Columbia University’s next paper will probably warn people that their drinking water contains dihydrogen monoxide, which can cause serious health issues.

> If Finland and Sweden decide to apply for NATO membership

Huh. I’ve looked at the list of NATO members before, and never noticed Finland wasn’t one of them. Given Finland’s long history with the Russian Empire and Soviet Union, several wars of independence, and the Winter War, I would have expected them to have joined up as soon as NATO’s primary aim was redirected from Germany to the USSR.

(no, despite what umpty media flacks and bloggers have bloviated, NATO wasn’t created to oppose the USSR. The USSR was at the table in the beginning, and could have been one of the founding members, except both France and Germany declared they would not be part of any alliance including the USSR, which was then essentially voted off the island. The USSR retaliated by creating its own alliance, the Warsaw Pact. This is all documented in exhaustive detail in Dean Acheson’s autobiography, “Present at the Creation.” Acheson was Harry Truman’s Secretary of State, and was tasked by Truman to create NATO. Truman wasn’t impressed by how that “United Nations” thing as turning out; he set up NATO as insurance against the US having to back over to Europe a third time to bail their ungrateful asses out of trouble. And that’s why the US still provides most of NATO’s funding, though I think NATO has served its purpose and is long past the point it should be retired or passed off to the Euros to mismanage by themselves)

I remember 1980, when the local TV and radio stations were on the air at four or five in the afternoon, telling people not to bother to go to the polls, Carter was so far ahead voting would only be a waste of time.

Somehow Reagan managed to bitch-slap Carter 489 to 49. After the final count came in, the media simply changed their story and pretended they’d never said anything else.

My brother noticed the same thing, listening to the radio while he was on the way to the poll after work in 2004. John Kerry had it in the bag and the media was calling for Bush to resign to save the poor poll workers the hassle of counting more ballots. Somehow Bush managed to win anyway, 286 to 251. They came a lot closer to tipping the election that time.

since 1948, there have been 4.5 obviously crooked presidential elections leading to – by my count – 2.5 coups. 1948, 1960, 2000 (that’s the ‘.5’ election. that one was such a banana republic clusterfuck, nobody has any idea who really won), 2012 (I’ll go to my grave believing that the vast majority of normal people despised barky, and damn sure didn’t want any more of his bullshit in their lives) and of course 2020.

but that’s actually not the depressing part. the depressing part is when you realize we started having crooked elections no later than 1824 – when the country was all of 32 yrs old. which was to be expected, I suppose: the weakness of a system like USA democracy is that the smart guys figure out how to game that system within 1 generation max. *sigh* it’s really kind of a miracle we made it this long.
