  • Jörg Haider, Austria, died car crash
  • Pym Fortuyn, Netherlands, murdered shot
  • Theo van Gogh, Netherlands, murdered, slit throat
  • Lech Kaczyński, Poland, died, plane crash

Then there are those arrested, or facing arrest when they become likely to win elections.

The UK is now out of EU, but run by EU operatives. Nigel Farage survived a Plane Crash and car brake sabotage. Multiple people arrested for “hate crime” end up committing suicide, or getting murdered in prison.

Good article on on-shoring cpu manufacture.

https://wccftech.com/tsmc-us-operations-are-booming-right-now-as-all-fabs-are-reported-to-be-fully-booked/

The worry that this over-all process is a decades long endeavor is just an assumption that the Bush Faction will not allow their actors in Congress to assisst DJT in removing the counter-National Security regulatory system.

The process will take precisely as long as and look exactly like what the Bush Faction wants it to look like.

Because of their hold on their ppl in Congress, they can set the rules. The players will then optimize under the given rules.

Good news is that even under the fubar’d current rules that were designed (with Bush Faction support) to prevent on-shoring, the process (at least in chips) is flying along.

Interesting point madr that the “global chaos” DJT is causing has become a forcing-function. Specicfically, the uncertainty as to our (US) ability to secure the sea-lanes is doing a lot of work.

I really do think Fetterman is being positioned to become the leader of the DEM party. He is playing a role like DJT. And very very likely the same people are backing him. He is “pro-Israel” but in the same way DJT is and that is from the Chabad angle. So, he’s not “pro-Israel” from the counter-Netanyahu angle.

I know this sounds insane. But using my eyes and not what the media tells me to see, I see a guy who was freed from his Cabal Control. And a guy who says absolutely normal and reasonable things. And he’s no dummy. Moreover, he LOOKS like America. That’s a gut-punch but “it is what it is” and undeniable. His visibly broken health is the modal situation.

He is to me clcearly part of the RFKjr/Tulsi wing of the larger project behind DJT.

My side makes the mistake of thinking the DEM party is 100% and uniformly Cabal from top to bottom. Logically, that can’t be true. Cabal does not want it to be true. They want to play the game from a hidden minority position.

The other side wants out from under Schiff and Pelosi and Leticica and Epstein etc etc very much too. If one looks with ones eyes one sees most of them bewildered by what has happened and suffering huge dissonance.

Just try and look at Fetterman through the lens of “everything I have bernntold about him is wrong”.

Tickerguy discusses pharma and Trump’s failure to arrest and prosecute pharma CEOs:

Section 1.  Purpose. The United States has less than five percent of the world’s population and yet funds around three quarters of global pharmaceutical profits. This egregious imbalance is orchestrated through a purposeful scheme in which drug manufacturers deeply discount their products to access foreign markets, and subsidize that decrease through enormously high prices in the United States.

Trump forgot “and 15 USC Chapter 1 specifically states that“:

Every contract, combination in the form of trust or otherwise, or conspiracy, in restraint of trade or commerce among the several States, or with foreign nations, is declared to be illegal. Every person who shall make any contract or engage in any combination or conspiracy hereby declared to be illegal shall be deemed guilty of a felony, and, on conviction thereof, shall be punished by fine not exceeding $100,000,000 if a corporation, or, if any other person, $1,000,000, or by imprisonment not exceeding 10 years, or by both said punishments, in the discretion of the court.

I don’t find the solar-interference theory persuasive. I think cyberattack is more likely, and Russia is obvious. Spain went down because they lost frequency sync between solar inverters. They use “out of channel sync” which these days means an internet connection. All Russia would have had to do is to DDOS the addresses used to sync things, and the connection would drop.
No idea what they would have down to London, but I suspect they have attack surfaces miles wide and paper thin on their infrastructure.

It’s hard to tell if it was designed that way from the beginning, or if the Fed *never* follows up to make sure things they’re funding are actually doing what they got the money for.

Would you fund something without having some feedback mechanism to see if the money was actually spent as you intended? You’d want some metric to show it wasn’t just being blown on cocaine and hookers. And you’d probably hire an accountant to make sure all their spending was accounted for. That sort of thing is called “due diligence.”

Of course, Congress isn’t spending out of their pockets. They’re spending from *our* pockets. So why bother with diligence? They’ll send someone with a gun to arrest you if you don’t pay the taxes they demand.

I fell asleep while commenting on this one yesterday. Apparently I didn’t submit my comment. They in no way “buried” The reports. They were passed along to the perpetrators. This works with cabal or cartel world view. You’re paying people to take down Intel. If you’re not using it as intended, you can sell it to someone. If it was being buried, someone would naturally sell it to who it was implicating, because they knew the powers that be, who were funding the hot line didn’t want the problem dealt with. Less probability of being called out for inappropriate.

Then you get into the question courts have traditionally waffled on – “what is ‘pornography’?” As in, “let’s have an enforceable legal definition” as opposed to the famous “I’ll know it when I see it.”

Are exposed female breasts pornographic? What about manboobs? How about on African natives or Fiji Islanders? What about ancient statues or more modern art? How about medical textbooks? It quickly turns into a mess of exceptions and special cases.

Breasts as porn: biologically and noticable world-wide, the normal nursing timespan is about two years. When official policy limits that to two weeks (or not at all) the female breast will become a titillating factor (sorry), when otherwise it would just be part of the normal female gestalt which would not become fetishized

Nonsense.
Naked female breasts are sexually attractive in all cultures no matter how long they breastfeed.

Even just partial exposure like cleavage is attractive, just not enough to be porn. (if all female sexual attraction was porn we’d have to go full psycho muslim with the tents with eye slits.

Excessive exposure to porn does result in desensitization, but that’s not a good thing.
You can look at your wife’s bare breasts, but her running around nude or topless all the time would be harmful to her attraction and the marriage.

If the devil is going to quote scripture to his profit he should do so in a way that’s not so easy to refute.

Any nudity in any medium where the female breast, male or female genitalia, or buttocks are partially or fully exposed and are being touched by the subject, another person, animal, or object… would be a decent start.

No images of children’s genitalia, buttocks, or anuses at all except in printed – not online- medical textbooks showing medical irregularities.

It would make some overreach in the opposite direction but it’s worth it.

I have seen many photos of females, clothed, that are far more titillating (sorry) than the average fully nude photos of much more attractive females. It has something to do with negative space.

Supposedly 6% of Britain’s power comes from cables from Europe. Presumably France, which is a major nuclear power generator. I guess the question is “which 6%” London is on.

I’m more inclined to suspect “unforseen failure” or “sabotage” than the current “uneven supply of green electricity did it” explanation being cast for the Spanish collapse.

On a related subject, given how critical the power grid is for the military and defense contractors, it seems strange that most, if not all, power plants in the US are not able to cold-start. It’s like the telephone problems after the Nashville exchange was bombed a few years ago. Hel-loo? Oak Ridge was hanging off that, among other things. It would seem to be rather important.

Stuff like that makes me wonder if the Cold War was ever taken seriously. Remember SAGE, which was the giant radar and comm system that was going to be the command center for WWIII, but didn’t work? Operation Sky Shield, which simulated a Soviet attack using USAF and RAF bombers? It intercepted all of the USAF planes, and zero of the RAF ones. Oops. How about Star Wars, that (literally) never made it off the ground?

I’m generally pleased with Nixon’s presidency, but in retrospect, opening trade relations with Communist China looks like a bad deal. And then the Chinese rode that horse into the ground, whipping the USA like a red-headed stepchild.

I wouldn’t be completely against cutting China off from US trade, period. But from a more practical standpoint, some balance needs to be restored, and it was completely braindead to let China be an effective sole source for so many products sold in the USA. That’s that the trade boards were supposed to prevent, but it looks like they were do-nothings too.

I’m betting that if Zelenkeskyyyyyyyyy comes to Turkey and shows his ass and blows up the talks with Putin, Hungary will have taken it over before he can even fly back. Once there is another front open, all hell will break loose in The State Formerly Known as Ukraine. The Transnistrians will move to take Odessa (with Russian support), hell, Poland might jump to retake its territory to its south. If it does, Belarus might jump to take Kiev for itself.

The Ukraine people will need to accept “their loss” for what the corrupt government started and got beat for. They will do better under management of the other nations anyways.

Hungary isn’t looking to take a huge bite out of Ukraine like Russia. Transcarpathia in Ukraine is only about 60 miles deep, 75 at the most, at an initial width of 50 miles and 100 at the end.
They don’t need a bunch of sat intel and such to make that dive, especially when Ukraine is pinned in the east.
In any event, why wouldn’t Russia back them?

“The oldest intelligence trick in the book. Set up a cover op which appears designed to help any threats to you, so threats to you go to it for help instead of somewhere else.”

This is the exact reason why i’ve always promoted in person, face to face, personal charity, instead of relying on institutions whom you cannot trust.

There was a good discussion in yesterday’s comments regarding the postulate, “if cabal was eliminated today, in 50 years it would be reconstituted”. These things need to be taught in the schools. Kids need to have explained to them honestly and frankly, all the techniques of manipulation, power, projection, and exploitation.

But who am I kidding? Such an education would only be beneficial to a moral people. Teach such things to today’s kids, and the majority will probably take what they have learned and be off and running.

In the 1980’s the BBC helped set up an organisation called Childline where abused kids could call and report their abuse. It was headed by a yenta called Esther Rantzen, who just happened to be a very good friend of Jimmy Saville.

AC nailed it with his explanation of what these organisations are really for.

Nothing is ever what it seems.

Look at it this way: pedos will naturally gravitate to where their victims are. School counselors, coaches, child psychiatrists, state Children’s Services outfits, church youth groups; any organization that deals with children in person, but particularly “troubled” ones.

It’s blatantly obvious. So, oversight on that sort of thing is… basically none, even though some of the perpetrators have decades-long histories of complaints.

Which means there’s a whole different top-layer organization that’s protecting them.

Making as many good people immune to such a thing as possible should be the goal. Even God in the Book of Kings orders things which are Politically realistic and Pragmatic and lines up a lot according to what Machievelli observed about how fallen human politics actually works.

Without said actions being evil in that context.

A short read for gun Anons, but it is weak sauce for any NFA reforms. Suppressors (and sbr/sbs as well) should be over the counter transactions like buying any other parts or accessories to gay up your guns with. As if the NFA does anything about the Chicago glock switch weekends as it is now. wtf? This republican majority congress is just the same type of cocksuckers we have had for decades already. It is all so tiresome.

DNI Tulsi Gabbard says Biden-era domestic terrorism policy ‘must end,’ calls it an abuse of power
Dissent is patriotic again: Just the News reported last week that a June 2021 domestic terrorism policy memo allowed federal agencies like the FBI and Homeland Security to surveil and question Americans if an agent believed they had been involved in “concerning non-criminal behavior.” Gabbard is nullifying that policy.

So I’m reading the article on Sean Combs and something does not sit right with that case. You have a male stripper testifying to Combs beating his girlfriend, yet nowhere is he being charged with assault, battery or aggravated battery. In fact, his defense attorney should be objecting to the testimony on the grounds that it is merely prejudicial, since his client is not on trial for any of those crimes. Even the hotel videos would be inadmissible because he is not being charged with any of that. Yet, the prosecution, despite having sla-dunk evidence, never added those charges?

Then you have the actual charges: “five felony counts of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. If convicted on all counts, he faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years and could face life in prison.”

The problem is that sex trafficking and racketeering are economic crimes, crimes where Combs is somehow making money from an illicit activity. And why, pray tell, would he need to make money on prostitution and blackmail when he is supposedly worth hundreds of millions of dollars? How is he profiting from any of this? What exactly is the money trail here?

Then you have the claimed civil suits by over 50 women for sexual abuse, even though “sexual abuse” is a crime and not a tort.

The whole case is starting to look like a fake CIA trial, probably designed to advance the usual “men-are-pigs” project.

Sexual assault is both a tort and a crime in most (maybe all?) US jurisdictions. Sometimes the sexual part is an aggravator to assault, sometimes sexual assault has a standalone definition/s. Just like there is criminal murder and tort wrongful death. Sexual assault tort claims are usually also pursued under general assault and battery tort provisions as well, because it is easier to prove “offensive touching” (defendant doesn’t have to know you were or would be offended) than “lack of consent” (defendant had to know you weren’t consenting).

That really doesn’t sound right. Yes, there is a distinction between wrongful death and murder, because death can be caused by negligence and such. But what is the negligent version of sexual assault? There really isn’t any. Sure, states can have a tort claim attached to sexual assault, but not in the absence of a criminal case.

Remember the cabal kitten gambit?

Dutchsinse just deleted tons of his Youtube community posts all the way back to 3 years ago for whatever paranoid reason, and it turns out he got a special delivery cabal kitten:

Just rescued a baby kitten (maybe 8-9 weeks old) just old enough to eat real food…… stuck in the inner workings of a dumpster delivered to our house.. not just inside a dumpster, but inside the inner housing somehow. Using bright led flashlights from my bugout bag, got light inside the steel tubing, put food outside the entrance to waft in, put a trickling water fountain also outside the hole… the little angel was lured out, but then went back in!!!!!!!!!! Listening today, kitty mewing in a different part underneath where I could reach my hand barely !!! I managed to grab a hold, hoping to not injure it. And now the cat is in a safe place in our home. Not exactly a happy camper at this point, but hoping they will warm up to us. No name chosen yet, don’t know if a boy or girl Hopefully healthy and uninjured.. so far so good

Cats are an excellent bioweapon vector. They already can infect you with T. gondii, which cross the blood-brain barrier and is impossible to remove from the brain. It might work for delivery of a mind control or quick dementia bioweapon to, as it is basically already a mind control virus (crazy cat ladies are a biological reality, expression of t gondii is testosterone mediated).

Steer clear of cats and of people who loooooooove cats

The legal team advising the Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, Hugo Motta (Republicanos–PB), is preparing a response to the Supreme Federal Court (STF) following the Court’s decision to proceed with the case against Alexandre Ramagem, Jair Bolsonaro, and six others accused of attempting a coup d’état.

In the document, Hugo Motta and the Chamber of Deputies’ legal team argue that the decision by the First Panel of the Supreme Federal Court (STF) constitutes an encroachment on the Legislature’s authority to suspend legal proceedings against members of Congress. The petition further asserts that such a decision should only be made by the full bench of the Court.

We filed a motion this Tuesday with the Supreme Federal Court (STF) to uphold the vote that suspended the criminal proceedings against Deputy Delegado Ramagem (PL-RJ).

Through an Allegation of Violation of a Fundamental Precept (ADPF), to be judged by the STF’s full bench, we expect the votes of the 315 deputies to be respected.

Harmony among the Branches of Government only exists when everyone plays in the same key and is in sync.

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) confirmed that Brazil’s First Lady, Janja Lula da Silva, spoke with Xi Jinping and admitted he was the one who raised the question about TikTok. He also stated that the confidential State conversation was leaked by a member of the Brazilian delegation and pledged to address the serious security breach

According to the Brazilian head of state, the question was asked during a private meeting with Xi Jinping, attended only by government ministers, Senate President Davi Alcolumbre (União Brasil–AP), and other special advisors from each political group.

“How did this question reach the press if only ministers were present? Someone had the audacity to call someone and reveal something that was highly confidential. I was the one who asked the question, not Janja \[…] The question was mine, and I did not feel uncomfortable. My wife is not a second-class person; she asked to speak because she understands social media better than I do,” he stated.

Lula further explained that the matter discussed with the Chinese president was about the possibility of sending a Chinese government representative to talk about regulating digital platforms, “especially TikTok.” Lula wants to establish a central authority to regulate information, where all communication flows on social media would be monitored by the State.

I ran across this excellent site. I have complained constantly about the monopolistic Oligarchs time after time. But it’s worse than even I thought. This guy has a site and he covers, it’s heartbreaking, the vast monopolistic coverage of most everything in country one way or another. Unless this is stopped then there will be no manufacturer build up, no better health care, no better anything. What is happening is finance, and you know who I speak of, is raking off all the profit off of everything and driving prices through the roof in almost everything. Have a look.
