Sometimes it is a bad idea when running surveillance to time your exit to your target’s passing:

Just as he hits her, a car goes by, he has them coming out of the side street at the top of the screen, and just as he is taking off, two cars pass in opposite directions after a decent dry spell, one perfectly following him. It sounds crazy to say he is under surveillance, and has vehicular. But it is not as crazy as it sounds. Marcus there, is interesting. Maybe even funny to watch. He drives around way too fast on the sidewalk on a gas-powered minibike way too small for him, which he can barely steer, almost like a clown at a circus. He drives at high speed into people and knocks them unconscious. Then he cleans out their pockets and goes through their packages to see if there is anything he wants, robbing them while they are out. Then he picks up and takes off on his little minibike again, as if nothing unusual happened, just another disaster waiting to happen, which really is kind of comical. I think most of the time, vehicular surveillance is bored out of its mind. It has nothing to do. So it follows someone. Now if you had to pick someone to follow from the neighborhood you are assigned to, would it be Herb, the junior accountant at a local firm, with his glasses, his bow tie, and his pocket protector, driving his wife’s minivan because it is practical? Or would you rather follow Marcus as he drives his too-small minibike over people, takes their shit, and then just goes about his day?

Police circumventing warrant requirements by purchasing data from private vendors. It is very much like Operation TIPS. You recruit every home heating repairman out there, every electrician, every plumber, and when recruiting them, make it clear it would be best for them to be on the side of the Secret Police, and not opposed to them by supporting freedom and privacy. And then, yeah, you don’t have to let the government into your house to search it and add the observations to your file, anon. But if your heat goes out on a freezing night, and you want it repaired, you pretty much have to let that government searcher in. And you cannot even complain or seek legal redress because they just make the membership of the informant network classified. Now, prove the repairman was a snitch for the Secret Police, before you can sue, and see how that goes. It violates the very spirit of what it is to be an American, to the point, the people who do it will be seen as the enemies of all regular Americans, if it is ever made public. Even before it comes out September 11th was them, and they were cool with it.

Former Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson has repeatedly pedaled a conspiracy theory that Donald Trump will be the target of an assassination plot, most recently saying in an interview the U.S. is “speeding toward” the former president’s assassination—an unfounded claim amplified by other right-wing media personalities. Is he delivering a threat from Cabal to Trump? Is he foreshadowing Q’s script? Is he just calling it as he sees it?

Omegle was forced to shut down by a lawsuit from a sexual abuse survivor. That would be the way it would look, if it was set up, too. Nothing says the victim and the perpetrator weren’t both in the conspiracy, and sent it to play out that incident, reading their lines from a script.

Guys daughter was targeted for grooming by an online predator, be tries to report it, and is told his daughter may be charged for child porn for taking pictures of herself to send to him. I remain unconvinced grown adults finding children attractive sexually is as common as it is portrayed. I do believe Cabal is out there, assessing kids for the spark, and trying actively to derail any they find, to a degree we cannot imagine, which includes grooming and molestation. To that end, I never thought about it, but making a child subject to child porn laws for photos they took of themselves, and having pedos request such pictures, almost as if a procedure, would be a great way to proceduralise protecting your molester assets. My guess would be those cops got a call on their cell phones way to that guy’s address which told them they had to close his call without any charges or report being filed, and just how to do it. If the guy hadn’t recorded it and posted it, nothing would ever have come of it.

Miss Universe owner files for bankruptcy after accepting transgender contestants.

A group of photos of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez exiting a dinner at Nobu, I believe, are here, here, here, and here. Mainly interesting, as if you zoom in on the hands, you see Sanchez taking the dominant leading hand position (remember I have said Cabal surveillance is a matriarchy, where the women are the dominants in most cases). Moreover, if not an AI image, it does not strike me as a loving romantic handhold, but rather the quick grabbing of the hand you would do with a child, when you want to move quickly, and just grab and go with whatever you get:

Kim (by Kipling) is set in 1885 India, a wonderful novel.

Throughout are descriptions of the British use of surveillance, mind control and manipulation, dissimulation, assassination, and development of obscure and surprising tech to gain surreptitious advantage.

There is nothing sinister about the book in the sense of modern surveillance and manipulation. Kim is about the British Great Game against Russia (!!!) and control of violent elements in India.

In contrast (for example) the Bond books give away nothing about “sources and methods” that could not be written by an eleven year old. In that sense, the Bond books were misdirection, although the existence of powerful secret organizations hinted at the truth (and From Russia With Love purports to be an accurate description of SMERSH).

Anyway, a thought occurred that AC’s information and analysis could be presented in a series of lectures, certainly including the means and methods that have been proven to exist, and fictional sources such as Kim and The Lives of Others which are indisputably accurate representations.

In these days where things are routinely absurdly presented as bombshells, a highly organized and academic (but written to be compelling from the start to finish) approach might help to raise consciousness.

You go retro, a little. You tape yourself on old school VHS tape, to give it the look of the guy on the TV in They Live or some other similar roughly-produced samizdat that evokes deeply-rooted memories of a Secret Truth Broadcast in a dystopia. You get 10 people around the country to rent one of those portable projectors that can fill up the side of a tall building, you play the video and audio together on nice portable amps in a crowded prime location. All illegal, of course, or rather, unpermitted by Cabal. So, also have a friend in each case recording the whole thing on a phone, so that there’s video of the video, and potentially video of harassment, police intimidation, surveillance shenanigans, etc. The potential of that to reach way beyond the silos is way higher than Yet Another Rumble Link Few Even Open Let Alone Get To See Because Cabal Is Custom Bubbling Us.

Re Carlson:

Cabal’s “necessity” to murder Trump IMO is obviously true.

Do they also have the means and opportunity? Also obviously true; opportunity is what these legal proceedings are all about – – foreknowledge of time and location, among other factors.

As time goes on, Carlson appears to actually be one of us. At least in this case (the murder) he is doing something people on our side rarely do, which is to establish what REALLY happened before it happens. Epstein did not commit suicide, but 1000X more significant.

Carlson is doing what we all should be doing. But this is just something our side just does not do.

Just your average Biden shakedown: 20 years ago du Pont heiress Lisa Dean Mosely gifted Biden a $34,000 membership fee to Fieldstone, the golf club she and her husband Christopher Mosely built on their estate in Greenville, Delaware. Before the club opened Christopher Mosely was convicted in the contract killing of the prostitute/girlfriend of his heroin addict stepson. He was caught because the killers he hired strangled the girlfriend in a Vegas motel and unwisely (but maybe deliberately because it’s really just the stupidest thing ever) stuffed the body into the rooms air conditioning duct. This is just how people at that level live, Anon, 1000 acre estates, building golf clubs, arranging murders of family members, bribing future presidents, etc…

Then again, if I owned a golf course, having a president as a member is good marketing and that’s the entire Biden douchebag grift.

She looks like the most busted up ex-stripper, but she somehow snagged one of the richest men on earth. And by all accounts, Bezos was supposed to be one of the exceptions to the rule – a succesful man that had managed to stay in a seemingly happy relationship with a women he married fairly young and had multiple kids with. But, as AC points out below, a “guy like him” isn’t prepared to deal with being pursued by a girl like this.

“Is he [Tucker] delivering a threat from Cabal to Trump? Is he foreshadowing Q’s script? Is he just calling it as he sees it?

When Trump came down the escalator and gave that speech–I, AND many others, thought he would be assassinated!!! The Threat is very very very real! Car bomb. Yes, it is commonsense–one sees the desperation on the Left, and their wild accusations—Hillary just came out AGAIN and called Trump Hitler–that is a signal to kill him. Scott Adams talks about this too! He says calling someone “Hilter” is a signal to kill him.

We live in a very brainwashed society. America is a Communist state–the people that run this thing are Communists! To them, Trump IS Hitler!

US military aircraft crashes in Mediterranean Sea after training mishap, ‘no indication’ of hostile activity.

N.O.R.M.A.L. I served on the USS Coral Sea (aircraft carrier), Marine Detachment, two West Pacs—We were constantly loosing planes at sea! Albeit we had F4s.

We lost all kinds of aircraft. One day, we had a firing exercise with rifles and machine guns off the fantail–and all sorts of sailors were running onto the fantail, strange, —until they told us a plane just went into the drink. Our CO shouted cease fire—and then two heads came bobbing by! Needless to say, our firing session was ended!

And again, before one port visit to the Philippines, to commence a change in the ship’s captain, we lost five aircraft; and after pulling out to sea with the new captain, lost another three! No loss of lives! One day, the deck crew managed to park one F4 off the ship!

So, loosing aircraft at sea—Normal.

I was in the AF and we lost planes too. I saw a F-16 crash. On landing, the landing gear folded. The center line tank exploded. BIG ASS BOOM. The pilot, a steely assed, together guy, took back off instead of sliding down the runway. He was headed to town and turned the plane away from the town and punched out. The whole time, the engine was sputtering fiercely.

Another time I saw an F-4 with a two-inch deep crease in the wing tank and mud on it. Get this, it came from the top of a mountain. They made it, but only by inches.

In order to be in the New Order one must have already attained peak cognitive dissonance. That is the explanation. Bishop Schneider does not believe the Dogmas on the Papacy because he is not Catholic, he is New Order. He promotes more Catholic beliefs than Jorge Bergoglio so I guess that’s controlled opposition right. That’s how these guys roll…they present you with your bad guys and they present you with your good guys. And it doesn’t occur to anyone that the Church probably should have a Pope and then go on a holy crusade to remove these Judeo-Bolsheviks from the Vatican.

RE: Trump targeted for assassination

They tried to shoot down Air Force one. He never goes anywhere they could setup a sniper shot on a regular schedule, so his unplanned jaunts to Veterans cemetery’s went off without incident. They have tried sneaking MKUltra windup toys into Mar-A-Lago multiple times. They only thing they haven’t tried is getting his own Secret Service detail to execute him, which seems to be what happened to RFK.

I’m going to say it in no uncertain terms – the prophetic people starting with Kim Clement on down have all said that he gets two terms. Whatever they try will fail until that is fulfilled.

I just watched Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead. Its a middling movie.

What is interesting is Marisa Tomei’s sex scenes. It leaves nothing to the imagination. Marisa Tomei is, I would suggest one of the greatest actresses, in the past 30 yrs. She doesnt need to show herself naked, especially for a mediocre mvie.
In one scene, after a doggy position sex scene, Philip Hoffman is casually brushing her nipples with the back of the hand, she is clearly aroused and enjoying it. They were clearly comfortable with each other, and probably, had just had sex.
I would suggest, there are 2 cuts to that scene. One for the plebs, and another, for Cabal, which leaves nothing to the imagination.

Also interesting, bing would not let me search on the unfiltered images

Figured you’d be interested in my latest beseeching-people-to-realize-Surveillance-is-real attempt on Lipstick Alley. I think you’ll have MAJOR success with that demographic, by the way, paranoid black women, because…they know what’s up, they’re mocked as Deluded Sheniquas, but actually, they’re more like the Least Fooled, the large subset of black chicks who are skeptical.

Somebody replied: “I hear what you’re saying. The indoctrination begins verrrrrrrryyy early on. I tend to think it’s just generational ignorance and/or programming being passed down, among other things, because the programming has been that effective. Meaning – it’s socially acceptable, and even encouraged, to continue to perpetuate so many of these lies – all the way down to the tooth fairy. It was passed down to our parents, who then passed it down to us – DESPITE knowing that they are participating in these consumer holidays/rituals. (They had to have their Santa Claus awakening at some point, yet continue the “tradition” with the next generation – why?).

Brings to mind that quote from “The Truman Show”: [ATTACH=full]3688549[/ATTACH]”

And I just replied back: “I don’t think I’ve rewatched this movie, ever. I think I saw it once when it came out 25 years ago, mayyyyybe chunks of it again on cable once a little later. It’s free on YouTube, so I’m about to watch it. With a whole new lens. Because we really are surrounded by a massive super-Stasi network of informants, provocateurs, and other weirdo agent types who conjure up coincidences and play subtle theatrical mind games with people, just like the people who claim to be gangstalking victims talk about, except they’re only aware of a tiny fraction of it, it’s way worse than even they know, and they are the poster children for 21st century paranoia. So, this movie was spilling WAY MORE TEA than anyone realized. Or was it “predictive programming” us, or “revealing the method”, and preempting disclosure of the horrifying reality growing around us by transforming it into a “You watch too many movies” ridiculous notion? There are millions of people watching some of us, just like the movie, except they’re not fans addicted to an invasive reality show, it’s literally their f*cking jobs, it’s what they get a check from the overarching Cabal to do, whatever that Cabal consists of, some cluster of total f*cking psychopaths, that’s for sure. I think we’d be absolutely stunned at how many people it involves. Think, like, 10 million. In this country alone. All pseudo-unemployed, or doing bullshit no-work no-show jobs but actually spying on the rest of us. I think we’ve been living in an invisible Jim Crow system, actually, where the premium positions in life get reserved for super-Stasi network cronies, and I don’t just mean the top executive upper class positions, I mean even middle management sh*t now, those roles get parceled out carefully to those in the club, too. The “big club”, as George Carlin said. He wasn’t kidding, lol, or he was describing something people laughed at without quite understanding his exact meaning. When he said big, people took it to mean that he really meant small, or big as in grandiose, perhaps, or large in a they’re-all-over-the-world sense but not in a total numbers sense, that’s counterintuitive to most people, we’ve been conditioned to think that secrets are hard to keep in a big enough group, someone will always talk. Hahahaha, BULLSH*T, secrets are kept among thousands of people all the time, secrets are kept in an extended family over generations, and just as I mentioned last year, we keep the Santa Claus secret from EVERY YOUNG CHILD IN THE NATION, pretty much, until they figure it out on their own or somebody slips up, but for YEARS children are systematically and successfully lied to by literally millions of people colluding with each other even when they are total f*cking strangers. Year after year after year. Think about that. And they do it for free. Nobody even pays them, lol. And it’s all communicated via mainstream media, hiding in plain sight, wink-winked at, so that there are two sets of messages communicated with the same symbols, one set subtly concealed so the young kids don’t quite understand, one set for the older kids and adults who are in on the joke, in on the conspiracy. So, if that is a massive, society-wide, coordinated network of volunteer conspirators we already all acknowledge as a mundane reality, then what would be implausible about a somewhat-downsized Truman Show Stasi network of incentivized recruits?”

good points. sadly, I too perpetuated the Santa lie, and the Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy, yet had figured it out by age 7. interesting observation how virtually everyone participates in these lies because why? it’s fun for the kids? it’s creepy, and teaches kids that older people lie, en masse.

And people take it so f’ing personally when you refuse to play the game. My parents raised me with “Santa is pretend, but we’ll pretend and have a lot of fun.” I thought it worked. I got to enjoy Christmas. But one day my dad took me to work around Christmas, and his boss asked me about Santa. I was about 4 or 5, and said “Santa is pretend.” This son of a bitch got very angry with me and started yelling at me about I better believe in Santa or some bullshit like that. I had no clue WTF was going on and reacted like a typical 4 or 5 year old: crying and trauma. I don’t remember exactly what was said because it was the late 70’s and I was little and I didn’t bother to take notes. All I remember is he got pissed and screamed at me because I told him Santa is pretend.

Later on when I had children, I told my ex I wanted to raise the boys knowing “Santa is pretend”. It royally pissed her off and we fought hard. I guess it’s the law that you’re suppose to start your relationship with your children by lying to them. Then they get older and figure it out, but have to lie to you that they still believe it for a few years. Whose stupid idea was this? I refused to play and let her be pissed at me. There are good reasons she’s my EX-wife.

Yep. It’s our first initiation into Conspiring. That’s the most insidious part, even more than the kids being lied to, it’s the kids being recruited to maintain the lie and keep the secret from the younger kids. Now recall that Santa is, functionally, a Surveillance op. I know many/most Christians will recoil at the thought, but perhaps what needs to die for the Surveillance to be exposed is the Santa tradition. It’s far, far removed by now from any Christian roots. He’s basically just a fantasy burglar-saint, All-Seeing Illuminati Judge corporate mascot who diverts more than half the credit for the presents that so many parents work their asses off to buy. Maybe Santa is one of the pillars of the Diseased Temple mentioned in Law Abiding Citizen.

It’s also meant to break children’s faith in any received wisdom from their parents, especially religion.

I think you’re the Anon who mentioned Lipstick Alley a while back and dropped a link. I had to make an account to see the thread but lost the link in the wait. Can you drop the link again?

Just look up Lipstick Alley, very easy to find. You’d need to sign up to lurk on the conspiracy subforum, which is relegated to the password-protected lounge area. For the love of God, do not post, lol. If you cannot resist posting, then post unambiguously as whoever you are, presumably as a white dude on the right, don’t pretend to be a black chick, lmao.

FWIW, here’s my Thanksgiving present to the AC commentariat, and/or those wise enough not to go wandering down internet tunnels in search of 10000 to 1 payoffs.

2 days ago, a commenter on this site linked to a substack? piece written by Aetherczar, a srsly bright guy who has written some *highly* original & interesting books. Aetherczar talked in that essay about how the world, despite the very best of intentions, always seems to go directly to hell while following the exact same patterns of failure as it always does, and he speculated some about why that might be. Part of that speculation was a short story he wrote that “exposed” the Chief Bad Guy/Real Power That Be as – I’ll not spoil it too much – as an immortal entity who wears a mask to fit in to our society, all while running the whole damn planet into the ground for his/its own purposes because he/it despises humanity. Note that verbiage.

THE NEXT FRICKIN DAY, VD posts his musings on the current ever-more-fucked-up-goings-on in the Catholic Church and its commie Antipope, as well as certain problems inherent to theology and its interpretations. He closed those musings thusly: “…. The world is observably ruled by an immortal being that hates Man, Jesus Christ, the Good, the Beautiful, and the True. …”

Which is, coming from another direction, almost precisely what the Aetherczar was saying. The odds of that happening purely randomly 24 hours apart are… pretty steep. Y’all believe it or not – I do recommend reading Aetherczar’s story before making any decisions one way or another – but I am inclined to believe that Things Are Happening Now. This year, you’ll have to go down internet rabbit warrens to find ‘coincidences’ like that. By next July, I don’t think that will be necessary. If you don’t want to listen to Wise Uncle Benny, then listen to Big Ern: “Slowly, and then quickly.”

I’ll skip trying to wedge the link in; the internet would merely laugh at me. Look in comments for 10 Nov; the original cmt + link is from Aetherczar, about 80% down the page. FWIW I’m not saying his theory is 100% correct – just that it would answer a lot of questions. See for yourself.

Vox makes statements like that on a weekly, if not a daily basis.

I thought Big Ern said, “Finally, Big Ern is above the law!”

Hey, Hemingway used to go shark fishing with a Tommy Gun while drunk off his ass. If that’s not above the law….

Or maybe it’s just the name?
