Who writes history? Who can say which is true or false? True history elevates the crimes (against humanity) of the Germans while downplaying the crimes of the United States, China, Japan, Russia. Note that the origins of propaganda and eugenics were not Germany, yet where are the associations made? All evil players should be condemned regardless of where the writers of history live. The Armenian genocide and Japanese atrocities are still denied in the mainstream today. As the Ukraine tortures and murders it's own people accused of being sympathizers, the American and European media turns a blind eye and labels mention of it 'disinformation'.
Watching Elon Musk troll the establishment and then watching them come after him is peak 2022. Even though Trump said he won't go back to Twitter now that he's been reinstated, the meltdown that his old tweets are visible is priceless. We need more meltdowns and I'm 1000% sure 2023 will not disappoint. This narrative that free speech is "the end of democracy" is eye-brow raising and it's almost as astounding that so few challenge it. FUCKING COWARDS. People who don't fight back against authoritarianism given past history *almost* deserve what they get in the end. I say 'almost' because I don't want to see it happen but I conceded that it's true.
When groups like the ADL and the SPLC are allowed to label people and have them essentially destroyed to suit a cancel culture, we do not live in a free society. Musk WILL live on his knee and will bend to their will in the end. That I'm certain of. If he allows Twitter to be taken down from the app stores and allows it to disintegrate into oblivion, he will get my full approval and admiration despite his globalist leanings.

PS5 Cloud version includes puberty blockers and a vagina hat. email from VPOTUS to a bunch of disappointed MBAs: "This email provides you with an update on the on-time Student Loan Debt Relief plan that President Biden and I announced on August 24th. We reviewed your application and determined that you are eligible for loan relief under the Plan. We have sent this approval on to your loan servicer. You do not need to take any further action. Unfortunately, a number of lawsuits have been filed challenging the program, which have blocked our ability to discharge your debt at present. We believe strongly that the lawsuits are meritless, and the Department of Justice has appealed on our behalf. Your application is complete and approved, and we will discharge your approved debt if and when we prevail in court. We will update you when there are new developments. The Biden-Harris Administration is committed to helping borrowers as they recover from the pandemice. Education is a great equalizer, and we will never top fighting for you!" Amazing to think the Dept of Justice doesn't have the backbone to tell the VPOTUS that even Cash for Clunkers had to go through Congress first to get passed as a law before it could rain cash.
resp:181 I can't tell whether that's real or a parody.
re #182 The quoted part is real.
Here's my rant for this morning: SBF = modern-day Epstein crisis for the establishment He's not in jail because he's under the rug. No one wants to lift that rug! 1000x Madoff (30 billion versus millions) and we are playing patty-cake - opening asking if regulators are allowed to ask him questions??? WTF??? Roll out the guillotine! "They can't touch him because crypto is unregulated." ~ Bloomberg talking heads Uh...crypto wallets operated as banks and are NOT CRYPTO ITSELF. Banks are regulated... we are being lied to. SBF used FTX as a piggy bank for the left and the left's causes and the bagholders are being ignored. It's one thing to be a stock market bagholder - risk/reward means no one should feel sorry for you if you fucked up. But having a bank account aka crypto wallet - there's no reason to expect any losses. In the meantime, iPhone Foxconn slaves are rioting. Guards are being the slaves as they escape. Rail workers may strike. I hope you guys have at least a month of food and medicine on hand. The stock market just defies gravity and fundamentals. The average joe is in line for beer. A football stadium-sized meteorite could be heading for NYC and people would still get in line for beer and lottery tickets. And the Covid queen, Gretchen Whitmer is wearing her mask in public again, signaling to the Covidians that it's that time again to get in line, take a knee, roll up their sleeves. I see morbidly obese cat ladies in the grocery store with a double-mask up to their eyes side-eyeing me. I resist the urge to violently cough at them. Where would be be without cats, romance novels, wine and television?" I'll have a XL McFlurry with M&M's, 2 big macs, 4 large fries and one large diet coke."
Should have read: "Guards are beating the slaves" PS5 cloud with vagina hats - LOL YES. When I engage with the gamer community on youtube, there is a substantial amount of them that are doning studded dog collars and nail polish. Mixed up outcast soyboys that have been prey upon in public schools. One day they are playing dodgeball, the next hosting drag queen story time. What world are we living in? Notice how out of nowhere we have LGBTPQ+ shootings? Student loan statement: How did Harris get anywhere in life? Seriously. She talks like we are stupid and she has not one accomplishment in her miserable life. Their answer was to extend the payment "relief" - allowing people to extend their debt slavery out to June. Everyone knows that before June it will be extended again. Shell game. Kick the can. But watch banks who service that student loan debt to beg for government assistance within the next year. Anyone want to place a bet on it? The banking liquidity crisis is looming. They securitized all kinds of bad car/home loans and now the normies are too broke from $6 eggs to make payments. Something must break. Imagine how the leaders of BRICS nations must laugh at the farce. We have tent cities and McMansions and the only thing that separates the inhabitants is debt. People look at the guy with the corvette and the mcmansion like he's rich. He's one job loss away from the tent. Then I keep hearing the left taunt that even though we have $100 billion for Ukraine, they just can't see how Social Security can stay funded. My wife disagrees with me but I can see the old codgers rising up if they are cut off from SS. And they should. If they were threatened by the mostly peaceful J6 protest, they will be in for a big surprise if they put senior citizens on the street.
SBF did what business people do all day every day. Investors got ripped off because they're greedy and thought they were taking shortcuts. Now, media is pointing out that the DNC got most of their singular donations from SBF (and Soros.) They are blaming SBF for their losses. To me, it's a distraction from the entire Titanic of a stock market about to capsize. SBF is a boogie man but the real villains are the ones killing off every strategic commodity the USA has built upon. The big stick in the eye are these videos of slave labor who are "so skilled" at slicing food, counting and packaging, and squirting sauces into containers. These videos are out there to dazzle Americans as if this is new and was never an American industry. We have at least 3 months supply of food and water. We live in earthquake land so power outages would mean electricity outages then ATM outages, food shortages, etc. Things will devolve quickly. California is not built for civility beyond 72 hours w/o power. Gretchen Whitmer is evil just like Newsom. And then the news about Jenny Granholm meeting for an hour with Bill Gates - nobody is blinking. Grift in everyone's face. Nobody is blinking. Everyone wants to stay in their shell and cross their fingers. LGBT shootings are nothing new actually. The most vicious murders were typically higher in the gay community (if you look at 80's & 90's FBI stats.) Let's be honest though, the perverts who prey on kids or look to groom them have always tried to work in occupations where they could get access alone with them. It's always been that way. It wasn't always talked about (like the Catholics or Assembly of G-d baptists) but today it's still happening and even moreso. Nobody wants to insult the gay community by pointing out that pedos are lining up for teaching jobs and feeling emboldened. Where are the adults in the room to kick their asses. In any other part of the animal kingdom, offspring are protected - in the DNC world offspring are thrown to the wolves so the parents can feel "woke." I dont really talk about all the drivers for why I joined the military but a bit of it may have been to have some formality, routine, civility, and a bit of job training. It was a known fact that job prospects would typically be better if one had some time in service doing something technical. It's not lost on me that student loan bailouts have no prerequisites like successful graduation nor gainful employment in a higher income bracket. There's no ROI for America. The ROI for a GI Bill school loan is obvious if not for the person to serve 2+ years on active duty but also to graduate and have a better income thus to pay higher income taxes. With the student loan bailout they're literally doing the opposite by wanting to only offer it to those who make BELOW a certain income. What am I missing with this? Senior citizens on the street - that reminds me of 1992 when I got off active duty and saw Gov Engler close down all the state mental hospitals - a good majority of the patients being elderly. A few years later I was working at Edison and alot of those former patients would crawl under my Chrysler in winter to feel the engine block heat while they sleep. I'm anticipating this to happen again but it will be VA hospitals. Obama/Biden totally screwed the VA last time and it's already happening now..the backlogs are getting enormous once again. Yes YES, feel your anger.
Really great point about ROI: student loans vs G.I. bill!!! Lower achievement is always rewarded. Starbucks union; pink haired DNC rejects unite to fight fascism , which is anything that challenges their world view. In the meantime real adults aka vets pay high taxes and are the subject of ire. Clown world.
Starbucks union is the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. The second funniest is the nonbinary bad actor who shot up the gay club being paraded out to the judge after the media went nuts claiming the shooter was a right wing homophobe. Funny in a "you hypocrites look very stupid"; not in a "ha ha people died" way. The poor nonbinary kid looks doped to the gills. I can't fathom any of it and am guessing the perp had a crap life and makes crap decisions and hormones were the icing on the cake for psychosis. BUT NO, WE WON'T TALK ABOUT THAT - THAT'S ANTI QUEER. SHAME SHAME! Put on our vagina hats and stick our head in the sand.
#188 The shooter was activated, I mean outraged (!) immediately after the drag club announced an all ages show (aka little boys in drag stripping). Literally one tweet announced the kid drag show and a couple hours later tweeted they were sorry about the shooting. The narrative no one will speak of is that not all LGBTQ are pedophiles and don't want kids being exploited. Here's a good one. New York is banning crypto mining. On the top layer, it's obvious the controllers/cabal/whatever doesn't want competition for the CBDC. On the second more sinister layer is the fact that it is now a matter of law in New York that the government can pick and choose who's going to be shut down due to "carbon". https://www.cnbc.com/2022/11/23/new-york-governor-signs-law-cracking- down-on-bitcoin-mining.html VERY DANGEROUS PRECEDENT.
re #189 That's ghost in the machine - how can they dictate who does what with a computer via what power source? If the person plugs their miners into a Tesla does that create a loophole? It's like POTUS saying "semi automatic assault weapons". What do either of those things actually mean.
The naked corruption serves two purposes: 1. It elevates the power structure and rewards compliance with treats. 2. It rubs American tax payers faces in the feces of the corrupt. FTX bought a one room "bank" that looks like a shed in the middle of farm-fuck Idaho with a valuation of $118 million. SBF bought the bank so he could launder real money and create money out of thin air by creating financial instruments out of debt. No opening of books required if you own your own bank. The tip of the iceberg. How many crooks were involved in this operation??? Now that he hasn't been given as much as a jaywalking fine and NYT has him as a keynote speaker with Yellen, Zuckerberg and others at an event! $30 trillion stolen from regular Americans and he's given legitimacy? The power structure is so threatened by all of this because FTX was used to fund Ukraine and Democrat donations (as well as Covid propaganda), I suspect next we will see people (witnesses and employees) start to DIE.
DNC PACs used crypt currencies to transfer funds for ads to keep the origins anonymous. Is it possible FTX going under was part of the burying secrets? "Sam Bankman-Fried, the young billionaire CEO of crypto exchange FTX, had been criticized for promising as much as $1 billion to support Democrats in elections, and then slamming his wallet shut." https://prospect.org/power/crypto-pac-questionnaire-claims-bitcoin-mining- good -for-environment/ Crypto PAC Questionnaire Claims Bitcoin Mining is Good for Environment by David Dayen Oct 27, 2022 Last Friday, Web3 Forward and Crypto Innovation, two PACs bankrolled by crypto industry leaders, announced that they would start running their first general-election ads starting in two weeks. Two weeks would take us to the Friday before the election, an inopportune time to begin a general-election campaign. But the announcement may have been intended to cover up a political liability. Sam Bankman-Fried, the young billionaire CEO of crypto exchange FTX, had been criticized for promising as much as $1 billion to support Democrats in elections, and then slamming his wallet shut. Bankman-Fried, through his $2 million investment in GMI PAC, indirectly funds the Democratic-supporting Web3 Forward. (Crypto Innovation supports Republicans.) His PAC pushing out a last-second ad campaign of at least six figuresa pitiful sum these daysjust as the criticism was coming to a head seems conspicuous. Interestingly, the PAC Bankman-Fried chose for this purpose is not focused on his stated priorities of pandemic preparedness and other long-term threats. Web3 Forward explicitly supports the business Bankman-Fried has grown rich in, seeking a clearer regulatory and legal framework to enable the broader open blockchain economy. A rare glimpse at how these PACs actually talk to candidates is even more revealing. The Prospect has obtained a variety of questionnaires from Web3 Forward, as well as GMI PAC, the primary funding source for Web3 Forward. Questionnaires are a way that PACs and issue-based organizations test whether candidates are on board with their policy preferences; they are often used to decide endorsements. They are also a way for interest groups to get information in front of future policymakers. The information these two PACs are giving candidates, as you might expect, aligns heavily with the desires of the cryptocurrency industry. But it goes even further than what the companies might be willing to say in public. A section in one questionnaire labeled Protecting the Environment claims that Bitcoin proof of work mining, which has been criticized for using extreme amounts of energy, is actually a boost to a clean-energy electric grid, while using 2.5 times less energy than the banking system per dollar of value. The Prospect asked Web3 Forward and GMI PAC to provide sources for this, but they have not responded. As the questionnaire even concedes at one point, the arguments appear to be based on theories from proof-of-work mining participants themselves. Independent energy experts have scoffed at the claims. The questionnaires have other areas of focus as well, like wanting to get the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) off the industrys back, and seeking special carve-outs and tax breaks for digital assets. The aggressive and at times questionable information these PACs are spreading demonstrates how money in politics really works. Regardless of the veracity of the claims, candidates are forced into the position of agreeing with or advocating for them as a condition of obtaining the funding necessary to get elected. Its a benefit our system gives to the rich that no town hall questioner or constituent enjoys. And seeing it up close is bracing. The information these two PACs are giving candidates aligns heavily with the desires of the cryptocurrency industry. GMI PAC LAUNCHED WITH $5.3 million in contributions in January, aiming to raise and spend over $20 million on the midterms. FTX Digital Markets CEO Ryan Salame (himself a major Republican donor, showing how FTX works both sides of the aisle), Framework Ventures co-founder Vance Spencer, and CMS Holdings co-founder Dan Matuszewski made up the initial board of directors. SkyBridge Capital, the hedge fund led by former Trump communications director Anthony Scaramucci, was also a founding donor. (Scaramucci did not respond to a request for comment.) Matuszewski called GMI PAC the crypto communitys campaign arm in a statement during the launch. Bankman-Fried had his own PAC, the pandemic preparednessfocused Protect Our Future, but he gave $2 million to GMI PAC in January. This was part of a blitz by crypto executives, investors, and venture capitalists, who staked PACs with at least $52 million through the end of May. GMI PAC never made a single ad on behalf of a candidate directly. It transferred $3.6 million of its funds to two other super PACs, Web3 Forward (which got $3 million) and Crypto Innovation (which got $600,000). However, prior to that it did spend some money on polling (using the Democratic-linked Public Policy Polling), travel, and consulting and strategy. GMI PACs website, which remains live, looks almost identical to Web3 Forwards, with the same design, about the PAC language, and mission statement (although GMI PAC talks about supporting candidates, while Web3 Forward modifies that to say Democratic candidates). The questionnaires from GMI PAC and Web3 Forward (they have version numbers attached to them, so there were several that changed throughout the election cycle) are also similar. Both ask candidates to support regulatory clarity for crypto, and a stable enough business climate that would keep blockchain and digital asset innovation here in the United States instead of pushing it overseas. That last comment is reminiscent of national champion arguments that Big Tech lobbyists have made, warning that other countries will reap the benefits of superstar companies if regulatory burdens make it impossible to grow stateside. It definitely features in [crypto] industry talking points, and we hear it mirrored back from [congressional] offices, said Mark Hays, a senior policy analyst with Americans for Financial Reform. Hays, who is skeptical of crypto, said he often responds by asking, Do we want to make the U.S. a home for a risky and speculative asset class that could spread contagion throughout the financial system? As is typical for questionnaires of this type, they also ask candidates to sign on to various bills and initiatives, which fall into a few different categories. The first is tax laws. The Virtual Currency Fairness Act would exempt cryptocurrency gains from taxation under a certain de minimis threshold (between $200 and $600), and the Keep Innovation in America Act would reverse reporting provisions for digital assets in the bipartisan infrastructure bill that the industry doesnt like. The SEC is another preoccupation. Two bills supported in the questionnaires, the Securities Clarity Act and the Token Taxonomy Act, would exempt some digital tokens from SEC securities laws, and another supported proposal, from Republican SEC commissioner (nicknamed crypto mom) Hester Peirce, would give tokens a three-year safe harbor from securities rules. Candidates were also asked to overturn two SEC rules they say would give the agency jurisdiction over decentralized finance (DeFi), and to sign on to the Digital Commodity Exchange Act, the House version of a bill that would give oversight authority over much of the crypto market to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission rather than the SEC. (Bankman-Frieds FTX has hired former CFTC commissioner Mark Wetjen as its head of policy and regulation.) One questionnaire also asked candidates to support a letter eight members of Congress sent to the SEC, seeking to back the agency off a federal investigation into the crypto industry. BUT THE MOST SURPRISING PART of the questionnaires was the positioning of Bitcoin proof-of-work mining as an environmental success. A study from the Bitcoin Energy Consumption Index found that one Bitcoin transaction uses enough energy to power the average U.S. home for 50 days, and mining overall uses as much electricity on an annual basis as Argentina. The European Union and several other nations have called for banning proof-of-work mining. The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy has said that it could hamper the battle against climate change. And the fact that Ethereum, another popular blockchain, completely reimagined their network in a way that reduced energy consumption by more than 99 percent suggests that some in the industry recognize the vulnerability of such extravagantly large energy consumption. But that sensitivity is reflected nowhere in the questionnaire, which seeks candidate support for proof-of-work mining. By some estimates, bitcoin validating and gold mining consume approximately the same amount of electricity per year, it states, with Bitcoin mining being cleaner because of the lack of physical pollutants. The stretch here is that [Bitcoin] offers the same kind of value, Hays said, given that Bitcoins inflation-hedging role as digital gold did not pan out when it crashed as inflation soared (while gold has a number of real-world industrial and medical uses). The questionnaire also estimated that bitcoin uses 2.5 times less energy than the banking system per dollar of value, though it kind of gives the game away with the caveat that the estimates were created by participants in the proof of work validation. Its unclear whether this is an apples-to-apples comparison, or whether it just compares Bitcoin mining to everything the much larger global banking system does on its own and invests in. A Greenpeace report about the financial industrys climate-harming investments was used in exactly this fashion by the website Crypto Potato. Hays also mentioned that the financial system can process thousands of transactions per second, while blockchain transactions are orders of magnitude slower. The best test of a currency is how fast you can exchange that currency, and the answer right now [for Bitcoin] is very slowly, Hays said. Regardless of the arguments, many industry participants continue to prize their tokens over the health of the planet. Proof-of-work was also described in the document as good for the energy grid. They provide baseload consumption for solar and wind power generators that otherwise are unable to sell significant amounts of their production capacity, the questionnaire states, and they stabilize electric grids by helping to balance production and demand. Ben Hertz-Shargel, an analyst with energy consultant Wood Mackenzie who participated in a debate on this issue, doubted the claims. Proof-of-work blockchains dont stabilize the grid, Hertz-Shargel told the Prospect. As baseload resources, they keep demand higher around the clock, raising power prices, grid congestion, emissions, and the risk of supply shortages. In the debate, he said that the idea that solar and wind couldnt reach other customers is a problem requiring investment in additional transmission, not proof-of-work mining operations that would siphon off energy to homes and businesses. We need transmission investments, not kind of essentially feeding sugar to the generators to keep them humming while we fail to deliver the energy, he argued. Some Bitcoin supporters have raised the idea that, by being able to turn off in an emergency, mining provides a flexible safety valve to the grid, eating up excess generation and going away when the grid is stressed. Hertz-Shargel saw this as somewhat preposterous: Abstaining from cigarettes every once in a while doesnt make smoking good for your health. Yet regardless of the arguments, many industry participants continue to prize their tokens over the health of the planet. Jack Dorsey, the co-founder of Twitter who now runs Block (formerly Square), briefed members of Congress about Bitcoin in March, telling them that the industry will always go toward where the energy is cheapest and most renewable, and was working on minimizing power consumption. However, he added, banning proof-of-work mining would give up security for Bitcoin users. To that, Dorsey said: We dont believe those trade-offs are worth it. WEB3 FORWARD RAN ADS for 11 Democratic candidates during the primaries, with eight of them winning. Most were in uncompetitive races that Democrats were also sure to win in November, making their belated vow to spend on endorsed candidates in the general election a little hollow. Only three Web3 Forward candidates are in remotely close races: House candidates Val Hoyle (D-OR) and Seth Magaziner (D-RI), and Senate candidate John Fetterman (D-PA). None of the three responded to a request for comment about Web3 Forward and the questionnaires. Web3 Forward has not said where their new round of advertisements would go. Its not clear that Web3 Forwards money made much of a difference in the primaries. In no race did it spend more than the $540,000 it did in Hoyles race. The $212,000 spent for Fetterman in the primary pales in comparison to the $137 million spent by outside groups throughout the Pennsylvania Senate race. But if crypto PACs were just piggybacking on candidates who were already likely to be successful, the information they disseminated could easily have a real-world impact. Candidates know that they could not only benefit from billionaire crypto titans spending in their races, but also be harmed by spending against them if they reject their wishes. That makes questionnaires important tools shifting policy at a critical time for crypto regulation. Its especially true with something as complex as Bitcoin, which also carries the promise of financial inclusion, as Dorsey mentioned in his briefing with members of Congress. We have an understanding that were reaching an underserved audience, he said. Its an old game that Wall Street firms have played forever, to say nothing of other industries: Use simple, unchallenged messaging and the lure of big money to reel in policymakers to their way of thinking, regardless of what that means for their constituents. I think its clear that the industry has learned the money-in-politics game well, even if its not crypto money but fiat money, said Hays. Financial regulation is difficult to grasp, even in the traditional sense. When you add crypto to that and the financial inclusion hype and a fat wallet behind it, candidates without understanding it are going to jump on the bandwagon first and ask questions later.
It's almost amusing as it is destructive that somehow voices of real people are sidelined by corporations, banks and twisted bastards using money and technology. There is no democracy in America. One thing that puts things like this under the radar for some and on the radar for others is the 'fact-check' industrial complex. Watch which issues and events are quickly 'fact-checked'. Even the Balenciaga child p0rn ads were quickly defended by 'fact-checkers'. There are all kinds of 'fact-checkers' running interference for Sam Bankman-Fried and FTX. The political allegiances are obvious, so what would really be interesting to me is who/what entity funds fact-checkers and how the 'fact-checking' disinformation priorities are set. The article above shows how crypto PACS are successful in obscuring these things. So many games but they all seem to back the same ideas, the same people, the same MARXISM. Missing from the FTX story in mainstream media is the fact that $30 billion dollars disappeared and it wasn't solely from hackers. Great lengths were taken to obscure where this money went. The biggest priority of FTX and SBF was buying influence to prevent the very regulations that would add transparency. Both the policy makers and the scammers were benefiting from this lack of transparency and regulation. $30 billion is an incredible amount of money. The end result is that regular people - waitresses, baristas, etc lost all of their wealth. Some people got paid, including entities in the Bahamas. SBF bought mansions for relatives, influence, etc. and so far is not being held accountable. There were many other shell companies and many other players too. No transparency or real investigations to find out what/who/when/where for a reason. But the damage has been done to the benefit of the Federal Reserve who will usher in their solution, which is a global crypto scheme that replaces cash and ends privacy. Madoff was in handcuffs within 2 days of confessing to his brother. People are going to start noticing things are amiss in the justice system, in the media, with political priorities as things unfold with FTX, Ukraine, the banking system, inflation, the housing market, and other issues in 2023. The natives *will* get restless. Like this: "EU Accuses Washington Of Making A Fortune From Ukraine War" Starvation, mass job losses and cold temperatures will put people on edge in the next few months. They have brains and will be able to remember what things were like before 2020.
Ukraine shenanigans and Biden like peanut butter and jelly
I am listening to Bloomberg at 7:20am listening to the talking heads dismiss economic concerns, and paint a fake picture with: 1. The Chinese Riot/Apple stock price 2. The fake inflation & unemployment numbers 3. All emphasis on the Fed, what the Fed will do and the fake numbers that the Fed publishes The kick in the gut right now as always is the frustration that these talking heads put all of the emphasis on the Fed and their interest rates (along with fake numbers on critical economic measurements). There's no real analysis on credit card debt, housing inventories swelling, canceled real estate projects, labor issues, supply chain issues, etc. Take ONE DATA POINT, which is the Fed interest rate and using it to determine an economic future is idiotic. With the fake numbers, the answer is always to be a useful bagholder. BUY THE DIP, don't sell... while the top players pull out and laugh. On the China situation, the really twisted twist from the establishment now? "See, if only China would force vaccinate, they wouldn't need to do lockdowns." Dismissing the fact that the vaccines DO NOT prevent covid infections or the spread of infections and also, the inhuman conditions Chinese lockdowns create. Welding people in apartments... the people should revolt in the most intense way imaginable. Also, the biggest takeaway is that the western establishment fully plans to lock us down again and this revolt is filling their diapers with the runny stuff.
I read a long article about how 45% of China's population is heading into retirement and by 2030 they'll be the Florida of Asia. Soylent Green coming to a theater near you.
Also calls for corporations to divest from China - to use India instead. A deep, dark recession in America will really bring China to it's knees. All those people (usually the "poor in the mind" liberal types who don't understand business) who parrot this idea that China is technologically superior to the U.S. and "owns" it are going to see some how wrong they are. I saw a video clip from China where the "tanks" (Chinese Hummers) were rolling into position for Tiananmen Square II: Electric Boogaloo. Comments under the video pointing out the absurdity that China copied our Hummer vehicle. I was thinking - GM is 50% owned by China... people have no idea. Cad models for the Hummer were very likely just moved to another Chinese site to make their own version. "Technologically superior China" simply signs contracts with companies like Boston Dynamics and then copies the robot dogs and next gen drones... then unleashes them on it's own people. World leaders then gush about how the " China model" is so beautiful. Dream dictatorship, slave labor, compliant people. I can easily imagine after production moves from China to India that China becomes desperate enough to expand their aggressive campaign against India (that the west NEVER TALKS ABOUT). And of course Taiwan is just a biscuit under the gravy. Listening to Bloomberg again this morning. The main talking point is "China needs to force vaccinate" to end the Covid and get production rolling. It's absolutely maddening. This morning it was revealed that Pfizer and Moderna have announced an "emergency" flu vaccine and wait for it... has "the same mNRA technology as the Covid 19 vaccines". IT's easy as A-B-C to see what's next. RECORD FLU DEATHS! VACCINE MANDATES! https://www.newsmax.com/health/health-news/flu-influenza- vaccine/2022/11/28/id/1098195/ Rinse, lather, cut wrists. Blood clots for you and you and you and you. Compromised immune systems, reproductive systems. Shhh! Don't bring that up at Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. So many Compliant Karens with Stockholm Syndrome are emboldened and if you threaten their world views they go NUTS.
watch grandma die through the window it's sort of like the maternity ward where the man gives his guy friends a cigar except this is the trust fund baby in linen pants and jesus sandals cashing out his moms doublewide as she ekes out her last breaths in the flu ward biden talking about gun control after his crackhead son lost a handgun in a dumpster next to a high school the guy should be wearing a yellow and blue vest greeting people at wal*mart instead of considering an octogenarian run for 2nd term the peripheral was a great show but then more and more cast are trannies. the clue is the dudes in size 14 plus pantsuits with anita bryant hairstyles and pencil eyebrows showing off their veneers. is there an equivalent to fonzi jumping a gay shark or is it a gay fonzi jumping a shark or what do we call this?
The shark is in bondage and fonzi is a toddler boy on a skateboard wearing a dress. ABC will sue the producer when outrage surfaces. The head of entertainment will fly to the Bahamas before anyone figures out that he greenlit the project. Biden arrives in a limo to sniff the boy back stage. Huffington post writes a piece on how courageous ABC is and that skateboards are back but with glitter and cancel culture slogans. Did I just jump the shark? LMAO

https://bit.ly/3GZRjBP I started a fake account at Twitter so I could see all the Musk drama. I know I shouldn't have... I feel so dirty now. If I was God I'd send another flood. Things have gone sideways. Now that I've said that, my wanders to the fact that the Sumerians also had a flood story (epic tales of Atrahasis and Gilgamesh) many years before the bible (1,000 BCE vs 2,000 BCE). The hero even built an ark...! There was a "book of Enoch" removed from Jewish and Christian bibles that spoke of things going badly when "the visitors/watchers" aka " angels" had sex with earth women which resulted in giants (giants all over the bible). Enoch was the great-grandfather of Noah and we know that the flood was to cleanse the earth of the giants. Then I wonder why Golliath existed. David later as King killed Og king of Bashan and his family of giants! Pft. I promise to switch to decaf. (I'm also wondering if the watchers were also giant because...how did they mate and make giants?) I have a lot of questions for Mr. Owl but I need to pay him with a tootsie pop.
A great flood seems like it would be in every arsenal of scary bedtime stories...especially for bedwetters or desert dwellers Here in Newsomland, scary stories start with a drought

Are Baker and [former Twitter executive] Vijaya Gadde on suicide watch yet?
Vijaya Gadde having left Twitter as chief legal officer (CLO), is still with Mercy Corps. She is also looking at sharing part of the $200M golden parachute for the C Suite Twitter buhbye send off. In January, more circus and cake but instead of Jan6 ice capades it's going to be GOP inquisition high wire acts. Meet the old boss, same as the new boss..or something like that. (I crossed paths with Vijaya a million years ago when she was at Juniper.. ..pretty sure it was in Orlando at GovCon or something)
resp:207 Hire me! I'm a bargain because I'll settle for a measly $100M severance package.
re #208 You and me both! And these packages half the time fly under income taxes radars because they emerge as unliquidated shares or dumped right into 401k, etc.
#207 Right. Instead of taking charge and being responsible, we will get more partisan witch hunts. Brinkmanship. Tit-for-tat. 2023 will be epic miserable with inflation, high interest rates, falling real estate, etc. The last thing we need is more endless partisan witch- hunts. Though I am thorough enjoying the red pills handed out from the Twitter data dumps. People are losing their sh!t which is a beautiful thing. 2020-2022 was purgatory. 2023 will be hell. CBDC & universal basic income schemes will be easy to pull off. Springtime for Karl Marx.
Foodstamps for everybody - at select soup kitchens near you
If by "foodstamps" you mean crickets and by kitchens, you mean the tray of crickets slid through the rectangular hole in your 5x10 domicile, then yes. The camp will serve rations of crickets in proportion to the work measured. The pretty girls and boys will be adopted by the camp man1agement. They will get steak and potatoes. ... My prediction (based on prior events and data): No one will get caught sabotaging food/power stations despite easy access to cell phone pings, security cameras, local ring cameras, etc. BUT: a group of "Pro-2A right-wing anti-trans homophobic Russian-backed insurrectionist Christian white-supremacist antivax conspiracy theorist QAnon MAGA domestic terrorists" will be found PLANNING it and of course, the usual suspects will be embedded in the group. Show-trials to follow. Now to the why... Blackouts can be achieved by foreign actors remotely. So the physical shutdowns are the smoking gun. Blackouts will be accelerated by *some people* to stir up FUD before more intense blackouts, which preceded, "your bank accounts have been emptied by THE RUSSIANS". It's a good think I'm crazy and none of this is real. PS Both my wife and I woke up to stolen debit/credit card notices this morning. For the wife, the notice came via text message. For me, a denied Amazon transaction. "Verify your card." "Sorry, something went wrong." UGH
That sucks about your credit cards. Good thing we can TRUST THE BANK to fix it. <scans wrist barcode>
I have a friend who found out about his mother's passing via a probate court notice via usps this week. His siblings are awesome.
Anyone think that maybe the "hacking" of FTX was not an inside job? "The crypto wallets associated with now-bankrupt trading firm Alameda Research, the sister company of FTX, were seen transferring out funds just days after the former CEO Sam Bankman Fried was released on a $250 million bond." "The ongoing fund movements from Alameda wallets coincided with Bankman Fried s bail because right after FTX filed for bankruptcy on Nov. 11, the exchange wallets were hacked for millions of dollars. The United States Department of Justice is currently investigating the $352 million FTX exploit right after its bankruptcy filing as well." https://www.zerohedge.com/crypto/alameda-wallets-suddenly-become-active- day-after-sbfs-bail-out
If you look at the stocks most promoted by the mainstream media, like Caravan, Peloton, Beyond Meat, Coinbase, Teladoc, Lemonade, Robinhood, Snap, Zoom, DocuSign, Spotify, Tesla, and Netflix - most lost 80+% of their value in less than a year. As the media pumped, the biggest shareholders - the "owners" of these companies dumped. So much easy access to money from Fed printing that people were too greedy to be skeptical. Similar things going on with commercial and single-family home real estate. 2023 is going to be so interesting.
It's amazing there arent' buyers and there arent' sellers - who's lying
We were at the infamous Birch Run mall today on the way back from Frankenmuth. There was an area that was completely empty and roped off. A good 1/4 of the site. Sprinkled throughout away from this area were stores missing. They had most of the premium stores all crammed together. After I dropped the wife off at the "good" section, I drove to around the back where the not-so premium stores were (across from the completely empty set of stores) and saw a 60-70% off sale sign at Haggar For Men. Holy smokes, I practically robbed the place. Between my son and I, we bought 3 suits, 5 dress pants, 6 dress shirts, a belt, 3 ties, a pair of jeans...I know I'm forgetting some things...anyway at Men's Warehouse this would be easily been $2,000. With the 60-70% off the already marked down prices we paid > get this > $275. It felt dirty but I'm supposed to return back to the office soon and I'm SET. Imagine getting a premium sports coat for $20. It will cost more to have it tailored! Beyond that, I chatted up the lady running the store and we discussed, "retail apocalypse". I'm 100% convinced people have absolutely no idea what is about to happen. The lady was super-smart and a real go-getter. If I was a hiring manager, I'd bring her into my group. At any rate, Haggar, like so many other stores is permanently closing in a month and "going online". Ideas like customer service and trying things on are going to be lost concepts soon. Welcome to Amazon Basics.
The problem with online is the cost of transport and the unions that do the work. I can see thsi going sideways for Amazon. Too big to fail or something. DHL almost took over USPS in 2007 and the energy crisis put them out of commission.

All these stores are as real as Zelenskky at the Golden Globes. Not long until https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/ and https://www.bestbuy.com/ are online only Unions running warehouses. 3rd party slaves drive the vans while IRS tracks each Venmo payment.
Soyjacks and Karens shilling for perpetual war in Ukraine pleases Blackrock and Raytheon. Dye your hair purple and shake your fist at January 6. Pawns. America is being remade into the image of a homeless, drug addicted, Nicaraguan drag queen. What is the endgame of migration replacement? Ever look at the labor participation rate? It keeps shrinking. I wonder why. Once unique as the breakfast tacos people replace the working poor and middle America, who pays for the endless wars and soup kitchens? Who's pension, bank account and 401k will serve as bag holders for the inside traders in Washington?
Dont forget the least brilliant of the planet will willing store refuse toxic waste and criminal expulsions. Chunky enough for a fork but made to eat with a spoon.
