Coming from a Soros man…

Market ‘Convinced’ Trump Will Win – Druckenmiller (RT)

Markets have been pricing in a Donald Trump victory in the upcoming US presidential election, American billionaire investor Stanley Druckenmiller has said in an interview with Bloomberg Television. The founder of the Duquesne Family Office investment firm and hedge fund manager specified that the trend is clearly visible in bank stocks, crypto and even in the performance of the former president’s social media company Trump Media & Technology Group. “I would have to guess Trump is the favorite to win the election,” Druckenmiller told the news channel on Wednesday, emphasizing that the market has seemed “very convinced Trump is going to win” over the past 12 days.

Druckenmiller, who managed money for billionaire political activist and Democrat mega-donor George Soros for more than a decade, also commented on how a Trump victory would play out if the Republicans win Congress. According to him, it’s “extremely unlikely” that the Democrats will gain control of Congress, even if Kamala Harris makes it to the Oval Office. The investor, who funded the primary campaign of former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley against Trump earlier this year, also said that equities may be troubled for three to six months in the event of a so-called blue sweep, when the Democrats win the Presidency, the Senate and the House of representatives. Druckenmiller added that a red sweep scenario is “probably more likely than a Trump presidency with a blue Congress.”

“Personally, I think anybody that votes for Trump is probably not going to change their ballot for a Democrat in Congress,” he added. The money manager also expects the Fed to be far more hawkish than it would be under a Harris administration. He noted that the jumbo rate cut of 50 basis points in September was a mistake, adding that his investment firm shorted bonds, betting that the obligation price would fall, after the announcement. Druckenmiller stressed that the market needs to temper its expectations about the pace and extent of central-bank easing.

“Your vote will decide whether we give up on America, or whether we save America..”

Trump Promises To Unleash ‘America’s New Golden Age’ (JTN)

Rising in the polls, former President Donald Trump channeled some Ronald Reagan-like optimism while rallying voters in the battleground state of Pennsylvania, promising Saturday evening that if he is elected he would unleash “America’s New Golden Age.” “This election is a choice between whether we will have four more years of failure and disaster, or whether we will begin the four greatest years in the history of our country,” Trump told the crowd in Latrobe, Pa. “Your vote will decide whether we give up on America, or whether we save America,” he added. Trump rattled off the policy changes he would sweep into Washington, from tax cuts and regulatory reform to securing the border and shrinking government. “With your support, we will bring back our nation’s strength, dominance, prosperity, and pride,” he said. “This will be America’s New Golden Age. “One hundred years from now, the presidential election of 2024 will be looked upon as America’s greatest victory.”

“..absent a Republican sweep most of Trump’s promises will end up as being just hot air..”

Trump Considers No Taxes For Police Officers, Firefighters And Military (ZH)

The race to shock and awe with the greatest number of tax cuts ahead of the November 5 election is nearing its climax. Donald Trump said he’d consider exempting police officers, firefighters, active duty military and veterans from paying taxes, the Republican nominee’s latest campaign trail idea to deliver tax breaks to key groups of supporters. “It’s something I would think about,” Trump said in response to a question about excluding first responders and military members from tax bills on an online show Maintaining with Tyrus that aired Friday. “You’re like my tax person there, but yeah. I mean something has to be done,” he said. “It’s almost an incentive to where you can get people interested.” The idea to exempt members of the military and first responders from taxation is the latest in a long list of tax proposals Trump has talked about while campaigning against Kamala Harris.

He’s pledged to i) eliminate taxes on tipped wages, ii) taxes on overtime pay and iii) taxes on Social Security benefits. To be sure, Trump didn’t give any more details about the service member tax exclusion, and any such ideas would require congressional approval in order to become law, which is why absent a Republican sweep most of Trump’s promises will end up as being just hot air. The no-taxes-on-military-and-first-responders idea could be among the largest new tax cuts he’s discussed to date, exempting more than 20 million people from federal tax payments. According to Bloomberg, there are about 18 million living veterans in the US, roughly 1.3 million active duty troops, approximately 1 million police offers in the US and more than 300,000 professional firefighters, according to several estimates. The US does offer some broad tax exemption to military members, but that is largely limited to people who are serving in active combat zones.

Over the last several months, Trump has rolled out a steady drumbeat of politically beneficial tax cut plans focused on key election constituencies, as a way to appeal to voters in an extremely tight election — particularly, low-and-middle-income Americans frustrated by high prices. The Republican nominee has thrown out such a wide range of tax proposals that even his own advisers are unsure about which ones he intends to enact if elected. Now that it is clear that neither candidate gives a rat’s ass about the war-time US budget deficit which just hit a mindblowing 6% of GDP despite US GDP allegedly growing at a 3%+ rate…… Trump it taking his tax break promises to the limit while also campaigning on extending the tax cut first passed when he was president. Major portions of that law, including lower tax brackets for households and deductions for small businesses, are set to expire at the end of 2025.

Trump has also pledged to further lower the corporate rate to 15% from 21% and expand the state and local tax deduction, a write-off popular in New York and California where Republicans face close House elections to keep their majority in the chamber. Economists have warned that his policy portfolio may balloon the federal debt, adding as much as $15 trillion to the debt over the next decade, according to an estimate from the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. Trump contends that economic growth and energy production would offset the loss in tax revenue.

“You’re going to be hit so hard, and I’m going to take those f**king domes right off your head..”

Trump Claims He Threatened Putin With Strike On Moscow (RT)

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has claimed that he threatened to strike Moscow if Russian President Vladimir Putin launched an attack on Ukraine. Asked in a wide-ranging interview with the Wall Street Journal on Friday whether he would use military force to respond to a potential blockade of Taiwan by Beijing, Trump said he would not have to, as his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, “respects me and he knows I’m f**king crazy.” Pivoting to Russia, Trump said the same is true of Putin, who he claimed to have an excellent relationship with. He added that at one point, he told him:

“Vladimir, if you go after Ukraine, I am going to hit you so hard, you’re not even going to believe it. I’m going to hit you right in the middle of fricking Moscow… We’re friends. I don’t want to do it, but I have no choice.” According to the former president, Putin reacted with disbelief, saying “no way.” “Way,” Trump responded. “You’re going to be hit so hard, and I’m going to take those f**king domes right off your head,” he reportedly said, apparently referring to the Russian leader’s Kremlin residence. Trump’s term in office expired in early 2021, more than a year before the start of Russia’s military operation in Ukraine.

Putin last spoke with Trump in 2020, according to public records. American journalist Bob Woodward, however, claimed that the two have had “maybe as many as seven” conversations since Trump left the White House. Both the Kremlin and the Trump campaign have denied the claim. The former US president has repeatedly said that the Russia-Ukraine conflict would not have happened had he been in office, and has vowed to end it within 24 hours if elected. While he provided few details on a potential peace plan, his running mate, J.D. Vance, said Trump could start talks with Russia, Ukraine, and European stakeholders to establish a demilitarized zone along the current front line, with Kiev agreeing to stay out of NATO.

“A potential new Trump administration must act swiftly to hold accountable those who perpetrated anti-Trump scams.”

In Search of Accountability for Anti-Trump Hoaxes (TON)

It may be premature to start contemplating the implications of a potential Trump victory on November 5. Unfortunately, for certain issues, it may already be too late. This is because time is of the essence when it comes to holding individuals accountable for the numerous frauds and acts of treachery that characterized much of President Trump’s first four years in office. More specifically, federal law has a five-year statute of limitations, preventing prosecution for actions committed more than five years ago. However, urgent accountability is needed to ensure that those who defrauded the American public in their pursuit of Trump do not escape punishment. Democrats and their allies are acutely aware of the five-year time limit.

This is evident in their swift action to prosecute Twitter user Douglas Mackey for creating a meme in 2016 that jokingly encouraged Hillary Clinton voters to text in their votes. As the statute of limitations on Mackey’s “crimes” was set to lapse in 2021, Democrats, aided by “Republican” appointee Seth DuCharme, were locked and loaded to file charges as soon as Biden assumed the presidency. Republicans would do well do follow this example, albeit for actual crimes. Accountability is needed in order to prevent renewed and repeated treachery. We have examined aspects of three separate scams that may still fall within the five-year statute of limitations period by the time Trump assumes office on January 20, 2025, should he win the election.

Russiagate
The first area we examined is Russiagate, which, given that it is now almost nine years old, presents unique challenges in terms of holding anyone accountable. Russiagate originated as a Clinton campaign operation in early 2016. Of course, a dirty tricks campaign is not a crime in itself. Even lying to the media, as the Clinton campaign did repeatedly in its attempts to smear Trump as a Russian agent, is not a crime. Instead, our focus is on government actors. The first documented instance of government actors co-opting the Russiagate narrative occurred when the FBI received the fraudulent Steele dossier on July 5, 2016. This was soon followed by various other actions, such as opening the sham Crossfire Hurricane investigation and spying on several members of the Trump campaign team. However, all these actions are now over eight years old and fall outside the statute of limitations. Unfortunately, even the most egregious aspect of the Russiagate hoax—the fraudulent Intelligence Community Assessment that President Obama used to undermine the incoming Trump administration—also falls outside the statute of limitations. Subsequent actions involving corrupt FBI officials, such as Peter Strzok, James Comey, and Andrew McCabe, likewise fall outside the statute of limitations. In fact, all these individuals were fired more than five years ago.[..]

Ukraine Impeachment Hoax
It is not coincidental that Trump’s first impeachment, on charges of allegedly failing to send weapons to Ukraine, began one day after Robert Mueller testified before Congress that there was no Russian collusion. One hoax simply replaced another. On July 25, 2019, Trump had his infamous conversation with Ukraine’s President, Volodymyr Zelensky. The overarching premise of the impeachment scheme was to accuse Trump of withholding military aid to Ukraine, despite the fact that he had not done so. This allegation stemmed from a distorted interpretation of Trump’s phone call with Zelensky. It was claimed that Trump had offered a quid pro quo, suggesting that Zelensky investigate alleged corruption involving the Biden family in exchange for military assistance. However, when the actual transcript of the phone call was released in September 2019, it became clear that this characterization was false. Nevertheless, by that time, the impeachment narrative against Trump was already in full swing, and neither the Democrats nor the media were deterred by the truth.

“..in the US people are starting to realize that the legacy media is just a propaganda machine..”

Americans Getting Wise To ‘Propaganda Machine’ – Musk (RT)

A victory for Democratic nominee Kamala Harris could usher in a crackdown on freedom of speech in the US, tech billionaire Elon Musk has warned. Speaking at a rally for Republican candidate Donald Trump in Pennsylvania on Saturday, the Tesla and X CEO was asked what kind of administration he would expect to see from Harris if she wins the November election. “We’ll see a lot of censorship under a sort of Kamala regime. Kamala is really just a puppet, frankly. If the teleprompter breaks she doesn’t know what to say,” Musk said, adding that he prefers to think of the administration as a “big government machine” that puts on a certain face to appeal to voters. In contrast, the tycoon said he finds claims that Trump is “a danger to democracy” to be “bizarre and hypocritical,” given that US President Joe Biden was “removed” from the race in an “incredibly undemocratic” fashion.

“There’s clearly a strong a strong push for censorship under the guise of fighting disinformation. But disinformation is really a propaganda word. Who’s going to decide what disinformation is? The government? That’s crazy,” Musk stated. However, the billionaire said he remains optimistic about a shift in the national mindset – as more Americans refuse to believe “everything the media tells you.” “Actually, in the US people are starting to realize that the legacy media is just a propaganda machine,” he argued, while the European audience “still thinks the news is real.” In June 2022, Harris spearheaded the creation of the White House Task Force to Address Online Harassment and Abuse, with a focus on protecting women and the LGBTQ community.

In 2019, the US vice president labeled social media platforms as purveyors of “hate” and “misinformation” and said she wanted to hold them accountable for the content they spread. Musk has repeatedly criticized the US government for overreach and attempts to introduce what he sees as excessive content moderation. While the mogul previously positioned himself as politically neutral, he publicly endorsed Donald Trump after the former president survived an assassination attempt in July, donating tens of millions of dollars to his campaign. The Republican, if he wins, has promised to create a new government post called ‘secretary of cost-cutting’ tailored specifically for Musk.

“..you desperately decide to call him all the bad names at once.”

The Atlantic Mocked For ‘Trump Is Hitler’ Hit-Piece (RT)

The Atlantic magazine and its staff writer Anne Applebaum have faced widespread criticism after publishing an op-ed that compares former US President Donald Trump to infamous dictators like Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Benito Mussolini. The article, which claims Trump is borrowing rhetoric from some of the 20th century’s most notorious leaders, has been ridiculed online, particularly by pro-Trump commenters and political figures. Some have also drawn attention to Applebaum’s links to the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), a CIA cutout. The controversy erupted after Applebaum, a staff writer for The Atlantic and a member of the board of NED, argued that Trump’s use of terms like “vermin” to describe his opponents and his references to “criminal illegal immigrants as animals” echoed the dehumanizing language of the named dictators.

The headline of her article –”Trump Is Speaking Like Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini– ignited a flurry of backlash. The Trump campaign dismissed the piece as “fake news by a third-rate media outlet,” while figures on social media openly mocked Applebaum and the magazine. Among the first to respond was journalist Glenn Greenwald, who commented, “When you spend eight years calling a person every bad name you can think of—including Hitler—and it doesn’t work, so you desperately decide to call him all the bad names at once.” Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, also ridiculed the piece, responding with “I can’t stop laughing.” British conservative commenter Ben Kew chimed in as well, mocking The Atlantic’s editorial process: “I love the idea that the editors sat around and thought, ‘Let’s come up with a headline for Anne Applebaum’s piece that will really scare the average voter.’”

Critics of Applebaum also pointed to her connections to the NED, a government-funded organization with links to US intelligence operations. Applebaum’s critics, including journalist Mike Benz, accused her of pushing a pro-intelligence agenda. “Anne Applebaum is on the board of directors for the most notorious CIA cut-out in US history,” Benz stated, suggesting her opinion pieces often align with US national security interests. NED is funded by the US State Department to do, in the words of its founder, Carl Gershman, what “was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA.” In recent years, the NED helped foment the 2014 Maidan coup in Ukraine, sponsored meetings of anti-Beijing officials and delegates in Taiwan, and financed a UK-based organization working to drive right-wing American news outlets out of business.

Her published opinions and those of the US national security state rarely diverge. Writing for the Atlantic, she has advocated regime change in Russia, accused Trump of planning to “abandon” Ukraine and NATO, and accused Musk of “weakness” and “arrogance” over his refusal to help Kiev’s forces guide kamikaze drones into Russian naval targets in Crimea. Despite her prominent role at NED, she has denied any personal links to the CIA. Nonetheless, critics highlight the close alignment of her views with US foreign policy initiatives. The Atlantic has yet to respond to the widespread backlash against the article.

“It is a federal crime to pay people with the intention of inducing or rewarding them to cast a vote or to get registered, an offense punishable by prison time.”

Elon Musk Launches Million-Dollar-A-Day Giveaway For Petition Signers (ZH)

Elon Musk continued his town hall tour through the critical battleground state of Pennsylvania on Saturday evening, this time in the working-class town of Harrisburg. Speaking to thousands packed inside a megachurch – formerly AMP Incorporated’s headquarters – Musk walked onto the stage with rock-n-roll blasting in the background. Almost immediately, he announced a $1 million-a-day giveaway. The promotion began on Saturday night. It runs until November’s election and is open to anyone who signs his online petition supporting the US Constitution. “One of the challenges we’re having is, like, how do we get people to know about this petition?” Musk told the audience of blue-collar workers, many of whom were youngsters with families, adding, “This news, I think, is going to really fly.” On X, Musk wrote, “The goal of the $1M/day prize is to maximize awareness of our petition to support The Constitution.”

Musk’s political action organization, America PAC, has been responsible for the town hall events and will be doling out a million dollars daily to anyone who signs the petition. X user DogeDesigner noted, “Elon Musk really knows how to get legacy media to promote for free.” The petition Musk has asked people to sign reads: “The First and Second Amendments guarantee freedom of speech and the right to bear arms. By signing below, I am pledging my support for the First and Second Amendments.” “Our goal is to get 1 million registered voters in swing states to sign in support of the Constitution, especially freedom of speech and the right to bear arms. This program is exclusively open to registered voters in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin and North Carolina. Expires October 21,” the petition said.

Google Trends data shows that searches for “Elon Musk petition” have surged nationwide. The Wall Street Journal commented on Musk’s announcement: “It is a federal crime to pay people with the intention of inducing or rewarding them to cast a vote or to get registered, an offense punishable by prison time.” According to OpenSecrets, America PAC has spent more than $119 million during the 2024 election cycle.

“..paving the way for both nations to step up their military drills near Russia’s borders..”

Germany and UK To Sign ‘Historic’ Defense Pact – Sunday Times (RT)

The UK and Germany will sign a bilateral defense agreement this week, paving the way for both nations to step up their military drills near Russia’s borders, The Sunday Times has reported. Under the terms of the deal, Britain and Germany will cooperate on arms procurement and development, with the agreement serving as a “first step” for a larger deal between the UK and EU next year, the British newspaper reported. The pact “is expected to enable British and German forces to conduct joint military exercises on NATO’s eastern border with Russia, most probably in Estonia and Lithuania,” The Times noted, without offering further explanation.

Britain and Germany already take part in NATO exercises, such as this year’s ‘Steadfast Defender’ drills. Conducted near Russia’s western borders, ‘Steadfast Defender’ involved 90,000 troops from all 32 NATO states, and was perceived in Moscow as open preparation for “a potential armed clash with Russia.” In addition to these multilateral exercises, Germany already takes part in smaller-scale bilateral exercises, such as Germany’s ‘Grand Quadriga’ drills with Lithuania earlier this year, and its ‘Baltic Tiger’ maneuvers with Estonia in 2022. The Times’ article suggests that Britain could join these exercises once the new deal is signed.

British Defense Secretary John Healey told the newspaper that the deal is modeled on the 2010 Lancaster House agreement between the UK and France. Under this agreement, Britain and France pledge to create a joint expeditionary force to take part in military drills, to collaborate on developing drones and submarine technology, and to share nuclear-weapons data with each other. During a two-day NATO summit in Brussels this week, Healey also announced that British troops stationed in Estonia will receive new drone warfare equipment and training, and that the UK will work with Germany, France, Poland and Italy to create new long-range missiles for Ukraine.

..“fear of war in Europe” was the top concern (81%) of young Germans..”

Germany’s Scholz Shoots Down Ukraine’s ‘Victory Plan’ (RT)

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has poured cold water on Vladimir Zelensky’s ‘victory plan’, refusing to acquiesce to some of its key points. He argued that the EU has a responsibility to ensure that the conflict in Ukraine does not become a war between Russia and NATO. On Wednesday, Zelensky presented his vision to the Ukrainian parliament, acknowledging that its success largely depends on Kiev’s Western backers. The plan consists of eight points, three of which are classified. Among the publicly disclosed points are a demand that Ukraine be immediately admitted into NATO. Secondly, Kiev wants its Western backers to lift all restrictions on the use of long-range missiles, including strikes against targets deep inside Russia’s internationally recognized territory.

Speaking to reporters following the EU summit in Brussels on Thursday, Scholz said that “Germany’s stance on the issues that are touched upon” in Zelensky’s plan remain the same. The chancellor added that it is his duty to prevent the Ukraine conflict from escalating into a full-blown war between NATO and Russia. With respect to Ukraine’s repeated requests for German-made Taurus long-range missiles, Scholz reiterated that he did not “deem this the right supply – and this still holds.” The German chancellor also put the brakes on Zelensky’s demand for fast-track NATO membership, pointing to the bloc’s July summit in Washington where proponents of quick membership were not able to convince skeptics, including the US and Germany. According to Scholz, the general consensus reached at the gathering was merely that Ukraine was irreversibly on its way to full membership at some unspecified point in the future when certain conditions were met.

Earlier this month, the German media reported that Zelesnky had attempted to make Scholz change his mind during the Ukrainian leader’s European tour last week, but failed. Commenting on Zelensky’s plan on Wednesday, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova dismissed it as a “set of incoherent slogans” and a “plan for the misfortune of Ukraine and the Ukrainian people.” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, for his part, called on the Ukrainian leadership to “sober up.” Against this backdrop, a recently published survey by the British multinational oil and gas company Shell indicated that “fear of war in Europe” was the top concern (81%) of young Germans.

“Putin understands that war between Washington and Russia means end times, and he wants to avoid that at all costs..”

Is Russia Finally Acknowledging Reality? (Paul Craig Roberts)

I see Putin as a successful leader. He has rescued Russia from demoralization from the Soviet collapse, which resulted in a once powerful state being dismembered, looted and embarrassed by its Jewish oligarchs and Washington. Putin has rebuilt the Russian economy, despite Washington’s sanctions and Putin’s incompetent central bank director. Putin has restored Russian pride, the Russian family, and civil morality. He is a rare successful leader. But as a war leader he has been Putin the Unready, caught off guard by the Georgian invasion of South Ossetia organized by Washington, by Washington’s overthrow of the Ukrainian government, and by the West’s response to his Special Military Operation in Donbas. Putin has accepted insult after insult, provocation after provocation, thus ever-widening the conflict and inviting more conflicts elsewhere as in the Middle East.

It is unclear to me why Putin accepted Washington’s overthrow of the Ukrainian government. Did he simply lack the military resources to prevent it, or was he unable to understand what was happening? The conflict that occurred 8 years later was the consequence of Putin’s failure to read the writing on the wall. Perhaps he was constrained by the treasonous class, the worshipers of the West, traitors I refer to as “Atlanticist Integrationists.” These traitors are now referred to in Russia as “the Fifth Column.” For the most part they are gone, except for the Russian central bank director, who continues to do Russia more harm than the West does. I think the explanation of Putin’s behavior is that Putin understands that war between Washington and Russia means end times, and he wants to avoid that at all costs. Thus, his willingness to accept endless insults and provocations.

But what Putin does not seem to understand is that Washington is relentless in its efforts to impose its agenda of Washington’s hegemony, and that Russia, China and Iran are obstacles in the way of this agenda and, therefore, are to be eliminated. Putin might regard such an agenda as preposterous, but it is nevertheless the agenda. Washington is yet to announce the abandonment of the Wolfowitz Doctrine of American hegemony and unilateralism. As long as this is Washington’s agenda, no understanding signed with Washington has any meaning. As long as Putin continues to accept Washington’s aggression, the aggression will continue. Putin’s acceptance of provocations have gone so far that the West no longer believes his threats. Both the outgoing and incoming NATO Secretary Generals said that we need pay no attention to whatever Putin says as he never means it. Did Putin understand that this was the price of endlessly accepting provocations? Did he understand that he was destroying the credibility of his warnings?

Putin, trying to avoid war, has repeated the same mistake in the Middle East. I was heartened when suddenly Putin showed proactive capability and quickly moved the Russian Air Force into Syria, thus preventing the American war criminal, Obama, from invading Syria. I concluded, wrongly, that Russia had decided to bring Washington’s aggression to a halt. But it was only a one time deal. Putin, trying to avoid war by leaving Syria, Iran, and Hezbollah without air protection, achieved the opposite–the onset of war. Now, according to reports, Putin is scrambling to get air protection to Iran before Israel blows up Iran’s peaceful nuclear reactors, thus spreading radiation over wide areas of Russia. Putin and the Russian General Staff failed to comprehend what happens in the absence of countervailing power. The result is not a damper put on war but the outbreak of war, with Putin now having to issue hard warnings to Israel, warnings that might have no credibility in light of Putin’s past failure to enforce red lines.

Awareness is descending on Russia that the existence of Ukraine as an independent country is an existential threat to Russia. The liberation of Donbas does not demilitarize and deNazify Ukraine or replace Ukraine’s puppet government with an independent one. Will the Russian public and the Russian General Staff permit Putin to agree to end the war simply on the basis of the liberation of Donbas, or will the Russian public and the General Staff insist that Ukraine’s existence is an existential threat to Russia’s existence and insist that the war continue until Ukraine is again a province of Russia? The Russian Fifth Column is busy at work disputing Zbigniew Brzezinski’s conclusion that Russia cannot be a great power if Ukraine is not part of Russia’s sphere of influence. Will the General Staff and the Russian population agree with the Fifth Column or with Brzezinski? If they agree with Brzezinski, they will object to Putin merely kicking the can down the road with a peace deal. It will be unfortunate if Putin’s insistence on peace destabilizes Russia.

“..SpaceX dominates rocket launches and leads the space race in this solar system..”

Boeing Explores Asset Sales In Potential Shrinking Of Corporate Footprint (ZH)

The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday morning that Boeing is mulling over asset sales to raise cash levels for its struggling business. On Saturday, Boeing and union heads reached a tentative labor contract agreement that could soon end the money-draining months-long labor strike, while early last week, the planemaker filed a $25 billion shelf registration to provide a “variety of capital options as needed to support the company’s balance sheet over a three-year period.” The new report cites a person familiar with a recent discussion between Boeing’s board and executives at its headquarters in Arlington, Virginia. The meeting centered around potential asset sales, as executives and board members combed through internal reports on the state of each of the planemaker’s units.

Just weeks ago, Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg told employees, “We need to be clear-eyed about the work we face,” adding, “We also need to focus our resources on performing and innovating in the areas that are core to who we are.” Ortberg replaced Dave Calhoun as the president and CEO of Boeing on August 8. He is expected to comment publicly for the first time as CEO on Wednesday, following the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers’ vote on the new labor contract. The company estimated the strike to cost $1 billion. It warned of a $6 billion quarterly loss for the period ending September 30. On Tuesday, just days after Boeing announced plans to cut 10% of its workforce due to intensifying financial pressure, such as dwindling cash reserves and mounting risk of a credit downgrade, as well as prolonged strike, the beleaguered planemaker filed a $25 billion shelf registration.

“This universal shelf registration provides flexibility for the company to seek a variety of capital options as needed to support the company’s balance sheet over a three-year period,” Boeing wrote in the filing. Separately, Boeing entered into a $10 billion “supplemental credit agreement” with a consortium of lenders. It noted that the credit facility provides “additional short-term access to liquidity as we navigate through a challenging environment,” adding that it has not drawn down on this facility or its existing credit revolver. Boeing has already considered selling its rocket-launching joint venture, United Launch Alliance, with Lockheed Martin to Sierra Space for $2-$3 billion. Also, Boeing’s space division is in crisis following the malfunctioning of the Starliner spacecraft.

Separately, Boeing’s competitor, Airbus, laid off 2,500 jobs in its space division, as Elon Musk’s SpaceX dominates rocket launches and leads the space race in this solar system. Boeing’s obsession (Wall Street’s obsession) with DEI, climate, and gender justice ultimately dealt the fatal blow. It’s time to refocus on the fundamentals, like building planes that actually stay in the sky. Is that a hard ask, Boeing?

“There is no lawsuit that could do the damage that the mainstream media is doing to itself..”

No, Trump Should Not Sue CBS (Turley)

In an interview with podcast host Dan Bongino, former President Trump said he “thinks” he will sue CBS after it was found to have edited an interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, only the latest such allegation against mainstream media. I hope that he will think again about this latest threat of litigation. I agree with the criticism of the media, including CBS, in the bias shown in the election. However, such a lawsuit would be legally groundless, in my view. If it is any solace, the media is doing enough damage to itself. Many have criticized CBS for its editing of the interview with journalist Bill Whitaker after the network shortened portions of Harris’s answer to a question about the war in Gaza in its initial broadcast. It later provided a full transcript of her remarks online. (For full disclosure, I worked twice under contract with CBS as a legal analyst).

Trump, however, took the matter further in his interview, stating, “[s]o I think I’m going to sue them actually. I think so. No, you know what, they can’t defend it and if they do and even if they win it’s going to be very embarrassing.” Such a lawsuit would fail. The media is allowed to engage in such editing. Indeed, bias itself is not generally actionable. Moreover, there were moments where Whitaker did press Harris in sharp contrast to most of her interviews on shows like The View, Howard Stern’s SiriusXM show, as well as on Late Night with Stephen Colbert. There were some tough moments where Whitaker pushed Harris to give more than soundbite answers. I have been a vocal critic of the mainstream media for its embracing of what I refer to as “advocacy journalism” in my book, The Indispensable Right.

Many in this country view mainstream media as a de facto state media due to the bias shown against Trump and for Democratic talking points. Indeed, the mantra “Let’s Go Brandon!” was embraced by millions as a criticism of the media as much as it was a criticism of President Biden. However, the threats of harassing lawsuits destroys any moral high ground for Trump. It is also entirely unnecessary. As I wrote this weekend, “journalism has become a ship of fools who increasingly write for each other rather than the dwindling numbers of actual readers.”

CBS was widely criticized for the performance of Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan as moderators in the presidential debate. That includes reneging on a pledge not to “fact check” and showing manifest bias in their treatment of the candidates. Television and print outlets are experiencing a sharp decline in revenue and audiences across the industry. As discussed in this weekend’s column, the public is going elsewhere for news. Trust in the media is at a record low. There is no lawsuit that could do the damage that the mainstream media is doing to itself.

Gold, Kamala, Trump, Control, Cash, Murder, Water – Austin Fitts (USAW)

Catherine Austin Fitts (CAF), Publisher of The Solari Report, financial expert and former Assistant Secretary of Housing (Bush 41 Admin.), gives her take on gold, Kamala, Trump, control, cash, murder and water. On gold’s rocket rise, CAF says, “Gold is very important. We divide gold into two positions: Your ‘core’ position and your ‘investment’ position. . . . Right now, gold looks phenomenally attractive as a core position. It is also attractive as an investment position.” Why the big move up now? CAF says, “Part of it is the incredible monetary policies and the monetary inflation coming from the central banks. The other is too many people are watching government implode in a variety of different ways, and people are saying I want a core position in gold.

We are also seeing the BRICs . . . and seeing states in the US move to put gold and silver in a position to be used as a currency. So, we are watching people put monetary reserves in gold and monetary liquidity in gold. That is happening steadily, and more and more people are saying they need a percentage of their assets in gold. . . . We are in a long-term bull market in gold.” On Kamala Harris, the operative word is “meltdown.” CAF says, “Kamala is in, what we call in a campaign, a ‘meltdown.’ If you look at the current meltdown, I am baffled because why would somebody with her characteristics be made the nominee? You are talking about major donors putting major money behind her. Why would they spend that much money if there were serious holes in her vetting and she is inclined to melt down this way? It’s kind of baffling.”

On Trump, what is the first thing he should do if re-elected? CAF says, “He should stop the poisoning of the American people. This is one of the reasons we did this issue on water. The American people are being poisoned. . . . I travel a lot by car. I see deterioration in the air, in the water, in the food–they are being poisoned. And, of course, the big one is the CV19 vaccines. Vaccines are poisoning Americans. There was just a big ruling against putting fluoride poison being added to municipal water supplies. One of the things you can do is to march down to your city or county and tell them to stop wasting money on putting poison in your water. If you reverse that, it is one important action you can take.”

The Deep State and central bankers want total control of your money and your life. Fitts says this is why she started pushing the use of cash instead of digital transactions. She calls it “Make Cash Great Again.” . . . If we don’t fix the finances from an actuarial standpoint, they are going to continue to delay benefits or lower life expectancy, and that is what they are doing. They are balancing the books by lowering life expectancy.” One way to lower life expectancy is to inject people with a so-called vaccine that is really a bioweapon that murders and disables people. That is exactly what happened with the CV19 vax, and the deaths or murders are still piling up. CAF says, “You can cut back on the fraudulent rackets, or you can cut back on the people.” They are cutting back on the people by any measure.

‘It’s Like We’re Watching Auschwitz on TikTok’ (Gabor Maté)

Had there been YouTube and Instagram and TikTok around Auschwitz, this is what we would have seen, people burning alive. And it’s beyond horrendous, it’s beyond comprehension.” In an online meeting with French activist and film producer Frank Barat on Monday, Canadian physician Gabor Mate explored the psychological complexities of witnessing atrocities in Gaza and Palestine, saying: “It’s like we’re watching Auschwitz on TikTok.” They delve into the emotional and historical roots of violence and oppression, highlighting the trauma, guilt, and helplessness experienced by observers. Mate stresses the need to acknowledge these emotions and examines the normalisation of violence, while contemplating the future implications for Gaza and global society.

Julian Would Not Have Survived Without Plea Deal – Assange’s Father (RT)

John Shipton, the father of WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange, has spoken to RT about his son’s plea deal with the US and what the publisher has been doing since regaining his freedom four months ago. Assange spent five years in a high-security prison in the UK as he fought extradition to the US, which had accused him of unlawfully obtaining and disclosing classified information, much of which related to American war crimes. In June, he struck a plea bargain with the US Justice Department, formally acknowledging some guilt and waiving his right to legal recourse in exchange for freedom. “I pled guilty to journalism,” the Wikileaks founder explained later. Speaking of his son’s ordeal, Shipton – who is currently visiting Russia – told RT on Saturday that “the US, in its pursuit of those that it does not like, is clearly quite ruthless and vindictive.”

“I imagine if not for the intercession of the Australian government, the Australian people and the Australian parliament, if not for that intercession [which made the plea deal possible], Julian would not have survived,” he stressed. Shipton gave his interview in Moscow alongside Mira Terada, a Russian journalist who was extradited to the US from Finland in late 2010s on accusations of money laundering and spent 46 months in an American prison. Assange’s father arrived to Moscow on the invitation of Terada, who is now co-chair of the BRICS Journalists Association. Being in a US prison is “the worst experience” a human being can have, Terada insisted. “It is a human rights violation from the moment when they kidnap you to the moment when they release you,” she said, adding that inmates are being subject to both physical and psychological torture.

“I am confident that he [Assange] would never have a fair trial [in the US], but it is a big question if he would make it alive till the trial,” she said. Shipton recalled that he was “elated” when Assange was released from prison, saying that “a great burden had been lifted from myself and many hundreds of thousands of people, who ardently fought for Julian’s freedom for many years.” Some of those activists – in the UK, Germany, France, Russia, New Zealand, Canada, Australia and South America – became “rather like an extended family” to us, he added. According to Assange’s father, he “did not use hope as a tool for energy” when his son remained behind bars, but relied on “faith that the people of the world would object fundamentally to the site of an injustice and move towards righting that and bringing about justice.”

“I do not have fears” about Julian Assange’s future at the moment, Shipton said. “I think the arrangements that the diplomats and lawyers have made with the US are substantial enough to allow Julian to live a normal life.” The Wikileaks co-founder is now busy “looking after his children and his wife and building an understanding of his family and these… new circumstances of freedom,” he said. Assange is “a voracious reader and very curious. So I imagine that he is furthering his knowledge in the areas of his interests, which are vast.” When asked about whether his son is planning to return to journalism, Shipton replied: “I have no way of answering that question.”

Pentagon Says There is No Hard Evidence of Aliens Visiting Earth (Sp.)

Pentagon Press Secretary Major General Patrick Ryder this week made it clear exactly what the US military reportedly knows about aliens’ alleged visits to Earth. “The truth is out there, Jeff, and the truth is we have no evidence to indicate extraterrestrial life has visited the planet,” he told Task and Purpose reporter Jeff Schogol during a press event on Thursday, when the latter asked him what the Pentagon knows about aliens and UFOs. Ryder’s revelations can hardly be considered a novelty as the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), set up specifically to investigate UFOs (or UAPs as they are often referred to today) and other inexplicable phenomena, said as much in a report released back in March.

“To date, AARO has found no verifiable evidence for claims that the US government and private companies have access to or have been reverse-engineering extraterrestrial technology,” Maj. Gen. Ryder said in a statement issued on March 8. “Also, AARO has found no evidence that any US government investigation, academic-sponsored research, or official review panel has confirmed that any sighting of a UAP represented extraterrestrial technology.” Ryder also pointed out at the time that “all investigative efforts, at all levels of classification, concluded that most sightings were ordinary objects and phenomena and the result of misidentification.”

    Miriam Adelson donates $100M to Trump campaign, making good on reported promise

    Remember this Elon? Remember the Adelson’s were the money behind the throne in the last Trump POTUS fiasco, which is why Trump murdered an Iranian General. Now Ugly Adelson is in on the game. We remember Netanyahu’s visit to see you Elon. Remember all those Jews you owe for all that funding you so readily get? Oh, you guys owe big time, you guys are owned, you just like to lie about it because you know your days are over if you do not obey the Jews.

    Asked in a wide-ranging interview with the Wall Street Journal on Friday whether he would use military force to respond to a potential blockade of Taiwan by Beijing, Trump said he would not have to, as his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, “respects me and he knows I’m f**king crazy.”

    Wow, Trump is turning into a playground Jew. The Jews have always been desperately trying to big themselves up, releasing all sorts of dumb PR that makes themselves look scary, trying to be the big tough guy that everybody should fear, using assassinations and terrorism to blow up parts of the civilised world while hiding behind the USA.

    The Jew IDF behaviour kind of reminds me of the Ruandans and Congolese, except the Africans were much more frightening, the Jews are just masturbating while murdering with a bullet, the Africans were chopping people up with machetes while raping them, the knife is always a bit more scary than the clinical bullet; no real personal involvement with the bullet, but with the knife you have to get up close and personal. Those Africans are really scary, the Jews are just as nuts but don’t have the scary factor.

    The Jews just assassinate a few people and try to use the terror of bringing violence into the civilised world. They try to scare you. They are basically white niggers in the middle east jungle. Now Trump is doing the Jew thing, standing on his back haunches and bleating “fear me, fear me”, just like the Jews are doing in Lebanon while they get their dead colonel handed back to them.

    Apologies to any Africans who fought in Ruanda and Congo for comparing you to Jews.

    Don’t tell me that people have already forgotten the other recent genocides …

    The Rwandan genocide, also known as the genocide against the Tutsi, occurred from 7 April to 19 July 1994 during the Rwandan Civil War.[4] Over a span of around 100 days, members of the Tutsi ethnic group, as well as some moderate Hutu and Twa, were systematically killed by Hutu militias. While the Rwandan Constitution states that over 1 million people were killed, most scholarly estimates suggest between 500,000 and 662,000 Tutsi died.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rwandan_genocide

    The Jews have all the technology and are only up to 2/300,000 Palestinians after a year. The Hutu used machetes and … well, you see the numbers above. Jews are wanabe Hutu, maybe one day they will make it, they want to be the white nigger, the badest badest on the block.

    Despite the scale of the atrocities, the international community failed to intervene to stop the killings.

    Yeah, the international community is completely fucking useless, absolutely useless. So much for the rules based order, the only rules are the Hutu rules; “might makes right”.

    Another reminder … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gikondo_massacre

    A presidential guard officer entered the church, telling soldiers not to waste their bullets since the Interahamwe would soon come with machetes.

    Shortly after, about 100 Interahamwe militiamen came into the church and began to kill people, striking with their clubs and slashing with their machetes, hacking arms, legs, genitals and the faces of the terrified people who tried to protect the children under the pews.

    Yes, the Gikondo massacre, where about one hundred christians where chopped to pieces by machetes. Does it remind you of recent events, the bombing of Palestinian christians in refugee camps? As all Israel wars are religious wars, we should be aware of who is the victim; in this case Tutsi christians.

    The Jews are doing the same folks, we have seen this before, maybe we should do something this time?

    “Golden Age”

    The last golden age was named the Gilded Age.
    The Gilded Age.
    The structure built upon the foundation of The Gilded Age is The Great Depression.

    ““Vladimir, if you go after Ukraine, I am going to hit you so hard, you’re not even going to believe it. I’m going to hit you right in the middle of fricking Moscow… We’re friends. I don’t want to do it, but I have no choice.” According to the former president, Putin reacted with disbelief, saying “no way.” “Way,” Trump responded. “You’re going to be hit so hard, and I’m going to take those f**king domes right off your head,” he reportedly said, apparently referring to the Russian leader’s Kremlin residence. Trump’s term in office expired in early 2021, more than a year before the start of Russia’s military operation in Ukraine”

    There is a Nobel Peace Prize just waiting to be awarded.

    Aspnaz, there is a reason jews are hated. Every hundred years or so the jews remind civilization that they ARE worthy of hate.

Refer to The Book and the history of Prophets.

    “Caitlin Johnstone: What’s Happening In Northern Gaza Proves Israel Lied About Everything
    Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar has been killed. He died not hiding behind civilians or disguised as a woman as Israel apologists have been claiming for a year, but alone and in uniform, fighting Israeli forces with one arm blown off by tank fire.”

    Translation: Israel finally killed someone who wasn’t a child. Get out the medals.

    ““The attempt by Iran’s proxy Hezbollah to assassinate me and my wife today was a grave mistake,” the insane person said.

    Quoting because: when a sparrow falls, it’s Iran. If the sun rises, it’s Iran. IranIranIran. Really, he hasn’t the faintest idea, and it’s not even terribly clear the other organizations are “Iran Proxies” at all. When I donate to the Red Cross, am I a “Hurricane Proxy”?

It’s like a magic wand, if that magic wand cost $1M dollars and only made s—t. “Well yes, if you want tiny pieces of non-stop s—t to drop on your field workers, your phone people, and then stacks of data that are all incorrect so that your managers make the most wrong decisions possible, then a computer IS what you need.” …And all your money will leave your bank account and move to Oracle.

    We’re not talking smart people. We’re not talking dumb people. We’re talking ALL people. Every. One. Possessed by a God that destroys them daily, while they look in a mirror and watch.

Go to any of these towns and look at the buildings, this isn’t genius: Every house, barn, shop, main street is collapsing, the roofs cave in and they’re demolished. What is spanking new in town while this is happening? Government office, government welfare, Government police, Government Code enforcement, Government prisons, Government Schools. Government contractors.

    Huh, not a math surgeon, but sure looks like you STOLE all the money from those poor people with collapsed houses over their and put it in YOUR house, with an in-ground pool, buying another $5M in lights for the football team. Now WHYYYYY we gotta have in-school meals so kids can eat? Might have something to do with $6000/year taxes per property for Illinois schools? That’s $600/mo their kids could eat with. What were they in 1910, inflation adjusted? $100 a YEAR? And the kids were literate then. Crime was LOWER?

    “• Trump Claims He Threatened Putin With Strike On Moscow (RT)

    Um, whut? They only talked once in private and the media when so bananas over it you could hear the squealing from Space. They were still shrieking a year later, and trying everything but impeachment to get the records. Of a 10 minute talk.

    That’s what those MSNBC Michigan voters said. MSNBC: “Trump has promised to kill Muslim ban every country. ” (Huh? Whut? When? That never happened in the First place.) A: “Trump says a lot of things.” That was their answer to him ALSO supporting Israel against Michigan Muslims.

    Btw, I’m hearing in the wind his timing on supporting Israel for the election show, but not have to do anything after. Suddenly: Salad! Suddenly all these bad things will come out about them and it won’t be “Politically viable” to help. Awwwwww. But We tried! Honest injin, just like how we “helped” in Ukraine sending one bullet at a time. Geez, Israel if that Diddy thing hadn’t come up we’d have attacked Iran, honust! (Hahahahaha! You TRUSTED us??? What a marooooon!)

    Anyway, Trump says a lot of things. And he sez he says a lot of things. In actual fact, he went to the DMZ and hook hands with Kim who he called “Little Rocketman” a week before.

    “Russiagate
    The first area we examined is Russiagate, which, given that it is now almost nine years old,”

    You so funny. First We’re WROL: Without Rule of Law, anywhere in the country. They just make s—t up hourly. NY passed a law that made retroactive crimes legal, in order to let ONE lady accuse him. We can just un-statute of limitations. Take about 10 minutes.

    Second, they’re all Blackmailed, murderers, and probably 80% pedos. They commit crimes hourly. We can hold a South Africa clearing hearing on “What happened” and still just prosecute and give them 100 year sentence for the crimes they committed last Tuesday. And they’re probably clearer crimes than “Filed erroneous paperwork” where “Comey” was replaced with “CorNey” so it wouldn’t show in FOIA stuff.

    There’s only ONE thing you need to put them all in prison, or 90% — and I won’t even mind letting the other 10% go since they kept their nose clean after blackmail. That is: The WILL to do it. That’s all. “No reasonable person would arrest Hillary Clinton” Comey said. Because she’d kill them.

    “• Germany’s Scholz Shoots Down Ukraine’s ‘Victory Plan’ (RT)

    That’s because the Plan is to blackmail EUROPE and the U.S. and has nothing to do with Russia. Or have you never met a Ukrainian? Nuclear blackmail. And here only last month Ze said he’d unleash all Ukrainian mafia in every Capital in Europe, or did you forget THAT little nugget?

    “• Is Russia Finally Acknowledging Reality? (Paul Craig Roberts)

    • Is (Paul Craig Roberts) Finally Acknowledging Reality?
    “Awareness is descending on Paul Craig Roberts that the existence of Ukraine as an independent country is an existential threat is well known to Russia. Fixed it.

    He is expected to comment publicly for the first time as CEO on Wednesday, following the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers’ vote on the new labor contract.”

    DEI is dead. The Socialist takeover from Europe seems halted. Russian Rev 2.0 is a bust. No Civil war of Bolsheviks and Mensheviks in the streets of Detroit. We passed the test. Why? Christian restraint, actually, although of course it doesn’t look like it. Did we just take everything out on our fellow man, or not? Nationwide, as an aggregate? No, we showed morality and restraint. No “Lashing out”.

    That doesn’t mean we get to walk away, the US$ will collapse with Europe and there will be horrible fighting in the streets, but that’s not DIRECTED fighting, organized, just crime and small gangs without support. We’ll pay for our sins. They will attempt to activate all…I dunno, 30,000 sleeper agents Biden imported over the border, but they can just wreck s—t willy-nilly. AND? And when we find you, shoot you, and build it back? That’s not a Military attack. That’s just pisses us off, same as hitting ONE factory in Russia. Do they not know how big Russia is?

    Everyone said America can only fall from within. So what did Narcissistic psychopaths and Bezmanov hear? Do? Okay, thanks, we’ll attack you from within then, thanks for your help. And they did, for 50 years, while WE ALL TOLD YOU NOT TO, and you wouldn’t believe us, year after year. Honest George had WMD and ties to Al qaeda and wasn’t up to nothin’. Obama never shot no kids. It’s been an god-awful road dealing with you morons for decades. With infinite patience and restraint. So? Here we are, you get to see for yourself if we’re kidding or not Jimmy. Now that you called Daddy from a crack house where someone got shot, you’re broke and wanna come home. Well, that costs. It’s not for free, good luck. (Cue scene from Parenthood, “Okay, we’ll all go back to work, in plumbing supplies. Pay off the mafia and gambling debts.”)

    ““You can cut back on the fraudulent rackets, or you can cut back on the people.” They are cutting back on the people..”

    Happens every time. Don’t know why. Perhaps they wouldn’t be there if they weren’t weak, selfish people to begin with, and some minority DO change, even when it’s harder to get out. They could knock off their own people to cut overhead, and yes, they’ve done that. But the “MONEY” comes from – the WORK. Shocking, I know!!! And they’re doing Everything to stop work. Every. Thing. If they allowed a hundred SpaceX, they’d have the money and airspace to keep stealing! But they never do! Why? Who cares, I’m glad.

    What do they need to do here? Every Mine in the United States is shut. We probably have more gold than Mexico and Peru. OPEN THEM. Duuuuuuuuh. Der de derp derp derrr. Sell copper and rare earths that are just sitting there in Colorado instead of importing Haitians and giving them food stamps for a career. Duuuuuuuh. But they won’t, because they can’t comprehend the very THOUGHT of work. As said here, “are they stupid, why doesn’t Kamala just open come factories and employ people? She thinks this gets votes?” They can’t IMAGINE work. It’s never occurred to them, they have no experience with it. They’re Socialists, we “Redistribute” work TO others, and Money TO us. “Work” is for “Other” people: the Poors. As Tucker said about “If every Biden voter vanished, would anybody notice?” Yes, we would. A LOT! Our lives would be about 1,000x better and we’d get 25x more done every day.

    Now WHY is that? Because they aren’t TRYING to fix the United States, they are trying to DESTROY it. So they only ALLOW maniacs who think like this into the job, and murder all the others at rallies and golf courses nationwide. There is a limitless pool of people who understand work, they’re just carefully not allowed anywhere near power. By a specific cartel of mafias, above. Nothing innate or natural about it.

    Thankfully, this is so or they’d never go too far and we’d never get them off our backs. Now is the time.

    Gabor Mate, Finkestein, and like a thousand others. Kunstler. Greenwald, I think? Whole marching demonstrations of “The people who don’t exist” existing by the ten-thousands and marching for peace.

    “Pentagon Says There is No Hard Evidence of Aliens Visiting Earth (Sp.)

    Speaking of not trusting the Media, WTF? So you have official statement that the ships ON YOUR OWN WEBSITE, (US Navy) are all human? That’s just the quickest go-to. Uh-huh. Yup, well they’re setting us up for the (fake) space invasion all-rightie. Booooooooooooring.

    AI Matrix:

    But he asks and trusts a computer…on how to break and leave the Computer. Wow indeed. Now WHY does he need to say/do this? Because HUMANS have been saying this for 100 years and no one listens. They only listen to and obey computer. Now computer told you, will you go do it?

    “And by the way, the best thing that you can do for climate is to restore the soils.”

    Kind of. But there’s also so much less and more in that statement. Would it stop CO2? Not even if it’s human-caused, nope. Will it stop storms, flooding? Nope. Etc. However, it WILL do limitless good things, and help even those things, so do it anyway, maybe by doing it for a while you’ll understand.

    The BRICS report
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

    1 The current IMFS has reached its peak and needs improvements to better serve the
    evolving global economy. Recent crises have underscored the current IMFS’s
    fundamental shortcomings and destabilizing potential that stems from excessive
    reliance on a single currency and centralized financial infrastructure. Failure to correct
    this imbalance will continue to be reflected in poorer economic performance and social
    environment, as well as lagging progress towards SDGs.

    I rode my bike (flashing lights, front and rear) over to early vote before dawn. 10 minutes before the doors opened there was a pretty long line. I was wearing my Palestine bike-jersey. I was part of the scene, the experience… It was relaxed outside, but I felt the tension inside, right when I walked in.

    I voted against burning families with white-phosphorous bombs from my country and paying to shoot children in the head, if you know what I mean… Voted for that Jewish Lady Doctor Again…

    I wrote to all my representatives to stop sending Israel free shit.

    Free money, free ammunition, free weapons, free intelligence, free espionage, free diplomacy, free economic favoritism, just stop the neverending waterfall of trillions of dollars worth of free shit.

    Nothing but love for Jews and Israel. But we can see how tormented they are by receiving all that “aid,” so it is in their best interest to stop it cold turkey.

    They’ve been drunk and high as a kite like some consequence-free trust fund kid for decades now and it is just making them sicker. Their decisions are made on a calculation that includes a waterfall of neverending free shit.

    The moment the free shit stops, they will re-calculate based on that and start making sane decisions – and they will be happier too.

    So love the Jews and Israel with all your mind and all your heart and all your strength while ending the free shit today. And just keep on loving them 110% percent while watching – totally supportively, nothing but positively, approving their right to defend themselves effusively, loudly, with all our hearts – from afar while counting the hundreds of billions of dollars we saved.

    oops- $1,000,000.
    How soon before the lawfare network jumps on this?
    It’s “only in swing states” part that puzzles me.

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:
    That opium slab that you have in your hand
    Is the key to that Reset they’re planning on when
    There’s no social fabric that’s left in the land.

    Off it and cage until it is needed;
    Otherwise all of your rights are now ceded.

    Zerosum:

    Glad to hear you are keeping up a Canadian tradition in your neck of the woods!

    Here, b(*eside no duck hunting going on, there isn’t any deer hunting going on either!
    This year is the first time in over 30 years that we have not seen any deer on the island!
    Until the late 1960s there were no deer in southern Ontario but they finally reached the shores of Lake Ontario and St. Lawrence River by the 1990s.
    (We still have the deer ticks which we never had before the deer showed up!)
    The likely culprit is the island’s local resident native.who posts signs that he hunts deer from September to June.
    He only stops hunting during the July to August peak cottage season.
    I guess he will have to go to a nearby bigger island for his deer steaks and deer burgers this year.

    See posts above about Elon Musk, and others.

    So — One has to wrap ones head around the fact that the USA is run by billionaires (Musk, ready to hand out cash for votes), powerful financial conglomerates (Blackrock), influencers on the what used to be the boob tube and is now the ‘social media’ (Taylor Swift, who endorsed Harris, twice), with the votes tabulated (not counted) by rigged machines (Diebold, lovely name..), and corruption *hey babe* being the only trickle-down.

    Is civil war in the US, or a sorta quiet descent into chaos, or just hell on earth…to be the result?

    What happens next? The ‘Democratic’ pretense of the Uniparty as composed of two pol wings in struggles for ‘policies’ is dead (Kennedy, Gabbard, Musk, etc. supporting Trump) – note Harris has no ‘new’ support…This is all a charade, a show, as it has been for some time. Its function is to obscure what is going on behind the scene so to speak – that is, in the real world. 🙂 🙁
