I think maybe it’s time for me to apologize to you.Even though I did little wrong, I have been missing. I got hit with a nasty eye infection early this week, It has made reading and writing all but impossible, and it will take another week for it to heal;

And that as Trump and Elon are puffing up their egos. Or whatever that is. Keep it up for another week, guys,

See you all soon in good health and great intrigue.

    US Investigates Army Vehicle Displaying Word ‘Kafir’ In Northeast Syria

    FRIDAY, JUN 06, 2025 – 06:25 PM

    The US-led coalition in Syria has launched a formal investigation after “unapproved symbols or language” were observed on a US military vehicle in northeast Syria, the coalition said in a statement to Middle East Eye on Friday.

    On Thursday, MEE reported that a US military vehicle patrolling near the city of Hasakah last weekend displayed the word “kafir” – infidel in Arabic – on its front next to a Christian cross.

    “US Refuses Air Cover For European ‘Reassurance Force’ In Postwar Ukraine

    We’re critical to this. They failed. This is a key in escalating the war as they’ve written about. “Escalating” meaning: they mouth off and get us IN it, then they run away and make us FIGHT it. Call it the Estonian Plan. Escalation is arguably a different thing. That’s when anyone is honestly in it at all, and didn’t expect.

    It is extremely expensive to create a geopolitical environment of total immunity from legal liability for a product, service or procedure. Not only are the direct expenses of pay-offs, bribes and the salaries of myriad minions there is also the practically immeasurable expense of lost income because so many valuable (and hard to acquire) resources must be directed toward accomplishment of the “immunity” objective that might otherwise have been more productively invested in real product.

    Government is an excellent example of how this occurs, and what the consequences are when the malady becomes dangerously advanced. Eventually (and it tends to be sooner rather than later) resources that would be much better spent on food, shelter, clothing and the general welfare and security of an entire nation (or species!!) are spent almost exclusively on the ruling elite protecting themselves from the righteous indignation, wrath and sheer necessity to survive of the people that the government in question has been ruthlessly ripping off for generations.

    The devolutionary disaster is a self-regulating process due to the hard-science physical fact that at some point (and it tends to be later rather than sooner because people DON’T actually like to fight. They prefer peace and prosperity) the amount of resource that even CAN be wrongly extracted falls below the level that MUST be extracted in order to keep the victimized majority at bay, and the inevitable reversal of dominance plays out as it must. In the end, physics, science and the Divine Laws which govern the Universe have their way.

    In other words, duck and cover you despicably Satanic Cabal of miscreants. Righteousness is about to roll over you like that ol’ Biblical flood, and there’s not a damned thing that you or anybody else can do to stop it, not even the righteous.

    One of the nastier and spiritually ugly political apparatchiks of a bygone era once publicly said that “When you’ve got them by the balls their hearts and minds will follow.”

    Now, because this otherwise useless criminal (shyster lawyer Chuck Colson was Richard Nixon’s hatchet man) was so otherwise forgettable that most people have forgotten him, but they still do very much remember the bastard who he stole the saying from. It was from the incredibly corrupt politician, assassin and Vietnam War mass murderer, President Lyndon Baines Johnson, whose entire political philosophy could be summed up in his declaration, “I never trust a man until I’ve got his pecker in my pocket.”

    The entire human enterprise of government is not hard to fathom; it’s just hard to stomach. Almost no one has the balls to admit that it is NOTHING other than the urge to acquire POWER over others, no matter what the cost and no matter who has to die to make it so.

    Once that fundamental fact is known and accepted then study of the subject can productively begin. Until that point one is not studying government, but is instead merely indulging in evasive delusion and feel-good fantasy and almost certainly doing so as the consequence of having fallen prey to a government of one kind or another that you’re not even aware of (and for that very reason.)

    Will Trump succeed where no one has succeeded in creating a stable civilization?
    Summary by copilot

    Throughout history, different social structures have thrived for long periods, shaping civilizations and economies. Here are a few notable examples:

    – Feudalism (Medieval Europe & Japan): A hierarchical system where landowners (lords) granted land to vassals in exchange for military service and loyalty. It lasted for centuries, providing stability but also reinforcing class divisions.
    – Confucian Bureaucracy (Imperial China): A merit-based system where scholars, selected through rigorous exams, governed the empire. This structure ensured continuity and effective administration for over a thousand years.
    – Democratic Republics (Ancient Rome & Modern Nations): Rome’s early republic laid the foundation for governance models that balance power among elected representatives. Today, democratic systems continue to evolve and adapt.
    – Tribal & Clan-Based Societies (Indigenous Cultures Worldwide):

    USSS Ordered Destruction Of White House Cocaine Day After Closing Case

    Two years after the U.S. Secret Service discovered a bag of cocaine in the White House in July, 2023, documents showing orders for its destruction within 24 hours after the agency closed the case are raising new questions about the scrupulousness of the investigation.

    The destruction of narcotics evidence must comply with environmental and safety regulations, and the D.C. police department has an Environmental Protection Agency-approved incinerator that federal agencies often use to destroy narcotics that are not involved in active legal cases.

    D.C. police officials referred all questions about the cocaine’s apparent destruction to the FBI.

    There’s no entry or date for the cocaine’s actual destruction.

    Prime Minister Carney announces Canada’s G7 priorities ahead of the Leaders’ Summit
    Main Content
    June 7, 2025
    Ottawa, Ontario
    Fifty years ago, in the face of upheaval and geopolitical tensions, a small group of advanced economies formed what is now the G7 – a forum for co-operation, stability, and shared prosperity. In 2025, as global challenges intensify, the G7 must meet this moment with purpose and with force.

    Today, the Prime Minister, Mark Carney, announced the priorities that will guide Canada’s 2025 G7 Leaders’ Summit, to be held in Kananaskis, Alberta, from June 15 to 17, 2025.

    Anchored in building stronger economies, Canada will seek agreements and co-ordinated action on three core missions:

    Protecting our communities and the world – strengthening peace and security, countering foreign interference and transnational crime, and improving joint responses to wildfires.
    Building energy security and accelerating the digital transition – fortifying critical mineral supply chains and using artificial intelligence and quantum to unleash economic growth.
    Securing the partnerships of the future – catalyzing enormous private investment to build stronger infrastructure, create higher-paying jobs, and open dynamic markets where businesses can compete and succeed.
    Other discussions will include a just and lasting peace for Ukraine and other areas of conflict around the world, and a forward-looking agenda that engages partners beyond the G7, recognizing that our long-term security and prosperity will depend on building coalitions with reliable partners and common values.

    Quote
    “Canada has what the world wants and the values to which others aspire. The G7 Leaders’ Summit in Kananaskis is a moment for Canada to work with reliable partners to meet challenges with unity, purpose, and force. Canada is ready to lead.”

    The Rt. Hon. Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada

    Quick Facts
    This is the seventh time that Canada has held the Presidency of the G7.
    This year’s Leaders’ Summit in Kananaskis, Alberta, will take place on the traditional territory of the Blackfoot Confederacy Nations of the Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika, and the Stoney Nakoda Nations comprised of the Bearspaw, Chiniki, and Goodstoney First Nations, and the Tsuut’ina First Nation. We also acknowledge the Otipemisiwak Métis People and Government who reside on this territory and all people who make their homes in the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta.

    as the two words deep state fall more freguently much as dribble from an infants lips a test to determine how deep the deep state is;

    mount your automobile and navigate your local environ. Pass through the upscale shopping areas, drive by all of the medium to upscale gated communities, find the “fine” hotels and restaurants and finally pass by any luxury townhouses and condominiums.
    When you have completed your drive you have an account of the deep state in your community. Does your home fall within any of the above mentioned areas? Congratulations you too are a member of the “deep state”.
    Next time out, go slumming and visit the poor side of town. Ask yourself as you navigate the realm of the indigent, “Do I have anything to lose if the current paradigm is abolished?”

    As a solace for your drive back to your residence hum Kristofferson’s Me and Bobby McGee. As you pull into your driveway remember – “Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose”

    Zaporozhye Governor Yevgeny Balitsky has started publishing lists of identified Ukrainian soldiers whose bodies Kiev refuses to reclaim — despite prior agreements during the second round of negotiations. So far, Balitsky has published the first six pages to help families learn the fate of their loved ones.
    Balitsky says the refusal is a deliberate attempt to conceal the scale of losses and avoid paying compensation to families. As long as a soldier is officially listed as “missing,” Kiev owes nothing — not a single hryvnia.

    As seen from the list, the bodies were recovered from across the entire front line — not just from the Kursk direction, as Ukrainian media claimed.

    So my question was “energy used per carat of lab diamonds versus energy used per output of chatgpt”
    And this was the reply:
    “Lab-grown diamonds consume significantly more energy per carat than ChatGPT requests. Lab diamond production can require 250-750 kWh per carat, while a single ChatGPT request uses around 3 watt-hours (or potentially as low as 0.3 watt-hours). This means that producing a single carat of lab diamond can use hundreds of times more energy than a typical ChatGPT query.” 

    Hundreds of times! How many chat queries are there per day?

    Break deBeers! Reset those who thought diamonds would get them over the border.

    I like pretty rocks.
    In heaven, God would say “I need some agates for dinner tonight. There’s a pile of beach stones over there. Could you find me a few?

    “Eventually, the conversation turned to one of the most hotly debated topics of the last decade: Jeffrey Epstein. Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino had recently made waves by stating unequivocally that Epstein died by suicide…

    Righttttt…whatever you clowns say….

    ..

    The public has been demanding answers for years. Where are the files? Is there any footage? Were the powerful protected? Rogan pushed Patel for clarity.

    “Patel promised transparency, but with a clear boundary. “We’re going to give you everything that we can and people have to remember, we’re not going to revictimize women,” he said. “We’re not going to put that shit back out there.”

    -“Revictimze” raped children by arresting the rapists is called justice motherfucking scum Patel.
    Put WHAT shit back out where? Nothing but bs had been put out there this entire time.
    Maxwell doesn’t know who raped the kids either huh?

    “Then came the question everyone was waiting for: “Is there video from the island?” Rogan asked.
    Patel was direct. “Not of what you want… If I had it, I’d be the first guy to bring this case hard and fast.”

    He emphasized that he and his team combed through every file they were legally allowed to access—and what they found didn’t support the popular narrative. “I got here 100 days ago. I can’t be held to account for 20 years of failures,” he said.

    And if any damning evidence ever did exist, Patel admitted it’s entirely possible it was wiped out long ago.”

    -Hold the fuck on- “legally allowed to access” ? An international crime ring child raping operation involving some of the wealthiest and powerful politicians…and you’re not allowed to access! By who?
    The other intel agencies like mossad mi6 and cia ?

    ,,,

    JFC- this whole thing is fucking sickening-

    Trump buddies with Epstein… Gates, RFK files on Epsteins plane…. Nah I think its pretty clear who the rapists are. Why would you release that about Trump when you can use him for everything you want.

    ….

    Oh look, another BOMBSHELL– the most overused bs word in media-
    BOMBFUCKINGSHELLL !

    But the most explosive moment of the interview came when Patel shifted his focus to Dr. Anthony Fauci.
    This was the bombshell.
    After years of stonewalling, vanishing records, and unanswered questions, a major breakthrough had finally arrived: Fauci’s COVID-era phones and hard drives—once thought to be missing—had been found.
    “We just had a great breakthrough this week on Fauci,” Patel revealed.

    Yeah right you fucking douchebag- We know Fauci and the US were behind covid development and release. Go fuck yourself with a bombshell.

    And this time, he says, the truth won’t be buried.

    This time, yawn. Biden admin, Trump admin- ALL US Govt Admins- lying fucking scum.
    Bombshell that.

    Believe me. believe me…

    People are finally voicing second thought about Kafaybe. They’re like “Waitaminnit. If They had this on Trump for 20 years – and everyone did, they did, Mossad did, the FBI did – then WHY haven’t they used it before?” OMG, ya think?

    Here’s the punchline: predictable as rain, the Democrats now demand the release of the Epstein files, on live camera, on national TV, who didn’t have a peep about the list ever before. And I don’t mean now, with Patel, with the Gislaine case, I mean waaaaaaay back to the first days with Clinton. Never wanted that list ever. Crimes committed? Don’t care, bear. I’m like “Whyyy? Wouldn’t all your Republicans be on that list MORE or you could make sure of that?” Nope! This is America, dammit! No crimes are prosecuted! And the bigger the crime, the less it is prosecutedededed.

    Anyway, so now the DNC will riot unless they get the list. Okay Bri’er Bear. You throw me wherever you want.

    Kash Patel Announces New Discovery That Could Finally Take Fauci Down

    They SWATTED Patel. They Swatted, called the Police to kill the Director of the FBI. On Joe Rogan, the biggest (english?) podcast in the world. Crickets. Too busy with kayfaybe. And then ALSO this, with Fauci, Comey, dozens of other high-level people.

    ““Me as the Director of the FBI—when I first got to the Bureau, found a room that Comey and others hid from the world in the Hoover Building, full of documents and computer hard drives that no one had ever seen or heard of.”
    Rogan, visibly shocked, blurted out, “Whatttttt….”
    Patel described a secure room, locked away and buried deep, with access so tightly controlled that even its existence was unknown to most.
    “Locked the key and hid access, and just said, no one’s ever going to find this place.”
    Rogan again: “Whaaaaaaat?!”
    Patel continued, “Yeah, so my guys are going through that right now.”

    But never mind all that. Trump says Elon dresses funny, so…priorities..

    Lindsay Graham’s “Bone crushing sanctions”:
    “Graham, who authored the legislation, has provocatively described it as “the most draconian bill I’ve ever seen in my life in the Senate”

    Are you high, or just retarded? Nobody cares. We already proved they do nothing but help them. Do whatever. But also same with the drone strike: Okay 18 months, damaged some large planes, but what? Nothing changed on the battlefield, in the conflict, at all. Everyone seems uncaring of this point. Because they “Signaled”. They Signaled but good, boy-howdy! We signaled the f— out of Russia. That’s how wars are won, with a lot of talk, then more talk, and signaling.

    Problem: BRITAIN ACTUALLY BELIEVES THIS S—T. They believe all their smoke-jamming James Bond PR. Back studies on WWII show that all that clever sabotage, Guns of Navaronne, dam busting, was annoying sure, but had NO EFFECT ON THE REICHSWEHR. Or the war. What it was is PR to make the U.S. THINK they were of any value whatsoever. And thus to draw us in. Now, a generation later, they believe their own Bulls—t which usually happens.

    So they, NATO, thinks 1) This is fine and we just keep doing it, we’ll win since it works so well. But 2) Russia will never, ever, ever do anything, even if we destroy every nuclear base on the continent. Therefore, why not? Plan’s on, Stan! First-strike nuke everything in Russia, they won’t nuke back! We already bombed their nuclear radar, these bases, the Kremlin, the Moscow Opera, a passenger train while it was on the bridge. Clearly we’re right!

    Nuke ‘em all, let God sort ‘em out. C’mon Satan! Don’t be a p—y!

    ….And as the U.S. edges away, leaving Europe holding the bag. But it’s difficult to make this case to the public…or rather that part’s easy, it’s hard to make the case to the maniacs in power, businessmen, congress, generals…
