    Yesterday:
    This AI art was extremely nice. And the season. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFZLLrqdmHA

    “X Really Is Pulling Users to the Right Elites may not be as immune to this kind of algorithmic radicalization as they think.” New York Magazine

    Yes, to the Right of Mao. NY Mag is to the LEFT of Mao, so they would know. (Mao believed in Borders and Guns. NY Does not.)

    “ Russia Can Now Disconnect Citizens and Entire Regions from the Internet” – Armstrong

    If we don’t like America doing this, then we don’t like Russia doing this either?

    “Former Norway PM Attempts Suicide After Epstein-Linked Raid, Corruption Charges: Report
    If convicted, Jagland faces up to a decade in prison…

    Darn it! If only Trump had released those records! Why does nothing happen? All these governments should be clawed up from the lowest, like Georgia elections board, up to the top like the Prime Minister of Britain. Why does nothing happen?

    “Chinese Defense Labs Exploit Nearly $1 Billion In US Research Funds, Report Says

    As usual with the Anglos, they pay for their own enemies to be constructed, then go to war with them. Ask IBM and Henry Ford.

    “Iran To Buy Chinese Supersonic Anti-Ship Missiles As US Carriers Near

    Aw shucks, it’s almost like Trump won’t be able to attack after all. Whoodaknewd? What am I saying? According to everyone, we ALREADY attacked, all regimes are changed, and we have millions of men stationed overseas in a total, attritional war.

    “The men’s team beat out Canada and took home the gold, but woke journalists are furious over their refusal to snub Trump…”

    Not any act, any attack, just a “refusal to attack.” Right. 1) “All things are Political” To communists. That’s what makes them stupid and boring. Like BE A HUMAN for two seconds, will ya? 2) Boy I’m sure glad the LEFT never attacks anyone and is a snow white party of love and light. Nothing says, “Brotherhood of man” “Solidarity of the working classes” like attacking all humans, for any reason, wherever they are found. Then they attack others for NOT attacking others. “Attack! Kill all the things humans!!!” — Communists. Why? Will the Revolution complete and peace be had when all human life is extinguished? Stop!

    “Pentagon threatens to make Anthropic a pariah if it refuses to drop AI guardrails.” CNN

    Yes, 1) because contractors should do whatever they want, not what we pay them for. Really Corporations are the government, CNN says. They say that because they and their whole staff and all reporters are Socialists. Ask them! 2) Because CNN thinks the point of a Military is to have “Guardrails” and “Safe spaces” and not hurt anyone. China would like that, and CNN works for their true masters, the Glorious Revolution, and against their hated enemy, Hate! Hate!! The Working People of the United States. Their stupid red hats, and “I need drinking water” “I need jobs” Blah blah blah…

    Duran on Ukraine stays on topic for the first in months. They’ve come to the AMAZING and very true conclusion that Europe wants war, Europe wants escalation, they just don’t want to pay for it. Whaaaaaaa??? No, no sirs, it’s always the United States! The U.S. does everything and “Just says” Alex; there is no “Europe”. What brought on this fit of honesty? Aaaaaaand Europe may WANT that, but almost nobody is DOING anything, except Germany, who is barely doing anything except dying. They are sending all remaining military hardware to Ukraine, and opening factories that can’t get supplies. It will make no difference.

    This was opened because they have this new plan – stay with me here – they are going to “Just send” all NATO troops into Ukraine, hold it forever, but that’ll be all legal n’ stuff because they won’t shoot anyone! …I mean unless Russia shoots them first. Ah. Ha. Sirs? That is “Plan A”. That’s the same plan you’ve had since 1999. Have you asked RUSSIA about it? Because my understanding is they’ll gleefully smash every living NATO man into powder, and will have little trouble doing it.

    No. Their PLAN is to get the U.S. to fight it FOR them, going back to 1st paragraph, they have ZERO pay for NATO, 1% and not 4%, have for decades, have done f—k all the last FOUR years, and are going to sit in Paris Cafes while boys from Oklahoma die for them. YUP! That’s “The Plan”.

    “Netanyahu has disrupted Trump’s negotiations” Then he doesn’t work for him, does he? You just proved it, right there. Trump was doing a thing. That thing was independent of Nutsy, obviously. So he’s not an employee. Then WHEN he found out – because Trump didn’t tell him – Nutsy then said, “HEY! You have to stop!” But then Trump did NOT stop, so Nutsy had to take public action to “Disrupt” Trump from doing all these actions Nutsy doesn’t like. …The Same as all other leaders. When Iran doesn’t like something, they also “Disrupt.” China non-stop “Disrupts”, with having Fang-Fang give orders, running Feinstein’s office and posting dumb AI Asians online. That’s called “All leaders, every day, in all history.”

    So when Trump does it, it means the #Opposite. Don’t look at me! This is YOUR evidence, YOUR sentence and logic-tree, not mine.

    Ambassador Chas Freeman: Yup! We’re in a “War”! We have millions of men streaming into Iran from all sides, even as we speak! Bombshell! Walls are closing in! (Meanwhile, men are booked in offices, drinking tea and talking on the phone. That’s REALITY.)

    Trump has no offramp” – Mearsheimer. Right! Because Trump is well known to be fully predictable and never change his mind. IF ONLY we had a short war – say for 12 days or something – and could PROVE this amazing hypothesis! Trump is well known for the hundreds – nay, THOUSANDS of wars he’s started, leaving the orders to remove from Syria, F-Stan, Sudan, Yemen, etc to those Peace-loving Democrats!

    “Trump has no offramp” – Mearsheimer.” Right! Just like in North Korea, that “Little Rocket Man” or EVERY G-DD—N NEGOTIATION HE’S EVER BEEN IN FOR FORTY YEARS SINCE HE WROTE THAT BOOK TELLING EVERYONE ONE PLANET DIRT WHAT HE DOES. I guess every expert on earth is illiterate, since he published “the big Ask” in 1986 and everyone just falls for it again. EVERY. DAY. Thanks John. There’s a special pointy hat in the back of the classroom, take your stool with the other geniuses. God, generally I think quite highly of him.

    “If I can MAKE you do things, I am your Master. You are my Slave.”
    So this is what Trump is all about. — M. Reid

    According to Reid everyone obeys Trump! Well known! He “just says” and you obey.

    …Speak for yourself, I don’t. If you want to obey him, that’s your prerogative. He makes you jump, all day, every day.

    “Their air defense will shoot down numerous US planes and capture their pilots and put them on parade like a replay of 1980 National Hostage Humiliation.
    This will be a Colossal Defeat for Trump.
    It will be the end of his 2nd term.

    Which is why OF COURSE everyone is perfectly certain it will happen. “Mr. President, don’t put that gun to your head! It’s loaded with bullets!” “Shaddap! This is how I’ve won for 50 years since I was 20.” …Said no one ever. Okay, so We can take Nixon and Andre off the air? Never to be heard from again if this doesn’t happen? No? They get to be wrong EVERY. DAY. For a decade, come on, are considered perfectly stable geniuses again? When does it end? When do we re-attach “Reality” – what actually happens – back to your minds and end the psychosis?

    “Trump is the true face of all the oligarchs.” Why you hitting yourself? Why you assassinating yourself?

    Protecting pedos = first person in 30 years to release 3 Million documents while whole governments fall. What is it with your people? Why do you make me have to do this? STOP LOSING YOUR MINDS.

    What is happening is not simple, but it’s not hard either. “Reality” is DEFINED as the thing that is not constantly and completely self-contradictory to 12 year olds. “Reality” is ONE thing, not a never-ending system of “Opposite” things. Aren’t you tired of being constantly alarmed and WRONG every day?

    But! You sure had me with the millions of men we have stationed in Caracas and North Korea! You guys got all that one right. Big “L” on the forehead for me missing those two! STOOOOOOP!!!!!!

    Today:
    “It was pure, unadulterated patriotism and American optimism.” Guh! Gag.

    “If you think Donald Trump is going to get graded as one of the greatest presidents… I wonder if you’re smoking crack.”

    Democrats made him that. THEY give Trump all his power with their focus. He’s nothing without them. If there is only ONE man and his name is Trump – as every commenter here believes – then HE must be the God-King-Emperor, the guy in charge. Obviously! YOU said that. I keep telling you NOT to say it, since 2016. Scrooooooool above ^^ You see me saying it there again, almost every paragraph? Why is this Orange Man your God? He’s not my god, he’s just some jackass YOU keep talking about.

    “France and Britain’s plans to transfer nuclear weapons to Ukraine”

    That can’t be right: they are innocent babes subject to the U.S. Empire and do anything Donald Trump says! I hear it daily, hourly, minute-ly. Trump is a Putin-Puppet BUT ALSO wants non-stop total war with Russia, and drags Europe along when they are just peace-loving innocents. Yet here Trump and the whole U.S. are out and Europe will burn the earth to a cinder to keep war? Huh.

    “Optimus would be a better surgeon than the best surgeons on Earth. “Three years. I’d say three years at scale.”

    Meanwhile his self-driving cars are still killing everyone 10 years after the same promise. Just yesterday, AI robots intentionally killed the Internet at Amazon. How is it that NO amount of contact with Tech, not a LIFETIME of continuous failure, and the minute somebody says “Yay tech” everyone jumps on again? No wonder nothing works.

    “The issues detailed in the affidavit were largely discovered years ago by concerned citizens using data obtained through freedom of information requests or litigation.”

    If only Trump and the DoJ would DO anything! …While Congress makes sure they have no legal prosecuting attorneys.

    Unhinged Dictator that he is, he then arrested Congress, installed any Prosecutor he liked, and shot all opposition. Oh wait, No?? So he’s bad if does things AND bad if he does not do things? Make up your mind. All things and their Opposites. BothNeitherAi.

    ““Parikh believed this showed that the memory cards were removed from the original tabulator and put in another tabulator to print out the closing tabulator tapes.”

    If any of this is possible, there should not be electronic voting. All of these systems are voluntary and could have been created in a secure way.

    “Trump is marching America towards fascism.”

    He does this by limiting the monopoly power of Google, Facebook, insurers, other corporations and attacking all the Oligarchs who then assassinate him back. #Logic. STOPPING Oligarchs = Merging Oligarchs. Got it.

    “Trump is “violating the law and Constitution” by deporting criminal illegal aliens”

    Following the Law = Breaking the law. Got it. All things = Opposite of all things.

    Back to my theory Trump has their blackmail files and constantly phones down to the Democrats epically losing moves. Like supporting illegals over citizens in SotU Congressional floor, (Inter)National cameras on every one of them.

    “I refuse to legitimize it,” Ramirez stated”

    He has to Signal it. Signaling = Reality. …For the psychotic and criminally insane.

    “• Trump, Along With Democrats, Will Make Their Case Tuesday at State of the Union (JTN)

    Pushing one of my major points, and even here, having Claude decide what Trump already said/will say tomorrow, WHY are you reporting on things that never happened? Yet? JUST WAIT. You can report this morning when and after it DID happen. K? That’s a thing we can actually do. We can actually wait until there are facts, AND THEN report them. Not before. Not picking on this article, author is setting the stage, but opportunity to make the same point. It’s PSYCHOSIS. Stop being Psychotic. Re-Attach to “Reality.” Reality is where ONE and only ONE real, actual objective thing actually happened. That’s the meeting place for all live, non-insane people. Please be one of them.

    ““.. How much is [Rice] being paid, and for what???“

    That’s more my point. She has free speech, although she’s nearing the edge of calling for specific violent, death-camp purges here. But WHY is she paid at Netflix? A: It’s the new form of “Getting a book deal” which is just bribery and payoffs. Yeah, none of those “Book deals” sold copies either. So Obama would get $50M book deal and $2M in books would sell. Filled by Wall St, Madoff and Epstein.

    “• Royal Theater, Silent Streets (David Manney)

    Adding as parallel Prince Andrew, Starmer ran it all. He oversaw all rapes all as his job as Home Secretary. People told him, the scandals popped up even in the news that whole time. He tamped them down so the rapes could continue. I think of that man who tracked down his daughter to their door, faced the entire gang of murdering rapists, called the police…and was arrested. His daughter was returned to the rapists. Every. Day. So goes for 12-year old girls in Scotland. They can only defend themselves with long knives, and only if they’re underage or they too will be arrested. More immigrants were imported today, from a dozen nations where this is normal behavior. Starmer continues to approve and strain every muscle to help increase it. MOAR RAPES!!!!!!!

    Ah! Government at work. What’s that you say? Epstein isn’t “Government”? Well aside from: he was, he was directing Congressmen, ran kingmakers in UK, was integral to wars such as Ukraine, without government THOSE DAUGHTERS’ FATHERS WOULD JUST HAVE SHOT HIM. 50c bullet. Done. Government does DO things, but the major purpose of government is to PREVENT things. They stop things from getting done. Like good works. Free Public services like the aforementioned.

    “• Ukraine Hates Us – Hungary (RT)

    Good thing they’re really busy right now or they’d probably invade.

    “• The New Navalny Poison – This Swedish Disinformation is a British Lie (Helmer)

    Precisely the same as Assange. Boy if only Sweden were a sovereign country! How can we make that happen?

    “Jamie Dimon signaled that the bank is shifting from traditional banking rails to blockchain infrastructure”

    Yes and a lot of it is XRP. Therefore price go down. XRP is also not a crypto. It’s controlled and held as a private ledger.

    “Promethean Action

    I pick on everyone, but they keep doing good work and their predictions keep coming through most reasonably. This is all we can ask.

    Day (Delayed): I don’t see any reason for the 12,000 Sun nova theory to be incorrect. I was on Hapgood back a zillion years ago when things called “Books” roamed the earth. So here’s the problem: if you have a 12,000 year cycle then the +/- margin of error runs a hundred years? Hundreds of years? And we will know this by looking at the sun. Okay, yes, but we have no Science or no RECORDS of science from the last one, so nothing to go on. Total (educated) guess.

    How is this useful? It may be true – in fact, some variation of it probably is – but then what? Here’s the other part: from the actions of RICH people, THEY think something like this is going to happen “Imminently” by their actions. But they may be just as wrong. Look at “Kingsman” that is Jackson’s whole “Noah’s Ark” plot, which they are definitely running in the real world. You just SAY this is going to happen, point at this evidence, get Klaus and Elon in the DUMB bunker-city, then toss in a grenade and lock the door. I would. It’s way more useful and likely than actually picking the process and flip date.

    From last night when Trump was talking: Disappearing Money https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/disappearing-money

    Michael Hudson, Destiny of Civilization – Financialization & Collapse, discussion with Glen Diesen and transcript
    Michael Hudson explains that the objective of classical economics was to minimize rent extraction, and to use a mixed economic approach of private industrial capital and governmental provision of infrastructure to keep labor healthy and labor costs low. All of that led to the American industrial miracle, German industrial miracle, Japanese and Chinese, etc. This was the natural and healthy evolution of Industrial Capitalism.
    This began in England between about 1805 and 1846, when rent collecting landed gentry fought to maintain taxes on imported food, to keep their rent collections up. Eventually those “corn laws” were rescinded, feeding workers more cheaply, to the benefit of workers and industry. Further governmental services, like land allotments to grow some food, and improved water and sewage services, also bolstered worker health to the benefit of society and industry.
    “Free markets” then meant free-from-excessive-rent-collection, as opposed to the current case where (non-productive) Financial Capitalists are free to maximize rent collection through creation of monopolies and purchase of political favors.
    The situation is that industrial capitalism in the US has been hollowed out to support financial rent collection, while moving production to areas with low costs and lax regulation.
    Hudson repeatedly makes the point that supporting productive industry through government infrastructure and health programs at low cost, while minimizing rent-extraction, keeps wealth circulating in a society, to the benefit of the society, while extracting and concentrating that wealth in a few hands weakens all productive enterprises, in the interests of financial capitalists owning more and more of a weaker and less productive system.
    https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2026/02/michael-hudson-destiny-of-civilization-financialization-collapse.html

    Former Assistant Secretary of HUD Catherine Austin Fitts describes how the U.S. government stole $50 trillion of taxpayer money, used Epstein to launder it, and then poisoned Americans to shorten their lifespans:
    “We hit the Great Financial Crisis, and then we have $29 trillion of bailouts. So we had $21 trillion of missing money from the US government, and now we have $29 trillion in bailouts. That’s $50 trillion…
    So we’re talking about putting the United States in a debt trap, and somebody walks off with $50 trillion… “[And] Jeffrey Epstein made his first visit to the Clinton White House arranged by Bob Rubin, who was the Secretary of Treasury when the money started to go missing… And at the time he was national economic adviser.
    I believe Jeffrey Epstein ran the SWIFT system on the missing money … the sex was just part of creating related control files that they used.” https://x.com/SenseReceptor/status/2025248808209469545

    A former World Bank president has sounded the alarm, revealing that the Federal Reserve has lost over a trillion dollars—and counting—turning it into nothing more than a massive hedge fund for the rich and powerful.
    He claims the Fed is borrowing money from banks at 5.4% interest, then pouring it into government bonds, creating the illusion that the government’s financial situation is better than it actually is.
    He warns that this scheme isn’t just limited to the U.S.—it’s happening across central banks worldwide. https://x.com/conspiracyb0t/status/2024581671031636113

    ​ US evacuates hundreds of troops from Qatar, Bahrain amid Iran tensions: Report
    Reported pullout seen as precautionary ahead of possible US strikes on Iran, expected to trigger retaliation against American forces region-wide​ https://www.aa.com.tr/en/americas/us-evacuates-hundreds-of-troops-from-qatar-bahrain-amid-iran-tensions-report/3836259

    ​ A Dozen US F-22 Stealth Jets Land In Israel As Iran Tensions Soar
    Israel’s public broadcaster KAN has reported that at least 12 US F-22 fighter jets landed at an Israeli air base in the south of the country, connected with the ongoing Pentagon build-up threatening anti-Tehran action.
    ​ “Twelve US F-22 fighter jets landed this afternoon at one of the Israeli Air Force bases in the south of the country, as part of the American deployment in the Middle East,” KAN said.
    ​ The publication added of what is the world’s most sophisticated and high-tech stealth jet, that​ it is capable of “penetrating enemy territory and disabling air​ defense systems and radar installations.”
    ​ Local media further described the fighter jets’ presence as in anticipation of potential new attacks by Iran-aligned Houthi forces in Yemen. The Houthis had previously, in solidarity with Gaza and Iran, pummeled Israel with long-range drones and ballistic missiles.​ https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/dozen-us-f-22-warplanes-land-israel-iran-tensions-soar

    ​ A false-flag “Iranian” attack on the US might make Trump attack, right? Simplicius, The Strategic Dilemma At the Heart of Iran’s Struggle
    Contradictory bouts of news and rumor continue to pour in surrounding Trump’s ‘imminent’ attack on Iran. The buildup is said to be the largest since the Iraq war, with various figures like ex-CIA operative John Kiriakou giving their renditions of ‘insider intel’ that Trump has already sealed the fated decision and is ready to roll heavy within the next 48 hours. Iranian officials, on the other hand, appear to signal that talks will continue into next weekend, and there are varied reports about deals gaining traction.
    ​ It’s clear that Trump has been wavering due to major second thoughts about a prolonged conflict. Multiple reports have indicated he may be leaning towards a “compromise” of limited strikes in order to coerce Iran into a deal, rather than risking an all out conflict which could end in humiliation.​..
    ​..We know that Trump’s real motivation for the Iran strikes is not US’s own intelligence regarding some nonexistent Iranian potential, but rather the pressure from Israel. That means for Trump the main operative goal is to somehow satisfy his Israeli superiors and relieve the pressure, rather than achieving any one particular military objective. As long as he can give them a good “college try” and prove his loyalty with a thrashing of Iran, he may deem his debt paid and pull the plug. Israel, of course, will never be fully satisfied until Iran is entirely destroyed, but this is simply how the game works: Trump relieves pressure by striking Iran even if it doesn’t entirely satisfy Netanyahu.​..
    ..It should also be noted that some are convinced Tucker Carlson has just single-handedly saved Iran from destruction by outing Israel’s true plans in his interview with ultra-Zionist Mike Huckabee, US’s ambassador to Israel. Recall that Carlson was detained in Israel in quite unfriendly fashion as he’s been internally deemed a kind of enemy of the state for exposing Israel’s propaganda… In the interview, Huckabee implied to Carlson his belief that Israel is entitled to conquer the entire Middle East, as per its biblically chosen stature.​..
    ..This sent a firestorm of outrage throughout the Middle East, with the ministries of every major country writing an ‘open letter’ of protest​:
    ​ The Ministries of Foreign Affairs of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, UAE, Indonesia, Pakistan, Türkiye, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Lebanon, Syria, and Palestine, together with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), the League of Arab States (LAS), and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) express their strong condemnation and profound concern regarding the statements made by the United States Ambassador to Israel, in which he indicated that it would be acceptable for Israel to exercise control over territories belonging to Arab states, including the occupied West Bank.​
    ​ This outrage, many now believe, could have led to Trump rethinking a long-term military campaign against Iran…
    ..This potential coming attack amounts to Israel’s last chance against Iran, because after midterms wherein Trump could lose control of all Congress, he may never again regain the political capital to engage in such large-scale unilateral actions.​ https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/the-strategic-dilemma-at-the-heart

    ​ Israel plans to turn Gaza into a “cashless society” where the IDF fully controls who has access to e-money, who one can transact with, how much, & who starves to death

    Andrew Korybko, Trump 2.0’s Grand Strategy Against China Is Slowly But Surely Coming Together
    This is the grand strategic context within which Russia’s talks with the US and Ukraine are taking place.
    ​ Casual observers are convinced that Trump is a madman with no method behind his madness, but the reality is that he and his team – collectively known as Trump 2.0 – are slowly but surely implementing their grand strategy against China. Every one of their moves abroad should be seen as a means to this end. They want to comprehensively contain China and then coerce it into a lopsided trade deal that “rebalance[s] China’s economy toward household consumption” per the National Security Strategy.
    ​ Trump 2.0 doesn’t want to go to war over this, however, which is why they’re careful to avoid replicating the Imperial Japanese precedent. Piling too much economic-structural pressure on China at once could spook it into lashing out in desperation before the window of opportunity closes.​ https://korybko.substack.com/p/trump-20s-grand-strategy-against

    ​ The acting Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenski is trying to use a Russian attack in January on energy infrastructure in Ukraine, which he alleged damaged the Druzhba pipeline, to block further transfer of Russian crude oil to Hungary and Slovakia.

    ​ German Court Rules X Platform Must Turn Over Data on Hungarian Govt Support
    The European Union has a major targeting effort against Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, an ally of President Trump who does not support giving additional funding to the Ukraine war effort. Hungary is having national elections in April.​..
    ..As noted by Hungarian Minister Zoltan Kovacs, “Many have asked how Hungary can block the €90 billion Ukrainian war loan if we are not participating in it. clarified that the loan does not affect Hungary and does not entail any financial commitment for us. As Hungary is not part of the cooperation, in most of the decision-making procedures we do not even vote. However, he pointed out that for the scheme to function, the EU’s seven-year budget guarantee rules must be amended – and this requires the approval of all 27 member states, not only the financing member states. We are now blocking this decision, without which the war loan cannot be disbursed.”​ https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2026/02/21/german-court-rules-x-platform-must-turn-over-data-on-hungarian-govt-support/#more-280862

    ​ Andrew Korybko, Poland’s Conservative Opposition Has Good Reason To Reject A Gigantic EU Loan For Arms
    The larger trend is that “The EU’s Planned Transformation Into A Military Union Is A Federalist Power Play”, and this could become a fait accompli if two-thirds of Poland’s EU-allocated €40 billion low-cost loans go towards German-produced military-technical equipment. After all, that sum (€26 billion) is over half of Poland’s 2026 defense expenditures (€46 billion), which could therefore result in the radical reorientation of its armed forces towards its neighbor’s wares. The strategic implications are obvious.
    ​ Poland’s conservative opposition accordingly has good reason to reject this gigantic EU loan since the terms would and risk reversing the gains that it’s made vis-à-vis Germany with respect to their regional rivalry.
    ​ Liberal-globalist Prime Minister Donald Tusk claimed that Nawrocki’s veto of the law for implementing SAFE would be a “betrayal of national interests”, but since Nawrocki’s ally Kaczynski believes that Tusk is a “German agent”, Nawrocki might thus not be deterred.​ https://korybko.substack.com/p/polands-conservative-opposition-has

    Russia has begun flight testing its new stratospheric communications platform.
    ​ Barrazh-1′ is a balloon-based system. It is designed to provide broadband internet from altitudes of about 20 km. This is far above conventional aircraft and terrestrial infrastructure.
    ​ At this altitude, a single platform can cover vast territories, functioning as a pseudo-satellite without ever reaching orbit.

    Zionist English devolved into Anglicans who killed Jews and Christians (and Buddhists , too!) by the million.

    Zionist Israelis created Evangelicals who killed Jews, Christians, Muslims, Buddhist and everyone else in their vicinity near enough to enslave, murder and rob, by the tens of millions.

    Almost there! All that remains is for English speaking Marxist Evangelical Christian Nazi’s to trigger that nuclear war that they’ve been itching for and their blood sacrifice to Baal will be finally consummated.

    Elitism is the notion that individuals who form an elite—a select group with desirable qualities such as intellect, wealth, power, fame, physical attractiveness, notability, special skills, experience, lineage—are more likely to be constructive to society and deserve greater influence or authority. The term elitism may be used to describe a situation in which power is concentrated in the hands of a limited number of people.

    PATRICK LAWRENCE: To Whom Are Our Liars Lying & What Is the Point of Their Lies?

    PATRICK LAWRENCE: To Whom Are Our Liars Lying & What Is the Point of Their Lies?
    February 25, 2026

    In the resulting empire of lies it no longer makes any difference that no one believes anything. It does not matter, in other words, that America makes its way in the world on the basis of endless deceits. The only ones who to have to believe any of the lies are those telling them, and among these people pretending to believe them is sufficient.

    There are reams of this stuff around just now, more all the time, it seems. And it is not enough to tag it clunky propaganda and leave it at that: This meta-reality is congealing before our eyes into a view of the world, a new geopolitical take, that we can accept if we wish, although it does not matter one way or the other if we do or do not.
