ParticipantTrump with Netanyahu’s cock firmly in his mouth and out his arse …. America is so pathetic. The Orange Jew has already given the world an ultimatum “America or you are dead”, now it’s puppet in Ukraine is pretending to fight back, it’s puppet in Taiwan is treatening to start a war with mainland China …. yes, that peasant that runs Taiwan, the USA’s puppet, it looks like he wants military action against Beijing.
The USA has gone rogue, they are starting yet more wars, the only thing they are good at any more.

ParticipantBeijing does not want war with Taiwan, but in a few weeks the Taiwan “pro-democracy” PM will have been in place for a year …. and he is expected to taunt Beijing into war … that is the word on the street in Taiwan. I am visiting Taiwan this week. I have already talked to people who are actually planning on leaving Taiwan for a few weeks over the one year celebration, to get themselves out of Taiwan before the USA’s puppet does a Zelensky and starts a war on China.
We shall see. I suspect that China will just blockade Taiwan if the current PM tries to start a war …. after all, Taiwan is buying USA LPG to drive its power grid, it only has storage capacity for seven days (yes, it has planned to defeat China in one week, “planned” might be the wrong word), so any blockade is guaranteed to close down Taiwan. Beijing just needs a Trumptard in place to pull the trigger. Looks like the Trumptard is in place. Now we await the Trumptard to tell his puppet what to do.

ParticipantFrom the Hippocratic oath to the hippocritic oath.
Harvard is a fraud machine.
“Last year, 14% (millions of dollars) of NIH grants went to DEI programs. A lot of that went to Harvard..”
As a results……[Harvard] published a memo saying their medical students should not use the word ‘mother,’ that they should use the word ‘birthing person.”
“At Harvard Medical School, they do not teach a nutrition course or require one until this day.”
“They still to this day contribute to nutrition research that questions whether ultra-processed food is harmful.”

POWER with Impunity
———–Moscow has repeatedly denied having any intention to strike NATO or EU countries, or claim their territories, accusing Western officials of “fearmongering” in order to justify further militarization.
Nevertheless, many Eastern European governments, such as Poland and the Baltic states, have cited the supposed threat of a Russian attack as justification for increasing defense budgets and deploying additional forces.————-
Dismissed the results of the referendum as illegitimate.

Kiev is reportedly “pressuring” Rome to organize a mini-summit on the Ukraine conflict on the sidelines of Pope Francis’ funeral this week.
Around 140 delegations are expected at the Vatican on Saturday morning to pay their final respects to the late pontiff, who passed away on Monday.
—————“There’s nothing to hide, we’re absolutely open,” Zelensky told Shapiro.
“We have complete reporting and accounting, absolutely transparent within the ministry of defense,” the Ukrainian president added. “There’s access to all the figures starting from the very first year of the war.”
Zelensky then claimed that Russian “fake news” aimed at undermining U.S. aid to Ukraine was a primary reason for maintaining a comprehensive accounting of all American taxpayer funds provided to his government for the war.Zelensky, suggested that this shortfall could be tied to issues of corruption or lobbying by U.S. companies.
“If we had $177 billion and if we get the half, where is the second half?
If you find the second half, you will find corruption,”

“LA To Institute Mass Layoffs Of City Workers In Wake Of $1 Billion Deficit
Government does everything, until they run out of “Other People’s Money.” Then they collapse and everybody dies because they need to re-achieve those human social tasks privately WHILE being broke AND those tasks are all illegal because the government has claimed a monopoly on them. Welcome to Hell, suckers.
“These individual district court judges are being selectively shopped to stop the president from governing. That’s a real problem.” “I mean, it’s a constitutional crisis,”
Yes, now I’m paying government to stop government, from doing government’s job, that I pay and elected government to do. …But they’re not a cancer or nothin’.
Okay, back up, Yes all this is important. But the case is Court of Public Opinion. The White Hats have won on that continuously, non-stop for a decade now. It’s interminably slow, acutely frustrating, but the whole country is in favor of deportations, which was unthinkable in 2015 when Obama WAS reporting 2M illegals. In cages. (Irony was NOT dead at that time?)
So again, they NEED this in the news, they NEED not to remove, defy them instantly, they need it in headlines over and over. In fact, they need to LOSE, so that it can be appealed and get in the news again. WWE, keep the narrative attention. Going pretty well.
“UK already tested a geo-engineering program where they released sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere back in 2023.”
That’s called acid rain and UK coal releases it for free. They have closed the coal mines, and with it the steel mills, now mine SO2 itself, and release it with no human benefit, but human loss only.
“It GIVES $120K down payments to black first-time homebuyers.”
Worse than that, being openly, KKK racist, when race does not exist, they have re-established the “Single drop of White blood” theory. Any amount of other blood is okay, but if you lack a single drop of Black blood, you’re dead.
…Also glad all those Okies from “Grapes of Wrath” brought their Privilege and vast wealth there in the 30s. All those loggers and fishermen, living in marble-coated mansions sure are sorry now, aren’t they?
“The evidence keeps coming out. American taxpayers paid for the impeachment of Donald Trump with laundered USAID money”
Yes, and remember when I said they were letting BLM riots run to “Follow the money” back to the Capos? Yup, here we are, but didn’t originate from who we expected. I mean, sort of, but not directly. Now Soros has to use his personal fortune and get smaller fast, which he appears unwilling to do. Weather is warming, we’ll see, but so far no. They need that money for their top=tier legal defense and buying judges.
Btw, the arrested judges: I don’t know why I have to state the obvious, but MS13 comes from South America, are a drug cartel, and how did they take over their home countries? By buying, blackmailing, and extorting judges and governments back home. Like, that’s Cartel 101. So you expect with our nation being soft as dough, they are NOT also installing, blackmailing, whacking judges here? Whyever the h—l not? OF COURSE they are.
Problem being, WHO? Which Judges? It’s not like they get a “Blackmail” sticker on their forehead when they bought meth or a hooker on a Saturday night and Tren recognizes them. And when you arrest the Judge on obstruction charge, it’s not like they’re going to admit they killed a 13yo hooker, that’s why they’re compromised. Or Tren will still whack them, that’s WHY they’re compromised.
Bonus: this is why teh government needs to be MORE hard-body, MORE powerful, and able to protect you if you turn to them for help away from the cartel leverage. We haven’t shown that. Tren seems more capable and competent than government.
“‘sundance’ explains that the Ukraine constitution was changed right after Russia invaded, so Zelensky can now say all sorts of things are unconstitutional.”
Also why the war can’t end. “Ukraine can’t be in NATO”. Hey, they ALREADY had that. That was IN the Constitution. …Which they just changed in 30 days after 2014 $6B coup, no obstacles. Wax on/Wax off, DanielSan. So what assurance would Russia have? They put it in the Constitution? They sign a multi-nation agreement backed by the U.S. over Nukes in 1996?
Online, they’re still like “See? Russia’s losing, the spirit of the Slavs will not be broken! Russia can’t break all these treaties and invade!” Yup. Well kids: Ukraine has ceased to exist. Demographically. All the land in Ukraine is owned by BlackRock or Russia. And 1.2 Million are dead. I see how elated you are with winning every day, safe at your computer in Ann Arbor and Leeds. Here: let me send you a bus ticket, you can help out.
“• Crimea Will Stay With Russia – Trump (RT)
He’s essentially gotten the public far enough not to say “Appeaser” with this line. That’s a start.
““the constitution of Ukraine says that all the temporarily occupied territories… belong to Ukraine.”That’s hilarious. And I just wrote on this piece of paper that – I – own those occupied territories, which are the “Esten HerrDocktorLand. And I’m going to use MY army to invade and defend them. See how that works?
Btw Duran followed this down and Alex was finally able to intuit that Trump made all these forays, just a simple, basic ceasefire, just a basic “Avoid some targets” just a “Let’s not kill anybody for 20 hours” and all fell through from UKRAINE, not Russia. So that there is no choice but to withdraw as no one wants peace. Yes, my sir, yes.
What is with the dates they have? Probably the dates our last shipment of arms runs out.
““Discussions in London have focused on security guarantees from the United States.”
Translation: WE fight the war. London has no army whatsoever. All 4-5 times recently, like the fake “Rare earths” that don’t exist, all immediately to “Security guarantees” where Ze is an amateur, blowing the con too early and too openly. They’re really bad at this.
“Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has hilariously declared that every single dollar of U.S. taxpayer money sent to Ukraine since Russia’s 2022 invasion has been meticulously tracked and accounted for”
He himself SAID it wasn’t! However, I’m perfectly fine with finding it and arresting all the Congressmen who embezzled it. We have some names.
“U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned a US-China trade deal could take 2 to 3 years to finalize.”
Sounds fine, realistic.
“• China, Hong Kong and The Art of Blinking (Pepe Escobar)What is with “Blinking”? Incredibly childish and counterproductive. They have to get their emotional rocks off instead of just negotiating a cooperative arrangement. Wtf? Are you TRYING to kill everyone and die? A: Yes, they are all Communists.
“• Netherlands To Create Trial Detention Areas For Troublesome Asylum Seekers (RMX)
Great: Prison B track, not the usual prisons. Yeah we call those Concentration Camps. They may or may not be, but they’ll call it that. Is that REALLY better than sending them home?
“• Trump Might Be About to Make Reagan’s Dream Come True (Green)
Who are they fighting? The Soviets? None of these do work, nor will work. They didn’t work even against SCUD missiles from the 1970s. Also boats? You’re kidding, right? Sunk in seconds, put it on land.
“• You Won’t Believe Who Trump Granted an Interview (Margolis)
Like Maher, you see how he’s an egoist dictator with a thin ego because he invites them in, does nothing, and thinks nothing of it.
“The American people face a critical choice. We can either stand with those working to secure our borders and protect our communities or watch as radical Democrats continue dismantling our national security to protect criminals and terrorists.”
Apparently America is for the terrorists and murder. Or the white liberal women are. Demoralization of Bezmanov has worked perfectly, “We deserve it because we’re evil.” I hear that right here in comments. “Who is ‘They’ though?” Who is “We” though? I didn’t drop a bomb on hiroshima, and I didn’t enlist for the Gulf War. I was opposed to the invasion and for upholding human rights. Don’t lump me in with your nonsense. I don’t deserve any of this crap as I’ve been fighting it every day of my life at enormous cost. So have a lot of other people.
This guilt engineering and guilt technology works. …On some. Like Germany. Are there any original Nazis left? At all? Anywhere? Congratulations, you’re now Saved, guilt free, and can only be responsible for what YOU did, in the 60, 70s, and 80s.
“Tesla cars to “Nazi cars,” creating a massive backlash in the neighboring state of Brandenburg, home to Europe’s only Tesla car factory. The post is particularly odd, given her role as state minister for labor. “Who wants to drive a Nazi car?”
The obvious Irony is, Tesla is NOT a Nazi car – if it wasn’t 2 years ago why now? — and the Volkswagen is EXPRESSLY a Nazi car, created by Hitler himself, if you want to go there and we don’t buy Nazi cars now.
Speaking of cars and their uneducated meltdown over tariffs, you know who wins in this? Japan. ALL their factories are already here for just this reason. American workers suck so much that they put them in the poorest, dumbest districts like Mississippi and have no trouble at all with quality control. Maybe has something to do with MANAGEMENT instead? You PMC “experts”?
“We can’t make it here. We don’t have the workers. American wages are too high.” Funny Honda has not one bit of trouble, so what’s your malfunction? A: You’re lazy and like slavery instead.
“• German Finance Minister Says Trust Not Yet Broken With US (CNBC)
He’s correct but these tariffs that end everything also DON’T end everything? Again with emotional thinking. And I’m supposed to believe the media who reports this then the #Opposite a week later?
““In order for a system to be stabIe, it requires negative feedback, also known as consequences.” —Barrie Drain”
Yes, I think it was Peter Brogoshin (?) who was trying to think new, not repeat points, saying the basis of Free Speech is really course correction. Like HOW do you fix the system, keep it working, able to evolve and self-correct? Only with Free Speech, in the Government and Social sense. And that’s exactly correct. If we had a different means of keeping on-track maybe it’s not that important, but there sort of isn’t one, even under a Monarchy. It’s just different, priests and aristocracy speaking, in a different manner, but it’s the same communication to adjust.
Miniature: that’s Kung Fu Hustle.
Robot Laundry: sure, until something happens. Towels change, arms break, they cost too much, wear out, then a human does it anyway. It’s like electric cars and trucks: that’s their range and ability on the FIRST day: what about 10 years from now, as ICE cars have like a 15-year life?
Willy’s tech, proving the point. These cars are illegal right now. And note the left-handed lug nuts as they assemble.
Musical machine points up the same problem again: This whole machine, taking months to build plays barely one song. A busker with a $50 guitar can play thousands. Then work in the fields. Same with the robots. So you’ve got an issue and ask staff to clean up the parking lot, robots can’t. So their job is actually BETTER than yours. You have to put up with s—t that robots aren’t asked to, being special, privileged employees.
“Mike Rowe: “We’ve got $1.7 trillion in student debt on the books and we’ve got 7.6 million open jobs right now—most of which don’t require a 4-year degree.”
Maybe, but I was looking at jobs and they’re proudly listing $17/hr. That won’t pay for your car to get there, so…. And they may have health care but it’s matching, so suppose your wife drive you there, 50% of the check would pay to have ANY health care. Again, not worth applying.

ParticipantReference the White House redo:
The current occupant of the White House (WH) needs to know his place. The WH is the house of the American (U.S.) people for their president, NOT the cottage of some petty oligarch . If the current occupant cannot respect the history of, the house, the occupants before him, or the structure of the building, he should not be there. That respect was best displayed when Jacqueline Kennedy gave her tour of the WH for the public. If that respect cannot be shown, you do not belong in that house. Whatever are those golden things doing on the fireplace surround; they have no relevance to the house, its history or of the nation. They are fitting for only the palaces of autocratic monarchs. Your sense of taste is insipid and inane, but then you have never created anything, you hired architects, designers and gardeners who did the creating; you are an impresario, an Ed Sullivan NOT The Beatles.

ParticipantThe US abandoned it’s Thorium Reactor research in the 60’s. I know people who worked on it. Uranium reactors were where the money and bomb making moneyed interests wanted the research to go.
Plus it was ‘too hard’ for the American ‘talent’ at the time to process.
So most of the Thorium research info during the 60’s was public sourced and ready for the plucking.
China plucked it, engineered and reversed engineered over the decades, persistance = tortoise vs hare, and viola! A working Thorium reactor with a hundred thousand year supply of Thorium next door in Mongolia.
As usual, the USSA is standing there with it’s limp dick in it’s collective hands.
And Chinese ship builders are working on a Thorium reactor powered container ship for near ZERO emissions voyages around the world for trade.
Nice
And the cherry on top?
The Chinese RE-FUELED the Thorium reactor while it was still running
They didn’t need to shut it down to refuel.
Huge advantage
Try that with a uranium reactor sometime.

ParticipantTake Eggs CH … wow, it is 3264 CNY (450 USD) per tonne. Versus the USA with 3.15 USD/dozen. How many dozen eggs makes up a tonne? AI search says 50 gm per large egg, so 1T equals 1,000,000 gm. So 1 tonne equals 20,000 eggs. The China price per dozen is therefore 1.96 CNY per dozen, which is 0.26 USD per dozen. Wow, that means I am getting them super cheap, one third of that price … nice …. it also shows you what bullshit all these trading sites post everyday.

ParticipantI don’t understand why Republicans can’t Judge-shop too and add injunctions like “you mustn’t stop” or “you’re only allowed to stop, only for specific individuals, if xyz criteria happens to be fulfilled”
Every time there’s an injunction, do an injunction that twists it around to its opposite. If it’s just a battle of semantics, after all. Or get ahead of it and do injunctions that preclude the expected Dem ones.
gotta follow injunctions, right? shrug.

ParticipantReleasing sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere will create acid rain.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_rain
That’s the very thing regarded as a major problem in the 1960s and 70s. Major efforts were undertaken to reduce or eliminate sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere.
The people running this experiment are either dolts or malevolent.From the wiki:
Acid rain is rain or any other form of precipitation that is unusually acidic, meaning that it has elevated levels of hydrogen ions (low pH). Most water, including drinking water, has a neutral pH that exists between 6.5 and 8.5, but acid rain has a pH level lower than this and ranges from 4–5 on average.[1][2] The more acidic the acid rain is, the lower its pH is.[2] Acid rain can have harmful effects on plants, aquatic animals, and infrastructure. Acid rain is caused by emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, which react with the water molecules in the atmosphere to produce acids.Acid rain has been shown to have adverse impacts on forests, freshwaters, soils, microbes, insects and aquatic life-forms.[3] In ecosystems, persistent acid rain reduces tree bark durability, leaving flora more susceptible to environmental stressors such as drought, heat/cold and pest infestation. Acid rain is also capable of detrimenting soil composition by stripping it of nutrients such as calcium and magnesium which play a role in plant growth and maintaining healthy soil. In terms of human infrastructure, acid rain also causes paint to peel, corrosion of steel structures such as bridges, and weathering of stone buildings and statues as well as having impacts on human health.[4][5][6][7]

ParticipantReparations
I know how rough it is to struggle at the bottom of the economy…and I understand how, in that position, it is easy to jump onto any plan or scheme that may improve one’s position.
…But making it about race? My daughter is researching scholarships but gets frustrated because almost every scholarship with a financial need component either explicitly excludes white students or the website for the scholarship is full of photos of college scholars with every color of skin except white. She feels like she “need not apply.” Am *I* supposed to feel guilt and cough up money for reparations for ”a person of color” whose income is greater than my own because I have an ancestor, whose name I don’t recall, who owned a couple of slaves? Or because I already have a home? And what about my student, a “woman of color” who is about 60% white, 40% African descent? Is her white part supposed to pay reparations to her black part?
It seems to me that the beneficiaries to this “free 120k down payment” program will be those selling the houses and those offering the mortgages, the real estate agents and the brokers.

Like the Oreshnik that packs the punch of a tactical nuke without being a radioactive nuke, this new potential weapon shows a great deal of promise.
“The new technology centers on the use of magnesium hydride (MgH2), a white or silvery crystalline powder that’s capable of storing an outsize amount of hydrogen.
scientists recognized that densely-packed hydrogen offers extraordinary explosive potential, and set out to build explosive devices to measure the destructive force.
China’s pioneering evaluation started small, with a test bomb weighing just 4.4 pounds (2kg). The resulting fireball impressed researchers, producing heat exceeding 1,832 degrees Fahrenheit (1,000 Celsius).
Not bad, the surface of the Sun is about 5,600 Celsius
Mount a dozen or so non-nuke hydrogen bombs on a MIRV missile and burn a major city to the ground, just like that!
No one can say you ‘nuked’ them, just. a ‘conventional’ explosive device.
Aces for China once again
Better living thru Science
More importantly, the fireball lasted more than two seconds, which is 15 times longer than a comparably-scaled TNT explosion.
No nuclear materials were involved.”

ParticipantThe Russians are following this a will probably put their own version on this non-nuclear hydrogen bomb on one of their MACH-10 hypersonic missiles, maybe in time for the second siege of Kiev

On The Arrest of A State Judge
From: A Simple Justice blog
This writer seems to be the embodiment of several irritating posters on this blog. You know who, MR! yes you do.
“visibly upset and had a confrontational, angry demeanor.” except courts and employers use this standard to Tar n Feather ppl not to their liking all the time whether or not the target is ” “visibly upset and had a confrontational, angry demeanor.”

feds have no qualms about perp walking them on social media should they not cooperate.
What’s good for their goose should also be good for the state or federal judge.

As obstruction goes, it was about as lame as it gets.
Again goose gander as applied to overcharging folks to force plea deals
-
decided primarily by whether you believe in arresting aliens at any cost or whether the sanctity of the state courthouse
Sanctity???? What theeee Hell!
That hypocrisy challenges the corrupt act of permitting a state funeral at Saint Peter’s basilica for an evil man while Bergoglio’s brave accuser remains excommunicated from the Church.It goes on……We’re at War.
I think civil war has been the state of the state since The Banker’s First Volley September 2019 when they ran off with The People’s Money under the guise of Saving The Financial System Once Again.
Thank God for SupermanCivil War….let the shooting begin

government certainly knew where Judge Dugan could be found after a decision was made at the top levels of Main Justice whether this was a war they wanted to fight
There is nothing remotely criminal about Judge Dugan’s having a “confrontational, angry demeanor,” despite its being of sufficient important…

ParticipantAspnaz-II asked:
“What message is your comment trying to convey? Are you saying that Ukraine is losing to Russia because Russia ia a nuclear power? Are you implying that Gaza is losing to Israel because Israel is a nuclear power? I am not sure I would agree with that. What are you trying to say, because it is not clear?”A: When pointing out that Ukraine is a non-nuclear state, making war against the most-nuclear-armed state, not a nuclear state surrounded by much weaker neighbors, I referenced this:

Participant@Topcat: I have been reading about that Chinese “non-nuclear-hydrogen-bomb” this week, too.
It appears to be a baby-sized thermobaric bomb, which means it could be delivered by artillery, rockets, mortars or FPV drones, and would clear out trenches and fortifications housing enemy infantry, so very useful in this new style of modern warfare.
It uses magnesium-hydride, so hydrogen bound to magnesium in solid form.
Both magnesium and hydrogen LOVE oxygen much more than each other, and you may have burned some magnesium ribbon in high school chemistry class. Magnesium burns Hot.
China can reportedly produce 150 tons per year.
How much can other countries produce?
None yet.April 26, 2025 at 6:44 pm #186883John Day
