“Houthi Hypersonic Missile Renders Iron Dome Useless, Slams Into Tel Aviv Area
About time, but nobody’s talking about where they’re being supplied from? Bet they’re not manufacturing themselves.
“Dem Rep. Crockett: Hispanic Voters Have “Slave Mentality” And “Can Barely Vote”Brown people are too stupid to vote! But a Democrat said it, so that’s okay! Love and Light and Tolerance. Joy, even. This is why they have Liberal Democratic Women to tell all the Jungle Children what to do! …It’s impossible to express as offended as I feel.
“You’re Being Lied to About “Ultra-Processed” Foods: Coverage of the latest nutrition buzzword is overly broad, arbitrary, and wildly misleading.” — Vox.
See? Our advertisers say it’s actually GREAT for you. (Actually the author is just requiring you to be vegan. ‘Cause this ain’t more nagging and scolding from AWFUL Blue-haired Laptop PMCs from one of the 12 Designated cities, right?) And she hates ultra-leftist, hard-core Democratic environmental advocates like RFK since…almost yesterday, when Blue Sky told her to. That’s what “Objective” and “Trustworthy”, “Science-based” means. I hate all environmentalists, and especially people who sue billionaires.
“Syria’s Central Bank Gold Miraculously Still In The Vault, Reuters Claims
Not if London is there. It’ll be gone in 12 hours like Ukraine’s was.
Speaking of gold, this article is pretty good:

“Everybody has seen this chart. It makes your eyes glaze over. Nobody cares even though this is showing you the disintegration of the denominator we use to measure every economic transaction on earth.
Should be a big deal.
The only time it seems to matter, is during a hyperinflation, when you can see it clearly in the X-axis of a chart being viewed in logarithmic mode”THAT is why BTC goes up. So long as banks and governments are corrupt, inflationary, untrusted agents of theft, Bitcoin will go up. Which your bank account won’t. The numbers stay the same, but it’s going down. 12%/year compounded.
This will stop someday of course, but today is not that day.
““BREAKING: In latest threat to German democracy, dangerous fascist Elon Musk tweets six words about Alternative für Deutschland..”
This is quite and article and should be read, but what can you say? So long as everyone’s lost their d—n minds, this is how it is now.
“Germans absolutely never, ever, utter the slightest word about American politics and certainly would never advance negative opinions about the American president in the middle of an election campaign. Our Foreign Office would never try to fact-check an American presidential debate! Our journalists would never depict President Donald Trump dressed as a Ku Klux Klan member or offering the Hitler salute or decapitating the Statue of Liberty! That’s just not done!”
Thankfully no one comments on our internal elections, and when they say “The Election” worldwide everyone doesn’t automatically know that means us, America. But there’s an upside! All of you can mail-in vote here, so what’s the difference?
Btw, the “Deutschland” party is…the Russian Party? Really? Is it not in the name that they might be Pro German?
Nope. I guess like the “National Socialist Worker’s Party” they are neither Socialist nor for the workers. The party doesn’t know what their own name means, of course. German Party = Anti German Party.
PS, what is this article and pearl clutching? It’s illegal for Americans to have opinions. That’s the German premise here. We will arrest and extradite them in good German fashion. When I want your opinion I’ll
beat it out of yougive it to you.About Musk, did people not know his history? I guess it is interesting that his childhood never gets in the paper, like how? They describe everything BUT that about his childhood? Yeah, his father is a f—king billionaire maniac, who married his own daughter. They are bloodthirsty satanic billionaires, on a continent where “bloodthirsty” really means something. From his actions, this is why Elon has thrown a gear about them, his father, and the Billionaire elite and is endlessly on the warpath after them. He was probably personally serially abused as a child. Now, question is: with all that, WHY do they let him keep his money? They don’t allow for anyone else, regardless of their technical skills. I know Elon (brand Elon) is covered by the White Hats right now, but that wasn’t always the case and he’s not taking the kind of fire I would expect even so. I’m sure he has the best blackmail money can buy, growing up with them, but Still looking every day for that one.
BTW, “Iran”, the “Aryans”? Along with every top troublemaker in the FBI, CIA, Comey, Valerie Jarrett, etc. Iran is a small place, entirely locked off. Like the Jews, their representation is like 100x anything statistical. That’s why I keep looking for Dr. No breakaway secret base there or something. Sounds crazy, but there’s no other explanation for real actions on the ground.
On that note, Trump was sold off by his father to a gay NY Jewish billionaire “For training”. Yeah, I can only imagine what that entailed. It worked but he may have had to step snappy to stay intact, and why both he and his wife – from the most trafficked country on earth – seem to have a vendetta about such things. Weird, huh? C’mon, what ya got yer knickers in a twist for? All the Eton School boys have
done ithad it done to them. Buggering is a British tradition!
“• Putin Says If World War Three Is Underway (RT)Well Putin is the one who gets to decide. We peasants don’t.
On that: Russia is turning the corner to being the leader of the world. Like America was in I dunno, 1880. From being a backwoods, rural, small place, made of some guy who drove a 20-mule team to the salt mine, to a place where the center of gravity was located as a counter to the sheer psychopathic madness of Western Europe. Here we are and I’m glad to pass it to them. We need a break and to recover, particularly recover our churches for whatever that means. No moral compass is a straight line down.
Like a boxer, we only needed to wobble vertical until we could do this, and we did. The Kpop Neocons did not take the lead in either of our countries, or not enough. Close thing tho’
“• Biden’s Officials Trying To Destroy Trump’s Push For Peace – Moscow (RT)
Like the hiring, the trashing of goods, everything, it demonstrates how many traitors we’re living under right now. Traitors? To what? They are traitors to the American people, who voted, and traitors to the democratic system that allows that. They are therefore traitors to America and everything it stands for.
“Saving Democracy” or a “Coup”, was this the party that shredded all the documents and stole all the “W”s off the keyboards on their way out? If you stop the incoming government by every means, is that what you call a “peaceful transition of power”? Or no transition at all?
“on Monday Robert Fico will go to Putin, as the leader of a European Union country,”The European Union hates all their members so much. Name one they don’t.
““Burns came to Kiev to tie up loose ends and coordinate actions with Zelensky for when Trump begins”Burns, the real president, shreds documents so Trump can’t find out what he’s doing.
“Russia’s Foreign Ministry suggested that Burns’ trip aimed to warn Ukrainian authorities against sharing potentially compromising information with Trump’s auditors.”This means they are lying and treating the U.S. as their enemy. You win! I fully accommodate such behavior. If we are your enemy, not ally, so be it.
“• Trump Plans To Continue Aid To Ukraine But Will Raise NATO Spending To 5% (ZH)
Great if you want to sap and colonize Europe. Bad for world peace. That is the point, of course. He’s saying the same as when he visited Germany 7 years ago, only this time his argument is stronger. “Can you hear me now?” You’re claiming Russia is your arch enemy, yet you get all gas from them and have no military. Okay, pick one.
Germany picked wrong, but that’s their business, not mine. I expect Germany to extradite me shortly for having an opinion. At all. On anything. Nazis gonna Nazi.
“Sadly, we the people of the United States are obligated to protect and defend it.”No we’re not; we just say no. Make me. When has the U.S. ever fought for an ally or upheld a treaty? Not in my lifetime, I can tell you.
So when – not IF – Turkey invades and conquers Greece, murdering tens of thousands, which side are we on?
“• How the Left Will Defend Its Censorship Regime Against Trump (RCW)
Yes, but the Left doesn’t exist. Their media has the combined viewership of the Food Network right now.
Doxxing? I’m no fan of Fuentes, but he was Doxxed, and specifically promoted to violence, whereupon somebody went with a gun, tried to kill him, broke into his neighbor’s house, shot their dogs, and was killed.
Good job, Brownie! There is free speech. However, should your speech result in damages and/or a crime, you are responsible for your input. So go question FBI plants at MTG’s office and Milo, who got the info and paid for the events. The details — and Supreme Court decision — is that it’s legal to yell “Fire” in a theatre. Totally legal. However, you are responsible for what happens next.“In short, western democracies’ storied enchantment with elections is over.”
We haven’t been democratic in decades. This is that Zappa moment when the curtain goes up at the back of the theatre revealing the prison wall.
“Democracy” is the new “The Science”.
Marquardt, head of the Green faction in the European Parliament, says that “The EU Commission and EU member states should no longer stand by and watch as billionaires misuse media and algorithms to influence elections and strengthen and normalise right-wing extremists.” This “is an attack on democracy,” and “has nothing to do with freedom of expression.” Dennis Radtke, CDU representative in the European Parliament, concludes that “Musk … is declaring war on democracy” and that “the man is a menace.” We are also under siege via “interference from Putin”; “the erosion of our democracy is being fuelled from both within and without.”

Desire for “unique self-expression” put on shelf for a moment.top post: Musk supports AFD in Germany.
In D, the ‘centrists’ in power are subject to the US, NATO and the EU.
Two oppo’ parties. AFD (called ‘radical right’) and the new Sarah W. party (ex-Die Linke, The Left, called the ‘radical left.’) Both agree that war against Russia in UKR etc. should be stopped. There are some differences between them on ‘immigration’ and the ‘green agenda’, but imho it looks like the ‘divide to conquer’ and ‘demonise the ‘extremists’ in the pol. sphere is being slowly fissured in Germany.
The D Green Party is the no 1 top warmonger and anti-industrialist, which is a seemingly odd contradiction that mostly passes by unnoticed. > War expends huge amounts of energy, creates massive deadly pollution, global warming, not to mention killing strong young men, etc.
*Green Energy* in D was mostly activated and pursued as an arm against France’s superiority via cheap nuclear energy.
In F, Macron has nominated a new PM, an old-time political hack who has been a Manu supporter from day 1.
The opposition from the ‘left’ (Mélenchon at the top of a patchwork temp. coalition) and from the ‘right’ (Marine Le Pen) had internal policies in the past that were near identical (even Le Monde pointed this out), concerning, of course, funding of schools, support for parents, good health care, suppoorting local agri. etc.
The main difference today. Mélenchon is an old-time Palestine supporter, Le Pen supports Israel. Le Pen used to be anti-EU and anti-EURO and ‘anti-semitic’ like her father, but has given all that up since quite a while.
As for the F ‘left’, it is riven by quarrels, contradictions, etc. Shameful imho etc.
The contrast between F and D is that D does seemingly have pol. parties that present partly ‘cogent’ positions, though hmmm what that leads to, idk, probably not much.
F has a more stalwart, ready to act ppl on the ground, less sheeple-like, see Gilets Jaunes, can’t imagine that in D.
Musky-Trumpy, shouldn’t, according to old fashioned protocol, be supporting one or the other pol. party in whatever X country, but only deal with the instituted Gvmt. However support for AFD as isolationists is a cogent choice for Trump, heh, but will they then support 5% GDP to arm against Russia? NO.

But it is American companies that are profiting the most from the conflict,” he stressed.
The Russian diplomat alleged that Western countries are prioritizing economic gains over peace.
“According to the latest data, half of total arms sales in 2023 were processed by 41 US corporations out of the top 100.
They received $317 billion, or 50% of global arms-sales revenues,” Nebenzia said.https://www.sipri.org/

World’s top arms producers see revenues rise on the back of wars and regional tensionsOn Wednesday, the Defense Ministry in Moscow reported that Ukraine fired six US-donated ATACMS and four UK-made Storm Shadow air-launched cruise missiles, at the Kamensky chemical plant in Rostov Region in southern Russia.
On Friday, in retaliation to the attack, the Russian military claimed it struck a Ukrainian command center and targeted installations of US-supplied Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems.
There have been several strikes with US- and UK-supplied missiles on internationally recognized Russian territory in recent weeks, with the deadliest coming on Friday as five people were killed and twelve others wounded after the Kiev forces targeted the town of Rylsk in Russia’s Kursk Region with an American HIMARS system.

Secrets and liesRussia’s Foreign Ministry suggested that Burns’ trip aimed to warn Ukrainian authorities against sharing potentially compromising information with Trump’s auditors.
Senior Russian diplomat Rodion Miroshnik described Zelensky as a “weak link” and suggested that Burns sought to ensure he would not disclose any sensitive “evidence of illegal actions by American officials related to the Democrats and Biden.”
“Burns came to Kiev to tie up loose ends and coordinate actions with Zelensky for when Trump begins his review of the multi-billion-dollar US budget spending on Ukraine,” Miroshnik told TASS on Saturday.
“The Democrats hardly expect Zelensky to keep his obligations to them, which is why they sent Burns,” the diplomat said, noting that Kiev is the most vulnerable link in the chain of corruption that has seen billions of US taxpayer dollars thrown “into a bottomless pit.”

———–https://x.com/RandPaul/status/1870547471459561846
The DOD lied about the number of troops in Syria. The Biden administration eroded our trust and never sought authorization from Congress. Bring them home!Things that AI can’t do: (things that I did yesterday)
– go on a bike ride with my spouse
– gather eggs and rescue a hen that found herself out of the hen yard that was too fat (and stupid) to get back inside.
– connect with each of my children
– sit with a purring cat while reading TAE
– repot plants
– AI could solve a technical problem for a client, but only if the client enumerates the problem fully — it can’t pull on years of interaction with the client and her family when ferreting out the issues and finish the call chatting about subtleties of relationships in her family.
– sew a cushion. It could tell me how to get the corners “just right,” but not with the level of satisfaction that I derive from finding a way to do it on my own and then seeing that IT WORKED!
– redo the pinning of a cushion closure for my daughter so that it is more secure and looks neater for her hand sewing stitches.
– AI could make the sounds of a piano playing Claire de Lune flawlessly…but I can also find a recording and listen to it. That isn’t what I’m working on. I want to learn to play it. The piece is 4 pages long, I can play over half of it. Half a page is memorized. I want to hear and feel the music being created by my fingers then dazzling my ears. An AI can’t do that.
– empty the dishwasher, load it, hand wash dishes, too many times — but adding in listening to podcasts made it fun.
– make French fries from scratch with two of my kidsSo much of what we do is embedded in relationships with other humans (and, at least in my home, also with cats, dogs, and hens.) While technology could replace the labor or the thought it cannot replace the relationship. Although, it is going to try. One son likes using ChatGPT as his search engine, and yesterday it started giving him emojis. He thought it very weird that an AI would start aping human emotion. I agreed, while realizing it wasn’t really emotion, it was just “language learning” that had been expanded to include emojis — which are, essentially, an adjunct to written language used for emotional expression. But, they are simply used by AI in the same place that a human would, not because the AI feels anything. It is merely a simulacrum. It creates a world of masks.
On the internet: so we have the Oreshnik, but they won’t stop bombing, the West has no concept of fear. We need to help them! Here’s what to do: call a Press Conference, tell NATO you’ve had it. You’re going to level all of Rammstein with a volley of Oreshniks. Of course, as you promised, you tell them ahead of time, letting them all panic-evacuate. All F16s, tanks, men, whatever they can get in 40 minutes, 4 hours whatever.
Then don’t hit them.
I mean, you want them to pucker, so maybe launch in K-Stan, something fast, something NOT an Oreshnik (don’t want to waste them) and let them reach the border and self-destruct.
Maybe having experienced it, and the utter helplessness of it, for all the Generals, Colonels, Leaders, German Parliament, maybe it might educate them about Fear and the other F Word: FAFO.

I figured earlier this week, what the heck, let’s have a look out the window periodically, any drones? (Denver)
uh… you know that one they’ve been showing in various videos with large rectangular running lights, green and red? I saw that light pattern pass overhead one night.
Its direction of travel was not in-line with the light configuration. It slewed slightly diagonally. Not a windy day. Seemed to be lower/slower than a normal prop plane passing by above. The prop plane was clearly a prop plane and sounded like one. No sound coming from the other aircraft. I SUPPOSE the prop plane could have been magically silent and the sound I THOUGHT was the prop plane was the drone, right?
The other thing that’s been reported – The Twilight Zone/Close Encounters thing of banks of lights on buildings, streetlights, or cars blinking their lights together? My wife saw that earlier this week on an apartment complex on her drive home.
We’re not “terrified,” we’re bored and annoyed. So there’s no drone “hysteria” for us to be caught up in. The wife saw the blinking thing prior to us seeing it on youtube.
There are sufficient drones deployed to simply SPELL OUT a message with lights in the sky if message-sending was the intention. Nah, just swooping around “Wooo. Look at me!”

“Yemen says it downed American F-18 fighter jet”
The Yemeni Armed Forces announced in a statement that, “We have thwarted the joint US-British attack and targeted the aircraft carrier “USS Harry S. Truman” and a number of its accompanying destroyers.
In the statement, the Yemeni Armed Forces said that the operation was carried out using 8 cruise missiles and 17 drones.
The Yemeni Armed Forces also announced that during this operation, an American “F-18” aircraft was shot down by Yemeni forces when the destroyers were trying to confront the Yemeni drones and missiles.
https://en.mehrnews.com/news/225855/Yemen-says-it-attacked-US-ship-with-8-missiles-and-17-drones
“Two US Navy pilots were shot down Sunday over the Red Sea in an apparent “friendly fire” incident, the US military said.“
“The guided missile cruiser USS Gettysburg, which is part of the USS Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group, mistakenly fired on and hit the F/A-18,” Central Command said in a statement, AP reported.
It wasn’t immediately clear how the Gettysburg could mistake an F/A-18 for an enemy aircraft or missile, particularly as ships in a battle group remain linked by both radar and radio communication.

US Congresswoman Missing For Six Months Found At Dementia Care Home
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/missing-congresswoman-missing-six-months-found-dementia-care-home“Oh no, the people driving the bus are not competent”
No, no. This is not the takeaway.
Cognitive function is not a concern in the selection and emplacement of these sockpuppets by the people running things. They would prefer sockpuppets with no brain whatsoever (prototype AOC) but find dementia patients best solution on a working basis for now.
So The Masters Of The Universe don’t even believe in DELEGATION. They don’t believe in having a hierarchy for them to be at the top of. Not just “we don’t need capable intelligent people in these positions” but “we don’t need people capable of cognition in these positions” If they could have a chair, a brick, a log as their owned congressman, presumably that would be fine. Don’t even need him to be able to construct a sentence.
Ergo they think that right now, not in the future, (for awhile already now) they have something BETTER than hierarchy. OR there’s a totally parallel shadow-hierarchy within which all business actually gets done. Your IBM XT still seems to display stuff, but when you crack open the case, you find a bunch of old, nonfunctional electronics in a pile, not even plugged into anything interspersed with dustbunnies. The monitor cable snakes off somewhere else.
