Participant• Trump Rejected Idea Of ‘Unconditional’ Ukraine Ceasefire
The Russians were never going to budge on this, why spill so much ink over this one point.
Shows no one’s listening and that Trump is a veryslow learner indeed.
• Putin Isn’t Ready To End War In Ukraine, Trump Told Allies In PrivateYes because a key element in de-nazifying Ukraine is killing as many Azov types as possible.
The Russian want the conveyor belt to keep shoveling nazis into it’s increasingly efficient Meat Grinder
Trump is serving the Russian’s best interest in this regard by helping them vacuum up the last of the fanatics.

Foreign students should represent a TINY fraction of US college enrollments.
In fact US college students should be reduced to a tiny fraction of their current levels.

ParticipantWell thought and explains what and why. The language is born “In”, in “Jurisdiction of” and “Under the legal control of”. But in concept no other nation does this and we never did either. Then Lo! Supreme Court says “We Make S—t Up!” Then Lo! A few years later USSC says “We UN-Make S—t Up” again! …Steadily for 250 years if you don’t study this kind of thing. The law is perfectly clear except when it reverses all the time.
MacGregor: All hate, all Trump actions, all the time. Trash him for eating tacos, for having hair. Is it possible? Sure, why not? Is there some reason if he does what might be a good thing you need to stick your oar in for things you have no evidence of? I can propose he’s doing it for the people eating habits of Lizard people in the moon too. Should I?
And that paragraph mentions IRAN, and where He’s trying to settle a nuclear panic while S.A. is giving them nuclear material, not appreciated. Why not that?
My problem with it is it’s gossip. They just say, sounds exciting, and run with it ‘cause “We all just decide.”
The Atlantic: “The Decline of Elon as his fortune continues upward to $1.5 Trillion.”
Nothing says failure to communists like now owning TWICE as much money and stuff. We know that because winning for them is when everyone’s broke and starving.
“US arms continue to flow to Ukraine. So in other words, these Biden Admin policies continue unchanged”
Uhhhh, something’s wrong here since they said in the first 100 days that got stopped, and no new $$. One of those “Well-technically-is-true” where Trump wrote “Exceptions” to the sanctions, and they didn’t stop the weapons already in pipeline. But you go from $500B to zero, then…? I’ll keep it in mind, but I don’t think so, and the #Opposite was already reported. BothNeitherAii. No one notices. A thing and its #Opposite are all the same now.
“Wonder what threats or blackmail they wagered against Bongino and Patel?”
WHO? Okay, this is bull, they know it, and someone blackmailed them. WHO. Who would do that and why? Trump, because he’s the one who wrote the deal to have him talk, get all Congress under the rule, and then he goes to Ken Lay Island. …While Ghislaine takes a cell, classic prisoner’s dilemma.
What does this tell us? Don’t trust anyone elected, even if they’re good and your team. Yeah, but WE already knew that. WE don’t need that lesson. WE are not even learning that lesson since the minute we saw this, we all laughed and scoffed. You know, like cult members do.
“US President Donald Trump has reportedly rejected demands by EU officials that negotiations on the Ukraine conflict should result in an unconditional ceasefire, the Wall Street Journal has reported”
What is in this? Yeah: NO RUSSIA. Nobody asks, consults, cares what Russia thinks. At all. Russia and their position doesn’t exist. RUSSIA SAID NO. That’s the only relevant factor. You can all stop talking at that point.
And finishing that opener, “Wall Street Journal has reported” … “Citing sources”? As opposed to their usual behavior? Or what? So they were printing stuff WITHOUT citing sources? Like unless they add this specifically, it’s safe to assume there were no sources and nobody said anything at all? That is, they Make S—t Up?
OF COURSE THERE ARE SOURCES. That’s like the “ Wall Street Journal has reported” … by writing in words. Yes, we KNOW they wrote in words. Because: Wall St Journal Media. Words IS the way. “Said, without evidence (except them being the official that runs that dept and has all the relevant info)” The level of being a Retard…
Okay, as usual media, what are they NOT saying, then?
Notice, ZERO reporting on the war now. Because Ukraine is losing everywhere, there’s no way to report anything happening except a complete loss, clawing away as they dissolve. Why this? Because NOT reporting this is hiding then THIS article – also totally Fake and Gai. They need ONLY a ceasefire BECAUSE it is the only way to re-arm and not lose, this month. If we reported one, the NEXT would be obvious, then THIS would be Obvious, then the nation’s positions would be obvious…
Story, translated: Russia is rolling Ukraine/UK all along the line, on six fronts, Ukraine is shattered and about to lose Kherkov, Odessa, breaking London and all Europe decisively, and they need a 30 day ceasefire, not to win, but merely not to lose RIGHT NOW. There’s your story, translated from overwhelming, universal lies.
“Sumy Buffer, Russian Breakthrough” – Duran. Ukr evacuating Sumy.
“Unconditional” Ceasefire? WTF, WHERE the F—k do these guys think they are? On Harvard Squash Court, old chum? So we’re in the Black Forest, and we call Herr General Model and say, “Hey Walt, old chum, our boys are really getting blown to pieces over here, so could you just stop shelling us for like 30 days so we can regroup? I’d consider it a personal favor and really help us out.” Thanks.
No. That is NOT how anything on the surface of the earth over all history has ever worked.
“The Hürtgen Forest cost the U.S. First Army at least 33,000 killed and wounded, including both combat and non-combat losses, with upper estimates at 55,000; German casualties were 28,000.”
“• Putin Isn’t Ready To End War In Ukraine, Trump Told Allies In Private (ZH)
Well, I mean, he’s not stopping now at this point and terms. That’s the 30 day ceasefire.
“Medvedchuk has promoted policies and actions intended to erode the legitimacy and credibility of the government of Ukraine, in direct support of the foreign policy interests of the Russian Federation and disseminating pro-Russian propaganda,”
Hate speech. Well in European terms, that just means he told the truth. All these would be met by him saying Ze is not the legal elected leader and Russia is winning the war, both true. The Truth = “Meddling.”
“You count “1-2-3-jump,” and leap – only to realize your friend’s still up in the plane. That friend is US President Donald Trump.”
They only just noticed? And Alex says they (eg UK) complain U.S. only gave one bullet at a time, that’s why Ukraine lost which he says is ridiculous and I say is true. That’s quite a spread, difference of opinion. But I’m a nobody.
You know what I haven’t heard in a while? “Whatever it takes.” If “Whatever it takes” means, “Until you’re losing” then the U.S. calls a victory and goes home like the last 55 times. Too soon? Nobody saw this coming?
Oh wait, here it is: “Meanwhile, Brussels is starting to realize its wallet has limits. That whole “whatever it takes” energy?”
Yeah, they had NO money, or men, or trucks, or tanks, or shells, or planes, or energy, or steel, or chemicals, because WE were going to fight all of Russia, alone, for FREE. ‘Cuz they just bat their eyelashes and are a swell, upstanding guy like that.
Speaking of, coming out all over — although just implied in headlines — that Keir is a total Gai Boi, taking it up the backside like a total poofter. Now — I — don’t care. But somehow this is still relevant? Like Obama the real thing is HE thinks it’s disgusting and so then lies about it? If you think it’s great, why wouldn’t you just say it proud? — I — didn’t do that: YOU did.
“There are currently no formal agreements on holding negotiations between Moscow and Kiev in the Vatican, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday, noting that there is no set location at all for the next round of talks.”
Wait: there was a FIRST round of talks with Ze? You’re stretching the definition here. In the first round, they showed up, under force, then told the Russians to F—k off for 24 hours. Classic.

“• Ukraine Wants Fixed Percentage of EU’s GDP (RT)
Since: Finance: doesn’t this mean Europe is getting all of UKRAINE’s GDP? Since they already own everything in the country? Anyway, what are the odds since they never did % GDP for NATO Army, for decades, and are presently defenseless, with UK having fewer soldiers than furries.
“• Russia Set On Creating ‘Buffer Zone’ In Ukraine – Putin (RT)
Well you can stop them on the battlefield; how’s that going for you? Other than that, Russia says, “This shall be, as it was, for 500 years, and worked.” Any questions?
“• China Is Hardly the Economic Juggernaut Many Western Analysts Believe (Moran)
I see this constantly: “THEY’ve been Lying to you!” “10 weird tricks local housewives…” Who is “They”? Are you IN THE HOUSE??? How do you know what I think and have been taught? A: Made it all up. All of it. Just Make S—t Up for the Internets.
Anyway, WHO? WHICH western analysts? You’re implying China is a manufacturing weakling, doesn’t really, you know, create all goods on planet earth which if you buy anything from Walmart to car parts, says “CHINA” right there on the bottom. Who you gonna believe, me or your lying eyes?
“Beijing’s economic identity is a combination of Communist orthodoxy and crony capitalism.”
Yes but to be fair, all Socialism worldwide was always just crony capitalism. Lookin’ at you, USSR. Factory owners shop in Zurich, factory workers shop at GUM.
“One noted Chinese economist said in 2019, “Basically, China’s economy is all built on speculation and everything is over-leveraged.” He was proved right when the massive overbuilding of housing caused the market to collapse in 2021.”
Did it collapse though? No one here noticed. What are debts if the government ACTUALLY just says, “I erase debts!” That’s it. That was our option in ‘08, we could have paid off EVERY. SINGLE. AMERICAN MORTGAGE for like 1/10th of the bank bailout. “We just said.” That’s it. That’s why it was so infuriating they didn’t, and why the whole government “fell” subsequently. All RINOs, all Democrats, one by one chucked out over this s—t.
China “Just did this”. They had problems, needed something bailed out? Just “Made stuff up” (money) and “Just bailed it.” This is where George Soros lost his mind and called Xi the “Devil” evil dictator Ming from Mars. Why? Soros n’ Co need to PULL CAPITAL OUT, and Rug-pull, f—k China hollow, like they did with “Asian Tiger” collapse, own all China on the rug pull, repeat.
Xi merely said, “Nah. I lifted my pinky. I don’t think so.” And Soros, ALL WESTERN CAPITAL had nothing. Buppkis. Bye bye. China was NOT on the ranch. They did NOT become the new Pirate ship. Awwwwwwww….
What does “Over leverage” mean when there’s no one to collect? You send out Sharky, your debt collector, I shoot him in the face and turn his ballsack into a changepurse and mail it back to you saying “Please send more”? You ASSUME anything about the law means anything. At all. WHY? They sure the f—k don’t. That’s why I was so pissed off in ‘08. What law? Oh we’re going to pretend there’s LAW now, after 10 years of SEC and rating agencies taking money to fake things and refusing to tax stamp and register like 100 Million mortgages? You don’t even HAVE the paperwork, foreclosing on homes with no mortgages at all? GFY.
China’s just being honest: There is no f—king Law System. The Law is IN MY MOUTH. It’s whatever Xi SAYS it is, when he gets up at 7am. That means there is NO collections and therefore NO leverage. Suck it.
Okay, now Mr. “Western Analyst”, analyze their system. The system is whatever Xi wants it to be. It changes every time billionaire Jack Ma disappears to be reeducated.
“I think it’s been a very good but overdue thing to close down that Washington office and close a sad chapter in the history of a once-great agency.”
Great rundown, and sadly actually short compared to all their crimes, but what great agency? Their first director was J Edgar, notorious for Soviet-level political corruption. He was FDR’s Staasi, KGB.

““• Trump Admin Blocks Harvard From Enrolling International Students (ZH)
Seems super-dumb.What’s actually Super Duper Dumb is allowing your flag ship education institutions to be filled with your Enemies
Or your top technical-science-hi-tech institutes like MIT and Stanford to have a near majority of students be foreign nationals.
For what purpose?
Balance the college books?
Stuff the endowment fund with foreign cash?
Generate loads of H-1B future visas?
I’m positive China won’t allow that in their universities.

Russia announces the annexation of four regions of UkraineOn the afternoon of 30 September, President Vladimir Putin signed ‘agreements’ to annex four Ukrainian oblasts to Russia: Donetsk (the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic, DPR), Luhansk (the so-called Luhansk People’s Republic, LPR), Kherson and Zaporizhzhia. In a speech before the ceremony, he declared these acts irreversible. At the same time, he called on Kyiv to cease hostilities immediately and enter peace talks. He reiterated that Russia would defend its territory with all means available to it.
What is being destroyed in Ukraine, by the war, are mainly the infrastructures of the 4 oblasts.

ParticipantInvisible wars
Drone jammers are devices designed to disrupt the communication between a drone and its operator, typically by emitting electromagnetic signals that interfere with the drone’s control frequencies.
They are often used for security purposes to prevent unauthorized drones from entering restricted areas.
However, in Canada, jammers—including drone jammers—are prohibited under the Radiocommunication Act. Their use can interfere with essential communication systems, including emergency services and aviation signals, which is why they are strictly regulated.There are several alternatives to drone jammers for security, especially since jammers are heavily regulated in many countries. Here are some effective methods:
– Drone Interceptors: These are specialized drones designed to physically capture or disable unauthorized drones. Some use nets, while others deploy electronic countermeasures.
– Radar and RF Detection Systems: These systems monitor airspace for drone activity and alert security teams to potential threats.
– Geofencing: Many drones have built-in geofencing technology that prevents them from flying into restricted areas. Authorities can work with manufacturers to enforce no-fly zones.
– Spoofing Technology: Instead of jamming signals, spoofing tricks drones into thinking they are receiving legitimate commands, redirecting them away from restricted areas.
– Laser and Microwave Systems: Some advanced security solutions use directed energy weapons, such as lasers or microwaves, to disable drones without causing widespread interference.

ParticipantOne notable event in 2025 related to Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) was the introduction of the Trump Derangement Syndrome Research Act by Rep. Warren Davidson in May 2025. This bill aimed to direct the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to study the psychological and social roots of TDS, which Davidson described as extreme negative reactions to Donald Trump and his supporters.
The bill sparked controversy, with critics arguing that it was an attempt to label political dissent as a mental illness, while supporters saw it as a necessary step to understand the impact of political polarization. Davidson claimed that TDS had led to nationwide violence, including two assassination attempts on Trump.https://redstateobserver.com/article.asp?id=231439

ParticipantHeaviside dealt with it and his memory still does, the conceit of the written word. You know, because Heaviside still falls under suspicion since he wasn’t “formally educated” under the conceit of those written words.
Google or YouTube ‘Heaviside’ and information transmission theory then read the comments from the quasi-educated doubters. Some people
still refuse to believe ppl exist who know or learn without reading a book, ever.
D already positioned himself as a doubter of autodidactorists, my word.
I agree the word ‘autodidact’ doesn’t do the phenomenon any justice, but at least it suggests some doubt, a little recognition and a small nudge toward the possible.The conceit of the written word extends to grade school math teachers, women usually, who ruin the prospects of many boys and not so few girls who can perform that work in ther heads, so to speak, and anger rather than mesmerize the teacher. How many Heaviside’s has humanity lost at inception brutalized by a rigid intolerant mindset at the foundation of The World’s educational systems.
