[See the full post at: Debt Rattle October 14 2024]Can’t believe Elon accomplished this Rocket thing. But, blow up enough test dummies and what can you say? You probably will.
Tesla is the front of the 4th revolution. 1st, WHAT revolution? We invented the taxi? Like since horse-drawn hack cabs? Like they were joking last month, wow, Elon and Trump have now re-invented Radio. All the others are the same: Door Dash? Yeah, local delivery from the corner grocery like since 1920. Second and more important: and? Tesla stock is still like 10x overvalued EVEN IF that it true. So it’s STILL a sell, not a buy.
“A panicked Tim Walz replies that she’s not Trump.”
Sure seems staged, doesn’t it?
“If he leads the polls, they can throw a war in his lap. Probably Iran.
• Trump Warns of World War III Because of Biden Administration (RT)Yes but if I can see it coming, everyone can see it coming. That means they have a plan for it. Of course they can’t SAY that, so nothing’s happening. PCR, and Here, if the French Resistance isn’t making bombs, out on the sidewalk tables of the major cafes, well then, there’s no resistance and no work going on.
Here’s WHY they can’t say that. Russia and Iran need to sink like half the fleet overnight and blame it on Biden. 3,000 sailors dead. Half our bases overrun. THEN we go home. Oh! Treason! War Crime! My pearls! …Think about it like a General: by NOT doing this in 2004, we lost 80,000 men and nearly the country. That still doesn’t mean they can’t ADMIT that, they can’t technically CAUSE it, but like Pearl Harbor we can attract it and not prevent it when we could/should have. MIHA,LIHA
What do you prefer? Or should we all go live in a perfect world where these kind of things don’t happen?
“You have full immunity! [Mr. President] No kidding!”
The level of moronocracy is astonishing. Ask? The courts would instantly overrule all this stuff. Well, most of it anyway (he can pardon death row…for state crimes? Not sure, but others.) They are also Moronocracy for saying the President has immunity. He doesn’t, in like 20 ways. If you were semi-literate and asked, like every lawyer you ever met would explain that to you. The USSC was painfully clear on this, but the Media “Made s—t up” and now morons can’t be arsed to read.
Let’s take a page from their book: is calling for open unconstitutionality “Sedition”? I say it is, and as President, I have immunity according to you. So indict you and let the courts figure it out.
“It is therefore high time for the administration to sober up and think strategically, with a historic perspective”
Okay, yes. How? The entire structure is infested with zealots and non-strategic thinkers. And it’s not just one class: ask anyone from the landscaper to the Sec of State and they’ll all say “Government has infinity power! and can do anything!!!”, even get into your mind and make you feel and believe things, stop all speech, end drugs, make people be moral, turn men into women: ANYTHING!!! There is NO LIMITS and NO RULZ! Government is God. I am government = I am God.
So you have a general consensus of 99% of all Federal employees that there are no limits and Government is the best solution to literally everything (or they wouldn’t work there) and then ask them, “Hey, can we solve this middle east thing by regime-changing just one leeeeetle bitty country the size of France?” Who hates us, we can’t reach, and probably has nukes? OF COURSE THEY’LL SAY YES. They didn’t stop after Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, or Libya, did they?
So any “Plan” you have has to make sense to this 99% of all Federal employees, totally bat s—t insane, 5th column.
…But Oh! We’ll ask them to “Think Strategically”. Ah. That’ll work. How’d that work during Covid, using reason and logic, even practical ones like “This will backfire and everyone will resist government from now on, all Experts will be discredited for a generation”? Not so well? How’d that work saying Communists were in Hollywood trying to undermine the power of the United States since 1959?
Yeah, back to my plan, that won’t work. You have to give them something people this moronic, this a-cult-ed, can understand. “They sunk all our ships. We lost.” “We’re broke. The people are rioting. You’re on your own.”
“They’re coming to my house (as a federal employee making 6 digits fabricating evidence and screwing people). They’re already inside.” Got it? Something like that.
Now AFTER you get one of these, THEN you can start to change the minds of Schmartz peoples in government, who ought to know better, but not ‘til they’re punched in the kisser and dragged out through the sawdust and spilled beer. Remember: NOT ONE OF THEM HAS EVER ENCOUNTERED REALITY. Not once. That’s a lot of backlog to clear.
They’ve got 40 years of spankings and black eyes to catch up on and they won’t like it.
“The US has ordered the deployment of a THAAD air defense system to Israel,”
Yeah, like 100 men, and the THAADs don’t work. So, great advertisement that the U.S. is a wasteful, overpriced, out of date, has-been. Arranging my point above. Like Ukraine, we “Provided everything” (one bullet at a time, like Barney Fife), and we lost. So aw shucks, we tried Israel. Not our fault.

““That was two and a half years ago, and now they’ve depleted all of their armories and all of their ammunition stocks, and now you have to wonder whether they still have the ability to fight for two weeks.”

“t is undeniable that one of the worst administrations in NATO’s history – and the one that came closest to an open confrontation with Moscow – has now ended”
Stoltz killed NATO, so I for one would nominate him again. It’s worth it to have NATO cease to exist as the EU/Globalist standing army. The Nazi army. Bye bye.
As above, when 99% of all your own government employees are so idiotic as to believe this s—t, how exactly do you erase NATO right under their noses without them suspecting? Got a Plan? Whoops! Past tense: mission accomplished.

Lying doesn’t solve anything. At best it merely buys the miscreant a little more time, but the time it buys is just a stay of execution, not a pardon. For that to be granted it would be necessary for the guilty party to sincerely repent of the wrong doing and seek to make heartfelt amends. We haven’t seen very much of that in the past, even among the “reformed” (you know who I’m talking about), but in these coming days I think we’re going to see it a little more often than usual.
Necessity isn’t only the mother of invention. She’s also the mother of remorse.
@Oroboros: Taxes take money out of the economy where the government wants to take it out.
Spending and lending put money into the economy where the government and banks want to put it in.
It’s a flow, a selective perfusion of the economy with money, like your heart pumps blood to your kidneys, liver, brain and muscles.Taxes take money out of the economy where the government wants to take it out.
Spending and lending put money into the economy where the government and banks want to put it in.Like personal Income Taxes, for example. If the money were left in the possession of the individual then that person would most likely spend the bulk of it on things that were genuinely needed or which would most benefit themselves and their families.
It’s unlikely that they would spend it in ways deliberately intended to further increase the power of the government to take away even more of the person’s money and freedom of action.
The government, on the other hand, will predictably, as in EVERY TIME, put that money back IN to the system wherever the government wants it to go. Namely they predictably, as in EVERY TIME, use the money to increase the government’s power, wealth and freedom to do whatever the fuck they want to (which of course is simply to go on doing more and more of precisely that.)
About Vem Miller…from a comment at zh- mindy robinson says it’s a set-up.
Let me say that a simpler way.
The purpose of money and power is to acquire more money and power, and so wealth and authority over others will always be used to those ends.
Those who seek wealth and power will proclaim and persuade that they are seeking money and authority for some other reason. But but they’re lying.

Michael Moore suggests Biden take advantage of immunity ruling in last 100 days
by Juliann Ventura – 10/12/24 3:55 PM ET
Filmmaker Michael Moore made a “bucket list” of priorities for President Biden’s last 100 days in office, reminding the president several times in a post that he has immunity, which the Supreme Court recently determined for core presidential powers.“You’re not done. You’ve still got 100 days left in office! And the Supreme Court has just granted you super powers — AND immunity! You don’t answer to anyone. For the first time in over 50 years, you don’t have to campaign for anything,” Moore wrote in a Saturday post on Substack.

The Islamic Resistance continued on Monday confronting the Zionist war on Lebanon, inflicting more losses upon the enemy troops. Hezbollah escalated its attacks on the enemy bases and confrontations with the occupation forces in the border areas.Accordingly, Hezbollah Military Media issued a series of statement to detail the operations and their outcomes.
How dark the world of secrets!

The cotton mouth, surveilled,
Awaits a cue to let it speak.
The crackling, worldly wariness
Of those you are among
Is tainted with the smell of blood-
Betrayed by some loose tongue.Lahaina Slaughter Is Not Yet Finished https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/lahaina-slaughter-is-not-yet-finished
I spent about 3 hours going over the extensive compilation of links and texts sent to me by Steve in Japan last evening, and mulled it over in my dreams and the early morning hours. This is really a lot of information about the slaughter in Lahaina. It would be processed by AI, including videos, in a millisecond if download speeds were fast enough. I am much more limited, but I slept on it…
This was a vast and detailed and intimately managed assault on the native population of the Lahaina area on the island of Maui, using personnel who would never have chosen to do that, like the police, guided by their radios to constantly re-route drivers onto rods leading them into oncoming fire, so that the drivers who survived were the ones who disobeyed at the roadblocks. They had an intuition to disobey.
Most of the Emergency Response officials in Hawaii were on Oahu that day, taking classes at an emergency response conference, where they were told about a few grassfires from fallen power lines, already being put out, first thing in the morning, nothing unusual… They went into the day with that perception, and did not get different news until the widespread high-tech military assault on people was already in rapid-sequence-progress, and they got misleading information as it happened.
Governor Josh Green was in New York, presenting to the UN, the highest-level presentation of his life, and he also got misleading information until it was too late to act, and he was hobbled by not being in his operational setting, having to give general tasks to the Lieutenant Governor.
This compartmentalization, “siloing” of tasks and information is routinely used in military and intelligence settings to employ people to act in parts of a task that they would not be able to carry out for moral reasons if they understood the task.
Let me look a bit at the position Josh Green MD was in, because I worked with Josh at Kohala Hospital and ER on the Big Island on the several occasions that I worked there, about a year in total. Josh worked in ERs on the Big Island for 20 years, initially to work off Med School scholarship debt. He was a good ER Doc, enjoyed working with people, and was used to quickly and efficiently managing heart attacks, strokes and injuries of all kinds when he was the only doctor on the scene. If Josh Green were at his office in Hawaii, he would have habitually taken decisive action to help people, based upon the information provided to him. He would have worked through his own human channels, which would not have been limited to official channels of information, because Josh made a lot of human relations, by his very nature, which is what took him into Hawaiian politics. Human relations are “everything” in Hawaiian politics, because people on the islands live their lives through human connections.
Josh really liked making deals and doing favors for people as a State Senator. I called him when my eldest daughter was starting to apply to Med Schools, and Josh was quickly able to set up interviews, and scholarships, with further scholarships possible, and he did not ask for anything from me. This was completely in keeping with his Senatorial duties. He was helping recruit two physicians for rural Hawaii, which needed more physicians. Josh obviously enjoyed this kind of “politicking”.
I would be surprised if Josh Green were not involved in the Smart-City-Maui project, with developers and investors from Japan and global financial institutions. He would have been their natural go-to guy, but Josh Green MD would not have knowingly helped murder the citizens of Maui. Josh would need to be far removed that day, and he was.
What struck me most, going through all of the horrific accounts of human experience of people who survived the high-tech-beam-weaponry attacks, was how my head and eyes hurt and how tired I felt reading and reading for hours, but AI would not feel that way. Battlefield AI, in use in Ukraine and Gaza at that exact same time, would manage all of the instructions to cops to route traffic, and all of the specific beam-weapon attacks, car by car and house by house, with the appropriate amount of dwell-time for each target, based on the energy of the microwave (mostly) and laser beams in use. The blue painted cars and trucks were unscathed. Firemen had to abandon their fire truck when the glass window and steering wheel started bubbling before their eyes. Cars had pools of aluminum on the ground from wheels and engine-blocks, while grass and trees a few feet away were green. Boats burst into flames a quarter mile into the bay, while people nearby in the water watched. Blue trash cans and umbrellas survived the devastation which surrounded them. Battlefield AI, programmed to run an attack sequence and adapt in real time to the movements of the people, the targets, could have kept re-routing people into kill-zones and death-roads, as is still being done today in Gaza and Ukraine, with and without AI, because that is how wars kill people.
There is much in here, tales of people who fled between sequential attacks and were somehow sequentially missed, surviving to tell their tales, sometimes with video. There are the videos recorded by body-cams of local police, but the images that haunt me are those of a lone family dog, and a boy and his dog, both carbonized without burning into statues of themselves, the family-dog perfectly preserved and identifiable to the family that did get away, and the carbonized boy and doge, huddled and carbonized together in their final embrace, known clearly to the grandmother, who felt that “God had preserved them for her to recognize and identify”.
Tis is not finished. The investment machine grinds forward with its conversion-plans. People who were complicit are likely horrified inside. Local people Know They Were Slaughtered. Oprah is making real estate deals.
Human ways are not machine-ways. I see that this is what we all face in various forms, vast and coordinated killing-operations being run against us, one isolated group at a time, so as to not unite all people against the “owners”, their battlefield-AI, and their killing machines. Towards the Danger, The Democide of the Hawai’ian Native Capitol of Lahaina Maui https://individualistanarchy.wordpress.com/Ugo Bardi: The Age of Exterminations (IV). How to Kill the Rich
The Monastic order of the Templars (Pauperes commilitones Christi Templique Salomonici), was founded in 1119 as a military force to defend the Christian holdings in the Holy Land. In time, the order evolved into a financial structure: the Templars became bankers and they developed a sophisticated money transfer system that helped pilgrims and warriors to move to and from the Holy Land and to transfer money from Europe to Palestine and back. They have been termed “the first multinational corporation” in history.
As you may imagine, the Templars were rich, despite the term “pauperes” (poor fellows) in their name. They had land, castles, palaces, and, of course, plenty of gold and silver. The problem was that, with the loss of the last lands controlled by the Christian crusaders in the Holy Land, at the end of the 13th century, they had become useless: no more crusades, no need of a banking system to finance them.
At that point, the Templars attracted the attention of the king of France, Phillip IV, in dire need of money, as kings normally are. In 1307, he ordered the arrest of all Templars and the confiscation of their properties. Most of the leaders were burned at the stake after that they had confessed under torture all sorts of evil misbehaviors: spit on the cross, deny Christ, engage in indecent kissing, worship the devil, and other niceties.
As exterminations go, this one didn’t involve large numbers: we read of 54 executions in France in 1310. Probably there were more in other countries, but the total cannot be higher than a few hundred. Nevertheless, it had a big impact: it is said that the fame of Friday the 13th as an unlucky day originates from the date of the arrest of the Templars: Friday, October 13, 1307.
The question is, of course, can it happen again? How about our class of hyper-rich, the “100 billion dollar club,” that includes well-known names such as Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, and a few more? They are clearly going to become trillionaires in the near future. But a house full of gold is hard to defend, as we read in the Tao Te Ching. Could our Internet barons follow the destiny that long ago befell another class of financial tycoons, the Templars?
As usual, the key to the future is in the past. Examining the destiny of the Templars, we may understand the factors that may lead to the extermination of a powerful (but not enough) financial guild.
First of all, why were the Templars exterminated? I argued in previous posts (one, two, and three) that certain categories of people can be exterminated and their possessions confiscated when they are 1) wealthy, 2) clearly identifiable, and 3) militarily weak, The Templars clearly satisfied the first two rules but not necessarily the third: after all, they were a military order. Yet, when the King of France descended on them, they didn’t even try a military reaction. It may be that the prowess of the Templar Knights was much overrated: they were more like a private police force for a financial organization, not a real military force. But it may also be that it was exactly the presence of this force that hastened their downfall. Sometimes, a little military power may be worse than none at all, since it invites a decapitation strike. This is probably what happened to the Templars, exterminated just to make sure that they would not become a threat.
The story of the Templars is just an example of a power struggle that has very ancient origins. One of the earliest written texts we have was written by the Sumerian priestess Enheduanna who complained with the Goddess that her temple had been desecrated by a local warlord. Enheduanna does not say if the warlord was after the temple’s money, but we know that, at that time, temples were also banks, a tradition that remained unchanged for millennia. https://www.senecaeffect.com/2021/10/the-age-of-exterminations-iv-how-to.htmlEleni sends this from Scott Ritter: America’s Midas Touch
The dreams and aspirations of pre-war America evaporated in the reality of a post-war America where the Masters of War took precedent over a nation of builders. Death and destruction quickly became the coin of the realm, all in the name of seeking to impose a vision of American hegemony over a globe once dominated by Empires composed of friend and foe alike. Indeed, the Cold War between the US and the Soviet Union was triggered by Moscow’s refusal to subordinate itself financially to the American-led rules based international order more than anything else—Stalin’s opposition to joining the Bretton Wood’s institutions of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). His opposition was given voice in a speech delivered on February 9, 1946, where he extolled the strength of the Soviet economy as it compared to those of “world capitalists” like the United States and Europe. This led to George Kennan writing his now-famous “long telegram”, which in turn spawned the Truman-era of containment, which led to the Cold War.
The Cold War was about money, not ideology.
It was about the need for the United States to assert economic control over the post-war world.
It was about gold.
We touched Korea, and Koreans died.
We touched Vietnam, and the Vietnamese died (so, too, did Jimmy Stewart’s son, who was commissioned in the US Marines and died in combat leading his Marines in an action that would earn him a posthumous Silver Star medal).
We touched South and Central America, and the citizens of these lands died.
We touched Africa, and the Africans died.
We touched Afghanistan, and the Afghans died.
We touched Iraq, and the Iraqis died.
Everything we touched, died.
Everything we touch dies.
Americans would be hard-pressed to find one instance of American post-war policy intervention that did not manifest itself into death and destruction.
The America curse.
The American Midas Touch.
And this is the part most Americans fail to comprehend. There are those among us, like Senator Lindsey Graham, whose faces can contort into a combined smile-sneer as they speak about the financial benefit America will accrue by embarking on its path of blood-soaked hegemony.
But they forget the end of the Midas story.
A king driven mad by hunger and thirst, void of friends and family, because the happiness sought through the pursuit of gold only, in the end, left him surrounded by death and famine. https://scottritter.substack.com/p/americas-midas-touchKyle Young, The US Government War on Americans, Neighbors vs. FEMA [FEMA is a political slush fund now.]
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was created by President Jimmy Carter in 1978. In March of 2003 President Bush brought FEMA under the vast, new umbrella of the Department of Homeland Security. The creation of DHS was the largest expansion of government since FDR’s New Deal programs. Yes, a Republican was responsible for one of the largest expansions of government in US history.
The stated mission of FEMA was to “Help people before, during and after disasters”. However, under the Biden/Harris administration FEMA has undergone a major transition. The 2022-2026 FEMA Strategic Plan has changed the focus to what the Biden/Harris FEMA calls “Three bold, ambitious goals”.
Goal 1: Instill equity as a foundation of emergency management
Goal 2: Lead whole of community in climate resilience
Goal 3: Promote and sustain a ready FEMA and prepared nation
As you can see, disaster relief is no longer on the radar.
As one might expect, the “equity” in Goal 1 means some groups of people will now get preferential treatment. As you will soon learn, migrants top the list of preferred groups…
..Maybe it’s because I’ve lived in a small, remote community of less than 1,000 people for most of my life, an unincorporated community with no local government and no local law enforcement, that I’ve come to appreciate the value of developing relationships with fiends and neighbors. To some degree many of us are self sufficient in food production, home building, solar systems, mechanics, and many have other barterable skills. Of course, we don’t all see eye to eye on many issues, but we’ll be there for each other in the event of a disaster.
Unlike FEMA or the DoD, none of us would even consider confiscating our neighbors property. Quite the opposite. I’m quite sure that if some federal agency came and tried to confiscate my property I would have a small army of well armed neighbors here within minutes to help me defend my farm. https://secularheretic.substack.com/p/the-us-goverment-war-on-americansThis is what the North Carolina State legislators watched before moving to protect North Carolina from the Federal Government, which then withdrew:

On Sunday, the spokesman for the UN chief quoted Guterres as saying that the Israeli attacks “may constitute a war crime.” “UNIFIL personnel and its premises must never be targeted,” Stephane Dujarric said, referring to the blue-helmet international force. “Attacks against peacekeepers are in breach of international law…(and) may constitute a war crime.” “In a deeply worrying incident that occurred today, the entrance door of a UN position was deliberately breached by [the Israeli military] armored vehicles,” he added in a statement. https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2024/10/14/735197/UN-chief–Israeli-attacks-on-UNIFIL–may-constitute-a-war-crime-Netanyahu calls on UN to evacuate Lebanon peacekeepers, UNIFIL forces will be in danger unless they withdraw, the Israeli prime minister has warned https://swentr.site/news/605652-netanyahu-guterres-evacuate-peacekeepers/
(Uh, can we get some air support and artillery cover down here?) Joe Lauria, UN Troops in Lebanon Can Shoot Back at Israel
United Nations peacekeepers who have been fired upon by Israel can fire back at them according to a 2006 U.N. Security Council resolution.
Paragraph 12 of Resolution 1701, which helped bring about an end of fighting in the 33-day Israel-Hezbollah conflict in 2006, says that the U.N. Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL): “Acting in support of a request from the Government of Lebanon to deploy an international force to assist it to exercise its authority throughout the territory, authorizes UNIFIL to take all necessary action in areas of deployment of its forces and as it deems within its capabilities, to ensure that its area of operations is not utilized for hostile activities of any kind, to resist attempts by forceful means to prevent it from discharging its duties under the mandate of the Security Council, and to protect United Nations personnel, facilities, installations and equipment … ” [Emphasis added.]
Repeated attacks by Israel Defense Force (IDF) beginning last week and continuing until at least Sunday, accurately fit the description of “hostile activities” in UNIFIL’s “areas of deployment.” https://consortiumnews.com/2024/10/13/un-troops-in-lebanon-can-shoot-back-at-israel/The Lebanese Health Ministry has said that Israeli strikes in Lebanon on Saturday killed at least 51 people and wounded 174.
The ministry said that since last October, Israel has killed 2,306 people and wounded 10,698 in Lebanon. The breakdown isn’t clear, but the Israeli bombing campaign has killed many civilians, especially since it dramatically escalated attacks on September 23.
Late Saturday, Israel targeted an Ottoman-era market in the southern Lebanese city of Nabatieh that was established in 1910. The attack obliterated the area, with Lebanese Civil Defense officials saying they battled fires in 12 residential buildings and 40 shops in the market. https://news.antiwar.com/2024/10/13/israeli-strikes-in-lebanon-killed-at-least-51-on-saturday/#gsc.tab=0Israel Confirms 4 Soldiers Dead, 60 Injured, After Biggest Hezbollah Drone Attack Of War

Hossam Shabat, one of the last remaining journalists in northern Gaza, reports the following on Twitter:
“The Israeli occupation has besieged us in this area, which includes Beit Hanoun, Beit Lahia, and the Jabalia refugee camp, for the past eight days. Since October 1st, they have stopped all food, water, and medical supplies from entering. They have threatened hospitals to shut down, stopped fuel from entering in order for hospitals to operate, and are targeting anyone who moves. So far, 400 people have been killed. People are bleeding in the streets, and we can’t reach them.” https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/its-so-so-bad-and-its-about-to-getPalestinians in Jabalia killed with ‘unspeakable cruelty and sadism’: UN rapporteur
In a social media post on Sunday, Francesca Albanese said Palestinian civilians in Jabalia “are killed – both in groups and one by one – amid unspeakable cruelty and sadism” by Israeli troops “who have accepted to be ‘willing executioners’ of a genocidal plan.”
She further noted that the Israeli attacks are being conducted with Western support and weapons… “What is happening in northern Gaza now is a genocide within the genocide,” Palestinian Ambassador Majed Bamya, the deputy permanent observer to the UN, wrote on X.
Israeli troops in Jabalia are burning houses and bombing them with tanks and artillery fire, using Palestinians as human shields. https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2024/10/13/735172/UN-Francesca-AlbanesePalestine-Gaza-Jabalia-So many children without arms and legs.
