    Kunstler was shut off. Normal or an attack? He is/was a Democrat, leading the minions to …somewhere else. And that’s why everyone is on substack as well.

    “• Harris Team Drafts Trump Stand-in For Debate Prep – WaPo (RT)

    Hilarious, Team Harris was desperately backing out of the debate — but not the way you think. They wanted NOT Joe Biden rules, since Joe Biden rules were stupid and unfair, that’s why the DNC worked hard to make them. No, Harris wants to bail out unless the mikes are always turned ON, so Trump can interrupt and Harris can nag and scold “No, mm-mmm, I’m speaking, I’m speaking.” No. Joke. That’s what they’ve got. Okay you ALREADY had the AWFL female vote. Women are the only core group remaining in the whole DNC. So their plan is to advocate and lobby, convince the only voters the already have and can count on.

    Yes. Like Hillary campaigning California instead of Michigan, week of the election.

    I…go ahead and let them do whatever. With thinking like that, every situation is a win.

    Reminds me of Ukraine, actually, as this non-truth, non-thinking is promoted worldwide. So they have divisions that aren’t divisions, have a fraction of their supposed men. They are dividing them up, as all soldiers sent to Kursk are tricky-tricky become the 181st(??) on arrival. Then the men don’t do what they’re asked. When called to see how things are going, they lie about it. So the command asks, “We need to know what’s going on the ground there” you know, to plan and move other men, so they lie about what’s happening, because – and rightfully so – the know if they tell the truth, the commanders will order them into a suicide box. So they say they’re already pinned down. So the commanders, who KNOW they are lying, then have to GUESS the lie, and what’s really happening, and then guess wrong, order them somewhere stupid, so the men lie and say, “We’re there.” Ad finitum. Ad Absurdo

    So at every level, you won! The Truth has been entirely expunged from every level. Nirvana Achieved! …And this helps you win in what important way, against adversaries who do NOT lie? Who on the Russian side say, “There are men here in Kursk” then…surprise! There are Enemy in Kursk. Like they simply said. So they send out men to meet them…who are real men, who actually exist, don’t run away, and meet them? Then command asks, “What’s going on?” So the Russian army / Trump campaign tells them. So knowing this report, which is actually true, they then can plan and move resources to the next area?

    Part of my question is why it even takes so long. Clearly there is something in the lie that make you die slower, like you’re unpredictable and really give it your all, whereas in a normal fight, you just get whacked, and surrender.

    Silver, latest interactive polls:

    There won’t be an election. They’ll shut off the power and blow a nuclear bomb first.

    “And so there’s my one concession for the left side of the aisle: abortion.”

    Not mine, I don’t concede: if they reduce it to the states, you’re fine. Lobby the states now. No issue. Should I give that to only women voters in only states that might outlaw it? Like 20 very Red states? Sure. But not the nation. Still, I expect Harris to get about 1.2 Billion votes. With an overwhelming mandate like that, who could take her to court?

    ““…in America law is a shield of the people, but that the Democrats have turned it into a weapon in the hands of the state..”

    When was this magic time? Not under the Adams administration.

    PCR, Trump Should”

    I’m more backing up and looking this way: Trump had to cause them to go nuts, lash out, reveal their true selves (like any narcissist sociopaths) and now that they’re fully committed (or should be committed) takes one step back toward normalcy. Finally everyone understands what’s at stake, or everyone that’s coming. But look back: it took THIS to get here. Nothing else would do, or nothing else anyone could come up with and since 1947 we’ve tried everything.

    “• Professors Rally Academics Around ‘Less Bad’ Candidate Trump (Caldwell)

    They’ll all be fired. Problem solved. Since there’s no reason, and “They’ll Just Make S—t Up!” it’s really no problem at all. Tenure: Pfffffftt!!! I use the magic word “Racism” and then get anything I want. No rulz!

    “Instead, Trump proposed penalty tariffs on hostile-country trade with the US.”

    What was it, like 2/3rds of all poor countries are under U.S. sanctions, and the US Department that deals with that is backlogged years after a 10x increase in work? And this is succeeding how? 1) EVERYONE is under sanctions and not allowed to talk to us. 2) EVERYONE has to leave the US$.

    By contrast there was ONE victory article yesterday, gloating that BRIICS was not going as well or quickly as expected. Uh-huh. And Saudi, India, etc are using XRP and mainlining it. Every day another brick falls. But I guess we’re still winning as Turkey leaves the Anglosphere.

    “• The Prosecution of Elon Musk for “Undermining” the Federal Government (Turley)

    Now you see why he was trying to arm-twist Twitter, get discovery, all that, but then just caved and bought it. We needed this now, in this clock and time-window. Got it? Yes, he’s only X amount better than before, but we both have “better than before,” and direction of travel. It’s sad nothing is perfect here on earth, I guess we should just blow it up then. = The Perfect is the Enemy of the Good. I’d settle for Good. Good is about 10 levels up from here. If we should ever get to “Good” we can all sit down and discuss what direction to move in.

    “However, that right [Free Speech] is not unlimited. He is under some special limitations”

    Elon is not a company. You contract with his COMPANIES, which YOU said are people. So go after THOSE people, who are not Elon. Right? Or is everybody who works at a company now have no free speech rights?

    A: I want it. You have it. So I Make S—t Up. I use magic words for magic spells: “Racism!” “White Supremacy!” “Mean! Whaaaaaah! ”

    “Starmer constantly referred to the threat posed by populism”

    That is: Democracy. The People’s will. It must be stopped.

    “By 2023, the New York Times was running essays headlined: “Elections Are Bad for Democracy”.

    Why this works I have no idea. They just use “a word”, suddenly people are diverted and shoot themselves. Populism IS Democracy.

    “• Trump Unveils Plan To Stop De-Dollarization (RT)

    He can do whatever he wants. Even be honest and set it all up: It won’t matter. People won’t BELIEVE, in the future, the next guy won’t reverse it. It’s “Expectations.” That’s true of the market too, runs on Expectations, not reality. Given that, I’m not even sure he should. Like, why bother? But personally, I feel it’s right and moral, so I don’t have another alternative.

    “• Boeing Offers Staff 25% Pay Hike In Bid To Avoid Strike (BBC)

    Sounds insane. But depending on last agreement, THAT MAY ONLY BE INFLATION. Like, if 5+ years ago, costs have risen that much, 5%/yr compounded. Now you see the problem with everybody else? Yeah, we all LOST 25% income under Biden.

    Actually, that wasn’t “Lost”, it was “Transferred.” There are only the assets there are. People don’t lose money in the market, it is transferred.

    The “Inflation” TRANSFERRED the money to the Cantillionaires. That is, to Biden, D.C., to Wall Street and to billionaire bondholders, arms manufacturers. That’s where inflation STARTED, when they printed money. You are who it was taken FROM. …And also why they always choose inflation. Hard money is almost always a push back and an increase in honesty. We can’t have that. The liars would have to go mop bathrooms at IHOP as they are qualified for.

    For those who “threw in the towel” and abandoned their Hillary prediction, don’t look now but there’s another debate coming. Same result as the June debate and another candidate airlifted in? CNN turning on Kamala, plus media polls sort of reflecting reality, is Clinton calling in her markers?

    Election night shall be interesting. Will they turn everything off at 10pm but keep it turned off permanently?

    I imagine that if they can’t rig enough votes that they’ll simply claim Russia fixed it for Trump then refuse to give up power. What’s Trump do if he wins but they won’t let him become president? He doesn’t have his own personal army to storm DC. Round up the MAGA gang for another Jan 6th assault? Americans – with all their guns – can’t even protect their cats and ducks! Yet they’re going to drain the swamp?

    Assuming Trump is actually going to try to fix things, he must be president before he has power to do anything. And he can’t become president unless the Democrats recognize his election victory.

    What do Americans do if this happens? Pray the internet is still running so they have somewhere to go and vent.

    I don’t know what’s going on in Springfield, Ohio. I hate to think it’s as bad as they say it is. Why would the locals just sit on their guns and allow it to happen? Are all westerners now so useless that we won’t even stand up for our most basic rights? Oops! I forgot the lockdowns and mask mandates. Question answered.

    If only they were cannibals and eating feminists. Then all Americans would be on the same side.

    Where does this end? I’m thinking 1866 kinds of things. When law and order breaks down and authority protect the criminals then guess what happens? I wouldn’t be surprised if we see a new version of the KKK emerge.

    Shadow War Right Now https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/shadow-war-right-now

    Many of us have seen enough to assume that Kamala Harris can only lose an election to Donald Trump, even with a moderate amount of vote rigging. This is mostly important in light of what team each represents. Trump represents traditional US nationalist interests and national economy, while Harris represents globalist interests, which extract value from nations in a parasitic fashion. I am personally voting for Jill Stein MD again, because she and I both stand for the human-rights of indigenous Palestinian people.

    Having an election under these circumstances seems too risky for the current cabal of transnational elites, typified as BlackRock investors. They need to maintain control over enforcement, which was brought into question last week when NYPD officers made it known that a lot of them would call-in-sick on September 18, the day of Trump’s sentencing in the Stormy Daniels payoff case, rumored to be a year in Rikers Prison. A contingent of National Guard forces in a New York hotel was reported following that (a cohort with a lot of Trump supporters.) … Last Friday the NYC judge delayed Trump’s sentencing until after the election, https://www.zerohedge.com/political/judge-delays-trumps-hush-money-sentencing-until-after-election and the largest national Police union endorsed Trump and announced that it “had his back” https://www.zerohedge.com/political/judge-delays-trumps-hush-money-sentencing-until-after-election
    I ask that you might hold the consideration that the elite power struggle between globalist and nationalist factions is being fought now, and that November elections, should they occur, will reflect the outcome of these occult September and October contests. The current parasitic elites are deeply entrenched and increasingly desperate to hold power.

    Not only did Lee Harvey Oswald have absolutely nothing to do with the assassination of JFK… he was working closely with the Kennedy brothers by spying on rogue elements within the C.I.A. who were constantly planning to assassinate Fidel Castro against the explicit orders of President Kennedy.
    “Not only did Lee Harvey Oswald (LHO) have no involvement whatsoever with the JFK assassination, he was deliberately set up as the patsy by both the C.I.A. and FBI because they caught him working for a super-secret sting operation set up by both President John F. Kennedy and Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy. JFK had had it with the many attempts to assassinate Cuba’s President Castro and knew that he had to do something radical to defang the C.I.A. in this regard. So, he and brother Bobby recruited LHO into a highly covert cell of double agents to expose the rogue CIA operatives and their insubordinate leaders in Langley who were operating out of their New Orleans secret headquarters. NOLA, at the time, was a hotbed of hot-headed Cubanos who wanted Castro dead in the worst way and they were forever colluding with the CIA to knock him off.” https://stateofthenation.co/?p=249546 Photo of Oswald in Russia, with wife, Marina.

    Tulsi Gabbard Destroys Cheney Endorsement: “A Vote For Kamala Harris Is A Vote For Dick Cheney”
    The great thing about the timing of her appearance on Carlson’s Live Tour is that she took the stage just after Dick Cheney and his daughter Liz, both “lifelong Republicans”, issued full-throated endorsements of Kamala Harris for president, while also blasting “depraved human being” Donald Trump.
    83-year old former Vice President Cheney, who oversaw with GW Bush the invasion of Iraq and overthrow of Saddam Hussein, said in his Saturday statement: “In our nation’s 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump.”…
    ..”I have a very simple message for my Democrat friends, my independent friends, and those who may not be sure about who they’re voting for in this election. Dick Cheney has just made the choice very clear”… “A vote for Kamala Harris is a vote for Dick Cheney, the architect of everything that has gone wrong in the Middle East for the last few decades,” Gabbard emphasized. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/tulsi-gabbard-destroys-neocons-endorsement-vote-kamala-harris-vote-dick-cheney

    Cheney Reaction
    China and trade are likely to be a lively topic of discussion on Tuesday when Donald Trump and Kamala Harris face off in the second Presidential debate (the first between these candidates). Readers will recall that Trump has promised tariffs of 100% or more on Chinese goods should he be elected President, and over the weekend he extended that promise to include any country that seeks to exit the Dollar-based global trade system. “You leave the dollar and you’re not doing business with the United States because we are going to put a 100% tariff on your goods”.
    In an election cycle that has already made for strange political bedfellows – a Kennedy and a former DNC Vice Chair are openly supporting Donald Trump – the strangeness was amplified by news over the weekend Bush VP Dick Cheney will be supporting Kamala Harris. Tucker Carlson was quick to point out that this shouldn’t really surprise anyone, because we are witnessing a political re-alignment where the old lines of demarcation between Democrats and Republicans are being swept away and replaced by a delineating question of “are you a globalist, or a nationalist?”
    In some respects, this is a throwback to an older style of American politics. Trump’s deployment of tariffs to “Make America Great Again” bears a strong resemblance to Abe Lincoln’s exclamation “give us a protective tariff and we will have the greatest nation on earth”, and his admiration for William McKinley’s protectionism is well known. Harris, almost by default, assumes the role of torchbearer for a multilateral approach to foreign affairs, free(er) trade and US military adventurism of the type that Cheney is notorious for. https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/cheney-reaction

    CIA and MI6 chiefs warn of threats to ‘world order’
    The US and UK spy bosses have named China and Russia as the main challengers to the status quo
    The global order is under threat from a number of state actors, the heads of the American and British foreign intelligence agencies – the CIA and MI6 – claimed in a joint op-ed published by the Financial Times on Saturday.
    In the piece, Bill Burns and Richard Moore pledged that Washington and London would work in lockstep to retain the status quo in a world where technology has considerably accelerated geo-political trends…
    ..In the op-ed, Burns and Moore observed that “there is no question that the international world order – the balanced system that has led to relative peace and stability and delivered rising living standards, opportunities and prosperity – is under threat in a way we haven’t seen since the cold war.”
    “Today, we co-operate in a contested international system where our two countries face an unprecedented array of threats,” the top spies wrote…
    ..In addition, Burns and Moore accused Moscow of waging a “reckless campaign of sabotage across Europe” as well as spreading “lies and disinformation designed to drive wedges between us.”
    However, according to the op-ed, in the eyes of the CIA and MI6 “the principal intelligence and geopolitical challenge of the 21st century” is the “rise of China.” Both agencies have already reorganized their processes to “reflect that priority.” https://www.rt.com/news/603676-cia-mi6-chiefs-threats-world-order/

    John Helmer, from Russia, TRUMP REPEATS PUTIN BRIBE – LIMITED SANCTIONS RELIEF IN EXCHANGE FOR STOPPING RUSSIAN GENERAL STAFF PLAN OF OPERATIONS, ACCEPTANCE OF US DOLLAR DOMINANCE
    Presidential candidate Donald Trump has repeated his promise to end the Ukraine war the day after his re-election with a bribe for President Vladimir Putin and his two pro-American constituencies, the Central Bank of Russia and the Russian oligarchs.
    Applauded by an audience of New York lawyers and businessmen on Thursday afternoon, September 5, Trump answered a question from a Sullivan & Cromwell lawyer, Rodgin Cohen, who asked if Trump “would strengthen or modify any of these economic sanctions, particularly Russia.”
    Trump replied that sanctions “ultimately kill the dollar and kill everything the dollar represents. We have to continue to have that be the world currency…I think that if we lose the dollar as the world currency, I think that would be the equivalent of losing a war. That would make us a third world country…you’re losing Iran; you’re losing Russia.China is out there trying to get their currency to be the dominant one…I want to use sanctions as little as possible.” https://johnhelmer.net/trump-repeats-putin-bribe-limited-sanctions-relief-in-exchange-for-stopping-russian-general-staff-plan-of-operations-acceptance-of-us-dollar-dominance/#more-90334

    Leaked US Army Documents: Thousands Of Violent Venezuelan Prison Gang Members Run Amok Across America
    Investigative reporter James O’Keefe published unclassified information from the US Army North Division on X, revealing that the Venezuelan prison gang wreaking havoc across the northern Denver suburb of Aurora has become a nationwide crisis. Law-abiding Americans will soon feel the growing consequences of the Biden-Harris administration’s failed open southern border policies (recall what’s happening in Springfield, Ohio) of importing the third world into the first world.
    “O’Keefe Media Group has obtained Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) from the US Army of the North Division, highlighting the growing presence of one of Venezuela’s largest criminal organizations in the US. The document states that Tren de Aragua “has established a presence in Brooklyn, Bronx, and Williamsburg, NY, “with “approximately 400 TdA members” living in these cities. The CUI also warns that TdA members in Denver “have been given a ‘green light’ to fire on or attack law enforcement,” with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in New York receiving a similar report. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/leaked-us-army-documents-thousands-violent-venezuelan-prison-gang-members-run-amok-across

    Leaked footage from the Israeli Air Force proves it was the IDF that took out its own citizens with Apache Helicopters on October 7 at the Nova music festival…. Israel has now admitted 28 Apache helicopters discharged their ammunition and had to be reloaded…
    Below is the video, taken by cameras aboard one of the actual Apache Attack Helicopters participating in the 10/7 “Self Defense.”
    The IDF Air Crews were dispatched to several places and told there were ongoing terror attacks taking place; they were ordered to “shoot everything that moves” and had NO IDEA they were hitting their own Israeli citizens.
    The troops involved were desperately trying to take out “the bad guys” but were not told there were Israeli citizens mixed-in and trying to flee.
    The poor troops didn’t find out until well after the 10/7 incidents, that THEY KILLED their own citizens by mistake.
    Israel has repeatedly told everyone who will listen that “1200 Israelis were killed in the attacks of 10/7.” Israel told NO ONE that it was their own IDF that killed more than HALF of the now-dead. https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/news-selections/world-news/leaked-classified-video-from-israeli-apache-attack-helicopters-showing-the-idf-attacked-its-own-citizens-on-10-7

    ‘Game of demographics’: How Israel aims to wipe out Palestinians from Occupied East Jerusalem
    The plight of Palestinians in the West Bank has garnered some global attention as Israel launched its largest military operation there in more than two decades, inflicting wanton destruction of properties and infrastructure in the northern cities of Jenin, Tulkarem and Tubas.
    Its forces have killed and wounded scores of Palestinians over the past 10 days, adding to the more than 6,000 casualties in the Occupied Territory since the Gaza war began on 7 October.
    In Occupied East Jerusalem, however, experts say Israel has taken a different approach, using the Gaza war to accelerate the “silent displacement” of Palestinians to reshape its demographic landscape.
    The strategy there has four main elements: demolitions, evictions, land confiscation and expansion of illegal settlements. https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20240906-game-of-demographics-how-israel-aims-to-wipe-out-palestinians-from-occupied-east-jerusalem/

    ​ Officials sound alarms as crypto mines threaten to crash US state power grids
    ​ Texas is home to 10 of the 34 largest Bitcoin “mines,” according to Inside Climate News. Bitcoin mines are enormous warehouses where thousands of powerful computers operate 24/7, running programs that support the cryptocurrency’s transactions and operations.
    ​ But the use of so much power is doing more than simply validating purchases. It’s now threatening to crash the state’s power grids — particularly worrying for Texas, given its high prevalence of natural disasters, ICN reports.
    ​ The crypto mines can draw up to 2,600 megawatts of power — the equivalent of the power used by all of Austin — and their demand is on track to almost double by 2030, per the news outlet. ICN referenced a social media post by state Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who said, “it can’t be the Wild Wild West of data centers and crypto miners crashing our grid and turning the lights off.”
    ​ They also drive up energy prices for consumers, contribute to air pollution, and generate noise pollution for nearby residents, per ICN.​ https://www.thecooldown.com/green-business/crypto-mining-impact-texas-power-grid/

    Gerald Ford knew where the virus came from, a bioweapons lab and ordered a rush-vaccine. Accidental Virus Release May Have Triggered Mysterious 1977 Pandemic
    Nineteen-year-old US Army Pvt. David Lewis set out from Fort Dix on a 50-mile hike with his unit on 5 February 1976. On that bitter cold day, he collapsed and died.
    Autopsy specimens unexpectedly tested positive for an H1N1 swine influenza virus.
    Virus disease surveillance at Fort Dix found another 13 cases among recruits who had been hospitalized for respiratory illness. Additional serum antibody testing revealed that over 200 recruits had been infected but not hospitalized with the novel swine H1N1 strain.
    Alarm bells instantly went off within the epidemiology community: Could Pvt. Lewis’ death from an H1N1 swine flu be a harbinger of another global pandemic like the terrible 1918 H1N1 swine flu pandemic that killed an estimated 50 million people worldwide?
    The US government acted quickly. On 24 March 1976, President Gerald Ford announced a plan to “inoculate every man, woman, and child in the United States.”
    On 1 October 1976, the mass immunization campaign began. [Most of us knew to avoid the deadly vaccine already.] https://www.sciencealert.com/accidental-virus-release-may-have-triggered-mysterious-1977-pandemic

    I will sign an executive order banning any federal employee from colluding to limit speech, and we will fire every federal bureaucrat who is engaged in domestic censorship under the Harris regime

    Trump taking the ego stroking for a law that duplicates the constitution? maybe he should focus on enforcement, using the laws that exist to stop his friends in, for example, big pharma, from stealing money from the public illegally by price fixing. It would be a start, but not quite as moronically glamorous as is required by the moron Trump ego. Go Kamala, Camilla … whores, who can remember their names?

    From yesterday.
    Reminder to Dr D and Oro: Technology is forced upon us with little self-preference left to chose, if any.
    Software main downside, in my view: an army of people who could not draw by hand are suddenly are “able to”. I can always tell when is one of them who did the CAD “drawing”.
    Software upside: Ability for remote work.
    For the sake of argument, what would have been an alternative (“plan B to break the proverbial monopoly”) to access and post on TAE?

    Kunstler yesterday: The Votes and Who Counts Them
    “The world is a dangerous place to live — not because of the people who are evil but because of the people who don’t do anything about it.” —Albert Einstein
    https://jameshowardkunstler.substack.com/p/the-votes-and-who-counts-them

    When The New York Times tells you that the United States Constitution is a threat to democracy — As it did on the front page of its August 31 edition — you know that you are in thrall to exceedingly subtle minds. The Times only employs persons, both birthing and other, of the subtlest minds. You can tell because they are credentialed by our country’s finest institutions of educational credentialing.

    They come to The Times fully equipped with the armamentarium of advanced, progressive, innovative, nuanced, cutting-edge modes of understanding our world — which, you’ll agree, is a pretty goshdurned complex place, and rather niggardly in yielding its secret workings. Hence, The Times has concluded that the Constitution is flawed, perhaps fatally, because it allowed for the election of Donald Trump once, and now, possibly, a second time:

    “It’s no surprise, then, that liberals charge Trump with being a menace to the Constitution. But his presidency and the prospect of his re-election have also generated another, very different, argument: that Trump owes his political ascent to the Constitution, making him a beneficiary of a document that is essentially antidemocratic and, in this day and age, increasingly dysfunctional.”

      O’Keefe Media Group has obtained Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) from the US Army of the North Division, highlighting the growing presence of one of Venezuela’s largest criminal organizations in the US.

    Really, U.S. Army North Division?
    Army of the United States?
    Civilian Army of United States?
    Not the Army National Guard?

    So many questions.
    Law enforcement and FBI can’t handle the Venezuelan Gang threat, why?
    Too busy harassing White Deplorables and other J6 Sympathizers, perhaps??

    Is O’Keefe referring to Posse Comitatus since the 2003 AUMF or 2001 declaration of emergency?

    Here we go again with “It’s the Nazis again”.

    Although the Nazis were “defeated by the Greatest Generation” and control absolutely nothing, not the banks, businesses, courts, medicine or military, TPTB keeps fingering the wrong thing for blame while The Ukraine loses an entire generation or two of young men and Palestine loses everything.
    Blame it on The Nazis.

    In other news Telegram linked to White Supremacists by the Justice Department. I feel safer now.

    Israel has used 20,000 big US made bombs and only managed to kill 40,000 Palestinians, so far.
    That is on̈ly 2 dead Palestinians per big bomb.
    That is really quite pathetic. /s
    Russia only uses a few big bombs and kills an̈d wounds over 2,000 Ukrainians per day.
    Ironic, isn’t it?

    Since the deep state doesn’t want to lose power, they will have to count ballots or not hold an election, or not confirm Trump.

    The reason 20,000 Haitians went to Springfield, Illinois, the capital of Illinois, is because someone told the Haitians that the people in Springfield spoke their languag!

    Kamala Harrìs bìggest con̈cern about the debate tonight, is deciding which salad dressing she should put on her word salad! Russian, French, Greek, Italian, Romanian, 1000 Islands?
