    “Democrat-led U.S. election interference laundered through allegations against Russia.”

    Yes, we’re at the point of the Sane vs the Insane. Those who can remember a month into the past, and those who can’t. So yes, sad to quote like, Crowder, etc. Why would I normally? Well because CNN, etc are all literally inane people. Like demonstrably having turret’s lunar “tics” (couldn’t resist) and drooling while shouting at things other people can’t see, like the moon and Russians in their underpants.

    “Missouri had a total of 78,421 register to vote in just ONE WEEK”

    So 100k per week, per State. But there’s no election interference, it’s Russia calling up and trying to register Vladimir and Sasha at 5M names per WEEK. (100k x 50 states) Yup, totally plausible. Just like you remember how Russia made us bomb Afghanistan and stopped us from getting national health care! Damn them!

    The Sane and the Insane.

    “Their deception reveals that they have nothing but contempt for the Declaration and Constitution and, thus, the American people.”

    You’d think an exaggeration, but not. NYT prints “the major threat to Americans is the Constitution”. Not only prints it, but publishes it TO the American people. To voice an idea like that clearly shows contempt. This is a few years after they stated that they wished the U.S. was like North Korea. You know, free, prosperous, and equitable.

    Every. Day. And some apparently don’t notice: The Save vs the Insane.

    “• Election Guru In US Claims Harris Will Beat Trump (RT)

    Lichtman says the economy is wonderful, everybody knows it. Harris having no support nor discovery in a nomination process makes her strong. And because of this, the people like her far more. Right.

    “Nate Silver, claimed on Wednesday that Trump’s chances of beating Harris were higher than at any point since the vice president entered the race”

    Nate is a far-left liberal bias, but I read him as actually believing what he says, and actually putting forth a process he thinks is real. Bellweather for the standard Left.

    $10 Million isn’t the roads budget for a small, rural town.

    “It is not a ‘hidden crime’, but an activity indistinguishable from lawful behavior. More to the point, the subjects being discussed, whether influenced by the alleged money or not, were matters already in the public domain, expressing views and sharing information which is already readily available everywhere, and which were commonplace beliefs among an already significant part of the American population. We are not talking state or corporate secrets, calls for violence or other seditious activity, which rise to the level of a national security risk.”

    Read this again and what do you have? Americans haven’t drilled down into the points of the law, that is, they’re ignorant. (Why should they be? Do we all have to train as lawyers now? Let them do their day jobs) So what is the charge and telling the American People? A: Appeal to Authority. That’s it. Word soup = Trust us. When have we ever lied?

    “Reporting Irving’s findings does not make Irving or me or anyone an anti-semite or holocaust denier. Irving simply reported what he found, and I merely reported what Irving found.”

    “Opinions are Treason.” I’ll just say that if normal free German farmers were eating shoes by the end of the war, what do you think German prisoners were eating? A: Obviously in the pecking order, German prisoners eat first. It would be cruel and unfair any other way. Hitler and the high council eat last, after them.

    It’s of course logical to never discuss ideas to find out if they’re true or not, or whether better ones can be found.

    The Sane vs the Insane.

    • PAC Runs Ads In Muslim-Heavy Michigan Lauding Harris For Israel Support (ZH)

    That’s all they need for any issue: run Kamala’s own words on literally any subject.

    ““Harris belittled us and used her event as a platform to say, ‘You are stuck with me and there is nothing we will do”

    Jimmy Dore covered Ice Cube, who AGAIN said, “They have to GIVE you something.” That’s what voting is about. They just take all votes for granted, they OWN all these black and brown people, who must do what they’re told and get nothing. No. If they WANT your vote, tell me why I should do that. And also not “You should go out and vote” … for nothing… that’s no good unless you can WITHHOLD your vote for them until they shape up. NOT voting can be patriotic, and active, if you’re doing it to a plan.

    ““Musk has co-founded six companies [..] Tesla, which has a market capitalization of $669.28 billion, is expected to hit the trillion dollar mark next year..”
    • Musk Set To Become World’s First Trillionaire (RT)

    I would say that’s clearly a bad thing. Especially as his companies produce things (good) but are run as straight-up scams (bad). So they’re 10x overvalued? 50x?

    And what has Elon provided in services in the market to get there? Not much. He robbed the government in a fascist merger of Corporation and State. Pass. I’m glad he’s not raw evil, but that’s not much consolation and he’d never exist under any moral system.

    “SpaceX will launch its first crewed flights to Mars in four years if its unmanned landings go well,”

    To do what? They said they’d be trapped underground in caves on Mars to avoid deadly radiation that is universal. Yay. “Rats in my sister’s bed and Whitey’s on the Moon.” Word.

    “• CIA, MI6 Chiefs Warn Of Threats To ‘World Order’ (RT)

    It’s All in “Winter Soldier” https://youtu.be/griXa6KUWHE?t=295 (From all scenes, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=griXa6KUWHE)

    This character is written a whole level above anything Marvel ever did. And it’s dead accurate to everything the CIA and other ops believe. Hail Hydra. We will create Perfect ORDER out of Chaos. …By creating the chaos, HELPING it, then Build Back Better. No? Literally that’s the Socialist line here, and they admit it regularly: people aren’t ready to overthrow the government in the Glorious Revolution, so we need to destroy their live to MAKE them ready.

    WHENEVER they say “Order” they mean “Hydra.” ALWAYS. Why? Because humans are messy and disorderly, like a beehive. The only way to establish “order” is to kill everyone who disagrees. All the time. All day, all night, forever. Sounds crazy but…and they DO. Country after country, decade after decade.

    So what’s this list? Democracy, that is, Mob Rule. Run and directed by mass media. Or ORDER: Hydra’s rule of an unelected Soviet, an oligarchic council who will TELL you what to do or shoot you.

    Yeah? How about neither. Does neither work for you?

    “but the ideal was never realized and has been in ruins since the so-called “War on Terror” was launched in 2001.”

    Yes, the 30 Year’s War, with Bush NOT being elected into office, with his father the CIA director installing him through a crooked and compromised Supreme Court. Then they had the Reichstag coming out party in 2001, and immediately launched an expansive, preemptive world war on everyone. …As One does, if you’re a Nazi, run the Drug cartels, and whose family ALREADY ran a few coups, against FDR for instance. No, preempting them by 20 years was a good idea. Attacking when no one dreamed and there was no reason is good and really does take everyone by surprise, so they had every advantage possible.

    This was to get Russia, control oil, and have China by the balls, our new coolies. We already had the food. Well, because “George Bush” it was a fail, fail, fail, and fail. But that’s okay, Cheney’s taking another bite at the apple supporting Harris! Who doesn’t want Moar?

    No, China having direct energy lines to Russia means it’s over. The End. 30 Year’s War, or McCain’s promising us a 100 year’s war (yay!!! My heart goes pitter pat) is lost. Because you guys suck Just. That. Much. And everyone on earth hates your guts. I know I do.

    Russia’s off and survived, and now China’s off and survived. They tipped the scales in Africa, who is off and survived. And America is still resisting everywhere.

    Anyway, back to their gambit, the “War on Terror” was always the Reichstag world war of Nazis. On everyone, the “Jungle People”. Which we all said at the time, not hard: Nazi is as Nazi does. The only hard part was getting anyone to believe the obvious. (and it still is. For the love of God, why?)

    “• Erdogan Wants Greater Islamic Alliance To Combat Israeli ‘Expansionism’ (ZH)

    This is one of the biggest things, however, he probably can’t live long enough to get it, as for some reason Turkey moves in Byzantine fashion I’ve never understood. However, this is deadly for Greece, etc in the region. They really will create the Ottoman Empire again, and I don’t know how to stop them if they don’t stop themselves (somewhat likely). ALL the Stans are Turkic. Intelligible languages and outlook. He doesn’t have to technically eat them if the Silk Road flows from 3,000 miles of now-rich Turkic peoples now flow to Ankara and Istanbul. That’s way out in the future, but still.

    You think RUSSIA is hard to control? You ain’t seen nothing. And they’ve literally said they have every intention of taking all the way up to Austria, like before.

    “• Iran’s New President Wants To Move Capital Out Of Tehran (RT)

    Huh. Lot going on here. Strikes me that the main problem is government and centralization. They FORCE all money, all motion, all permission to run through Tehran so they can control it and dictate it all. That’s POWER, and that’s the same as Paris, London, etc… Now back up and imagine France 1750. Paris has always been key, overwhelmingly powerful – so it makes a good example – but you could set up government in any of all cities and centers, because power is distributed, to the people, the countryside, so you can choose most anywhere. How much more Germany in 1750 in comparison?

    So to do this you really need to push POWER and MONEY back to the people, and it will work. If not, it fails. Do you see Tehran giving up all their money flows and pushing power back to the people? Yeah, that’s why when nations move capitals they end up with two white elephants instead of one: no rich guy is going to give up his fiefdom and money flows. Not one. (Or he already wouldn’t be rich, he’d be modest) It’s the RIGHT thing to do, it’s the STRONG thing to do, but they will never do it.

    “• China Bans Foreigners From Adopting Its Children (RT)

    It’s the only way to stop them from being raped, sterilized and amputated. By law. In MN and CA.

    “When Google first started, it was a high-quality search engine, the CIA.” Fixed it. It has ALWAYS been Secret state, was never anything else, in any department, ever. Yahoo and Jeeves was the private engine. But who can complete with infinity money printed and handed out for nothing? That’s Capitalism.

    “The result is that it acquired a monopoly across the entire industry”

    Yup, that’s Capitalism. A government-run entity, which is also a government-approved or even enforced monopoly.

    “The same [monopoly] template repeated over the next ten to fifteen years.”

    That’s odd: I thought the Sherman Anti-Trut law existed. And that’s been how many Presidents and Congresses since then?

    The White House said it was “deeply disturbed” by the death of an American woman who, according to Palestinian officials and witnesses, was shot in the head by Israeli troops during a protest against Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. The White House also called for Israel to investigate her killing, which has caused strong reactions across the international community.
    The US state department confirmed the death of Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi, 26, a volunteer peace activist with the anti-occupation International Solidarity Movement (ISM).

    Erdogan Calls For Greater Islamic Alliance To Combat Israeli ‘Expansionism’ [Dude doesn’t miss a beat.]
    On Saturday Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan issued a blistering speech at an Islamic schools’ association event near Istanbul once again condemning Israel. But this time he ratcheted the rhetoric as the remarks came a day after a Turkish-American woman was shot during a protest by Israeli troops in the West Bank.
    Erdogan essentially called for an Islamic uprising against the Jewish state, saying that a Muslim alliance of countries and populations is needed against what he called “the growing threat of expansionism” from Israel.
    “The only step that will stop Israeli arrogance, Israeli banditry, and Israeli state terrorism is the alliance of Islamic countries,” Erdogan said. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/erdogan-calls-greater-islamic-alliance-combat-israeli-expansionism

    Gilbert Doctorow, Dumb as they come: Scholz and Pistorius on procurement of new missile defense systems
    For well over a year, we have known that Germany’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Annalena Baerbock is a disgrace to the government she serves. The lady is not smart enough to flip hamburgers at McDonalds let alone sit in the federal cabinet and make pronouncements bearing on war and peace. She will never live down her remark that Vladimir Putin must change his course by 360 degrees.
    However, I had always thought of Chancellor Olaf Scholz as a wily fox. Of course, I believed that he is an out and out coward, a sell-out to American interests at the expense of his own nation. His silence on the sabotage of the Nord Stream I pipeline was proof positive. But stupid?
    What he and his Defense Minister Boris Pistorius were saying these past two days on the sidelines of the Ramstein gathering of donors to the Ukrainian war effort leave little doubt that he is also a damned fool.
    I have in mind Scholz’s announcement that Germany will now budget for new procurement of air defense capabilities for itself and will join other European countries in their plans to build what might be called an iron dome, if we may borrow from the Israeli lexicon, to describe an impenetrable screen against incoming airborne attack.
    If such an announcement might have appeared to be patriotic and an investment in the security of his nation, say, a week ago, the events of the past week have trashed all such thoughts. Following the successful Russian missile attacks on Poltava, on Lviv, on Krivoy Rog and on several other towns in Ukraine where there were large concentrations of NATO officers, high level advisers and instructors, the notion that there is any defense whatsoever against Russian hypersonic missiles was disproved beyond any doubt.
    The Russians say that their attack on the communications institute in Poltava, which may have killed 200 and sent to hospital with grievous wounds another 500, was executed with a variant of the Iskander missile, which has a maximum speed of Mach 6.
    If we concede that Poltava may not have enjoyed very good protection from anti-missile defense, the situation was precisely the opposite in Lviv, which was protected by an American Patriot system plus additional systems manufactured in Germany, Italy and elsewhere within NATO. For this hardened target, the Russians used their Kinzhal missile which travels at Mach 10. If this were not enough, they also have the Avangard family of missiles which reach Mach 20. There is absolutely no known air defense which can protect against these missiles now in the Russian arsenal, and we may well assume that by the time the Germans will actually acquire and set up what they now are thinking of buying, the Russians will have still more advanced attack missiles that remain invincible.
    As for the long range nuclear armed missiles that the United States is planning to deliver to Germany in 2026 with the consent of Mr. Scholz, that only has the effect of painting a very big bulls-eye on his country. Moreover, it is a provocation that could prompt a preemptive strike from Russia…
    ..I close with a couple of further observations about what the Russians were doing this week. In Lviv, they not only killed numerous NATO personnel but destroyed a newly arrived train from Poland carrying a large amount of advanced weaponry for Ukraine. By choosing as targets installations in various cities where NATO officers are living, the Kremlin was delivering an unmistakable message to the Alliance, to its main decision maker, the United States, that it has the will and the wherewithal to take on NATO directly wherever and whenever it believes that its ‘red lines’ are being crossed. It may well be that even in Washington this message was received …and understood. To my knowledge, Zelensky’s bleating at Ramstein for permission to use long-range NATO supplied missiles to attack the Russian heartland fell on deaf ears. https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2024/09/07/dumb-as-they-come-scholz-and-pistorius-on-procurement-of-new-missile-defense-systems/

    Trump pledges to scale back use of sanctions
    Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has promised to drastically reduce the use of sanctions by the US if he wins the election in November.
    During an appearance at the Economic Club of New York on Thursday, Trump was asked if he plans to “strengthen or modify” Washington’s economic restrictions on Russia and other countries. “I want to use sanctions as little as possible,” he replied, explaining that there is “a problem” with the extensive reliance on such penalties by the US, because “ultimately it kills your dollar and it kills everything the dollar represents.”
    It is “important” for the dollar to remain the international reserve currency, the former president insisted.
    “If we lost 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. And we cannot let it happen,” he said…
    ..In July, the Washington Post reported that a third of the world’s nations, including 60% of low-income countries, are currently under some form of US sanctions. The sources told the paper that there is chaos at the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), as it can no longer handle the workload of maintaining such a complex web of economic penalties. https://swentr.site/news/603651-trump-sanctions-russia-iran/

    Andrew Korybko, Russia & China’s US-Provoked Payment Problems Caught Most BRICS Enthusiasts By Surprise
    China’s complex economic-financial interdependence with the West places certain restraints on its sovereignty.
    RT published a feature analysis on Friday asking, “Has the US finally succeeded in choking off Russia’s biggest trade lifeline?”, which readers are encouraged to read in full to learn more Russia and China’s US-provoked payment problems. In a nutshell, Chinese banks of all sizes have suddenly started complying with the US’ sanctions out of fear of secondary sanctions, which RT’s financial expert Henry Johnston reminded everyone has also been reported by the domestic Russian media whose articles he cites.
    All of this is shocking for the average BRICS enthusiast who’s been influenced by wishful thinking articles since the start of the special operation into imagining that this group is an anti-Western bloc. They’ve also heard countless times that “the dollar is dead” or is “about to die any day now,” that Russia and China are “allies” who are jointly resisting the West in all respects, and that a new world order has already emerged to replace the previously American-led unipolar one. None of that is true though.
    The dollar remains the world’s reserve currency despite the reputational damage caused by the US’ anti-Russian sanctions, Russia and China are mired in US-provoked payment problems, and multipolarity has yet to fully emerge since the legacy of America’s unipolar system is responsible for the aforesaid. https://korybko.substack.com/p/russia-and-chinas-us-provoked-payment

    (“I dares ya to drop them sanctions!”) Russia sanctions will stay… until US collapses – Medvedev
    “For all his apparent bravado as an ‘outsider,’ Trump is ultimately an establishment insider. Yes, he is an eccentric narcissist, but he is also a pragmatist,” the official, who now serves as deputy chair of the Russian Security Council, said. The former US president understands that sanctions harm the dollar’s role as the international reserve currency, but for him it is still an “insufficient reason to stage a revolution in the US and go against the anti-Russian line of the notorious Deep State, which is much stronger than any Trump,” Medvedev argued… “So, it is sanctions forever. Or rather, until the US collapses during an imminent new civil war. After all, Hollywood makes films about this for a reason,” Medvedev wrote.
    He appeared to be referencing the recent ‘Civil War’ movie directed by Alex Garland, which tells the story of a team of war reporters traveling across America to interview the president amid fighting between the federal government and a Texas- and California-led secessionist movement. https://swentr.site/russia/603654-sanctions-trump-harris-medvedev/

    President Trump will END Kamala Harris’s anti-energy crusade by implementing a policy of abundance, independence, and dominance — and cutting energy prices in HALF or more within a year of taking office.
    President Trump will immediately issue a national emergency declaration to achieve a massive increase in domestic energy supply — and blast through every bureaucratic hurdle to issue rapid approvals for new drilling, pipelines, refineries, and power plants and reactors.
    As a result, prices will fall immediately in anticipation of new supply.
    PILLAR TWO: Ending the Green New Deal
    To further defeat inflation, President Trump will terminate the socialist Green New Deal and rescind all unspent funds under the misnamed “Inflation Reduction Act.” President Trump will also immediately end Kamala’s electric vehicle mandate — stopping the waste and saving taxpayers an estimated $1 trillion.
    PILLAR THREE: Cutting Regulations
    In President Trump’s first term, he pledged to cut two existing regulations for each new regulation — and he did far better than that, cutting more than 5.5 regulations for every new regulation. But over the past four years, Kamala has added as much as $6,300/year in new regulatory costs onto the backs of every American family.
    In his second term, President Trump will be even more aggressive in cutting unnecessary and burdensome regulations by eliminating a minimum of TEN old regulations for every one new regulation.
    Moreover, instead of attacking the industries of the future, President Trump will embrace them, making America the world capital for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
    PILLAR FOUR: Prioritizing Efficiency
    In 2022, fraud and improper payments cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars. That’s why, at the suggestion of Elon Musk, President Trump will create a Government Efficiency Commission tasked with conducting a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government — then making recommendations for drastic reforms, which will save taxpayers trillions of dollars, further taming inflation and bringing prices down.
    PILLAR FIVE: Lowering Taxes
    President Trump will bring economic relief by making the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act permanent — and will cut taxes even more by eliminating taxes on tips and seniors’ Social Security benefits.
    President Trump’s plan calls for expanded R&D tax credits, 100% bonus depreciation, expensing for new manufacturing investments, and lowering the business tax rate from 21% to 15% — solely for companies that make their products in America. If a company outsources, offshores, or replaces American workers, not only will they not be eligible for these benefits, they will also pay a tariff when their product comes in from another country.
    PILLAR SIX: Encouraging Domestic Production
    Under President Trump’s leadership, America will encourage domestic production instead of punishing it — and make America the manufacturing superpower of the world once again.
    President Trump will implement a pro-American trade policy that uses tariffs to encourage production here and bring trillions of dollars home. President Trump will ensure the U.S. has a steel industry, an aluminum industry, a manufacturing base, and a defense industrial base.
    PILLAR SEVEN: Affordable Housing
    President Trump will make housing much more affordable. As inflation is tamed, interest rates will fall dramatically — reducing mortgage rates back down to 3% and saving the average homebuyer thousands of dollars per year. President Trump will eliminate regulations that drive up housing costs, with the goal of cutting the cost of new home builds by HALF.
    President Trump will also open up portions of federal land for large-scale housing construction — ultra-low-tax and low-regulation zones — where millions of Americans will take part in settling these safe and beautiful communities.
    PILLAR EIGHT: Investing in National Endeavors
    As President Trump defeats inflation, makes America affordable again, and reignites explosive economic growth, he will create America’s own Sovereign Wealth fund to invest in great national endeavors for the benefit of all Americans.
    This fund will help build extraordinary national development projects — from highways to airports to the transportation infrastructure of the future — while investing in state-of-the-art manufacturing hubs, advanced defense capabilities, cutting-edge medical research, and modern agriculture techniques so we can have safe, healthy, high-quality foods for our families. https://joehoft.com/president-trump-outlines-his-plan-to-make-america-affordable-again/

    German Judge Sentences Soldier to Prison For 6 Months For Refusing COVID Vaccines
    A German newspaper, Berliner Zeitung, reports that Jan Reiners, a Bundeswehr soldier who refused COVID vaccinations, was imprisoned on July 12, 2024.
    Despite the fact the vaccine mandate has ended, Reiners will stay in prison for at least six months and is also expected to pay a thousands of euros in fines. https://thepeoplesvoice.tv/german-judge-sentences-soldier-to-prison-for-6-months-for-refusing-covid-vaccines/

    ​ CDC Director Dismisses Link Between COVID Vaccine Rollout and Global Death Surge as Coincidence
    Covid-19 mRNA vaccines are not to blame for the sudden and unexpected death surge among vaccinated people in the wake of the vaccine roll out, according to CDC Director Mandy Cohen.
    ​ According to Cohen, vaccines can be dismissed as a possible cause of the rise in sudden and unexpected deaths, instead claiming that “80% of American adults have an underlying health issue.”
    ​ During a press briefing last week, Cohen declared that her two children, aged 10 and 12 years, will be receiving the new boosters, as she sought to convince the public that Covid vaccines remain safe, efficient and vital for public health in 2024.​ https://thepeoplesvoice.tv/cdc-director-dismisses-link-between-covid-vaccine-rollout-and-global-death-surge-as-coincidence/

    ​ Study Links Covid mRNA Shots to Blood Cancer Surge
    ​ The team of researchers led by Zhentao Cui and Juan Cheng, both with Lanzhou University First Hospital in China’s Gansu province, conducted a study to identify the source of the recent surge in the once-rare blood cancer.
    ​ As cases of lymphoma have skyrocketed since Covid mRNA injections were rolled out for public use in early 2021, the study sought to examine where the “vaccines” had played a role in the spike.
    During their study, the two researchers tapped into and analyzed five key databases from major medical journals and government data…
    ​..The study identified 143 cases of post-Covid mRNA vaccination lymphoma.
    Cui and Cheng note this number is inclusive of 11 cases from 9 articles and 132 cases of vaccine adverse events.
    Applying the authors’ systemic analysis reveals out of the cases, 53.8% were female, with a median age of onset at 62 years.
    They note that blood cancer cases were reported in patients aged between 9 and 99 years old.
    ​ The study found lymphoma was only associated with mRNA shots, and not other vaccines targeting COVID-19.
    Of the total cases of lymphoma analyzed during the study, 51.7% of the patients had received a Pfizer mRNA injection.
    Moderna’s Covid mRNA shot was associated with 42.7% of the total cases.
    Of those incidences of lymphoma, 45.7% of the affected patients developed the condition within 30 days of mRNA “vaccine” administration.​ https://slaynews.com/news/study-links-covid-mrna-shots-blood-cancer-surge/

    D let’s not forget Sketch Up as part of the Google stable.

    Sketch Up and the Autodesk accquisition of modeling programs were all initiated in the same time frame. During the time users were perfecting the use of these programs and doing the trouble shooting and developing work arounds for the short comings of the coding perpetual licensing and subscription upgrades were the norm. Once the programs reached a satisfactory level of development perpetual licensing was abolished and subscription based uprgrades ended. Now use of the programs is limited to subscription only and those who had purchased perpetual licenses no longer have an avenue to upgrades, they are frozen in time. Infrastructure and building modeling is here and the cost/use has become limited to organizations, individuals are financially unable to access the platforms due to cost. Digital modeling is not the future it is the present.

    The GPS data collection service has been refined and GIS, Geographical Information Systems, are now reaching maturity. The earth’s surface has been digitized and the data is now available at various levels of resolution from govenment and private sources. GIS programs have the ability to organize vector and raster data in layers that make visualiztion of all facets of human activity on the earth possible. There is an organization many have not heard of that is the dominant player in GIS. Everyone should learn the accronym ESRI and understand how their platforms are being used globally. ESRI = Environmental Systems Research Institute. Everyone who reads here should go to the website of their local governmental unit and browse the GIS page. What you will find will in most cases be powered by the ESRI platform.
    You have no idea how much is known about you, or how that information, not data, is being used.

    The bright spot in all of this a platform that is open source and available world wide, QGIS. Every human being has access to one of the most powerful GIS platforms available. Every human being should learn some aspect of GIS so they can understand the degree to which control mechanisms are imbedded in the gobal community.

    The USGS, United States Geological Survey, has now gone to the digital format and paper mapping and information is now part of a historical archive. The USGS delivers digital imagery and topological data in a range of formats from several servers. The availability of this information is one of the last vestiges of we the people in The United States.
    The US Census Bureau also has the ability to deliver information in formats that can be used in GIS systems.
    The advanced data base queries and the sophisticated mathematical models provide insights into human activity that is far beyond what the mass of humanity are capable of imagining. Those who focus only on the political and economic realms as presented to them on the mediums familiar to them, including the user interfaces most believer to be computing, are flying at night in a thunderstorm using Visual Flight Rules. Instrument Flight Rules are necessary to navigate at this point in time.

    What you don’t know will not only injure you, it will kill you. If you are lucky and having a good day it will just fuck you up. The violence at the 1968 DNC convention was local, the violence at the 2024 DNC convention was national. Digital modeling and GIS are the flight rules being used to navigate your reality. Stop believing some you have access to the information being used against you and learn to access that information yourself.

    BOMBSHELL BREAKTHROUGH! 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.

    Come 1963, two years after the Bay of Pigs, the frustration and anger was to reach a boiling point. All the money and resources, time and energy, personnel and training that were marshaled toward assassinating Fidel Castro were simply redirected toward assassinating President Kennedy. Even the assassination training camps owned by Mike McLaney in Lacombe, Louisiana were teeming with angry Cuban exiles, mafia hit men and rogue CIA agents. Trigger-happy is the only way to describe the combustible atmosphere, and the Kennedys became the target.

    For these, and other reasons, Bobby Kennedy chose Lee Harvey Oswald — as an ultra-secret, supra-classified counterintelligence asset to infiltrate the CIA-Cuban-Mafia movement. In that capacity, Oswald literally functioned as a one-man domestic counterintelligence operation. Because he was born in New Orleans he knew well the lay of the land there. He also lived in Dallas upon his return from the USSR since his mother and brother had moved there. However, it was his lifelong affinity to socialism and communism which made him a natural fit for the mission that RFK had in mind.

    Because Oswald had a longstanding interest in communism, he defected to the USSR at a very young age just before turning 20.

    Executive Summary

    Control

    Make America Great Again.
    Majority rules. control over the presidency.

    Democracy in USA, with freedom and liberty, has always resulted in death and destruction to the citizens of the people of other countries.

    Immigration

    This will open the doors to many more scores of millions of people to enter the U.S. in numbers that are certain to destabilize American society, economy, and politics and forever change the country. (Censorship, hyperinflation, devaluation of the dollar.)
    Americans will find that the world will be very different, very quickly, and for a very long time.

    facts and truth are objectionable.

    We have reached the point where almost anything said or written is hate speech, racist, misogynist, a threat to democracy, offensive, insensitive, anti-semitic, or Russian propaganda.

    prev. thread. zerosum, thx, yes. The K. Harris site is simply begging for money…

    Performers sell tickets, then offer a ‘show’ with singing, acting, jumping about, music, fireworks, etc., K. Harris is selling what? Obama’s hopiness was bad enough, this is the PITS.

    Her word-salad delusional garbled nonsense is worse than Biden’s angry confused hateful BS, at least with Biden one can guess what is behind it all – on some occasions – ..

    I posted before about the end of the pretense of Two Parties Opposing Each Other in the USA. (> first article at top post.) That is now finito, and all showiness of offering ppl a ‘management team’ who has ‘the best interests of US citizens’ at heart, in way D as opposed to way R, is fantasy, all that is left of the shreds of the pretense at ‘democracy’ is a kind of cult-like ambiance, love her / him, support her / him, etc.

    On: China bans foreignors from adopting its children (at top post), link:

    https://swentr.site/news/603688-china-children-adoption-foreigners-ban/

    Russia stopped international adoptions of its children (Russki babies, kiddos were v. popular in the US as they are mostly ‘white’ and ‘cute’..) in 2012.

    On January 1st, 2012 Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia, signed through the Russian Parliament a law that stated that people foreign to Russia were no longer allowed to adopt Russian children. No one knows the real reason why the Russian Parliament made this decision….

    Russia Bans Foreign Adoption

    Jan 2013. Specifically mentions US citizens.

    — Russian Federal law No 272-FZ remains in place banning the adoption of Russian children by U.S. citizens. —

    https://ru.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/child-family-matters/adoption/

    ‘Reuters Investigates’ published a report in 2013, a must read, imho only scratched the surface.

    It was read world-wide, alarmed many. Basically, it lifts part of the veil of what happens to adopted – ‘sent away’ – and other – children in the USA.

    Title: The Child Exchange. Inside America’s underground market for adopted children.

    https://www.reuters.com/investigates/adoption/#article/part1

    It includes for ex. A look at the kids offered on a Yahoo group.

    Why, how Reuters came to publish this, after at least some investigation, Idk.

    The guys who are running this lunatic asylum are communicating symbolically with each other using a language which you personally haven’t the smallest chance of ever understanding or speaking. This ultra-secure network is in plain sight, but you can’t see it because you don’t understand the language well enough to even recognize it as a language. In comparison, consider a dog sitting at Einstein’s feet listening to Albert and his wife work out the details of the Special Theory of Relativity which was so crucially necessary to producing the controlled nuclear fission reaction used in the atomic bomb. Which of those three creatures do you think we are most comparable to?

    Industrial espionage, with a garnish of blackmail, nestled in the picturesque Utah desert.

    I have almost the entire Sierra Nevada (from CA-108 south) in USGS 15′ quadrangle maps on paper. I have maybe 1/3 of that duplicated in 7.5′ quads. At least 2 people I know had 1° plastic relief maps with contours, etc.

    I was subjected to no small amount of network news this weekend. Helping my mom up north with furniture, and preparing for wife and I to follow. Mom wanted the company, so I mostly ignored the screen. Lots of the same and worse, but one very odd story about a pet medicine ‘…that can extend the life of your dog by 10 years!’ For a five minute segment, they gave almost no detail about what condition would be treated, nor what the effect of the medicine was supposed to be. They kept showing some guy’s morbidly obese corgie. Near the end, I suddenly hear something about starvation, like some pet owners were crash-dieting their pets. It then came out rather slyly that the medicine might be inducing ketosis. So…medicine to try to fix a dog that you stupidly overfed literally to death. Hmmm…

    Every morning I get up and take a hammer to my head.
    Malevolence is everywhere, it seems.
    An endless stream of articles say “they” prefer us dead-
    The future will make nightmares out of dreams.

    So why do I still read them? What purpose does it serve?
    Are doom and gloom the methods that they use?
    And if it’s time to face them, I ask: do I have the nerve?
    Or is hopelessness their method to defuse?

    Some say the curse of being born in interesting times,
    Can actually be a test of someone’s mettle.
    It’s true I’d rather be retired in gentler, sweeter climes-
    But there are many scores I wish to settle.

    “Vengeance- it is mine” so says the Lord; but then I ask, Who handed me this sword?
    With their weaponry of silence they will force the world to violence:
    The justice seekers will not be ignored.
