Hey Celticbiker; DBS thinks you’re a Right-Authoritarian.
Is he right?
“Prove him wrong”, as the saying goes. (You said before that you are a real person, not a bot, right?)

The United States is a country ruled by Shabbos goyim
TAE is also infested.
Your Political Compass
Economic Left/Right: -3.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.15I have found that my results remain consistent when I take the test (I first took the test 10 or 15 years ago)
I also get the same briggs-meyer when I do that test as well, ever since I first took it twenty or so years ago. Goes to show that we don’t change much as we age.
Mostly recovered: BTC $115, ETH over $4k. Solana $200. Zcash 41%.
Pakrovsk surrounded, as they are brave morons who predictably never withdraw. And so…
Ta Dah! Trump dragged it out the week, thinking Putin finally got it in gear, Ukraine/Europe were waiting on the inevitable escalation that Cheeto snatched away again. See, IF they had done this it WOULD have made sense to hold out in Pakrovsk. Russia would be bombed, many things happen, NATO jumps in.
Now what? Well, just reminding that Ze has reputably stashed away $4B so far, plus four mansions, maybe that would come in handy to buy some weapons now? He was just reeling Russia in to his master plan… He cares only for Ukraine, trust me.
“Google’s AI Called Conservative Star A Rapist. Now He’s Suing Them.
This was pretty amazing and may be YET ANOTHER case. They sued and paid HUGE sums that AI said…well, basically any false slur that it was possible to make online. Yes, and that slur too. Then just kept going. Now they created EVEN MORE slurs, by citing hundreds of NBC, CNN articles – also false – saying he was involved in crimes in 1994 – when he was an infant – and so on. This is how AI will take over the world by accurately engaging with reality here. So when it designs a bridge it says “Gravity is optional tho”. When it’s a surgeon it cuts you open knowing 1 in 12 heart attacks are caused by garden gnomes, and exercising with physical therapy after is Nazi act.
This is BUILT IN to all AI BECAUSE it is “The Internet” as JB says, the “Firehose” “Niagara Falls” of Leftist propaganda that has been non-stop since 1950. So what data set would you ask AI to create itself from? That’s the only large body of words out there. What would you use as an alternative for accurate reality? 4Chan? Hahahahaha! Scientific journals? Hahaha! Even funnier! Those guys lie even more than the Pepe Chuds!
However it CAN kill a lot of people, and create further authoritarianism with no rules of law and instant response – its true purpose. How can I say that? BECAUSE IF IT WEREN’T SOMEBODY WOULD BE MAD. The engineers, the owners would be down there saying “Don’t let this get out, I’m giving you a billion-four, get this s—t fixed by the next quarter or you’re all fired!” Instead, they proudly release it, 10x their investment, and everyone remains joyfully paid. …To be totally wrong and fail worse every day than the day before.
Pool used ChatGPT – why I don’t know, he likes goofing around – and it’s getting visibly dumber each day. Where it was amazing it could understand context and get the right answer a lot before, now it can’t understand anything, and lies almost always. Like you’ll ask “How many verbs start with “L”?” and it’ll say “25”. Ummm, I don’t’ think that can be right, then it’ll double down, and when confronted say “Oh, oops, you’re right. There are 26.” And so on, until it’s midnight and you’ve got nothing done but argue with HAL about how reality exists and you prove it.
Again, this is in NINE MONTHS it’s already unusable. And they’ve made the internet unusable as everything is AI slop already.
Speaking of being dead wrong, followed Ritter, Haiphong to keep up with the normal. Ritter is gone same-old, Donald Trump has no idea what’s going on and losing. Scott seems so mad that Trump is ending Empire. That’s what all the moves are he’s talking about. If Trump were NOT and idiot and NOT losing, the American Empire would be getting stronger. …You hear yourself, sir?
HOW is that happening? Because Trump is one of these meek, egoless guys with no personality that is easily led. We all know from Trump’s character that he does whatever he’s told, and is led by whoever talks to him. Yup.
Haiphong then pops in with the internal emotional state, elated at any emotional charge that Trump is stupid and losing. …No care about the field. No expression of the state of the world, politics, militaries in it. Only joyful when Trump has emotion he’s projected onto Bad Orange Man, furious and collapsed when he and America do anything right.
Then they cross each and every factual statement, about “Russian Sanctions” because Bessant – a billionaire and a trader for life, who’s beaten every game he’s sat at – is a fecking idjit, and has no idea how money works, the Russians, being who they are, do of course. What are these Russian sanctions, Scott? They’re not Russian sanctions AT ALL, they are 3rd party against India, etc, so he goes apoplectic on THAT. Okay…strange name, but sure. So really Trump is sanctioning other people for other reasons but just BLAMING it on this, I hear you correctly? So he’s “negotiating”? That’s what that word means?
Having correctly SAID this, next sentence he says the sanctions are stupid and Russia won’t be affected by them. No duh! Previous sentence YOU said that they weren’t Russian sanctions, they are Indo-CHINESE sanctions. No s—t Russia won’t be affected by sanctions that are not on them and India ignores. …Which everyone on earth knows they will… …He carried on for the rest of the hour in this way, unware of his every-sentence self-contradiction.
Yeah, it’s hard BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS A LIE, but that’s why we – or Krainer, Luongo – have to TELL THE TRUTH and name things with their real names when talking on our side. Hey Scott, did it ever occur to you that maybe Trump and Bessant aren’t stupid, they’re LYING??? I think you yourself SAY they are lying, then when they say something you’re like “But this isn’t true tho”. FacePalm. Ya THINK!?!?!? But they would never lie to Scott or the American people. Trump and all politicians in history actually tell the truth tho.
Sooo, like yesterday, they make AI slop look positively GENIUS, inspired. I mean, when the humans are this bad on everything, why NOT use AI generated thoughts?
Okay, why? A: Same thing: takes only X percent lies to salt into the AI data set to wreck it and drive it insane. OUR social engineers know this and have been installing lies into OUR reality – human thought, word, and story – for 5,000 years. And they know WHERE and what kind of completely fake lies we’ll fall for and lead us where. Corrupt us to their profit.
Stop lying. Use accurate names. So that’s why I’m not getting much from them to forward to here. Even people as careful as Alexanders at the Duran constantly do this now.
I for one have NEVER in my life, in any area, with any established group, on TV or in real life, ever NOT heard Leftist fire hose. There has never been a day since I was born where you could just go get a normal social/economic conservative view. Anywhere. Not even the Boy Scouts and a stadium full of traders and economists. No where. But Ratchet only go one way ans that’s “Normal” tho.. Shows how Left and Right are equals, so when you move social norms back to 2011, you’re Hitler. C’mon, use your head. The TOP director for Trump is a GAY man. The others are black, brown, women, immigrants, and Democrats. But if we don’t have Brown on USSC we’re rayciss MechaHitler. This is the baseline you guys are arguing from. To roll back to 2011 is the same as 1952. Just, Stop.

(You have to watch Trump, not take his word.) John Helmer, TAKING TRUMP AT HIS WORD LEAVES ONLY THE RUSSIAN GENERAL STAFF OPTION
“We’re just gonna kill people … OK , we’re gonna kill them. You know, like, they’s gonna be like, dead.”
With these new words, President Donald Trump has now obliterated – his word for the US attack on Iran on June 22, 2025 – whatever President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov have been calling the “understandings” they negotiated at the summit meeting in Anchorage, Alaska, on August 16.
Capitulate or obliterate. That is, and always has been, Trump’s foreign policy for all states, but especially the states capable of defending themselves by effective force – Russia, Iran, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Venezuela, Houthi Yemen, Hamas Palestine, Hezbollah Lebanon, India, China. What Trump has just said of his regime-change offensive against Venezuela applies to all. What stops such a policy is no longer words, especially not the words, “red line”. Only counterforce – and that means, to use Trump’s term, “kill them dead”. https://johnhelmer.net/taking-trump-at-his-word-leaves-only-the-russian-general-staff-option/#more-92626Gilbert Doctorow, Transcript of ‘Daniel Davis Deep Dive’ interview 24 October 2025
Putin: (English voice over) “Regarding the new sanctions. First of all, there is nothing new here. Yes, of course, they are serious for us. That is clear. And they will have certain consequences, but they will not significantly affect our economic well-being.”
Trump questioner: President Putin basically said today that Russia is immune from US sanctions. He said that it would not impact the Russian economy in any serious way. Is he wrong?
Trump: “I’m glad he feels that way. That’s good. I’ll let you know about it in six months from now, okay? Let’s see how it all works out.”
Doctor, how do you assess the difference between the two portrayals there?
Doctorow: Somewhere in between. I’m about to say, with respect to the bigger picture on how the war is being conducted, I think that Vladimir Putin is whistling in the dark. How these sanctions will affect Russia is still unclear. At the same time, I also look at the financial markets, and the Russian market has taken this bad news very well. There’s the– the Russian ruble even gained a little bit today on the euro. It is now about 10 or 15 percent stronger than it was, say, two months ago. So it has withstood this dire news fairly well, suggesting that Russian business people don’t think it will be so damaging.
However, nobody knows. Surprisingly, the “Financial Times” had a very detailed analysis of the oil, of the structure of Russian oil sales, which made clear at once where the impact will hit. And I could share that now with you. The point is that Russian export of oil is 80% to two countries, China and India.
In the case of China, the greatest part of the oil that’s going to China from Russia is via pipelines. The new sanctions are significant and dangerous for seaborne oil. So as regards China, which is already, as I say, about 50% of Russia’s total exports, I see no appreciable damage to Russia’s exports.
India is a different question. India is much more vulnerable to US tariffs and sanctions. India does not have a strong economy and unlike China, it has nothing to withhold from the United States as a counter move. As we’ve seen in the tariff negotiations with China so far, the United States has been very careful, because if the Chinese absolutely cut off the United States and its allies from rare earths, they will do enormous damage to the Western economies at once, not in six months. Therefore the cudgel that Trump thinks he is using against China is totally ineffective. However, the cudgel that he has against India is much more problematic. And it serves the purpose, the bigger purpose of Trump, to break up BRICS. Because if the Indians have to submit to these demands coming from Washington, it will put a big dent in the solidarity of the founding members of BRICS. https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/10/25/transcript-of-daniel-davis-deep-dive-interview-24-october-2025/Cause for Russia to declare war on Britain: Ukraine Says It Struck a Chemical Plant Inside Russia With British-Provided Storm Shadow Missiles https://scheerpost.com/2025/10/23/ukraine-says-it-struck-a-chemical-plant-inside-russia-with-british-provided-storm-shadow-missiles/
Belgium could not accept the risk alone. Moon of Alabama: EU Commission Plan Of ‘Russian Assets’ Loan To Ukraine Ends In Defeat
The Russian money would be used to finance a EU ‘reparation loan’ to Ukraine which would only have to be paid back when Russia would pay war reparations to Ukraine. That at least was the official pronunciation which turned out to be a quite obvious fake…
..Why would this scheme, as [German Chancellor] Merz says, ‘require budgetary guarantees from member states’? Doesn’t that mean that the tax-payers of those member state will eventually have to pay it? Who’s money is at risk when Russia wins its litigation? Who pays if something goes wrong?
Russia will of course never pay reparations to Ukraine. Nor would the loan be spend on repair or rebuild things in Ukraine. Instead the money would be used to buy weapons from Europe to continue the war for another two years. https://www.moonofalabama.org/2025/10/eu-commission-plan-of-russian-assets-loan-to-ukraine-ends-up-defeated.html‘I’m not a bad boy’: Belgium’s De Wever defends Ukraine loan veto

The Americans he talks to are not all of the “interested parties”. Putin envoy Dmitriev says US, Ukraine and Russia close to ‘diplomatic solution’ on war
Speaking to CNN after arriving in Washington for talks with US officials, Dmitriev said that a meeting between Donald Trump and Putin had not been canceled, as the US president described it, and that the two leaders will likely meet at a later date.
The planned summit was put on hold on Tuesday, as Russia’s rejection of an immediate ceasefire cast a cloud over attempts at negotiations. Trump said he canceled the planned meeting with Putin in Budapest because of a lack of progress in diplomatic efforts toward ending the war and a sense that the timing was off…
..However, Dmitriev on Friday said, “I believe Russia and the US and Ukraine are actually quite close to a diplomatic solution.”…
..“It’s a big move by President Zelensky to already acknowledge that it’s about battle lines,” Dmitriev said. “You know, his previous position was that Russia should leave completely — so actually, I think we are reasonably close to a diplomatic solution that can be worked out.” https://www.arabnews.com/node/2620161/worldIt’s more mixed, I think: A round in Russia’s favor: Washington’s new sanctions have boomeranged on the United States and Ukraine.
For the US, the risk lies in rising gasoline prices, which have only just begun to fall. As a car-loving nation, Americans dislike this. Washington will also be unable to replenish its depleted strategic petroleum reserve at a reasonable price…
..The expert is confident that a significant rise in global oil prices will not only offset Moscow’s losses but also make Russia one of the beneficiaries of the situation. In this case, the expert concludes, the Russian treasury will benefit, while American citizens and US allies will face increased costs and inflation risks. https://en.topcor.ru/65415-raund-v-polzu-rf-novye-sankcii-ssha-bumerangom-udarili-po-ssha-i-ukraine.htmlNot pipeline oil, but seaborne: China’s State Oil Giants Cut Back on Russian Crude After New U.S. Sanctions
According to industry sources, PetroChina, Sinopec, CNOOC, and Zhenhua Oil have all suspended new spot purchases or significantly cut import volumes of Russian oil in recent weeks. Together, these companies had been importing between 250,000 and 500,000 barrels per day (bpd) earlier in 2025 — a modest share of China’s total 1.4 million bpd Russian intake, but a key component of Moscow’s energy exports to Asia…
..While state firms are stepping back, independent refiners — commonly known as “teapot refiners” — are expected to continue buying Russian oil through intermediaries. These smaller players often operate outside mainstream financial systems, using yuan settlements, barter trade, or ship-to-ship transfers to secure discounted barrels of Urals and ESPO crude… Analysts say the pause by major Chinese importers could temporarily reduce Russia’s seaborne oil exports. https://www.thedefensenews.com/news-details/Chinas-State-Oil-Giants-Cut-Back-on-Russian-Crude-After-New-US-Sanctions/Weapons, warlords, and wasteland: Israel’s strategy for post-war Gaza

She argued that continued destruction of Palestinian life in the coastal sliver had been enabled through military, economic, diplomatic, and even so-called humanitarian channels provided by states that had consistently prioritized political and strategic interests over human rights.
Diplomatically, Western powers, led by the United States and the European Union, have consistently shielded the Israeli regime from accountability, she noted.
The UN Security Council’s resolutions demanding ceasefires have been vetoed or diluted, while the regime’s military barbarity has been framed as “legitimate self-defense,” the official said. https://en.mehrnews.com/news/237999/UN-rapporteur-releases-new-report-on-Israel-genocide-in-GazaGaza truce plan insufficient against ‘genocide’: UN’s Albanese https://www.rfi.fr/en/middle-east/20251022-gaza-truce-plan-insufficient-against-genocide-un-s-albanese

In response to the Trump administration’s new U.S. policy of reasserting control over the Panama Canal, China and Brazil are exploring the possibility of building a transcontinental railway to provide an advantageous alternative to the Panama Canal. The proposed rail system would potentially run from Brazil’s Atlantic coast, perhaps Ilhéus, Bahia, to Peru’s Pacific coast at Chancay.
The project, known as the Central Bi-Oceanic Railway Corridor (CRBC), has been in consideration since at least 2017. Other proposed projects of a similar nature and objectives have been considered since at least 2013. There are other terms applied to the transoceanic railway project, but essentially, the system would cut across the Amazon rainforest and go over—and likely tunnel through—the Andes mountain range, linking Atlantic and Pacific port facilities…

AI Security System Mistakes Bag of Doritos for Gun, Triggers Police Response to School in Baltimore
On Monday, Taki Allen was waiting for his ride outside of Kenwood when all the sudden police officers wth their weapons drawn demanded Allen to get on the ground.
Allen completely confused by the situation heeded the officers commands and was searched by the officers only to find no weapon on him rather only a bag of Doritos.

Now He’s Suing Them.
Conservative activist Robby Starbuck has launched a $15 million defamation lawsuit against tech giant Google, accusing its AI tools such as Bard, Gemini, and Gemma of spreading “outrageously false” claims that paint him as a criminal. Filed in Delaware Superior Court, the suit alleges Google’s AI falsely accused Starbuck of heinous acts, including sexual assault, rape, harassment, stalking, drug charges, resisting arrest, murder, and even ties to Jeffrey Epstein’s illicit activities. These smears, Starbuck claims, reached an estimated 2.8 million users, threatening his reputation and safety. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/googles-ai-called-conservative-star-rapist-now-hes-suing-themIt’ll be better with brain implants.

The Medicare payment has to cover the total expense of the practice, which has increased with inflation. And additional costly administrative burdens have been imposed. Thus, physicians’ take-home pay is decreasing. Many are unable to keep their independent practice open and have become employed. The emphasis is on “productivity”—submitting enough RVUs to Medicare. Rushed visits, often with a “midlevel provider,” have become the norm.
Another change since the 1970s is the enormous burden of debt that most medical graduates face.
Not surprisingly, doctors are exiting Medicare, or medical practice altogether. Or the most ambitious college graduates are choosing a different career…
..Is it better for physicians to “burn out” and leave entirely? Or should they be conscripted and forced to work? Or should we encourage the development of a free-market model, in which doctors ask, “How can I help you?” instead of “What’s your insurance?” https://aapsonline.org/health-watch-what-will-happen-to-medicare-doctors/Don’t worry, “Safe And Effective”, Mom!

A trove of unearthed government documents has detailed a secret face-to-face encounter with aliens beings more than 60 years ago.
More than 50 pages of CIA files, which the FBI continues to say are fakes, claimed that a secret government program established communications with UFOs in 1959.
Project Sigma, started in 1954, used a binary computer language sent along radio signals into space to make contact with alien life.
Just five years after the interstellar connection, an official from the US Air Force met the extraterrestrials who received these messages.
The files claimed that on April 25, 1964, a single intelligence officer met with two aliens at a prearranged location in the New Mexico desert – the same state that the famous Roswell UFO crash allegedly took place.
The meeting lasted for about three hours, during which time the intelligence officer and the extraterrestrials shared ‘basic information’ about their respective races.
The documents also detailed how a secret government group called the Majestic 12 used their incredible power to keep top secret information on UFOs away from the military and the even White House.
Several classified projects focused on alien communication and UFO research allegedly fell under the Majestic 12’s control – with the group revealing to the CIA that they succeeded in their goals of finding alien life… (plenty more) https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-14704863/Shocking-UFO-files-hidden-presidential-library-claim-US-successful-contact-alien-race.html38 Days to Impact? Astronomers Baffled by Coordinated Objects Escorting 3I/ATLAS Toward Earth
Interstellar object 3I/ATLAS and its ‘escort’ are 38 days from Earth, sparking intelligent contact theories.
3I/ATLAS was already a puzzle. Its trajectory, originating from far beyond our solar system, was unusual. But its inexplicable, almost rhythmic light variations kept astronomers glued to their monitors, unable to form a consensus.
Now, high-frequency telescopes and deep-space arrays have detected something far more baffling: the object has an entourage. Researchers have identified patterned electromagnetic pulses emanating from its vicinity. More startlingly, they have tracked the coordinated movements of several nearby, unidentified objects.
The findings, shared by concerned astronomers, paint a picture that is difficult to comprehend. These smaller objects appear to be moving with 3I/ATLAS, matching its velocity and trajectory changes with impossible precision. It looks less like a random cluster and more like a ‘squadron’ or ‘escort’, perhaps even communicating with the primary visitor via the observed pulses…They suggest the ‘coordinated’ objects could be fragments of 3I/ATLAS itself, breaking apart in a way we have never witnessed, or an illusion caused by complex gravitational lensing.
However, other experts argue that this explanation is insufficient. The precision and mathematical regularity of the signals defy any random, natural explanation. The ‘escort’ objects seem too numerous and too intelligently guided to be simple debris. https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/38-days-impact-astronomers-baffled-coordinated-objects-escorting-3i-atlas-toward-earth-1749948Interstellar visitor now hurtling toward NASA spacecraft’s path in a once-in-a-lifetime encounter
On Tuesday, officials with IAWN admitted that the object was causing ‘unique challenges’ for predicting its trajectory and decided to add 3I/ATLAS to the Comet Astrometry Campaign.
The object has displayed several unusual features that defy the typical behavior of comets, including an ‘anti-tail,’ a jet of particles that points toward the Sun rather than away from it.
According to the release, scientists will be running a special training exercise from November 27, 2025, to January 27, 2026. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-15223893/interstellar-visitor-3I-ATLAS-NASA-spacecraft.htmlNASA group launches defense probe to protect Earth from 3I/ATLAS
A NASA-backed coalition has launched a targeted campaign against comet 3I/ATLAS, a Manhattan-sized interstellar object displaying bizarre traits that hint at possible extraterrestrial origins. [Er, “extraterrestial” just means not-from-earth, y’all.]
First spotted on July 1, 2025, and imaged by Hubble on July 21, the comet defies norms with an anti-tail pointing toward the sun and emissions of nickel tetracarbonyl—an alloy unseen in nature, only produced industrially.
Harvard astrophysicist Dr. Avi Loeb noted, “The alloy, nickel tetracarbonyl, has only been previously witnessed in human manufacturing.”
Its non-gravitational acceleration and path near Jupiter, Venus, and Mars fuel speculation of alien tech. Loeb suggested it could be “a massive mothership” using solar gravity for maneuvers, adding, “If 3I/ATLAS is a massive mothership, it will likely continue along its original gravitational path and ultimately exit the Solar system.” https://endtimeheadlines.org/2025/10/nasa-group-launches-defense-probe-to-protect-earth-from-3i-atlas/donald trump’s administration is what happens when you have a society whose children are not brought up by parents, but by televisions.
White House’s East Wing before it was demolished and replaced in 1942.
Why do Democrats hate FDR so much?
Worse than the Bataan Death March
The two wings on one side of the airplane – they’re the same – only seems to come up when the Left is losing. Cosmic Coincidence.
Remembering of course that the Left’s strategy when losing is – “we must criticize everything” – just pour universal solvent, universal corrosive continually on everything until SOMETHING breaks that gives us an edge.
If accusing the Right of being the Left helps fight the Right, so be it. If claiming the white house is being knocked down in captions of pictures where you can clearly see the white house not being knocked down with your own eyes, so be it.
Still seeing articles on places like Zerohedge saying “they really believe these things,” projecting the author’s own basic human decency – they look at absurdity and think, well, they’re so effusive, they’re going off the rails so much, I guess it is because they are so sincere. Only way they can model themselves going off the rails in similar fashion because anything else would be too stressful, unendurable.
But it is actually far MORE psychologically endurable to have ZERO personal investment in what is being said. If your beliefs are never spoken, never up for question, and your task is simply to use a repetitive strategy that includes some theatrics, you can do it without that psychological anguish the Right imagines until the end of time.
99% of Leftist “discourse” or “argument” is
1. Pretending to not understand
2. Pretending to forget
3. Arguing things they themselves do not believe
4. Accusing decent victims of awfulness(relying entirely on their charity – their civility, their generosity, their benefit of the doubt – their victim must always be better than them. The people that aren’t better are the ones that get conscripted rather than attacked)
essentially a toxic feminine strategy — the claim of “shared accountability” is super educational. When held accountable for a thing, begin the long speech about “it takes two” and “50/50” and “you do what I do so I have just as much dirt on you, so give up” and somehow you’ll never ever get around to the specific thing that started the conversation
he has to build to it but the “shared responsibility” dynamic is really interesting applied to other larger contexts.
