    Not for lack of Aspnaz trying. But Mossad has monthly bonuses, so he has to try.

    “What’s The Real Reason Why The Economist Wants Europe To Spend $400 Billion More On Ukraine?

    …Because the European financial system will implode without it. That’s it. Hey, remember a few years ago when they said they needed $100 Trillion in cash and we can do this the easy way or the hard way? Yeah, like that. What was the excuse back then? Furbles? Climate? Some s—t I don’t remember, not making clean water and power plants, that’s for sure.

    Mamdani double-crosses all his Socialist promises already. Hahahaha! Of COURSE he did. But man, I thought that would take longer and he wasn’t just going to SAY so. I actually appreciate that. Nevertheless, the Fire Chief quit and everyone’s fleeing, so everyone (the poor) will die as they’re locked in the collapsing husk.

    Again, nothing on earth could be better for Republicans.

    “Zohran Mamdani announces all-female transition team as he prepares for New York mayoralty”

    We’re all going to die.

    “Russian Drone incursions Rattle Europe. Poland, Romania Respond” ABC

    Should be cut out and framed as a masterclass on Lying in the 2020s. Russia is sending drones in a known war. To that country. And has never been caught with anything in “Europe”. At all. News at 11. Thanks ABC. Putting the “Hate” in “You don’t hate the media enough.”

    “Putin’s Nukes STUN Trump” – Haiphong. This is why I can’t even bring myself to click him anymore. Just fact-free emotion on Trump’s internal, emotional state. Almost always wrong if you scroll back and click from 2-4 weeks ago. Weren’t we supposed to have invaded Venezuela and collapsed already? Started a war with China instead of settling trade instead? 1,000 Tomahawks were raining down on Moscow? No court cases had preceded against any upper officials like Comey and Boasberg? Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, and easily so.

    And there are only a few guys right. Haiphong means well but he needs to take a step back and wonder why his guests and advice are slop. (Clue: You’re being USED, kid. People like Wolffe exist and are backed by the Black Hats to salt and mislead you. Sorry.)

    “Trump in deep trouble, Pepe” –Haiphong. Internal emotional state of Trump. And Pepe has also been wrong but gleeful about it. When will he notice?

    USSC Tariffs. Probably illegal. I agree, as I’ve said several times. There’s no need to lie about me for it. “We make S–t Up!” But my bet is they have some end-run or they wouldn’t have bothered, and and USSC keeps handing them wins that look like arcane procedural issues like Chevron. You can’t “Just say” tariffs without Congress. But then Congress comes in session and all Trump’s negotiations are affirmed into law. Done.

    Do it the other way: they KNOW they will prevent, stall, slow walk everything as the Derp State has for 100 years, illegally and treasonously preventing every elected official. So shutting Congress was a no-brainer. That would have put Trump back 6 months. Doing it this way – Acting, then asking permission – gets it done. And that’s only one possible strategy for this. But you seem to think if they roll it back it becomes 1999 again. No. Trump ALREADY did this, so we know it’s ALREADY possible. Now Congress is going to raise taxes when all the American people saw we could tariff instead and no income tax for everyone under $200k? No. The case has been proven.

    Again, “Internal Emotional state of Trump”. They are so elated to have Trump fail, that they would have crushing taxes on the poor, and keep us colonized by bankers, just so he could be wrong. Are you High? Or just really stupid?

    Just have Congress stamp his Tariff agreements. 30 minutes, done. Then it’s legal.

    “right D? Capitalism über alles!”

    Heil Stalin. So you are now full Soviet Socialist now? Which is contrary to and incompatable with all things America including the Constitution? I thought you swore an oath, sir. Or do you reverse your sworn loyalties so easily?

    “how long it will take the people to realise that left versus right is irrelevant, the real war is rich versus poor,”

    Everyone already realizes this.

    The conservatives would not raise this issue [of women working, esp for the oligarchy]”

    Conservatives were the only ones who ever did raise this issue and fight it. You might remember since it’s been 50 years of only them, non stop? And they’ve taken endless knocks for it, savaged ceaselessly while being proved right, year after year, decade after decade, yet won’t stop because they do it for principles? Ring any bells? The utter destruction of women in every category certainly doesn’t bother Feminists or the Left any. “We make s–t up!” I thought it right here in my head so it must be true! The Earth orbits the moon!

    “Burevestnik has surpassed all other known missiles in the world in terms of range.”

    Yes, it could arguably fly to Mars. The point is well-taken that this “reactor” is so utterly different that it can start in a second, can cool itself, and produce incredible power. Everyone remains fuzzy on how “Energy” (which is dozens of different things) translates into “Thrust” as it has no chemical component. Ions I bet but haven’t looked it up. It’s deeply disturbing everyone handwaves, doesn’t look, and don’t realize it’s not underpants gnomes that make your car go. I’m busy, it’s enough for me to see it flying and not read dumb theories.

    So yes, the real magic is that these are pocket-sized instant reactors, probably with liquid metal cooling, which can almost certainly be put to use in every other place in the universe.

    This is what happens when you DON’T sideline your Science and inquiry on purpose for 100 years since Einstein. As – who was that guy? Brett Weisenstein? — has been doing the tours, saying. That takes a Free Country. Russia is almost the only free country right now, that can ask questions without sabotage and interference.

    Thank God we’re their ally. And they can capture NATO generals in Pokrovsk and interrogate them good and hard.

    “how long it will take the people to realise that left versus right is irrelevant, the real war is rich versus poor,”
    Everyone already realizes this. …The whole point of POWER is to make it very difficult to decide what to DO about it. They, we, are all circling them constantly looking for an opening. They, on the other hand, want violence and an attack, “Burn it all” antisemitism, etc, so they can have mass violence in which evil, wealthy men of course prosper most and are most comfortable in, while the most poor and good people die. We are not letting them, but then the game board looks like this instead, with frustrating, incremental gains.

    In that condition, why no Mad Max? Because we’ve taken deep, foundational steps to build out the new system. We have cryptos. Many are alert to money and decades more sales of metals, which have now 10x from $400. A generation now has seen what is planned for them and rejects it. Even Socialism is rejected soundly, not by Millennials, but by Zoomers and all men. The Race war is off, after having been attempted for 20 years. We can’t just fall back to prepper homesteads, so we’re all in it together to keep the power on, and internet going, which means we have all one goal in controlling surveillance. In the large sense, a great number of bad actors were identified or clocked out like Cheney, and all the wars we know they had planned have all been derailed over and over again. They are slowly being squeezed out, and finally we see some court cases to make it all public.
    Hegseth gets in the Pentagon’s face and they do not go Civil War on him. So Civilian power and control remains. The people now understand personally and emotionally why each Article of the Bill of Rights exists. Almost everyone is hustling, pissed off, and not fat, complacent in a cube-job. So it’s like the 1930s. The few remaining enclaves where no one has to think or have consequences, like Federal Jobs and University, are being wiped out right now so they can share the joy of Gary, Indiana.

    When I started this 20 years ago, none of that was true, most importantly no one would BELIEVE it, even though it was stunningly obvious. Even after the ’99 – 2001 collapse and complete NeoCon NWO takeover not a single person believed it, and all denied there was any Central Bank or 1% housing collapse, as TAE booked the inevitable stories each day for years.
    — And we were MILES from Epstein, Obama, etc, even as Epstein had already come up and was already obvious, well-known by 1999. As was Madoff, Iran-Contra funding, attacking and arming both sides, CIA running Crack with Narcos, and all the rest of it. It took having a whole miniseries on it — several — whole years and years of court cases, 5 more wars, to drill it through the thick normie (American) heads. Which is saying something, since very clearly the REST of the world was far dumber and thicker than we are! Europe still doesn’t believe a word of this WHILE the greatest war in 100 years is killing 2M men and it’s all a joke to them.

    So it’s mostly getting people to BELIEVE and take it seriously that’s most important. We’re most of the way there. After that, acting is simple, as we all agree on what’s going on, it’s easy to negotiate and get consensus on what we should do about it. 80% there.

    Sadly, I would have preferred homesteading back to a 1910 level to anything having to do with robots, Mars, and surveillance state, but what would have happened was really “The Hunger Games” where THEY had all that tech power and we had none, bows and arrows, unlike now where you can crypto, AES256, 3D print military-grade laser guns and Terminator Drones in your basement. That still equalizes power. Fewer people are killed, but more are miserable, while the environment took another 20 years of non-stop attacks. By which I mean paving everything. So I’m mixed on that but it’s not in my control, as a Corporal-level I can only respond to actions on the ground, no one takes orders from me.

    Not for lack of Aspnaz trying. But Mossad has monthly bonuses, so he has to try.

    Dr D is giving me some bad mouth about ….. not sure what. Is he saying I am a Mossad agent, that is why I tell him he is a jerk and the Jews are – can you believe it – even greater jerks? Actually, Dr D does me a favour; I do not read his scribble any more than once a year, unless it contains my search for “aspnaz”, as it did today, there is only so much kindergarten bullshit that an inteliigent person can take before he realises that the person talking to him is trying to manipulate him; Dr D is the best manipulator on this comment section. Me, I am not paid to do this, I do not have the resources of Dr D, I cannot spend my whole day reading shit then reporting on it. I have shit to do; as do all carbon-based commenters on this board. Dr D pretends to think I am being paid by Mossad to insult Jews; sure, that makes sense. You are obviously not a PhD, maybe you got a Lego doctorate? In any case, you are a dumb fuck, but you are obviously paid to post shit on this site. And sure, there are plenty of people on this site stupid enough to believe that shit, people who want good news every day, want to connect with Dr D, people who have no friends and cannot talk to real people, so they hang on every word of Dr D; yeah, I now know what I am dealing with, and it is not pretty.

    Why do people on this board not think for themselves? Why do Americans not think for themselves? Here is a left wing feminist telling you why people are stupid … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxoN4wTrnvs

    You may even begin to understand that you agree with a lot of what she says, but you are too stupid to go find out what the other side thinks for yourself, so here, I am helping you. Dr D, he is just a crap sandwich served to the lazy fuckers on this board who think they are informed, but are sadly douches.

    RIM supported the Israeli starvation of Palestinians in Gaza, who gives a fuck what happened to him, my guess is that he has taken over a Pelestinian’s house in the West Bank. Save your tears for someone who deserves them, not some sellout to Zionism. Haven’t you yet noticed that almost all “alternative media” sites are supporting the Jews or are controlled by them (ZH).

    Ukraine and World Affairs: Weekly Update
    7th November 2025
    Dr. Rob Campbell

    https://robcampbell.substack.com/p/ukraine-and-world-affairs-weekly-8fa

    Israel has abrogated its right to be part of civilized society.

    The international community has failed regarding Gaza.

    The arrival of Oreshnik, Burevestnik and Poseidon.

    Both China and Russia have strategic agreements with Maduro and investments in the country which they will want to protect.

    Trump tried regime change in Iran, is trying regime change in Venezuela currently and may try regime change in Nigeria and elsewhere soon.

    The once great Z, deluded as ever, has announced that the situation in Pokrovsk is stable but Maryana Bezuglaya has called him out for lying.

    Persecution of Christians is a good excuse to oppress or invade other countries. The Nigerian government has rejected the accusations. Note: Nigeria has the fourth richest deposits of crude oil in the world.

    My main aim at the Busker is to produce good work that will provide an account of events that is more truthful than that provided by the legacy media.

    aspnaz in defense of the people and an explanation for the indefensible i offer that the majority of citizens of western culture remain mired in the Newtonian view of a clockwork cosmos. More than a century has passed since Einstein intoduced the theories of relativity and special relativity. Born in 1951, the knowledge base of my education was structured around a standard model of the universe that did not include or adapt to research that altered the understanding of the cosmos. Even when the time for high scool arrived only passing reference was made to the importance of special relativity and no mention was made of research into the possibilitstic and probablilistic nature of reality. The fact that biology had moved beyond Darwin was available only to those courses selected for those determined to be gifted.

    The realization that media could be used to create and control perspective was coming to the forefront of the economic engine and the hands on the levers of that engine. Indeed media was able to convince the consumers of media that No Choice is the only choice. The only choice was to accept uniformity and acquiescence to an advertising generated model of society and culture. That model is very near perfection at this moment. The perception of the consumer of media has been successfuly modeled. There is no need to acquire information that does not conform to the modeled reality and that reality was encapsulated in Upton Sinclair’s famous quote concerning understanding.

    Now to the present moment. The concept that all possiblities exist simultaneously and are sorted by probability and only upon observation is the reality created is foriegn to those who have the Newtonian model of the cosmos as their base of observation. That base of observation is maintained lock, stock and barrel by the media industry financed by the financial organization of the economy. In conversation with peers the modern researched advances in astronomy and physics are seen to be almost nonexistant. In defense of my peers there is no adaptive advantage for those seeking curently defined cultural goals.

    Now for those who take the role of thought leaders and commentors on the current state of affairs from the perspective of the Newtonian or standard model there are a few possiblities for their propogation of misleading information. Ignorance above malice is always a good first choice in determining motive.Then come those who are incapable or innocently unwilling to grasp the advances in human understaning and simply offer culturally acceptable views. Next we have those among the unwiiling who act with malice to provide false dichotomies and outright falsehoods in pursuit of an agenda. As we are watching current events unfolding this latter group are truly sinister.

    Congestive heart failiure July 14, hospitalization most of July, August and September, aoartic valve replacement September 15, final discharge from hospital September 24. During this period no media was consumed. Upon reentering the media space it became apparent the only the words were different and that nothing else had changed. The same arguments and the same realities are being created reinforced by pride and prejudice.
    please accept my apology for intruding into your space

    A short piece today: Zohran Mamdani’s Good Family https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/zohran-mamdanis-good-family

    Many of us have become curious about who Zohran Mamdani is as a human being, and where his 34 years of life have carried him, and what company he has kept in that time. The basic facts are readily available, and Wikipedia has biographies of his academic Anthropologist/Historian father and movie-director mother, who are Muslim and Hindu members of the Indian diaspora. His wife is a Muslim US-born Syrian from Houston. All of them share a core anti-colonialist value system.
    Zohran’s work in public service appears to have been sincere public service to the poor. He has considered himself privileged, as he “never wanted for anything”.

    ​ What does a ‘socialist’ in charge of New York really mean?​ (Thanks Wiggs.)
    Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is hated both by Republicans and his own fellow Democrats because he wants to bring change. But can he?
    ​ What makes Mamdani’s victory significant is that he is a self-styled “democratic socialist” who was elected mayor without being endorsed by the Democratic Party leadership – most of whom, including Chuck Schumer, minority Senate leader from New York, refused to endorse him at all.
    Mamdani is an intelligent, 34-year-old Muslim of Indian heritage who was born in Uganda. His father is a prominent black studies academic and his mother is an acclaimed filmmaker.
    Mamdani, a former celebrity rapper, social worker and state assemblyman, ran on a left-wing populist program that focused almost exclusively on alleviating cost-of-living pressures for ordinary New Yorkers – especially young New Yorkers. He promised to deliver rent freezes, free public transport, free childcare, city-owned grocery stores and universal health care. He also promised to build 200,000 affordable new houses with union labor.
    ​ Whether Mamdani can actually implement this program is by no means clear – New York city is $5 billion in debt, and the New York state government and governor can severely limit what a New York mayor can do.
    ​ Mamdami is a strong critic of America’s support for the Netanyahu and Zelensky regimes, and has stated explicitly that he would fund his reforms by increasing taxes on New-York-based large corporations and the ultra-rich that control them.
    ​ Mamdani’s program is a pragmatic social democratic one – that contrasts starkly with the MAGA populist agenda, which is based on magical thinking, demonizing America’s supposed internal enemies and leaving America’s economic structure and widening inequalities of wealth completely intact.​..
    ​..Some left-wing commentators – as does Mamdani himself – have seen Mamdani’s rapid political ascendency as the harbinger of a radical transformation of the Democratic Party – into a party that is, as it once was, focused on representing the traditional working class and other groups in American society that have been economically pauperized and culturally alienated by globalization.
    ​ Right-wing commentators have branded Mumdani a “communist,” “terrorist sympathiser” and anti-Semite, and see him as a dangerous threat to American society.
    ​ Both of these views are, however, fundamentally mistaken. Mandami is a perculiarly New York phenomenon.​ https://www.rt.com/news/627430-new-york-mayor-socialist/

    ​ Anti-Zionism: The Debate That Changed Everything
    The defining moment of the campaign arrived in early June, when Mamdani’s debate performance electrified the city. He articulated his anti-Zionist position — opposition to the political ideology of Zionism’s influence on U.S. foreign policy, not opposition to Israel or to Jewish identity — with unusual moral clarity. By separating criticism of a state from prejudice against a people, Mamdani broke a political taboo and invited honest debate.
    ​ That distinction resonated widely, even among segments of New York’s Jewish community, including the Hasidic voters, who saw in him a man of principle rather than opportunism. The debate redefined him overnight — from activist to statesman — and his commanding victory in the June Democratic primary confirmed that a new political language had found its audience.​ https://www.defenddemocracy.press/zohran-mamdani-and-the-revolt-against-the-neo-feudal-order/

    ​ Wikipedia: Zohran Kwame Mamdani[c] (born October 18, 1991) is an American politician who is the current mayor-elect of New York City. A member of the Democratic Party and the Democratic Socialists of America, he has served as a member of the New York State Assembly from the 36th district since 2021, representing the Queens neighborhood of Astoria.
    Mamdani was born in Kampala, Uganda, to academic Mahmood Mamdani and filmmaker Mira Nair, both of whom are of Indian descent. The family moved to Cape Town, South Africa, when Mamdani was five years old. When he was seven, they moved to the United States, settling in New York City. Mamdani graduated from the Bronx High School of Science. He received a bachelor’s degree with a major in Africana studies from Bowdoin College in Maine in 2014.
    After working as a housing counselor and musician, Mamdani entered local New York City politics as a campaign manager for Khader El-Yateem and Ross Barkan. He was first elected to the New York State Assembly in 2020, defeating five-term incumbent Aravella Simotas in the Democratic primary. Representing Astoria, Queens, he was reelected without opposition in 2022 and 2024.
    In October 2024, Mamdani announced his candidacy for mayor of New York City in the 2025 election. In June 2025, Mamdani won the Democratic primary in an upset victory over Andrew Cuomo, former governor of the state. He was elected mayor in the November 4 general election against Cuomo, who ran as an independent, and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa, with 50.4% of the vote.
    Mamdani campaigned on an affordability-focused platform in support of fare-free city buses, universal public child care, city-owned grocery stores, a rent freeze on rent-stabilized units, additional affordable housing units, and a $30 minimum wage by 2030; he additionally expressed support for LGBTQ rights, comprehensive public safety reform, and tax increases on corporations and those earning above $1 million annually…
    ​..The family moved to the United States and settled in New York City when Mamdani was seven, and he was raised in Morningside Heights.​ He has described his upbringing as “privileged”, saying, “I never had to want for something, and yet I knew that was not in any way the reality for most New Yorkers.”​ As a child, he was often present on his mother’s film sets.​..
    ..Before running for office, Mamdani worked as a foreclosure prevention and housing counselor. There, he assisted lower-income immigrant homeowners in Queens with eviction notices and efforts to remain in their homes. He said the experience motivated him to run for office to address the housing and affordability crisis.​ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zohran_Mamdani

    None of my tracers on our host RIM has returned to me, which is a little odd. Just no replies.
    There is no obituary for him, and I keep searching that, as well.

    Do you know the food kitchen he supports?

    Elephant in the room, now desperate, rotates on the foot that he stepped on you with.

    Lots of deep fakes kicking around these days. If you pay a slight amount of attention you will will spot them. Robotic, monotonous vocal tones and statements which lack their idiosyncratic speech patterns.

    So far I have come across quite a few from John Mearsheimer, Alan Watts, Jordan Peterson, Jeffrey Sachs. It’s certain that there will be more. They are getting quite sophisticated at fooling the viewer – for example, the Mearsheimer and Sachs videos have a video accompanying the audio which looks more convincing than the audio. If you “listen” with your eyes, you will be more easily fooled by these. These mostly fail in the sound department. It is not so easy to fake the human voice.

    There was no food kitchen, the whole story is bullshit. How would a food kitchen guy, supposedly concerned enough about hungry mouths to donate his own valuable time to alleviate their plight, also support the Israeli starvation of Gazans? Human nature does not permit such discrepancies.

    I just realized, that an A.I. would have no trouble making the NATO auditor believe that Canada is spending 5% of its GDP on the military.
    (see how it’s done by Ukraine)

    @ count zero – yes, and I bet that the monotonous tone of A.I. is like balm to the ears of the auditors. Enron type events are overdue but this time, they can just blame it all on A.I.

    TAE started out as a collaborative effort, first with Nicole Foss and later with Ashvin (albeit briefly).

    Perhaps John Day will become the next collaborator/successor?
