News Briefs – 10/22/2020

Here are some news stories that might be of interest. Most articles will be more or less summarized in the headline. You can skim the headlines and summaries, and click the links if they are of interest. Keep in mind, many of these reports are products of the Fake News, so although they will be what people are hearing and talking about, there is no guarantee any one of them is necessarily correct, and we have had cases of outright lies make it onto these pages, especially about President Trump.

Q’s Posts are here.

Twitter Brief is here.

Biden says, muting the mics at debate is ‘a good idea.’ The truth is, his amygdala trigger is interruption and distraction (producing frustration), so if Trump just continues to interrupt, even with the mic turned off, Biden will end up just as fucked up as at the last debate. However the big amygdala hijack President Trump should use is telling people to look at the emails and videos themselves online. Biden’s big amygdala-relaxant is thinking his lie is on equal footing in the eyes of viewers with the truth President Trump spoke. To destroy that amygdala relaxant, President Trump should just keep telling people, go to “source XXX” online (like www.DonaldJTrump.com, and click on “Biden Corruption”), and tell people they can view all the source evidence with their own eyes, and make up their own minds.  What really hijacked Biden with Bernie was when Bernie told people to go online and look up the video of Biden saying this, or espousing that (after Biden just said he would never say that). The moment Bernie said, ‘you can see it with your own eyes,’ Biden felt destroyed, because at that point his mind thinks, if he keeps lying, he looks like a liar, but if he doesn’t, his opponent wins. Narcissists hate having to make that choice.

Vox Day highlights the ADL was caught running a massive surveillance operation targeting American citizens. One thing about intel is it is a slippery slope, and tends to aggregate. I have no idea if ADL got big enough to take on FBI/CIA/etc, and is behind what we see today, or if FBI/CIA/Cabal saw what ADL was up to and engulfed them, but I have no doubt ADL and the greater domestic machine are for all purposes one and the same.

Chanel Rion of OAN tweets, “Multiple @OANN reporters have now viewed the emails, photos, and videos on the #HunterBiden hard drive. We can confirm: There appear to be not one but several images of a minor that justify immediate attention. We have reason to believe the minor is a US citizen.”

Hunter was in some of the explicit photos with his 14 year old relative.

Delaware State PD refers a case to the FBI based off the hard drive Giuliani passed on to them. I think one advantage in this environment is Cabal is not clearly defined, and though it is pervasive, the players doubt it could be everywhere. So if you start creating a circus, and getting everyone involved, a lot of the players may begin playing it straight, because they will not want one of the honest players noticing they are running cover for some kind of conspiracy. And since the players don’t know each other, the ones who play it safe to protect themselves begin to look to the others like even more honest players, and that will motivate even more defections.

Steve Bannon says, “There’s other criminal activity. It’s going to be a storm. Storm clouds are gathering around the #Biden camp.”

Laptop connected to Hunter Biden is the subject of an FBI money laundering probe.

According to Jason Miller, a Trump 2020 Senior Advisor, the far left debate commission is now banning ALL QUESTIONS on Joe Biden’s multi-million dollar foreign corruption and money laundering operations!

Smoking gun email from Hunter’s laptop proves the Bidens were paid to shut down the Burisma investigation and make it go away.

Chief of Staff Mark Meadows tells Maria Bartiromo that the Biden crime family was involved in “hundreds of millions of dollars” in money laundering schemes.

Dinesh D’Souza says Joe Biden’s pawing and sniffing little girls takes on ominous new significance.

Biden’s niece was enjoying multi-million dollar lobbying gigs selling access to the Obama White House.

Joe Biden says, Sen Ron Johnson should be ‘ashamed’ for suggesting his family profited from their name.

A closer look at the Indian Bond fraud which Hunter Biden was  associated with. Notice they had a head of multiple asset management companies who was selectively guiding specific clients to buy the worthless bonds as assets, to rip them off. And Hunter skated away completely clean. You were in the network, or the wolves had your number, and were gunning for you from the shadows.

National review plucks out the weirder parts of a 1974 interview Joe Biden did before he learned how to camouflage himself as a normal person. Narcissists are weird, because they don’t naturally understand how to be normal. You have to view everything he says, as a constant recitation of things, which if he were in the interviewer’s chair, would have made the interviewer massively jealous and triggered with envy.

Fake News is trying to do a hitjob on Rudy over the new Borat film.

The media is trying to say Giuliani had his hands inside his pants, as if it was sexually compromising, but a conservative who saw it said he was tucking his shirt back in.

But how often have you needed a government worker to do something to service you or produce some product you require?

Are you asking your Israeli readers, or the American ones?

Driving into work this morning i was thinking about the sheer ludicrousness of the Hunter Biden emails. I mean how fucked up is a family when you have a son messaging his dad telling him that stuff.

“Hey dad, do you know that bitch daughter in-law of yours won’t even let me see my 14 year old niece? I mean I’m just showing her my naked dad-bod while smoking meth. What a prude!”

I’d love to see Joe’s responde.

“Dems the breaks horse face. I told her to cut you off! The top dog always gets first dibs! Face-time schmace-time! Your sister in-law sends me Polaroids of what you can’t have. If you’re a good boy maybe I’ll let you peak at’em. Ah who am I kidding, you’re a loser. My only good son is dead.”

No wonder he dropped off the laptop and didn’t come back.

Interesting article in GQ of all places on mystery weapons taking down American diplomats and spies.
——————————————————

The Mystery of the Immaculate Concussion

He was a senior CIA official tasked with getting tough on Russia. Then, one night in Moscow, Marc Polymeropoulos’s life changed forever. He says he was hit with a mysterious weapon, joining dozens of American diplomats and spies who believe they’ve been targeted with this secret device all over the world—and even at home, on U.S. soil. Now, as a CIA investigation points the blame at Russia, the victims are left wondering why so little is being done by the Trump administration.

This always gets me. An oldie but goodie. It only shows a little bit but, the bits it shows are interesting. You have to think about what’s going on- the CIA sacrifices an entire HUMINT team to catch one mole. And they don’t even catch the mole. Ground level surveillance makes an appearance.

The movie was limited, obviously, but it showed a part of the intel world- a part that is too much for today’s movies. It’s a good intel intro for normies, if they are helped by the more experienced to see what’s just propaganda vs. what’s is definitely real.

Ya, after their “encounter” according to the article. Not to mention the gay black prostitute had a littany of pending criminal charges that ran through that very same DA office. It’s like Soros went and found every black faggot with a law degree he could, compromised and paid them off, then got them positioned in DA offices across the country.

Does anything good come out of American cities anymore? Are they even needed?

so have just stumbled on a comment thread here from a coupla days ago: how so many ancient gods – Sumerian, Annunaki, Gobleki Tepe, etc – all seem to be carrying handbags/godbags. (the Sumerian gods are all wearing wristwatches/iWatches, too, which is odd, given 2500 BC) (another interesting thing is have y’all noticed those ‘Handbag Gods’ are all built like modern-day NFL linebackers? in an era when a large man was maybe 5’6″ and 145…..

anyway. maybe y’all can help me with a question that’s been driving me nuts for the last 40 years: why the FUCK would hunter-gatherers transition to farming? being a farmer is the worst job ever: _endless_ work & chores, and you can lose it all/starve to death almost instantly should any of a hundred calamities befall you. farmers work 18-hour days. (ancient) farming was ‘barely-keep-yourself-alive’ at best, and a ticket to death by no rain/locusts/my cow died/I hurt my back/etc at worst.

OTOH, modern scientists have studied the lifestyle of the few remaining hunter-gatherer societies left on earth. they found the adults work an average of 2 hours a day, with the rest of their time devoted to fun stuff: hunting & fishing, shooting the breeze with the lads, playing with the kids, making *new* kids….. when times get lean, you just move on to greener pastures …..

given that most people have _some_ modicum of common sense, at least about “more work sucks and is worse than less work”, only an idiot would give up a wonderful life of freedom for the risky, endless drudgery of farming. and yet that’s what happened, so we’re told, for…. reasons unknown. I KNOW the stories the history profs and the archaeology boys preach are a pack of lies. don’t know how I know, bit I **know it.** You boys think maybe the godbag steroid linebackers might have marched the H-G’s into that life at gunpoint??

Hunting/gathering can NOT support a great amount of people. Like army ants that must move every month or so because they wipe out ALL their food sources, hunters/gatherers have to move. i’ve lived in the American forest—there is NOTHING to eat there. Maybe for one individual. But it is like a desert there. Those hunter gatherer groups—not more than 30 or 50 people. That’s it. Nature can’t support huge amounts of people. And there was no electricity. One’s books, entertainment, learning, civilization was only possible with agrarian societies. That is why slavery was invented to free up one person to engage in the higher forms of life. Hunter/gatherers can not.

Scripture has it: “Hate not thou laborious work”. Arbeit macht frei!

wheeler, I’ll give you this much: when you miss the point, you do it in *spectacular* fashion.

I don’t pretend to know what the real story was in re ‘hunter-gatherers transition to farming.’ all I know is what the archaeology/history cabal spews, and that it’s a load of bullshit. “bullshit”, because, among other reasons, their stated explanation for this _contradicts basic human nature._ you know: like “socialism/communism can work because people like to share!”

cheerful, jolly, mobile, capable, happy-go-lucky HG Tyler Durdens are NOT gonna give that up in favor of a life of backbreaking, incredibly risky Narrator farming drudgery that requires 18-hour days for … y’know … for forever. not willingly, anyway.

you reasoned this switch was due to a) incompetent hunter-gatherer skillz b) no electricity c) no culture. srsly? my GOD, those poor HG’s simply had nowhere to GO when they wanted to pop in for a cappucino after a red-hot day at the Guggenheim followed by a wonderful night at the opera. and when they wanted to curl up by the fire with a good book, why …. books hadn’t been invented yet! the horror!! oh, and d) over-population.

you’re aware the Official Story has humans moving to farming from HG along about 8 to 10 THOUSAND years ago, right? when the (estimated) population of the entire freakin Earff was somewhere along the lines of 5 million folks? (per wikipedia) meaning a planet-wide population density of…what….1 human per thousand square miles? something like that?? also, if “no food to be found in the pristine, primeval, utterly-jam-packed-with-game-and-fish forests” (LOL) is what drove the poor hungry HG’s to farming, what’d they live on while they waited for the crop to come in? how’d they not starve to death while they mastered farming’s murderously difficult learning curve? how did they know that transitioning to growing crops right *then* would eventually lead to widespread electrical transmission a mere 9000 years later???

It’s also a head-scratcher when you think about the actual difficulty of domesticating grains so that they are fit for human consumption. It would have been a long-term venture conducted by illiterates with no background in botany. Lloyd Pye presents a fascinating analysis of this topic here:

http://www.jcryanbooks.com/wp-content/uploads/Evolution%20and%20Intelligent%20Design%20V1.0.pdf

And a related issue is how the shaman or chief of these H-G tribes would have convinced their people to stay in one place while they experimented with crop domestication? How would they have fed themselves during the transition when they were no longer following the game but had not yet developed edible cereal grains?

There’s a lot more to that step in human development than meets the eye, IMHO.

concur. and for some mysterious reason, it’s always *that* precise step that the history/archaeology cabal just kinds blips over. “and then we all began farming. next up: cities! where people who used to freely roam over 5000 acres, eating fresh-killed wild game all willingly moved their entire families into dark dirty 150 sq ft hovels so they could all eat leeks and beans!”

About crop domestication, you have found a “missing link” similar to the ones in the theory of evolution. But the Bible says mankind farmed from almost day one. God set man to farming. Genesis chapter 3. There was no transition, or it happened very quickly, within a year or so.

“…why the FUCK would hunter-gatherers transition to farming? being a farmer is the worst job ever…”

This is so easy to answer. They were enslaved. They were forced and the “nobles” sliced off a big portion of the crops for “protection”. If you tried t run away where would you go? The woods were full of people who were assholes and ruthless enough that the elites couldn’t enslave them and they would probably kill you or enslave you also.

Read some of James LaFond’s work, he calls it plantation America, and you will see how this works. The early US was founded by a hand full of ruthless slavers who kidnapped, [the word was invented for this act], children in Britain and Ireland and indentured [enslaved} them as servants. Less than 50% of the “servants” lived to finish their indenture. If you were hanging around England and you were no ones serf [property] they would just grab you up and ship you off.

They needed LOTS of labor because the country was largely empty from the massive die off of the native Americans from communicable diseases. In some cases 90% or more. Total depopulation and the ones left were I can imagine completely despondent to the point of lethargy.

People pretend that the US was not founded by so called criminals but it was just the same as Australia.

The elites have never been anything but the equivalent of a motorcycle gang that drags off women and children to make them prostitutes and slaves.

Never forget that it’s THE WHITE MAN that invented the steam engine, the diesel engine and all other forms of using hydrocarbons to substitute for slavery and made it less profitable. Whites killed slavery. Before hydrocarbons the ONLY way to build a big pile of money was slavery.

Supposedly the handbag guys genetically engineered humans to do all the damn work. Now how much of this is true it’s hard to say. I see it written about but I don’t read Sumerian so it could all be lies.

There’s a lot of truly astounding shit that no one investigates or even talks about. These Melonheads are some of the most intriguing things on the planet and there seems to be no major archeological push to pay the slightest bit of attention to them. These skulls have different cranial sticking than all the other humans on the planet and bigger brain volume, supposedly.

There’s been quite a few giants found in the US while digging in mounds that the Indians say were there before they got there. The Spanish when going around the US found chiefs that were very tall. Like 7′. They were also in South America.

Hunter-gathering is no piece of cake (and I pretty much doubt those numbers of work/leasure ratio the sources you read/watched told you, although I might be wrong in my suspicion).

You risk a lot more injuries living the h-g life; can never build big numbers in order to defend your tribe (and if another group manages to grow its numbers via farming you’re now fucked because you are way outnumbered if they decide to wage war on you); you can never develop the specialization that permits the advancement of technology (which means that there is a big chance that another agricultural group develops a technological edge over you, so you’re fucked again militarily; and also means advancements in medicine are also very hard, which means lower numbers).

And remember that due to the fact that you can hardly stash calories in case something goes wrong (almost all the calories you spend go towards getting more calories in your belly), if something goes wrong, you’re fucked and go extinct (kind of like that hypothesis that says).

No doubt that the current state of affairs has the vast majority of the gen pop being pimped by the Jewish banks and the gaybal faggots and all that jazz, and we have a lot of room for improvement in what regards way of life and enjoyment of life, but any hunter-gatherer society is going to get crushed sooner rather than later (reminds me of the Aldous Huxley “The Island” book).

I recommend reading “The Fremen Mirage” over at the ACOUP blog. Turns out the nomads of the eurasian steppe were NOT an exception to the rule and we didn’t need gunpowder; Attila and Genghis Khan were brief aberrations to a pattern documented for thousands of years. His Fremen Mirage series is a great read, important supplemental information to Glubb’s “Fate of Empires”. I’d say the two are like halves; each is incomplete without the other.

I want to agree with Sam J here. But the ultimate answer is that people are just dumb.

> being a farmer is the worst job ever

Have you read permies.com? They claim you can do it in about 10 hours per week if you do it right. It turns out that farming can be quite interesting if you don’t resort to chemicals.

I am increasingly reaching the conclusion that the collapse of Western Civilization is the best possible thing that could happen to us. Not only will it substantially clean up the gene pool, but worsening circumstances will force people to start developing their virtues again.

I remember reading Adam Smith’s wealth of nations, and he described how easy farming was, just a few short hours of work per day. My father in law raised a family of nine on his farm, working four hours a day. Modern day factory farming, paying mortgages to the bank to fund Mr. John Deer and his big tractor machines… that is hard work. Slavery even.

Do you know how much money you can make from 1000 pastured chickens? Almost enough to live on if you are careful. With 3000 pastured chickens you can make a nice lifestyle if you do it organic and build up your markets to get around the distribution channels. Own your own platforms, etc. And you know how much work that is? About an hour or two a day. Most of the labor and cost is capital expense for land and structures. Once those are built and paid for, the work is minimal and easy.

I recommend two books, from the very dawn of the “organic” movement: “The Farming Ladder” by George Henderson (1944) and “Plowman’s Folly” by Edward Faulkner (1943). Farming is hard if you do it the hard way. The Bible was against usury for good reason; stay far clear of it, follow the inheritance laws so each generation can benefit from the capital gains of the previous, and farming is such an easy lifestyle, almost everyone with gumption can be middle class. For more on chickens, google for “robert plamondon pastured chickens”. Pasturing your chickens and letting them raise their own eggs has its own workflow, but eliminates a lot of the problems that factory farmers have to deal with.

guys, to be clear: when ol’ Stinggy makes disparaging remarks about ‘what a shit job farming is’, I’m referring to *ancient* farming, which is what the HG’s would have transitioned to 9000 years ago. no power tools, no steel tools at all, no accuweather forecasts, no Dept of Ag to help you plan out your crops, no high-yield disease-resistant GE crops, no concept-of-crop-rotation because that wouldn’t be invented for another 5000 years, no Roundup to knock out the weeds, no animal husbandry, no scarecrow because who the fuck can afford a scarecrow, Gods help you if it don’t rain/rains too much/early frost/late frost/the locusts come/your sons gets the dropsy and die, and so can’t help bring in the harvest, no freakin PLOWS because _they_ wouldn’t be invented until 3800 BC at the earliest ……. (also, where’d they get their first bags of crop seed??)

*that’s* the life I’m crapping all over; *that’s* the life I say that clever, capable HG’s who had access to vast, unspoiled, teeming-with-game-and-fish forests would never have signed up for willingly. and for the “HG ain’t all that easy” crowd? I say it IS all that easy when the earth’s population is 5 million max and the whole planet is covered with forests and grasslands that are jam-packed with animal life _that has never been hunted before_

ever see the famous picture of the men fishing in a river in the Pacific Northwest circa about 1895? they’ve caught _dozens_ of enormous salmon, all of which are at least 5 feet long and 100 lbs, with (obvs) not much effort at all. that’s 1895, in a world that had almost a billion people in it. now imagine the fishing & hunting in a world 9000 years earlier, with 99.5% fewer people in it. am willing to bet 3 rabbit snares and 2 fishing lines alone would keep a family of 10 fed.

again: HG’s would not have willingly transitioned to (ancient) farming. but note to Mycroft: that’s a most interesting post. Hmmm. I might have to look into that …. (imagines self as Stinggy tha Chicken King riding point on the vast chicken drives to market…..)

Chickens are a lot of fun. Lesson learned from them: when the hens are bullying each other, it is the rooster that jumps in and puts a stop to it. When we men are “protectors” of women, what are we protecting them from? Each other, mainly. Hens without roosters can injure each other quite a lot.

That “ancient” type of farming you are crapping on, never existed. Metalwork came along shortly after farming started. If you read Plowman’s Folly, when we first came to North America we didn’t NEED plows, it was poke a hole, drop a seed, get tremendous yield. The more modern we get, the harder we have to work. The modern things they lacked, aren’t needed and give marginal benefit unless you are a slave growing food for a demanding master. As for the problems of farming, modern farmers had those same problems right up to today. Irrigation goes back to the beginning of farming.

I also recommend the ACOUP series on how to make bread, and the one after, how iron was made. He describes not only the physical resources needed, but the social structures needed to come up with bread and iron. Fascinating insights. There are so many lies about our history, all designed to keep us from just reaching out and taking what we need from the good earth that God gave us.

Checked out the Drudge report today. Not a single mention of Hunter Biden. Wow! what a change! I used to go to Drudge everyday. Stopped going a year or more ago when I heard that he became anti-Trump—now it shows. It used to be it was the top spot to find corruption. Now, What a change.

Drudge has sucked for a good while. I read Revolver now.

Watched the debate. IF all this stuff about the laptop is true and if it can be proven that Hunter got all this money how the hell can they cover it up? Biden just flat out lied. Even if it’s not true they have taken the Democrats own weapons of drip, drip, drip and turned them against them. About time we have someone playing for keeps.

The moderator was awful but not near as bad as the last one. Trump did good.

I also saw his 60 minutes video Trump leaked. Great. So good, And it will kill her, absolutely kill her that the tape was leaked and it doesn’t show a single picture of her. She’s some disembodied voice saying the same things over and over and making no headway at all. Trump is a master at this. He is always on point and always chooses his wording such that the other person seems like they are stuck on silly.

I hate to do it because I have been feeling that things are looking up but this is a bad, bad, bad sign. If it looks bad then it just is. I’m just showing what I see. That it’s bad is self explanatory. Mitch McConnell bruised and beaten. This sort of battering of our Representatives was supposed to stop with Trump. By all means it should have. That it continues is very bad for us.

This can in no way be good. Is it about the Justice confirmation? Biden’s laptop? What, what do they want and why the fuck can’t we stop this? Doesn’t anyone have the balls when they do this to our Representatives to put a bullet into the heads of who did it? After a while they would run out of people to do this if they got a bullet in their heads every time they did it.

The reading light in my car gets incredibly hot after a minute or so. Anybody trying to read a book using that light would either melt the whole thing or, maybe indeed, cause a fire. If it would cause a fire, then I imagine the dripping molten plastic could cause very severe burns indeed.

I call bollocks on that. I’ve left my car interior lights on overnight, and nothing like that happened.

It does. When I was a kid I saw a finger with that type of injury, it had a bit of exposed bone (the plastic ate thru the flesh). Fortunately, it was a small area wound, but it was pretty disgusting.

Concerning those Biden emails….

IIRC, the Trump team got access to a whole lot of info, probably including emails, near the beginning of the Trump presidency. AC reported on this at the time. Something with Hawaii etc.

Yes, data centers in hawaii being seized by NSA. If I recall correctly.

Then the emails could be real, but the laptop(s) could be fabricated?

(I kind-a am looking for an angle that Trump is not alone, but has the support of a group. He might even be a “figurehead”. I just cannot see how a single man could be that good – not enough hours in the day.)
