Ex-Pentagon official claims US has recovered nonhuman specimens. These could be a reason whitehats might want to see the population of the US armed. If you read everything on the subject, one of the general storylines which is infused in there, as a possible reality, is at some point there was some kind of meeting between those who really run things, and the UAP drivers, at Wright Patterson. If you hunt around there is grainy 8mm-esque tape of a saucer descending toward an airfield which is claimed to be video from the meeting The storyline continues that the ETs announced they would be taking humans for reasons which are unclear, however as a concession, they would allow the elites to choose the humans, and supply them, so they would not just be grabbing random people, and maybe someone important at some point. This is then carried over to the story of Michael Herrera, a US Marine who testified to Congress, that while moving through a jungle in Indonesia following an earthquake, to construct an LZ for the delivery of relief supplies at remote village, his Marine platoon encountered US Delta Force types, who were loading a UAP with Indonesian citizens in cages, who had presumably been kidnapped following the quake because they would not be missed, and would just be assumed to have been lost in the disaster.
I put the chances at like 1% in my probability matrix, given Elizondo has questionable relationships with guys like Clapper and Podesta, and we know there have been those saying the elites would play the alien card as things collapsed. But in brainstorming who the enemy would be, who could make the elites calculate they are better off arming us than not arming us, the UAP drivers are in that probability matrix. Much higher in my matrix, is some people are at least preparing a civil war against the surveillance, and want real Americans armed, so they can hold the prospect of just unleashing us overnight, on the ground level operatives of the American Stasi, over the head of Cabal, perhaps during some kind of negotiations.

Weapons found at Donald Trump Asheboro rally, person arrested. Sounds like somebody had a gun in the trunk of their car, and was arrested on leaving the rally. No further information. On the one hand, although I would leave the gun home if going to a Trump rally, I am not aware of a specific law preventing you from having an unloaded gun in the trunk. I am quite certain Secret Service would have a technology they would deploy on streets leading to a rally site to detect who at a rally had a gun in their vehicle. Don’t let the Trump shooting make you think the agency is toothless or incompetent, outside of when the conspiracy wants it to be. Be interesting to find out the story on how this came about.

So Trump will “ask for the resignations of every senior clown who was part of the afghan fuckstory on Day 1.”
uh-huh. well that’s all very nice, but then he’s gonna run into the exact same fucking problem he had 4 years ago: once the Top Men are out – IF they choose to leave, and that’s a big if – Trump has to… replace them. Being a DC outsider with a real life, he doesn’t know anyone in those fields; he sure doesn’t know any reliable military men. So he’ll have to ask around. then depend on the honor of the people he asks as to whether their recommendations are worth a chicken-fried shit. (spoiler alert: they’ll all be Deep State scum just like the people they want to replace; or 99%+ will be anyway)(remember when Mad Dog Mattis, Fearsome Warrior Monk Marine, was gonna make it all right? remember how we were all eagerly waiting for Sessions to go berserker on the asshole krewe?) so you see The Problem. “We’ll just promote all the deputies! No…. wait….”
THEN, the instant the New Guys are in place, the New Guys will continue on with Deep State fuckery just like the Old Guys did – and Trump won’t be able to do anything about it, no more than he could last time. hiring and then instantly firing 6 or 8 new guys in a row only shows the world he doesn’t know what to do – and he can’t have that. “You’re either stupid or you’re in over your head, Mr. President. Which is it?”
too BlackPillish? LOZL take Chris FBI Wray. {please} know how THAT pile of pig shit ended up as FBI bossman? Trump had fired the last guy, and took the recommendation of a trusted political ally, who recommended Wray, who of course lied his ass off in the interview, and Trump didn’t have any other candidates, so…. the name of that Trustworthy Close Political Ally? well that would be “Chris Christie.”
think about that.
PS the only way to save the military now is to fire every single officer above the rank of Major/Commander; I don’t know WHAT the fuck to do about the rot in the NCO ranks **and** shut down the service academies for a 5-year fumigation. none of those things are possible. so here we are.
I would imagine everybody (military) responsible for Afghanistan has already retired to cushy jobs in the industry. Nobody’s getting fired there.
The problem is that everybody wearing a star has been vetted by Congress, and are the most political cadre of military officers on Earth. Unlike Texaco, you cannot trust your military to the guys wearing a star, and that pretty much goes for anybody wearing a bird too.
If Trump had bothered to do actual military service, rather than rely on his experience in military school, he would have learned that lesson and would not have been so star-struck and screwed over by his Generals in his first term.
Not that Trump follows through on his big promises all that often anyway.
And really: what’s the big attraction of filling all the offices with “experienced” people anyway? They’re experienced at backstabbing and betraying. Frankly, I’d prefer an entirely inexperienced Executive Branch, bureaucracy and military than the treasonous Cabal coxuckers we have, hell-bent on destroying what’s left of our country.
Agree totally with your assessment.
Again, and Again, and Again.—the problem is the lack of Virtue, and Virtue training in America. We are all born dysfunctional. We need to be taught how to be good–that is only done in Arete. That is why Scripture has it “Supplement The Faith with Arete”.
But then, one needs an authoritarian religious state to implement Arete–but that is against Americanism. Sooooo…..so here we are.
The other part of the problem — The US Military is a Masonic organization! George Washington was a fervent Mason. All the generals under him were Masons. The first Commandant of West Point was a Rosicrucian (which is akin to Masonry). And both Masonry and Rosicrucianism are founded upon Jewish Messianism–globalism, World Unity, World Republic, race-mixing, globohomo. Most of the generals under Lincoln were Communists. They murdered Gen. Patton.
The US Military is not a True military but mercenaries for globo-homo.
You can’t fight a Religion, (Communism is a religion), with secularism. As I stated earlier, America is a Jewish theocracy. — you can’t fight that with secularism and toleration. –You need a Catholic theocracy. …
“Virtue” is the Law of Works, Lindsay; if that is the prime element of the Catholic faith, then Roman Catholicism is Judaism; the Law of Works was destroyed in 70 A.D.
You are really illiterate. Arete is a MORAL CODE. Arete has NOTHING to do with Judaism.
All Christians are told to “Supplement The Faith with Arete”. — that IS IN New Testament! How is that destroyed in 70A.D.??? We are ALL told to have it!!!
Righteousness is defined as Arete!!!!
Book of Wisdom in the Septuagint (which is Catholic/Orthodox Scripture), the four main virtues of the Greeks are listed:
“And if a man love(s) righteousness, her labours are arête: for she teacheth sophrosyne and phronesis, righteousness and manliness”. (LXX. Wisdom 8:7)
Look closely—Righteousness is Arete. No Arete–No Righteousness.
17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death. 18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. 19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
I John 5:17. One has to acquire Morality. One is taught this, habitualized into Arete. It is a requirement—My point is that the WHOLE Christian Church has never been in obedience to that clear command. Every thing outside of Arete is Unrighteousness and therefore Sin.
““Virtue” is the Law of Works, Lindsay”

And his buddy Barack for a Nobel for, basically, getting elected. So the bar for getting a Nobel is pretty low.
Other Nobel Prize winners: Woodrow Wilson, Cordell Hull, Nelson Mandela, Mikhail Gorbachev, Yasser Arafat, Kofi Annan, Jimmy Carter, Al Gore, and a bunch of people I’ve never heard of. It might be interesting to see how dirty those are, too.
The guy they went to, Thorbjorn Jagland, who had unabashedly given Obama the prize, had just taken a new job as Secretary General of the Council of Europe (presumed quid pro quo), and had insufficient clout remaining with the Nobel Committee to be the guy to pull it off for them. Epstein and Gates went to meet him in Strasbourg circa 2012 iirc.
Imo, it wasn’t a vanity project, but a calculated image burnishing attempt for BG before the plandemic. It’s hilarious to me that they eventually went for mauve sweaters instead.

The compassion side of Trump is always missed by those with TDS. I hope the person is okay. My concern would be the bad guys playing on this side of him. “We can bait him into stepping out from behind his protection.” That worry may be moot, I suppose. If the bad guys really want to do harm, they will.

However, the US military actually did spend some money investigating a “gay bomb” chemical weapon. Wikipedia references the USAF in 1994, but the Army also worked on one in the 1960s or 1970s; unfortunately neither the Goog nor Yandex were willing to return anything but the 1994 project.
The similarity of search results makes me wonder if Yandex is now using Google as their back-end source instead of maintaining their own database. Used to, Yandex would always give dramatically different results for searches. I guess I need to compile a list of search terms and start comparing results so I’ll know.
I just thought it meant they were going to design the missiles to look like dildos!
Yeah, a/c I concur they are giving us these guns for a reason. The whole americana meme with gun culture ingrained throughout media, entertainment, sporting competitions, clubs and cadres grouping together socially, etc. is a huge macro programming operation. We are being farmed, so it goes the martial gun culture is the program to build and create a continous replenishing stock of warrior caste peoples that are mostly all the way there physically and phsyched up as well, to do those dirty deeds when necessary and or upon commanded to do so. Having been in the .mil green machine confirms this feedback loop in play and the machinery behind all the cultural and social programming operations. The key now is to be your own soldier for your own battles, and not end up a meat cube for cabal’s end goals. Stay frosty.
Could be we’re getting the guns so that in one fell swoop, and one solitary signature on a piece of paper, we all become felons for not turning them in. As federal felons there will be little push back from the majority of sheeple who would be against reeducation camps. I no longer trust much of what goes on to be legit.
Making millions of armed Americans felons with one signature is not the smartest idea. You’ve just put them in a position wherein they have nothing left to lose, except your chains.
Exactly. Look, the US government couldn’t possibly round up all of the REGISTERED and stamped machine guns that are on the books, and those are mostly owned by rich people as toys and collectibles. Now start doing the math on all the AR’s, AK’s, handguns….. and very quickly you arrive at the conclusion that you would need to import every single blue helmet the UN has to merely begin to get the guns in the cites, and once outside the cities they would be in extreme mortal danger.
Lyudmila Pavlichenko once held up an entire German advance for multiple DAYS with just a single scoped Mosin-Nagant. NAZI stick up head, head get blown off. Literally still possible to do with all of the toys a current military employs. EASIER, because of the proliferation of accurate semi-autos.
1) The thing about the warrior culture is that it breeds warriors, and warriors don’t like to be disarmed, which is why they also know that they cannot trust that the US military would do this to it’s own people.
2) Let’s be clear, there is no gun confiscation plan that functions in America merely due to LOGISTICS. And now SCOTUS is being positioned to have to throw out the only laws that SOMEWHAT control guns?
3) The only truly effective form of gun control is the barrier of entry to manufacturing guns. That barrier hasn’t been lowered so much as blown apart.
The FCG-9 is a mostly 3d printed 9mm PCC that uses off the shelf parts from the hardware store like the Lutty SMG, and is currently being employed in Burma to great effect as it is both cheap to manufacture on cheap imported Chinese-made printers, and it’s easy to use to train peasant farmers how to shoot who have never held a gun before. It’s the first successful “gun to get a gun” in history, where the rebels pick up government guns from the dead after the battle.
There are a few states like mine banning home manufacturing of guns, and they’re all going to lose in court eventually. Hobby-level CNC machines are now too capable and too prolific. There’s no way to put the genie back in the bottle.
4) This mindset where everything is always somehow a trap for us and that everything they do is a Xanatos gambit where they can’t lose is WRONG. These people are arrogant and foolish. They don’t comprehend that one week you can be dictator of Romania giving a speech to forced applause and five days later your bullet hole riddled corpse is swinging from a streetlamp in front of your giant mansion. That is, until reality slaps in the face.

> Records confirm USSS deleted text messages of USSS officials including Kimberly Cheatle, relating to Jan 6th.
—
Oooo… that’s violating several records acts, plus destruction of evidence and impeding an investigation.
Good thing all those text messages are permanent, wot? Oh, you didn’t know that? Any texts you send from the Big Three providers (and presumably the lesser fish, which mostly use Big Three services under contract) gets handed off to what’s claimed to be a third party and “archived” after sending.
That hit the news some years ago on a Valentine’s Day, when a bunch of text messages that had hung in limbo for months suddenly went through, and people were receiving texts from family or friends who had died. Which freaked the hell out of the recipients. Here’s a link, since any mention of it usually gets pushed way down in the search results: https://www.cnbc.com/2019/11/08/valentines-text-glitch-why-messages-came-eight-months-late.html#:~:text=Here's%20why%20almost%20170%2C000%20Valentine's%20Day%20texts%20arrived%20nine%20months%20late,-Published%20Fri%2C%20Nov&text=Nearly%20170%2C000%20people%20on%20a,for%20SMS%20in%20the%20U.S.
It’s true. Government communications, whether email, text messages, meeting agendas, etc. are considered records and the law dictates how long a record must be maintained. Of course, laws are only as good as the will and the means to enforce them and we see how much shit the FBI is in for falsifying data on FISA warrants (as in, none.)
Trump Assassination News And The Mainstream Media Cover-Up (rumormillnews.com)
> Copper thieves caught on camera ‘risking death’ to steal utility lines in North Texas.
—
You can find video out there of more than one crew that tried to strip copper from operating power stations. They got fried extra-crispy.
My favorites, though, are some Russian looters.
Russia goes quite far north. It’s covered in ice. And then there’s the North Pole, which is water, but that’s covered in ice, too. Every now and then – not every year – there would be a narrow water channel between the two, connecting the Pacific and Atlantic oceans across the top of Russia. That’s how the Germans sent the ‘Komet’ and its tiny fleet to the Pacific in WWII.
Anyway, the USSR built 132 atomic-powered lighthouses along the channel, and several nuclear-powered icebreakers to keep the channel open. After the collapse of the USSR the icebreakers kept running, but (not being paid any more) the maintenance crews for the lighthouses just walked away.
Like various submarine bases and airfields, the lighthouses were eventually found by scrappers, who began unbolting pieces to carry away. Given the casual Soviet attitude toward radiation and safety in general, the scrappers might not have felt so good afterward. When the lighthouses started going offline the ships reported it, and repairmen were sent out, who found the damage.
Most of the reactors were in pretty bad shape. They had never been intended to run without maintenance, so it was amazing most of them were still chugging along. By the way, the USA helped pay for repairing and updating the lighthouses. “Your tax dollars at work.”
That’s fascinating. I had to see what they looked like:
https://www.bbc.com/reel/video/p0931jtk/the-nuclear-lighthouses-built-by-the-soviets-in-the-arctic
Having been in the communications industry, I think these guys are taking the copper phone lines. Those lines are closer to the ground, 12″ under the CATV lines which are only copper coated aluminum. Back in the day I attended monthly utility meetings and the subject of old lead tube with copper twisted pair removal came up. I was told that even though there were billions of dollars in retrievable copper it would be too cost prohibitive to hire the amount of people it would take, along with the additional vehicles etc. So the plan was to just leave it in place until it fell. Now, some of what these guys are taking appear to be more modern poly coated bundles. I heard from someone that shoot on sight might make a welcome come back.
> New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) announced Wednesday the state would cancel $100 million in medical debt for nearly 50,000 residents.
—
There are two ways he could do that:
A) just declare the debts void, stealing the money from the creditors
B) use tax money to settle the debts, stealing the money from the citizens of New Jersey
My money is on the latter.
That’s about 2k per. Still sucks to not get a vote on the idea.
True, and the article suggests the governor chose B. So the largest health care organizations in NJ were paid $millions in lump sums to “forgive debts” they stood zero chance of collecting. Nothing to see here…
Not just B. but also option B with a huge caveat, charity’s that do that exact same thing pay anywhere from $0.10 to $0.005 on the dollar to have these debts forgiven. This is due to them being largely uncollectable. I bet this was a playoff to the health care monopoly at a much higher rate, on the tax payers dime of course.

Well, if you don’t have a bulldozer and welding skills, you do your best with what you have.
> Central banks and finance ministries of all BRICS nations are discussing the launch of a new payments platform that would circumvent the US dollar.

That was supposed to be finished and in operation last year.
Looks like the BRICS bureaucracy isn’t any more efficient than the EU and US bureaucracies.
1) IMO the evidence is overwhelming that the Shroud of Turin is NOT a fake.
2) The evidence is overhwelming that the Shroud of Turin IS the burial shroud of the crucified Christ.
3) The evidence is fascinating as to how the image was created, and there are assorted theories. Among those is a persuasive theory that the Shroud records the movement of Jesus at the moment of resurrection.
4) I personally consider the Shroud a gift from God to me. I believed before I became familiar with the evidence, so the Shroud was not necessary.
5) No one else has to accept what I believe to be a loving gift, but IMO it is offered to all, in their various stages of belief or disbelief. When a person considers the implications of the Shroud, all sorts of questions are resolved or made irrelevant.
Totally agree.
I believe it very well could be the burial shroud of Jesus Christ. But the nonsense of not being able to make a faux shroud is laughable. A bronze statue, heated to singe the cloth would have been fairly simple for a talented artist.
Then go claim your $1 million bounty, smart boy. If it’s so easily recreated fraudulently, you should have no problem doing so.
It’s exceptional! #ChristIsKing
‘The BRICS boys talkin’ ’bout setting up a new payments platform, say they gon compete with the dollar”
Here’s how that’ll work: it’ll be 100X slower and 5000X less transparent than USD transactions. IF – if – said platform doesn’t debut with a long list of ancillary fees and charges on Day 1, they’ll be operative by Day 10. By Day 11, there will be rumblings the chinese are a) playing games with the transactions and b) beginning to outright steal some of them. By Day 12, the Indians and Russians, seeing how things are going, will start stealing too. All the while loudly denying it, just like our inscrutable chinese friends do. there will be dark mutterings of “imperialist racisms”. Any refunds offered – LOL – will be in those highly desirable rock-solid-not-manipulated-at-all wonder currencies, the yuan and the ruble and the rupee. (again, LOL) good luck getting your local bank to accept ’em! By Day 30, the whole rotten comedic scam will have collapsed. So yeah, jump in with both feet, smart wise hip progressive world!! It is only Right and Just that slow learners and The Stupids should have to pay a tax for being so fucking gullible – BRICS to the rescue.
I’m just glad that the United States and Israel don’t play any of that funny business with the US dollar.
yes yes, bitter world-weary sarcastic cynicism about what a scumbucket Uncle Sam is, just like the droning commenter lads at ZH. and you know what? you’re right! they’re right! the USG lies and cheats all day every day, and has since WW2 at least!
but the thing is, at least in terms of ‘a world reserve currency’, Uncle Sam and the gummint cheats MUCH MUCH MUCH less than any other government/currency on earth except 3, and all 3 of them are tiny countries with boutique currencies that could never be used for worldwide transactions. like it or not, boys, The Dollar is it. Disagree? fine. I’ll make you a deal you should jump at: I’ll buy all your hard assets from you at 110% of its value: cash, gold, securities, property – but I get to pay you in yuan, rubles, and rupees. and I’ll walk away with all of your {former} assets, but the transactions may take some time to process and clear, and there might be just a a few procedural holdups perhaps due to one of my currencies just devalued itself by 20% with no warning. but no big deal, right? just like that awful US Dollar, right? deal?
I’m glad I put all my retirement money into gold. I bought it over the internet; it’s in a vault in Azerbaijan. They emailed me a .pdf as proof of ownership.
I think I’ll sell some of it off and take advantage of a new investment opportunity. A local street vendor is selling some magic beans that look like they could make me a fortune if I get in on the ground floor.
funny man. what part of “Beware BRICS” AKA ‘Magic Beans’ translated into your brain as “Buy gold/magic beans”? Did you read me push/recommend ANY kind of specific investments? No you didn’t. Using your “logic” here, we can make the leap to this: Man A – “Running across a busy freeway is idiotic and will just get you killed!”
Idiot B – “Oh so you’re saying we should ban freeways and go back to horse & buggies! LOL!!”
VD has a catchy phrase for people who think they’re {considerably} smarter than they actually are, maybe you should look into it: “Midwit.”
He was joking.
Yes, but the subtlety of my humor often escapes the humor-impaired.
Thank you for your concern, collect your shekels at the door comrade.
blow me, moron. go put your entire net worth into BRICS currencies. moron. that’ll teach me a lesson!
“London Mayor Sadiq Khan fears for his safety if Trump is reelected, says Labour should openly back Kamala.”
If only there was substance to all these dirtbags’ alleged fears.
On the three letter agency — he won’t get any cooperation from the CIA, even as its director. Make him the head of DIA, and then set them against the CIA.
The Huge Ruling That Says Machine Gun Bans Are Unconstitutional
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAY3jAmgGcM
We’ve known that since 1934, but it hasn’t stopped the Fed and various states from enforcing their unconstutitional (and therefore invalid) laws.
Another highly melanated non-american allowed to keep their machine guns, sbrs, silencers, etc. while real americans rot in prison for decades.
They want people to have the fun toys, just not you, whitey.
I remember saying this was never going to happen, almost like it was last week. Okay, it was last week. This week however….
“Kansas today in the matter of United States v. Morgan. The Court has found that 18 U.S.C. Sec. 922(o) is not supported by historical analogues and since the Second Amendment clearly covers this activity, the prohibition on possessing machine guns is unconstitutional.”
I’m probably going to have to do a SOAPBOX vid on this one. So much to unpack:
1)It’s not federally illegal to own a machine gun. It’s illegal to own/possess a machine gun that doesn’t have a tax stamp from ATF. It’s a prohibitive tax meant to dissuade the citizenry from exercising their constitutional right.
The obvious implication is that they going directly after the tax stamp in the challenge.
2)The government’s written argument includes the sentence “the Second Amendment only applies to weapons that were commonly used by law-abiding citizens at the time of the Second Amendment’s enactment.”
There is no SCOTUS decision stating that. Even the “common use” test that I will tell you is BS applies to ANYTHING CURRENTLY OWNED BY MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. These guys haven’t just invented a law, they’ve grabbed an antigun talking point and pretended it’s a SCOTUS ruling.
3) Brings to mind a great line from the show Angel: The Series – “Oh, I’m lawyer. I don’t care about the law.” They clearly don’t. Worse is that the judges don’t seem to either. The judge’s opinion is the only thing that really matters. By definition, that makes the US no longer a republic.
4)A “sawed-off shotgun” is not useful for militia service. A whole bunch of doughboys that took pump 12GA’s into the trenches in WW1 would argue that point.

We’ll get Sawed off shotties next.
It’s already precedent that you can’t require a tax or a permit for a BoR right, and the feds won’t even let you register and pay the tax on one, so the whole thing is going to go down.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Vacationed in Cuba, Praised ‘Incredibly Charming’ Fidel Castro
https://freebeacon.com/elections/robert-f-kennedy-jr-vacationed-in-cuba-praised-incredibly-charming-fidel-castro/
Reports from others concur that Fidel was quite skilled at “charming.”
The view of Fidel that important foreigners got was quite different from the one the Cuban citizenry got.
RFK has the nasolabial disgust folds very distinctly, there’s no reason to trust him based on what we know of the physiognomy behind that tell.
