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 an unreliable news media, 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.

We have an advertiser, The Daily Financial Trends – a financial news aggregator.

“Make sure those you follow talk about the surveillance, because everyone who is in the game knows. Make them either damage the machine by saying it, or reveal they are part of it by staying silent. Demanding our side talk about the surveillance is really the closest to a Xanatos gambit our side has.”

I’ve set up a new Gab account, @American_Stasi, where I will experiment with promoting the site. Twitter is a complete failure, with them outright deleting my posts which discuss Bill Binney. I would not be surprised Bill is still tweeting out of there, and they just have not shown anyone any of his posts, so we all think his account is dead. Torba has shown signs of promise, so we will see if Gab is at all helpful to amplifying the signal, or if it too is a glowie op.

If, as some previously have shown indications of, these Venezuelan gangs are also assets of Venezuelan intelligence, they will quickly begin to try and force-multiply where they settle by recruiting locals, which will offer their agencies the benefit of leaving behind a more deeply-rooted asset-organization for exploitation after the migrants are forced out.

Child protective services are seizing children in democrat-run areas if the parents do not actively affirm their child’s chosen gender identity and help them transition. Very startling, given how the American Stasi is out there in the schools, looking to kneecap or hijack children for the conspiracy. The Child Protective Services bitch in the story who is trying to steal the kid, and who keeps saying it is the law and they have to give her the child, has a facebook here, which in its brainless Kamala-support, reminded me instantly of the social media of some of my IRL surveillance followers, who appeared to have social media just to be mindlessly pimping shit like the Kardashians, and The Bachelorette. I got the impression, as long as the conspiracy employs 4-10% of the population as surveillance, it tells them all, as part of their duties, to set up Twitter, Facebook, etc, and post what they are told, so the conspiracy’s assets will trend on the platforms.

You have probably been guided there to keep you busy, while the real government operatives – the ones who want 9/11 in the US, or October 7th in Israel – the ones who move the music festival, with all the harmless little girls, right to where Hamas will be coming through – they serve the conspiracy, which is the real government of the Western world.

Kamala Harris publicly agrees with protestor accusing Israel of genocide: ‘What he’s talking about, it’s real.’ At the same time, were she in the Senate, I would bet on the most critical issues to Israel, when the votes came in, she would vote the way her AIPAC person told her, if it was needed.

Not disputing that, but a whole lot of people were “CIA operatives” and never drew a paycheck from them, and another lot who never knew who they were ultimately working for.

Since its beginning the CIA has relied heavily on “private contractors”, same deal as “fusion centers” – able to do things the CIA was forbidden to do, back when they still pretended to obey the law. Besides contractors, they have organizations they operated as fronts or owned outright, like Air America (and a dozen other airlines), Castle Bank, or Crypto AG. There are also companies they funded and had some financial control over, like Oracle and Cisco. And quite likely a bunch of little fish, set up for a few years, doing some task, and then dismantled.

They use contractors because they’re not subject to FOIA. That’s part of why a lot of things in the UFO world get outsourced to Bigelow Airspace. Although I don’t get why the government is so afraid of FOIA because they ignore most requests anyway. They don’t even respond to Congress, but it’s not like Congress has the balls to cut off their funding.

That was an Israeli fail; they should know better than to share anything critical with the Fed.

Unless it was a test probe to see how exactly leaky the Fed’s security is. But the White House and the upper management of the hundred-odd ‘intelligence’ outfits hate them, so why even bother to run a test?

Third option: they already had a pretty good idea of who was going to leak, and fed them information to eventually leverage them out of their office. Why bother assassinating a foreign official when you can get their own organization to remove them from play? That worked like gangbusters for the KGB in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s.

Trump has been saying a lot of silly shit as he approaches the finish line before the “election”.

My favorite from a week or so ago was that he claimed he was going to kick all of the “Jew haters” out of the country.

He didn’t define what a “Jew hater” was, or how he would kick American citizens who were guilty of hating Jews out of the country, but who cares about facts or consistency at this point.

State militia service, not federal armed forces, must be the basis for any requirement for the vote franchise.
Ohio’s 1851 constitution, offers a useful idea of how these militias were once organized in the states and should be organized again, EXCEPT that today, some tie-in with the elected county sherrifs might be useful, including deputization and issuance of full-auto weaponry and training for its successful operation.
.
See pg 140 of this document to learn how it worked in Ohio back in the day. Notice how the people serving locally elected their leadership, up to a high rank of Major and Brigadier Generals, with the state government appointed other leaders.
https://www.law.csuohio.edu/sites/default/files/lawlibrary/ohioconlaw/1851constitution.pdf
.
These militias were very useful, including forming a sort of structure for various local activities. They would NOT be traveling to foreign battlefields fwiw. The militia system throughout the states was *aborted* to enable conversion to a form that could be shipped, “over there” to The First War To Kill White People.
.
Service in any federal military should not be encouraged, though it should not be denigrated, either.
.
This, combined with return to having Senators appointed by the state legislators will do much to MAGA.
.
People with militia credit should also be excused from property tax on their domocile (but perhaps not on commercial or rental property).

Perhaps not, but if the land is not being used, where does the money for the tax come from? If the property is bringing a commercial profit, then it should be capable of paying a tax, eh? Should commercial activity be taxed? Well, non-commercial activity certainly should not be taxed, should it? Are taxes necessary at all? Maybe those who are able to avoid or evade taxes should be encouraged to do that, while the more naive (or just dull) folk should be left holding the bag — after all, they are less likely to put money to a fun, lucrative, or worthwhile use. What do Anarcho Capitalists think about these issues? How about pirates?

The point is that unused land should not be owned and should be public domain open to homesteading unless some rich person wants to pay for the privilege of keeping a personal tract of hunting land or whatever.
Bill Gates and friends should not be able to play dog in the manger with millions of acres of land in service of their envirocommunism.
The unused property tax is not intended to raise much revenue.

Used land must not be taxed or nobody owns their land, they rent from the government landlord.

Some taxes are necessary for the basic required functions of government.
Taxes should be on consumption rather than production and should be avoidable.
International tariffs are best, interstate tariffs by the final destination state should exist but be limited to some fraction of the international rate.
Excise taxes on the first sale of non-necessities are another acceptable form of tax.

If property taxes somehow can’t be avoided then they should only be on unused land and commercial use property.
At a minimum all primary residences should be exempt.

“Photo shows ballots left unattended in open trunk outside Edina City Hall in Minnesota. Do you leave your car entirely open in a parking lot in town often?”

Wow. So, not only I’ve had to park in that same lot for work before… but I’ve worked in that area, too – really nice Edina homes.. big houses. So, when we were parking our vans for a job (not in that lot – but in the area – we had to make sure to lock our doors every time we step away from it to bring in materials/tools.
Anyway, my point is, is that area is crawling with dudes casing joints… checking door handles. I mean, leaving that hatch way open… and it’s facing the damn street! You pull into the City Hall from 50th St (which is an exit off of Highway 100, a busy enough area), and as you pull into the parking lot… that van would be directly in front of your view pulling in from the street. So, it’s not like it was hidden out of the way or anything. Even more, if you were just driving down the street, you would see that vans hatch wide open if you had a quick glance.
And no, there is no security gate checking people… public parking lot.

That’s a good brief summary, that explains it as well as words can do. Thanks.
Still, words are not the best way to understand something so complicated. A drawing might be helpful. No doubt you have seen sketches of five-pointed stars, with the points labeled as the elements, with arrows showing the cycles of “helping vs hindering.” I think there is a third cycle, as well.
Such illustrations are helpful, but all that I have seen still lack something.
Are you familiar with what they call the Lo-Shu diagram? Supposedly, the entire system developed from it. This is usually presented in the form of a rather strange-looking magic square of 3×3, made from black and white little dots, depending upon whether the number is odd or even: one is a black dot; two is two white dots, three is three black dots; eight is eight white dots; and so on. The dots for each number are linked in a row or a hollow figure, rather than clumped together. Each number is attributed to one of the five elements AND (depending on whether odd or even) to one of the two “organs” ruled by that element.
Notice how complicated that description is, yet a quick glance at the graphic diagram will be enough to grasp its construction and a bit of contemplation will bring more detailed understanding.
.
The old Chinese version of the Lo Shu diagram is still not as clear as it might be, in my opinion. There is a good image of the Lo Shu here:
https://plus.maths.org/content/maths-magic-squares-0

Anyhow, given how blatantly fake the Rockefeller/Rothschild so-called medical system is, if the TCM five elements system could be made more easily graspable, wouldn’t that be helpful in de-clawing big Pharma? As in…if you can understand this, you may maintain or regain your health AND if you can understand it even a little bit, this will help you in finding someone who knows how to use it?
.
Any ideas or pointers? I have come up with an improved Lo Shu (maybe), but am wondering how to incorporate the star points and text into it. All my stuff is open source, or whatever you care to term it.

“Trump says he wants no taxes on the military, police and firemen.”

I see this one upset some other commentators, and I’m autistic enough that my first reaction was completely wrong. I still have problems with normie communication.

My first reaction was that the government providing income (salaries, pensions, benefits) to someone and then taxing the money back was the equivalent of pulling a twenty dollar bill from one pocket and moving it to another pocket.

Then I realized that Trump was actually promising to give more money to “military, police, and firemen”, and that is how everyone is interpreting it. He isn’t promising to lower the salaries by a third and not tax the remaining salary.

Police and firemen have unions that are important in elections, and they are very open to supporting Republican candidates.

By the way, Karl Denninger’s post this morning on market-ticker.org on “fiscal reality” is one of his better ones.

Allistic people are retarded. Just give up on any logical communication/dialectic. Obviously you shouldn’t tax government employees or any other kind of welfare people that’s insane and backwards and bureaucratic.

Somehow, I think most(maybe virtually all?) allistic people cannot even think one or two layers of abstraction. Especially if they don’t consume enough calories/carbs/sugar. Which is very strange, since I am not all that technical and my memory is not anywhere near exceptional, but 3-4 layers of abstraction is very easy for me. But somehow people who are very detailed at the 0th/1st layer of abstraction just can’t think logically(at higher layers) to save their life. I basically barely think detailed at all.

He’s in Florida dealing with the mess and it appears he will be deployed away from home, so I’m assuming that means not in Florida and probably not due to the Hurricane Aftermath.

Serious thought experiment here: are we at the “fuck your orders, I ain’t deploying nowhere” phase yet? Full on draft resistance? Is there a cause worth taking the risk of actually doing some good left, or is it all evil in that context?

We see the meat-grinder of Ukraine. We see that the demons here really really want to get in there and kill some young american men. How can you ever assure your “temporary” deployment to “peacetime” operations won’t end up with you being parachuted into a minefield and told to figure it out?

Way back before 9/11 you’d frequently see people online refer to the two world wars as “The first and second wars to kill White people.” I haven’t seen that term used for ages. It deserves to become mainstream.

I think the % of good causes are getting shockingly few, if they were not always that way.

In those cases, you almost always are still just fine/better off just surrendering those fights, fleeing, and potentially returning later and likely just winning the fights later diplomatically/politically.

Maybe the closest to a good cause was the Russian cause for Russians.
