First, thanks to Vox for bringing the select subcommittee’s report to my attention.

A quick read of it has lots of truths with some glaring bullshit as a topping.

The Select Subcommittee developed extensive findings, some of which include:

1) The U.S. National Institutes of Health funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

2) The Chinese government, agencies within the U.S. Government, and some members of the international scientific community sought to cover-up facts concerning the origins of the pandemic.

3) Operation Warp Speed was a tremendous success and a model to build upon in the future.
The vaccines, which are now probably better characterized as therapeutics, undoubtedly saved millions of lives by diminishing likelihood of severe disease and death.

4) Rampant fraud, waste, and abuse plagued the COVID-19 pandemic response.

5) Pandemic-era school closures will have enduring impact on generations of America’s children and these closures were enabled by groups meant to serve those children.

6) The Constitution cannot be suspended in times of crisis and restrictions on freedoms sow distrust in public health.

7) The prescription cannot be worse than the disease, such as strict and overly broad lock-downs that led to predictable anguish and avoidable consequences.

These cunts are still running cover for the cabal. Really annoying they’re still pimping these death shots.

The Office of the Prosecutor General of the Republic (PGR) in Brazil has submitted a request to the Supreme Federal Court (STF) to dissolve the Liberal Party (PL), the largest opposition party to President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s (PT) government and the party of former President Jair Bolsonaro

The request was sent to the Strategic Group for Combating Anti-Democratic Acts, which, together with the Court, coordinates investigations and actions related to this issue.

The motion, filed by federal deputy André Janones (Avante-MG), alleges that the country “has been the target of successive attacks and threats originating from and encouraged by leaders and members of the Liberal Party.”

“The continuation of the practices of the Liberal Party poses a direct threat to democratic order and social peace. Support for discourses undermining institutional credibility, culminating in acts of violence, requires decisive intervention to preserve the stability of the Democratic Rule of Law!”

Janones’ press office stated that the case will likely be reviewed by Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who has handled similar cases, including those related to the January 8 events, and is known to be a public adversary of Jair Bolsonaro.

Yesterday I was reading some excerpts from Hunter Biden’s texts circa 2018. I think they were pulled from his laptop files.

Anyway, he was messaging Hallie Biden (dead brother’s wife) complaining about how she left him stranded on some interstate in Delaware late one night. I think they went out for a drug buy and got in an argument.

He called a dealer to pick him up but in his text he whines

“Do you know the state you left me in? You know I was tripping on ayahuasca but then the dealer told me he just got in some peyote so I did that too. How could you do this to me?”

Are you kidding me? Taking peyote while you’re on ayahuasca? Not to mention the crack they’re smoking non-stop. Insanity.

I couldn’t read any further. This retard’s messages are headache inducing. No accountability for anything. Always someone else’s fault for him being a fuck-up. It’s not just him either. Everyone in his family competes to be the biggest victim. All of their texts are like this.

I hate these fucking people. They’re worthless trash whose only talent is debasing themselves for bigger elites so they can be controlled. It’s why he films everything.

Hunter graduated from Yale Law School for fucks sake. Let’s you know how absolutely worthless those Ivy League degrees really are.

These are our rulers mind you. It’s why this country has turned to shit over our lifetimes. They’d sell out their closest relatives for a hit of crack.

Something to share here: Have not seen it with my own eyes yet, general word thru the grapevine, is a supposed drone which at night can be seen hovering and shifting position above an almost unpopulated area near a mile and a half from my property. Two local meth heads first stopped by, they are pretty jazzed up about it, thats how i first heard, they are rather paranoid, but nobody else from what i hear has any idea, but than its got drone flying characteristics, is seen from elevated locations, hovering for a spell, than quickly shifting small distances, in a pattern which repeats all night.
It is creepy to all, but not unexpected, as we suffered a few years of Ukrainian gangstalkers operating from two different camps, (they mostly vehicular surveilled around the small town nearest to our rural neighborhood, being notoriously obnoxious driving their vehicles with remote operated exhaust cut-outs, ran foot coverage in the box store parking lots, did the usual supermarket thing, what appeared to be glowie supervisors in control, all the various intimidation shit, to disturb the small town peace and quite), set up on isolated wood lots, they all abruptly left as a group November of 21, not seen hide nor hair of since, but this drone hovers over one of their locations they had set their family enclaves on. Occasionally quite obvious glowies driving high end side by sides visit the empty enclaves. But no one is aware of their motives aside from they too are definitely outsiders, they all run LED lighted long whip antenna’s, each having their own unique colors, guess for recognition. Never see any locals with those on their atv’s.
Though the last year they have become increasingly absent for longer and longer periods of time. It is noticeable by its absence, not a surveillance vehicle to be seen either, been around 6-8 months now, and I mean it is very different here without that stupid bullshit going on. There is a local state wide fuel station stop and go franchise where they took their breaks, filled their vehicles, etc, now the places are like ghost towns when you drive by. Lot of things are noticeable by their absence.
Wonder if others on here notice this in rural/small village areas, and what it portends? If it all returns now it will be something you can spot on the dime, really gonna be obvious. Amazing how many worked for IT just in this rural farm location, easily outnumbering the local population.
Is it possible they run out of operating finds maybe? Has to be high costs fueling so many vehicles multiple times daily, plus the other costs, and payroll too. And for what? Everyone pretty much minds their business and prefer to be left alone, the constant surveillance seems pointless, sure requires lots of resources and manpower.

It may be a seasonal thing, where people inflow an area during a summer, or winter in ski country, not just pass through tourists but second home types who loiter there a long time. Work from home enables it and boomers or more affluent types can be like snow birds on these patterns. This pattern, and many of these types which are elevated in financial or mobility status because of cabal connections will be used to exploit the numerical amounts of these people to flood an area and build up a Intel profile on everything and then hand it off to an off season overwatch of their normal local intels to watch the graveyard so to speak. Cabal can then press these groups to another area for that season and swarm things there. Similar to a police tactic of mobbing a bad crime area and swarming everything scooping up obvious stuff and scattering away all of the other criminals. They leave when things are calmed down and orderly, and go hit another crappy neighborhood needing attention. Seems like a cold war mentality tactic, but it maybe useful or pertinent to their operations for specific areas or targets.

“To safeguard a liberal South Korea from the threats posed by North Korea’s communist forces and to eliminate anti-state elements… I hereby declare emergency martial law,” Yoon said in a live televised address to the nation.

The good news is that when you are pardoned, you cannot refuse to testify to something because you could incriminate yourself. Now there is no way he can’t be forced to testify — and he isn’t pardoned for a new perjury.
Update: Should have kept reading to the Heritage quote. Also, if it’s so obvious that both of us immediately realized it, did the White House?

My wife is Canadian, and they are definitely not all hardcore socialist, Alberta least of all. Millions of Canadians feel completely unrepresented by the current political parties, and feel overwhelmed by mass immigration from the third world.

Much like legacy Americans, they feel lost, even dispossessed, in their own country.

The “jackasses” in Quebec conquered that territory, and settled it in 1608, only one year after Jamestown, so if they want to speak French like their forefathers, they can do that.
All that being said, we don’t need to burden ourselves with Canada’s problems. They need to figure it out themselves.

I laugh every time I see “stealth destroyer.” “Stealth” is like “turbo” was in the 1980s; a meaningless spiff word designed to attract the attention of appropriations committees.

You can spot a “stealth” destroyer from orbit; it’s “stealth” against, what?

The US Navy has three of them for some reason. They were supposed to have some kind of fancy radar system that was never built, and some 155mm semiautomatic guns which did get built… but no ammunition was ever delivered. And those are just the top of a long, long list of failures, no-shows, and scale-backs.

You’re right that “stealth” is an overused buzzword. They started building ships with no right angles which is supposed to reduce the ship’s RADAR profile. It can’t eliminate it, but there are few flat surfaces for a RADAR signal to bounce back off of. The Arleigh Burke destroyers aren’t too bad, but they built some amphib with the same philosophy. I find them really ugly. It’s like they asked an AI to design a ship with no consideration for whether or not humans had to look at it. Freaking “modern art” Naval architecture.

I was on a Spruance class destroyer in the 90’s. After our last yard visit, they coated the ship in some kind of padding that was supposed to be RADAR absorbent. Painting it required a special certification, so the good news was I never had to paint our exterior spaces again since I didn’t get said certification. I have no data on whether it worked or not.

Stalin wanted to send all the Ukrainians to Siberia for being German collaborators at the beginning of WWII. (at the very beginning, the Ukes welcomed the Wehrmacht as liberators, but they were soon disillusioned. Pissed Stalin off something fearful, though)

The USSR simply didn’t have the transport capacity to do that in the 1940s, so they had to settle for shipping away as many as they could, replacing all the leets with ethnic Russians, and relocating as many Russians into Ukraine as possible.

The amusing thing is, the Rus were from Ukraine to start with, Norse conquerors ruling from Kiev. They kept conquering toward the east, and moved the capitol to a more central location, eventually settling in Moscow, though the Tsars always kept a palace in Kiev. Now, of course, Russia extends all the way to the Pacific Ocean, and Moscow is far to the west side of the contry. No sense moving it further east; there’s not much there other than mud and trees.

I also recently learned that, not only the Ukrainians, but (if I recall) also the Austrians and Polish were ‘liberated’ by the Germans at the onset of WWII and experienced religious freedom for some 2 years before Stalin’s red army came through. And even when the red army pushed westward and the Germans had to retreat, citizens also followed and retreated with the Germans. They certainly won’t teach you that in school.
The whole Ukraine/Rus thing is pretty interesting. I used to work on cruise ships a long time ago, which was boasted of having 100 some different nationalities all working in the same place – which is probably not far off from the truth – and there were Ukrainians and Russians working together, and there was never any resentment towards each other, that I knew of at least… and I recall they all hung out with each other, too. I also remember even having a conversation with a Ukrainian dude in the crew bar bragging about how “Russia is best at everything”… and began listing off names of scientists, musicians, artists, authors… etc. And this is coming from a Ukrainian. Not only that, I’ve heard Armenians, Georgians even… boast about Russian culture.
Now, I thought that interview with Putin had with Tucker Carlson was something else. I’m sure a lot of people were board to tears with it, hoping for some sensational sound bites. What I found pretty extraordinary from Putin was describing the inner disposition of Russians, or I’d even say more accurately, the Slavic Soul, which I would say encompasses more than just Russian nationals, and I think Putin said this elsewhere (not in the video below), that Ukranians and Russians have a similar ‘soul’ – and this could also be in relation to Orthodox Christianity. But anyway, this disposition is way different than in westerners.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dC8NjLtCt8
And to have an idea of what he’s talking about, if it sounds too vague an abstract… look to the ‘high art’ that comes from there… I would even call it sacred. Like Tchaikovsky’s hymn of the Cherubim:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPlK5HwFxcw
I’ve heard other recordings done of this, and it is not the same at all. It’s slightly faster tempo, and it feels forced and not natural. But coming right from the land of Rus, straight from Russians, it’s endemic to their inner culture.
Or hear something more modern, still, Russians singing in an Orthodox Church. Again, I’ve heard this same song done by Americans, and it pales in comparison. One cannot replicate the soul of a whole group. And it’s amazing to me, that even after the Russian, and I’d say the whole Slavic world, suffered from communism in the last century, lived in a hellish nightmare, they came out of it and are still in touch with their humanity and divinity.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDPtlQnb42o
This is why I cannot even fathom there being a war with this country, by way of supporting a corrupt govt. Ukraine while slaughtering their own people (all of which many Westerners seem to support), when clearly they have a lot to offer.
Happy listening. God Bless.

I worry about his personal security.

The DGSE would be the French equivalent of the US SS, but they’ve been caught doing kidnapping and murder, as was their predecessor organization SDECE. Don’s personal security would have zero jurisdiction or authority in France, so he’d be largely dependent on the SS working with the DGSE.

In his place I’d be paranoid enough not to take any flight without a fighter escort. The web says you can pick up a MANPAD portable antiaircraft missile for a few thousand bucks in the Middle East. But even if it’s a million bucks, there are plenty of people who would willingly pay up to see him dead.

French government headed for collapse as Le Pen backs no confidence vote against PM Barnier.

I researched this. Its a legitimate political development in Europe but a bit complicated.

France has a parliamentary system disguised as a presidential system. The National Assembly can fire the government (motion de censure) but in practice never does. The government can announce that it is instituting new laws and dare the National Assembly to vote no confidence in them, and has done so several times since Macron lost his majority in the National Assembly in 2022. They just did this again and Marine Le Pen is taking them up on the dare. The government can still survive if the country club republicans, called the Republicans, and the globalist Socialists and Greens, which have been cooperating with the populist left Melanchon faction up to now, back them.

But pair this with the collapse of the German government’s majority in its legislature, which by itself probably won’t amount to that because the “opposition” CDU completely supports the Davos/ Bilderburg/ Project Ukraine agenda, and there are more cracks in their control of Europe. I still think there is a big counter-move coming and we will just have to wait and see what it is.

Vox Day posted about the firing of the Chicago Bears coach supposedly for incompetence, and my immediate thought was that this man was just doing his job, he was instructed to make all these bad decisions, and probably wanted out and a new gig was arranged for him, or he got paid enough and saved enough to just stay home for awhile.

Brian Tuohy has been winding down his site, thefixisin.net, after his book with the same name was published, but weighed in and his take is worth reposting:

“So, imagine you are the Chicago Bears. You lose to the Commanders because of a botched Hail Mary. You lose to the Packers because of a blocked field goal. You lose to the Vikings in overtime. Then, your head coach can’t figure out the clock, or doesn’t realize you have a time out remaining, or both, and you lose to the first place Lions because of plain ol’ idiocy. Due to these comes (and two other bad losses), you then fire your head coach because, well, it’s all his fault.

“The Bears could be 8-4 right now, or maybe at least 6-6. But one play in each of the Washington, Green Bay, and Lions game helped direct the Bears to their current state of being.

“ONE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN A GAME.

“This is the thing that NFL fans understand, yet they seemingly don’t. “Well, that penalty was big, but it didn’t cost us the game.” Yes, it did. At that point, at that moment in the game, it altered the outcome. Quit lying to yourself.

“Another example: in the Thanksgiving night game between the Dolphins and Packers. The Packers got the ball to start the game, went three and out, and punted. The Dolphins return-man dropped the punt, and the Packers recovered inside the Dolphins 10-yard line. I knew the game was over right there. That one play, even though it was only the fourth (fifth if you count the opening kickoff) play of the game, altered the outcome and swung the game in the Packers’ favor, never to return. I don’t care that there were 50+ minutes left in the game. It was over.

“And that’s how easy it can be to fix one of these things. One penalty. One dropped pass. One fumble. The momentum changes, and boom, the game’s decided.

“Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Football games can be won or lost in one play. And that play doesn’t have to be the last one in the game.”

Taken in context to the YUGE! amount of money wagered on these games just legally through casinos, betting parlors etc there is ample incentive. Billions of dollars of incentives to “manipulate a game”. Betting money on organized sports (any) is a sucker’s bet. Even the horses and greyhounds at the track are befuddled by the humans manipulating a simple running around a track race competition.

Also a Vox Day post, about the COVID operation.

After the Republicans gains a narrow majority in the federal House of Representatives, they had a subcommittee investigate COVID. The chairman was a Congressman from Cincinnati who is a doctor, a Colonel in the US Army Reserves, and took a lot of pharma money as campaign contributions, so I didn’t expect much.

But apparently the subcommitee did dig up some dirt and Vox described it and posted a helpful link to their report, which I just downloaded. I don’t think its anything people lurking here didn’t already know, but its helpful to get this information in one place:

I’m going to amend my previous post, about the House of Representative COVID subcommitee.

I went to the Wikipedia page, and the subcomittee was set up by Nancy Pelosi, and seems to have been a “get Trump” operation. They were set up to hound Trump on causing COVID or something. They had it chaired by the Democratic Whip, and McCarthy appointed the number #2 Republican as ranking member. During the months McCarthy was Speaker, he put in Brad Weinstrup as chairman, converted the committee into a more normal oversight committee, and brought in Marjorie Taylor Greene and Ronny Jackson. The Democrat who was the new ranking member is also a doctor and hasn’t done much to distinguish him, but seems to have cooperated with the revised mandate.

McCarthy should have taken the same approach with the January 6th committee and probably would still be Speaker if he had done so. Anyway here is the Wikipedia page:

MIKE BENZ: “Every single aspect of Ukrainian society is controlled by US democratic institutions.”

“Zelenskyy‘s first month in office he was given a threat letter by the US state department and 70 state funded NGOs ordering him not to cross the below listed redlines otherwise there will be political instability in your country. The irony is that political instability in the country caused by the state department is the reason why Zelenskyy is in power in the first place. They gave him red lines on every single aspect of what he could do as President:

security redlines, cultural redlines, energy policy redlines.

For example he couldn’t allow the use of Russian language to be aired on any Ukrainian media channels. This was done in order to pry the country off of the Russian ethnic faction. This is the long arm of the CIA and state department telling Ukrainians how they can live in their own country. It was all this that ultimately gave rise to the Burisma scandal.

Every aspect of Ukrainian society is controlled by US democratic institutions.”
