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.

There are little things which niggle at you when you hear them, little nuances of stories which you feel don’t quite fit, but which you let slide, because the import is not entirely clear. But still, they bubble up again and again in your mind until you resolve them. Vox Day once told the story of his first day at Kindergarten, where they all had to wear little broaches of construction paper cut into the silhouettes of their favorite dinosaurs. The teacher came up to him, and looked at his Allosaurus, and commented, “What a nice Triceratops!” Vox wrote he promptly wrote off any possibility of her being of any use.
That story always irritated me. I believe it happened. I had several similar experiences. But I do not think it was as it appeared. How many here know what a Triceratops is? It is in the name. TRI-ceratops. TRI because it is three horns. You cannot learn the name without being presented with an amygdala-stimulating, memory-forming, unique fact, that once even vaguely touched, will cement itself in your brain. Three horns, on a four legged animal that looked like a Rhinoceros. Once you see the horns, you imagine them being used and see the bipedal Allosaurus attacking, and the Triceratops charging like a raging bull, trying to ram it and impale it’s stomach with the three horns. It is in movies. It is in books. It is the first thing you learn, and the image is so striking you cannot see it without the name being burned into your mind for the rest of your life. I would bet almost all of us immediately see a picture in our head when we hear, “Triceratops,” complete with four legs and three horns. This teacher had to have at least a passing knowledge of the subject. The level of stupidity to say “Triceratops” when confronted with something that had the bipedal silhouette of a “T-Rex” seems a lower probability solution, requiring an IQ so low and a memory so poor it would seem inconsistent with her being a teacher of any kind. Could she really have not known what a T-Rex looked like, or what a Triceratops was, when she initiated a dinosaur-themed event for her kids each year?
Before there would have been no other possible interpretation. But now, suppose Vox had been marked, even at that age, as a target of interest. Suppose they were curious, as to how he would respond to such an obvious mistake by an authority. Would he care that she was wrong, and vociferously correct her because he cared what she thought? Would he cede to her authority and question himself? Would he not know? Or would he furrow his little eyebrows, look askance at this moron, purse his lips, and turn away with disdain, to look for someone more worthy of his time, without saying a word, or evincing any care at all she was a moron? Each of those responses would be a highly probative piece of data to include in his file, and could be quite predictive of whether or not he was going to grow up into a problem. He did say he got the Googolplex test as well, I presume later on, so they were in his school, and they were looking. And amusingly today, Vox does not chase Wikipedia, or Simon and Schuster, or Marvel, or other “authorities,” and whine and bitch at them, that they are wrong. He turns away in disdain, and builds his own platforms with people worth his time. It is almost an ingrained response you could have seen when he was six or seven, if you knew how to look. It might be the most dangerous type of psychology, which they would want to ID early. And they just may have known how to look.
I am telling you, public schools may have as many spies per capita as the jails – teachers, administrators, security, aides, administration, and even the kids – and they know who the problem children they need to get on top of are and they are working to do it from the earliest point of contact. It is going to blow people’s minds.

From here: “Jovan Hutton Pulitzer’s Arizona Audit team has revealed the exact algorithm that was used to change the 2020 election. They tested it 500,000 times without any error so they are 100 percent certain it is correct.” Also, in Maricopa, 95% of the mail-in ballots received prior to election day had legible matched signatures, while 95% of the mail-ins received after election day had illegible signatures that didn’t match. And the real results were Trump winning, 59.47% – 41.173%.
Tommy Robinson posts a video exposing threats and stalking by grooming gangs — including a threat to kidnap and rape his children. Lots more news on all the action going on around Tommy at this link, including the fire-bombing of his car. He has a new video coming out on the Grooming Gangs titled, “The Rape of Britain,” which appears to have the rape networks and their supporters in the conspiracy freaking out.

Johnny Depp to probe whether Elon Musk fathered Amber Heard’s baby amid claims they created embryos together back when they dated. In truth, if she was going to have some faggy, psychologically questionable, midwitted, at best, kid with Depp, or a maybe smart kid with Elon, what do you think she would do? The only question is if Elon is actually smart, or if he is just playing a role. I tend to think they don’t let the smart ones have any sort of resources or power, for fear they might try to make a move and take over.

Satanic ritual altar found in captured Ukrainian territory, apparently used by the Nazis.
Coach Redpill, AKA Gonzalo Lira is missing in Ukraine, and assumed to have been murdered by Nazis for not towing the Cabal line. If you are going to play the game, one, you need to recognize your surveillance. Two, you need to be paranoid to the extreme. Three, you need to accept they may come for you, and whatever happens when that happens. And four, you had better create circumstances where they know if they come, you at least have a decent chance of killing someone among those they send, and they should know you would enjoy it on your way out. It doesn’t need to be a good chance either. Anybody who does anything involving conflict, even just street fighting, will know that in those hectic moments when the conflict happens, things can and will go wrong. Kimbo Slice once showed up for a fight, the guy he was supposed to fight couldn’t fight, and a 175lb 20 year old alternate who hadn’t prepared to fight him, got bumped up to fight him on the spot, and everyone assumed he would get smashed. The bell rang, Kimbo came in looking to kill, the kid put up a front pushkick on Kimbo’s hip to just pause him, and then tapped Kimbo on the temple with a hook, and Kimbo was out. The fight was over in a few seconds.
Anybody who is planning to come for you, is going to be thinking that if you have even a 1% chance of killing somebody on their crew before they get you, if everything goes perfect, you just might wipe out their entire crew through dumb luck when ti happens for real and stuff just naturally goes wrong. It can buy you space. But Gonzalo was not the type of guy I would expect to survive. He was getting bumped around by his surveillance, who were getting him kicked out of hotels, and then having offers just magically appear on his phone from “friends” to stay at what sounded like prepped intel safehouses with the keys in lockboxes outside, where I would bet he even ate food from the fridge (after going online and marveling at what good luck he had to have had the place just appear right when he needed it, and be just five minutes away). You cannot be like that. What he needed was lots of cash, disguises, complete with facial prosthetics, wigs, facial hair, and makeup kits, weapons, a little bit of a hunger to take a life if the opportunity arose, and extreme paranoia. Even then though he was shoveling shit against the tide. He should have taken off for the Crimea, and done his stuff from there until things settled down. As much as our media attacks the Russians, I suspect they are pretty reasonable. I would bet I could insult Putin here, take the side of Ukraine in this conflict, and still travel to Russia as a tourist and come back alive. Going to a lawless Cabal hotspot with outright Nazis like Ukraine and opposing them in any way is a different matter entirely. It does please me when I think about how the readers of this site are in the top .0001% of survivability in that environment globally, just through knowing how things work in this world, whether they got that here, or already had it and that was what brought them here. Everyone here is so far beyond everyone else it is not even funny.
Britain to send Stormer armoured missiles to Ukraine in move that ‘will anger Putin.’ They are playing a dangerous game, not even so much because they are pissing off Putin, but because they are giving us a potent ally to align with against them, while they are in a weakened position.

With the horrible Subway Shootings and Violent Crime in New York being at an all-time high, where people are afraid to walk the streets, the racist and highly partisan Attorney General of New York State, failed Gubernatorial candidate Letitia James, should focus her efforts on saving the State of New York and ending its reputation as a Crime Capital of the World, instead of spending millions of dollars and utilizing a large portion of her office in going after Donald J. Trump and the Trump Organization (for many years!), who have probably done more for New York than virtually any other person or group, including employing many wonderful people and paying millions and millions of dollars in taxes. This never-ending Witch Hunt must stop. We don’t need racist political hacks going after good, hardworking people for highly partisan political gain. The people of our Country see right through it all, and won’t take this Radical Left “sickness” anymore. Make New York Great Again!
04/17/22
Happy Easter to failed gubernatorial candidate and racist Attorney General Letitia James. May she remain healthy despite the fact that she will continue to drive business out of New York while at the same time keeping crime, death, and destruction in New York!
04/17/22
Happy Easter to all including the Radical Left Maniacs who are doing everything possible to destroy our Country. May they not succeed, but let them, nevertheless, be happy, healthy, wealthy, and well!
“Democrats are shifting committee hearings toward trying to claim President Trump attempted a coup with the Stop the Steal Rally on Jan 6th, just before the Capitol protests.”
Let this be a lesson to all here, whether you do or do not they will accuse you of it and attack you. Whether you cross the Rubicon or not, you will be prosecuted and attacked for crossing the Rubicon. It’s a very good lesson in power dynamics when dealing with “them”. It should motivate you to more fully understand the motivations of every rebel, revolutionary, dictator and claimant throughout history. Cross the Rubicon, or die.
“Cross the Rubicon, or die.”
This is a skewer of President Trump. All sorts of people are complaining that President Trump failed in crossing the Rubicon…
…But WITH WHAT FORCES?????????????????
Ceasar had a battle hardened legion, THE ARMY, behind him!
What did Trump have??????????????/
ABSOLUTELY FUCK NOTHING!
Mark Esper-Defense Secretary, Lebanese like Justin Amash—wasn’t going to back him!
Globohomo General Marx Karl Milley wasn’t going to back him!
Jewish Catholic Globalist pig Robert Barr wasn’t going to back him!
And his own VP, traitorous rat bastard, Prot Christian, “I got Jesus”, Mike Pence, literally stabbed him in the back!!!
When YOU CROSS THE RUBICON—you have to have MILITARY FORCE, or a JUSTICE FORCE. If President Trump wrote an executive order—who was going to obey it??????????
Fuck NOBODY! Today, there is NO majority of Republicans that take up the Vote was Stolen! They all run away. NOT even is OWN party stood up for him! NOT Mitch McConnell!
If you cross the Rubicon, there Idealist, Romantic, you need somebody behind you carrying the sword!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Somebody has got to have the firepower!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Trump had JACK-shit!
It was NOT Trump’s fault. And Trump could NOT have fixed it. The vast majority of Americans have already been “socially conditioned” to be Traitorous Rat Bastards!
I’ve stopped watching anything on Fox News and just watch the enemy channels, MSNBC or CNN. At least they are honest with their evil. I’m amazed on how many, the huge amount, of top-dog retired American generals and other officers that have this Marxist narrative, this PutinisHitler charade. The US Military is cucked. Trump couldn’t do nothing—because he had NO, NO, NO support within the Fed government!
You have to have the Culture–the Mass, already educated, to Cross the Rubicon —– *****WITH*****. Rex—you have to have the preliminaries, a fort of strength, before anyone “Crosses the Rubicon”. Ceasar had that—Trump had fuck-nothing.
What have I been harping on for the longest time here on AC, It is the Culture; It is a Culture of Virtue that must be in place. Caesar had Loyal troops committed to him personally and MORE in the North that he could call upon! The Culture was there that permitted Caesar to Cross the Rubicon. Culture.
To “Cross the Rubicon”, requires a FORCE. Hitler created that Force in the Weimar with a totally new party that opposed the Communists. He created the Culture, So he could Cross the Rubicon! Trump’s Republican Party was full of Traitorous Rat Bastards. You can’t go to war with Traitorous Rat Bastards.

Trump had support. More than most can fathom. Vox Day has discussed it at length.
I hear your frustration and I share it. I read these various blog sites where the commentors cheer on Ukraine and NATO as the valiant heroes against imperialist Russian aggression. Yet these warmongering monsters paid no attention to what was happening in Ukraine until this year. They are going to get us all killed with their loose talk about escalation, using nukes, and regime change in Russia.
Being in the same country with them is like living in an apartment complex with a bunch of drug dealers. Eventually you know some rival gang is going to shoot up the place or some idiot meth cooker is going to burn the whole place down. You just hope you aren’t home on the day it happens.
“He does, after all, have not one, but two, “office” Barrett 82A1s.”
Wait, you don’t have a pair of Barrett’s for the office? I thought everyone in Texas did.
It is for the best. It is not impossible I’d have taken down a bunch of aviation surveillance units by now.
“Say hello to my leetle fren!”
It’s referred to as a “brace” of Barretts.
My apologies. You live and you learn.
Sweet Jesus, one of those is heavy enough.
why do they call it a brace?
A pair of firearms has traditionally been called a brace, going back to dueling pistols.
You’re not a real chad until you dual mount them to a custom frame and jury rig a trigger bar to simultaneously fire both off of one binary trigger.
“The U.S. supply of natural gas is vastly depleted.”
Not the reserves, just the storage. Biden won’t let us get it out of the ground.
“From here: “China’s influence operations have reached the top of the U.S. military, as well as its training organizations. A deleted newsletter reveals that a Dean from the U.S. National Defense University led a delegation to a Chinese Communist Party think-tank labeled as a “front group for Chinese intelligence collection and overseas spy recruitment” by the FBI, The National Pulse can reveal.”“
China girls and money. Never trust a dude with yellow-fever and new toys, even if he’s in a uniform.
I agree, it feels like the flood of media portraying White dudes with Asian girls is a plank of this platform to nudge the social needle in a direction more favorable for the Chinese in general. We know they use sex and spies together frequently, so it makes sense.
“Coach Redpill, AKA Gonzalo Lira is missing in Ukraine, and assumed to have been murdered by Nazis for not towing the Cabal line.”
Shills are saying this picture is from his torture and execution video, which may eventually be released. Can anyone confirm if that is true or if the pic is from somewhere else?
A reverse search on google turns up some foot fetish bondage site having the same picture. There is no date on the post, but I think it less likely a picture of his feet would show up on a bondage site within a day of the pic showing on 4chan, or wherever, and more likely some shitposter on 4chan would be a foot fetishist, and grab the pic from one of his regular haunts to troll people.
Sometimes, people can have an almost sixth sense which disrupts plans like this, so it is not impossible he picked up on what was coming almost as if by chance (if it was just random assholes trying to get him and not officially sanctioned cabal-operations)and was able to slip away and is laying low. Though he seems so naive I would think he would feel he has to post to his fans and update people. Time will tell.
If he was killed, I am not sure there would be a video. Clearly if there was, Kiev would try to catch it before it was released, and shut it down.
If he was killed, I hope that bitch who did the article gets blowback. I hope the one who is trying to out Libs of Tictock gets fucked too.
It is, indeed, a fake picture — perpetrated by the immature losers of /pol/, the same unobservants who call GL a “boomer” and who welcome violence. What can you expect from a public swimming pool of degeneracy and propaganda. They don’t even really get the news anymore, which was the one reason it was a place worth monitoring while holding your nose. But we have this board and I appreciate the tight moderation.
One of the people on the ground there did make a boast post on twitter and did brag about a video before deleting their account.
GL had a plan and his Good Friday capture will undoubtedly have all sorts of repercussions. I am watching in earnest as the word gets out that an American civilian was tortured and killed in the most brutal manner imaginable. I don’t appreciate some of his foul language, which was getting to be almost one step away from Gerald Celente’s crude and stupid nuttiness, but GL was certainly a public intellectual and like what he had to say or not, he was one smart dude.
“I would bet I could insult Putin here, take the side of Ukraine in this conflict, and still travel to Russia as a tourist and come back alive.”
Example, this girl is a Russian dissident who is anti Putin. No one stops her from making Youtube videos, and no one will stop her from leaving Russia. No jail time either. Russia actually has a degree of free speech, where as in the West, free speech is in decline. Regardless of what you feel about free speech a population should be able to discuss ideas and individuals come to their own conclusions given the facts. Humans aren’t bees or ants. Violently purging everyone who disagrees with you is no way to run a society or garner loyalty. Russians seem to understand this, Ukrainians have not, and this precedes February.

She did a brief student exchange in the States and here on her lucrative YT channel explains Russia to “Westerners;” and she knows that, once all Russian YT channels are cancelled (or demonetized at best), she will revert to being a nobody in Russia’s Far East. This is her big chance to take her virtual Rolodex and claim refugee status in the West, where Tall Anglo Chads are just waiting to be plucked. She has done the math, is in her prime, and who can blame her?
She looks so washed up now. I enjoyed her channel back when it was Yeah Russia but couldn’t shake how leftist she was.
Some virile healthy young man needs to buy this young woman a couple of double bacon cheeseburgers with a super sized order of fries and a chocolate malt. After a few orders of that she might be coming around to a healthy frame of mind.
True, no offense to the Russians of the far East, but this woman sounds deprived of a strong male presence in her life.

Might interest some here, Adrian Paul (Duncan MacLeod in the Highlander TV series) at about 10 seconds in a grey vehicle reverses as if on cue, and then takes a left towards his car. Could just be coincidence but it has a staged or orchestrated look to it. Incidentally, his whole channel is great fun, I was a bit afraid he was part of the Hollywood Cabal as he founded a NGO to “help” children, perhaps he is, but he comes across as a nice and normal person on his videos (though, of course, he’s an actor). He doesn’t have the “stink” of some in Hollywood, and his relatively low-level career suggests he never did anything too heinous.
Yeah, and he would be hauling along that alley, as all the other cars are caught in traffic, so they might be scrambling to get somebody along his path to get a look at him as he passes to keep an eye on him.

Supreme Court Rejects Appeal From Airman Removed from Command Over Refusing to Get Vaccinated – Amy Coney Barrett and Kavanaugh Side with Liberal Justices
Could Trump have done any WORSE on SC Justice selections?
After Gorsuch, Trump couldnt be allowed to completely derail the Agenda with a truly Originalist court so the Federalist Society fed him Kavanaugh and ACB. Both are just as comped as Roberts. Now there’s 3 shills on SCOTUS to demoralize us instead of just Roberts.
I’ve said it before. I’d bet big money that she pulled a train of black football players while at ND or something similar. ND girls are liberal that way. Not Catholic though. What has she done that forced her to vortue signal by adopting pickannnies from Haiti?
“…at least five other witnesses … invoked (or indicated their intent to invoke) their right against self-incrimination.”
Nobody else ever seems to notice this, and it really annoys me. It’s a perfect example of how the people are trained to think what – and how – our Masters want them to think. What the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution actually says: “No person … shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself….” Not a word about “self-incrimination”. The purpose of the Fifth Amendment is not to allow bad people to play games, but to rein in – at least a little – the State’s overwhelming power.
But if anybody ever cites the Fifth Amendment in court, the sheeple automatically assume that person must be guilty of whatever offense is being alleged in the case.
They know what they’re doing, and they’re expert at it; they’ve been lawyers since Genesis. So long as the people fall for their tricks, they’ll be the Masters.
It will get harsh; but many of us in hte US will welcome the Russians when they destroy Washington D.C, the Cabal, and the elites in their bunkers.
As for gonzalo Lira: he had a wife (Ukrainian) and young kids in Kharkov. I hope they are OK.
That probably explains it. He could have in all liklihood covered the conflict from Lviv or from Belgograd, Russia with little change in viewership.
> “President Biden and his accountant are facing new IRS whistleblower complaints alleging that Biden owes at least $127,000 in back taxes.
—
Note that $127,000 is a trivial amount compared to the money Uncle Joe and “Doctor Jill” rake in. That could be one disallowed line item, for example.
If I was a suspicious type, I’d be expecting an announcement of “whoops, I’ll write a check right now. See, I pay my taxes, and you should, too!” to set an example for his proposed tax increases.
> Democrats are shifting committee hearings toward trying to claim President Trump attempted a coup with the Stop the Steal Rally on Jan 6th, just before the Capitol protests.
—
They’ll have a hard time of it, considering umpty-thousand cellphone videos, hundreds of security cam videos, official FBI and police videos, Trump’s own videos of the event, and all the media videos.
They’re still squatting on the official videos of what happened inside where Ashley Babbitt got murdered, but Trump’s event was right out in public.
Dinosaurs may actually be Dragons. Did not God in the Book of Job boast about Leviathan the Dragon?
Job 41:1-24
1“Can you pull in Leviathan with a hook
or tie down his tongue with a rope?
2Can you put a cord through his nose
or pierce his jaw with a hook?
3Will he beg you for mercy
or speak to you softly?
4Will he make a covenant with you
to take him as a slave for life?
5Can you pet him like a bird
or put him on a leash for your maidens?
6Will traders barter for him
or divide him among the merchants?
7Can you fill his hide with harpoons
or his head with fishing spears?
8If you lay a hand on him,
you will remember the battle and never repeat it!
9Surely hope of overcoming him is false.
Is not the sight of him overwhelming?
10No one is so fierce as to rouse Leviathan.
Then who is able to stand against Me?
11Who has given to Me that I should repay him?
Everything under heaven is Mine.
12I cannot keep silent about his limbs,
his power and graceful form.
13Who can strip off his outer coat?
Who can approach him with a bridle?
14Who can open his jaws,
ringed by his fearsome teeth?
15His rows of scales are his pride,
tightly sealed together.
16One scale is so near to another
that no air can pass between them.
17They are joined to one another;
they clasp and cannot be separated.
18His snorting flashes with light,
and his eyes are like the rays of dawn.
19Firebrands stream from his mouth;
fiery sparks shoot forth!
20Smoke billows from his nostrils
as from a boiling pot over burning reeds.
21His breath sets coals ablaze,
and flames pour from his mouth.
22Strength resides in his neck,
and dismay leaps before him.
23The folds of his flesh are tightly joined;
they are firm and immovable.
24His chest is as hard as a rock,
as hard as a lower millstone!
You want dragons? Well, here is one really really huge one…and a fish:

Lol at the guy who disliked my comment.
Well then, that’s one of the weirder versions of reality out there. It led me to another dude claiming continents are Titans.
Care to share more entrances to this rabbit hole?
Continents are Titans? What?
59.47% – 41.173% is greater than 100%, for what it’s worth.
Bits of fraud they missed scrubbing out. 🙂
Re: For those who want more on the Bible being a real, no-nonsense blueprint of the world.
This part kind of cracked me up with imagery in my head.
The image in my head was that these clowns, trying to come bribe this new King before Herod, were all high fiving each other over having bribed him literally from birth.
And then these shepherds come busting in the doors, all out of breath, and they’re shouting, “DUDE! DUDE! THERE’S LIKE A MILLION FUCKING ANGELS OUT THERE SAYING THIS BABY IS THE CHRIST!”
And then the three magi look at each other, and go, “we gotta get the fuck out of here before that host of angels shows up” and they make sure they go home a different way than they came in.
God is hilarious.
What story is this? with the bribed king
Edit: it’s the first link
Between the AC, the commenters here, and stuff Vox posts, i’ve learned more than all the boring CCD classes I was forced to take as a kid.
Big thanks to all of you.
Lemann’s JESUS BEFORE THE SANHEDRIN is the book that brought me fully to Christ. Anyone with legal experience should read it. Every Christian should read it. Amazing.
The Lemann’s were obv of the upper levels of Cabal and converted genuinely and wrote this masterpiece. And also founded Carmel which prays for the comversion of the Jews.
Anselm’s “ontologic proof” (it’s really just a koan) made me a Christian but Jesus before the Sanhedrin made the world make sense.
Alternate theory: Musk is smart, and that’s exactly what is happening.
He became very wealthy, but I don’t know of anything he’s done that meets the usual definition of “smart.”
There’s a ton of smart at SpaceX, but it’s employee smart, not Great Elon smart.
The only truly valuable thing is the ability to organize. He has that in spades. As far as the word ‘Capitalist’means anything good other than Finance, it means the ability to organize.
So why aren’t the other rocket companies hiring “employee smart”?
Both Musk and Bezos are really smart. Neither does engineering. Basically, I think the difference is Musk is intolerant of typical management wankery, while Bezos demands it.
Bezos: the nail that sticks up gets hammered down.
Musk: the nail that doesn’t stick up gets pulled out. The nail that sticks up works it’s own way loose, then escapes and runs as far away as possible to regain its sanity. Both get replaced with screws.
Musk: takes credit for everything, browbeats top employees to make sure there’s max credit for him to take over a longer time horizon.
Bezos: takes credit for everything, in every interaction, likes having his ass kissed for it’s own sake, even at the cost of actually getting to orbit.
Musk: Alpha / sigma, doesn’t care about being liked or decorum nearly as much as dominating and winning / resented but grudgingly respected by his immediate targets, admired from afar.
Bezos: Beta / gamma, wants deference and respect, enjoys humiliating employees for its own sake / passive-aggressive / loathed by near and far.
Yep. Good point.
“…He became very wealthy, but I don’t know of anything he’s done that meets the usual definition of “smart.”…”
I saw an interview with a guy who worked for him. His specialty was pumps. He said he started asking him questions about pumps. All sorts. He thought at first he was being tested but as the questioning went he realized the questions became more and more pointed about the fine details of pumps. He said that at once he realized that Musk was absorbing all this and that he with this line of questioning probably knew about 95% of what this guy knew about pumps.
Every interview I’ve ever seen of his he gives very penetrating answers that show he has thought about big problems. A excellent example is about nuclear power. Musk looked into it and realized the amount of land set aside for safety for nuclear plants if covered in solar cells would give you about the same amount of power. That’s a very impressive, penetrating way of looking at things. It would not have even occurred to me to think about this, but he did.
Musk has a physics and a business school background. The reason he is successful is he understands in a broad way the large part of all the technologies he is employing, Due to this he knows what can be accomplished. Where to push and where to back off. And he has the business background to constantly keep in mind what the cost are for choosing any path. So he knows when to push the technology and when to not. A simple example is he started with a pressure fed rocket first, easiest, then regular rockets that dumped the gas from the turbo pumps to a full flow which is more efficient but tougher to pull off. These things have been done. Notice aerospike nozzles are much better but no one has really made large rockets and launched them before so he left that out. He really shines on production where he breaks down all the steps and tries to limit cost and handling at every single step.
Musk is a front for the DoD. And probably a member of LaRouche’s counter- Cabal.
“Musk is a front for the DoD…”
Then why did he have to sue them to be able to launch DOD launches?
I think that movie was made in 1999. They called it Fight Club.
lol
I say we take him up on the deal, on the condition that Bolton bunks with the troops.
Can you say “Blanket party” ?
That rabid poodle ought to learn his lesson then.
Here’s an interview with Musk that covers fairly well all the stuff he is doing. If you watch this and “if” he really is doing exactly what he says he is doing, then I expect he will be judged in the future as one of the greatest humans who have ever lived on Earth.
All the criticisms I see of him assume things that we have no evidence for, or they flat out lie and attribute things to him that he has no control over. I’ve looked. All the “tools” he is building have a capability for bad, but they have an even higher capability for good. I summarized this once as hammers can build houses, or they can bash skulls. Any tools, and he is building tools, have capabilities directly related to their power and the tools he is building are some of the most powerful ever built.

Musk is a builder. He’s not Finance. He’s not entropic. He’s drug addled but a Builder.
He’s a competitor and a dominator. Dominating others into building things for him is just the most profitable and visible way of competing for fortune and fame. He has never had a friend, in the way other people think of friends – he doesn’t want anybody around he can’t dominate (though not everybody is equally worth dominating.)
This is based on an exceptionally annoying 12-y.o. South African kid named Elon I met at a GATE program at the local university in the summer of ’83. No idea if it was really Musk, or if it was, what he was doing in Texas then, but it would be a hell of a coincidence if it weren’t.
Everything Musk is building is the very definition of “dual-use” technology. And, no, it’s not the equivalent of using hammers for bashing in skulls. We don’t use hammers for that because we have better, more efficient, skull-bashers.
The fact that the Pentagon does not immediately seize all of Musk’s patents under National Security regulations and simply develop everything under DARPA indicates that the Pentagon knows Musk is full of shit and all of these “inventions” are just science fiction. Musk is a carnival barker, spouting inane crap you read in comic books. Two years from now he’s going to be talking about warp engines.
AI is all nonsense. At its most basic level, AI is simply a pattern recognition engine. It is not “intelligent” in any real way. AI research could not even duplicate the mannerisms or predict the actions of a cat, let alone duplicate human intelligence.
Even if all of the fantasies about AI were realized, what makes Musk think it cannot be controlled? Why would he think that an AI could not be prevented from making decisions the same way human beings are all of the time? What if an AI were given control of Tesla, monitored Tesla’s operation, and decided that profits would double if Tesla stopped hiring blacks and women? Does Musk think AI will be allowed to do that? And if AI can be prevented from making un-PC decisions, why can’t it be prevented from making any other bad decisions?
Does Musk actually think the AI is going to win with superior dialectic? If anything, AI will simply be an objective cover for arbitrary human decisions, like firing all the white guys at a company.
I guess the only good part is that Musk’s space program will develop better CGI.
“…We don’t use hammers for that because we have better, more efficient, skull-bashers…”

OT: but Israel females now is a “surprising” exception for female infertility after the COVID ja. Surprise surprise. This is taken from a long article about the evil plan to use moscitos to deliver vaccines. It’s a long read bit worth it – hete from the end of the article – copy and paste from me. Well – I have no personal comment to this other than wiser people than me have all ready pointed out that different batches of the vaxx etc – Israel got the saline ones: after my paste I put the link to the whole article.:
4, Dr. Bell said “These vaccines are unlikely to completely sterilise a population. They are very likely to have an effect which works in a percentage, say 60 or 70%.”
Dr. Seligmann’s study, “Female COVID19 vaccination associates with lower fertility (Hervé Seligmann, 28IX2021, version 7)” (33) found that only Israel continued to enjoy relatively high fertility despite the high percentage of vaccinated women. He did not attempt to explain the reason for the Israeli anomaly but Haim Yativ, Director of the Nakim Organization (34), said the abnormality in Israel can be explained by the fact that Israel is “Pfizer’s laboratory state”, and that [Jewish women in Israel] must have been given a high percentage of placebo vaccinations to test the Covid injection results against them as a control group.

A partial solution is a Pi Hole. It’s basically a local DNS server; you point your computer’s DNS to the Pi Hole instead of your ISP. The Hole blocks over a hundred thousand known spam, spy, and cookie sites, and you can add your own entries to the list; YourPhone and Skype, for example. The Pi Hole runs a nice little GUI interface in your web browser.
The Hole software was originally designed to run on a Raspberry Pi, but it will run on any computer or virtual machine that can run a not-too-ancientish version of Linux.
A customer’s accounting package is prone to long delays at odd moments; it had been an ongoing thing for several years, across multiple versions and hardware upgrades. On a whim I stuck a Pi Hole on their accounting network, which is isolated from the internet. It turned out the accounting software was periodically trying to contact a server in Canada, and the whole system just freezes until the attempt times out. Tech support was clueless as to why this was happening, and claimed there was no way to stop it. So now the Pi Hole just says “404, eh?” to those DNS lookups and the system doesn’t freeze any more.

> The homeschooling surge continues despite schools reopening.

I don’t see it lasting, though. “Now we have to pay for the public school we’re not using, plus the materials for homeschooling. And it takes so much time, and it’s too hard to live within a single-income budget. They’ll be okay in public school; we made it through okay, didn’t we?”
Public school is child abuse.
Happy children will be the difference. I homeschooled my two stepsons for high school. Unfortunately college indoctrinated one. There’s a lesson here. Take up a trade after mandated schooling.
I lost the homeschooling battle w my wife when I conceded “we made it though ok didn’t we?” Both my daughters are indoctrinated despite my best efforts to counterbalance the lies. My wife concedes that I was write. It’s a bitter “told ya so” and my heart breaks for them. Home school or die boys. That’s not hyperbole.
“Your computer microphone still listens even on mute.”
I have a camera that can swivel, to follow you once you’re recognized. Turning the computer off, a friend noticed that so long as the device had power it would turn to follow him.
Not to be paranoid but the obvious secondary possibility: cached, battery fed recording that simply uploads when it’s plugged in. Take care where you get your cameras and microphones if you have high security concerns.
The stuff is always on. So long as it’s connected, it can be remotely activated. There are ways to monitor/control this but it takes some skills. My general rule is disconnect when not in use.
Disable the internal microphones mechanically and any cameras.
Only use external microphones and cameras the can be physically disconnected.
I haven’t purchased a pre-built desktop computer in twenty years. Webcams and microphones all unplug. I have an old laptop with a built-in mircophone, but the battery is long dead so I just unplug it when I don’t want to use it. My mobile is a Motorola with a user-serviceable battery, which gets pulled out when I want privacy, and will be replaced with a Pinephone or Librem5 down the road(money is rather tight). It’s Android, so I keep no important data or information on it at all.
That said, there is probably a pixel-camera in every screen. Your smart-TV, your computer monitor, it’s grabbing a low res image/stream of you and sending it home for data mining. I doubt that they get made any other way now except by government contract for three letter agencies. Also, there are now known ways to use SPEAKERS as microphones, which is why ALL the monitors come with them installed, so basically you have to kill the power to every device if you don’t want it spying on you.
The only way to win the game is not to play.
Regarding Vox’s story, maybe the teacher was just an idiot. Vox, if you are listening, did you think she was stupid or testing you?
People really are stupid in general and it was shocking to me to see how blindly they respond to authority figures.
I was at an IT training course (in person) and the teacher was presenting some basic VOIP terminology. The “called” party being the person receiving the call and the “calling” party as the person initiating the call.
Simple, right? I think a plain english dictionary would be all that’s needed. The training materials had the definitions flipped. The teacher (woman) didn’t notice. The class accepted it. I challenged it and spent the next 20 minutes arguing with the teacher and other classmates (who sided with authority). I finally gave up and took the rest of them as idiots, until two slides later the materials had the definitions flipped back to the correct meaning. Then, I promptly rubbed their fucking noses in it.
How are we ever going to wake people up if they can’t even understand the meaning of words, without kneeling to authority?
For a smart guy, Gonzalo Lira did a lot of dumb things. He mentioned he was in Kharkov, then filmed himself walking to the supermarket to prove he was really there after some troll claimed he wasn’t in the country, he estimated how far away explosions were from his flat, said the bin men had just come to collect garbage in his neighbourhood, did livestreams so the government could have switched the internet off, or just throttled it, in certain quarters to see when his stream cut out and then figured out his block, all kinds of incredibly stupid mistakes, it wouldn’t have been hard to narrow down his location and set watchers at the supermarkets. He also went out dressed exactly as he was on camera, and didn’t bother trying to learn even basic Ukrainian. I stopped admonishing him in his comments when I realised he either didn’t read them or thought he was too smart to be caught. I’m not even intelligent but I can think “if I were the people trying to catch me, how would I do it?” and adjust my behaviour accordingly. He just couldn’t stop streaming and scoffing at the Zelensky regime, even after they literally sent henchmen to his Kiev hotel and he saw them. It’s like reality never impressed itself on him. His Telegram comments were full of people warning him to stop giving away info about his location, but he ignored them all. He’s probably blindfolded in some underground cell somewhere while Azov types debate what to do with him, and he probably still thinks he’s too smart to die.
Real wtf moment for me with this Chris Miller soundbite.
First, why was he talking to Ukrainie leadership?
Second, how can he think UKR is doing a world historic good job?
What is really going on in UKR?

He is probably now getting paid by a maker of the “man-portable rocket systems,” so when he goes on he has to play up this is a great fight, it is going well so we should keep it going, and we should definitely send them more “man-portable rocket systems.” His mouth before he started speaking was what I would have expected from a prisoner who was being beaten off camera, and then told what he had to say and shoved in front of the camera.
It is a shame. We are just dragging that thing out and getting more innocent young guys killed.
That dude is crucial to the entire Devolution scenario. It’s all built (by Wictor initially, I believe) off his worshipful praise of Pence in a speech.

AC, post this if you care to and think it might help, but with all the talk of GATE, I’ve never seen anyone talk about Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth.
I participated in what I surmise must have been GATE, but only for a few weeks. It was at the very end of a school year, and the next year I was enrolled in a magnet program. So, I had almost no exposure to the GATE program.
In 7th grade I somehow took the PSAT (or SAT?). I have no memory how this came about, but due to my score, I was recruited to and participated in the nascent CTY program for a very brief time.
Through the CTY program, I know I was taken to a local college a few times and participated in hours long testing in a large room with dozens of other kids. I don’t even remember the tests. I vaguely recall they were along the lines of the PSAT/SAT, but honestly cannot pull up any firm memories.
I also vaguely remember receiving Johns Hopkins mail at our house, and JH pursuing me or at least wanting me to keep participating in the CTY program.
My mom put the kibosh on it. I remember her expressing discomfort at the testing they wanted to perform and the tracking they wished to do. I know we received mail for literally years asking me to rejoin. Incidentally, I was accepted to Johns Hopkins for college years later. Somehow linked?
I don’t think CTY is affiliated with the GATE program. Johns Hopkins CTY website screams Cabal and has a nuclear glow.
Do you know if Johns Hopkins CTY is somehow affiliated with GATE? A quickie web search does not show an obvious link.
Do you know anyone who has experience with the Johns Hopkins CTY program? Did they go after anyone else in your readership? Has anyone seen CTY addressed on the chans?
Thank you again for all you do.
It sounds like they were checking you out. I do not have experience with John Hopkins, but the only way to make headway on this seems to me to post stuff, in part because it seems over decades, I think they developed a very sophisticated science of assessing kids, without drawing suspicion, using both teachers and kids to probe and provoke under controlled conditions, with certain known responses being recognized as warning signs.
I would be very surprised if some of those questions you answered were not revealing a lot about your psychology and aptitudes. I would even bet there were some who went through such testing, and then were exposed to specific lesson plans, and retested to see if they were made more leftist/compliant/reactionary/disrupted, and so on. What we are seeing done to our society is not being done on the fly. They have a massive body of research they must have acquired covertly over decades, using live students as guinea pigs.
It might be why they really wanted you back.
Related, I was supposed to have to go to a half-scholarship(or some other fraction) to a private relatively good highschool(and middle school combined) because of my academic ability. My parents ended up not doing it, I forgot why, either somehow because it was too far or too much money out of pocket still or not wanting too much pressure on me, or maybe not wanting to be around rich kids, or perhaps believing in the good of public school. I forgot if it was me who didn’t want to do it but I don’t think I was all that unacademic at the time and I believe I would’ve loved it, at least considering what I otherwise went through(But still, throughout my life I never did homework and was semi-lazy especially in school). And although it was a pretty good/above average school, I would’ve been smarter than most of them there as it was a scholarship whilst most of the rest would’ve paid for it.
Looking on facebook, the few people I see who had graduated from there seem like some of the most normal looking people in my country, a country full of weird/psychotic people(minimum 5-10% have major issues). The people I know from the schools I went to, if they were highly academic, seem relatively successful, but slightly less normal. Basically like I would’ve been if I didn’t have health issues/wasn’t fucked with/didn’t hate authority. The majority of the other people in the schools who I knew/knew me seem relatively “off” in some way. It’s subtler on social media/nowadays, and I didn’t know how to read people at the time, but I probably would’ve had a huge gut feeling reaction if I did it over again. The people who didn’t go that highschool or to mine ranged, they were unlikely to look as normal as that highschool but often were “in between”.
Uncle Ted?Are you Mk?
J.H.U. is a vaguely sinister institution in general, known for cutthroat competition among its students, very cold and institutional. CTY had generally good reports from parents of high-IQ kids c. 2000-2005, but it’s definitely a cash cow, very expensive.

Oh crap. This is me. Correct years, correct SAT score cut-off.
Thinking on it more, I took the SAT for them in 6th grade, not 7th (and thus fell below age 13).
It’s now starting to make sense. My mom moved heaven and earth to get me officially IQ tested by the public school district in 5th grade. It happened 2nd semester. GATE sessions happened for a few weeks before end of that school year.
I tested high enough on the IQ exam that I was placed in a highly gifted magnet in 6th grade and stayed in the magnet system the remainder of my school career.
It must have been through my 6th grade magnet that Johns Hopkins found me and arranged for this testing.
Beyond creepy.
Now I have to go read that research paper! Thanks for linking it.
It is so vital parents understand, the schools are not there to help their children. They, like everything else have been corrupted into a mechanism of control by a massively sophisticated, highly experienced, expansive intelligence operation directed not at foreign threats, or terrorist actors, but at every citizen, beginning in childhood.
You need to hide your child’s power level. Exposing it won’t get them brownie points, or admitted to some program which will put them on the fast track to success. Those programs are awarded to members of the network, and those doors are closed anyway, unless you sign on to help them control everyone else. Exposing it will make the machine view them as a threat, at which point they will send in the surveillance, and begin trying to take full control.
And you have to decide early, do they want a normal life, or do they want to reach for a golden ring. If it is the ring, they need to know everything, especially the surveillance, and form a plan which does not require things like subjectively awarded contracts, or alliances with powerful companies, or shit like that. They need to create a plan with a necessary product which puts them right next to customers and guarantees word of mouth, no middlemen, no need for media exposure or free publicity, or support from any Cabal operation, which narrows the options considerably. No acting, no book writing for big publishers, no fame-based occupations, no intellectual property which could be stolen by a big Cabal outfit and force decades of litigation. You may be better than all those people, but it isn’t a meritocracy, and they have the upper hand in terms of their intel op. Make allowances and plan around it.
But do not fall into the trap they set, where you think your child showing how smart they are to the system is the way to get recognized and thereby succeed.
This is so important to understand that it cannot be emphasized enough.
Think about human nature. The ties that bind are marriages, bloodlines, and close friendships. This makes meritocracy impossible and any society pushing merit is by definition lying to you. No one in power is going to privilege talented strangers over their own friends and family.
“Society” is just a meme.
I grew up in the 60s/70s in a very rural area. Our elementary school, grades kindergarten to 8, had I think maybe 150 or so kids tops.
No special programs or tests that I can recall but I do remember one incident that always felt a bit off. I was in grade 4 or 5 and we had what we were told was a police officer come into the class one day and talked to us and gave a class quizz on questions involving morality and ethics.
The details are fuzzy now but it stands out to me because one scenario we were quizzed on was a school bus driver with a bus full of kids having something break on the bus and he has a choice of veering into someone walking beside the road and saving the kids or hitting the person and injuring/killing the children. Why it stands out was I said to hit the person and save the kids and a lot of the class hissed and booed more or less because they thought it was the wrong choice. The officer said I had made the right choice.
But it’s odd. Why have a police officer take a day from duties to attend a grade 4 elementary school class and give a talk on morality and then quizz the students? I don’t recall our responses being recorded but you have to wonder if that is something “they” might be interested in in children at that age.
That is the problem. As a kid you have no idea they can’t be trusted. When they gave us the Zenner card test, the teacher had a spiel, that we needed to do it right for the “study,” to relax, clear your mind, focus on the card, and try to see what was on the other side in our mind, and then say it. I thought it was stupid, but I still followed his directions, because why not? But God forbid, even by chance, you happen to hit all the cards and get a 100%. I was that dumb a lot. I wrote each day in the journal in English class, just honestly discussing shit with the teacher, who was steering it all to politics and government, and how things should be run, and my philosophy on it all.
Who would think they would all be working against you. Why should kids have to think that of their own countrymen?
The research continued — look up Benbow’s other papers.
Other research on intelligence shows that kids of our level of intelligence are smarter than our teachers by age 7, smarter than 90% of professors by age 11, that the gap in intelligence between us and those who appear to run the world is bigger than the gap between them and average 10 -12 year olds. In short, mentally, they’re all children compared to us.
There’s a tendency for everyone to project their own qualities onto others — we have difficulty understanding just how stupid and ignorant people are compared to us, even top doctors and professors. They literally can not understand us. They also project their own motivations onto us,and basically they’re not just stupid, they’re social-climbing backstabbers from the get-go, or worse. As AC says, keep your head down.
I have mentioned similar offers in my childhood multiple times here in the comments. Your mom was smart to put a stop to it. My mom didn’t even want me to get a whiff of these programs, if she could help it. So from our mutual experience and from what you shared here, I believe we can say yes, JH’s CTY is connected to GATE/Gifted/etc. somehow, among many other lesser-known schools/programs. The programs are all pipelines for similar goals. I believe that the schools/programs will likely differ according to where you were located as a kid. Also, Anons are not prone to give location-specific information. These two factors are likely why few have made the connection except here in AC’s bastion.
I remember some of your previous comments. Spooky.
I’m not sure if my mom had much say in the initial SAT testing. I’m now convinced it was arranged through my 6th grade school.
I also just asked my mom and she says she didn’t consent to any of the Johns Hopkins testing. She claims no memory of me going to the local college for further exams.
I’d chalk this up to my mom’s poor memory at an advanced age, except I know for sure I always carpooled with my best friend for the local college testing. We were driven every time by my best friend’s mom.
It is possible my mom truly didn’t know what I was doing on those days. I was always with my best friend, so it wouldn’t have looked any different to my mother than any other day.
I just remembered something. I had a teacher who recommended to my mom that I be taken out from the gifted program. Looking back I suspect she might have been one of the good guys. When I got taken out anyway (I was told because I didn’t do my homework but maybe it was her that instigated it?), she gave me free reign to do whatever the hell I wanted during class–mostly reading but also other intellectual challenges. She rarely bothered me after that, with the exception of feeding me increasingly more difficult math problem sets like junk food, which I would gladly decipher before I went back to my reading. She would also encourage me to dig deep into topics I was interested in, helping me research them. It was great, and set the tone for the rest of my school life from that point on. She basically gave me blanket permission to be as independent as I wanted to be and I never deviated from that in subsequent years. Just wanted to share because that’s proof to me that, at least back then, some were fighting back in their own ways.
Musk smart? Lucky maybe but he’s about as ignorant as they come.
“this is so” tactic.
I had forgotten I originally called this the “pronouncement” tactic.
