I haven’t seen the transcript for this part (they just posted the xcript from the 9th this morning and the format that they are posting is maddening in how intentionally unhelpful it is — they could have just posted PDFs or even plain ASCII text files — ASCII is actually the industry standard — but instead you have to click through images of the xscript page by page like a 1998 slideshow. This isn’t incompetence, it’s malice. They are actually taking more bandwidth and server resources than if they just put the ASCII up for download, but the ASCII is searchable and you can copy and paste from it.)
It could be a nothingburger, or it could be a casebreaker. It won’t be a casebreaker here, because the judge is Full Speed Ahead on riding this trial into the ground, but on appeal it could matter. If they can show that AT&T (or whoever) produced them that way, it’s a nothingburger. If they DON’T have an explanation, this is spoliation, and with spoliation, the inference in a criminal case has to be that it was exculpatory.
Depends on where you are. This morning it officially went to G5, which is as high as the scale goes, but frankly, I don’t think the scale goes high enough, because a Carrington event is the same rating as this, whereas a Carrington event is probably 10x more than this, and in 774 AD, there was an event 10 the size of Carrington. (It should probably go to G9, using magnitudes, like the Richter scale.)
If you live far north, do what you would do for blackouts. If you are an HF operating ham, you won’t operate. Expect anything with networking to get shittier and shittier as the weekend goes and into Monday morning. Again, if you need to buy/sell, plan to do it with cash, because ATMs and CC processing are going to be spotty.
Since it’s the weekend and the middle of the month, I don’t expect EBT riots or anything, but you never know.
One would expect this might be a case where a stash of cash or even junk silver at your easy reach would be really useful. They would be valuable. Especially as time went by. But only if you remember that Silence Dogood, as the EBT Riotz Krewe will be listening for that stuff.
What a coincidence during an election year
This event is a big nothing burger, and 20 meters was open yesterday, but other bands were mostly dead.
Meh. Judges do this pretty often. They will say things like, “you aren’t calling ABC? I expected to hear from ABC with the evidence you’ve been putting on.” Of all the shit the judge has pulled in this trial, this is one of the least offensive.
The judge explicitly told the state to tell Cohen to stop. That Cohen is defying him as well (whether he has the authority to order it doesn’t matter much to any judge, much less this one) means that the judge is going to be pissed off at him, so don’t act shocked if he allows Trump’s lawyers to use the TikTok bullshit against him. It’s almost certain that he will allow them to do like they did with Stormy and make him testify about how badly he wants Trump convicted and the ugly shit he’s been saying.
(FWIW, if you want in-depth coverage, I recommend Robert Gouveia on youtube, who is basing most of it off the tweets from Inner City Press, who is doing a yeoman’s job of getting the dailies out. Between the two of them, they are getting about as accurate of info as you can out, and Gouveia gives actual analysis, not lolyer analysis. His format is that he’ll do a livestream recap at the end of the day, which is long, and the cut out the specific trial coverage overnight into a shorter video.)

And GoodLawgic (Joe Nierman) is continuing his fight to ungag Trump, and in the process, exposing how the Judge ignored the rules about gags, the court system is unresponsive and blocking in anyway correcting this.
The best part of all of these many legal fights is every one of them is destroying any remaining faith in the legal system, so all 3 (Exec, legis, judicial) are no longer considered to be Honorable or worth preserving… Time for people to stand up, nothing of the current system will fight for you or your rights, only you can do so, and not by giving power or trusting to these instiutions.
What is also totally out of control is judges telling the defense team what arguments they are not allowed to make and what witnesses and evidence they can present.

I’m betting it’s not even the charging time with Ford; they’ve been pushing that Lightning F150 really hard in my area and at any sort of “work truck” load the max travel range is almost halved from the listed range.
It’s just not practical to have a work truck that may not even be able to make it to a far out jobsite and back on a single charge while loaded with tools and materials.
I know trucks have become more of a fashion statement sedan for white collar urbanite bros, but a huge chunk of Ford’s money comes from tradesmen who need a semi-affordable truck that can do truck things, not a glorified RC car.
Electric pickups are just loud and clear indicators of dipshittery. Like neck tats. Or being proud of spending big bucks at titty bars or “exclusive high end” Vegas nightclubs. Or letting women vote.
Ford’s all-in financial support for terrorists (Black Lives Matter) has poisoned the brand to me. If someone gave me one for free, I’d sell it and use the money to buy something else.
Infinite time, money, and effort to get guns back into the hands of illegal foreign invaders, gang bangers, criminals, etc. and never one penny available to support and expand the tools available to good, honest people owning defensive weaponry that would never harm an innocent life.
It never did. At least not within the memory of any living American. We were sold propaganda and lies about a country that only existed in high school civics books.

Paul Craig Roberts on the corrupt so-called Justice department:
Checking over Ch. 10
15th para. down, can add last sentence to previous by continuing after comma with “just see what…
After the title is seen, past the preface i.e. Now the case…, third para. down from there, see “American Stasis” has an S at the end
Next para., trying to get sentences ended with a preposition to be revised, so end of first sentence, can change to something like “never recognize” or “are remaining unaware”, as suggestions
After the long string of italics, third para. down, end of first sentence, change to “no explanation for possessing” to remove preposition (I know, I use them in speaking too often, but do my best to eliminate in writings, so you probably have the same habits)
About 1/3 down the page, para. starts “In a normal Surv. op… maybe change the start of the second sentence, could add a comma after the “But” or change to “However”, but either way, add a comma after the opener and after the end of “in modern… harassment surveillance” – insert comma there
Farther down the page, the para. starts “Cabal’s domestic intel…, next sentence about the Gov., put a comma after his name
Third para. below that, end of first sentence can be changed to “etc.” or similar to remove the preposition
fourth para. below that, next to last sentence, change ending to something like “he should have been unable to access” or similar
About half down the page, para. starts “As you delve deeper, last sentence is only half there and a “3” numeral is there, the latter section of the paragraph is missing
All for now, keep on keepin’ on, AC, best regards and wishes
Thank you! Extremely appreciated!
I’m impressed. Might buy one. At the $2000 price point it’s a really good deal.

Second half of Ch. 10
After “James Burke” italics, third para. down, change end of last sentence from “it” to “cabal operations”
After the para. ful of links, second para. after, at the end, put something there past or instead of “it”, as it was not something thought of as unique, just a run of the mill LE situation
sixth para. down from links”but” can be changed to “realize” or “notice”, or just put a comma before the “but” and add the last sentence to the previous
About 2/3 down the page, after the killer sees reports of cell usage reference victim families, para. begins “what would the killer think”, at end, past the “it”, perhaps add “in his possession”
fourth para. below that, halfway through first sentence “one group of people was about to “killer” her (remove the “er”), and at end of sentence, might change to “killer did not frequent of live in the area”
Right after the italics about Karnes, next para., …pursuit of a suspect, to see if it might be recognized? – as an alternative end
The online article about Burke was paywalled to me, is there another article somewhere that could be linked?
About seventh para. from end, just above the italics about Henry Lee Lucas,last sentence before the italics start, “they were used to performed (remove the “ed”)
next to last para., I think the Seth Rich leak was to wikileaks, not wikipedia?
So much to do, under attack, and you still pull it off this well, Kudos, AC
I meant “killer did not frequent or live in the area, see even I make a goof
BTW, a suggestion, is that after every chapter is added to the archive, put up a new link so we can download an archive of the newest iteration, after the proofreading is accomplished.
LOL. Thank you for the help!
Good idea. I am, I think, two chapters behind on proofreading.
Though I was looking at Chapter one and two and may just cut some out of those to shorten them and move people to the streetview surveillance courses faster.
It never hurts to edit something for brevity, especially if what is trimmed is over-the-top repetitive (sometimes same take in a different manner helps with learning), but if a story can’t be made like reader’s digest, shortening without losing much of the flavor, maybe just convert a long page to pt. 1 and pt. 2, for faster loading on slower and older machines, of the little people, those we still want to reach.
Lucky for me, I have the easy job, I just have to read this stuff, you have had to gather, coordinate, and sprechenzee the schpelling onto the schkreen. cue Frau Blucher here, and the horses neigh in terror…
Remember, I’m only going to give out the good ideas, I keep the stupid ones to myself, as should we all.
LOL. Thank you!
“Nancy Mace says staff ‘sabotaged’ her: Republican accuses ex-aides of mismanaging $1million, hacking her phone, spying on medical records and dumping office devices in water in extraordinary interview.”
She noted in an interview that she had to go overseas bases to get military briefings, because there was a real difference in the information she got overseas as opposed to domestic US bases, which were basically doing a snow job.
I actually think she is one of the few they can’t reliably control, and that is what this is about.

Expect the Fed to “fix” that Real Soon Now. Say, by limiting the number of gallons per transaction, so you have to pay four or five times when filling up. Or limiting the flow rate. They’d be pushed as “safety” measures. Or, nowadays, “because we said so, luzers!”
What does Patriot Front stand for? Would “feds” even bother with this, let alone voice such a nerdy and innocuous statemet?
Couple minutes long.
Hey, AC…. If you get enough separate active-type clubs, each with an ever-expanding membership, how many stasi personnel are required to follow and keep tabs on each active guy? Wouldn’t that put an eventual dent in the manpower of the Cabal, which also must be spying on everybody else? These efforts are growing. Think of the king who promised to keep doubling the number of rice grains placed upon consecutive squares of his chstatement?
.
https://t.me/Thomas_Sewell/4460
This assumes the clubs are organic, which is a leap. The evidence is that the leadership or driving forces are comped, and then the org itself is nerfed. So only non-comped orgs would need infiltration, and then a priority to comp them.
The right approach would be a cell structure, but that too can be comped, and also requires plans and agreement and trust. If you can’t trust the guys above or below you in those cells, the whole thing falters. This is why I disagree with your argument about Trust. It’s key.
I think in the coming unrest, the only strategy which will work is ideologically aligned and inter-legal-supporting lone wolves. Meaning everybody does what they see needing to be done on their own with no organization, and the only interaction would be support when it comes to legal interactions, like court cases, grand juries, etc. Jury nullification and so forth, if you can wrest the legal control over the judiciary and get to the court systems were were told operate, where juries are not rigged by the clerks.
Your only option with this will now be Civil War, IMO. It is either that, or the government is lost to some foreign power which Havana’s out all the honest FBI and CIA left, and then institutes a despotic regime where you say and do what you are told, or you get the Beam at night.
You can’t challenge the tech, IMO. It is too advanced. Supported by the masses of 80 IQ surveillance, it is completely all-powerful. Your only option is complete elimination of all surveillance. That is the only weak link, and it is very weak. And I think that can only be done by lone wolves acting independently.
I don’t think the tech can compete with 140 million heavily armed lone wolves. In a hot Civil war scenario, if one person like me went active, they would probably have five surveillance minimum -certain conspirators – down by sundown. If you have 140 million lone wolves acting simultaneously, surveillance would not last more than a week, and it would be gone.
If all the lone wolves also supported each other legally, like with Jury nullification, then it is almost a legal civil war, which takes out the surveillance at no cost to the lone wolves, since the lone wolves would be like 90-95% of the population, and the surveillance is probably only 5-10%. If you could get a President and 50 governors elected, who would all pledge pardons to lone wolves for anything done to surveillance conspirators, then surveillance would be gone. It would be like outlawry. They decided to overthrow the Constitutional government, and criminally attack any patriots in their way, in and out of government, and they were stripped of government protection. They would run.
At that point, with the ground surveillance/Stasi gone, the insurgency is gone. No BLM, No Antifa, no cities burning, no terrorism, I think most of the “White Nationalist terrorism groups” would be gone, as would the radical black nationalist terrorist groups, and the show you see on TV is pretty much gone.
At that point, you have probably fairly honest news, no MK ultra-ing of society, and all you have left is a small cadre with ultra high tech drifting in the shadows, which I think is too small by itself to exert control over the country.
We don’t know much about them, in terms of force size or capability, but my bet is they are small enough in number you could then reform CIA and FBI without the Stasi/conspiracy-agents, as a genuine NatSec operation, and it would be the US government against them.
It is far from a certain outcome, given our lack of knowledge about the high-tech cadre, but I think it is the only possible path you could pursue. And it is not like you have much to lose. Right now, no doubt, all is lost. I am dealing with these people, and I think the only thing constraining them is fear of God’s rules, as they are trying to find loopholes around them to fuck everyone, destroy the nation, and maybe have a chance of avoiding hell themselves when they die. As it stands, they are on course to turn this world into something I do not think our kind could possibly stand. I can bear this only because I am unusually adaptable to harsh circumstances and incredibly stubborn. Most of our kind would blow their tops under this type of life though.
The only question is would our kind all then die in a futile, poorly planned attempt to stand up to the machine as a whole, or would we pursue the lone wolf strategy targeting the surveillance, which might, maybe, inch our position forward, back toward a Constitutional, elected republic, where the people who love America as it was sold to us are not getting beamed every night for not selling her out.
I will say right now, there is no path back to where we came from. That bridge is burned, and gone. It is either some form of devastating civil war and mass bloodshed purging everyone in the surveillance in one direction, IMO, or a horrific dystopia of slavery for every real American and their children, who will spend their lives fearing the beam, in the other direction.
And like it or not, you will choose one path or the other. I would not recommend to people letting a life like I see every day become your reality. I am bearing it only because I think if I do it will help everyone else down the road. On a personal level, this is nothing to cling to for your own personal purposes.
Sadly, I think you are too optimistic.
None of it is fixable, you can’t unring the bell. It’ll burn first, and take it all with it, and the coming civil war won’t distinguish the surveillance because that’s not possible… Even here, the average poster is convinced it’s some subgroup they can identify and blame.
I can spot surveillance pretty quickly. And I can think of multiple places they will have left footprints in the course of operating which will lead right to their front doors.
If their story comes out, and we ever begin honestly electing leaders, things will change.
AC, never forget that America’s first Chief Justice spoke for jury nullification. John Jay. It’s so obvious, anyhow. Then there’s all that Lysander Spooner wrote about it.
My opinion is that the very fact that juries existed was to nullify bad law, as well as to decide the facts.
That would be OUR form of law, as opposed to Hebrew so called law (they only had judges, didn’t they?).
The entire concept of a judge, as lodged in the sheeple mind today, is Hebraic, not Northern European.
Negroes practice “nullification” all the time, which might help in bring conservatives around lol.
Nordics had lawspeakers who acted as judges.
The Jury system was invented by Charlemagne to trick the peasants into thinking they were being given a fair shake instead of being railroaded by the foreign nobility that had conquered them.
Juries are composed of stupid and uneducated people who are easily bamboozled by the prosecutor and the judge, but when it’s all over and they vote to convict so they can quit being enslaved for less than minimum wage and go home the ruling class can say “Don’t blame us, a jury of his fellow peasants convicted him”.
At least with a judge there is a single professional person who can be held accountable for a miscarriage of justice.
With a jury there’s a large group of random dummies who can be believed to just be uneducated and stupid when they violate your rights, and nobody is going to get out the pitchforks and torches to demand their heads.
Jury nullification is so rare that it might as well be a myth, it is used to keep people who value liberty attached to the idea of juries.
Use it if you get the chance, but know that the only way it will be used with any frequency will be by cabal or antifa or BLM types to let their people off for committing actual crimes.
I didn’t know that about juries and Charlemagne, who was so Jewish that his nose bled matzaball soup.
The fact that most jurors are dumb asses is based upon most Americans being dumbasses. As Vox claims, most Americans are not even Americans. And mpai as well. Colonial times were not quite as bad. Citizenship and voting must have tests and conditions associated with them. We must have no second class citizens, but perhaps second, third, and fourth class denizens.
HOWEVER, if your only hope is a professional judge, then there is no hope at all and you know why.
.
Bottom line is despite Christian blather, humanity is no more special than the laughing Hyena and if we allow the Yahoodies to gain the control they plan, then it won’t be long until humans are extinct and most or all other living creatures as well because jews may be monomaniacs, but they cannot run anything except into the ground
Wrong. Charlo didn’t invent the jury system, though he introduced a form of it. Info here:

I have been musing since this morning about the mental health of someone who claims that something is no good because of the not so good people who man and operate it. “Chemistry is useless, you see, because the cancer cure that my nephew invented with his Hasbro Chemistry Set poisoned his mother and she went tits-up.” Um, yeah.
I muse about the mental health of people who base their belief in something on the idea that human nature can be changed.
The commies will never get their “New Soviet Man” and anarchists will never get their New Anarchist Man.
The average man by necessity will always be ignorant of the finer points of the law and due process.
Juries create a manipulable buffer between the government and the people that is used to keep people from questioning the justice of verdicts and redirects any anger that does happen against random peasants.
That is clearly why they were invented and why Charlamagne reintroduced them.
I may have been wrong about the origin, but your correction just makes things worse.
It’s a Mediterranean invention from ancient Egypt, that’s nothing but bad.
Germano-Nordics had it right with lawspeakers, at least then you can spark a revolution if justice is being perverted and you have a single authority figure to blame.
Any system that even temporarily enslaves free men can’t be good.
Listen up. If normies can memorize statistics about sports ball, they can — and have — learned the finer points about their system of law.
In the American colonies, someone famous (Franklin?) Pointed out that most of the colonists were “scattered in the Law.” I have spent time in Jamaica and watched young rural people writing their little contracts using a pad of paper and a pen (English Common Law, ya know).
You are right about the new Soviet man, though.
Exactly this. Medieval England was notorious for its litigious commoners, way worse than today. They all represented themselves, and when the judge was in town, farmers and villains would be lined up hundreds deep to hear their fence disputes, broken contracts, maimed cattle and slanders.
People with enough knowledge to argue in small claims for their own interests don’t necessarily understand the law and process for more complex cases.
And the biggest problem with the system is that they have a giant motivation to rush to judgement so they can go home and stop being enslaved.
Juries are notorious for passing judgement on trivial, emotional, and subjective motivations.
I had an uncle get railroaded and later the case got overturned because the jury wanted to go home for Christmas and their attitude was “he wouldn’t be on trial if he wasn’t guilty”.
I’m in those trenches, I get it. Most people absolutely don’t understand the law enough for most complex cases, but the reality, there aren’t that many complex cases. (I pretty much only work on complex cases. There are literally rules for “complex litigation” and virtually everything I do is under those rules.)
People are convinced that the general sort of “my neighbor needs to prune his tree and won’t do it” lawsuits that you saw in medieval England aren’t worth the trouble, or they can’t effectively argue it themselves, and I’m not even disagreeing with them. I think our society would be better if they COULD do that, though. More disputes would get solved, and I think that people would be less terrified of the threat and threat alone of lawsuits.
All true, but let’s have cartels of corrupt officials and grifters just decide what to do with accused criminals, right? You describe a problem in scale. I think, including too many y laws creating an overabundance of criminals. Corrupt cops — or stupid ones, which may be even worse, add to the problem.
Your uncle was railroaded, while others who were guilty went free. Such a problem! Let’s all just commit revolutionary suicide, eh?
All very important to the commoners involved, no doubt, and a better way of handling problems than blood feuds, eh?
And a stronger community when it’s all settled. The commoners should at least get something, even in a fake democracy (to paraphrase George Carlin.)
“Scattered in the law” is enough knowledge to be dangerous.
It’s not what you know that is the problem, it’s what you don’t know or what you think you know but are wrong about that are the problem.
Normies have a motivation to learn sports stats in fine detail, they have no motivation to learn the finer points of the law and are likely to pick up incomplete or false ideas from movies and shows etc.
Sorry. That was supposed to be *smatterers* in the law.
.
People who have an ox that’s been gored become motivated to learn the finer points if law that deal with that.
.
I’m not sure what you are proposing in all this because, yeah, there are serious problems, but they could certainly be much worse.
.
For the best of all possible worlds just limit jurors to voters and limit voters to some standard for responsibility like owning property or not being an employee, then add a test. Such people could have lower or no tax burden. Then totally enslave the willfully ignorant remainder, with opportunity to raise their status, if and when applicable.
Oops. Add, to that list, “no woman shall vote or serve on a jury.
Just think of how stupid the average man is, and then remember that half of them are even worse.
This would be true if the average IQ was 200.
I don’t know enough about this thread to comment, but this IQ comment isn’t true because IQ runs along a normal distribution curve. Farce is referring to the middle of the IQ curve, which used to be a g of 100, which may be limited in its ability to have a holistic grasp of common law.
I’ve made this same “Just think of how stupid the average man is, and then remember that half of them are even worse.”, and then I usually add that really it’s only about a 1/3 are stupider, which is a rough approximation of the bell curve, but the point is still true. As VD likes to add to some of his posts: MPAI
That’s true. The *holistic grasp* factor is important though, because if the common law originated from daily custom of the folk., then most should and would have been able to understand it, even if they didn’t know the exact reason. Rather like how you can use grammar properly (or almost so) because you grew up in a world where most people did so. English teachers used to bitch about that.

There are interesting things in common law, including the idea that for there to be a crime, three (3) thing are required: action, intent, and an injured party.

Has anyone ever heard of the late George Gordon and his Barristers Inn School of Common Law?
Yes, but then the average as a baseline wouldn’t be so bad.
We The People intentionally set up redundant systems for this purpose, thus the 4 boxes. They have destroyed nearly all 4.
They have censored the soap boxes
They have stuffed the ballot box.
They have filled the jury box with nonpeers
They have infringed on the bullet box.
Today, the Amazon box, the beggar box, the hot box, and the surgically created box are the 4 tools they use for our destruction.
Obviously, some are not organic, but go lurk on Telegram and make a list of the various groups you’ll find, world-wide, then consider how easy it would be for others to do the sane thing, but stay off social media.
My comment was not to denigrate trust, but to point out that more homogenous groups allow for real trust, as opposed to more ersatz (you could say) groups where only “trust in quotation marks) is possible.
I was on telegram, and even small state centric groups were spammed by shitposters, who derailed things.
Telegram itself is a shit show. Any channel that allows comments gets blasted like that. Nevertheless, it’s the place to find what you won’t find on Musk’s place and you mostly won’t find to youtube. Channels without comments are OK until banned on the Apple and Android official installations — then if you want them, you must install the app version available from the Telegram site.
All in all a hassle, but necessary if you want more or less uncensored news. TWO good examples are the Australian and Irish freedom efforts.
Telegram was comped a long time ago and without comments, it’s worse than useless. I wouldn’t trust a channel without comments, too easy to do Truth, Truth, Lie, and nobody can refute. Anyway, you do you.
You wouldn’t trust yada yada. Cool. You don’t need to trust to follow a link to something ‘our’ yahoodi controlled media never mentions. As for trust, truth, and yahoodies, that Austrian painter with the odd mustache said it best. I suspect you are familiar with his words. The passage ends, I think, with, “gradually, I began to hate them.”
We are living through interesting times. Time will tell. Who knows. Maybe there are good Jews and perhaps Trump is in with them. Somehow, I doubt it though.
