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 the Fake News, 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, especially about President Trump.

[quote from the brief] – “And it is possible lower generations are widely deployed in things like TV’s and coffee makers”
[Commenter’s reply] – “Perhaps the lead paint laws were more about making residences EMF permeable than children eating the paint chips. That would be a long time in the making.
I was just having this discussion in an email, and looking to put it in the blog at some point. An emailer who was dealing with Cabal issues noted they had once moved into a house with decades of lead paint in it, and the most noticeable thing was you could not get a cell phone signal inside the house. You had to go outside, where the phone would work fine. They were interesting as they knew about the chemical supply issues, and it turns out the white lead powder used in the paint is also highly, highly regulated and impossible to get in any amount higher than the trace amounts an oil painter might use, if you can even get that.
That got me thinking, how they made eating lead paint chips into a meme joke, like, “Did you eat a lot of paint chips as a child?,” which makes us all think, “Yeah, you have to regulate lead paint, because kids eat the chips and become retarded…” But has anyone ever seen a kid eat lead paint chips? Has anyone even seen peeling paint, or how unattractive the idea of getting such dry, sharp, flaky, disgusting chips in one’s mouth would make you spit compulsively?
I doubt lead paint was ever an issue now after all that. It was about making houses EM permeable. It is worth noting, places like Lessemf.com get good sales now off their copper paint, the express purpose of which is to make walls less emf-permeable. I once spoke with the guys there, and it appears they are doing brisk business off the electronic harassment people are experiencing in the nation, even though if you looked at the news, you would think such things are entirely non-existent, and only the product of mental illness. Personally, if I was building a house and had the cash, I would make surveillance-resistance and EMF-blocking prime parameters guiding all aspects of construction. Clearly it is an interesting area of research.
I have no idea if this next site is a pied piper, dropping just enough interesting stuff to draw an audience it could lead astray, or white hats releasing real data for those interested, or just a really sharp researcher, but it has popped up lately with deep digs looking back at Cabal operations. This one is about the Deep State fomenting Nazi movements to try and portray the right wing and freedom advocates as nuts, and taint real reveals of conspiracies by making them look like insane ramblings of extremists, and it has gems like this : “NUMEC [ed note – the company which gave Israel the Uranium to make its first nuclear bombs] was formed from the acquisition by the San Toy Mining Company of Apollo Steel Corp. and the American Nut and Bolt Fastener Company. San Toy Mining then changed the consolidated companies name to NUMEC (Nuclear Materials and Equipment Corporation). San Toy Mining, in the 1910s, was once the subject of lengthy litigation over who owned the company. (One of the claimants was Charles M. Schwab, the great uncle of Pop Star Katie Perry. That is another story. At the time of the 1957 acquisition and merger of San Toy, Apollo Steel and American Nut, San Toy was effectively controlled by ASARCO, the largest metals smelting company in the world at the time and owned by the Rockefeller and Guggenheim Families.)”

Great news for television viewers, they have just suspended Chris Cuomo indefinitely! The big question is, was it because of his horrendous ratings, which in all fairness have permeated CNN and MSDNC, or was it because his brother is no longer Governor? Probably both. In any event, Fredo is gone!
12/01/21
Invite other people to anonymousconservative.com because Fredo really was weak and stupid.
“Is it possible the Afghanis are now anti-CIA and anti-Cabal, they shut down Opium production, and Iran is Cabal, and these clashes are about that?”
That or they are working for Israel now.
This is why we left them all the goodies either way.
Or they’re just violent animals.
Not mutually exclusive. Our government, for example, is composed primarily of violent animals.
Another picture clearly showing Brandon’s rubber mask’s ear tab:
“Democrat senator Jeanne Shaheen (D) of New Hampshire threatens the Supreme Court with ‘revolution’ if Roe v. Wade is overturned.”
You know Shaheen is a Lebanese-Arabic name. Funny that an family from a certain part of the world would be so adamant about that issue. The violence threats seem fitting however.
“Israel admits almost all covid infections and deaths in vaccinated and they acknowledge the 3rd shot caused “immuno-erosion.””
So some significant fraction of the population of Israel is about to start showing signs of synthetically acquired immuno-deficiency?
“‘Bullied’ teen Ethan Crumbley, 15, is identified as Michigan High school shooter who gunned down four classmates with his father’s 9mm after flaunting it on Instagram. He posted a threat to his social media, saying, “Now I am become Death. The destroyer of worlds. See you tomorrow, Oxford,” but supposedly nobody noticed.”
Before we make jokes, realize this will be used to justify surveillance of all High school children in Michigan, maybe even the entire U.S.
And the fucked up thing is, I would bet when he posted, “I am become death, the destroyer of worlds, See you tomorrow, Oxford.” that was seen by the surveillance, which is why you had that parent say their kids knew something was up and refused to go to school. One of those surveillance kids warned some friends. And that makes you wonder if thy passively picked up on it, or if they might have been more actively involved in making this kid to distract from Ghislaine. And nobody will look into that.
reminds me of the autistic kid in I think washington state the FBI was trying to set up as the next “terrorist” they caught, or cause the next attack. Some mentally retarded dude (diagnosed) who lived with his parents still. The parents kept answering the door and telling agents to fuck off and quite messing with their son, and filed a lawsuit against the FBI over it, though I don’t know how it turned out. Intelligence agent=scum bag.
“ Is it possible the Afghanis are now anti-CIA and anti-Cabal?”
No. If they were anti Cabal, we’d be fighting them all out.
Unless something has changed. I wondered if the pullout’s chaotic, and fucked up aspects were just a cover for giving them arms under some secret deal where they would shut off the CIA’s ability to run opium.
Cabal must be run like the 5 Families (at least at some high level if not the highest). With meetings where they all disclise their own plans and allow others to alter theirs to bwnefit. This would explain how each action generates multiple benefits and seems to have multiple aims.
I saw something recently that pointed out how the FBI under Hoover was a strong hierachy and mistakenly projected that structure onto “the mob”/ organized crime.
“Cabal must be run like the 5 Families…”
I believe the same.
“Russian tanks massing near Ukraine sport mods against drones and Javelin missiles.”
Ya, see the Ukrainians, stupid sh*ts that they are, used their Javelins like a toy and the Russians got smart. Ukrainians should have hidden them if they were really concerned about their own defense.

Re: the lead paint stuff – I had a close friend who I met in college that had done an enlistment in the Marine Corp prior to college. We had gotten onto the lead paint topic once and he mentioned to me that all the bases he ever went to were all lead paint walls. He said they had rooms upon rooms of full buckets of lead paint. He was told “the gov’t bought up a ton of it when it was still legal and just didn’t want to waste money on it and didn’t care about their troop’s health”, but with this taken into consideration, could it be that the military sources lead paint so that bases aren’t as easily penetrated by EMF? Thanks AC!
That sounds like exactly what it is. I still hear ads for lawyers who are suing the military because some Ear plugs they bought were not up to par, and thus now ever case of tinnitus is suing the military. If the lead paint were toxic, they would get rid of it in a minute. Especailly because whatever General did it would get a big ft job after retirement, for bringing them the contracts.
To be fair to the flip side, they may not get rid of it because the primary risk is direct ingestion and inhalation from sanding/demolition work. It’s not like standing in a room with the paint passively kills you, you have to get it into your body somehow, and they probably trust at least 51% of troops not to lick the walls and eat paint chips.
FWIW when my kids were little, the prevailing idea was not so much that kids would EAT paint chips, but that infants crawling on the floor would get dust containing lead from the paint on their hands, and then put their fingers in their mouths. This would be in older houses, or if you did renovation and sanded the walls, etc…. like it would always be there in your house dust, and you could never get rid of it. Older houses CAN be dusty. Having said that, I agree with you — plenty of kids lived in these lead-filled houses and I don’t think it was the lead that affected their IQ’s. Probably it was the vaccines……
It also suggests that the DOD doesn’t have any doses of Comirnaty to offer. If the DOD has zero doses, that high suggests that there are zero doses world-wide.
Phizer isn’t making Comirnaty. They are liable for Comirnaty. They are only making the EUA device.

> Biden repeats debunked claim he ‘used to drive a tractor-trailer.
Biden is just repeating what he sees on the teleprompter or hears in his earpiece. He’s so far gone, he probably doesn’t even know if he ever drove a tractor-trailer or any of the other widely-debunked stories he tells. Other than flashes of irritation he has the affect of a three-year-old; “the porch light’s on, but nobody’s home.”
One of these days they’re going to dust him off and lead him out into a press conference, and he’s going to say or do something the media can’t cover up.
It doesn’t seem that hard. I don’t know about numbers, but it doesn’t seem like anybody goes out of their way to watch one of his speeches. I might catch some of the funnier clips when people share them, but I don’t pay any real attention to him. That probably makes it very easy for “the press” to cover for him.
> But has anyone ever seen a kid eat lead paint chips?
—
And while there’s some lead in them, how much of it is bio-available in the paint, which is indigestible? And how many pounds of paint chips would they have to eat?
Like you, I thought the whole thing was over-wrought, but I had no idea why.
> Alec Baldwin says he didn’t pull the trigger.

>copper paint, the express purpose of which is to make walls less emf-permeable
Yachting anti-barnacle copper paint might have even higher concentrations and probably would hold up outdoors, at least on non-sun facing surfaces. Makes one wonder about the traditional lead roof tiles in Japan, and if there were forgotten defensive applications for them–
On the favorable end, maybe skyward directed open top EMF isolation boxes unduly assist in ‘abduction’ selection, and that there’s an ‘aetheric zebra effect’ in large human concentrations and EMF noise . . . might be handy against Terminator land drones, once They don’t require flesh and blood lackeys with vestigial guilty consciences to go door-knocking

Could see a distant justification for the Gadafi removal if he was selling excessive amounts of uranium on to places like China. Announcements like that ‘new’ tritium quarry discovered right after the Afghanistan pull out give pause; that would be the sort of strategic weapons production stranglehold one might gamble on, on top of the opium and Belt and Road blocking/training through sustained combat. Then again, forward deployment defense from the front has ground down the Navy to the point of diminishing returns right on time for the current year’s South China Sea situations. Maybe that’s too much credit to Rumsfeld types’ forsight.
Schwab’s book from the 70s, “Modern Enterprise Management in Mechanical Engineering” is relatively easy to find for free . . . apropos bug eating–

RE: Alec Baldwin
IF the shooting was accidental – BIG IF – he’s enough of a narcissist that he actually believes what he is saying. The only way a single action can fire is by first manually cocking the hammer, and then releasing the hammer by pulling the trigger all the way back until it releases. On a cocked revolver that tends to be a short travel with a light pull. It makes them easier to shoot accurately which is the real reason boomers tend to prefer them. The 1911 trigger can be tuned for similar performance, which is why boomers also like them, and competitive shooters, and special operators, etc – most are going to 2011 spec guns now like the Taran Tactical featured in the John Wick movies or the STI – Staccato that LEO SWAT seems to love. I am going in that direction, and BOOTSTRAPPY viewers will see it.
But back to Alec Baldwin, I just don’t believe this was an accident. It could have been a deliberate blood sacrifice for the Cabal, or it could have just been Alec who has very famously tussled with paparazzi and he was angry at her. He’s already demonstrated that he is going to pass responsibility off onto absolutely anybody that he can find.

Mick Jagger – 1959 “Seeing Sport”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_pQa0TGYCw
Looks like a Miles Mathis Committee sample. Mick Jagger on tv at 15 or 16 years old in 1959, four years before hitting the big time. It turns out (from the comments) the adult man is his father who had a long-running tv show in Britain about sports for young people. I read about Mick years ago and there was no mention of his dad being established in tv, in fact he was described simply as a high school PE teacher. Also, his dad was named Joe Jagger – now it turns out “Joe” is a nickname for Basil Fanshawe Jagger, which is a lot less humble.
Buried in the comments are some that get it. One points out the irony that David Bowie, Steve Marriott, Jimmy Page, Jim Morrison were all captured on tv in their childhoods, pre fame. Another responds that they’re groomed.
Apparently, the video got a sudden boost in viewers after Mick himself mentioned it on Howard Stern’s show a couple of months ago. Some kind of communications going on. Man, these people are creeps..
I watched the video…steel nail boots for climbing on rocks. Who the hell would do that?
The lead paint EMF-blocking idea is *beyond* interesting. How many policy decisions have we K strategists dismissed as “those silly r strategists,” where the reality is a calculated move to weaken Ks?
The policies of California are another example; I recall a water dam that was not built because supposedly some small, rare fish would have been killed. I used to think that liberals were just stupid (they are), but now I suspect that Cabal designs laughable excuses to cripple any sort of prosperity in the U.S.
Yes! I think we need to look at everything we are told as a cover story. I don’t think the left would ask for much of what is getting attributed to them. I think Cabal does it, and then says it was what the left wanted.
“…The policies of California…”
There’s all kinds of people saying that they purposelessly drained the water reservoirs. A clue would be how come all the reservoirs are empty except the one where it overflowed and tore up the spillway because they refused to maintain it? I mean how can they all be empty but that one overflowed. The water all comes from the same place.

Scumbags. Biden is their perfect President. 10% to the big guy. Now they sell our bodies, our very dna, through their testing and medical tyranny ‘cuz covid’.
The policy stuff has gone on longer than anyone thinks.
I think the important thing to keep in mind about Afghanistan is not that the US left, only the US military left. So now cabal can run Afghanistan as they want. Which means more drugs, instability, and an operating base to launch missions into neighboring countries.
If those things weren’t going on, the military would be back in a flash.
And yet, Heroin has disappeared, and they say Junkies are offering a premium for it because they say the Fentanyl which has replaced it is nowhere as good.
I think Trump and company struck some sort of deal with the Taliban, and it involved arming them up, and in return, they would force CIA out and make the whole country a no-go zone.
