and The Dome
On the annual American Alopecia Awards and dragons that come out. Behind that slap and that sad man cursing at the Alopecia Awards was a story. It is one of psychological manipulation, marital pain, cuckoldry, and being Hollywood, of course, boatloads of narcissism. Oh, and a non-life-threatening hair condition. This is what I learned, losing many brain cells in the process so you don’t have to. Alopecia is apparently no joke. You’d think by reading recent reports of award ceremony bitch slapping that alopecia can be just as dangerous as snow shoveling and just as deadly as cancer. At the annual American Alopecia Awards Sunday night things got a bit heated when the night’s guest of honor Jada “GI Jane 2” Pinkett didn’t take kindly to a joke by Chris Rock who was there to present the award for Best Alopecia Documentary Short. What do husbands do when their formerly separated back-together-again cheating wife is joyless, humorless, psychologically abusive, and subsumed by a self-seriousness only possible in narcissistic celebrities completely disconnected from reality? In the words of the great Black American philosopher-rapper PhiloDawg the answer is clear: “Smack dat nigga.” If you were to get this entire story from woke Twitter it would read something like this: Alopecia suffering 100x millionaires are some of our most vulnerable in society. Answering their call to correct the injustices of the universe with violence is always warranted, especially against hate speech, on live TV at the Oscars. Allow me to fill some holes in this story, pun intended. Cuckolded husbands are no longer a rare breed of a husband across the American Marital landscape. The happiness of one’s partner has become paramount to the success of western marriages and nothing is apparently off-limits in this quest. This itself is already a problem. The happiness of a couple who fly on private jets and have a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars is another consideration entirely. As the great comic Kevin Nealon asked, “What does one do for amusement when they’ve traveled everywhere and done everything that money can buy?” His answer was to try autoerotic asphyxiation or rather mock those who turned to the practice out of boredom. His question was an answer to a cultural problem that confused him at the time. Rich and famous people were dying buck naked with belts and ties around their necks, an odd thing in a time of peace, with no national revolutions. There are only so many ways to ‘get off’ in Hollywood, but in this case only if one can ‘get down’ in time. For teen girls, boredom and unhappiness can result in cutting themselves to feel something, as Mr. and Mrs. Smith’s daughter Willow started doing when her teenybop hit song only sold 1.5 million copies. Boredom has become endemic. More recently gender and sexual experimentation have become sources of post-modern amusement for the young and confused, the clueless and bored. Advertising pronouns with associated gender identity and sexual orientation flags are now a way to signal to one’s tribe that they are ‘hip to the causes du jour’ and not suffering from mental illness or longing to feel a part of something through conformity and submission. The point here being it’s not just the parents going in destructive circles, it’s a family affair. Apparently, the destruction of every member of the family unit has been a goal of official policymakers for decades, though it’s still considered a “conspiracy theory”. Black lives matter and other organizations have openly stated this is one of their goals. Welfare policies rooted in 1960s Great Society handouts planted the first seeds of domestic destruction and Hollywood (and Disney now openly) have been doing their best to accelerate the process on the cultural front ever since. Is this what Brandon’s “New World Order” portends? The family:
homosexual marriages will be legalized; parents
will not be allowed to raise their children
(the state will); all women will be
employed by the state and not allowed to be
“homemakers”’ divorce will become exceedingly
easy and monogamous marriage will be
slowly phased out.
The increasing prevalence of the cuckolded husband is just one of many symptoms of our bored and diseased culture hellbent on self-destruction. The examples are endless, but back to the story. In his desire to please his wife Mr. Smith believed her when she said she needed to go and “discover who I am again.” That required sleeping with a young rapper and using him for her self-discovery process. Apparently, the rapper suffered from an auto-immune disorder from opioid addiction and she was needed as both partner and mother to the young man in a way her husband never needed her. After her mission of using him to “heal her” was complete, she returned to her husband to resume their marriage and referred to the affair as merely having an “entanglement” as all honest and responsible people do. Mr. Smith consented to his wife going off to “find happiness” as they both put it, but could not conceal his pain for not being able to make his wife happy and has been accumulating that pain ever since so that it would eventually erupt in a public display of cuckold regret through violence. This marital drama is not unique in any way other than it involves two rich celebrities who lack self-awareness and an inability to grasp reality. Orbiting around them are two entitled rich children who are even further disconnected from reality than their parents. Every endeavor is about themselves. Every thought revolves around their own personal feelings. Communicating any ideas requires that ubiquitous sentence starter “I feel like…”. The topic could be about muscle car carburetors and they will still begin to speak on this topic with the words, “I feel like…”. I feel like that’s a big carburetor. I feel like this muscle car’s carburetor is like, old and stuff. Thoughts precede language. Thoughts about oneself permeate the raging narcissists of our epoch. Two generations of raging narcissists now commence their utterances with declarations of self + feelings. Is there anything more important in the universe than one’s feelings after all? Yes. One’s feelings about how many peopled liked a recent selfie that took hours to produce. Forgive me Good Citizens, clearly this story needs an ending before we all lose more brain cells. The drama climaxes with one nigga smacking another nigga before screaming “Keep my wife’s name outchya’ fucking mouth!” and no repercussions. Actually, they gave him an award shortly after the ugly episode and allowed him to speak on how God was calling him to love people. Seriously. After years of woke Twitter mocking the Oscars for being so white, did we finally get to see what #OscarsSoBlack looks like?
The entire affair can best be summed up by the angry and confused assaulting man when he said of his pre-entanglement behavior around his wife, “I was an insecure little boy that wanted Jada to say I was ‘great’ and if she didn’t say I was ‘great’, the dragon came out.” She went and had an affair, which she still refuses to call an affair and came back to a man who couldn’t please her or make her happy yet still wants her to think he is great. The anger and resentment built up like a volcano and erupted on Chris Rock. If his wife wasn’t there to make that stupid face would he still have reacted with violence? It started harmlessly with his laughter at a simple joke that his joyless insecure wife did not find amusing. He had to immediately overcompensate his behavior in his endless desire for wanting her to say he was great. And out came the dragon for a bitch slap in front of a couple of billion people. (counting replays in the digital ether) The End. Now go take a long bath. (read more)2022-03-31 c IS THAT SO? III There
is a lot to learn from Will Smith's recent Oscar
performance for Pfizer
Public Relations Shapes the Practice of Medicine Many of you have seen the sunglasses meme. It comes from a 1988 Movie called “They Live.” It revolves around Aliens covertly taking the world over and occupying positions of influence. The main character obtains glasses that allows him to see the their true forms, and he goes on a quest to disable their cloaking technology. This meme is used to illustrate the experience of “Red Pilled” individuals seeing society through a broader lens and not getting sucked into many of the scams the general populace is trapped in. After I learned about public relations, I began to see how many things around us were nothing more than PR campaigns someone paid for to achieve a stated end. Many industries are based upon developing a proven formula and using it over and over and PR is no different. My hope in writing this Substack is to help you develop those magic glasses so you can also see a broader perspective of the world around us. I’ve also been requested to write shorter easier to share articles (the next more detailed one about the entire population control business should be out this weekend). Today’s article is an abridged version of my previous article laying out the PR industry and how it works remarkably similarly in selling Pharmaceuticals and War. Since publishing that article, I came across a remarkable study that summarizes many of the key points within it. The differences between those wearing and not wearing the glasses appears to be greater than I have ever seen before in my lifetime.  A recently circulating meme summed up Sunday’s events quite well:  What is less appreciated is how common and typical these types of PR campaigns are. As Pfizer has produced so many drugs (often being convicted for criminal activity in the process), they have every step in the marketing process well laid out.When you initially want to sell a medication, the first step is to bring awareness to the disease so people will want to buy the medication (this is termed disease branding). For example, in my previous article, I discussed how many altruistic appearing patient “support groups” are actually just pharmaceutically funded organizations that exist to promote pharmaceuticals and bring awareness to the disease (and thus often promote things that harm the patients with the disease). Many of the things we currently regard as serious diseases previously were not viewed as such, and frequently (for example with depression) before being viewed as something you had to manage with drugs, had much better outcomes for patients with those conditions. The PR campaign around creating the disease of depression is probably one of the most impactful medical public relations in history, but beyond the scope of this article. The campaign I remember the best in regards to disease branding was Merck’s campaign for Gardasil, a HPV vaccine. Once they realized they had a potential way to prevent a female cancer (Cervical Cancer), a disease that had mostly been solved through pap smears, they set out to create as much hysteria about cervical cancer as possible, including doing everything they could to scare young teenage girls to death of it. A few close friends
of mine were in school when Merck’s One Less
Campaign was launched and remember how a sudden
hysteria about cervical cancer appeared out of
nowhere (as it was made out to be extremely
dangerous). This led to everyone to pressure them to
get the vaccine and many to eagerly get it. While
the campaign is not as prevalent now as it was at
Gardasil’s initial launch, as the above ad shows,
it’s still in use (Gardasil 9 came after the
original Gardasil). When the “fight”
between Will Smith and Chris Rock occurred, my first
thought was that it looked very scripted and fake
(people move very differently when they are fighting
as opposed to faking it like in professional
wrestling). Once I found out the information in the
above meme, I realized this was a textbook case of
disease branding, one of the many things you have to
do throughout the drug development process (this is
not well known, but drug development is actually not
the primary expenditure for drug companies, it’s on
marketing and lobbying). As hairloss is an
area that has a lack of safe and effective
treatments, I was curious to see how this drug
worked. While much of the data is not available,
very briefly I was able to infer the following: The drug in question, Ritlecitinib, is an irreversible JAK 3 kinase inhibitor (it does so through forming covalent bonds). One component of the immune system are the JAK Kinases. Covalent enzyme inhibitors (which often form irreversible effects) have had a variety of safety issues in the past which has led to them not yet having a wide spread adoption as pharmaceuticals. The Janus kinase enzymes
are responsible for aspects of the immune response
and normally promote inflammation and autoimmunity. Additionally,
another pharmaceutical which attacks the epithelial
cells within the mucosal layer of the body, Accutane
(Isoretinonin) is associated with a high rate of
severe chronic disease (I know numerous people who
have had their lives ruined by Accutane, and this
also can easily be found online). • Between December 2020 and December 2021: VAERS receives over 3,000 reports of vaccine-induced alopecia after first or second dose of Pfizer Covid vaccine. • February 2021: Arena Pharmaceuticals begins third round clinical trials for its new drug, Etrasimod, which treats alopecia. • December 2021: Pfizer buys Arena Pharmaceuticals for $7 billion. (Arena’s website is gone now, swallowed up by Pfizer; use the Wayback Machine if you go looking.) • March 23, 2022: Pfizer issues a press release announcing “Positive Top-Line Results for Phase 3 Trial of Etrasimod” (now called Ritlecitinib). • March 27, 2022: The Academy Awards begin, sponsored by Pfizer. … Chris Rock makes a joke about Jada Smith’s alopecia at the Academy Awards. … Will Smith sissy-slaps Chris Rock on live TV and acts very put out, and says some non-family-friendly stuff, but gets the award anyway. And gets to keep it. And doesn’t have to take anger management. … For the next few weeks, corporate media becomes fascinated with alopecia, how it hurts women, and why Jada Smith was so understandably upset about the joke. If only there were a safe and effective treatment! And, everybody’s talking about the Oscars. Bonus. I’m not saying Chris and Will faked the slap. Who knows? But it sure was a great night for sponsor Pfizer, a real marketing coup. My gosh, Pfizer is on a roll — it was so lucky that Chris Rock told THAT exact joke, and THAT exact joke made Will Smith mad enough to act out so totally uncharacteristically and coincidentally promoted Pfizer’s new $7B medication that treats a painfully obvious side-effect of its Covid drug. I mean, what are the odds!” (read more)2022-03-31 b IS THAT SO? II  2022-03-31 a IS THAT SO? I “The main obstacle to

— George Soros, 2006 2022-03-30 e THE BEST LAID PLANS IV #GotGoldorRubles? Russia Just
Broke the Back of the West
I don’t think everyone has yet caught the significance of Russia announcing they are putting a floor under the price of gold. But, to be clear, Russia just broke the paper gold suppression scheme. On Friday the Bank
of Russia announced:
For a few days previous to this announcement, which they knew was coming, The West was running around with multiple bits of legislation to try and keep the Russians from selling their gold. The G7 think the sanctions are hitting so hard that Putin will be forced to sell his gold to evade sanctions to pay for things. They are literally running a script in their heads that is not actually playing out in the real world. But, whatever, Neocons never met an ugly stick that they didn’t want to use to beat someone over the head with. Too bad all they’re doing is hitting a rubber tire. Boing! Because here’s the gig, Russia won’t be selling any gold. They’re buying it. These are supposed to be the architects of the global monetary system and you would think they are the ones that understand it the best. But, clearly they do not. What they think they understand is that they still control the flow of commodities around the world through price suppression schemes on the CRIMEX, LBMA and ICE. They do not. Ultimately, ‘outside money’ trumps ‘inside money.’
Money, It’s a Hit!Let’s start with the basics. Why do we create money? To act as a way to mitigate the time risk between selling what we have and buying what we want. So we sell our labor today to buy gasoline, printer paper or blow jobs tomorrow. In the meantime we hold money. It is a way to turn thought and personal application of energy and time into a token which can procure for us real goods in the real world. With that in mind, now think about the current financial system where all inside money is created by first selling a debt instrument to someone willing to hold it for a vig. Back to the ruble and gold. Because once I lay out the new incentive structure it will be clear as to why the G7 has no friends in this fight anymore. Davos’ power rests on the ability to create credit and sell it at a positive interest carry to commodity producers. Since base commodity production in any kind of efficient market should be a very low margin enterprise, think 1-4% real annual return, selling them debt to extract oil or gold out of the ground at higher rates than that ultimately sucks all the profit out of the venture. Free markets when allowed to function properly grind out profit through competitive arbitrage. It is both brutal and the spark of new innovations and efficiencies. It is the desire for higher profits over baseline that does this. In base commodities that is difficult, at best, to do. Why? Because they aren’t anything more than a second order good. First order would be the ore or timber harvested. Second order would be the ingot or lumber produced. The higher order the good, the more specialized it is and the higher opportunity for profit through product differentiation on something other than price emerges. That’s most difficult to do in improving resource extraction because, it follows, most of the major gains in efficiency occurred in the past when the economy was less specialized. Confusion Over ‘The System’If the banks are on both sides of the trade setting the price of money, then they ultimately control who wins and who loses while this goes on. And let’s not mince words, it’s them. The profit rolls up to those that produce the highest order goods with the most complex supply chains. The banks plough the profits from getting interest on the original debt into the very companies producing the higher order goods needed to ensure the lower order goods produce no wealth through the grinding out of profit via arbitrage throughout the supply chain. Don’t believe me? Ask cattle farmers. In this respect the current financing of these industries is nothing more than a virtualized version of the colonial economic model of the 15th through 19th centuries. Instead of using physical men to subjugate the locals through superior weaponry and bribes to get them to extract the mineral wealth which the colonialists take back home, today we use the post-WWII institutions to run that same system through debt issuance for capex and the interest payments (in this case pure economic rent – unearned wealth). The producer countries of all the mineral wealth in the world are nothing but debt slaves to the money masters in Brussels, City of London and New York. That’s the gig. Since we’ve reached the point of debt saturation where no more debt can be issued to extract mineral wealth and have the markets believe it could ever be paid back at these real yields, the system has to be reset. The whole Great Reset is a way to crash the existing system but leave the same colonialists in power legally. It’s not really more complicated than that. When you understand that dynamic now you can understand why Russia, in particular, is the vanguard of the Global South’s desire to change the System of the World. It is also the one country that has the commodity production power to expose the vulnerabilities of this System. That’s Nice… #GotRubles?And that’s where pegging the ruble to gold comes in. The Bank of Russia is now a buyer of gold at 5000 rubles to the gram, or 155,500 rubles to the troy ounce. At a Friday March 25th closing price of RUB96.62 vs. the USD that implies a gold price of $1610 per ounce. The ruble is now freely strengthening versus the US dollar. Now, that is not that remarkable on its own. As I explained on Twitter that day:
So, this scheme incentivizes Russians to hold savings in rubles, because the ruble is undervalued. It also incentivizes foreign traders to hold rubles because the ruble is undervalued relative to an overvalued open gold price. Clearly currency speculators in Moscow, Shanghai, Singapore, Mumbai and Hong Kong are having a field day with this. Coupled with Putin demanding ‘unfriendly countries’ paying for their Russian imports with either gold or the ruble, the natural choice is for them to buy rubles until such time as the price of gold and the ruble are in sync on international markets. The howls of pain from the G-7 and Germany in particular are equal parts pathetic and hilarious as they complain that Putin is in ‘breach of contract’ for demanding a different payment currency for gas other than the euros stipulated in the contract.
Pissed off Russians certainly have a way with words, as a writer, I appreciate this greatly. According to TASS:
Do you hear that Davos? That’s the sound of the ticking clock. The Trade’s the Thing…The reason why this current scheme is already working is that Russia runs a positive trade balance mostly in base commodity exports. Davos doesn’t want them making any money selling those commodities to the world and will continue to put sanctions on to get people to not use rubles. They are however fighting the invisible hand of Adam Smith’s market. The demand for the ruble will rise above the pre-war exchange rate of around 75:1 vs. the USD. The price point for gold/ruble implies that exchange rate. Russia will revisit this at the end of Q2. This also implies they expect the ruble/dollar rate to fall to 75 by the end of Q2, if not earlier. After that if the ruble strengthens beyond that they can adjust the gold buying price. If the ruble/dollar rate dips below their pegged price, buyers are getting oil at a discount when paying in gold. That will force the CRIMEX and LBMA into a supply shortage situation or they will have to end the expansion of paper gold versus real gold and allow real price discovery to the upside. If the sanctions
are successful in scaring everyone into not using As I talked about in previous articles, this sets up the opportunity to end the suppression of the price of gold through rehypothecation of physical gold in the paper markets which is the basis for the entire financial colonization system I described above. FYI, this same scenario is going to play out in Bitcoin now that Russia has said ‘friendly countries’ can pay for imports with Bitcoin. Has anyone noticed the current rally in the World’s Most Hated Cryptocurrency? We now have a full gold/bitcoin/ruble (and soon Yuan) interconversion system that completely and utterly cuts out Davos and destroys their colonial debt model while also taking away their power to crash economies through hot money in and out flows. Because the next step in all of this is for Russia to close their capital account and nationalizing the Bank of Russia making the only source of international rubles be the Russian government. Internally, the ruble will be de facto backed by gold and can circulate freely. The War Without End, EndedThe war is over folks. Russia, China and the rest of the Global South have already won. As Luke Gromen replied to me., “in the end there’s nothing they can do about it.” What scares me is the last thing I tweeted out in that thread:
And that’s exactly what I expect to happen next, sadly. Biden is in Brussels saying the quiet parts out loud talking with the 82nd Airborne about going into Ukraine and calling for regime change in Moscow. These people still believe their own bullshit to the point where they think this becomes a war the Russians can’t win. Putin let the world down easy with this announcement. He could have walked right in and said 8000 rubles to the gram or $2575/oz and that would have broken the markets Friday going into the weekend, by selling his oil and gas at a steep discount. He waited until after OpEx last Friday and the Fed’s interest rate hike plan was announced. Timing matters guys. But, by doing this he has very subtly also supported the Fed and it’s plan to withdraw dollars from Europe, because this will keep the price of gold in check for a little while and keeping the ECB from offsetting spiking Eurobond yields with higher gold reserves on its balance sheet. Putin on the left arm, Powell on the right and Lagarde is about to get pulled apart at the seams if Davos doesn’t play ball and give up. The problem there is the unquenchable arrogance of these European elites who simply do not believe they could be bested by the “colonies” in the US and the “dirty slavs” in Russia. I’ve told you for years now that it is their inherent racism that drives their actions. So, do not be surprised if they empower the neocons in the UK and US to escalate from here. The signs are piling up that the Pentagon and the White House are at odds over the planned escalations. The State and Treasury Depts. are nests of vipers having usurped Congress to wage war without declaring it. I can only hope that serious and adult people within the Pentagon will finally end this nonsense before we wind up in a war no one wants except a bunch of inbred Eurotrash well past their ‘use-by’ date. I always say that spooks start civil wars but militaries end them. Let’s hope that we never get to the point of needing any other military than the Russians’ to end this war. In the meantime, the message is clear, #GotGoldorRubles? (read more)* READER COMMENTS: Rubles today are not
backed by gold. The Russians very simply now require
unfriendly nations to pay up for Russian exports in
Rubles. And if such don´t have Rubles — most don´t —
Russia will kindly buy their physical gold bullion
to the tune of 5000 Rubles per gram which would be
equivlanet to USD $ 1550 per Troy ounce… until June
30… after which nobody knows what Russia may decide
to do.
But beware, Russia only BUYS gold and it doesn´t sell it for nothing no matter what you or anybody else cares to give them. And if for whatever reasons you have Rubles in your bank account you can indeed buy products and services that Russia would be willing to sell you albeit not always and not to unfriendly nations. But with those Rubles of yours today you CANNOT buy gold from Russia, they will not sell you any. — Brexitologist * Finally paper gold fraud
Ponzi gets destroyed. Bitcoin becoming a chess piece
to destroy the dollar hegemony is significant. This
war unfortunately is just the overture to the larger
conflagration expanding this fall. There is always
lag time to impacts on financial markets. You can’t
taper a Ponzi. There are counter parties to all
these commodity contracts that have imploded due to
these mad sanctions and Russia’s reciprocal actions.
We will see who is actually swimming naked. There is
going to a worse than Lehman event this fall for
sure as the Fed, the ECB and BOJ are unable to print
currency to cover the implosions. As they say when
all else fails they take you to war. I see what
these crazy neocons will do in succession. Invade
Saudi Arabia after they allow RMB trade for their
oil, create an insurgency in Ukraine that will spill
over Europe thereby creating security instability
all over Western Europe, collapse of European
economy means the unemployed population will join
criminal gangs and other revolutionary militias
furthering the political and security crisis in the
continent. By fall, the burn with us Neocons will
take the war to Asia by declaring Taiwan independent
unilaterally. Of course China will not take this
running through its red line lying flat. Chinese
fight wars differently adhering to Sun Tzu which
first exhaust all non kinetic and economic response.
Knowing how these neocons work they will ignite the
war through a Gulf of Tonkin like incident and all
bets are off for use of nukes and end of life
scenario. A war in Taiwan this time around is a
world war as it ignites North Korea, Iran, Japan and
others to the fray aside from the big actors. We’re
living in interesting times yet scary times indeed.
— Hendrix Harrison * Since August 15, 1971
and most specially since the London Gold Pool
bankruptcy debacle in 1968, the Bank of England and
the US Federal Reserve manipulate gold prices every
single day many times per day as per their exclusive
needs and wishes. It´s the Gold Ponzi scheme many
posters refer to which does not allow for any
possible gold price discovery.
(a) Russia does not
wish to engage in Euro-charity or traditional Euro
give-away subsidies.
(b) Russia wants to be payed for its produce, same as you or I would, right ? But Russia cannot accept dollars or euros that would be readily confiscated yet again by Western democracies. Such Western currencies are now WORTHLESS to Russia or anybody else subject to same THEFT. So beware of Western democracies which confiscate your accumulated bank savings without batting an eyelash if they care to. Accordingly, (1) Russia sells its
exports under very precise contract clauses.
(2) Russia used to be payed in dollars and euros but the WEST froze its accounts (3) Russia will not give away its produce for NOTHING (4) Russia accordingly says pay me in Rubles then… and if you have no Rubles pay me in gold (NOT confiscatable dollars or euros) at the conservative rate of R$ 5000 per gram I am buying your gold at which under CURRENT market prices is equivalent to USD $ 1850 per ounce Troy which is approx. 10% below today´s market price, not 20% as it was yesterday, for example. And if you don´t like my conservative price for your gold just pay me in Rubles. You don´t suggest going back to 3rd. century barter, do you ? — Brexitologist * I’m taking a contrarian
perspective on intent. Not on any of the detailed
analysis and economic ramifications, which is all
very insightful and fits very well. This probably
won’t be a popular opinion but I believe its highly
likely that the Davos cabal have fully intended
most, if not all, of the assorted economic
consequences (and related forecasts) that are in
play. I openly admit that my economic depth is about
as shallow as an inflatable wading pool in contrast
to a practiced analyst. Even still, by keeping up
with analysis and economic events, it seemed obvious
to me even before the first sanctions were dished
out (by the West against the western middle class,
placing blame on Russia) that Russia could easily
have the West and the dollar by the short hairs, if
Russia and the West ever went toe to toe in any
serious fashion. The energy dependencies built
around Russia are simply too strong. In fact, a
detailed hindsight review of related energy history
over the past 30 years demonstrates what looks like
intent to set up a dependency. Most of you will know
what I’m talking g about, re: diminishing western
energy infrastructure, as Russian infrastructure is
growing. So I have to ask myself the question: Are
the Davosian dogmatics so tunnel-visioned that they
couldn’t predict how this might play out? The
so-called economic playwriters entirely missed the
plot? Did they put all of the pieces in place in
Ukraine to draw Russia into a trap, without ever
examining or managing the associate risks? Is it
merely a coincidence that much of the fallout will
contribute to reset goals? Are we therefore
witnessing coincidence theory? Maybe I’m too jaded.
I’m not buying it.

Inside the alliance, there appears to be a fear that if Russia is successful in creating a financial trade system based on rubles, the G7 may lose influence on energy policy via climate change. Inside the western alliance, the geopolitical control mechanisms that use energy sector development are under stress. If global oil and gas is not exchanged in euros (European centric) or petrodollars (globally), the ability of the multinational agents to pressure climate change demands will be weakened.
The economic globalists need the oil/gas producing nations to stay linked to euros and dollars. The economic nationalists, who essentially generate most of the oil and gas that is used by the rest of the world, would be more favorable to a different form of currency for payment. Thus, inside the western alliance that triggered the sanctions, there is a problem. That problem becomes a pressure point for Russia to exploit, which is exactly what Vladimir Putin is doing by asking for payment in rubles. To
try and support the western alliance political effort,
the ideologically allied Ukrainian President Volodymyr
Zelenskyy is now pushing “green energy”
development. Getting the entire world economy
realigned through the tool of energy development is
the objective of the World Economic Forum (WEF) and
climate change globalists within the sphere of
international finance. The sticky issue remains
with Europe dependent on Russia selling energy.

d[...] For the first time in decades, the globalists appear to be shaken and unsteady. The underlying premise of their assembly is in the spotlight, and that premise is not as appealing as it was. Simultaneously, for the first time in decades, the benefits of economic nationalism are being reevaluated and reassessed, and there is an increased appeal in the self-sufficiency of sovereignty. THE BEST LAID PLANS IV Which Major Currency Will Be
The First To Fall?
...Could the euro beat the Yen in the race to the graveyard? Before saying anything else, it is important to note, when it comes to the major currencies, it is safe to assume they are manipulated by central banks. It is in the best interest of Central Bankers to keep them trading in a rather tight pattern as so not to rock the foundation of the global financial system. On top of the stress being placed upon economies due to the war in Ukraine, the one thing bankers don't want to deal with is the growing fear the fiat monetary system is about to fail. (image) The destruction of the myth that a major currency cannot fail could create a situation where we would see skittish investors dumping currencies in mass. As wealth rushed from currencies into tangible assets inflation would soar. When a currency implodes it fosters a transfer of wealth from those holding the now worthless paper to those holding other currencies or tangible assets. The group-think of all the major central banks until just recently has been concreted into a global monetary policy favoring inflation in order to support economic growth. This monetary policy is now being challenged by rising prices at the same time economies are slowing. It is important to remember that fiat currency systems depend on the faith of its users and participants to survive. The emergence of a slew of new cryptocurrencies is an indication faith in the current fiat currencies is beginning to wane. These digital currencies that have flooded the market are disconnected from central banks. Also adding to the perception we are about to see a major shakeup in the global financial system are efforts by countries such as China and Russia to move more trade away from the dollar. This is happening at the same time we see the cost of living for the 16 nations that share the euro currency rose to 5.1% in January, a new record high, few interest rate increases expected in 2022, and a time the German PPI is 18% and Spain’s 31%. (image) Recently, Zoltan Pozsar, an Investment Strategist at Credit Suisse and is based in New York, has appeared all over the media touting a theory that would affect us all. He is touting the idea Russian sanctions combined with its relationship with China and a crisis in some commodities are threatening the dollar’s reserve status. He claims this will bring about a Bretton Woods III event where commodity collateral may repave the road to hard money. While Pozar may not be completely right, if we are moving in that direction, the effect has broad implications for all of us. It would substantially redefine the relationship between fiat currency and tangible assets. A strong argument can be made that even though the BOJ is the top dog when it comes to monetizing debt it may not be for long. The ECB is catching up in the percentage of central bank holdings of government bonds in percent of total issuance. Considering all of Europe's problems the big issue is envisioning a scenario from which an economic renaissance might flow. To say the Euro-zone banking system deception which has been going on for many years is continuing understates the size of the fraud occurring before our eyes. A program known as "Target 2" has been the salvation of the euro and is responsible for preventing countries from collapsing. Since 2015 when Draghi started QE, the Bundesbank has been buying bonds on the market. The Italian central bank is dependent on the ECB which buys Italian government bonds. Germany then sends euros to Italy transferring the debt via Target 2 to their German bank. The growing differences in the Target 2 balance sheet are the result of the Germans taking these bonds. Italians have also added to the capital flight by liquidating their bonds and sending their money abroad. (image) Italy Is Far Worse Post Covid-19 Target 2 translates into enormously huge debt claims on the Germans that are not covered by any securities. In short, if Italy (or even Spain) would withdraw from the Euro-zone, the Germans would be left holding worthless paper. The bottom-line is Brussels and Germany must continue buying what could be considered, "bad debt" to keep the system afloat. All this raises the question of when the value of the euro will begin to reflect the stress which has been masked over and greatly ignored. In short, the choice of Europe has been whether to put a lot of bad debt on the balance sheet of the European Central Bank or deal with defaults and the contagion that flows from them. To be clear, many German economists criticize Target 2 and see it as a check that cannot be cashed. As for the yen, for a long time, many investors have viewed it as a safe-haven currency, so much in fact that it has been called a "widowmaker" trade for those betting on its decline. For years Japan has been the poster child and living proof that low-interest rates do not guarantee economic growth and prosperity. Going unnoticed by many investors is that the BOJ has been pumping up Japan's stock market by buying into the ETF market. This has morphed into a program that seems akin to Mario Draghi's fraud of doing "whatever it takes" to give the appearance their economy is moving forward. Following along the line of thought that while there is no way of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion years ago, Ludwig Von Mises wrote; "The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved." In short, the BOJ now has little choice but to go all-in which strips away any illusion all is well. (image) Japan Led The Way In This Experiment Before the "Bernanke has all the answers" era, many of us criticized Japan for failing to own its problems. At the time the idea was that only by letting its zombie banks and industries fail could Japan clean out the system and move forward. Instead, the Government of Japan ran huge deficits and ran up massive debt. For decades Japan languished and avoided disaster only by the fact that it enjoyed a large trade surplus year after year and was able to pigtail onto the rapid growth occurring in China. Today much of that trade surplus has vanished but Japan's massive debt remains. After 2008 Japan decided to put itself on the leading edge of an experiment to propel its economy forward. This includes the BOJ not only expanding its balance sheet but pumping up the market by jumping into the ETF market, what the country is not doing is taking big steps toward economic reform. All this has morphed into a program that seems to share a key focus on doing "whatever it takes" to keep the economy moving forward. The problem in pursuing the flawed policy of never allowing the market to slip but putting it on a path ever upward until everyone doubting the strength of the market finally capitulates is that it thwarts true price discovery. Recently articles have surfaced exploring how the central banks and governments have distorted true price discovery in stock markets across the world. By buying stocks they are taking or transferring branches of industry or commerce from the private sector to state ownership or control. The keyword here is "ownership." This is because the state may choose to abdicate control over decisions leaving them in the hands of management. It has been estimated the BOJ holds around 35 trillion yen, accounting for roughly 80% of Japan’s ETF market. In some ways, the actions of Japan's central bank could be considered nothing more than a new model of "stealth nationalization." This is a course filled with moral hazard since it destroys true price discovery the bedrock of free markets. We cannot underestimate the importance between assets prices and the feedback signals they send. These are critical in determining value, especially when it comes to assets such as stocks, bonds, currencies, or paper promises which carry no utility value and can perform no useful task. When true price discovery is lost or impaired management teams no longer get market feedback as to whether an executive decision is good or bad, this dilutes the market's ability to reward and punish companies no matter how disastrous their decisions. To keep the illusion of a viable economy alive central banks must continue expanding credit and debt so the wheels do not come off the economy. It is hard to create the illusion all is well if unemployment soars and defaults skyrocket. This means the central banks remain trapped in a box Ben Bernanke built, Janet Yellen reinforced, and Jerome Powell has not tried to escape from. It is easy to see how central bank policy, right or wrong, falsely accomplishes two things, it bolsters and supports current holdings while reinforcing the image markets are climbing higher because our economic future is getting brighter which is a narrative mainstream media is glad to provide. This may have started as a "short-term solution" but Ben Bernanke upped the ante by setting the money printing machines on high and flooding America and the world with QE. When other central bankers embraced this solution the world embarked on a grand experiment. The big problem is momentum seems to ebb shortly after each new wave of stimulus and another fix seems to constantly be needed. Current policies are not creating true growth in productivity or real wealth but simply driving up the value of certain markets and assets. This benefits those who own or have assets but does little or even hurts the poor or those who have nothing. It also increases economic inequality and social unrest. The harsh reality central bankers, politicians, and the world must face is the medicine for curing high inflation is high-interest rates. This will not go down well and to some an unacceptable solution. For years, Japan and Italy, both mired in debt, have been on artificial support. Not only the size of the debt, but the quality of the debt, suggest a huge drop in the values of their currencies must occur. Weakness in the euro or even the yen almost certainly will result in a stronger dollar which could be the catalyst for a crisis in currencies issued by emerging market economies. In short, there is the potential to see such an incident over to the rest of the developed world and evolve into a global deleveraging event. This will most likely be seen as part of the great reset many of us have come to expect will occur at some point. Meaning, promises will be broken and rules will be rewritten as we go through the wash. If I'm correct this reset will involve a massive transfer of wealth with many people having their assets rinsed away as society gets put through the wringer.

Purely Political Agenda
Over the past two years, the pandemic has been used to usher in a range of radical changes that would never have been accepted were it not for widespread panic. It was used to implement illegitimate voting rules, which appear to have had an impact on the 2020 elections. It was used to announce the urgent need for a “Great Reset” and a Fourth Industrial Revolution. It’s been used to strip people of basic human rights, and to justify radical environmental policies that will result in lower standards of living. It was also used to abruptly transition the vaccine industry from conventional vaccine manufacturing using eggs to the use of risky gene transfer technology. The only thing the pandemic has not been used for is to make recommendations that actually improve public health. And throughout, data have been massaged and manipulated to justify the unjustifiable. Now, it appears data are being manipulated yet again — this time to artificially end the COVID crisis so that the Biden administration can take credit for it during the upcoming elections. As stated in a February 24, 2022, letter from Impact Research, titled “Taking the Win Over COVID-19” (:22, 23 ) “It’s
time for Democrats to take credit for ending the
COVID crisis phase of the COVID war, point to
important victories like vaccine distribution and
providing economic stability for Americans, and
fully enter the rebuilding phase that comes after
any war. Below we lay out some strategic thoughts
for Democrats positioning themselves on COVID-19
…”
Strategic positioning includes declaring the crisis phase over; pushing for “feeling and acting more normal;” and taking the side of people who are burned out on COVID and don’t want to hear about it anymore. Not setting a standard of zero COVID as the “victory condition,” and to “stop talking about restrictions and the unknown future ahead.” “If Democrats continue to hold a posture
that prioritizes COVID precautions over learning
how to live in a world where COVID exists, but
does not dominate, they risk paying dearly for it
in November,” the letter states. ( 24
)
Dr. Anthony Fauci perhaps did not receive this memo, as he is out there signaling that we can expect a return to COVID restrictions at any given point. In a mid-March CNN interview, he stated that “we need to be flexible” and “if we see a resurgence, we have to be able to pivot and go back to any degree of mitigation that is commensurate with what the situation is. We can’t just say ‘We’re done, now we’re going to move on.’” Based on what we’ve seen so far, I wouldn’t be surprised if this “pivot” back into COVID crisis mode were to occur right before the midterm elections. Fauci:
If we see an increase in cases, we have to “be
able to pivot and go back to” COVID restrictions

One thing you must know: we are not entering the wishful robotic anti-utopia of social credit control, QR code management, and World Economic Forum / Klaus Schwab transhumanism.

See also: The Real ‘Reset’ Is ComingWhen ideologues demand power but cannot achieve it politically because they are cruel ideologues, expect more of their insanity to follow. With that exclamation, director David Lean ended his epic film about a dutiful but vainglorious British officer who sought to display to his Japanese captors superior British discipline and morale in a prisoner of war camp. As proof of British engineering superiority, he pursues his agendas by ordering his POWs to build for their Japanese captors a strategic bridge that otherwise they could not have built—only to try to destroy the efforts of fellow Allied soldiers sent to blow-up his masterpiece. For the delusional ideologue, reality must never intrude. So it is now. When the rock of green and woke ideology hits the hard place of reality, sheer madness always results. The world prices of oil and natural gas are skyrocketing. At the time of a major war in Ukraine, the Western democracies have framed the conflict as existential, with a Russia/Mordor on the attack against a declining West/Gondor. A subtext of the struggle is that the world’s illiberal regimes—fossil-fuel exporting Russia, Venezuela, Iran, and the various Middle Eastern autocracies—are getting richer by the day while destroying Mother Earth, as noble gas and oil importing green Western nations can scarcely afford to drive or heat their homes. Normally, the mad Left would not object terribly to the ensuing fuel price hikes. Remember, Joe Biden bragged on the campaign trail that he would end fossil fuels during his tenure. Obama’s soon-to-be Energy Secretary Steven Chu said during the 2008 campaign he wished to see American gas prices match those in Europe (i.e. $9-10 a gallon). And then President Obama himself did not disagree. He meekly added that such increases should be “gradual.” He had also warned that his cap-and-trade initiatives would necessarily “skyrocket” electricity prices—without suggesting that his off-guard brag was even a gaffe of unexpectedly telling the truth. So green orthodoxy dictates that the highest possible fossil fuel prices are good. Unaffordability will hasten the end of gas and oil, ensuring currently subsidized but uneconomical green energy as the only remaining alternative. But like most leftist top-down agendas, the details and consequences are usually hidden. After all, green wokeism usually exempts the lifestyles of its elite advocates. The Obamas currently are building a most un-green luxury Hawaiian beach mansion (their third such estate). And Al “Earth in the Balance” Gore got rich selling his failed cable outlet to a carbon-fueled Al Jazeera. Nonetheless exorbitant gas and heating prices are toxic politically to the middle class. Worse yet for the Left, we are currently in a Biden-created inflationary spiral, in the middle of a savage Ukrainian war, and facing a catastrophic Democratic wipeout in the upcoming November midterms. The result of green theory meeting cruel reality is sheer madness. As a good green, Joe Biden in one of his first acts sought to cancel the critical EastMed pipeline that is planned to feed over 10 billion cubic meters per year of natural gas into southern Europe. That clean burning fuel would enhance the suppliers, our allies Greece, Cyprus, and Israel. Yet Biden also dropped all sanctions against the Russian-German Nord Stream 2 pipeline, enriching Vladimir Putin with profits from global exports. Biden talked a good game, Corn Pop-style, to Putin—but acted in ways throughout 2021 that would appease Russia until it subsequently invaded Ukraine. What other than sheer madness is the logic of helping enemies like Putin and hurting our Mediterranean allies?
When Biden entered office, the United States was the largest gas and oil producer in the world. Yet he immediately began jawboning the oil and gas industry about their fated doom on the horizon, pressuring lending agencies not to aid the American frackers, canceling pipelines, ending ANWR, and stopping all new federal gas and oil leases. So Biden achieved his goal of higher prices and less U.S. production. But now politics wars with green dogmatism. And madness once again ensues. As a result, Biden has variously in the past months begged, but been rebuffed by Iran, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Venezuela to help out the Democratic cause by pumping their filthy, smelly, hot gas and oil, all of which we too have in abundance, but are too clean and too noble to tap. Finally, after trying to destroy the U.S. natural gas industry, he is on his knees begging it to export American supplies to fuel-starved green Europe—that has also mostly outlawed fracking. Here in California, Governor Gavin Newsom has gone mad. He reigns over the most expensive gas and diesel prices in the history of the United States, at over $6 and $7 a gallon respectively in most parts of the state. Californians suffer under the highest gas taxes in the nation and are shutting down nuclear plants. They seek reductions in clean burning natural gas generators at a time of drought when hydroelectric production is constrained. So what does Newsom do? To fuel his state, and keep a shrinking middle class sustainable, does he tap California’s huge gas and oil reserves? They are the seventh largest of the 50 states and might bring down prices in a state that consumes more fossil fuels than any state but Texas. No, that would be green heresy. So instead Newsom has proposed spending $11 billion in subsidies to drivers—at $400 per registered vehicle—so that the state’s drivers can buy more smelly, dirty gasoline and diesel fuel that they otherwise would not at the prohibitive, but secretly desirable, $6-7 a gallon price. Post-reset Democratic orthodoxy now says Putin and the Russians are evil. That narrative fueled the Russian collusion hoax, the Alfa-Bank hoax, and the Hunter Biden Russian disinformation hoax. But what if sealing a new “Iran Deal” is critical before the midterms to show something—anything—of substance after a string of Biden foreign policy disasters? In other words, which agenda reveals the greatest clout: Biden’s demonization of Putin as a “killer,” “bully,” “war-criminal,” and “butcher” or positioning Putin as the suddenly needed Iranian Deal 2.0 fixer? That is a tough call between Joe’s foreign policy “accomplishments” and Putin slaughtering Ukrainians. But in the end, nonetheless, we have asked the Russians to adjudicate a new Iran deal that almost certainly will pave the way to an Iranian-fossil-fueled nuke. Remember that Obama in 2012 invited the Russians into the Middle East after a 40-year hiatus. Biden will trump that disaster by ensuring Putin becomes the nuclear protector of the old Obama vision of a Persian-Iran-Shiite-Syrian-Lebanon-Hezbollah-Axis from Tehran to the Mediterranean—likely to be protected by nuclear Russia as an apparent counterweight to U.S. allies in the Gulf and Israel. Enraging ContradictionsThe southern border since late January 2021, for all intents and purposes, has ceased to exist. That is unless we are talking about Cuban and Russian refugees who seem to the Left to be too politically independent to embrace as victim constituents needing left-wing permanent government patronage. Yet the midterms loom. One of the most unpopular of Joe Biden’s initiatives is his welcoming of nearly 2 million impoverished, unvaccinated, unaudited, and untested illegal immigrants to cross the southern border. By any fair measure, Biden deliberately violated his oath of office by failing to enforce U.S. immigration laws. Political agendas outweighed his own promises to uphold the sanctity of federal law.
Yet he fears polls. Of all the Biden failures, the southern border and illegal immigration seem to infuriate Americans of all persuasions the most. So what to do? Spring is here. Warmer weather ushers in a huge new influx. Over 140,000 illegal immigrants entered in a cold February alone—at an annualized rate of nearly 1.7 million that will likely soar even higher over the summer. The collapsing world economy and stagflation will send record numbers northward. They will simply walk illegally into U.S. sovereign territory anywhere the detested Trump wall remains (intentionally) unfinished. Homeland “Security” Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has shackled the border patrol and destroyed its morale, turning a once effective border deterrence force into agents of their own humiliation as they watch thousands simply walk past them. Adding insult to injury, Biden—in the fashion of his rush-to-judgment support of the faker Jussie Smollett—was quick to condemn his own federal employees as mounted criminals who “whipped” illegal aliens from their horses. There was clear evidence that the agents were trying to block entry, did not whip any illegal alien, and were using long reins to maneuver panicking horses. No matter: Biden shot off the cuff with, “I promise you, those people will pay. There will be an investigation underway now and there will be consequences. There will be consequences.” Mayorkas then piled on against “those people” as weaponizing their horses. So how is that circle squared? On the one hand, Biden must encourage more illegal aliens from the south, but he also must alter the optics of such a summertime flood of illegal immigrants on the eve of the midterms. Or in starker terms, how does one galvanize a border patrol that the president had promised will pay for their purported sins when he temporarily needs such good team players to pose as orderly accommodators of the new influx for a few months? Answer? Mayorkas is calling for an emergency “DHS Volunteer Force” that will provide the appearance of “order” to an otherwise riotous mob-like scene at the border. Stranger still, the Left is demanding an end to a “Title 42” provision—the public health order during the COVID-19 pandemic that allowed for a quicker deportation of illegal aliens right at the border. Yet, at the same time, federal health officials and many in the administration are warning that COVID-19 is not over. With his accustomed gloom and doom, Dr. Anthony Fauci warns that the new variants of the Omicron wave may threaten to send us into yet another cycle of pandemic social distancing, masking, and quarantining. Who wins this left-wing agenda war—the Faucites who want permanent COVID-19 emergency powers, or the coalition of the La Raza-istas, the hard Left, and labor-hungry employers who want millions more of illegal aliens—when their shared open border agendas spell catastrophe in seven months at the polls? These contradictions that lead to insanity enrage Americans. They believe the fiascos of 2021-2022 were almost a case study how to destroy a great nation economically, materially, culturally, socially, politically, and militarily in just 14 months. Yet madness is
predictable when the unchecked left-wing’s demand
for limitless and endless power collides with a
hated, but unremorseful ideological agenda utterly

2022-03-29 e CONSEQUENCES V Matt Gaetz Enters Hunter Biden’s Laptop
Into the Congressional Record
2022-03-29
dAfter grilling FBI Assistant Director for the Cyber Division Bryan Vorndran about Hunter Biden’s laptop during a House Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) entered the contents of the device, and a receipt from the computer repair shop where it had been dropped off, into the congressional record. Although the FBI took possession of the laptop in December of 2019, Vorndran stated that he does not know its current location, or whether outside actors like Russia used the laptop’s contents to compromise the First Family. “Who has it?” Gaetz asked. “I don’t know who has it,” Vorndran replied. “What now you’re telling me right here is that as the Assistant Director of FBI Cyber, you don’t know where this is, after it was turned over to you three years ago?” Gaetz said. “Yes, sir. That’s an accurate statement,” Vorndran responded. “How are Americans supposed to trust that you can protect us from the next Colonial pipeline if it seems you can’t locate a laptop that was given to you three years ago from the First Family, potentially creating vulnerabilities for our country?” Gaetz asked. “Sir, it’s not in the purview of my investigative responsibilities,” Vorndran replied. Vorndran repeatedly claimed that he was not appearing before the committee to discuss Hunter Biden’s laptop, but to answer questions about the bureau’s cyber program. “So where is it? The laptop,” Gaetz pressed. “Sir, I’m not here to talk about the laptop, I’m here to talk about the FBI Cyber Program.” “You’re the assistant director of FBI Cyber, I want to know where Hunter Biden’s laptop is. Where is it?” Gaetz insisted. “I don’t know that answer,” Vorndran replied. “That is astonishing to me. Has FBI cyber assessed whether or not Hunter Biden’s laptop could be a point of vulnerability, allowing America’s enemies to hurt our country?” Gaetz asked incredulously. The congressman added that it “is shocking that you wouldn’t, as the Assistant Director of Cyber, know whether or not there are international business deals, kickbacks, shakedowns, that are on this laptop that would make the First Family suspect to some sort of compromise.” Later on, he requested unanimous consent to enter the contents of the laptop into the congressional record. After receiving pushback initially from Democrats, the request was accepted. (video) “Moments ago, I successfully entered the hard drive of Hunter Biden’s laptop into the Congressional Record” Gaetz tweeted. “SUBPOENA HUNTER BIDEN!”
Dubbed the “Spook
Who Cried Wolf Resolution,” the legislation states
that “the 51 signatories of the letter who publicly
and falsely decried Hunter Biden’s laptop to be
Russian disinformation should be barred from holding
any level of security clearances indefinitely.”
In a series of exclusive news articles, The New York Post in October of 2020, reported on a scandalous trove of emails between Hunter Biden and his business associates that were found on a laptop that was abandoned in a Delaware computer repair shop. One particularly damning email in the Post’s Oct. 14, 2020 report showed that Hunter Biden had introduced his father, then President Barack Obama’s vice president, to a top executive at Burisma Holdings, a notoriously corrupt energy firm where Hunter sat on the Board. A year later, Biden called for the ouster of a top Ukrainian prosecutor who was investigating corruption at Burisma, including corruption involving his son. Joe Biden has repeatedly denied knowing anything about Hunter’s business dealings in Ukraine. Within days, corrupt partisans in the bureaucracy produced a letter signed by more than 50 intelligence officials who stated that the stories could be Russian disinformation. They based their assessment on their experience as intel professionals. After falling dormant following the 2020 election, the scandal was revived earlier this month when the New York Times “confirmed” that the emails on the device are authentic. Before the election, the Times dismissed the story as “Russian disinformation” based on the disinformation the corrupt spooks put out. Republican Senators
on Monday released
bank documents showing wire transfers from a Communist

COPTIGATE - THE WORST DESIGN FLAW IN
HUMAN HISTORY THAT IS IMPACTING YOUR HEALTH
[...] Trying to tell your body to generate proteins is hard for many reasons. One of them is the fact that when you try to run the protein information via ribosomes which process that code and generate the protein, it can be very slow or can get stuck during the process. Luckily, scientists found a way to overcome this problem, by doing code substitution: instead of using the original genetic code to generate the protein, they changed the letters in the code so the code would be optimized. This is known as Codon Optimization. Codons are three nucleotides; nucleotides are the building blocks of your DNA. Here is an example of Codon Optimization: 60% of the codons were altered, 22% of the nucleotides were altered. And yet the end result is that the ribosomes generate the same protein! Same? Well, not so much. In 2011 Nature Medicine magazine published an article called "Breaking the Silence". It described how codon optimization, which uses this synonymous DNA changes, can trigger disease in a number of ways. https://doi.org/10.1038/nm1211-1536 Turns out the protein which was manufactured when codon optimization has different ways it folds and a different 3D shape, and it "could cause immunogenicity, for example, which wouldn’t be seen until late-stage clinical trials or even after approval". "The changed form could cause immunogenicity, for example, which wouldn’t be seen until late-stage clinical trials or even after approval." (Chava Kimchi Sarfaty, FDA) This statement relates to the NORMAL approval cycle. The COVID vaccines went via an accelerated one. "codon optimization can lead to alterations in protein conformation and function…. and increase immunogenicity….some of these elements can … alter protein folding, and lead to changes in protein conformation and post-translational modifications.” (Vincent P. Mauro) Protein misfolding "has been linked with neurodegeneration in Alzheimer and Parkinson disease, and many other pathologies." pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28441058/ "The data confirm that protein misfolding resulting in intracellular PAO accumulation is sufficient to cause cardiomyocyte death and heart failure." pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18612262/ So if it is so problematic, why do manufacturers use it? because "higher levels of protein expression are required for clinical trials and commercialization, and these expression levels can sometimes be obtained by using (codon optimization)" (Vincent P. Mauro, 2018) Pfizer is the most aggressive in their genetic code optimization (as far as we know); just read the abstract from "BNT162b2 Vaccine: Possible Codons Misreading, Errors in Protein Synthesis and Alternative Splicing's Anomalies" (read much more)2022-03-29 c CONSEQUENCES III

Civilization
2022-03-28
bWhat you are about to read was published exactly 100 years ago, and it frightening to see how relevant it is today as it was when it was first published. “The liberal middle class is proud of the abolition of censorship, the last barrier, while the dictator of the press - the owner of the media! - keeps the slave crowd of his readers under the lash of his editorials, telegrams, and illustrations. Democracy has completely displaced the book from the intellectual life of the masses by the newspaper. The world of books, with its wealth of points of view, which required thought to select and criticize, is now a real possession only for narrow circles. The people read one newspaper, "their" newspaper, millions of copies of which reach every home every day, captivate the minds from the early morning, make the books forgotten by their layout, and, if one or the other does enter the circle of vision, eliminate its effect by an anticipated criticism. What is truth? For the crowd, that which one constantly reads and hears. Its commanders create, transform, exchange truths. Three weeks of press work, and all the world has recognized the truth. … Their reasons are irrefutable as long as there is money to repeat them uninterruptedly. … The dynamics of the press want lasting effects. It must keep the spirits permanently under pressure. Its reasons are refuted as soon as the greater money power is with the counter-reasons and brings them even more frequently before all ears and eyes. At the same moment the magnetic needle of public opinion turns to the stronger pole. Everyone is immediately convinced of the new truth. One is suddenly awakened from an error. …today there are still morons here and there who are enthusiastic about the idea of freedom of the press, but it is precisely with this that the coming Caesars of the world press have free rein. Those who have learned to read fall prey to their power, and the dreamed-of self-determination turns into the late democracy of a radical determination of the peoples by the powers that the printed word obeys. …Without the reader noticing it, the newspaper changes hands, and with it the reader himself. … Money triumphs here too and forces the free spirits into its service. No animal tamer has his pack better under control. The people are let loose as a mass of readers, and they storm through the streets, throwing themselves at the designated target, threatening and breaking windows. A wave to the press staff and it quiets down and goes home. The press today is an army with carefully organized branches of arms, with journalists as officers, readers as soldiers. But it is here as in any army: the soldier obeys blindly, and the changes in war aims and plan of operations take place without his knowledge. The reader knows nothing of what is being done to him, nor is he supposed to, nor is he supposed to know what part he is playing in it. There is no more terrible satire on freedom of thought. Once one was not allowed to dare to think freely; now one may, but one can no longer. One only wants to think what one is supposed to want, and that is what one perceives as one's freedom. And the other side of this late freedom: everyone is allowed to say what he wants; but the press is free to take note of it or not. It can condemn to death any "truth" by not assuming its communication to the world, a terrible censorship of silence, all the more omnipotent because the slave mass of newspaper readers do not even notice its existence. … The time of the "book" is framed by the Gothic sermon and the modern newspaper. Books are a personal expression, sermon and newspaper obey an impersonal purpose. The dictatorship of the party leaders is based on the dictatorship of the press. Through money, one tries to snatch away multitudes of readers and whole peoples from the enemy's bondage and to bring them under one's own thought discipline. Here they learn only what they are supposed to know, and a higher will shapes the image of their world. One no longer needs, like the princes of the baroque, to oblige the subjects to serve in arms. One whips up their spirits, by articles, telegrams, pictures - the owner of the media! - until they demand arms and force their leaders to fight in the way the latter wanted to be forced to fight. That is the end of democracy. If in the world of truths proof decides everything, so in the world of facts success. … The thinking and thereby the acting of the masses is kept under iron pressure. Therefore, and only therefore, one is a reader and voter, that is, in double slavery, while the parties become obedient allegiances of the few. … Like English royalty in the 19th century, parliaments in the 20th are slowly becoming a solemn and empty spectacle. As there was the ruler’s stick and the crown, so here the people's rights are carried before the crowd with great ceremonial and are respected all the more embarrassingly the less they mean. … Money organizes the process in the interest of those who possess it, [Here lies the secret why all radical, that is, poor parties necessarily become the tools of the money powers, in Rome the equites, today the stock exchange. Theoretically they attack the capital, but practically not the stock exchange, but in its interest the tradition, … Half of the mass leaders are to be bought by money, offices, participation in business, and with them the whole party]. Through money democracy destroys itself, after money has destroyed the spirit. But precisely because all dreams have vanished that reality could ever be improved by the thoughts of some Zeno or Marx, and one has learned that in the realm of reality one will to power can only be overthrown by another...” The above is a direct translation from the original German version of The Decline of the West, volume II, written by Oswald Spengler, and published in 1922. I kept the
paragraph structure as it appeared in the original
version, and for the sake of visibility I did not
used italic font. The only thing I replaced in the
text was the word Northcliffe with “the owner of
the media”, as it was a reference to Alfred

Northcliffe, who was a British newspaper and

the physical side of life… Their only relation to
productive labor is that of consumers. They have no
experience of making anything substantial or enduring.
They live in a world of abstractions and images, a
simulated world that consists of computerized models
of reality – “hyperreality,” as it’s been called – as
distinguished from the palatable, immediate, physical
reality inhabited by ordinary men and women. Their
belief in “social construction of reality” – the
central dogma of postmodernist thought – reflects the
experience of living in an artificial environment from
which everything that resists human control
(unavoidably, everything familiar and reassuring as
well) has been rigorously excluded. Control has become
their obsession. In their drive to insulate themselves
against risk and contingency – against the
unpredictable hazards that afflict human life – the
thinking classes have seceded not just from the common
world around them but from reality itself.
Christopher Lasch, The Revolt of the Elites 2022-03-28 a QUOTABLE I Sociopaths have no consciences, whether they
are individuals, CEOs or inanimate corporations. They
lie, cheat, steal and manipulate others for their own
benefit (or, in the case of corporate sociopaths, for
the benefit of their profit-seeking shareholders,
employees, executives or boards of directors).
Corporate sociopaths are constantly trying to brainwash the public (some of whom are potential customers or employees) via propaganda, publicity, advertising, salesmanship, etc. Sociopaths always try to be charming when someone is watching, but the charm is usually fake. Sociopathic entities are often megalomaniacal, have delusions of grandeur, are manipulative, never admit guilt and, if they are ever caught saying something apologetic, are never actually genuine in their apology. Sociopaths tend to be compulsive liars and cannot be reasoned with. Large corporations (and also wealthy individuals) often have teams of lawyers to defend against any threats or lawsuits that their deceptive products engender, and they also employ large numbers of public relations people to make their public pronouncements, write their speeches and burnish their images. Corporate sociopaths will lie even when they know that they will get caught lying, but they will have made the calculation that any punishment won’t be unaffordable. Corporate sociopaths often attain great wealth and power through their deceptive tactics, and when they have “finally arrived” to a point of respectability, they will double down in their efforts to influence politicians with political “contributions/bribes” in order to create legislative advantages for their future businesses. As an example, laws mandating multiple vaccines for private citizens – whether there are valid medical contraindications or not (!) – will soon be a priority that sociopathic Big Vaccine corporations, their lobbyists and their paid-off or otherwise complicit or naïve legislators will impose on state legislatures in their attempts to legally (and fascistically) force through any number of pro-over-vaccination state laws. — Gary G.

2022-03-27
jSome speculation about the future. Here’s how the future looked to me in October 2020:
To nobody’s surprise, we did not get the vaccinator paradise. BioNTech, Moderna and AstraZeneca have not eradicated SARS-2, and this has been very bad for the imprudent politicians and public health gurus who presided over the past two years of social and economic destruction. It has left them to find their own way out of the maze, with no help from The Science that they so love to follow. But, we did not quite get the unmitigated purgatory of undifferentiated, ongoing containment either. In the event, there was Omicron, a third way. Omicron has proven to be incompatible with the containment regime, at least as currently organised. After a few months, the vaccines enhance Omicron transmission. The hardliners used their non-pharmaceutical interventions to drive everyone into the arms of the vaccinators, and now that the vaccines drive Omicron infections up, they just have no policies left. All that remains is the petty legal harassment of the unvaccinated. As if that weren’t enough, Omicron has unpredictable seasonality and it has finally made an open farce of contact tracing. The understanding that infection waves have their own dynamics, which like the weather are beyond our influence, is now implicit across establishment media. And finally, as I’ve noted before, billions of people now have personal experience with SARS-2 infection, which makes state propaganda about the grave threats posed by the virus a far harder sell. Some countries responded to these developments by dropping all pandemic measures, in some cases more or less overnight. Others, like Germany, are fighting to keep at least some of the Corona circus up and running. Superficially, you might say that in these jurisdictions, the stalemate I envisioned has actually come to pass, but that would be wrong. It’s not any institutional or political opposition, but rather nature and the virus itself, which has put the pandemicists on the defensive. They are left to ponder the possibility of future, deadlier variants which will require a return to harder containment policies and perhaps a new round of mass vaccinations in the fall. Meanwhile, almost everybody has SARS-2 antibodies of one kind or another. The virus must from now on operate in a world of pervasive immune resistance. We will know more after the fall, but I think it’s very doubtful that SARS-2 can ever summon the future variants necessary to restore its fading power. None of this is to say that Corona will vanish from the earth. The virus itself, together with its institutional legacy, will be with us for a long time. What has ended, is merely the acute phase of a much larger and longer-term phenomenon. In fact, I think Acute Corona has been over for longer than many of us realised. As staged by pandemic planners, virologists, and politicians, this charade was always meant to close with mass vaccination in the final act. When the vaccines failed, there was a paroxysm of rage and despair, and then the energy was gone. While Omicron finally broke the containment regime, it would’ve come apart in any case. After the vaccines, there was simply nothing left for anybody to do. Sooner or later, one jurisdiction after the other would’ve started looking for the exits. Omicron was the proximate cause only. We are left, then, with Chronic Corona, because while the specific energies SARS-2 called forth have exhausted themselves, the broader structures responsible for all of this remain not only intact, but strengthened, even optimised, for the pandemics of the future. We’ve entered an uncertain interwar period, where immediate capacity for action is expended, but the driving problems remain unresolved—if anything more deeply ingrained. There will be no repudiation of lockdowns, masking, and vaccine coercion for a generation or more. Millions of people across the world will now demand their governments respond in this way to every future pandemic threat. The institutional framework and legal understandings necessary to satisfy this demand is in place everywhere. Politicians and pandemicists know how much is possible, they know how much the people will put up with, and the next time they will push beyond even these boundaries. What I call the
‚pandemic industry‘ has been massively expanded.
SARS-related coronaviruses, and SARS-2 specifically,
will remain a a focal point of research around the
world for a long time, probably for the rest of our
lives. That means more lab leaks, harsher responses
to milder threats, and constant pressure across
academia and the bureaucracy for new laws and new
emergency powers. (read

Trump, was colluding with a hostile foreign sovereignty,” the president states. The ramifications could be significant as the Durham criminal probe continues to generate evidence that supports the Trump lawsuit.“Under the guise of ‘opposition research,’ ‘data analytics,’ and other political stratagems, the Defendants nefariously sought to sway the public’s trust. They worked together with a single, self-serving purpose: to vilify Donald J. Trump,” says one segment of the lawsuit. All of the claims within the filing are substantiated by documents outlining the history of the events.

Yellen Says Nothing Will Deter Biden Administration
from Eliminating Fossil Fuels
Current Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is a Davos/WEF devotee of the highest magnitude. Yellen is ensconced in the worldview of those who run the operations of central banking and global finance. She is the globalist secretary of world treasuries and has been throughout her professional life. As more people become aware of the Build Back Better agenda, or as some would say “The Great Reset,” and its direct connection to the dreams and aspirations of the climate change ideologues in the elitist class, it is worth paying attention when Yellen says nothing will deter the Biden administration from eliminating fossil fuels; and it is her role to make that objective financially possible. Yellen emphasizes the Biden administration position about how the conflict in Ukraine and the sanctions against Russia are an example of why the global energy resources need to fundamentally change to renewable resources. Her strength of advocacy, in alignment with the Davos/WEF position, is yet another data-point to highlight the predictable cleaving of the world economies into two distinctly differing groups of nations. WATCH It doesn’t matter how economically painful it is to chase these energy policies, the elitists who operate western governments are all-in on the same program. The same western governments who used totalitarian emergency powers to destroy liberty and freedom under the guise of COVID-19 mitigation, are the same western governments now aligned to use the crisis in Ukraine to advance their energy ideology.

Extreme Anymore. They’re Weird And Gross
2022-03-27
eThere’s an article in The New York Times that every Democrat leader should immediately read, if only for this one quote from Isabell Sawhill of the left-wing Brookings Institution: “This large group includes some people who are just plain prejudiced but a larger group that simply resents all the attention paid to race, gender, sexual preference or identity and the disrespect they think this entails for those with more traditional views and lifestyles.” Sawhill was talking specifically about “white working class” Americans who have drifted from the Democrat Party, though she could just as easily have been talking about literally any group of voters. And she just as easily could have summarized it this way: “As Democrats become more weird and gross, they predictably become less popular.” When Sawhill refers to “all the attention,” she means the absolute obsessions that have become the defining features of the party: racial “equity,” transgenderism, “toxic masculinity,” slavery— oh, and protecting the right of public school teachers to educate seven-year-olds about recreational sex. What’s not to like?! That Democrats are expected to lose their control of the House and possibly the Senate in this year’s election isn’t a surprise. Along with President Biden, they’ve been a complete disaster in their attempt to run the country. They’ve allowed violent crime to surge. They’ve caused prices on everything to go up. They refuse to do anything about the catastrophe at the southern border. And we’re literally on the cusp of spiraling into World War III. All of this is happening precisely because Democrats have decided that nothing is more important than race, gender and sexual identity. It’s not even close. Inflation? Doesn’t exist (okay, it exists but it will work itself out!) The border? Not a problem. Crime? Well, too many black and brown people are getting locked up so let’s talk about something else. Afghanistan? Ukraine? Wait a second, somebody stop Ron DeSantis! He’s preventing teachers from explaining to children why some men enjoy wearing high heels and panties! Democrats have taken the seriousness out of everything with their preoccupation with pronouns, “diversity,” and gender identity. Mr. President, we might have to shoot down some Russian aircraft, which would sharply escalate our role in the Ukraine conflict. Okay, let’s decide who gets to pull the trigger. Bring me names of some non-binary queers, throw in some womxn of color and a few Latinx. No Asians, please! This is barely even hyperbole. One of the Biden administration’s high ranking officials at the Energy Department is a “non-binary drag queen” with a public “dog-role” fetish. Biden’s Supreme Court nominee this week declined to define the word “woman.” And his ambassador to the United Nations declared last year that “the original sin of slavery weaved white supremacy into our founding documents and principles.” It’s all ridiculous, all race and sex, all the time. It’s not extreme. It’s weird. It’s gross. It’s the Democratic
Party. (read

b THE STATE OF THE DISUNION II BLACK & BROWN
PRIVILEGE
2022-03-27 a THE STATE OF THE DISUNION I Democrats, Judge Jackson, and
the 'woman' problem
The important thing to remember about the now-infamous "define 'woman'" exchange between Sen. Marsha Blackburn and Biden Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson is that Blackburn telegraphed her pitch. It wasn't a gotcha question. It didn't come out of nowhere. No one should have been surprised. On the opening day of Jackson's hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee, a day mostly devoted to senators giving their opening statements, the Tennessee Republican told Jackson the topics that she, Blackburn, would question Jackson about the next day. "I've got a few areas that I'm going to want to delve a little bit further with you," Blackburn said. "Right now, when I talk to Tennesseans, one of the most important things that they bring up is the issue of parental rights, and wanting to be able to rear their children as they see fit." Blackburn said parents are concerned about a "progressive agenda" in public schools. "Educators are allowing biological males to steal opportunities from female athletes in the name of progressivism," she said. "Some girls have been forced to share locker rooms with biological males. Rather than defending our girls, those in power are teaching them that their voices don't matter. They're being treated like second-class citizens, and Americans need a Supreme Court justice who will protect our children and will defend parents' constitutional right to decide what is best for their own kids." That's what Blackburn said on Day One of the hearings. So it should have been a surprise to no one that she raised the topic when it came her time to question Jackson on Day Two. Blackburn brought up a case called United States v. Virginia, in which the U.S. government sued Virginia over the Virginia Military Institute's male-only admissions policy. The Supreme Court struck down the policy in a 7-1 vote, and Blackburn quoted from the majority opinion written by liberal icon Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. "Supposed 'inherent differences' are no longer accepted as a ground for race or national origin classifications," Ginsburg wrote. "Physical differences between men and women, however, are enduring: 'The two sexes are not fungible; a community made up exclusively of one sex is different from a community composed of both.'" Those were Ginsburg's words that Blackburn quoted. She then asked Jackson, "Do you agree with Justice Ginsburg that there are physical differences between men and women that are enduring?" Blackburn's question was fair, on point, and, given her opening remarks the day before, entirely predictable. But Jackson was not prepared.
"Senator, respectfully, I'm not familiar with that particular quote or case, so it's hard for me to comment as to whether — " "Alright," said Blackburn. "I'd love to get your opinion on that. And you can submit that." That meant that Jackson, as all nominees do, could submit a written answer for the record later. Blackburn continued, "Do you interpret Justice Ginsburg's meaning of men and women as male and female?" "Again, because I don't know the case, I don't know how I interpret it," Jackson answered. "I need to read the whole thing." If you just stop there, it was an extraordinary exchange. United States v. Virginia, often known as the VMI case, was a very, very big deal. Some observers could not believe that Jackson, with her years at the highest level of the law, did not know the case. "It's truly a groundbreaking case, taught in every law school," said Mike Davis, head of the conservative Article III Project and a former chief counsel for nominations for the Senate Judiciary Committee. "She's either really not up to the job, or she's lying." It was only at that point, after Blackburn had brought up VMI and Jackson had said she did not know the case, that Blackburn asked the question, "Can you provide a definition for the word 'woman'?" The question was asked in a particular context. The word "woman" or "women" appeared dozens of times in Ginsburg's opinion in the VMI case. Jumping back into the present, Blackburn had already mentioned biological males competing against biological females in college athletics. So it made sense that she would ask, "Can you provide a definition for the word 'woman'?" "Can I provide a definition?" a somewhat surprised Jackson asked. "Yeah," said Blackburn. "I can't," said Jackson. "You can't?" asked Blackburn. "Not in this context," responded Jackson. "I'm not a biologist." It was an amazing moment, and a terrible one for Jackson. You have to be a biologist to know what a woman is? Who would say that? Perhaps Jackson could see, in the seconds she had to consider the question, that the whole topic was a minefield for a nominee backed by the progressive legal community. What about all those transgender activists? What would they say? Better to punt and suggest that only a biologist can really know what a woman is. Blackburn was ready for Jackson's dodge. "So you believe the meaning of the word 'woman' is so unclear and controversial that you can't give me a definition?" she asked. "Senator, in my work as a judge, what I do is I address disputes," Jackson explained. "If there's a dispute about a definition, people make arguments, and I look at the law, and I decide, so I'm not — " "The fact that you can't give me a straight answer about something so fundamental as what a woman is underscores the danger of the kind of progressive education that we are hearing about," Blackburn responded. Her point was made. Mike Davis, who has taken part in a lot of confirmations, wondered why Jackson didn't say something like this: "Of course I understand what the word 'woman' means in everyday life and meaning, but there are legal issues that could come before the court, Title IX or Title VII cases, so I just have to be careful." Instead, Jackson balked at giving any definition of "woman" and suggested that only academically trained experts could do so. Jackson's hearings are over, but the exchange will resonate. The issue of wokeism is becoming a bigger and bigger deal for Republican voters, and the fact that President Joe Biden's nominee would not answer Blackburn's straightforward questions will be difficult for Democrats to defend in this year's midterm elections. And that is before Republicans bring up the problem of Jackson's sentencing of child pornography defendants. There are 10 days left before the Judiciary Committee votes on the Jackson nomination, and then still more time before the full Senate votes. There is no indication any Democrats have wavered in support of Jackson — it's hard to imagine what it would take for that to happen — but it also seems true that Republicans are more and more troubled by what they have seen.

THE SOAP
2022-03-26 f CIRCLING THE DRAIN VI The FBI’s ‘FAFO’ Kidnapping
Plot Unravels
2022-03-26
eAmericans still want to believe that the country’s most powerful law enforcement agency handles its authority with care rather than recklessly ruining lives to advance a political agenda. It doesn’t. In the spring of 2020, or so the government’s story goes, an Iraq War veteran named Dan Chappel was scouring social media to find like-minded libertarians devoted to the Second Amendment when algorithms prompted him to a Facebook group called the Wolverine Watchmen, an online “militia group” formed just a few months earlier. Chappel reportedly became alarmed at violent “anti-law enforcement” rhetoric posted by some members of the Watchmen, so he notified police. Two weeks later, Chappel, under the code name “Big Dan,” became the lead FBI informant in a wild plot to “kidnap” Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, an act of domestic terror according to the Justice Department. Four of the six men originally charged are now on trial in a Grand Rapids courtroom facing federal conspiracy to kidnap and weapons of mass destruction charges. The other two pleaded guilty and are testifying for the prosecution this week. But defense attorneys argue the FBI entrapped the men by using at least a dozen FBI confidential human sources (commonly described as informants) including Chappel and undercover FBI agents over the course of several months to concoct the plot. During two days of testimony this week, Chappel struggled to maintain the government’s case while revealing what might be the most egregious example of FBI entrapment in decades. Chappel was paid more than $60,000 by the FBI for less than seven months of work; part of his compensation included a $3,300 laptop, a smart watch, and reimbursement for taking a loss after selling his eastern Michigan home that year. And far from acting as a conduit between the alleged militia group and the FBI—the bureau’s alleged raison d’etre for hiring informants—Chappel methodically coalesced a random group of misfits angered by COVID-19 lockdowns and Black Lives Matter riots to form the gang of would-be kidnappers. The burly Iraq War vet—working for the U.S. Postal Service at the time—along with multiple FBI assets, “ingratiated” themselves, one defense attorney said, into the lives of seemingly isolated, destitute men. Some of the defendants referred to Chappel as “dad” as he used his age and military experience to assume a father-like persona. (Kaleb Franks, one of the original defendants who pleaded guilty to kidnapping, told the jury Thursday that he wanted to be killed by police in a shoot-out because “a large portion of my family had died” and he was “struggling financially and just wasn’t happy.”) Chappel also took on another fake identity—a leader of the Wolverine Watchmen. Leveraging his imaginary leadership role for the Watchmen, Chappel acted as the “glue,” in his words, to unite the men. During two days of testimony this week, Chappel admitted he created group chats including one named “FAFO,” the acronym for “fuck around and find out,” on the encrypted app Wire and invited the defendants to join. Chappel immediately gave the FBI direct access to the chats while deluging his targets with daily texts and calls; nearly 1,000 texts were exchanged over a three-month period between Chappel and Adam Fox, the alleged brains behind the kidnapping plot who lived alone in what one witness described as the “dark, dirty” cellar of a vacuum repair shop in a Grand Rapids strip mall with no running water, sink, or toilet. With promises of free food and beer at nearby Buffalo Wild Wings—all paid for by the FBI—Chappel often enticed the defendants to meeting sites, training camps, and surveillance trips attended, and occasionally hosted, by multiple FBI informants and undercover agents. The FBI also paid for rented vehicles, gas, hotel rooms, and other related expenses to make sure the defendants could attend. Participants were usually drunk or stoned; during one event, Chappel admitted he drank six double Jack-and-Cokes to make it look like he was “going along” with the group. Every excursion and conversation was recorded then passed to the FBI. “Look at you, bringing people together,” Chappel’s FBI handler quipped in one text. Chappel’s group, however, started to splinter by late summer so he asked the FBI how to “apply more pressure” to prevent anyone from bailing on the still-undefined crime-in-progress. An FBI agent separately directed a woman named Jenny, another FBI informant portrayed as the leader of a Tennessee militia, to stop the group from kicking out Barry Croft, one of the more vocal members who had been under FBI surveillance since 2019 for allegedly making “anti-government” comments on social media. “Remind them of all his good ideas,” FBI special agent Kristopher Long advised Jenny. It worked. But Chappel and the FBI had a bigger problem by August 2020; there was still no concrete plan to kidnap Whitmer, he told the jury this week. And time was running out for the FBI, which clearly wanted to publicize the caper before Election Day. So the agency accelerated its efforts by introducing another undercover FBI agent by the name of “Red” to act as an explosives expert who could help the men build a device to blow up a bridge near Whitmer’s cottage in upstate Michigan. At a training exercise on a weekend in September 2020, “Red” brought a video of how to make explosives and showed it to the group. The video had been produced by the FBI. In the end, for all the smoke and mirrors, all the fake identities and phony friendships, the best the FBI could do was concoct an outlandish plan that even the most sophisticated criminals couldn’t pull off, let alone a ragtag collection of broke—and broken—men with no resources. Chappel explained to the jury that the scheme involved either stealing or borrowing two boats, anchoring them on the shore of Lake Michigan, driving to Whitmer’s remote vacation home, killing her security detail, abducting Whitmer, placing her in one boat with the defendants in the second boat, and either leaving her in the middle of Lake Michigan or taking her all the way across the lake to Wisconsin where she would stand trial for her anti-lockdown crimes. Setting aside the ferociousness of Lake Michigan in October—which on its own made the plot totally inconceivable—none of the men involved was capable of executing such a violent, elaborate plan. Further, the FBI had installed cameras and other surveillance devices at some point around Whitmer’s property so she was never in legitimate danger—raising the question as to why the cameras were installed before the men were arrested. Were they installed to protect her or to collect evidence of the defendants scoping out the property during a “reconnaissance” trip organized by Chappel and other FBI assets? The trial is expected to last at least a few more weeks and produce more fireworks. The defense filed a motion this week asking the court to compel the testimony of Stephen Robeson, a longtime FBI informant and convicted felon central to the Whitmer kidnapping scheme. Robeson, now accused by the Justice Department of acting as a “double agent,” was removed from the government’s witness list. But the defense wants the jury to hear from the informant responsible for organizing several meetings and trips. He reportedly plans to invoke his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. Entrapment defenses are very hard to prove. Americans still want to believe that the country’s most powerful law enforcement agency handles its authority with care rather than recklessly ruining lives to advance a political agenda on behalf of the Democratic Party. Unfortunately, recent history proves the latter is true. The name of Chappel’s
group chat—“fuck around and find out”—ultimately
might apply more to the FBI itself than to the
defendants he helped entrap. (read

That 27% was presumably just orthodox Jewish diamond merchants. Jews have set up a system where most blacks are afraid to attack them if they’re wearing their locks and yarmulke, because they know all hell will come down on them.
“Homelessness and mental illness” is “democracy Ukraine” tier bibble-babble. It’s actually much worse. With the Ukraine, people can’t see it with their own eyes. With “rising crime,” everyone knows what is going on here. Every single person in America knows what is going on here. They are forcing people to deny the reality right in front of their faces. Don’t play that game, kids. Just call em niggers.

GENDER THIEF
It’s sexual. Autogynephiles are turned on by
women’s discomfort and get gratification from those
women having to (i.e. being forced to) validate them
as women. In Thomas’s case, the pleasure is twofold.
There’s the discomfort he causes by competing, and
there’s the exhibitionism and voyeurism of sharing a
changing room with those women. The sexual thrill of
it all must be immense.
Then there’s the attention and adoration society at large showers autogynephiles with. Believe it or not, they find that validation sexually gratifying as well. Of course, they also enjoy other aspects of it, such as financially benefitting from the whole thing, but the fetish is their main driving force. Usually Blanchard’s writing gets mentioned in relation with, but “Anne” Lawrence, himself an autogynephile, also gives a pretty good insight into the kinds of things autogynephiles get off on (including some kinds of validation and inclusion that would seem innocuous to most people, but are very much sexual to the autogynephile), and how dedicated they are to constantly chasing that thrill. Once you understand the nature and force of the fetish, nothing that autogynephiles do, or that the trans movement gets up to, is surprising or confusing anymore. Swimming is more or less incidental here, just a means of obtaining the sexual gratification and societal adulation. If Thomas cared about the sport itself, or enjoyed honest competition, he never would’ve started hormones and would’ve kept competing with other men. After all, it’s not as if he suffers from any kind of dysphoria, as is obvious from poolside photos, though only the Daily Mail published the bulge pics, so much of the public probably assumes the poor dear has had the operation. In reality, of course, the vast majority of today’s MtFs aren’t dysphoric in the slightest. Even among the small minority of them who do go through with the penis inversion there’s a considerable number that are not dysphoric, but simply porn addicted perverts chasing that sissy hypno thrill a step too far, only to find out that propaganda about the wonders of the neovagina are a sham and the sexual gratification they once got from their fetish is largely a thing of the past. How very tragic. (source) 2022-03-26 b CIRCLING THE DRAIN II NBC takes heat for airbrush of
WilLiam
Thomas
2022-03-26
aAn image of controversial trans[vestite] swimmer Lia Thomas that aired on The Today Show was manipulated to make her appear more feminine, experts said. “The edited image has definitely undergone some sort of softening and smoothing effect,” Jonathan Gallegos, a former White House director of digital content for President Trump, told The Post. “It’s clear this job was not done by a professional. This level of skin smoothing is a hallmark sign of an amateur job.” “Wow. That’s really bad,” said a photographer who wished to remain anonymous for fear of reprisals from trans activists. Thomas — a biological male — made headlines last week after blowing fellow female competitors out of the water to win the 500-yard NCAA title. The allegedly doctored image of Thomas ran on The Today Show and posted to Twitter on March 17. The touched-up photo removed facial lines, skin discolorations, notable red impressions on her face caused by goggles, and blurred the adam’s apple. The show later ran the original photo — warts and all — in a clip posted to Twitter on March 18. The apparent effort to make Thomas look more like a biological female was first picked up by The Post Millennial website after making the rounds on Twitter. Reps for NBC and “The Today Show” did not respond to multiple request for comment. Media critics blasted NBC, saying the move had been disingenuous and unethical. “In this day and age, news organizations should know better,” said Curtis Houck of the Media Research Center. “My first reaction to this was it harkened back to CBS altering Katie Couric’s appearance so she appeared slimmed down or perhaps the most infamous and egregious example of Time magazine altering O.J. Simpson’s skin color.” Abigail Shrier, an author who has written critically on trans issues, accused the network of trying to “pull the wool over the eyes of the public” by pushing the misleading image. “NBC is protecting
a cheater by cheating. Doctoring photographs is a
violation of everything journalism stands for,” she
said. (read

OnlyFans star discovers father
is subscriber: ‘Hottest Daddy user is my dad’
______________________It’s a dirty daddy disaster. Family ties nearly unraveled for an OnlyFans star named London when she realized her father had subscribed to her channel and had been faithfully watching her saucy content on a monthly basis. “Me realizing *the Hott3st Daddy* user was my dad getting all my content on my [OnlyFans] every month,” said London, from San Diego, California, in the captions of her now-viral TikTok testimonial. “Real story,” she titled the eye-popping post, which has raked in more than 85,000 views and more than 300 comments from concerned critics. “Bruh this has
to be a crime, ain’t no way,” inked one perturbed
commentator. “Do you continue to talk to your dad
after finding something like that out?” another
questioned. But a small faction of her less judgmental followers countered the dad comments with praise, applauding the woman’s dad for supporting his daughter’s online business venture. “Does that mean he is a good or bad dad? Sounds supportive to me,” said a daddy defender. “We love a supportive father,” chimed another, using several handclap emojis to emphasize their excitement. London did not
immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment. (read
