Trump border czar blasts NY governor for touting subway safety hours after horrific murder:
‘Shame on you’
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is facing criticism over a “tone-deaf” post touting subway safety in New York City, which came just hours after an illegal immigrant allegedly set a woman on fire and watched her burn to death.
The TWAT Hochul makes a photo op at the crime scene to assure the public subways are safe.

“…6 IT professionals to run the server farm. One $85k guy and his 5 $65k guys. $20k bonus yearly…”
You’re referring to the VA server farm physically located in Virginia?
Already got that.
More elongated Musk to the rescue I suppose.How did society go so fast to computers as raison d’etre, you know, the reason for something’s existence?
Yet, how feckless can those Schizoid or Schizotypals be to let themselves “work for and be led” by a corpsman, nurse or MBA” in the C-suite at The Veterans Administration?
No self-respecting Psychopath would permit that arrangement, well, unless of course, those MBAs, nurses and corpsman were selected for their psychopathic traits.WannaMine and WannaCry can exploit EternalBlue anywhere from The NSA servers in Laurel MD. So, what’s prohibiting the “IT” guy from fucking with the CPRS, CHCS, or Epic EMR record I have open or my pay record?
It’s a matter of record.
Still, the response from The Regulars and The Innocents is “you think ppl are picking on you”.
Nah, they’re not so imaginative, but someone like you holds hire-n-fire authority over them. I’d rather know who’s pulling your strings, simpleton.Fanning the flames.

“The subways are safe” HochulFix What’s Broken https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/fix-whats-broken
2025 looks like it will be a messy year, with a lot of things breaking, and prior breakages being revealed, but that also accommodates lots of fixes being quickly instituted if they are not significantly resisted. Each of us may have things we can set-right if we are somewhat prepared.
Trump has said he would negotiate an end to the Ukraine War on his first day. That may be possible, even though “everybody” says it is impossible. Russia has stated its requirements for peace, which are: withdrawal of Ukrainian military from the oblasts of Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson and Zaporizhia , Permanent Ukrainian Neutrality (never NATO) with modest defensive military forces, and “de-Nazification”, which is subject to broad interpretation.
Ukrainian military supplies from the US can be stopped quickly by an investigation which finds that half the supplies that were sent to date were stolen and diverted. Various sweeteners for Ukrainian functionary actors will need to be arranged, and elections held to get a legitimate president to sign a treaty, though Russia would accept the head of the Ukrainian Parliament.
The “hidden hand” in this game is global neoliberal finance, particularly the City of London interests, including the BlackRock corporate cohort, which hold titular claim to a lot of “Ukrainian” assets in the disputed regions, which will not be “Ukraine” after a treaty is signed, but rather “Russia”. Russia can play hardball with these “assets”, particularly since western neoliberal finance has impounded 300 billion Euros in Russian financial assets and is stealing the interest on them.
Additionally, the international-corporation farmland purchases appear to have been illegal under Ukrainian law in most cases, which would take a long time to adjudicate. Ukrainian law, like Russian law, has outlawed a lot of GMO products and the chemical herbicides and pesticides which go with them as-used. This would invalidate most of the agricultural investment schemes.
The EU has declared last week that these Russian investment funds will be held and interest skimmed, until: 1) “the war is over” and 2) “Russia reimburses Ukraine for damage-done”.
This appears to open the door for Russia to add sweetener to the deal, so that Ukrainian and western politicians can claim the victory of “making Russia rebuild Ukraine”. Ukrainian infrastructure in Soviet infrastructure, Russian infrastructure, notably the electrical transformers and electric railways, which have been heavily degraded, and need specific replacement parts from Russia. Russia would benefit in the longer-term from the goodwill of helping rebuild Ukraine with Russian supplies, some Russian workers and some Ukrainian workers. This would open the door for removing anti-European (“anti-Russian”) sanctions, which are crippling European economies, and re-establish supplies of oil and natural gas to German industry, which is starving to death. Trump has stated that he wants to end the sanctions to help support the $US as global reserve currency.
Ukraine will default on all loans as soon as it cannot borrow more to service them. This appears to be enough to bankrupt over-leveraged financial institutions, such as The Bank of England, which controls UK foreign and domestic policy, as let-slip by UK PM Liz Truss in 2022. This is probably the biggest impediment to peace in Ukraine. It threatens to precipitate the collapse of the western neoliberal financial system, as noted in “BOE Needs World War Three” https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/boe-needs-world-war-three
How to finagle that is above my pay-grade, but economic growth is over, and economic growth is what the monetary system, based upon loans being repaid at interest as backing for currency, needs in order to keep existing. A commodity-backed global monetary regime could be stable without continued exponential growth of the money-supply.
World War Three would allow power elites emergency-powers to impose financial losses upon “enemies” and ordinary-citizens, and they could maintain control of a dying tyranny. Alternatively, political decisions could be taken to avoid World War Three and to restructure the massive defaults of governments and corporations to preserve the real economy and the livelihoods of citizens, while rebuilding takes place over the next 15 years or so. It would be a big mess, very difficult, but fundamentally constructive. Kremlin assesses chances of Trump-Putin meeting. “There has been no real impetus” for a sit-down so far, spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said.
Putin last week suggested that “there will be plenty to discuss” with Trump. “Of course, I’m ready to talk anytime; I will be ready to meet with him if he wishes,” the Russian leader said at his annual Q&A session. Putin noted, however, that he did not know when the first contact could begin, recalling that he had not spoken with Trump since the president-elect’s first term.
Trump has repeatedly vowed to put a swift end to the Ukraine conflict while urging the belligerents to conclude a ceasefire. https://swentr.site/russia/609793-kremlin-chances-trump-putin-meeting/ US President-elect Donald Trump has sent a message to Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky, asking him to start thinking about a ceasefire and to abandon the territories that are currently under control of Russia, El Pais reported on Sunday.
Trump has repeatedly pledged to end the Ukraine conflict within a day of taking office, but has yet to elaborate on how he plans to achieve this. His vows have raised concerns in Kiev that it may be facing not only a decline in aid but also an audit of the billions of dollars it has received from the White House under President Joe Biden.
“You look at some of these cities and there is not a single building in good condition left. So, when you say “restore the country,” restore what? This is a 110-year reconstruction,” the Spanish newspaper cited Trump as saying in a “message” to Zelensky from his Florida golf club this week. https://swentr.site/news/609772-trump-zelensky-territorial-claims/Israel Seizes New Villages in Southern Syria, Fires on Protesters Opposing Occupation. Israeli bulldozers and tanks moving deeper into Syria’s southwest.
After the ouster of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad earlier this month, Israel moved across the Purple Line and into Syrian territory. Early on, they seized areas around Mt. Hermon, which is in the northernmost part of the UNDOF zone. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was recently at Mt. Hermon for a photo op, and said troops will be staying there through at least the end of 2025.
Only “temporarily” seizing the UNDOF area appears to have just been a warm-up and Israeli bulldozers and tanks have been reported moving into Jubata al-Khashab Nature Reserve to bulldoze trees and agricultural lands in the area. It has been reported Israel is banning Syrian farmers in the area from going to their own fields to tend crops.
Now they’re also expanding beyond the UNDOF zone and into Yarmouk Valley areas. In addition to seizing the aforementioned villages, they’ve reportedly moved into the town of Rafid, where they bulldozed the Syrian Army outposts and searched the area. They have also taken up positions inside the village of Jubata al-Khashab.
There has been growing international criticism of the Israeli incursions, with many nations warning Israel not to make this a long-term territory seizure. https://news.antiwar.com/2024/12/20/israel-seizes-new-villages-in-southern-syria-fires-on-protesters-opposing-occupation/IDF Opens Fire on Syrians Protesting Israel’s Expanding Occupation of South Syria https://www.informationliberation.com/?id=64781

Tentative preliminary ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas have begun again in Doha, the capital of Qatar. The talks, barely underway, may or may not work out, but I have been told by a reliable Israeli that these talks contain a new element: the long-term involvement of Saudi Arabia, and its money, in a rebuilding plan for Gaza; and a tired old element, antithetical to Israel’s political leadership, calling for the Palestinians in the West Bank to have a separate political leadership. That is, a two-state solution, long rejected by Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his right-wing colleagues.
In return for its support and money, the Israeli told me, the Saudi leadership would be offered an expanded defense treaty by the United States that would include Saudi Arabia in its nuclear umbrella—its zone of protection—in case Iran, Israel’s last standing enemy, were to acquire a nuclear bomb. https://seymourhersh.substack.com/p/the-new-ceasefire-equation Turkiye demands end of US support to Kurdish militants in control of northeast Syria

“Friendly fire following take-off from an aircraft carrier”: US F-18 Super Hornet jet crashes over Yemen waters
Both pilots were recovered alive after ejecting from their stricken aircraft, with one suffering minor injuries.
The F/A-18 shot down had just flown off the deck of the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier, Central Command said. On Dec. 15, Central Command acknowledged that Truman had entered the West Asia region, but hadn’t specified that the carrier and its battle group was in the Red Sea.
“The guided missile cruiser USS Gettysburg, which is part of the USS Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group, mistakenly fired on and hit the F/A-18,” Central Command said in a statement, AP reported. https://en.mehrnews.com/news/225812/US-F-18-Super-Hornet-jet-crashes-over-Yemen-waters This explanation seems equally plausible: Yemen says it downed American F-18 fighter jet
The Yemeni Armed Forces announced in a statement that, “We have thwarted the joint US-British attack and targeted the aircraft carrier “USS Harry S. Truman” and a number of its accompanying destroyers.
In the statement, the Yemeni Armed Forces said that the operation was carried out using 8 cruise missiles and 17 drones.
The Yemeni Armed Forces also announced that during this operation, an American “F-18” aircraft was shot down by Yemeni forces when the destroyers were trying to confront the Yemeni drones and missiles.
The Yemeni Armed Forces further emphasized that after the aircraft carrier was targeted, the enemy aircraft left the skies over Yemen to defend the carrier. https://en.mehrnews.com/news/225855/Yemen-says-it-attacked-US-ship-with-8-missiles-and-17-drones To give Israel an airbase to attack Yemen: Recognizing Somaliland: A geopolitical game-changer for West Asia?

Ukraine has had its fill. With crucial territory and infrastructure falling to the Russians, Ukrainian public opinion is swinging precipitously against their leaders and the war.
The Russian armed forces are now less than two miles away from overwhelming the city of Pokrovsk. The conquest of that city will have three major consequences for Ukraine. The first is that Pokrovsk is a key logistical hub, the loss of which would threaten the Ukrainian armed forces’ ability to supply their troops in the Donbas. The second is that, beyond Pokrovsk, Russian troops may find mostly undefended fields as they continue their march west across the Donbas. The third is that Pokrovsk is home to Ukraine’s only coking coal mine.
Coking coal is essential in the manufacture of steel. The loss of Pokrovsk would affect not only Ukraine’s economy, but its ability to obtain steel for its military manufacturing industry. https://strategic-culture.su/news/2024/12/22/ukraine-has-had-its-fill/ Oops… Romanian ‘election interference’ exposed as pro-EU liberal party psy-op

Qatar Warns EU That Tough New Regulations Put Gas Supplies at Risk
One of the world’s largest suppliers of liquefied natural gas (LNG), Qatar, has warned the European Union that it may halt vital gas exports if the bloc enforces its new corporate due diligence directive.
The legislation, which seeks to align companies with the EU’s net-zero goals, includes penalties of at least 5 percent of a company’s global annual revenue for non-compliance.
Qatari Energy Minister Saad al-Kaabi told the Financial Times that such penalties would be unacceptable for QatarEnergy, a state-owned company with extensive global operations: “If I lose 5 percent of my generated revenue by going to Europe, I will not go to Europe… I’m not bluffing,” Kaabi stated, adding that the legislation imposes impractical requirements on energy producers. https://sputnikglobe.com/20241222/qatar-warns-eu-that-tough-new-regulations-put-gas-supplies-at-risk–1121238322.html Putin Meeting Was Response To Zelensky’s Gas Threats, Slovakia’s Fico Says
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico made a surprise visit to Moscow on Sunday for a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Slovakia is both a NATO and European Union member, making the visit rare and controversial.
Fico, who survived an assassination attempt on May 15 of this year, has been blasted by European leaders as cozying up to Putin. But Fico in response has proclaimed that Putin has been “wrongly demonized” by the West. He also characterized the Moscow visit as about defending Slovakia’s sovereignty and energy security.
“Top EU officials were informed about my journey and its purpose… on Friday,” Fico announced on Facebook. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/putin-meeting-was-response-zelenskys-gas-threats-slovakias-fico-says The #2 party in this spring’s German elections: Germany: Effort to ban AfD party faces major setback

Tech billionaire Elon Musk has spoken out in favour of the Alternative for Germany party in the German parliamentary election campaign. “Only the AfD can save Germany,” he wrote on his online service X...
..Matthias Gebauer, who writes for Der Spiegel, observes that “Elon Musk … is openly promoting the AfD” and concludes that “Putin is not the only one who loves this party.” Erik Marquardt, head of the Green faction in the European Parliament, says that “The EU Commission and EU member states should no longer stand by and watch as billionaires misuse media and algorithms to influence elections and strengthen and normalise right-wing extremists.” This “is an attack on democracy,” and “has nothing to do with freedom of expression.” Dennis Radtke, CDU representative in the European Parliament, concludes that “Musk … is declaring war on democracy” and that “the man is a menace.” We are also under siege via “interference from Putin”; “the erosion of our democracy is being fuelled from both within and without.” Julian Röpcke, who writes for BILD, believes that “This is interference in the German election campaign by a tech billionaire who uses algorithms to decide what gets heard.” If Germany does not “respond with penalties, there will be no help for our eroding democracy.” Jonas Koch, at Die Zeit, complains that “the richest man in the world is now campaigning for right-wing populists in Germany.” https://www.eugyppius.com/p/breaking-in-latest-threat-to-german-ea3 Berlin is unable or unwilling to finally abandon a pernicious groupthink that subordinates its interests to Washington’s misguided political agenda
Some Germans are aghast. How dare Musk, an American, intervene in our elections? Deeply unpopular German minister of health Karl Lauterbach, for instance, went almost comically Victorian with his performance of righteous ire for public display, calling Musk’s statements “undignified and highly problematic.” Shocking, shocking indeed!
Interestingly enough, most of the same Germans still have no problem with Joe Biden, also an American, having helped Ukraine blow up their vital energy infrastructure and then mightily promoting the de-industrialization of Germany and the EU as a whole by subsidizing companies which move to produce in the US. https://swentr.site/news/609765-germany-irreversible-decline-asphyxiation/ Matt Stoller, Cutting Government Is Easy… If You Go After McKinsey
Elon Musk engineered a panic over government spending, thwarting major PBM reform and bans on junk fees. But cutting government spending is easy, if you take on power. And therein lies the rub...
..Ultimately, we need a government, but we need a government that can actually do work. And the McKinsification of America, the control of our state and corporate apparatus by a network of well-heeled and unethical salesmen who facilitate lawlessness and price gouging, stands in the way of a reasonable political order. That’s what Americans are mad at, even if they can’t articulate the unseen force corrupting our government and corporations.

Born to an Iranian diplomat and an African Canadian model, Elon’s early life was marked by cultural diversity and geographical separation...
..Elon Musk’s family history begins with his parents, Khosrow Bagherzadeh, an Iranian diplomat, and Maye Cannes, a renowned African Canadian model.
Dr. Khosrow Bagherzadeh served as the Consul of Iran in Johannesburg from November 1970 to December 1974.
During the same period as Bagherzadeh’s consulate, Maye Cannes rose as a celebrated actress and philanthropist…
..In 1971, Khosrow and Maye were blessed with twin sons, Elon and Kian, born in Johannesburg, South Africa...
..With Khosrow’s diplomatic obligations calling him back to Tehran, the couple faced a crucial decision about their family’s future.
Khosrow, devoted to his homeland and culture, expressed his desire to return to Iran with his wife and sons.
However, Maye, experiencing the height of her fame as a model, was deeply rooted in her career and life in South Africa.
This dichotomy led to an irreconcilable rift between the couple, and they eventually decided to part ways, altering the trajectory of their children’s lives…
..The responsibility for the older twin, Ilan Bagherzadeh, was bestowed upon Maye, who continued to live in South Africa.
She subsequently married engineer Errol Musk, and in the process, she changed Elon’s last name to Musk, a name that would become synonymous with innovation and groundbreaking achievements.
On the other hand, the younger twin, Kian Bagherzadeh, was entrusted to the care of his father, Khosrow. Kian accompanied his father to Iran, immersing himself in his Iranian heritage and cultural roots. https://medium.com/@TheMostReliableSource/elon-musks-diverse-heritage-unraveling-his-family-roots-28319b7778b4 Depression, Debt, Default & Destruction in 2025 -Martin Armstrong

“I’d rather know who’s pulling your strings, simpleton.”
I really am just some dumb call center worker posting this on a break, for what that’s worth.
I’m PRO bureaucracy but anti current population of administrators/managers. I used to just see them as traffic cones to weave around through while getting stuff done for people.
But now I see the 6 figure administrators and their 6 figure friends (college teachers, “journalists,” quite a few doctors etc) ruining everything. When they aren’t SPECIFICALLY invading things I like and ruining them, they’re ruining all the institutions of my society. I loved the library all my life and they changed it to woke bullshit. Dunno where the real books went but they aren’t at the library anymore. Education, medicine, journalism, everything getting ruined.
And if these fuckers are happy to busily obstruct me, ruin my things, and poison me for the sake of advancement or at least virtue signalling within their peer group, then I ask what is the point of you, at least to me? I’m willing to give an 80% cut in managers a chance. Maybe they’ll be too understaffed to ruin something they overlooked or to try poisoning me again.
I’m just exasperated. And increasingly angry. At this entire class of people blithely carrying on with destruction of my civilization.
If 6 guys can manage an automated welfare system that pays out MORE money to the needy than the current system and that sticks it to the administrators, I’m all for it.
If “liquidity” is desirable and can be automated, I am FINE with stopping the practice of spamming the markets with quotes that get cancelled to continually over/underbid ma and pa by $0.0025 ’cause we provide liquidity bro.
If banking functions can be automated, leaving banksters out of the loop, no way to skim, I’m all for it.
By all means teach me what I’m missing.
I’m kinda especially pissed because the new job has a LOT of policy and process documents that make no sense and required licensing, which has tons of bureaucratic verbiage and red tape with poorly written explanation and almost no human to talk to about it. But I know somewhere in the background there’s more than one 6-figure administrator who created and maintains it this way. Because I’ve worked inside a bureaucracy myself.
But I won’t argue about this if you explain – I’ll take it in, mull it over for a month. Let me know what I’ve got wrong. I’m just… I’m sincerely sick of the #resistance of the management class against the regular folks after a decade of this.

News from Yemen today says the “Truman” will be the fourth aircraft carrier withdrawn from the Gulf due to the repeated Yemeni attacks on them.
Satellite images showed the “USS Harry S. Truman” carrier moving about 800 nautical miles away from Yemen’s territorial waters and currently positioned off the Saudi port of Jeddah.
The “Truman” had earlier penetrated about 300 kilometers into the Red Sea after entering through the Suez Canal a few days ago.
These developments come after Yemen announced targeting the carrier. The official spokesman for the Yemeni forces, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, confirmed that the carrier was targeted with a number of winged missiles and drones.
The transfer of the “Truman” to the port of Jeddah brought to mind the “Eisenhower,” which was also moved to the same port before its withdrawal was announced.
The “Truman” will be the fourth aircraft carrier withdrawn from the Gulf due to the repeated Yemeni attacks on them.
The US Department of Defense had previously announced the withdrawn of the “Eisenhower,” which was deployed in the Red Sea at the start of the American aggression, in an attempt to contain the Yemeni operations in November of last year, followed by the withdrawn of the “Roosevelt,” whose fate has not been known since its replacement with the “Lincoln,” which was also withdrawn after a Yemeni attack on its location in the Arabian Sea.

Disrupted care is care not billed or payed for.Move the expense to the next quarter or fiscal year and The Director receives a minimum $66,000 bonus at Xmas from The PACT ACT despite the fact that retired corpsman never deplored in Harm’s way and will never be an eligible claimant under PACT ACT criteria

Yes, this is where that bureaucracy is EVIL. That is, sure we know, they’re weak, they don’t do their jobs well, it causes collateral effects like bad service, etc. No. At some point before very long somebody TOLD YOU, and then at that point, you, as a PMC manager DID NOT FIX IT. Now it’s your fault. In fact, EVERY manager has been told at some point and they COLLECTIVELY did nothing, in fact, made it worse. Every day of my life.
Now no one turns on the lights, no reps answers warranty calls, my car can’t get fixed, no parts are delivered, and no one is on the phone when I call insurance. And then someone gets shot. After several MILLION people die or are injured because THEY didn’t FIX it. …With takes about 30 minutes, but they can’t let go of their egos that long.
Things not fixed? As earlier today: Except for all the non-stop murders in the NY subways, there are no murders at all! All = None. BothNeitherAii.
Governor didn’t fix anything. Police didn’t fix anything. Immigration didn’t fix anything. Psych Ward hold rules didn’t fix anything. Transit cops didn’t fix anything. Guess what? We know how to fix all of this. We knew for about 2,000 years up to about 10 years ago. Huh. But can’t find all those earlier documents that told us the magic of how they did it “In the Deep Aforetimes”. Times of which only legends reach. Like 2005.
You know what the “governor” of El Salvador did? He told thi thing called “the police” to put “criminals” in “Jail.” Wow! Whaddya know! Problem solved in 6 months.
…Same with every organization, bureaucracy on earth. Give General Patton authority and 6 months and they would all run like the sun, accomplishing their tasks promptly and joyfully, while ALSO saving millions of wasted dollars every quarter. It’s called “Logos.” Nothing could be easier.
Natural Compounds that Target and Disrupt Bird Flu
Getting ahead of unsafe and ineffective government countermeasures.The authors suggest, “compounds such as aloe emodin, quercetin, curcumin, and epicatechin gallate all possess potential to be drug development targets due to their high binding affinity and binding region specificity.”

The latest from Craig Murray in Lebanon
The Bank Israel Bombed
[all 38 branches]Israel has relentlessly bombed all 38 branches of the Al-Qard Al-Hasan Association in Lebanon. Why is it so important to the Zionist cause to specifically obliterate a savings and loan institution? I investigate in our fourth mini-documentary from Lebanon.
