Gerard Dou A woman playing a clavichord 1665 • Trump Has Two Years To Push His Biggest Policies Through – Gingrich (JTN) • What the Trump Nomin
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle December 6 2024]“Raw nodules are found at the bottom of the ocean and contain all the components needed for electric car batteries. Its estimated there are enough to create over 200 million batteries and their worth is estimated up to 16 trillion dollars”
Keeping with the ponzi that is global finance, this is what is sot after. Monetize every last thing on the planet that can possibly be used in some way. Water and air are on the list. Think about monetizing the air you breathe! It has already been trialed. Masks! You’re not paying for the air per se but you are paying for something to pass it through before you can use it. Hundreds of trillions in unsecured debt, trillions of molecules of oxygen that could be monetized, problem pushed a little further down the road.

“UK Podcaster Faces Prison For Saying “Young White Girls Are Being Raped by These Grooming Gangs”
It’s imprisonable offense to quote the government’s own numbers, releases, and reports. Just as during Covid. Or that “Illegal Immigrant” is literally the U.S. Federal government’s legal designation for much people and used a million times a day internally in their own court cases and correspondence.
You see, peasant, when – I – say it, it’s legal and true and right. When YOU say the same thing, it is dirty, evil, and wrong. Know your place. Only the Priests may enter behind the veil of the Temple, because we’re Better than You.
Literally. We got to this level where using the government’s own language is illegal. Congratulations, I’m not even sure that level has ever been exceeded before. Not in the USSR, not under Nimrod, never.
“48% Of French People Want Zero Immigration
French society shifts even more to the right on immigration, with women and young people the biggest supporters of zero immigration”Why do they hate women so much?
“Will Trump Keep or Break His Vow to Release the Secret JFK Records?
Why would I believe him, but also why would I care? Again, the government FOLLOWS us. It doesn’t, it no longer matters because like 70% of the people ALREADY believe the CIA killed JFK. That was the point of releasing the records to get the number up there to consensus reality, but if it’s there already, along with the downstream conclusions, what’s the point? We did it without them, or despite them. So after 99% of all people believe it, and it’s perfectly without any risk at all, then ten years later they will release the truth. Just to make sure.
Same with UFOs. They’re looking for “Disclosure”. What do you mean? Not the hundreds of thousands of documents already official, nor the several hundred whistleblowers, true and false??? That wasn’t “disclosure” or evidence to you? When the Mexican government or the US Navy put it on official record, that wasn’t “disclosure”? For why? Here you have an official government body, taking a risk and putting it in official government documents, internally, externally, and also publicly for widespread media release. Yet there is no “Disclosure” and we still don’t know what we know, that THEY know.
And that’s fair, as anything released by government we presume is a lie, but that’s not the reason the same people feel it didn’t happen. They were looking for an outsized emotional reaction and consensus reality to be attained by THE PUBLIC. When that didn’t automatically happen, they back-presume government didn’t “disclosure”. Or not enough, I guess.
Same thing as JFK, here the government DID, to some small extent, take risk and lead. Still didn’t matter. The PEOPLE lead. THEY decide. …Or rather, as Bernays said, a small cadre of media men and ad executives decide. Test case: Smoking, 1990. One day everybody smoked, although they already knew it was dangerous; two years later no one did. No laws, no new info, nothing. Technocracy, ad-executive influence of what “We” do and know. Just as Bernays promised, that is the real power.
“Senator @LindseyGrahamSC: “I’ve known @PeteHegseth for a long time. I served with him in Afghanistan. The people over there said nothing but great things about him.”
You served? “He also served in Afghanistan during the August 2009 Senate recess….In 2014, Graham received a Bronze Star medal for meritorious service as a senior legal adviser to the Air Force in Iraq and Afghanistan from August 2009 to July 2014, overseeing the detention of military prisoners.[2][1] In 2015, he retired at his last rank of colonel from the Air Force with over 33 total years of service,”
Ugh. Now my faith in all the armed forces is shattered. What little there was.
Anyway, “Little Boy” Lindsay likes Hegseth? Nearly deadly recommendation. So with friends like that, is there any good in Hegseth at all?
“• Trump Has Two Years To Push His Biggest Policies Through – Gingrich (JTN)
That’s a business as usual plan. No go, that won’t be good enough right now.
““I would think that the the election results were incredible repudiation of where they’ve been taking the country,” [Thune] said”
But like Starmer are NOT an affirmation of YOUR policies. Might want to check on that. You are radically pro-war and love health insurers for example.
“Many of Trump’s picks are well outside the usual Washington, DC/New York political, media, and corporate nexus.”
That’s terrifying, as from my point of view they’re all completely IN the nexus.
“But that is precisely the point—to insert reformers into a bloated, incompetent, and weaponized government”
…And do what? Fire 99% of the people? You’re going to need a head of steam on to turn the dial even a little. …So it will never happen. If say, Russia whacks Europe for being naughty, Eurobanking collapses, causes a pan-Western contagion, and we have no MONEY to do these things, THEN you can turn the dial. …All of which is likely and likely planned.
“He will not serially lie under oath to federal investigators as did interim FBI Director Andrew McCabe, a current Patel critic. He will not forge an FBI court affidavit, as did convicted felon and agency lawyer Kevin Clinesmith. He will not claim amnesia 245 times under congressional oath to evade embarrassing admissions as did former Director James Comey. He will not partner with a foreign national to collect dirt and subvert a presidential campaign as the FBI did with Christopher Steele in 2016. He will not use the FBI to draft social media to suppress news unfavorable to a presidential candidate on the eve of an election. He would not have suppressed FBI knowledge that Hunter Biden’s laptop was genuine—to allow the lie to spread that it was “Russian disinformation” on the eve of the 2020 election. He will not raid the home of an ex-president with SWAT teams, surveil Catholics, monitor parents at school board meetings, or go after pro-life peaceful protestors.”
…And nobody went to jail. Arresting people for their religion is 1A.
But anyway, he has support, as does Kash Patel. Why? That itself is a bad recommendation, although Kash may have all their FBI blackmail files. How are these guys any different from Gaetz, who they decided not to like?
Well, at least he and Kash appear willing to fight. Are you sure they’re Republicans? Haven’t been body-snatched or something?
“• Trump Appoints David Sacks As New ‘White House AI & Crypto Czar’ (JTN)
PayPal Mafia. Warning: Technocrats of a digital tyranny. And dangerous because we don’t need any specific man, or plan, or path to get there. The existence of the tech is enough, if not restrained.
Got it? Here’s the other problem: like Wall Street, they are actually on our side and against say, the WEF, “Build Back Bitter” plans. We need to win, and we need to get this breathing space and this chance, however, allying with them is similar to tying up with the South and Plantation Slave Owners in 1770. We would have lost if we didn’t, but doing so caused enormous damage. Your pick. We’re all adults here. There’s no rainbows and unicorns where if you just click your heels there has to be a winning move.“• Tulsi Gabbard A ‘Regular Reader’ of RT – ABC News (RT)
Good Lord! As a military expert and potential information nexus she READS the opposition? Well, I say, being aware of information definitely precludes her as she must be entirely ignorant of other points of view at all times. Right ABC? Again, meta-meta: PEOPLE DO NOT EXIST AND HAVE NO WILL OR AGENCY. Therefore, the very act of READING means you’ve been taken over, instantly obey, and have become Borg-ified. …Only journalists from Swiss Boarding schools, who cry on camera and have never been exposed to anything, anyone, or any other points of view are immune from this instant, brainwashing attack. Because “They’re better than you.” When THEY, ABC, reads the same articles, they are NOT affected by them, because they are Superior Beings™ and God’s angels, his agents on earth, doing God’s Work every day.
This is the key pivot of Left and Right. Both the Tabula Rasa, but ALSO that they are smarter and better than you and have to tell everybody else what to do. They have the RIGHT, the DUTY. …Liberal White Woman’s Burden. Against Brown Hindu women, who are subhuman. Little Jungle Children who need their AWFUL help.
And you wonder why I find them unbearably offensive. That’s LITERALLY Plantation Racism. That they are little children, so master cares and knows best.
Tucker-Lavrov: You see Tucker is NOT one of the Special People™, the sort that wear helmets in public and now masks. When he talks to Lavrov, the first word turns him into a Borg mind-control puppet. Not at all like the 4B women who are getting sterilized because they can’t have serious abortions due to non-stop serial loose sex. That’s totally sane and normal.
“Thomas Jefferson impounded funds. So did Madison, Buchanan, and Grant. Herbert Hoover, the CRA paper notes, “vigorously employed the impoundment power to decrease government spending in the midst of the Great Depression.”
FDR “refused to spend more than $500 million in public works funds on policy grounds.” Lyndon Johnson would “withhold appropriations that exceeded the president’s budget.”That’s facts and history. History doesn’t exist, we just re-create as a blank slate each day, ask Orwell.
Yes there IS a limit on this, Mr. Journalist, a big one: Congress can and SHOULD Impeach a President who shirks his duty by, say, not using the allocated money to secure the border, but hands it back to Congress instead. He can “Impound” but only if the job is done. What is “Done” is a matter of opinion in most cases.
All this is as it should be and is the perpetual and proper tension between powers.
“• Democrat Calls For Biden ‘Blanket Pardon’ For Those Trump Could Target (JTN)
So you mean “Everyone”? Or just YOU? …Because you’re so innocent n’ stuff?
“Kiev’s public opposition to Western calls that it draft 18-year-olds for military service is part of a strategy for winning an election”
I don’t really understand this. I think it’s just, they are violently opposed to the war, and this is the only, and present, method to express that today. They’d also oppose 25-55 too if they could get away with it. They can’t. They’ll be shot and arrested, ’cause: Democracy.
“The Republican has claimed that he can resolve the Ukraine conflict in 24 hours after he returns to the Oval Office”
Yes, you stop funding. The end. There’s nobody there but us.
Duran points out Europe’s position and plan, which is to say, “Gosh, golly fine, well, WE will just have to go instead, pay for it all ourselves. That okay Orange Man? That okay, NATO?” Yes, of course! He’s already said NATO is on their own. And how can it NOT be okay? What is Trump going to invade France and Germany if they want this war? No.
…But then of course they will ATTACK RUSSIA, and therefore draw the U.S. in TO FIGHT THE WAR FOR THEM. As they have no, none, nada, zip, zilch, other plans. “Let’s you and him fight”. To exhaustion and ruin. Leaving Europe intact. Sound good?
Also dangerous as that plan pushes it out years from now.
“Trump’s transition team has reportedly proposed freezing hostilities along the current front line and suspending Ukraine’s bid to join NATO for at least a decade.”
This is dead false and so needs to be addressed. Like the “Trump Peace Plan” and “Project 2025” this has NOTHING to do with Trump. They just Made It Up. What’s happened is KELLOGG, as part of a paper, last year, written to BIDEN, suggested this, but note at a point the consensus (and false) reality was the conflict was in a “Stalemate”. That is, it would have to be tossed in any case.
“We Make S—t Up!” So Trump perhaps has never read it, never said anything about it, Kellogg hasn’t commented, may not mean it, possibly didn’t even mean it then, it cannot BE implemented, nor attempted, no one has released ANY proposal, they haven’t sat in their chairs and read classified docs yet, yet they say “This is it.” Reported everywhere, as fact, by everyone.
All lies. All made up. (Or essentially so)
Might want to keep a pin in that. As when it fails they will say “Trump failed!!!! Russia crushed him. Walls are closing in!!!” etc. Now WHYYYYY did they print yet-another-pure-lie? A: Europe. This fits their narrative and goal, above. Get NATO into Ukraine, into Kursk, on inauguration day, so Trump can’t leave, then expand NATO into all of Ukraine to the Dnipr River as “The PLAN”. “Strategic defeat of Russia” then chopped up, destroyed, liquidated and devoured.
Yes, Europe WANTS an army, but that requires centralized taxing they can’t find an excuse for yet. And even THAT army is only meant to draw the United States in to fight it for them. We’re their b—tch. We’re the despicable mongrels who Do What We’re Told. Now go die in the way that seems best to you, you deplorable clutchers.
Again, all this is very dangerous as it pushes the conflict out to 2030, where Europe by then might have an army or some weapons. Jewish Space Lasers. And a new US President, 10 more years of media brainwashing setting the stage. On the plus side, Russia can and will just kill every man who crosses the border, so: nice try.
“The PLAN” was that the only way Russia could do this was with Nukes. Nukes = total Western war. Oops. Now it’s actually the #Opposite, as happens to glue-sniffing inbred morons. Now the only power and escalation of the WEST is nukes. We have nothing else. Nothing between the 9mm Baretta and a Minuteman launch.
““..Hungary is “pressing hard so that Donald Trump’s goal of ending this war quickly becomes a reality..”
Kind of. EVERYONE IN EUROPE IS LYING. So Orban has to tell the truth, so Trump can hear it and consider it at least once.
“• Not Talking With Putin ‘Absurd’ – Scholz (RT)
You’re kidding right? This is exactly what you’ve been doing and stole Russia Press Secretary’s Visa credentials only YESTERDAY. For no functional reason whatsoever, just to make yourselves look stupid.
“Hayat Tahrir-al-Sham (HTS) terrorist group, previously known as Jabhat al-Nusra, launched a surprise attack from Idlib”
If you missed it, they just rename themselves weekly so they won’t be on the U.S. “Terrorist” list and we can lavishly fund them. People’s Palestinian Front vs Palestinian People’s Front, posers. And the “West” = Turkey. Note Putin no say that.
“• The Syria Riddle: How It May Turn Into The First BRICS War (Pepe Escobar)
Agree, as said. That’s why it’s dangerous. If this kicks off, it can’t be other than real WWIII, no longer simmering or denied. Of course that’s “The PLAN”, as written 100 years ago, when people still believed in religion n stuff. When “Holy Land” meant something as it means nothing now. Nobody DGAF.
“It is estimated to hold nearly 22% of the world’s undiscovered oil and natural gas reserves,”
What is India or China doing there? Two: if oil is all dead dinosaurs somebody want to explain to me how there’s endless oil in the Arctic and Antarctic? Coal, “Coal mining started at the beginning of the 20th century, and several permanent communities such as Pyramiden or Barentsburg were established.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svalbard And supposedly 200 years of coal in Antarctica too, as it’s a whole content and the size of Russia and China combined. AND oil 30,000 feet down everywhere we drill, like the Gulf? So apparently it’s made by Magma?
…But we’re out of oil n’ stuff. Yup! All over for us ‘cause we can’t take our dugout canoes to McMurdo and use our seal-skin coats to dig coal with a pickaxe. …Would you like to try again? P.S. there is 100 years of oil in Iran too. Explain? Like this has to do with Technocracy’s (Socialism’s) BTU or Carbon Credit as a system of totalitarian CONTROL and nothing to do with energy, geology or physics at all?
“Raw nodules are found at the bottom of the ocean and contain all the components needed”
This is trotted out every few months whenever prices rise. Or the new one, the “Asteroids”. Like Green Tech, like everything else, they IGNORE ALL COSTS. All of them. Monetary, infrastructure, investment, and BTU. Yeah, there’s platinum in seawater too, but IT COSTS TOO MUCH to recover…or we would already do that.
““The House released a 500 page report on the ‘Pandemic’. They basically said all of the conspiracy theorists were correct. Every single one of them. No repercussions…no apologies. None of it…”
Disclosure. As above. Even Disclosure, fully and openly, no longer matters. We just ignore it. I told you this in 2020, Jon Stewart told you 2 years ago. Didn’t matter. Facts and evidence, legality doesn’t matter a whit.
So what does?
Now you see why they only focus on fantasy. “We’re an Empire now and we Create Reality…”
That is: “We’re an Empire now and are delusional as f–k.”

Spend only what you have.
The president had the constitutional power to stop unnecessary spending through what is known as impoundment.”
Impoundment is just a jargony word for instances where Congress appropriates a certain amount of money for a program in a given year, and the president refuses to spend all of it.
Trump is likely to challenge the Impoundment Control Act as unconstitutional.
We hope he does, and that he succeeds, or at the very least forces Congress to fix that law. Because letting Congress have unlimited authority to set a floor on spending has been a fiscal disaster.https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?path=/prelim@title2/chapter17B&edition=prelim

The not-able-to-calculate-change in the young adults may be a cognitive issue related to constant exposure to toxins: fluoride, vaccine adjuvants and contaminants, etc.When I was newly married I had heard whispers about vaccines causing autism — but there was little information about it, and life was busy, I and my siblings had been vaccinated — and I was not aware of the law change in the 80s, nor that the vaccine schedule had ballooned. I did not know about GMOs and glyphosate. I did not know that fluoride was a neurotoxin. I thought “organic” was a silly gimmick for expensive produce.
I thought that my kids had “dodged the bullet” when it came to harms from vaccination. I now know that I was wrong. My son at ASU had a therapist years ago that let me know that he was likely high-functioning autistic. His twin has had so many issues in school — last June that son was confirmed by a psychiatrist to also “high functioning autistic” — albeit less high-functioning than his brother. That son also has EOE, a rare, mild allergic problem of the esophagus (that is becoming increasingly less rare.). My daughter has a math learning disability — and can’t count back change well. She also has a couple odd allergies, is very picky about foods, and her skin is very sensitive — she occasionally has eczema outbreaks and she has frequent colds.
My sister had her kids just after me, and pursued the vaccine concern whispers. She has five kids and lives about 15 miles away — none are vaccinated. Her children have NO chronic illnesses, NO allergies, NO learning disabilities, NO autism.
I realize now that my children did not “dodge the bullet”…they simply did not get harmed as badly as some. I stopped their vaccinations when the doctors began pushing the HPV vaccine. I did my own research and asked doctors about it. The doctors gushed about how wonderful the vaccine was, and my OB/GYN tried to instill fear of cervical cancer in me. But my own research concluded that there was, as yet, no direct evidence that the HPV vaccine reduced cervical cancer (the vaccine had not existed long enough for such data to even be collected,) and the risks of the HPV vaccine were well-documented.
Please have some compassion on the young people of today. They have been badly poisoned physically, and bear the scars. They have been lied to about what is moral and right in many cases, being led to believe that “wokeness” is morally correct, and very often those doing the lying were parents, teachers, coaches, and even clergy. They can overcome these obstacles and find that truth is actually out there — when sought, truth can be found. But it is going to be a very long road for them, and many of them will forever be confused and deluded.

What the Phuck is wrong with South Koreans???16 annual visits for South Korea.
Why is the UK not listed? Another source says the number for the UK was 25 ( in 2018-2019)All types of consultations with all staff in a practice more than doubled, rising from an annual average of 11 per person in 2000–01 to 25 in 2018–19
The UK number seems to be an apples-to-apples comparison with South Korea and the other countries on the OECD chart, since that data included “the number of contacts with physicians, both generalists and specialists”, according to the OECD source.
This indicator presents data on the number of consultations patients have with doctors in a given year. Consultations with doctors can take place in doctors’ offices or clinics, in hospital outpatient departments or, in some cases, in patients’ own homes. Consultations with doctors refer to the number of contacts with physicians, both generalists and specialists.

Lots of free TV exposure.The making change thing is, I think, made out to be different than it is.
I OF COURSE can do arithmetic. But if you gave me a register to work that does not calculate change:
1. wtf bro, it’s a REGISTER, why are you not making it capable of basic addition/subtraction? A giant calculator 1000x the size of a pocket calculator and can’t calculate.
2. While I can do math, I cannot do it instantaneously, like one would want when ringing up orders at a fast food joint. This requires, not numeracy, not understanding of math, but drilling, conditioning.
If I don’t have access to a calculator, then civilization has fallen completely and it is extremely unlikely that I will need to calculate things like change at a fast food joint quickly.
So either stop being perverse and make the register do basic arithmetic – it isn’t really THAT much of a pleasure to stand over a person who grew up with smartphones and computers and pocket calculators saying “har har can’t make change” is it? is it WORTH it? — OR run your employees through math drills, give them flash cards or whatever, drill them up to a certain point. If drilled-in math while standing within 6 feet of 10 computing devices is important on principle or something?
“can’t make change” is construed as innumerate > imbecilic but the skill involved is a result of rote drill not THINKING. Boomers, having been rote drilled, go har har can’t do math.
It’s the equivalent of the GenZ’er showing up for work and being forced to lift 120lb boxes when there’s a damn pallet jack sitting RIGHT THERE. okay, if you perversely want me to lift shit all day, train me up to it. Or maybe just use the pallet jack, dolly, etc.
