Rembrandt van Rijn The deposition 1632-33 • Trump Is Well Placed To Secure A Deal With Russia To End The War (Proud) • Zelensky To Visit White
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle February 26 2025]Analyst McGovern yesterday:
1) Musk has no authority to command employees to respond. Especially not to fire/sort them on that basis.
Odd that that should hinge on who is the letterhead on the email, I usually reject that out of hand, but he’s entirely correctly. Sadly. And he should know better. No one has to respond, as they will go ask all of them in a follow up later. But to avoid disruption and confusion, obviously that should have come from someone’s desk: like the president, the Cabinet, elsewhere. In addition, it was obvious to insiders you can’t comment that of every secret spy in the field, etc. So, fail even as a high-level proof-of-life, sorry. Redo.
2) Again with the what is it with — $150B, $300B whatever the real number is – for Ukraine. As Macron tries to make it seem other. What and why would Europe get all guarantees as “loans” while Biden negotiated for exactly nothing and paid far more when Europe is larger? Why?
Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, because The United States is a COLONY, run and directed by EUROPE. What other possible explanation?Okay, moving on, We are PAYING the ever-loving BBC to … EXIST. WHYYYYYY on God’s earth would the U.S. State, via USAID EVER pay for the daily expenses of the bloody BBC? Because Britons are such The Poors? They’ll starve without the telly? …That’s what they say for aid to Pakistan, “Oh well, you’ve been feeding all the man-eating bears, if you stop sending billions and billions for nothing, they’ll starve now.” Like this is my problem????? DON’T FEED THE BEARS. Not: Now we have to feed the bears forever. Jesus.
That was sooooo Last Week. THIS week, we are not only paying for the BeeB, WE ARE PAYING FOR ALL STONEWALL EUROPE. Yes, that’s right, the pro-gay rights group, in the most accepting, tolerant gay area ON PLANET EARTH, IN ALL RECORDED HISTORY, the U.S. Taxpayers are paying more than HALF of the entire Stonewall UK budget.
To do what, exactly, if you don’t mind me asking? Print out leaflets saying “Be Gay”? Everyone reads them, says “We know, we’re the most tolerant of gay in the last 10,000 years, exceeded by none” and moves on?
Is it because ENGLAND is SO POOR, they will all die in Dickensian poverty if they are required to print up their own leaflets to advance a thing that is already universally accepted, more than any moment in the last 10,000 years?
Yup. All a system of PATRONAGE.
Now why do I bring that up? Where do these things keep appearing? Like the weirdest small beer? ENGLAND. Britain is soaking our treasury, LONDON has recolonized the U.S., via the “Atlanticists”, like Biden, spending the entire U.S. Treasury for nothing, on whatever London has cooked up any given minute. No loans, no backstops, in a transparent attempt to bankrupt us for their own pleasure. Not JUST the spending, though of course that’s good, but to COLLAPSE the Colonies into infighting, and get money flows to LONDON, then buy up the collapsed/Civil War U.S. for pennies, just as attempted in 1860 when Lincoln got on this plan and stopped them. …Or Russia, 1910, same thing.
Want to bet that gold is in Knox, but UK is one of the 50 owners of it? Yeah, about that: We’re going to need to back-charge you on all our money spent on the BBC, so that bar is ours again now. Molon Labe.
“Associated Press’ emergency request… to restore their privilege of returning to the White House press pool.”
Like literally wtf. NOT EVERY press outlet gets an office or permission or we’d need a stadium. Therefore it can never not be a discretionary privilege. That’s like suing when the owner gives you free coffee every day but then stops. Of COURSE they did. They’re psychos.
“Absurd that a 5 min email generates this level of concern!”Apparently Dr. Rich has never had to report to anyone. I find that pretty disturbing. And apparently this is more or less the entire government that has never reported to anyone? Has there ever been a boss anywhere, at any time, that didn’t want to know what got done?
“The speed with which America has moved to reestablish diplomatic contact with Russia has left European leaders breathless and flatfooted.”
Is it though? I mean, he made one phone call and one meeting. Not on the first day. That’s like the minimum. So now the minimum for any normal person is the maximum for government? Unthinkable?
“• Zelensky To Visit White House Friday To Sign Minerals Deal (ZH)
What’s up with this, since they have nothing? Still asking. All the mines, specifically, are in the East. If you wanted anything from the remaining rump state with ½ the GDP now having lost only 1/5 of the territory, you’d ask for Agriculture. So he is getting a backstop the U.S. (Biden) never bothered to get because we’re a colony of London. Okay. How, and why “Minerals”?
“Ukraine mineral resources worth $14.8 trillion.”
Unlikely. The whole country isn’t worth that. And yes, isn’t working easier and mining them themselves? Certainly they have no environmental laws or worker’s rights.
“The U.S. is the largest importer of aluminum.”Proof of concept. But we used to be a major EXPORTER of aluminum. They used the hydropower in WA and OR. What happened? It created a single American job and had to be eliminated?
“Calls have grown for the British government to introduce the equivalent of the United States’
Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE),”Again with WHYYYYYYY does it have to be the United States that sets the tone and does the obvious? Like you didn’t know you needed an audit? Spending 50% of the budget on Stonewall UK, printing flyers so Britons will accept the gays they already accept? Nope. They’re minions, incapable of thought or action. They can only imitate us. Alright then!
“The Europe that Gay Porn Built,” The Department of Redundancy Department, and the Department of Silly Walks.
Don’t worry: they’ll still hate and mock Thatcher and anyone like here EVEN AS they list millions being spent on this, while kids in Blackpool are white with hunger. Helping! Love and caring. Why does evil Thatcher want a balanced budget and smaller government?
“United States is the world’s largest provider of money for foreign aid, by a considerable margin.”
Yes. To England, apparently, because they’re now a 3rd world country or something?
“How can anyone be sufficiently stupid and corrupt as to rely on CNN?”
Beats me. Before, there was no reason, but now everything CNN says is later retracted and corrected. After 10, 12 years of this, shouldn’t it make a mark?
““..the “presence of armed forces from NATO countries, even under the EU flag or as part of national contingents” as “completely unacceptable” to Moscow.”There’s a whole world out there. I wonder what else is happening. In Taiwan, Asia, Yemen, Iran, Africa.
“According to a Wall Street Journal report, the two nations were considering deploying up to 30,000 “peacekeepers” to the nation”They’ve been “Considering” since day one. They still have none to send and fewer Jeeps and guns than when they started. They are also importing more Russian energy than ever at higher prices than ever.
“• AfD Success Divides Germany Into East and West (Sp.)
Yes, like Cubans in Miami, there are people who have lived under Socialism and those who haven’t.
“he did not rule out the possibility of an AfD victory in the next parliamentary election, especially if US President Donald Trump and his ally, billionaire Elon Musk, continue to support the party.”
Again, wtf do we have to do with it??? Can’t anyone think for themselves?
“Same old same old with slightly different numbers. Vested interests. They already started flying in refugees again. It will really take AfD to turn Germany around.”Astonishing. In pure narcissistic abuse, they IMMEDIATELY poke you in the eye and don’t even hide it. These are the people TRYING for a centrist vote. Nope. No “Centrist” votes allowed, even as AfD is to the far, far, far LEFT of say, Bill Clinton. Heck, even TRUMP is to the Left of Clinton.
Anyway, this all confirms what we’ve been saying and denied: EUROPE wants non stop WWIII. They just don’t want to pay. THey want to morally deny it for their people. The entire state from dogcatcher up, is run by somebody, and that somebody is not the People. They are violently, AntiCitizen, as Vance just said. So they are the WEF, etc. They want and are going to ran a world war, in a gambit to steal Russia, AS ALWAYS. Never changes. Like yesterday, both Macron and Stormer have the EXACT SAME PLAYBOOK as 2014. Not a letter has changed. This is also the Hitler playbook and the Napoleon playbook. Russia’s playbook doesn’t change either, except that for a change they are the economic, manufacturing, and military superiors to Europe in every way.
Knowing this is certain suicide, Europe always does it anyway. So thanks, Germany. See you on the flip side.
“as the Ukrainian conflict has dragged on, talk about nuclear weapons being used has increased,”
With NO “red phones”, no diplomacy with the U.S., for maximum chance of total worldwide Armageddon, like September. That is, they WANT a nuclear exchange and have done everything imaginable to MAKE Russia nuke someone. Totally provable, totally visible. So I just want to reiterate that here.
[Macron] Who visits because he wants a place at the peace talks table. “…In order to stop peace and cause nuclear war. I don’t know what more I can add to emphasize that. Adding Macron = Nuclear war. When that is the case, you must exclude all Europe until there’s nothing left to be decided.
““Well, uhh, it’ll be — Europe is going to make sure nothing happens. I don’t think it’s going to be much of a problem. I think once we settle, ahhh, You’re not go – uhhh”
What’s with the sudden literalism? Biden couldn’t speak two words so they composed whole sentences they thought he meant. Standard practice is to remove “ummms” minimally. Here they are specifically added, against all custom. Why? To slander Trump just ‘cause he exists somewhere.
He does so many bad and illegal things, the only thing we can get him on is that he uses the word “Ummm” like the rest of us do. IMPEACH! Stop the word “Ummm” today!
“The Verizon system is not working and so is putting air travelers at serious risk”Huh? How is that possible? Economically or practically? Sounds like bs to me. However, remember how Verizon made sure there were those voting machine NFI sub-networks running everywhere? You slow-walk the network for deniability in order to cause a truly inordinate number of plane accidents? Same as sabotaging Boeing?
…So this is what you’re down to, huh? That’s the hottest thing the Black Hats can pull off? Bring it.
“• Pentagon To Be ‘Shaken Up’ – White House (RT)
How? No, how is he getting no resistance there? So apparently the White Hats have already overwhelmingly claimed and ring-fenced their enemy down the hall Black Hats there? I mean, sure, but that’s a whole step further along in the campaign than I thought.
Again, remember Rumsfeld’s “We’re missing a zillion billion” from the Pentagon audit, 9/10? Then that records room was the literal only room in the whole Pentagon burned? So we get that audit at last?
BTW, news GENERALS are shredding all documents. Met by the FBI in their offices at 3am. CIA being arrested by FBI. Etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSP9v_Tyqmw All needs to be confirmed.
Where is my Epstein docs, Bondi? Do we have to go up there and arrest you now already?Ah. Mineral rights. I’m an idiot as usual. He means the NATURAL GAS FIELDS. In the Western Black Sea.
Addition: Ze already sold them all to ENGLAND. So we get co-agreements on it, and we’re larger, so they can’t uphold their claim. Trump stole their COLLATERAL. Outcome: Bankrupt London.
What is the “Dictator”, 100 year agreement with UK? This, and Ze is not a legal leader, so there you have it. He can’t sign it.England, BlackRock, etc. As they are interchangable and BlackRock is the Nazi Central Bank. Why bring that up? The new German Government is BlackRock. Just as the French national government is Roths.

LOOKING BACK
Even before President Trump had been sworn in, moves were being made by representatives of his own political party, to hem him in.In Obama’s final foreign policy fling on 29 December 2016, he expelled 35 Russian diplomats, in response to the so-called Russiagate allegations.
The vehicle to achieve this was the Countering American Adversaries Through Sanctions Act.
On 31 July 2017, within days of Congress approving the CAATSA act, President Putin finally chose to retaliate, evicting seven hundred fifty five staff from U.S. diplomatic missions.Two days later, when President Trump signed the CAATSA Act into Law, he noted that the bill was ‘seriously flawed.
because it encroaches on the executive branch’s authority to negotiate.
This bill makes it harder for the United States to strike good deals for the American people, and will drive China, Russia, and North Korea much closer together.’With over 20,000 sanctions imposed on Russia already and with its economy still robust, there is no benefit in pushing more sanctions.

The devil will, of course, be in the details.Trump’s mineral rights access deal.

Trump: “Military equipment…
Without the United States and it’s money… this war would have been over in a very short period of time.
”And… “I’d like to buy minerals on Russian land too.”Russia was open to cooperation with international partners,
In 2023, Forbes Ukraine estimated that the country’s mineral resources were worth approximately $14.8 trillion, amounting to 111 billion metric tons, with coal and iron ore making up the majority.
However, the publication noted that over 70% of these resources are located in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions, which declared independence from Ukraine in 2014 following the Western-backed Maidan coup in Kiev.
These territories came under Russian control after referendums in 2022, when the regions voted to join Russia.————–

by Tyler Durden
Wednesday, Feb 26, 2025 – 02:00 AM
Authored by Jack Phillips via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),However, some studies have shown that ivermectin has led to positive outcomes for some people who took the drug for COVID-19, including one study that showed it led to “large reductions” in deaths from the virus.
The FDA in 2020 warned against using hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malaria drug, to treat COVID-19 outside of hospitals or clinical trials and said it revoked its emergency use authorization to use the medication as well as chloroquine to treat COVID-19 in some hospitalized individuals.
At least one study, published in mid-2020, had shown that the drug had lowered the U.S. death rate, while one early survey touted its effectiveness.
In the UCLA paper, researchers evaluated 8.1 million insured patients from across the United States to evaluate spending and usage of the two drugs in the first three years of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The findings was published just days after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was sworn in as the U.S. health secretary.
Among other criticisms directed at the FDA, Kennedy last year wrote that the agency is “biased against many low-cost” or generic drugs such as ivermectin and said that large pharmaceutical companies are involved in the FDA’s decision-making processes.

How to fake pandemics, the prequel: how Theranos fraud is linked to PCR fraud
https://sashalatypova.substack.com/p/faking-fakery-the-prequel-how-theranosBy coincidence, or synchronicity (?) the day before I saw this thread on X from Sense Receptor, I had a conversation with a friend, who asked for my opinion on the story of Elizabeth Holmes of Theranos. My friend worked in San Francisco and used to see Elizabeth on her morning run through the city at a very impressive pace. I also had a tangential experience with Elizabeth when a pharma exec, a client of my cardiovascular safety company at the time, wrote an email asking me to connect with Elizabeth, copying her. He wanted my opinion on whether Theranos tech would be implementable in drug clinical trials. After a brief email exchange, Elizabeth did not follow up further. After an investigation into publicly available information at the time my colleagues and I found the tech unfeasible for clinical trials, and we dropped the inquiry altogether.
Now in 2025, in hindsight, it is clear that Theranos was an early play by the Global Public-Private Partnership (GPPP) cartel to introduce a “diagnostic test” that would underpin the global takeover under pretenses of “public health”.
If you are not familiar with the Theranos technology scam and subsequent scandal – Elizabeth Holmes, a 19 yo wonder-girl at the time, a Stanford drop out, widely lauded as a female version of Steve Jobs, founded a billion-dollar startup Theranos, touting [by today’s definitions] “nanotechnology!” to detect hundreds of different “markers” of diseases in a single drop of blood. Of course, the tech was fake and never worked as claimed. Hyped-up tech claims never stopped a billion-dollar tech start-up, however! If anything, you actually need sci-fi dreams to achieve billion dollar valuations as a star-up. Note Xaira Therapeutics as just one of hundreds of deeply retarded ventures into “hacking the code of life”.
You also need a bunch of deep-staters on your board to achieve those billion-dollar valuations. Xaira’s board is stacked with Scott Gottlieb and Google/Alphabet mafia. Theranos’ board was stacked with Henry Kissinger (former U.S. Secretary of State and national security advisor), George Schultz (former U.S. Secretary of State), Gary Roughhead (retired U.S. Navy admiral), William Perry (former U.S. Secretary of Defense), Sam Nunn (former U.S. senator who served as Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee), James Mattis (Secretary of Defense from 2017 to 2019, after Theranos’ collapse), William Foege (former director of the CDC), among others.
Elizabeth Holmes was just 19 yo when she “founded” Theranos with a bunch of grizzled deep state globalists… Hm? Did she lead them all by the nose, getting them to back her unachievable technical claims and sky-high valuations? Or did they use the ambitious, money- and fame-hungry, free-of-moral-compass youngster as a patsy? It seems, the latter scenario is much more likely.
What was the point of all the deep-staters on the board(s)?

Hey, what about, The Gaza Plaza? Mar-a-Gaza? The Gazino? (ouch…)
This all looks like light relief, but no….the MSM and the ‘alt media’, thru very clever prop. specially visual, shape attitudes, influence ppl.
Important supply chain information.
Regarding the supply of weapons to the Ukrainian armed forces:
For example, in the first month of D. Trump’s rule, no fewer than 70 transport aircraft from the USA arrived in Rzeszow, Poland.
In addition, the US air traffic control agency carried out at least ten flights, some from Europe, some from the Middle East and one flight from the USA.
Six flights were carried out by Ukrainian AN-124 aircraft, which is significantly more than in previous months. Previously, Ukrainian Ruslans carried out 1-3 flights.
The remaining 54 flights were carried out by commercial airlines. It should be noted that the main routes come from the USA and the Middle East (Fig. El Udeid).
Particular attention should be paid to the route “Danish Air Base Karup – Rzeszow-Jasionka”.
Thus, no fewer than 11 Canadian military transport aircraft arrived at the Danish Air Base from Canada alone.Most likely, the allies tested a new supply route through “friendlier” countries.
Thus, against the backdrop of the White House administration’s announcement of the closure of the naval base in Alexandroupolis, Greece, the Croatian hub has sharply reduced its activity. It should be noted that the military base in Greece was used to supply weapons to Ukraine and provide Athens with protection from threats from Turkey.
In addition, unlike Western Europeans, the Balkan countries are in a precarious position vis-à-vis the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and Russia in general.
As a result, the “war party” is diversifying the routes of arms supplies to the Kiev regime, trying to neutralize the likely US refusal to participate in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
P.S.: We will publish detailed statistics on the arrival of NATO military transport aircraft in Rzeszow, Poland, in early March.
.
Addendum:
It has just been announced that Poland has ordered thousands of Starlink terminals from Musk, allegedly for Ukraine.However, insiders claim that these are intended for the Poles themselves, in preparation for a war with Russia.
Given the sheer volume of devices, insiders assume that the EU paid for and ordered them.
Posted by: berthold | Feb 26 2025
———–Ukrainian media just published the full text of the agreement (in Russian/Ukrainian). Strana summarizes it as follows (machine translation):
The main thing that becomes clear from the published draft agreement:
It does not guarantee the security of Ukraine from the United States, as Vladimir Zelensky insisted. Security guarantees are mentioned only once: “The United States Government supports Ukraine’s efforts to obtain the security guarantees necessary to create a lasting peace.” That is, it is not about providing security guarantees, but about “supporting Ukraine’s efforts” to obtain them. Moreover, the logic of the text implies that these guarantees should be given by someone other than the United States, otherwise it would look strange that Washington supports efforts to obtain guarantees from itself.
The text does not specify who and how will manage the work of the fund, which will receive funds from revenues from the development of Ukrainian deposits. As stated, this will be written out in a separate agreement on the fund, which has not yet been prepared and must be ratified by the parliament. However, it is stipulated that the management will be joint, as well as the content, and “the powers of representatives of the US government in the decision-making process will be within the limits permitted by the current legislation of the United States.” That is, the American fund managers will operate in their own jurisdiction, and not in the Ukrainian one.
The Fund will receive income from the future monetization of all relevant natural resource assets that are state-owned by Ukraine-regardless of whether they are directly or indirectly owned by the state. It is stipulated that we are not talking about income from already operating enterprises.
Ukraine will “contribute to the fund 50% of all proceeds received from the future monetization of all relevant natural resource assets,” no matter what ownership they are. The United States will also contribute.
Contributions made to the fund will be reinvested in Ukraine at least once a year. The amount of reinvestment is not specified. Its procedure will be defined in the future agreement on the fund.
There are so many vague points in the agreement that it is hard to evaluate its consequences.I find it difficult to imagine that any Ukrainian parliament or its fascists ‘nationalists’ will agree to it:
In their eagerness to align with Western powers, Ukrainian officials are effectively endorsing policies that undermine the nation’s autonomy. Rather than pursuing an independent economic strategy, Ukraine continues to adopt arrangements that leave it vulnerable to external western manipulation.
…
This deal highlights the dangers of Ukraine’s continued reliance on Western aid. True national strength and independence cannot be achieved through mechanisms that strip away a country’s natural wealth and leave it perpetually indebted to external powers.
It is also doubtful that the agreement will withstand legal challenges. There are serious rumors that Zelenski had already sold Ukraine’s minerals to Britain.In other news the Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Lavrov has (again) rejected the stationing of any European ‘peacekeepers’ in Ukraine:
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Wednesday that Moscow could not consider “any options” for European peacekeepers being sent to Ukraine and that the idea was aimed at fuelling the conflict and making it harder to de-escalate.
President Macron of France and Prime Minister Stamer of Great Britain have said that they were willing to deploy their forces in Ukraine. Both however have asked for U.S. backing which the Trump administration is unlike to offer. Russia will in any case be hostile to it:Lavrov, who has previously called the proposal “unacceptable,” set out Moscow’s objections to any deployment in some of the strongest terms yet, removing any doubt about the matter after Trump’s suggestion that Putin had come round to the idea.
“We cannot consider any options” when it comes to European peacekeepers, he said during a visit to Qatar.By pressing for the agreement, instead of taking the Russian offer for access to minerals, Trump has committed himself to continue the war in Ukraine.
Michael Tracey @mtracey – 23:39 UTC · Feb 25, 2025
After Ukraine agrees to the mineral “deal,” Trump says in return Ukraine receives “the right to fight on.” He boasts that he was the one who first gave Javelins to Ukraine, which wiped out a lot of Russian tanks. He says US weapons could continue to flow to Ukraine “for awhile”
Embedded videoIt will lead to the failure of his peace initiative.

But Jack Conte did the “indie muscian” thing for just long enough to establish a little bit of plausible indie artist cred to get artists’ trust — that’s ALWAYS the way the corporations would get artists into horrible contracts in the past.

At least with the USAID and other discoveries, we can understand how Captain Marvel grossed a billion dollars despite the character and actress being as overtly insufferable as possible as “promotion” for the film and with all the eyewitnesses peeking into the sold out theatres and filming EMPTY SEATS

and pay back money on the $36T debt.There seems to be lots of wrong use about the term ‘rare earth elements’. Rare earth elements is another name for lanthanides, which means elements 57-71 in periodic table: lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, promethium, samarium, europium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium, thulium, ytterbium and lutetium. Usually also scandium and yttrium are included in the rare earths, even though they are not lanthanides.
“What The Actual F**k”: WaPo Reporters Melt Down, Editor Quits After Jeff Bezos Makes Hard Pivot Towards “Personal Liberties & Free Markets”
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/what-actual-fk-wapo-reporters-melt-down-editor-quits-after-jeff-bezos-makes-hard-pivotJeff Bezos announced on Wednesday morning that the Post’s opinion pages will be “writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets,”
“There was a time when a newspaper, especially one that was a local monopoly, might have seen it as a service to bring to the reader’s doorstep every morning a broad-based opinion section that sought to cover all views. Today, the internet does that job.
I am of America and for America, and proud to be so. Our country did not get here by being typical. And a big part of America’s success has been freedom in the economic realm and everywhere else. Freedom is ethical — it minimizes coercion — and practical — it drives creativity, invention, and prosperity.”
WaPo, filled with “journalists” that are screaming in outrage against 2 things:
1. Liberty
2. Free Marketsas if it were the thing they were MOST against.
The nothing that totally wasn’t happening keeps ceasing to happen more and moar. Who knows, maybe James Bond will be ok even.

Mike, help D out with it. He’s definitely not slow just deliberate
That Trump Gaza video is blowing up the internet, as you might well expect.
I’ve just cone away from a long and interesting “chat” with the super-bot grok 3 and he (it?) is giving 30% probability that it was an inside job by a mole on Trump’s team to make him look really bad, 65% chance that Trump’s ability to “read the room” is slipping and that he actually did order that truly horrific video to be created and sent, and a long-shot 5% chance that he did it to escape from the trap that he’s in with Gaza by taking and surviving a “public approval ratings” hit that will merely harm Trump and Elon themselves but will utterly destroy Netanyahu and knock him completely out of the picture.
Ditto.

“Since power abhors a vacuum, the rise of judicial power in the 20th century was driven by this legislative weakness.”
In fact, The Judiciary was co-opted in the late 20th Century AND the Washington Post and Baltimore Sun wrote about that as IT happened. The Judiciary was co-opted by as little as all-expense paid trips to vacation spots nd “law retreats” by corporations/billionaires that rule by whim and fiat today. Hell, The Washington Post devoted a long running series just to this phenomenon. Of course, back then The Gays played a central role in compromising The Vulnerable Judiciary and not incidentally Congress.
Lest we forget Chief Justice John Roberts ascent in relation to Bethlehem Steel’s and Johnstown PA’s demise. Move along folk there’s nothing to see here. Stop bitchin already.
Aren’t alcoholic seizures Disqualifying for the bench, cloth and operating room?Dr D –
Has there ever been a boss anywhere, at any time, that didn’t want to know what got done?
Yes, it’s called DEI/ woke-ism/ you’re gay, poc (person of color whatever the fuck that means), female or tranny or non-citizen- you’re hired… no fucks given about your skills or job capacity. So long as “we” can prove you’ve been ‘marginalized’ (whatever the fuck that means).
“We no longer hire white cis gender (whatever the fuck that means) toxic masculine privileged (whatever the fuck that means) real men , because you know….”
I was going to ask where you’ve been these last years ?
Glued to your keyboard, face to the screen every f’n day taint a window to the world, or soul, or spirit.
Take a walk, take a hike, take a drive ?Have a mini adventure, do something different, think about nothing, turn your phone and computer off for a day… Better to walk away into the world and refresh creativity than be addicted to fomo (whatever the fuck that means).
I’m reminding myself as much as everyone else – the internet addiction is not reflective of a healthy spirited life with meaning.
LOOK at the f’n paintings and animals here at the start and finish of every post- they should serve as a reminder that they are neither trapped or slaves.
On deathbed- will you be wishing you spent more time on the internet posting and working a job for your boss, or no boss ? Its healthy to take a break from everything, mix it up.

“The Closer I Get to You”
….no better love ballad has been written, arranged, played and performed by Roberta Flack and her equal in that moment Donnie Hathaway.
From the unmistakable 3 beat drum intro to the ask and answer of the duet, melody, rhythm, instrument and their voices produced what sounded like heaven to an 8 year old’s ear.
Ooooh-ooh-ooh, whoa-oooooh
Sweeter and sweeter love grows
And Heaven’s there for those
Who fooled the tricks of time
With the hearts of love they find
True love in a special wayThanks for the reminder Tdk
One positive thing can be said about the Trump’s Future of Gaza video. The unspoken and unspeakable evil of the Gazan genocide and the despicable mercenary commercial motives behind it, have now been spoken out loud. We don’t have to suppose or insinuate what it is all about, because it’s right out there in the open now for all to see. It doesn’t even matter that much whether it was Trump who made the video or his political enemies, because the truth of it is simply the truth of it. Calculate the implications of either or both possibilities of who created it, as you will.
Just look at the material (and human) devastation that has recently been wreaked upon various high-value locations recently, to then have the real estate be bought up for pennies on the dollar by vast public-private-partnerships of governments collaborating with hedge funds and mega-donors.
