    Day – yep, that conversation with a Republican I recounted yesterday was real. Really happened.

    I also talked with him about Ukraine – he could not get to grips with the US having overthrown the government there.

    I pointed out – I heard the leaked recording of the overthrow being planned, who they were going to put into power etc from our own Asst Secretary of State — and then watched the State Department PRESS CONFERENCE in which they admitted the recording was real – to do damage control on the “Fuck the EU” comment! THEY told us on nationwide TV!!!!

    If you START from understanding the government was overthrown and then had picked people put in – many not ukrainian nationals or dual-nationality, and then you look at the Minsk treaties, and then look at what else has gone on there for years….

    He asked “But why can’t Ukraine just be a country, existing there, maybe with a treaty with guarantors…”

    That was Minsk. The “guarantors” were the ones plotting all along to overthrow the government, take over the country, arm it, egg it on (well, they’re in control, no egging needed) into military hostility… Are there new “guarantors” you have found on Mars or Venus or something? …because there aren’t any trustworthy ones here on Earth.

    I explained that war is ultimately what enforces treaties. You break treaties, end up in a war, cry me a river. Stop complaining and figure out how to keep agreements if you want the war to end or not happen.

    But start your understanding of the Ukraine war at least from what the US State Dept confirmed they did to the country. There is no “supporting Ukraine” because that just means “I support the US State Dept against Ukraine:

    Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us.

    There are the people.
    They’re getting drunk.
    Their beverage is moonshine
    That comes from a skunk.
    : )

    I watched a bit of the terrible Liz and Dick “Cleopatra” last night, and in one scene, an emissary knows the names of the guards who are pretending to be Caesar. How? He has never met them before.
    When a trader from ancient Alexandria landed in Crete, how did he recognize the correct recipient of the delivered goods?
    Why haven’t we found a bunch of tiny portraits (ancient “photos”) of traders, emissaries, minor dignitaries, prospective brides, etc.?
    (We do know that Holbein’s portrait of Anne of Cleves was an instance of “here’s a picture of her”.)

    History moves at the speed of communications. History is now clipping along at nearly the speed of light.

    A vote for the Trump team is the one most likely to successfully support free speech. We need free speech if enough people are going to understand what is happening in Israel/Palestine enough to change policy.

    I’d love to have the luxury of past decades – vote for a candidate based on one or a few specific policies in their platform, but we’re down to, is there going to be free speech in the country at all or not.

    Let’s say all a Trump win does is slow down the ending of free speech – well, that leaves a window partially open for SOME public discussion of whatever policy one is concerned about.

    Kamala Harris Begins Melting After Rallygoer Says ‘Jesus Is Lord’

    .

    Via The Babylon Bee

    MILWAUKEE, WI — After a man in the crowd at a Wisconsin rally proclaimed “Jesus is Lord,” the audience watched in shock as Vice President Kamala Harris suddenly began melting on stage.

    “No, not that name! Anything but that name!” cried Harris, her legs beginning to give way. “Curse you! Look what you’ve done!”

    Several members of the audience began hissing and screaming as security rushed to remove the man. “How dare you say the name of Jesus! Boo!” cried the Democrats. “You’re not welcome here! Out, out!”

    Sadly, the damage was already done as Vice President Harris steadily melted. “This was a security failure of the highest order,” said aide Denise Thompson. “It is simply unconscionable that a man who believes Jesus is Lord was allowed to get so close to the Vice President. This sort of thing should never happen.”

    At publishing time, the Democrats had reportedly replaced Harris with an actual witch, who immediately got a substantial bump in the polls.

    “Hypocrite Trump who advocates burning families and shooting children in the head…”
    John Day

    Reality and truth- Biden/ Harris and the Democrats are the ones burning families and putting bullets in kids heads. Why are you projecting TDS to Trump and not calling out Biden/ Harris ?
    Hypocrisy much?

    You are projecting on to Trump what the Dems are actually doing, today- now.
    You did not call out Harris for her current actions, you did not say that’s why you’re NOT voting for Dems because of what they are actually doing. You literally accused Trump for what Harris is doing.

    I voted against burning families with white-phosphorous bombs from my country and paying to shoot children in the head, if you know what I mean… Voted for that Jewish Lady Doctor Again…

    Why not just come out and say it is the Dems who are doing this and that’s why you are not voting for them? Instead you blame Trump for burning families and baby head shots?

    Trump nearly had his head blown off by the same family burners and baby killers.

    There are plenty of reasons to not like Trump, your claim that he advocates burning families and head shotting babies while not calling out the actual current perps is hypocritical.

    Did Trump mandate the jabs? With your reasoning, why not blame him for that too?

    I was wearing my Palestine bike-jersey. I was part of the scene, the experience…

    ooooh, virtue signaling. Put a sign on your house that says- “In this house we believe…”
    Your Buddha tag is idolatry and fake virtue signaling too. Buddha mind is not a fucking statue, no need to wear it on your sleeve.

    Does that jewish lady you voted for support the jewish states right to (steal) exist?
    No hypocrisy there either…

    We can’t see private discussions and negotiations between power and financial elite factions, which I presume to be long-underway, with an eye to improving the real-world economies of the US, EU, NATO, etc. and coordinating the inevitable financial reset, to deal with the vast divergence between real and notional/financial economic figures. These must be harmonized going forward, and something like 50% to 75% of “notional wealth” needs to be eliminated for these books to reflect the same underlying reality. Factual accounting is necessary to restore trust in the systems of production, commerce, and trade, which support our lives.
    In recent decades there has been broadening divergence, “fraud”, between real and notional economies, which has been criminal and quasi-criminal. Those criminal-perpetrators are in control of government and finance, and are incapable of repairing the damage they have done and facilitated, so somebody else has to take the reins, but that puts them in too much personal danger for them to allow it.
    This has happened before. It can go down with lots of killing, or little-to-no killing. I can’t see the negotiations, just some smoke. This is not good-vs-evil in my humble opinion, but that which is completely-dysfunctional also appears to be more pervasively evil. I already protest-voted against genocide, so I’m just an observer.

    Can Biden Declare Martial Law To Suspend the Election?
    Q: Can Biden declare martial law like Zelensky and postpone the election?
    ​ A: YES! The question of the constitutional status of martial law was raised during World War II by the proclamation of Governor Poindexter of Hawaii on December 7, 1941. He suspended the writ of habeas corpus and delegated to the local commanding General of the Army all his own powers as governor and also “all of the powers normally exercised by the judicial officers . . . of this territory . . . during the present emergency and until the danger of invasion is removed.” Two days later, the Governor’s action was approved by President Roosevelt. The regime which the proclamation set up continued with certain abatements until October 24, 1944.​..
    ​..Therefore, reviewing these decisions, I would have to say that while it would be controversial, the government could call this a necessity if they can get Russia, China, North Korea, or Iran to declare war or attack before the election or certainly before January 20th, and they could declare Martial Law. Hence, the Democrats, in the hands of the Neocons, could carry out their coup, suspend the election, and seize the country as Zelensky has done in Ukraine under the same theory. They would need to close all courts, including the Supreme Court, out of NECESSITY, real or manufactured.​ https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/armstrongeconomics101/opinion/can-biden-declare-marshal-law-to-suspend-the-election/

    ​ Elon Musk Calls for Complete Ban on Voting Machines
    ​X owner Elon Musk called for elections to use traditional “paper ballots in person with ID” during a town hall in Pennsylvania on Sunday…
    ..Over the past week, Musk has been on the campaign trail for Donald Trump, telling crowds, “This election, I think, is going to decide the fate of America, and along with the fate of America, the fate of Western civilization.”
    ​ The Tesla CEO is now coming under fire from Democrats like Pennsylvania‘s Democrat Governor Josh Shapiro, who demanded an investigation of the billionaire entrepreneur’s daily $1 million giveaway to signers of his petition to support constitutional rights.
    ​ During the event, Musk poked fun at electronic voting machines, warning that computers are “easy” to hack and that “the last thing we want to do is have electronic voting machines.”​ https://www.dailyfetched.com/elon-musk-calls-for-complete-ban-on-voting-machines/

She follows Harrisburg’s John Dreher and Pittsburgh’s Kristine Fishell as winners in Musk’s highly attention-getting incentive scheme to bolstering petition participation — and build a list of names for the PAC to exploit in the run-up to Election Day.

    ​..In an explosive leak with ramifications for the upcoming U.S. presidential election, internal documents from the Center for Countering Digital Hate—whose founder is British political operative Morgan McSweeney, now advising the Kamala Harris campaign—show the group plans in writing to “kill Musk’s Twitter” while strengthening ties with the Biden/Harris administration and Democrats like Senator Amy Klobuchar, who has introduced multiple bills to regulate online “misinformation.”…

    ..The Center for Countering Digital Hate is the anti-disinformation activist ally of Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Labour Party, and a messaging vehicle for Labour’s neoliberal think tank, Labour Together.

    ​ Spokespersons decide what words mean… Harris Campaign Says She Denies Israel Is Committing Genocide in Gaza
    At a campaign event at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, a protester interrupted Harris and said she invested “billions of dollars in genocide” and pressed her about the massive child casualties in Gaza, repeatedly describing the Israeli onslaught as a genocide.
    ​ Addressing the students, Harris said, “What he’s talking about, it’s real. That’s not the subject that I came to discuss today, but it’s real, and I respect his voice.”
    A spokesperson for Harris’s campaign said Sunday that the comments made by the protester “don’t reflect the position of the Biden-Harris administration or the vice president’s stance.”​ The spokesperson added that Harris “didn’t agree with defining the war as a genocide, and she has not expressed such a stance in the past, as this is not her position.”​ https://news.antiwar.com/2024/10/21/harris-campaign-says-she-denies-israel-is-committing-genocide-in-gaza/#gsc.tab=0

    ​ But they shoot anybody who goes outside… IDF confirms ethnic cleansing plan currently underway in northern Gaza
    ​ Those who are alive and remain in northern Gaza must flee immediately or else they will be murdered by Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in the coming days, three Israeli reserve soldiers told Haaretz this week.
    ​ A hard date does not appear to be publicly known, but the reservists warned that after the deadline passes, anyone still in northern Gaza “will be considered an enemy and will be killed” by Israel as part of the Zionist state’s ethnic cleansing operation in the region.
    ​ Known officially as the “general’s plan,” the ethnic cleansing operation is said to be the brainchild of retired Israeli general Giora Eiland, who wants all Palestinian civilians north of Gaza’s Netzarim Corridor, a strip of land controlled by Israel, to be forcefully evacuated. Anyone who stays behind will be exterminated like a rodent, either through direct military action or through starvation.​ https://www.naturalnews.com/2024-10-21-idf-confirms-ethnic-cleansing-operation-northern-gaza.html

    Toronto – The Most Zionist Community in the World
    Itamar Eichner, Toronto Published in YNET: 05.06.19, 19:02

    Translated from Hebrew version – https://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-5520737,00.html#autoplay

    Some 392,000 Jews now live in Canada, the fourth largest Jewish community in the world after Israel, the United States and France, but some see it as the most Zionist community outside of Israel. A recent study by York University and the University of Toronto found that Jews in Canada have a stronger connection to Israel than American Jewry: 79% of Canadian Jews feel a very strong or strong connection to Israel, compared to 69% of American Jews. Only 11% don’t feel connected to Israel, compared to 22% in the United States. 79% of Canadian Jews visited Israel, compared to 43% of American Jews.

    Ukrainian servicemen are increasingly refusing to follow orders and fleeing their positions, accusing their leadership of assigning them suicide missions, the Spanish newspaper El Pais reported on Monday, citing several Ukrainian officers.

    The Ukraine defense of Selidovo appears to have completely collapsed https://t.me/Anlystintel/20566 with the military retreating rather than fighting and the Russians taking the city in tact. The Ukraine army – or rather the hopeless Ukraine press-ganged civilians pretending to be soldiers – are not willing to die for the Jew running the show while his wife steals the country’s silver and goes shopping. I will be very disappointed in the Ukraine men if the Jew is still alive in a year’s time.

    The EU is bracing for a massive trade war with Donald Trump if he wins the US presidential race in November and erects new barriers to commerce with Europe, Politico reported on Monday, citing senior diplomats and EU officials.

    China simply mirrors whatever tarrifs the USA raises, resulting in fewer products being bought from the USA and the resulting balance of payments impact. Meanwhile most of what the USA produces that is of interest to China – food – can be bought elsewhere. Sure, China also buys fuel and basic machinery, but China can get that from elsewhere also, the aim of getting it from the USA is to spend some of that huge pile of USD that China currently holds. Tarrifs, for idiots, they are basically a purchase tax on ordinary Americans. But the tarrifs on food hit the agricultural sector hard.

    Is it:

    5. swayeded

    What is going on with you people? Attack all allies hour? So you attack for something they never said, you KNOW they never said, every here also read and also know they never said? Over and over?

    Who are you convincing? This isn’t like climbing on a pallet of t-shirts and preaching in WalMart: we all specifically READ, every line and KNOW, every word. We know that what you’re saying is categorically false: we read every line of every evidence ever published. The person you’re talking TO, is also an adult (male) and knows who they are. You’re trying to tell them they’re a sugar fairie or a cowboy when they’re a dry-cleaner? They KNOW who they are. They’re not going to go “Oh, whoa, I had no IDEA I supported Israel, boy I’m gonna get on that right away to please this troll I don’t know and never met.”

    I mean, what?

    I’m sorry as it’s hit everyone all at once as a spike here, after charting up for some time, and like 911 I’m not (as) susceptible to it so it’s mystifying to me. Is it in the water? Is there some secret UV, subsound emission? Secret letter from Chelsea in gym class? What?

    What does just emotionally making s—t up get you all, since it had been “out there” as sort of a loosy-goosey norm, but now is in here, where you’re all smart people? Does the emotion that causes the lying fill your fridge or something? You rest well at night for a good day’s work?

    So all these others: who are ALLIES, hate the same things you do, we all work together, get more done this way? We attack each other first, but the Global Elite by-n-by? Well, I’m at a loss. And they wonder why I think one’s (male) emotions should be under control. That is to say, men need to control themselves, emotionally, mentally, as well as physically. Because more useful effort is accomplished that way.

    “The Meek shall inherit the Earth.” And “Meek” here is “Power under control” look it up. It’s as in breaking horses, who are now under control, not cowering, but not running wild either. It’s only as the word changed meanings that we interpret it as “The cowering sapsuckers” inherit the earth.

    So with Witcher, if you yourself have one drop of evil, will you kill yourself for it? Hold yourself to account and consistency? Or what? And if so, what then? Evil will laugh and not kill itself and run free with you out of the way. So much the more ground to run with since you killed the 90% good people for not being 99% good. “The battleline between good and evil runs through the heart of every man.” Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

    Yes, I have evil. So do we all. The question is, like meekness, do we put that evil under CONTROL or power it and let it run wild? Seems to be running pretty wild in here.

    It is easy to make promises or say things that sound good, but it is much more challenging to follow through on those promises and demonstrate a commitment to those values.

    Even the promises don’t sound good; the people will pay for Musk to go to Mars; where is the promise to raise the income/purchase power of the people of the USA? The people of the west have declining incomes for so long now, while the rich get even richer, yet we are still waiting for a super hero to come along and try to fix that problem. Rebuilding the middle class.

    I rode my bike (flashing lights, front and rear) over to early vote before dawn. 10 minutes before the doors opened there was a pretty long line. I was wearing my Palestine bike-jersey. I was part of the scene, the experience… It was relaxed outside, but I felt the tension inside, right when I walked in.

    I voted against burning families with white-phosphorous bombs from my country and paying to shoot children in the head, if you know what I mean… Voted for that Jewish Lady Doctor Again…

    Not unexpected, the Biden admin just put tarrifs on all Chinese electric vehicles, so now the US citizens are forced to pay the Tesla price, hence Tesla calls the shots and makes more profits …. and you thought that the Biden admin hated Musk.

    It’s not cheating. It’s not lying. It’s accounting.
    https://www.zerohedge.com/political/waste-day-states-are-811-billion-debt

    Topline: America’s 50 state governments will need an extra $811 billion to pay off their current debt, according to the annual “State of the States” report from Truth in Accounting.

    Key facts: State governments had $2.9 billion in debt and only $2.1 trillion in assets at the end of fiscal year 2023, Truth in Accounting, a nonpartisan organization that promotes fiscal transparency and accountability, found. The gap will need to be covered by taxpayers sometime in the future.
    Twenty-seven states have “taxpayer burdens,” meaning their budget is not balanced and they would need to collect at least $900 from every person in the state to eliminate their debt. Massachusetts, Illinois, New Jersey and Connecticut received a letter grade of “F” because they would need over $25,000 from every resident to pay their bills.

    Only 23 states had what Truth in Accounting calls a “taxpayer surplus,” meaning they could pay off all of their debt and still have money to return to taxpayers. Four states received a letter grade of “A” because they have a taxpayer surplus above $10,000: North Dakota, Alaska, Wyoming and Utah.

    Unfunded pension liabilities contributed $840 billion to the debt. States have promised to eventually pay pensions to teachers, firefighters, cops and more, but have only saved up 70% of the necessary cash.

    Other post-retirement benefits are underfunded by $493 billion. They mostly consist of lifetime healthcare plans, for which states have saved up only 14% of the money they’ve promised to current employees.

    Researchers wrote that “Unfortunately, some elected officials have used portions of the money owed to pension and OPEB funds to keep taxes low and pay for politically popular programs. This is similar to charging earned benefits to a credit card without having the money to pay off the debt.”

    Underreporting pension liabilities is just one “accounting trick” politicians use to falsely claim their budgets are balanced, according to Truth in Accounting. Some states also overstate their revenue, count borrowed money as income, and more.
    Every state has a law requiring their budget to be balanced, except for Vermont.
