Multiplier; thoughts about the debates/interview; goodbye Prighozin, or is it?; BRICS balloons; media rescues Big Pharma, again; Hawaii killed people with roadblocks; SBF suffers; Big Law woes; more.
As we gear up for the flim-flam-demic 2.0 it is important to reflect on how much of a farcical fraud 1.0 was. SARS-CoV2 was and is dangerous to almost no one - and they knew it nearly from the the start:
In September 2020, this was the CDC's best estimate for the COVID-19 Infection Fatality Rate:
Rate by Age Group:
0-19 years old: 0.00003
20-49 years old: 0.0002
50-69 years old: 0.005
70+ years old: 0.054
Meaning all of this carnage was based on a deliberate lie:
The masks ● the social distancing ● the lockdowns ● the economic and farming destruction ● the mental and physical health destruction ● the arrested development of millions of children ● the myriad of preventable suicides ● the bevy of new, rushed, barely tested, deadly vaccines
"You're not supposed to know that all of your global "leaders" are working diligently to rapidly deteriorate your economy, society, security, and family because you'd be far less likely to go along with this charade if you knew you were just a gladiator in the Coliseum."
Can someone who understands policy explain to me why there were roadblocks up in the first place keeping people in? Why would they not be trying to get everyone evacuated? This breaks my heart into a million pieces. I can imagine the fight between my husband and me and on this one...he's a rule follower and he would've wanted to follow orders, but ultimately after a lot of argument I would've won and we would've driven over whatever had to in order to escape. These poor people. It makes me so sad to think of them just doing what they were told and turning around and dying like that. What monsters that did this.
Done and done! And I'm feeling all Thomas Painey today, so here ya go:
“Let them call me rebel and welcome, I feel no concern from it; but I should suffer the misery of devils, were I to make a whore of my soul by swearing allegiance to one whose character is that of a sottish, stupid, stubborn, worthless, brutish man.” ― Thomas Paine, The Crisis
A veritable smorgasbord of heinous blowhards at our disposal. Insert the name of your own nauseating goon.
As a personal acquaintance of someone who is being charged for his participation in the Jan. 6 protest in DC, and of another person who is being prosecuted in the Michigan alternate slate of electors case, I can understand that many people would support Trump even if he were convicted, since convictions in politically-motivated prosecutions don't necessarily mean a person is an actual criminal.

I didn't want to watch the debate, but my boyfriend really wanted to watch it... The last thing I want to see is good (and bad) GOP candidates slinging mud at each other for the next 10 months, but that's what will happen, and it will help the Dems. I never bought DeSantis fans's argument that Trump couldn't win in 2024, or at least that a GOP nominee DeSantis would fare any better. Why? The 10 months of mudslinging necessary for Trump to not be the nominee. DeSantis always had as much chance to beat Trump as Ukraine had to beat Russia. It's a shame because he could have waited 4 years, let all of these other candidates make clowns of themselves and been the obvious GOP nominee in 2028. If I was a FL resident, I'd be happy that he didn't have a stellar performance last night.
With that said, Vivek and Nikki were the obvious standouts. I'm curious at what other people thought about the foreign policy 'exchange' between Nikki and Vivek. Imho, Nikki's hysterical screeching was not a good look. She lost control of her emotions and said "He wants China to eat Taiwan". It wasn't presidential.
Also, I'm not one of those people who think we are facing an existential crisis. I thought that in 2008, and we survived 8 years of Obama. I thought that in 2021 during the vaccine rollout. Vaccine passports were a conspiracy, and then they were rolled out. Civil disobedience (and SEC football fans) saved our country and we'll do it again. Half of Gen Z and Millennials think the planet will be uninhabitable 10-15 years due to global warming. Buying into fear porn is self destructive.
For those who can afford it, I would like to suggest a second Operation Multiplier for CJ Hopkins, who is facing 60 days in jail or a 3,600-euro fine for two tweets courtesy of New Normal Germany. He just published details about his case and Legal Defense Fund this morning:
“The @CJ Hopkins case is the equivalent of the Assange case for satirists. If Germany succeeds in imposing this Sophie’s choice of a 60-day incarceration or 3,600 euros fine for TWO BLOODY TWEETS, that is the end of satire as we know it—at least in Germany and other countries that have weaponized ‘hate’ speech laws against those courageous enough to expose the authoritarian practices of their governments. For daring to draw valid historical comparisons with present-day policies and trying to STOP the advance of fascism, CJ is being charged with furthering ‘the aims of a former National Socialist Organization.’

My guess is that Prigozhin was assassinated by the CIA., not Putin.
I have a hard time believing that the Swamp(who control the voting results) will allow any results that we would want. They have committed so many crimes that they can't loose now.
Sam strikes me as the type of Vegan that primarily eats French fries and potato chips, plus the occasional baked potato with vegan butter and cheese. In my observation, there are quite a few vegans and vegetarians that don’t actually eat any green or colorful vegetables or even salads. They are primarily Potato A Tarians
Just as in the world trade center collapse, the Maui evacuation supports the concept of the wisdom of the crowd. In a crisis, follow your own instincts and disobey the experts.
I hate to say it, but that moment when the candidates were asked if they would continue to support Trump "if he were convicted in a court of law," when DeSantis hesitated and looked around at the others, and finally slowly raised his hand when he saw that Ramswamy had raised his, was an extremely bad look. I predict that DeSantis' polling numbers will take a palpable hit, which they can't afford.
My wife and I totally disagreed on Trump. I thought he was weak and unfocused, but she thought he was strategically trying to not appear angry and unhinged in order to perhaps better appeal to moderate voters. Now I agree with her. I'm too much of a hot head. There are no clips in the Trump debate that his enemies can take out of context (like the very fine people hoax) and use to paint him as unhinged or dangerous. Overall, Trump easily won the night. As somebody who very much wants DeSantis to succeed, somebody should have advised him to please, PLEASE wait until 2028, lest he completely lose his future viability by not being ready for the national spotlight at this very dangerous hour.
Dropped some bucks for Ray Smith. also:
Ted Nugent:
They'll keep setting fires until you submit to their climate change agenda.
They'll keep instigating shootings until you submit to gun control.
They'll keep faking pandemics until you submit to medical slavery.

They had a practice run for this charade in 2009: https://youtu.be/Gs-DBOFWCpc [3.31mins]
"You're not supposed to know that all of your global "leaders" are working diligently to rapidly deteriorate your economy, society, security, and family because you'd be far less likely to go along with this charade if you knew you were just a gladiator in the Coliseum."
“The cords of the wicked have encircled me,
But I have not forgotten Your law.
At midnight I shall rise to give thanks to You
Because of Your righteous ordinances.
...
The law of Your mouth is better to me
Than thousands of gold and silver pieces.”
Psalms 119:61-62, 72 NASB1995

• https://cjhopkins.substack.com/p/the-road-to-totalitarianism-part

I wrote a Note (https://substack.com/@margaretannaalice/note/c-38899653) about it with additional details:
“The @CJ Hopkins case is the equivalent of the Assange case for satirists.

“Anyone who has read even a single column by CJ knows the opposite is emphatically the case, as is made crystal-clear in my Dissident Dialogues interview (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/dissident-dialogues-cj-hopkins) with him from last year.
“I have written repeatedly about the weaponization of the ‘anti-semite’ label to silence dissidents because it is such a danger to those seeking to expose totalitarianism and has been used to crush innocents like poor Clemens Arvay (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/requiem-for-a-smear-victim-clemens) and threaten credible scientific voices like Prof. Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/profiles-in-courage-prof-dr-sucharit).
“We must stand with CJ just as we must stand for Assange (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/ode-to-a-whistleblower / https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/ode-to-a-whistleblower-video-tribute) as their persecution is not only about the vilification of innocents for daring to speak out but threatens the future of satire, journalism, and free speech for all human beings on this increasingly tyrannical planet.”

There you go, talking sense again!
"As for me, I’m wondering: where was Hilary Clinton yesterday?"

"I don’t know enough to know the answer.”
Biden should use that for his campaign slogan in the upcoming election race.
