Minnesota wagging the dog:

From BinAnunnaki: No way these people are rioting in sub zero weather for free. Who is paying them and how much.

From JackStrawWichita: I read an X post this morning from a Spec Ops guy that says these protests are organized in exactly the same manner as what he's spent the last 2 decades fighting in the Middle East. The command and control structure is the same.

There is nothing organic about this uprising and it has many of the hallmarks of what Yuri Bezmonov warned about how the Soviet Union overthrew countries and expanded their empire. The four stages were (we appear to be in between stages 2 & 3 barreling toward stage 3):

1) Demoralization, "educate" an entire generation on the "proper" idealogy (15 to 20 years)

2) Destabilization, target country’s foreign relations, defense, and economy (ship all manufacturing to China, etc)

3) Crisis, 6-18 weeks of chaos as a climatic turning point.

4) Normalization, status quo and Overton Window dramatically shifted, expectations permanently gutted, military occupation standard.

Another way to say it: this is contrived, a formula, a script, it is not organic. We are being directed like puppets from a worn-out playbook at the merriment of psychopaths who own and control the media (what each side sees and hears, radicallizing all against one another) and who can hire armies of pretend rabble rousers.

The police hate the protestors and vice-versa, this did not happen by happy accident. We cannot let them divide and conquer us with this cheap astroturfing

The last time a state government openly defied federal law was in 1861. Said defiance was followed by secession and a hot war.

Is the current Dem plan for a do-over?

Dave aka Geezermann's avatar

That may be what they want, but Trump is smarter than they are and he won't allow that to happen. Look for them to use other methods to try to stop the Midterms from happening.

Starsky's avatar

I’m surprised the evidence has not already been destroyed. They got rid of it immediately in Arizona. After some independent YouTubers found bags of badly shredded ballots, one of the county supervisors had his chicken barn go up in flames. Suspicion was that it was full of ballots, plus he got insurance payouts for said chicken barn and 10,000 roasted chickens. Two birds, one stone. He has recently sold his failing egg business to a Brazilian company, as many people refused to buy his product following that debacle. And that guy claimed to be a Republican!

Today's "Brown Shirts" are the organized "protesters" (insurrectionists) funded by the radical Marxist NWO swine like Soros and the Dems.

Hitler's Brown Shirts were formed to combat the push by the jews, backed by the Bolsheviks, to install communism into Germany.

Team Blue doesn't have a plan, but whoever is funding them probably has. The issue is how serious and committed are they to continuing to play this game and why? What does winning look like?

Have you all seen the deep fake AI generated photo that the honorable Illinois Senator Dick Durbin entered into the Congressional Record yesterday?

Here it is:

https://x.com/EricTeetsel/status/2016681981887623280?s=20

Maybe this is why Jeffries urged members to stay home. They could do more damage from the well of the Senate, instead.

Kent's avatar

You're right, the Durbin pic looks so disingenuous , it must be AI

God Bless America's avatar

Oh my goodness… did people actually believe this? 🤦🏽‍♀️

Juju's avatar

They knew it was the ai version, but they used it because in imagery placement the human eye will first naturally land on the ICE Officer’s gun aimed right at Pretti’s head, giving the impression of a brutal assassination of an innocent person when in fact that wasn’t the case. But this image gives that impression - and that’s all they cared about. Evil swine

Matt L.'s avatar

Who knows? I’m not in a bubble where this would be taken seriously. But think about how this came to be. Durbin’s Congressional staff was either fooled also from their news feeds. Or, they knew it was fake and used Dick as their puppet. They had enough time to blow up this fake pic for the easel. Also, are we to believe Dick and his staff didn’t see the original footage that is much different? WTH is going on with Dick Durbin. It’s an extremely careless and bad look for the entire Dick Durbin office, who is the minority whip in the Senate. Dick Durbin also previously sponsored legislation to curtail deep fake imagery. And here he is as Exhibit A, why. I expect him to eventually apologize if he has any shred of decency.

And in there somewhere, amongst all the insanity and chaos of these riots, are some who are on the outer fringes enough to want “death by cop.” I think this is where we are with both the deaths we see recently. The “hate” addiction is spiraling out of control and there’s no other place to go but “out.” “Out of this world” for more of a rush. Psychologically, I’m at a loss for words, but I do know addiction and where it often leads. And these 2 people, who left planet earth this way, were out of their minds with the escalating forces of extreme addiction. JMHO

"...let her lesbian lover abuse her kids". Did that come out? I missed that but would like to read more if someone has a reliable source.

There were 2 different articles I read that outlined the events and complaint against her girlfriend. Supposedly a school nurse saw things that inspired an investigation?

And Ms Good was in major denial mode…

SadieJay's avatar

Yes. On full display as shoulder-shrugging mental illness. As a vacuum appears, whether from fear shots and side the side effect of frontal cortex brain death, something HAS to move in. People need spiritual discernment. Like when Jesus cast the demon out of that man in the Bible, but he chose the wrong path and didn't follow the Lord. And what happened? The demons returned into him with many more than were cast out.

And then there's always the possibility that the covid shots did something to his brain, in addition to whatever else was going on with him mentally. As a nurse, he most likely got a string of shots. True believer, all that.

Politico Phil's avatar

The Color Revolution in America

While the media gaslights you about "community resistance" to ICE, something far more sinister is happening.

A USAID operative who worked regime change in Yemen, Syria, Iraq, and Ukraine is now running emergency services in Minneapolis. She's not comparing Minneapolis to a war zone to be dramatic—she's telling you exactly who she is.

Minneapolis: A Textbook Color Revolution

Vice President Vance put his finger on it:

"This level of engineered chaos is unique to Minneapolis. It is the direct consequence of far left agitators working with local authorities."

The first explicitly Antifa group in America was formed in Minneapolis in 1987—modeled on a British organization and designed to import European destabilization tactics onto American soil. A foreign pathogen, nurtured for 40 years, now fully activated.

Mike Benz just released a devastating breakdown of how the censorship industry and regime-change apparatus have converged on American soil. Watch: Censorship Industry Annotated https://rumble.com/v74wln0-censorship-industry-annotated-119-firestorm-in-a-snowstorm.html

Why Now? The Empire Lost Its Primary Weapon

The new National Defense Strategy just ended 80 years of American support for regime change abroad.

No more color revolutions in other countries.

No more "democracy promotion."

USAID—the hotbed of anti-American activity—has been shut down.

So what do the British do when they can't run operations overseas anymore? They bring them home.

The same personnel who ran regime change in Ukraine and Syria are now running operations in the Midwest.

The 2026 Midterms: This Is the Real Fight

Here's what the British establishment understands: If Trump holds Congress in November, their entire system collapses.

Every move—from the Board of Peace at Davos to the new National Defense Strategy to the crackdown on the cartels—is connected to the domestic economic transformation that will decide the midterms.

Why the Left was Chosen

By Satan

They are mentally frail and unstable, making them easily corrupted.

They are gullible, making them easy prey to become morally destitute.

They have previous trauma and are of low self-esteem which makes them easy to manipulate and made to feel worthy when added into a cult.

They have no direction and are morose, without true joy, allowing alluring lies to entice them into the demonic fold.

They are not truly or wholly loved, making it easy to be violent,vicious and fanatic.

They are not balanced mentally, physically or Spiritually so the door to evil is wide open to them.

They are lacking a meaningful life so they are easily coaxed into one of hate and darkness camouflaged as Love and Light.

They lack critical thinking skills so they are not able to reason thereby falling into the first sect that will lure them in and use them for its own depraved actions.

They have nothing to look forward to so they bend a knee to anything that promises half a chance of fame or fortune.

They look into a mirror and see misery on the inside and out allowing Satan's lies of fulfillment to seduce them and do his bidding.

They are not surrounded by optimism so they are easily isolated, entranced and deceived by the great Manipulator.

They trade virtue and character for charade and circumstance.

They swap free will to be enslaved by the diabolical one not realizing they freely surrendered to it.

They worship the temporary in this life not paying homage to the Eternal.

They walk blindly in life and feast on all that is Mephistophelean.

They rush to judge others, but judgement will be upon them.

The Great Deceiver calls to them and they obey, in lockstep, hearing only his voice.

Because they allowed him in, they have bound themselves forever to a future spent in a hellish abyss.

In the end, the tragedy is on them. It will be too late to change or for reproach. Too late for anything but the Inferno itself.

This is why the Left was Chosen.

Give regards to Screwtape.

https://x.com/schwalm5132/status/2015470661490057540?s=46&t=cSeEBBSYS0TyLvydC8pTGg

I read another interesting post recently (that I can’t find now) about how all the incessant noise of these “peaceful” protests can affect those subjected to it, not just psychologically but also physiologically. The drum banging, the rape whistles, the air horns, the car horns, the profanity screamed right in their faces — it causes physiological reactions in the guys it’s directed against (adrenaline, fight-or-flight, I wish I could remember exactly what they said about the physical responses) that can subconsciously affect judgment and decision-making. The post didn’t address how all the incessant noise may affect the protestors themselves, but it seems that it would affect them as well. Put it all together, add in the physical confrontations and obstruction, and you have a situation that’s a powder keg just waiting for the fuse to be lit.

Gee Jay, tell us that non-citizens are voting without telling us non-citizens or voting! Especially since you are reputed to have fired the guy who ran Washington state licensing in 2018 because he was following election law too closely, and then replaced him with somebody who would take your orders to register every person who comes for a driver's license, knowing that there would be plenty of non-citizens doing so.

I’ve always loved the people stories, like Edison failing a thousand times before inventing the light-bulb.Those… were dark times in his life.

If Sin City is Las Vegas, what's Den City?…Mass over volume.

Instead of a swear jar, I have a negativity jar. Every time I have a pessimistic thought I put a dollar in it. It's half empty.

Trying to print some documents late last night but got distracted when my printer started making unusual sounds. At first I thought it sounded like music coming from the machine... turns out the paper was jamming.

I love Paris. One of my favorite cities. Though on my most recent visit I tripped on the cobblestones…Eiffel over.

My wife was testing out the hands-free calling in our car this morning. She called to tell me she saw a fox on the way to the grocery store...I asked her how she knew the fox was on its way to the store.....She hung up on me.

My favorite thing ever, I mean of all time, is exaggeration.No, that’s not it. Now that I think about it, actually, it is second-guessing

As an author I appreciate spell check though I’m not happy with autocorrect.It always makes me say things I didn’t Nintendo!

Me: I love having a garden...Friend: I didn’t know you liked to work in the garden....Me: Perhaps I wasn’t clear, I like having a garden.

Stopped at a gas station this morning to put air in my tires. Was disappointed to see it was no longer free. It was $4.75 just to fill up all four... that's what you call inflation.

I've started investing in stocks. Beef, chicken, and vegetable...One day I hope to be a bouillonaire....

I love Paris. One of my favorite cities. Though on my most recent visit I tripped on the cobblestones…Eiffel over.

Funny story. We visited my son and DIL who were living in Paris, 20 years ago. They were living in the Marais section also known as the American area for all the English speaking bars. We had been to a pub owned by two Americans and an Australian. After a few beers and some food we headed out. We were crossing a rather busy thoroughfare that had a slight speed bump like divider running down the center to separate traffic. Apparently when you are crossing busy streets in Paris you had better move or they will run you over. For the life of me, I don’t know how it happened but suddenly I was face plant in the street, my husband and son lifting me up, laughing uproariously. They brushed me off, I had a small scrape under my chin, but when I got to their place and looked in a mirror, I had a perfect ring of dirt on my white T-top where my left breast hit the pavement. Tripping in Paris, all these years later is something they still laugh about.

During the Loma Prieta earthquake I was living in Alameda where the infamous I-880 three level freeway collapsed. When it happened, a woman was driving on the bottom road where the pillars supporting the freeway were literally jumping out in front of her car, then out of the way, then back in front of her car when she hit one. It threw her through the windshield and in the process her left breast was severed. Fortunately, this happened right in front of the Peralta Children’s Hospital and ER folks found her and had her in the operating room reattaching her severed breast within 15 minutes.

The Minnesota stand down order could also be due to the spray “attack” on Ilhan Omar w/ a “mystery substance” (that turned out to be apple cider vinegar 😂) & she “bravely” carried on. Staged, “attack,” anyone??

The ground may be shifting but only because the Pretty-Goode midwits are white (IMHO).

Valerie's avatar

Apparently whether or not that attack was staged is a big deal on polymarket right now, lol. All I know is that if someone sprayed something at me the first thing I’d do would be to look down to 1) see if it really happened, because that’s super weird, and 2) see if any of the liquid hit me anywhere. I sure wouldn’t jump down and pretend I was going to punch a grown man. My verdict… super fake. Jussie Smollet part 312.

RunningLogic's avatar

Yep, I think that too. And apple cider vinegar?? That is a weird choice for anyone really trying to do something bad to Omar. I thought it would be urine or bacon grease or something like that.

Cindi's avatar

Bacon grease would’ve been hilarious

LMWC's avatar

I thought fake immediately. If someone squirts something of unknown origin at you, you first check to see if it hit you, then head to a bathroom to to wash off. “She calmly carried on.” So fake.

Juju's avatar

Watching her in every video they have of it reminded me of watching my classmates in high school who had no natural acting skills, but because it was a small town they had to be cast to fill the roles. Their minds were wholly focused on what they are supposed to say, where they are supposed to move (robotic like because they are busy in their heads) - and incapable of thinking what they actually look like and how to sell the character to those watching. Ilhan was the same way, the way high schoolers without talent look when they are doing a walkthru of the script and giving less than half an effort to believability. Ilhan had no facial expressions at any point that match reality of a true attack, she just knew “I’m supposed to move towards him as if I want to punch him, show courage against these MAGA criminals, say my lines...” She was focused on timing, lines, position. She was completely up in her head playing out the scene so she was robotic. Juvenile play acting.

Plus the cameraman behind her didn’t even flinch, he just smoothly continued to capture pics. Posture remained still and unconcerned. 🤨

Kimberly Bacon's avatar

You mean the staged attack? Good point about Good and Pretti being white, but isn’t it interesting that the majority of the rioters are white?

It's not that I don't care about the Epstein Files, it's that what happened in the 2020 Election steal is way more important to me and I've been impatiently waiting for the cover to be blown on that so the normies can no longer deny that the election was stolen openly, in real time, with the Malicious Satanic Media's help. And what I REALLY want to know is who gave the call for all of the counting to stop and for all of those news networks to cover for it.

Anyways, sounds like the Fulton County raid was planned as secretly and surgically as Maduro's capture. I'm sure that's just a coincidence.

Kathleen Janoski's avatar

But the Epstein files and the stolen election are probably connected.

"But one by one the sleepers will start waking up."

There was an explosion of Walk Aways after Charlie Kirk's assassination. Quite a few former Dems were woken up by their side celebrating Charlie's death and realized they couldn't stand with that.

I think (hope) the same is going to happen when the fraud all finally comes to light. Plus, it will have people questioning how many other elections have been stolen and for how long?

Becky's avatar

I feel like the ones capable have already been woken up, and those left are beyond reaching - so thoroughly captured that only viscious tragedy to them personally could ever rattle them enough for a reboot. I’ve stopped trying. I’m so tired of their childish games, spinning conversations where I’m the only one that has to give sources/facts/logic in response to their parroting the left’s narrative, and after spending all that time for their sake finding that they were never open to listening anyway, they are just testing for weaknesses in our arguments. Winning the argument is their fuel, not getting to the truth.

I feel bad for the captured senior citizens, but something tells me they are partly responsible for how we got here today and were never useful contributors to our society.

Becky's avatar

My concern since 2020 has been that ANY fraud evidence, no matter how solid, that reveals the fact that Biden did not win, will be seized upon by Minneapolis-style, hired rioting mobs in several if not many cities, and the rallying cry and all the optics will craft the narrative that President Trump has weaponized his administration for vengeance. Mind you, even if the fraud is undeniably proven, that will not matter. The President should have moved on.

Mark1's avatar

Disagree. As an American citizen and a voter, I very much want to know if the elections I vote in are secure, or not. If they cheated, and it can be proven, the penalty should be so harsh that no one will ever try it again. The elections for control of the most powerful nation are not in the same league as a thrown basketball game.

Margot Wooster's avatar

Becky, I strongly disagree. President Trump said right after the stolen election, “we caught them all, we have it all”. His team (Space Force?) already has all the evidence they need, this just has to play out in the right timing. Perhaps what the FBI just collected is backup and confirmation to that particular piece of the puzzle. A big fat NO to “moving on” - this election issue is critical to our nation!

Becky's avatar

I see that I should have said I fear the NARRATIVE will be that “the President should have moved on, not that I believe he should have. Sorry. I firmly agree with all posting here that 2020 needs to be remedied. My concern is that the left will violently object, using the PRETEXT that nothing coming out of a Trump DNI, DOJ or FBI can be trusted.

Beckadee's avatar

And Trump will take their narrative and shove it up their ass. If we don't have secured borders and elections, we don't have a country.

Donna in MO's avatar

Oh yes, the 'vengeance' lie is already been trotted out over Bolton, Willis and other prosecutions. Have even seen the MN crackdown on illegals and fraud written off as Trump just wanting to punish his political opponents. My HOPE is that the evidence is such that at least the sane middle see through this in time for Nov.

Armor of Light's avatar

That makes no sense to “move on…” Election integrity, if there has really ever been any, must be maintained under all circumstances. Our foundation is based on a system of constituents voting for a representative to a governing body. Closing one’s eyes to fraud is reprehensible and needed to be nipped in the bud ages ago.

Abiding Dude's avatar

Dems are well known scumbags who cheat at every opportunity...

But it is the RINO filth in congress that are preventing real election reform.

Jacquijacq's avatar

Oh yes they’d have loved for him to move on. Now they crying he’s weaponizing FBI for REVENGE. Revenge hmmm that would indicate he was wronged so basically they’re admitting it.

My only concern is that they’re crying there is now chain of custody now that the FBI has it and they will claim the FBI fabricated the whole thing. I sincerely hope they have video going at all times on those boxes

The Great Resist's avatar

Or, if it can be conclusively proven that Trump actually won the 2020 election, the Dems will then claim that his 2024 election victory was an unconstitutional third win and that he should not be allowed to be Pres now.

Your comment regarding the plants resonated with me. It is hard to have them all die.

I am out there covering all my precious plants when cold weather comes and I succeed to keep them growing. Then that hard frost hits; covering them no longer keeps them living.

Now my mind is turning to Spring and starting again. Life is funny.

Donna in MO's avatar

In MO, plant death is a Fall ritual. While many wax poetic about cooler temps, the changing leaves and pumpkin spice, I am eying my 18 outdoor pots and multiple flower beds with a mix of sadness that they will soon be dead and relief that the days of watering & deadheading are ending, and trying to decide which ones will get to come indoors. The lantanas go in the garage where they go dormant. They drop leaves and look dead but come back in the Spring post frost when I bring them outside. Several are over 5 feet tall-the back of the garage is a mini forest.

Dr Linda's avatar

I am in MO as well. I look forward to Spring. I will start seedlings soon.

It’s just simply sad when they die. That’s life.

Dr Linda's avatar

I do with a heat mat (I keep my house rather cool) & a covered tray.

Juju's avatar

I have nowhere indoors to bring our plants to because we only get southern sun with the way our house faces. I WISH I had a four season room that faced west!!! 😫 Heck even fully East would be good. The most that I could ever accomplish bringing a plant inside is to breed a family of mites or flies or other intrusive pests while the plant dies.

Last year I bought this pretty boxwood topiary in a large pot that would have benefitted from just one winter indoors before planting outdoors, but I had to put it directly in the ground. We have enough leaf drop to service our entire city, so I gathered up a bunch of leaves and smashed them tightly around and inside the topiary with chicken wire. I look out and wonder if it will survive. I’ve lost so many young plants before so it will shock me if I uncover any green during the spring.

I do this with my rhododenrans and my hydrangeas every year too. They all survived but I wouldn’t say they are thriving. It’s very hard in northern Illinois to enjoy the pretty flowering bushes and trees of the southern states without an east or west facing house.

I had a neighbor who had satsuma trees and she would wrap a string of incandescent Christmas lights around them, mostly the trunk. It some of the branches too, and cover them when we were going to get a hard freeze. Have you ever tried that? Granted, I live in the south and was in Louisiana at the time, so we have single digit deep freezes each year, but it might work if you haven’t tried it.

Karen Bandy's avatar

Good luck finding incandescent Christmas tree lights these days 🥹

robren72's avatar

I bought a few extra boxes of incandescent Christmas lights after Christmas at Home Depot...granted, they were the "icicle" type, but they still work to wrap around plants for light freezes. We got through an early light freeze with incandescent lights and plastic covers in my garden in early December, but they didn't hold up against the 3 day freeze that came later in the month.

My friend who used to live in NM always wrapped her fruit and almond trees in incandescent lights, that's where I got the idea.

What They're Not Telling You About Winter Storm Fern

I asked geoengineering expert, Dane Wigington, how much of the ice storm was man-made. His answer: "All of it."

..........................................................................................................................

This article is a summary of a spoken conversation between two human beings. It was condensed into written form using AI, and then edited by a human being.

Something felt off about Winter Storm Fern before it even hit...

....What I’m Taking From This

Here’s where I land after this conversation.

I can choose what I feed my kids. I can choose not to vaccinate them. I can grow organic food and raise chickens on our seven acres. But I can’t choose what air they breathe. None of us can.

That’s what makes this different from every other issue. It’s not partisan. It’s not theoretical. It’s the air.

What Dane is doing—methodically documenting, testing, building legal frameworks, testifying before legislators—is the long game. But the short game is just as important: every person who wakes up to this reality is one more person who can spread the word.

I’m not going to tell you the planet is doomed or that resistance is futile—that’s exactly what they want you to believe. The planet is resilient. Life is resilient. But it needs us to stop looking away.

Military Weather Warfare Waged In America: Geoengineered Winterstorms Pound Our Homeland. We Salute The Military While They Wage War Against Us.

...The literature confirms that magnetic nanoparticles and Graphene can be successfully used to create these superstorms. This is warfare against the US population. Our tax payer money is funding the destruction of personal properties, the environment and the attack of our health, for these nanoparticles end up in our lungs, organs, the food we eat and the air we breathe...

...Of course it is of interest that Graphene and silica dioxide particles used for ice nucleation is also used for the brain computer interface and self assembling nanotechnology...

...Pure Poison.

One would think that our military attacking the US population in an act of (weather) warfare would be against the constitution and lead to persecutions. But under the guise of top secret national security, this is allowed and continues to go on.

If our military dropped bombs on us, people would be outraged. But since it is the weather, most don’t understand that this is engineered. It is war. Just as Covid19 was sold to us as a virus, these horrific weather events are sold to us as natural by the Mockingbird media. The Shadow Government Military Industrial Complex with its Depopulation Agenda continues to be in effect.

For how long will this go on?

While I agree, we do have ice & snow in Missouri. I have lived here nearly 40 years. I used to cross country ski. Did geoengineering change this? I am guessing “yes”.

Clearly, planetary climate does fluctuate over time mostly dependent on the solar activity of the sun. However, these dramatic, seemingly one off, events are something else entirely. Just like the bio-weapon shot deployment, geoengineering is all about the poisoning and degradation of our food supply and of the people themselves. The objective? To induce a planetary wide famine. Michael Yon has been warning about the coming food shortages and famine for some time.

Just like the psyops plandemic democide, geoengineering has broad "plausible deniability" with the public. Who wants to believe that our military - under the command of the POTUS - is responsible for these depopulation programs attacking the American people? That is a bitter cup of cognitive dissonance.

The depopulation program is still in full swing - in spite of Trump winning the WH.

Spring of opportunities, my plant are frozen mush now just North of Gainseville...

IDK, I have a few things still growing in my winter veg garden, including the new hearty lettuce I planted last fall. My lettuce usually gets tired of the freezing by January, so I am pleased. And I to do cover my raised bed garden when it’s planning to frost overnight.

Sounds like you just need a greenhouse to put things in That don’t exactly fit your plant zone.

In case someone is thinking, it might be a good idea. You need to rewatch iRobot. What happens when the robot decides your threat to yourself so he takes action? I mean it … or they.

Your comment brought this to mind:

Revelation 9:6 (ESV)

"And in those days people will seek death and will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them."

I never understood how this could be.

It gives more urgency to share the Gospel of Christ Jesus.

I have great respect for good law enforcement, but sadly during Covid I saw firsthand that first line law enforcement is often tense and always armed. Sometimes something as simple as refusing to wear a mask looked to them like “picking a fight.” A 104lb, pregnant mom of three, homeschooling friend of mine went to jail, where she was strip searched and forced to take a cold shower- for what essentially was simply not wearing a mask (that is why the police were called, she never resisted but ended up arrested for trespassing and “obstruction”).

So I understand your legal advice, Jeff, and generally agree, but if Covid taught us anything it was that you can become a criminal, anytime, for anything, at the whim of the mob.

Not defending Pretti’s choices just having Covid flashbacks 😢

Police officers in general are comparable to a type of cell called neutrophils. You absolutely need them, but they sure as hell can mess up the place when things get hot.

Plenty of evil, busybody Karens snitching, complaining that Government DO SOMETHING!!! and that cops remove the noncompliant superspreaders from society to keep us safe. Newcomer Migrants are welcome to disregard ALL Rules, Regs, and Laws and everything tolerated, or course, by these same Cultist-Commie, Moralizing Karens.

Federal Reserve next:

"But it shall come to pass, if thou will not hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all of his commandments and His statutes which I command thee this day, that all these curses shall come upon thee and overtake thee: ...The stranger that is within thy gates shall get up above thee very high, and thou shalt come down very low. He shall lend to thee and thou shall not lend to him; he shall be the head and thou shalt be the tail." (Deuteronomy 28:15, 43-44)

Agreed. Until the Federal Reserve is destroyed, the American Dream won’t be realized. The Federal Reserve stops that dream from happening: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/the-name-that-must-not-be-spoken

Thanks Dude. Will check it out

Found this old testament quote in Eustace Mullins Curse of Canaan.

Familiar with your Unz post about WW2

Read all authors mentioned.

Great stuff.

Let me know what you think... I loved it... eliminates a lot of "religious" fear and doubt...

But also will break down "Christian" mythologies... so will be rejected by most... due to... fear and doubt!

I interviewed for a job this week with an ai thing called Zara. It did not go well. The internet connection was lost in the middle and when it was reconnected Zara ended the interview. It left me with a cold, cold feeling about the soulessness of ai, robots, etc. As soon as the interview ended my phone rang, a call from someone who said “this is Zara” in an imitation of the Zara voice, trying to sell me business systems. Very 🥶 feeling. I use ChatGPT a lot, find it helpful yet I wish we could put all this back in the bottle.

It seems unfair to interview with an AI. A person can’t think as quickly as AI. Your AI interviewer has a great advantage over you. Jeff talked about an AI yesterday, moltbox. I would check that out and start playing with it. See if you can use it to your advantage in future interviews. Maybe it can help you craft your responses in real time. If they’re going to use AI to their advantage, you should use it to yours.

Beckadee's avatar

Have moltbox do the interview with AI.

Juju's avatar

🤣🤣🤣 coffee spew achieved 👍

JasonT's avatar

Far too many HR interviewers are much worse than any AI could be; soulless, too.

T.H.'s avatar

I'll check out molt box - thanks

Karen Bandy's avatar

Maybe it wasn’t an interview at all, maybe they were just gathering information for the sales pitch phone call. Creepy, scary world.

Austin the Pug-puppy's avatar

If/when I answer my phone when I don't recognize the number, I don't even say anything at first. If a human voice comes on.....stating my name, then I answer. I'm concerned they might be recording my voice for later use. Or.....I don't answer and call them back if they leave a message. Ugh......I miss analog!

Karen Bandy's avatar

I have Robo Killer on my phone. Doesn’t even ring, bad calls get screened and rejected. After checking out the call, it then will ring. I might drop it though, Apple just did an upgrade that screens calls. Need to check it out first.

Thanks for saying.

I hate talking to bots whose voice changes mid word. Makin' crazy world.

T.H.'s avatar

When I think about children who grow up with it, makes me wonder, because honestly there is no heart or soul there to relate to and it does something inside that is I think deadening. Also, what's lost intellectually when it's so easy to have something else do things or figure things out. Is it possible it can make you smarter, or just dumb you down to a human bot. I know I'm not the first to ask that but, anyway.

BelleTower's avatar

Sadly, the corporate medias efforts to turn Mr pretti into a martyr are not going well which means they eagerly await the next incited death. Also I will say that Alex was excellent at kicking! Not just the bucket either! Credit where credit due … he really hammered that taillight!

RunningLogic's avatar

Imagine what he could’ve done if he hadn’t been “peacefully” protesting! 😑

Strange that they don't care about unborn black babies and try so hard to save them.

Yes, this seems proof that cars are not well made any more - thanks to CAFE standards they are plastic pieces of crap vs the old steel bumpers that would likely have injured his foot with that kick. Or maybe he's wearing steel toed boots?

Laureen's avatar

Not Pretti and No Good. They murdered themselves.

Susan Seas's avatar

But unfortunately, the oblivious, who only hear the first news, poor innocent nurse just out there trying to help his fellow neighbor that’s what they heard and that is all they’re going to believe no matter what comes out later.

shayne's avatar

And what is it about nurses, that we find them in trouble with the law.... He isn't the first one. Hmmm.

Susan Seas's avatar

Yes, especially with all of them making TikTok videos proving they’re evil! One at least got her license stripped from her and the another one got arrested? It’s almost like they got injected with something that affected their minds!!

Laureen's avatar

innocent nurse, now that's a good one!

Yes, for those of us already awake, the slow drip has been painful - but this is one of the reasons I love Jeff/C&C as he does point out that the wheels of justice do move slowly and that we have to be patient, which is not one of my virtues.
