"Argentina's Trump" winning; news on the Trump cases; Illinois keeps Trump on ballot; Florida university ditches DEI department; DeSantis vows help for Texas; McCullough crunches numbers; and more.
Now I understand better why no one realized Clark Kent was Super Man. The clothing and those amazing identity changing glasses are the trick. Trump should try some. They won’t be able to find him!
I did a project about 8 years ago that was frankly a little out of my wheelhouse. I mostly do research for private industry. But my client (who also mostly works in private industry) was hired to do a strategic plan for a State IT department, who wanted to use this plan as a tool to ask for a bigger budget. I looked at 5 states similar in population and dug into their IT departments and spending, interviewed folks, and read a number of industry studies and publications. It was frankly scary just how bad it was.
Pay scales don't come even close to what you can make in private industry. So you get what you pay for. Just like the adage 25% of doctors finished in the bottom quartile of their class. Oh you get some who like the job security and benefits, but you also get refugees who couldn't cut it in the for profit world.
Security measures, software updates, and new tech is hard to fund. Cobbled together code makes integration next to impossible, lots of islands.
This was 2015, maybe things are better now, but every time I provide personal information to a govt entity, I do wonder just how secure it is.
Me too. Then there was the time the Red Cross was installing fire alarms, we only needed two. However as I wasn't there at the time. They installed an alarm in every room, five in a 1300 sq foot mobile home. Are they really listening devices? One of the many things I wonder about.
Probably lazy Red Cross volunteers or paid staffers trying to finish their work as fast as possible. Fewer homes to enter, faster they can unload the endless alarms paid for by donors who do no audits.
I can assure you that it isn't better. I've gotten more notifications in the last 6 months about serious hacks into private industry than I've ever gotten, big hacks and that's private industry. I suspect the gov't keeps their hacks more secret...
Yeah my son is in manufacturing. 22 plants - got hit with ransomware and not paying the ransom. Rebuilding systems from the ground up on a plant by plant basis and they are now running production using paper schedules. His is one of the smaller plants so still waiting. Working a lot of hours and he is salary but lots of hourly workers getting OT. The productivity hit on these hacks is a whole lot more than spending the money on good security up front. But a lot of companies learn that the hard way.
Wow. My brother's bank account at Truist got hacked this week. Some fireman in NJ was using fire department equipment to hack into bank accounts. My brother is a nobody in po dunk nowhere NC. He literally has never used a computer (he's a farmer, country bumpkin type) and only ever uses his cell phone to call people, doesn't text, never been on the internet, etc. Fortunately, the guy didn't get any money. My brother has been asking them for years to disable internet access to all of his accounts. They finally did it this week. He told them the same thing about how protecting "online banking" from hackers is going to cost them a lot more money than just going back to paper.
I hate the cloud, want nothing to do with it. BTW, I work in high tech, leading edge stuff.
Sorry to hear about your brother. My mom is the same way, not on the internet, but I handle all of her accounting stuff. We are in between a rock and a hard place though, as mail delivery has gone to h*ll in a handbasket the past few years too. I ended up setting up online access for some things just because she was not getting statements, tax documents, etc in the mail, or getting it weeks or even months late.
But that is comforting to know you hate the cloud. I am only as tech savvy as I need to be and I try to avoid any cloud based SW when I can. I have the perpetual license Office suite, not 365. Have several programs I use for work that are getting glitchy due to age but are now subscription based only, hard pass. Most of the time when I say I hate the cloud I just get the OK Boomer remark. And I am Gen X! Old before my time I guess. Get off my lawn, lol.
I agree with your assessment of the cloud for the most part. However, we live in a rule area and we have had mail stolen from our mailbox several times. So anything online has MFA sometimes Cisco dual whatever I can get to tighten it up.
I don’t know if you remember UCLA Medical Center getting hacked in the news because the security program they were using was 15 years old, and UCLA knew it was just a matter of time. Anyone who worked there or who had gone there most likely ended up with the information stolen. UCLA has the money to stay up to day, but they’d rather spend it on buying $300 million buildings.
yes, 25% of them, our president didn't exactly finish on top either!!! Remember all his lies and the news reporter saying well this is "bye bye Biden". Look at him now. just goes to show how rigged it all is. If they cannot be bought and paid for, the party won't let them win.
And we all know that Biden simply IS NOT running anything. Someone else, or groups of people, are making all the decisions. The occasional speech Biden gives is written by others and he is still somewhat able to read what others write. I'm really frustrated at how the media, even the conservative media, rattle on a and one about Biden's dementia but don't get more vocal about questioning who the real decision makers are. Biden really is a puppet. Harris too. They are merely placeholders. And the Dems get away with it because the situation is never really questioned. Biden should be forced into taking a mental cognition test to start with. Yet no one is apparently able to force even that. So on it goes.
Think about the number of people who never finish college. I think only 30% actually graduate. That doesn’t mean they aren’t smart. I know a lot of people who don’t have degrees, didn’t graduate, or didn’t even go who are smarter than college “educated” people. Matter of fact, all the school board president in our city has to do is open her mouth, and you know within a sentence she’s a dim bulb. She has a higher degree, although I’m unsure how she obtained it.
They are similar to those used by the military. Have a pulse and be willing to do as you are told without thinking about what it is going to do to your victims.
Vonu -sounds like an AI name and all of your responses to me - You are repulsive and offensive in your replies. If you are a paid subscriber, I hope you’d be refunded your money to keep this group free of bottom of the pool slime! May the Star Breather, The Great I Am have mercy on your soul as you are not only demeaning The Name Above All Names, but also our military, not to mention the people on this substak. That’s where I draw the line. Star Breather can and will handle the evil ones of this world who are so afraid of going into their eternity without calling on His Name, but are too proud to acknowledge their need. When you degrade the very people who fight for your right to speak these disgusting words, you have poked the bear, the Mother of a military son, grandson, granddaughter, past relatives and close friends. May you find your justice soon.
Oma, I have a child in the military and I don't understand your response to Vonu. I read it as a continuation of what was being discussed with state IT departments and federal cybersecurity experts. Most of the people in the government, whether they're serving at the state or federal level, are incompetent. The State needs them to be that way to accomplish their mission of destroying the country.
I don't believe my child is one of them, but I do believe the government thrives on such people.
GG, “Have a pulse and be willing to do as you are told without thinking about what it is going to do to your victims” is not the sons and daughters serving in our military. It is not my son, grandson, granddaughter or was it any of my family who served a lifetime, some dying to give us what freedoms we have left. I’m sure it’s not you child either.
Thank you for your politeness in your reply to my comment, unlike in any of Vonu’s comments to some of the nicest people in a group I’ve ever been in.
Yes, ineptness is a prerequisite for most all government jobs. But you can’t be a “Christian atheist” and say anything intelligent.
Blessings on your family and child serving in the most turbulent, insecure time in our history.
My grandfather and husband also served. I believe they served with honor and valor. I know my son does. He suffers because his conscience isn't seared. When I read comments like Vanu's,, I don't take offense because I assume they're not speaking about my family. I don't have any experience with Vanu like you do though, so thank you for your explanation.
See, Oma, I take offense to comments like Resistance Action Australia below because he is impugning my son and his service. That really angers me. Who does he think he is?
Absolutely. I worked for the DOD in the 90’s. Many incompetents were hired even back then because of the way they looked. Many department heads couldn’t speak a grammatically correct sentence. I see it frequently now with police chiefs and fire captains. These are positions that require people to potentially make life or death decisions.
My late father was a WW2 vet, and he spent 25 years in the military. He was a navigator and flyer most of his military career. Back in the early 1980s after he had retired he would often talk about his military "superiors" and how many of them were not all that bright but they knew how to play the games they had to play to get promoted. Once promoted to higher positions they did very little and were basically political players within the military system. My dad was disgusted enough with it all that he didn't even want a military funeral when he died. My dad had a genius level IQ, by the way, and he didn't seek any position in the upper echelons of the military hierarchy as he found it all so disgusting.
I'm sure his Leftist bona fides were stellar and really anyone can do his job; just like the president--a warm body collecting a check and pension. He's a traditionalist in Leftist circles these days, white, gay male. Prob a rich kid too.
That's because his "news sources" deemed James O'Keefe not worthy of sharing with their audience. To their peril. Similar to how they refuse to present DJT. And the sheeple are ok with it until OMG comes along. (If you notice in the video, when James reveals who he is, the guy still doesn't know who he is because he is so uninformed.) BTW, great disguise!
I got curious. Looked on 3 search engines, multiple versions of the search, and LinkedIn, got nothing recent. Lots of Jordan Walker but no Jordan Tristan Walker. People search is not really my thing, though.
Therefore, it says, “God is opposed to the proud and haughty, but [continually] gives [the gift of] grace to the humble [who turn away from self-righteousness].” So submit to [the authority of] God. Resist the devil [stand firm against him] and he will flee from you. Come close to God [with a contrite heart] and He will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; and purify your [unfaithful] hearts, you double-minded [people]. Be miserable and grieve and weep [over your sin]. Let your [foolish] laughter be turned to mourning and your [reckless] joy to gloom. Humble yourselves [with an attitude of repentance and insignificance] in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you [He will lift you up, He will give you purpose].
Those women had free will. They decided to give in to the doctrines of demons. Willfully.
But even before that, ‘We the People’ turned our heads and allowed the RATS to pass Roe v Wade......and .....MEH......went on with our lives. So ‘No’ He hasn’t ‘tolerated’ it. He simply let it take its final course....
And here we are. With a pedo as President, who is also a fool. A cackling hen as VP, and an administration of abominations running our country
And He has a plan to end evil once and for all. In the interim, He allows time for more people to choose Him and be part of that coming world without sin and evil in His presence, eternally. It can be hard to see what’s happening but He knows all and we do not, He has seen what hasn’t yet happened. I trust in God’s plan.
It seems a lot of people think God is cruel because bad things happen. This isn't the case. Bad things happen because God gives humans one of His greatest gifts; free will and the latitude to use it. This is one of our and His greatest joys because it allows us to serve Him faithfully without coercion.
We wouldn't have man-written bibles if those who wrote them didn't have free will to write things to scare their fellow humans into doing what they wanted them to do.
You don't need the Bible to know that allowing someone to decide to freely associating with you is natural while coercing someone to interact with you is an abomination. One is true, the other is false. A world where no bad happens because God forces everyone to be good would be just as false.
You poor wee baby, you are scared into doing things others want you to do? Maybe you should go through puberty and grow up. everything you say or do is because you are scared?
Seneca was an important and very influential philosopher that lived at the same time as Jesus. I’ve read his letters and always wondered why didn’t Seneca ask about Jesus? Why didn’t they meet? All those miracles yet there’s no personal correspondence among people to be found. Why didn’t Jesus write anything? He had a family. Why don’t we know if any of his relatives are still alive? It seems like they would still have great status even today.
To Seneca, Jesus would have been "just some itinerant preacher in Judea", if he'd even heard of him at all. Christianity didn't reach Rome until a decade or so after Jesus' death, and still then wasn't taken seriously by many Romans (what, you want us to worship only ONE god, and you say this god inhabited the body of some executed terrorist who got up and walked around again afterwards? Don't make me laugh!)
Personally, I think it's BECAUSE of the great status that would be attributed to relatives of Jesus, that God allowed such records to be lost. I mean, just look at the fuss made by the Roman church about the "Successor to Peter", and he's not even blood-related, to just one of twelve apostles (though arguably the spokesman).
Perhaps you are saying you don't accept the institutional church(es) with it's "man-made" theology and guilt manipulated control? Sadly, much (most?) of the church does operate this way.
Hey Vonu, it's me again. Laugh at this if you want, but I think Jesus "sent" me a message for you. It's a sermon by a pastor we met years ago when we spent a lot of time in Chattanooga. For awhile I listened to him regularly, but it has been many months since I did so. This sermon link came up on my Facebook page this morning and I was intrigued enough to listen. Travis is not the typical pastor you might expect. Would you please listen? I'm praying for you.
God has always given man free will to decide to follow Him or rebel against Him. It’s the same “story” that has been repeated since the beginning of time. We are all sinners and need to repent and follow Jesus but only through His grace and our repentance, then accepting the atoning work of Jesus’ innocent death on the cross can we be right with God. Our world is broken and fallen through all the sin. Confess, repent and turn away from sin! Follow Jesus! He is coming again soon!
"...God has always given man free will to decide to follow Him or rebel against Him..."
Just to correctly qualify this statement, salvation is solely of God's grace. We do not have free will to save ourselves. Our response to salvation is to follow Him of our own free will. You correctly imply this when you say, "and follow Jesus but only through His grace and our repentance..."
They are just being the irresponsible womanizers that many never grow out of after puberty.
If woman would refuse to spread their legs, they wouldn't need abortions.
If a woman is raped, she should proceed to the nearest ER to have a pelvic exam and a rape kit completed. If she waits until there is detectable brainwave activity or a heartbeat, she is aiding and abetting murder IMO. The legal system is overdue in recognizing that the human zygote is the smallest form of individual humanity and deserving of all applicable rights.
I see now what you take exception to. Your issue is with the fallen state of man, what we call the total depravity of man and the fact that "a god" would allow that. All I can say is the entirety of the Bible is about the fallen state of man and God's provision for redemption and restoration. In that regard, there is NO FREE WILL. Man is born into sin and his salvation is only by the grace of God. Our response to His sovereign grace is our faith in Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son of God. Thus endth the lesson for the day.
Such a question is based on an erroneous presumption and indicates ignorance at best and evil intent at worst. There is no excuse for the former, and as for the latter, I won’t bite.
You’d prefer perfect conscription to whatever is good for others? Best for others? At what point does it stop? Are we supposed to be making any decisions for ourselves?
Me smells a rat- you want divine intervention in every situation, why don’t you vote for big government? You might be on the wrong blog.
I believe in the self-evident universal consciousness that created everything and would never demand worship while loving its creation unconditionally.
That’s a pretty good definition of God. “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament shows His handiwork” (Psalm 19:1). “The requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness” (Romans 2:15). “This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth” (1 Timothy 2:3-4). I don't see a demand in any of that.
Vonu, “you are not far from the kingdom of God” (Mark 12:34). Do you have an open mind and enough imagination to try a thought experiment? “Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him” (Hebrews 11:6).
To one of your earlier comments . . . Wouldn’t God be able to maintain the accuracy of His message no matter who writes it down? Or let’s assume for a minute that Scripture is corrupted by human writers. Does that change God?
You acknowledge “the self-evident universal consciousness that created everything” and reject theology consistent with that as “completely man-made.” Please explain how that’s not a self-contradicting thought experiment. And since you’re a fan of reality, come clean. Are you the authority on what created everything or a seeker of truth?
Totally off topic, but it does fall under the realm of government interfering with our lives. I am starting a project documenting the skies over Columbus and the "contrails" in them. Perfectly clear skies at sunrise this morning, now less than an hour and a half later, the sun is already dimmed and the sky is covered. I intend to prove, through current and historic photos (meaning photos I've taken since the 80s) that something in the skies is happening. What will doing this obtain? Maybe nothing, but a picture is worth 1,000 words, and at the conclusion of this project, I'm going to start asking meteorologists to explain.
This is an actual company in Nevada proudly explaining their cloud seeding. The 2nd smartest guy recently put a substack together that included all the patents. He also mentioned a statute that makes geo engineering illegal in the US. Jeff, can you look into that please? Is this only for warfare outside the US?
My dad was a physics professor in a small town in Idaho in the 1950’s. He also was known as a rainmaker. Farmers would pay him to seed the clouds. I have a few news articles about his ventures. The technology really is not new.
Unfortunately, this is a slippery slope from a nice small town physicist helping the farmers to a completely blue sky this morning in NE Florida to a cloudy soup of criss cross seeded clouds whose purpose elude me.
I was just telling my husband the other day that when I was growing up in Illinois near an Air Force base as well as an international airport, I never saw “trails” coming out of the jets that routinely flew overhead. Something is definitely different now, and it’s not good.
Document weather conditions when you do. Then people like myself ca prove to you how the conditions in the upper levels determine how many contrails you see, and call chemtrails. Have you ever noticed how they seem to follow a grid pattern? Do you ever wonder why they are so perfect?
Why don’t we see if we can get a law like NH in place in Florida? And other states. I can’t believe that anybody in their right mind would support cloud seeding. That should include democrats.
I saw four forming this morning west of Columbus (actually a whole lot more, but these stood out to me.) They were in perfect formation, same length, same thickness, same distance from each other. I showed someone at work the photo and he said they were incoming planes to the airport. I said then there's going to be one h-ll of a mess because it looks like they will arrive together.
One of my friends said the same, regular contrails because of increased air traffic. It’s complete nonsense unfortunately because we still have days on which they don’t spray, same air traffic though. This has become my most urgent issue. If you care so little and have so little common sense as to fly a plane like this and spray stuff in the atmosphere I am pretty sure you won’t stop at spraying whatever some shady government agent hands you some day (vaccines?). Medical freedom will mean nothing.
Right - I keep thinking to myself that these pilots KNOW what they are doing and clearly don't care. Maybe that's why we have a pilot shortage, other than them just dying from the jabs... they went to work for the shady government.
I didn't realize it until I downloaded the photos I took yesterday, but one of the chemtrails goes from white to black and back to white. There was also a huge black streak on one of the photos. Don't tell me that's a contrail.
These Chem-trails are all over Arizona, too. It is a big topic on X and YouTube where you will find photos from all over the world. Just search Chem trails. Jet Contrails are white frozen water vapour from jet fuel combustion and they don’t stay long after the jet passes. Chem-trails are different. They are a checker board pattern across the sky which do not follow regular flight paths - no idea where all those planes come from! I was on the window side of a flight crossing Utah and a 737 was flying parallel to us and it had massive, thick, dark coloured stuff forming two solid lines that stayed in the sky..did not dissolve like vapour does. Totally un-natural and un-nerving.
insane people don't notice stuff like that. they're sly, not smart. there's a difference . besides, they can jet off to places left uncontrolled, and enjoy themselves in a nice seaside vaycay home. the perpetrators of this also believe they can stop and reverse the damage after they've eliminated the "trash"
I live in South Texas and we don't get a lot of rain. But I've noticed that when the weather channel has a forecast for rain in the coming week,I can look up and see, every day, contrails, then comes the rain. I was worried about this, about how humans seem to be controlling the weather, is everything being controlled? Now I don't care. We just had tons of much needed rain. I can't stop it if that's what's causing it and so I've accepted it for now. On the other hand, there have been many times when rain has been forecast and nothing happened. So, honestly, I don't know. And I remind myself that all the people who think they are controlling everything are not God. They just screw up eventually; they think they have it all figured out, but they just make a mess because they're human. It's God's world.
We should not have any rain now. Florida in winter time is normally weeks of sun, yet every week there are two days of rain forecast. In come the contrails. The earth needs periods of natural sun and rain. Who is to say when rain is ‘much needed’? Is that notion provided by the powers that be via the media and then parroted around?
That's not good. Are they all over your skies in all directions, too, or do there seem to be more to the west of you (which would be Columbus). I'm curious because I can already hear people blaming the trails in the skies on Port Columbus.
My coworker said they could be from Wright Pat, and I said come on, give me a break. They are all over the country. Yep, my skies in Cbus were pretty gray by about 3 p.m, too. Infuriating!
I feel like once Megyn Kelly commits to an issue, she goes "all in." See her change of heart on the whole trans thing. Happy to have her on board. She sounds downright resentful when talking about the shots (and she didn't have her kids get them).
Agree, nice to have them on board even if belatedly.
It is a bit unsettling that so many influential and powerful people couldn't see this stuff from the start and only realized it was a bad idea after problems started showing up. Anyone with a shred of common sense could tell that everyone pretending a man can turn into a woman wasn't going to end well. Better late than never though I guess.
I think those of us who have known old school transsexuals were slow or are still lost at sea with the trans issue not seeing that this is a completely completely different ball of wax. Old school transsexuals wanted to pass as opposite sex but did not believe they were the opposite sex, they paid for their own surgeries and made the decision as an adult after much deliberation. The new thing is grotesque medical and legal scandal opening doors for some truly terrifying concepts.
I mean, sure, but she has made some very public statements and on the trans issue has really put herself out there. I see some issues VERY differently than she does (she is living in 2004 or 2008, politically), but I'm happy to have her more awake.
Megyn Kelly, who I like and listen to regularly, still insists Biden won 2020. While she does change her mind on things, she’s still got a long way to go.
It’s terrible that she has to lose her sister AND get a disease for her to open her eyes. You would think after getting fired from Fox her eyes would have been opened wider.
Too bad she didn't bail out as she had plenty of wealth. Unlike a lot of military and folks in rural areas who had no good alternative when faced with 'get jabbed or get fired/discharged and lose all medical and pensions'.
I’ve always been bothered less by true believers in the jab than those who knew something wasn’t quite right but got it to travel or go to concert etc. The people who where willing to lose livelihood helped turn thing around and others caved for so much less.
I don’t have any sympathy for this. Such foolishness! My MIL got it to go into LA! Smh!!!! I would live as a hermit if I had to. Who cares. When your life is ruined you will deeply regret doing it so you can partake( travel, play, school, 🙄)
From other things she's said, she's slow to go all in on anything she considers "conspiracy" - like that elections were stolen. I don't know if she doesn't go all in for business reasons, i.e., YouTube, doesn't want to be branded, or if she's just very cautious and, well, slow about some things. I like her, she's really smart, but a little slow on the uptake on this.
We'd be better off if more famous people had the courage to talk about why they didn't get the vaccines.
The only notable thing that Megyn Kelly has done, IMO, was display her astonishment while moderating a debate on a foreign stage when Putin told her in plain English, "Don't worry, be happy." The shot went from Putin to her with her mouth hanging open. It was the best part of a generally otherwise vanilla event.
She dropped precipitously in my view when she adopted the vocabulary of a sailor after starting her own program. Those who rely on vulgarity don't deserve any respect from intelligent viewers.
They should know better than to target those strong and brave enough to speak out. They’re just going to be stronger and braver when attacked. Morons! Go Megyn! 👏👏
One of our local meteorologists refused to go along with the climate change BS, and he is now a state senator in KS. Mike Thompson. And a local news guy who saw Covid as the last straw in the lefty march on his station quit and ran for Congress in MO's 4th District, Mark Alford. He ran a pretty vanilla campaign in a red district, I was skeptical, and couldn't vote for him anyway, but he's been surprisingly good, and supports Trump. So there are a few out there that stand up.
Her sister died from a heart attack @ 58 years of age. Megyn has said her sister was a recovering opioid addict via prescription drugs provided by her doctor several years ago for a painful health issue. Apparently, she had been clean for a year before she died. I don't recall Megyn ever disclosing her sister took the jabs or suggesting her sister's death was caused by the jabs but who knows. Either way, big pharma had a hand in her unfortunate demise.
Love Dr. McCullough and I couldn’t agree more! The jabs should be and I think will be a huge election point. I sure wish Trump would acknowledge the truth!
I agree they SHOULD be a major election issue, but I don't think they will be. It seems like everyone has gone silent on them. Yes, I still hear ads to get "up to date" on vaccines, but not nearly the full-court press like before. No one in my family or in my social circles talk about them at all whereas before they asked for updates on shot status.
Yep, that's my fear, it will all get pushed under the rug and we will end up in a Groundhog Day scenario where we keep repeating the same bad policies. Drs are still on it, a friend just told me they still get asked about giving her kids the shots at their Dr visits.
I wish Dr. McCullough was clearer on the math. If 40% of people (or more) understand to oppose the jabs, and 60% of people vote, that doesn't mean that 2/3 of the voters oppose the jabs. Still, the data he presented be encouraging.
Did he really mean it that way? Almost has to be overlapping voters and non-voters. Any portion of those non-voters deciding to vote due to that issue, or normal voters letting that issue tip their vote a certain way, could have a huge effect on elections. And if RFK takes advantage, major party candidates may take notice.
I agree with you. But let's say 40% of 60%, that'd be 24%. A big number, but then people vote on other things besides jabs. Some are concerned about other issues, and many just vote for whoever they find likeable, or whoever their influencers recommend. Many suffer from TDS and will vote for whoever they think can vanquish Orange Man.
I have wondered whether Mt. Trump is simply biding his time (no pun intended) until the 'conventions' are in the rear-view. Then he can come out with a heavy-hitting anti-vax platform which will be fresh in the minds of voters in early Nov. Edit: Came in to change "Mt. to Mr.--but decided to leave well enough alone.
Yeah, but not likely after he’s touted the shots as “miracles” and “saving millions of lives” even recently. This one issue has made me think he’s one of them with the great rhetoric. Just playing his part.
Al, you are accurate and I appreciate some one else sees this too. I would assume since C&C readers tend to be more critically thinking, they ALL should be asking themselves this.
Thanks Amy--I hate to say it, and I hate to think it, but after almost 4 years of information, it seems unlikely to me that anyone can rise up in the ranks and gain the highest power in the land without the deep state on board. People need heroes--I get it. And many people have gotten angry at me and said, "if you're right, there's no hope!" I disagree but I see how devastating it would be for those to entertain the idea that Trump is part of the ruling class mafia. Again, I hate to say it, but all signs point that way.
It seems to be a matter of accepting how powerful the ruling class/bankster cartel is--how long they have been ruling the world and manipulating its citizens and how clever, strategic and well funded these people are.
It’s hard to make sense of it all though given all the grief they’ve given him and everything they’ve put him through. Is it all theater? Could be but it seems like a lot of trouble to go to and too many people involved to keep that quiet. It makes sense on some levels but doesn’t on others 😕
If you think about each of the "griefs" it doesn't seem that far-fetched to me. J6 was an intelligence operation, and all of these lawsuits would be easy to set up--you don't need too many people involved--the process takes care of itself. Isn't curious how he is overcoming all of these accusations though and mostly all before the election (that's fast for the judicial process)? Insurrection (set up to be overcome), documents at Mar-a-Lago, GA election fraud (oh, the drama there that obliterates the charges!). Is it possible all he has to do is play along?
I hear you. But what bothers me is also what is NOT happening. Real candidates are not given any press or GOP/DNC support--those entities were long-ago captured. No press for them, banned from Youtube, or shadowed on Twitter, or absent on Google. And yet, Trump has gotten tons of media attention DAILY since 2015---even these past 4 years when he was no longer president. Why would the press keep that memory alive?! Why not occasionally mention him as mere history? Why did CNN host him? The NYT and Atlantic publish anti-trump articles DAILY. It takes an enormous effort to keep inundating readers with Trump.
I think if one assumes that the people in power do not have that level of control over the dissemination of information, and\or that there is an "organic" aspect to one's rise to fame/power, then it's easy to think he got here all on his own and his magnetism is the only reason he is the main object of media. He took a $250m loan from Soros (so did his son), he hobnobbed with the Clintons for years, he was a democrat. He was part of that club and then just changed his mind? We're so used to watching movies, we believe this schlock.
I go back and forth too. But that annoying little vaccine issue just keeps getting to me. He knows damn well how bad they are, he knows it was a DOD op from the start, he knows it was an American virus through NIH/NIAID/UNC pretending to be released in China---and still calls it the China virus. I just smell a rat!
Trump was heavily influenced by Birx and Fauci, somewhat naively perhaps, but it was new frontier and I have to believe he was doing what he could. He needs to acknowledge the harm now, or he is complicit however. So much is now known. Some of us proclaimed from the start that you cannot know long-term effects without studying them in real-time, but 4 years later any logically thinking human should understand these shots cannot be mandatory ever again.
Our naive president. He must have also overlooked that this was a DOD operation from the beginning, forgot that he signed more executive orders that obliterated rights, forgot that it was Fauci himself in charge of the gain of function research through the NIH, NIAID, UNC whose scientists worked for US in Wuhan and that this was 100% an "American" virus.
But yes, even that tired old excuse doesn't play anymore. You are right that he cannot NOT know what has transpired now 4 years later. And still touting the Pfizer line.
How many children have been vaxxed because of Trump’s statements? We have kids dropping dead and suffering disabilities and Trump refuses to acknowledge that the jabs are dangerous. His statements influence people to get themselves and their children jabs. It’s unforgivable in my book. The lives of America’s children matter!
That's the thing. I don't care if someone could convince me his political strategy is brilliant-- because in the meantime more children are being killed by these shots (all of the "vaccines" in my opinion--we've been lied to for over a century). My kids are fully vaxxed but after all I've read in the past 4 years, I have regrettably come to believe that all "vaccines" are killing/disease agents and that's what keeps the cartel in business.
If this were a poker game, Trump's vaccine stance would be his "tell."
If you are against vaccines, you are out. Dead, censored, etc. Vaccines are the only issue--too much riding on it.
RFK is playing his role illustrate that what I just said is not true. Nothing will come of him. It's an intricate game, well-strategized and funded for the long term.
If the IMF likes you it’s no better than the WEF on your side. That doesn’t bode well for Argentina or the world. Possibly just another show and another actor like Zelensky, just with better acting chops.
There is no way the globalists are giving up on their plan to enslave everyone with worldwide socialism, a one world govt., depopulation, etc. Not a chance.
100%. To look at it with rise colored glasses is just plain stupid…or worse. How he could have written that opens up an entire can of distrusting worms.
Well it’s either he’s one of them or he was fooled by them, and if the latter, his ego will never allow him to admit it. He did say when he doesn’t know something-medicine and science for that bill-he looks to the experts. I think he may have underestimated the extent of the corruption and pure evil prevalent through the US and world institutions.
I’d like to see an apology tour, an I was wrong admission, but I keep going back to that original plan he had in 2016 to institute a vax safety committee with RFK Jr at the helm and then he’s elected, Pfizer donates to the inauguration events and that plan is nixed.
I’m on the fence, but leaning toward the worst option of the two possibilities.
Yes- and that particular alliance with RFK back in the day tells us he knows plenty about “vaccines” — more than your average anybody. My gut is screaming he’s bought and paid for by pharma. Is it possible pharma is simply just too big to fight? I think it is, at least for now.
I am hoping he is smart enough to know the Pure Bloods that rejected The Shot don’t care who endorses forced medication- we will make up our own minds. BUT the growing number of sheeple who took the shots are still fragile and Trump wants to make sure THOSE people feel comfortable coming to his platform. Just my humble opinion.
He goes pretty far though, overselling its virtues and not even mentioning the pitfalls, much less the millions of lives killed. There would be a better way, don't you think, if he's just cunningly stringing everyone along?
My guess is that the shots are non-negotiable. You cannot go there--RFK is there to quell the masses and he'll never win. But even if he did, he's been a life-long liberal and will be as bad as Biden/Obama. He'll insist on new safety measures for vaccines and all will be right with the world.
If he says he was duped and relied on what was told to him they would go after and blame him for all the deaths. He’s in a catch 22. He would be involved in more lawsuits for manslaughter.
Yes, indeed, plus he is credited with OWS--as the originator of the life-saving vaccine. But this is more than just ego. This was part of the palybook. They needed Republicans and Democrats to take the vax--this was the only way. Have Trump deliver it to his people, then have Biden and his goons come in for the rest of them.
I’m sure many of us are experiencing the surreal aspects of the covid op. The numbers don’t lie, the people, outside of the hard core marxists and those who are completely brain dead are not taking the shots. This is a community immune response to a very real disease threat, one which issues not from a tiny bug, but from politicians and commissars and on a level below what can be detected by public expression of outrage that it deserves. People understand that this is a whack a mole game and they will evade as much as possible and hope to somehow get through it, but it remains part of what can be termed the unspeakable-that ongoing horror that cannot be voiced. It may come out from the safety of the voting booth or that too will be suppressed
The UN bldg demolished, the grounds turned into a park and all UN employees/workers with diplomatic immunity status returned to their country of origin
Yes, I find that disturbing. How many parents have or are getting their children vaxxed because Trump still endorses them and brags about how many millions of lives have been saved.
I was so glad he brought up Jamie Fox. Everyone loves him. Brings the harms out in the open. Could also have brought up Celine Dion but she’s not as universally loved (I for one don’t care for her music or style).
I agree. However, the real big question is how many people will not go R but will go for RFK bc they are dems who feel Med freedom most impt! This is what will determine the election. That and cheating.
I have a cousin in AZ who is very politically connected and reports that there are some amazing things happing in Phoenix as far as Kari Lake and Maricopa county.
Dick Morris is a former liberal-progressive who famously consulted for (among other progressives) Bill and Hilary Clinton while they were in the White House. He helped them win the election that got them into the WH, too.
He began to see the light much as Naomi Wolf, a one-time Democrat strategist and Obama White House consultant, has been seeing it.
Have you covered the truckers going to the southern border for a peaceful protest? They’re there now. This story has had no legs at all and they didn’t raise a whole lot of money either. FINALLY someone in our country endeavored to do something about our predicament and there has been little support or funding for the protest. I guess we’d all rather sit in front of our computers and complain on Substack.
We went down there a few days ago and didn’t see anything. Even talked to some national guard guys. Just from what they said and have seen, we are deep shit! One of the guys that we talked to has been doing it for 25 years and he said just the past two years alone he’s never seen anything like it and we have let so many insurgents in and yes he use that word.
I think many people were worried about the protest being taken over by bad actors who are implanted like Jan 6. You can be sure people have been implanted into it to try to disrupt it and make it look violent. We need to do what we feel is right and not react out of fear. Fear is what the libs and Marxists want. It is a means to control us.
The government perpetrated Jan 6 to scare us into passivity. It appears to have worked. If inaction seems to be our only choice, then let’s just admit we are powerless to our situation and that we are walking toward the Great Reset endgame —perhaps unwillingly, but walking there nonetheless.
Many people were excited about this form of real action, but it got a big yawn from the independent media. I’m really confused about this and kind of frustrated quite frankly. We must support the brave people who step forward and try to DO something.
I heard they are National Guard but a bill was passed to give them protection from being ‘Federalized’ but Biden, as he has threatened to do to the Texas NG.
The first commander committed suicide and the next one quit after one drill bc it was so messed up. We have 3 sons in the Florida national guard so we keep informed about what’s happened. They train at Stark and it hasn’t gone well.
They're scheduled to show up at THE BUSIEST BORDER CROSSING IN THE WORLD -- San Ysidro, the San Diego -Tijuana crossing -- on Feb 3. So, Saturday. I'm 20 minutes from there. I may go down . . .
I hope you do! I donated money to the truckers. They were expecting 77,000 truckers but with a lack of interest and money, I’m not sure what kind of turnout they’re having.
Just listened to DarkHorse podcast "Trojan Migration?" where Bret Weinstein describes his trip to Panama seeing two different massive migrant encampments...one being mostly young men from China that was not open to questions...very alarming to say the least.
Indeed, looks like military age men in that closed-door Chinese camp but here's another theory as Bret touched on. With China's One Child policy resulting in far too any men for the women available, add the current economic meltdown and an oppressive one party rule, those men might be mostly just economic and marriage opportunity migrants. Therefore, China's rulers HAPPY to make excess young males migrate as a social relief valve, and thrilled to drain their bank accounts in the process.
Migrants with cell phones and credit cards in a reckless Gold Rush willing to risk all liquidity and that of their family back home, too. Exactly like the 1849'ers from the USA and Europe, and many from China, too, who risked all to get to what the Chinese then called "Gold Mountain," San Francisco, the entrance to the California gold fields. After the gold rush in Australia, SF today in China is called "Old Gold Mountain."
This could all be shut down by demonetizing these migrants' and their family's payments to the criminals aiding their travel. Criminals because they all know not going through international border controls such as travel through the Darien Gap or paying someone to truck a suitcase across the US border while they go through a gap in the fence is criminal.
According to Yeonmi Park in her very good book "In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl's Journey to Freedom", one of the solutions to the lack of women in China is to buy North Korean brides, some willing, some not. Have no idea about the numbers and certainly can't imagine this would fulfill the need.
Americans are not going to get involved until TEOTWAKI happens. Wars and abject poverty are things that happen in other countries. Since 1865, America has been a safe haven, a land of relative plenty. Always has been, always will be. Like every country thrown into an unimaginable conflict, everything was normal the day before TSHTF. And then life changed forever. I don't see it happening any differently in the US. "How could this happen" the normies will cry?"
I hear you, and you may be right. My six times vaxxed sister-in-law just left after visiting and if she’s any indication of where the blind are in this process we’re in big trouble.
We just buried another friend last weekend who was a another blue pilled believer… 😢
Met a young nurse 2 days ago that told me she thought she had a light stroke during her first shot. She told me she was a single mom and couldn’t lose this job… She told me she loaded up on life insurance… mind boggling 😢
Your friend has been lucky… not so much for so many… 😞🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Lots are saying Don’t go, it’s a set up like Jan 6. I hope they are successful and stay safe! Facebook is hiding it & the farmers protest in France and Germany
Yes, IMF involvement is red flag here. Milei also turned down the invitation to join BRICS+. Looking more and more like he's a deep state/NWO asset. Not looking good for the Argentinian people.
No doubt the IMF loan offer was connected to his refusal to join BRICS+ and his decision to use the USD for their currency. He had originally decided to join BRICS+ then flipped on that at the same time deciding to use the USD. That sounds like some sort of backroom deal was made?
Yes he’s Argentina’s Trump- who may also be a deep state/NWO asset who simply says all the right things and keeps the fight/distraction going.
Jeff’s take is ridiculous IMO. The IMF giving him billions shows us that the IMF has come around? The good guys always win? That’s ridiculous. What REALLY bothers me is that I think Jeff knows better. The implications of that are depressing.
OTOH, as an economist and an anarcho-capitalist, Milei is well aware of the mechanizations of the NWO IMF. Given what he has done, I cannot say he is a NWO asset just based on the IMF loan. Milei is no dummy and he has demonstrated his commitment to his Ancap goals.
Why not! Do bankers every lend money without expecting 'a return on capital'? And I certainly cannot see it other than do Vonu and John Perkins.
Within the box factions matter. And factions do come in different flavors. Just like Chain Saw Milei ... the new flavor of the year and who known? Maybe for the rest of the century ... that is if it takes and sticks. But from the standpoint of the Invisible Hand directed by film production team of Apex Money, all the world is a stage. And the drama is marketing is sold as entertainment. And by the spectacle of entertainment, the masses are driven into oblivion uncomprehending. And that leads us straight back to the Confessions of an Economic Hit Man ... and a truly great and timeless read.
To answer your question: No, bankers NEVER lend money without expecting a return and in the case of the apex banking cartel of BIS, IMF and Federal Reserve (all serving the interests of the Rothchilds, Vatican and British Crown), their expected return is much more than interest.
Still I will watch to see if this will play out the way it always does or if Milei actually will bite the hand that tries to feed him. Somewhere, someday, someone is going to do something different. A lot of "some's" there...
The Real Money Complex at the very, very top has to always be working to settle conflict. There must be a continual resolve and resolution to keep an operation going and morphing for centuries. I try not to confuse control agency with implementation agency (front running institutions). And no, I don't see it all.
The best I can say, as to the overall, it has not of recent been old business as usual ever since maybe DJT as beta testing beginning in 2016, and Twitter X as to roll out implementation of the Next Big Thing ongoing.
The IMF looks like every other subversive force. Radicals don’t have an ideological agenda beyond disrupting the status quo, whatever it may be. Sometimes they seem to push the right direction, but only if it creates a profitable crisis.
I’m hoping he is somehow able to use this as a stopgap and then at some point in the future gives the imf wef-ers the finger. I don’t have any idea how he could do this. His neighbor chile required brutality to implement imf “reforms “ that merely lock in gains for oligarchs and squash people who actually work and support the economy . The imf terms are typically akin to the economy suppressing covid lockdowns implemented through monetary policy , Argentina is in for some pain.
The IMF may be looking at Milei and Argentina and realizing they cannot stop the reform Milei has initiated, decide they need to "join in" with a small $4.7B loan to keep their fingers in the Argentinian pie. If they can leverage this small loan into bigger loans then at some point they will have once again made Argentina captive to their money system slavery. Debt is always a form of slavery. (Our entire American society is now based on debt courtesy of the non-"Federal" Reserve Bank.)
In a separate thought voiced by our own Daverkb, when you step back and look at the whole picture, it looks like the Apex rulers have decided to reign things back in order to save their monetary system from complete collapse. Building on Dave's thought, by giving Argentina a small loan, they may be signaling to the rest of the banking world that the focus is now going to be on restoring a bit of stability. They cannot risk imploding their banking system and bringing down all the international debt they use to enslave the people of the world.
As Jeff wrote: "In a statement, the International Monetary Fund’s chief Kristalina Georgieva, if that’s her real name, praised Javier Milei's "bold actions to restore macroeconomic stability and... address long-standing impediments to growth." ...it signals official approval of Milei’s anti-socialist reforms"... ALTHOUGH I wouldn't go so far as to say they now think socialism is unaffordable...only the insanity of the USG O'Biden spending regime. Remember, the NWO did not anticipate the rise of an opposing force in the BRICS and they now face a competing money system based on actual assets (credit) rather than debt.
Now if they can only arrange a nuclear exchange to eliminate the BRICS system, they could finish the consolidation of their control.
Things are complex and simple all at the same time. The simple part is that Sham Fantasy Money is broken, and really since 2008/2009 ... and the USD Standard is in a heap of trouble. Somehow, the Whole Mirage has to be repackaged and re-sold. The complicated part is that in an era of failing credibility, the do-over has to have a serious infusion of credible buy-in. For example, a new high power replacement of dot money will have to have a credible feature, maybe a partial backing by gold. But it will be an advertising marketing trick. It will be call the old thing by a new name, tie a string to it and string it over a commodity like gold, and call it New Money You Can Believe IN with partial backing. And a little like that other catchy marketing slogan from the Obama years ... Change. But rest assured, you won't be able to redeem dots for real money of substance held in you hand. But you will have one great benefit. The financial institutions will be able to terminate your access with the flip of a switch ... and you will feel safe and like it! And it is all good to have an emotional buzz! Right!
Honestly. I think it's the Old Fool'em Strategy, a remake of Babylon. The Fool'em part is making it believable. But scratch the surface and Milei is a socialist. And it is Dial Back Socialism. And the same as here in the United States with the dial-back Pivot against Woke.
The secret to the "Dial Back" is they never dial all the way back to zero. And thus do they incrementally advance even when they appear in retreat and like compound interest, in 30 years they are rich.
Only with the actual historical destruction of the apex institutions and families AND their wealth who are behind this NWO will their plans ever be defeated. Until then, this war will continue. If Milei is not their puppet, then he prolly won't live long. We will see.
Zero on the dial in the American context would at the very least have to be dial back to the old American Christian States with theonomic organic constitutions. DJT would be a retograde dial back to FDR Socialism before America quite lost everything. And this is the irony, that DJT is what every Domocrat would have been mid-twentieth century.
I appreciate your insights and anaylsis and am a bit surprised by your take on Melei.
What our your thoughts on why Milei would have pulled out of the BRICS and do an about-turn on his commitment to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement as his first order of business.
As a self-avowed anarcho-capitalist, Milei is going defy all usual stereo-types. He probably doesn't want to align with any major international block. As for the Paris accord, I don't have enough information to comment on that. It should be interesting to see what he actually does in the future. Maybe he wants to go there as he did at Davos and give them a piece of his mind.
Interesting take and seems similar to Doug Casey. The thought of Milei doing the same takedown at the Paris Accords fills me with great anticipation! Thanks for your thoughts.
International Man: Javier Milei—Argentina’s Anarcho-Capitalist President—went to Davos and appeared to ruffle some feathers.
When asked why he attended the WEF conference, he said: “To plant the ideas of freedom in a forum that is contaminated by the socialist Agenda 2030 that will only bring misery to the world.”
What do you make of Milei’s appearance at Davos?
Doug Casey: A lot of libertarians have been skeptical of Milei, since almost all politicians just say what they think the audience wants to hear. But I’ve been a believer since he identified as an AnCap, not just a conservative or somebody unhappy with certain aspects of the system. The fact that he openly identified as an anarcho-capitalist told me that he might indeed be the real deal.
The fact that he walked into the maw of the beast just after the Schwabenklaus identified libertarians as the problem (link) and gave a flawless speech calling out these people for who they are, took real moral courage. He’s not just talking the talk but walking the walk.
I urge everybody to both read and listen to his speech to see what I’m talking about (link). It’s by far the most important speech anyone has given so far this century. And it may mean Argentina will be the best place in the world to be for the years to come.
What the Apex Money will never give us is money of substance. It's always dot money or pieces of paper with the only real change being the ink, a mirage of numbers.
"Romantic vulnerability" indeed. When I started in the intelligence community, they made it sound like foreign intelligence services would be constantly throwing nubile young women at me in an attempt to compromise me. Sadly, no such luck. Not that I would have given up any information, of course. But I'm mildly insulted that they never even tried.
Briefer: "She'll go back to your hotel room and do everything you want, but the whole time, there's gonna be someone behind the mirror taking videos and photos of the two of you..."
Me: "Really? Do you think if I ask, they'll let me have copies?"
Ever notice how many of these O'Keefe patsies are effeminate homosexual men? It's way more that random chance would predict.
I think O'Keefe has hit on the perfect sting. He leverages the inherent, unbridled horniness of men (i.e. romantic vulnerability) along with the catty, demeaning gossipy side of women. These targets have the worst qualities of both sexes.
I was thinking the same. I've come to the conclusion that this government is run by gays and trans... How does God bless this country with a beast at the head.
Agree, God made men and women different, each with our own strengths and weaknesses. When men act as women (or visa versa) the weaknesses of both are magnified and the strengths diminished.
Turns out God actually knew what he was talking about when He told us we must do some things and not do others.
I noticed this too but cannot fathom how daft these people are to keep falling for this. I wondered, if all of their info is scrubbed off the net the moment this sting drops, did they ever exist at all? Hopefully not actors. Ever the skeptic. 🧐
They’re young and smug, thinking “I would NEVER fall for that…I’m to smart and savvy (and probably sassy).” Look out below! (Can’t help but see Wily Coyote falling feet first off of a huge cliff holding a sign that says “uh-oh” as the Road Runner flies by. Beep beep!)
The jab issue will not be the most important issue this election, unfortunately. It will be the border or whatever new war they can cook up.
Ms Willis is still in office for the same reason Bob Peter’s is still in the WH, and Ray Epps, on dozens of pieces of video footage from J6 basically got a slap on the wrist while dozens of innocent J6 partakes are still in jail. They are telling us exactly.
🎶 It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine 🎵. Truly I tell you, we are spiritual beings having a human experience and this is not our home. Our time here is to grow in our faith and love for the Lord AND to be our brothers keeper. If we're doing that everyday, thanking Christ for his payment when we fall short,we have nothing to fear❤️
Keep the Faith 🙏 Hold the Line ✝️
Ps. The blood is critical. Live blood analysis is easy and knowing about a problem makes it a whole lot easier to mediate!
When I used to believe the fairy tale that the government was there to protect us, I would have worried about this embarrassing demonstration of Hanlon’s razor stupidity in a federal *cybersecurity* professional. Now I see it as an opportunity for enterprising hackers like Texiera to expose evidence of the corruption the compromised colluders are too cowardly to leak.
O the alliteration thou employeth. 😉I extracteth another moment of joy in the midtht of conundrum thentral. Pardon my lithp. *edit: Probably offended someone. I happen to think lithps are thort of cute, in the right perthon.
*lol*, glad you appreciated it, HI :-) I failed to come up with an acceptable 'c' word (oh dear, that's not what I meant!) for "leak," but at least it ends in a hard 'c' sound :-)
Sometimes I just throw up my hands and repeat that 'Everything is a Rich Man's Trick' thing. And I tend to think that we are in a long, long boiling pot phase right now. And then someday will come somebody who nails up some kind of statement numbered statement on a church door and then the whole world changes. But only for a while.
I tend to think we have not arrived at critical mass yet. And then again in a fit of pessimism I at the same time fear that the only constant in the 'world equation' is the stupidity of the masses. And yet, we all long for sunshine. And so the world turns.
Didn't you hear? Mortality rate of under 5% if you even think those numbers are accurate. (For the mathematically impaired that's a survival rate across all age groups of over 95%.). Better shut everything down! Forgive this morning's sarcasm but I am so sick of the evident decline of cognitive ability in this country. So grateful for the people here!
I keep hearing that word to describe the past going-on-four crime-ridden years. Even Jeff keeps saying it -- but geez Louise. Who ever thought there was...and now...who would keep saying there was??
I appreciate the professional hardship Dr McCoullough endured and I appreciate him still speaking up. But I wish he wouldn’t insist on being in a pis*ing match, so to speak, with Dr Malone. I wish Dr McC would insist ”his” people stay supportive of and united with other conscientious objectors (like Dr M) to global health dominance instead of fighting with them. “They” want us to fight internecine warfare and destroy ourselves from within. Let’s not comply with self destruction. :)
Something is not right with Javier Milei - does not pass the smell test and never has. Now add his speech at WEF (!) and big funds from IMF and the smell gets worse. It LOOKS good, but too good. Time will show something is not right here. Remember, the IMF tends to use the loans to impose future financial hardships to service the interest of the loans, not to mention the principle. Now that we have “debt for conservation swaps” or “debt for climate swaps”, maybe this is a long-range move in that direction?
I can tell that you and most of the commenters (or Jeff, it seems) haven't actually read anything about the IMF deal or what led up to the three week old story Jeff mentioned today.
Basically, "key program targets were missed by large margins due to severe policy setbacks of the previous government."
The referenced program was a $44 million loan. The $4.7b is the potential available to Argentina based on what the IMF already sees from the new administration.
They don't have to take anything. They are still on the hook for the $44m.
Just doesn’t smell right! Can’t he just take the money, let it collect the interest and when IMF asks for the strings attached, “no, we changed our minds” and give the money back, of course minus the interest!
I highly appreciate anyone (Jeff) who can learn and keep up with the latest technology and trends, and keep us current, rather than be heads down. It makes all of us smarter and more current and helps us keep up and understand this crazy world. It takes 5 minutes and we all have 5 minutes at some point in our day.
The fact that this dolt couldn’t recognize James O’Keefe just shows how much of a bubble the left lives in. What a disgrace to this country.
Now I understand better why no one realized Clark Kent was Super Man. The clothing and those amazing identity changing glasses are the trick. Trump should try some. They won’t be able to find him!
Hahahahaha! GOOD one, Temcol!

🤣🤣🤣True!
💥 Huh, who da thought! 😂
Maybe this will set a new standard and someone with a government job will finally get fired.
🤣
If anyone deserves an Academy Award it is James O'Keefe!!
we have very low standards of hiring in our govt.
I did a project about 8 years ago that was frankly a little out of my wheelhouse. I mostly do research for private industry. But my client (who also mostly works in private industry) was hired to do a strategic plan for a State IT department, who wanted to use this plan as a tool to ask for a bigger budget. I looked at 5 states similar in population and dug into their IT departments and spending, interviewed folks, and read a number of industry studies and publications. It was frankly scary just how bad it was.
Pay scales don't come even close to what you can make in private industry. So you get what you pay for. Just like the adage 25% of doctors finished in the bottom quartile of their class. Oh you get some who like the job security and benefits, but you also get refugees who couldn't cut it in the for profit world.
Security measures, software updates, and new tech is hard to fund. Cobbled together code makes integration next to impossible, lots of islands.
This was 2015, maybe things are better now, but every time I provide personal information to a govt entity, I do wonder just how secure it is.
Me too. Then there was the time the Red Cross was installing fire alarms, we only needed two. However as I wasn't there at the time. They installed an alarm in every room, five in a 1300 sq foot mobile home. Are they really listening devices? One of the many things I wonder about.
Probably lazy Red Cross volunteers or paid staffers trying to finish their work as fast as possible. Fewer homes to enter, faster they can unload the endless alarms paid for by donors who do no audits.
Wow, that is overkill. Seems nothing is what you think it is these days.
Probably the MORE alarms they install, the more they get financially.
I can assure you that it isn't better. I've gotten more notifications in the last 6 months about serious hacks into private industry than I've ever gotten, big hacks and that's private industry. I suspect the gov't keeps their hacks more secret...
Yeah my son is in manufacturing. 22 plants - got hit with ransomware and not paying the ransom. Rebuilding systems from the ground up on a plant by plant basis and they are now running production using paper schedules. His is one of the smaller plants so still waiting. Working a lot of hours and he is salary but lots of hourly workers getting OT. The productivity hit on these hacks is a whole lot more than spending the money on good security up front. But a lot of companies learn that the hard way.
Remind me again why the cloud is so much better?
Wow. My brother's bank account at Truist got hacked this week. Some fireman in NJ was using fire department equipment to hack into bank accounts. My brother is a nobody in po dunk nowhere NC. He literally has never used a computer (he's a farmer, country bumpkin type) and only ever uses his cell phone to call people, doesn't text, never been on the internet, etc. Fortunately, the guy didn't get any money. My brother has been asking them for years to disable internet access to all of his accounts. They finally did it this week. He told them the same thing about how protecting "online banking" from hackers is going to cost them a lot more money than just going back to paper.
I hate the cloud, want nothing to do with it. BTW, I work in high tech, leading edge stuff.
Sorry to hear about your brother. My mom is the same way, not on the internet, but I handle all of her accounting stuff. We are in between a rock and a hard place though, as mail delivery has gone to h*ll in a handbasket the past few years too. I ended up setting up online access for some things just because she was not getting statements, tax documents, etc in the mail, or getting it weeks or even months late.
But that is comforting to know you hate the cloud. I am only as tech savvy as I need to be and I try to avoid any cloud based SW when I can. I have the perpetual license Office suite, not 365. Have several programs I use for work that are getting glitchy due to age but are now subscription based only, hard pass. Most of the time when I say I hate the cloud I just get the OK Boomer remark. And I am Gen X! Old before my time I guess. Get off my lawn, lol.
I agree with your assessment of the cloud for the most part. However, we live in a rule area and we have had mail stolen from our mailbox several times. So anything online has MFA sometimes Cisco dual whatever I can get to tighten it up.
I don’t know if you remember UCLA Medical Center getting hacked in the news because the security program they were using was 15 years old, and UCLA knew it was just a matter of time. Anyone who worked there or who had gone there most likely ended up with the information stolen. UCLA has the money to stay up to day, but they’d rather spend it on buying $300 million buildings.
Yes, With all the hacks these days, seems we are already at war, the media just has not acknowledged it.
yes, 25% of them, our president didn't exactly finish on top either!!! Remember all his lies and the news reporter saying well this is "bye bye Biden". Look at him now. just goes to show how rigged it all is. If they cannot be bought and paid for, the party won't let them win.
And we all know that Biden simply IS NOT running anything. Someone else, or groups of people, are making all the decisions. The occasional speech Biden gives is written by others and he is still somewhat able to read what others write. I'm really frustrated at how the media, even the conservative media, rattle on a and one about Biden's dementia but don't get more vocal about questioning who the real decision makers are. Biden really is a puppet. Harris too. They are merely placeholders. And the Dems get away with it because the situation is never really questioned. Biden should be forced into taking a mental cognition test to start with. Yet no one is apparently able to force even that. So on it goes.
And it’s shocking how many people think he’s doing a great job.
Think about the number of people who never finish college. I think only 30% actually graduate. That doesn’t mean they aren’t smart. I know a lot of people who don’t have degrees, didn’t graduate, or didn’t even go who are smarter than college “educated” people. Matter of fact, all the school board president in our city has to do is open her mouth, and you know within a sentence she’s a dim bulb. She has a higher degree, although I’m unsure how she obtained it.
I doubt things are better now. I’m guessing worse.
And evidentally many that work close to the president must be lgbtqwertyia++++.
Somebody up at the top likes them that way.
YYR,
The saying “Fish rot from the head down”.........Biden is proving that to be true and it’s very disheartening
Because they're all attracted to minors. 🤮
Birds of a feather...
like Obama? Wonder how Michael feels about that
😳🫢
.....just say, "the letter people"
Is LGBT a check-off box on a Federal employment application?
Sure seems like it. Otherwise, this white male probably wouldn’t have been hired.
They are similar to those used by the military. Have a pulse and be willing to do as you are told without thinking about what it is going to do to your victims.
Vonu -sounds like an AI name and all of your responses to me - You are repulsive and offensive in your replies. If you are a paid subscriber, I hope you’d be refunded your money to keep this group free of bottom of the pool slime! May the Star Breather, The Great I Am have mercy on your soul as you are not only demeaning The Name Above All Names, but also our military, not to mention the people on this substak. That’s where I draw the line. Star Breather can and will handle the evil ones of this world who are so afraid of going into their eternity without calling on His Name, but are too proud to acknowledge their need. When you degrade the very people who fight for your right to speak these disgusting words, you have poked the bear, the Mother of a military son, grandson, granddaughter, past relatives and close friends. May you find your justice soon.
Oma, I have a child in the military and I don't understand your response to Vonu. I read it as a continuation of what was being discussed with state IT departments and federal cybersecurity experts. Most of the people in the government, whether they're serving at the state or federal level, are incompetent. The State needs them to be that way to accomplish their mission of destroying the country.
I don't believe my child is one of them, but I do believe the government thrives on such people.
GG, “Have a pulse and be willing to do as you are told without thinking about what it is going to do to your victims” is not the sons and daughters serving in our military. It is not my son, grandson, granddaughter or was it any of my family who served a lifetime, some dying to give us what freedoms we have left. I’m sure it’s not you child either.
Thank you for your politeness in your reply to my comment, unlike in any of Vonu’s comments to some of the nicest people in a group I’ve ever been in.
Yes, ineptness is a prerequisite for most all government jobs. But you can’t be a “Christian atheist” and say anything intelligent.
Blessings on your family and child serving in the most turbulent, insecure time in our history.
My grandfather and husband also served. I believe they served with honor and valor. I know my son does. He suffers because his conscience isn't seared. When I read comments like Vanu's,, I don't take offense because I assume they're not speaking about my family. I don't have any experience with Vanu like you do though, so thank you for your explanation.
God bless.
See, Oma, I take offense to comments like Resistance Action Australia below because he is impugning my son and his service. That really angers me. Who does he think he is?
??
Absolutely. I worked for the DOD in the 90’s. Many incompetents were hired even back then because of the way they looked. Many department heads couldn’t speak a grammatically correct sentence. I see it frequently now with police chiefs and fire captains. These are positions that require people to potentially make life or death decisions.
My late father was a WW2 vet, and he spent 25 years in the military. He was a navigator and flyer most of his military career. Back in the early 1980s after he had retired he would often talk about his military "superiors" and how many of them were not all that bright but they knew how to play the games they had to play to get promoted. Once promoted to higher positions they did very little and were basically political players within the military system. My dad was disgusted enough with it all that he didn't even want a military funeral when he died. My dad had a genius level IQ, by the way, and he didn't seek any position in the upper echelons of the military hierarchy as he found it all so disgusting.
Yes. And the WRONG standards.
I'm sure his Leftist bona fides were stellar and really anyone can do his job; just like the president--a warm body collecting a check and pension. He's a traditionalist in Leftist circles these days, white, gay male. Prob a rich kid too.
That's because his "news sources" deemed James O'Keefe not worthy of sharing with their audience. To their peril. Similar to how they refuse to present DJT. And the sheeple are ok with it until OMG comes along. (If you notice in the video, when James reveals who he is, the guy still doesn't know who he is because he is so uninformed.) BTW, great disguise!
Ya, no backlash. Wonder ehat happened to that Jordan guy who freaked out!?
I got curious. Looked on 3 search engines, multiple versions of the search, and LinkedIn, got nothing recent. Lots of Jordan Walker but no Jordan Tristan Walker. People search is not really my thing, though.
These “date” videos are too similar to each other. Quite the distraction and always a lack of action.
Exactly. Feels like theatre to me.
It must be on the Biden hiring website. "Per the Big Guy only gay horny stupid men apply." smh.
Or it was set up from the beginning. Acting. So much drama and chaos and “messaging” sent through “trusted” journalists.
these folks are sly, and formally educated.
they are not smart
Therefore, it says, “God is opposed to the proud and haughty, but [continually] gives [the gift of] grace to the humble [who turn away from self-righteousness].” So submit to [the authority of] God. Resist the devil [stand firm against him] and he will flee from you. Come close to God [with a contrite heart] and He will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; and purify your [unfaithful] hearts, you double-minded [people]. Be miserable and grieve and weep [over your sin]. Let your [foolish] laughter be turned to mourning and your [reckless] joy to gloom. Humble yourselves [with an attitude of repentance and insignificance] in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you [He will lift you up, He will give you purpose].
— James 4:6-10 AMP
Janice, try putting this prompt "a pop Christian song inspired by James 4:6-10" into app.suno.ai
Okkk…I got “Grace Overflows” and “Humble Hearts.” That was a new experience for me. 😀
Not even sure I did what you suggested . . .
Is this the same God that has tolerated the murder of millions of unborn babies for the convenience of loose women?
Those women had free will. They decided to give in to the doctrines of demons. Willfully.
But even before that, ‘We the People’ turned our heads and allowed the RATS to pass Roe v Wade......and .....MEH......went on with our lives. So ‘No’ He hasn’t ‘tolerated’ it. He simply let it take its final course....
And here we are. With a pedo as President, who is also a fool. A cackling hen as VP, and an administration of abominations running our country
Very well said CStone!
Well said CStone! You summed it up correctly.
And He has a plan to end evil once and for all. In the interim, He allows time for more people to choose Him and be part of that coming world without sin and evil in His presence, eternally. It can be hard to see what’s happening but He knows all and we do not, He has seen what hasn’t yet happened. I trust in God’s plan.
You also have free will but you don't appear to be using it in your choice of information sources.
And where are your information choices?
Snopes? 😂
Definitely not you since I'll be ignoring your ad hominem attacks henceforth.
And second of all, exactly ‘HOW’ did I attack you? I didn’........
And what kind of attack was yours?
It seems a lot of people think God is cruel because bad things happen. This isn't the case. Bad things happen because God gives humans one of His greatest gifts; free will and the latitude to use it. This is one of our and His greatest joys because it allows us to serve Him faithfully without coercion.
We wouldn't have man-written bibles if those who wrote them didn't have free will to write things to scare their fellow humans into doing what they wanted them to do.
You don't need the Bible to know that allowing someone to decide to freely associating with you is natural while coercing someone to interact with you is an abomination. One is true, the other is false. A world where no bad happens because God forces everyone to be good would be just as false.
If you are scared by what is written in the BIBLES
I'm never been interested in any form of fiction to read enough of it to get scared.
Have you ever heard Bill Cosby's Chicken Heart routine. You really should.
You poor wee baby, you are scared into doing things others want you to do? Maybe you should go through puberty and grow up. everything you say or do is because you are scared?
I will be ignoring your ad hominem attacks henceforth.
I thank God for the ability to think for myself. What about you, Vonu ?
Seneca was an important and very influential philosopher that lived at the same time as Jesus. I’ve read his letters and always wondered why didn’t Seneca ask about Jesus? Why didn’t they meet? All those miracles yet there’s no personal correspondence among people to be found. Why didn’t Jesus write anything? He had a family. Why don’t we know if any of his relatives are still alive? It seems like they would still have great status even today.
To Seneca, Jesus would have been "just some itinerant preacher in Judea", if he'd even heard of him at all. Christianity didn't reach Rome until a decade or so after Jesus' death, and still then wasn't taken seriously by many Romans (what, you want us to worship only ONE god, and you say this god inhabited the body of some executed terrorist who got up and walked around again afterwards? Don't make me laugh!)
Personally, I think it's BECAUSE of the great status that would be attributed to relatives of Jesus, that God allowed such records to be lost. I mean, just look at the fuss made by the Roman church about the "Successor to Peter", and he's not even blood-related, to just one of twelve apostles (though arguably the spokesman).
I don't have anyone else to credit for being a Christian atheist.
What in the Sam Hill (expression my 4 year old grandson amuses me by saying) is a Christian atheist? The two words are contradictory.
A Christian is one who follows Jesus Christ instead of man-made deities created for the purpose of controlling others.
Thank you for the response, but Jesus Christ claimed to be God, for which He was crucified.
Perhaps you are saying you don't accept the institutional church(es) with it's "man-made" theology and guilt manipulated control? Sadly, much (most?) of the church does operate this way.
Hey Vonu, it's me again. Laugh at this if you want, but I think Jesus "sent" me a message for you. It's a sermon by a pastor we met years ago when we spent a lot of time in Chattanooga. For awhile I listened to him regularly, but it has been many months since I did so. This sermon link came up on my Facebook page this morning and I was intrigued enough to listen. Travis is not the typical pastor you might expect. Would you please listen? I'm praying for you.

He died for those loose women, too, and as long they have breath, they have a chance to repent. Those babies are lost to us, but not to Him.
He gives us all free will.
I don’t think we are free or have free will. Money and privilege give free will.
To a degree. My sibling is very successful but a slave to his LOVE of money. He will never have enough. Sad.
It is our natural state.
God has always given man free will to decide to follow Him or rebel against Him. It’s the same “story” that has been repeated since the beginning of time. We are all sinners and need to repent and follow Jesus but only through His grace and our repentance, then accepting the atoning work of Jesus’ innocent death on the cross can we be right with God. Our world is broken and fallen through all the sin. Confess, repent and turn away from sin! Follow Jesus! He is coming again soon!
"...God has always given man free will to decide to follow Him or rebel against Him..."
Just to correctly qualify this statement, salvation is solely of God's grace. We do not have free will to save ourselves. Our response to salvation is to follow Him of our own free will. You correctly imply this when you say, "and follow Jesus but only through His grace and our repentance..."
When does your theology say that time began?
I think loose men have something to do with it too. Don't you?
They are just being the irresponsible womanizers that many never grow out of after puberty.
If woman would refuse to spread their legs, they wouldn't need abortions.
If a woman is raped, she should proceed to the nearest ER to have a pelvic exam and a rape kit completed. If she waits until there is detectable brainwave activity or a heartbeat, she is aiding and abetting murder IMO. The legal system is overdue in recognizing that the human zygote is the smallest form of individual humanity and deserving of all applicable rights.
Though I have different presuppositions, I come to the exact same conclusion.
A legislative recognition that the human zygote is a genetically unique human being would be the end of abortions because they'd clearly be murders.
What I've been saying forever and a proposition the American church has not had the clarity or courage to get behind.
😲
How do you know God “tolerates” it?
Did he tell you that? Did you ask?
Do you also tolerate it?
What kind of conversations do you have with God?
I see now what you take exception to. Your issue is with the fallen state of man, what we call the total depravity of man and the fact that "a god" would allow that. All I can say is the entirety of the Bible is about the fallen state of man and God's provision for redemption and restoration. In that regard, there is NO FREE WILL. Man is born into sin and his salvation is only by the grace of God. Our response to His sovereign grace is our faith in Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son of God. Thus endth the lesson for the day.
Such a question is based on an erroneous presumption and indicates ignorance at best and evil intent at worst. There is no excuse for the former, and as for the latter, I won’t bite.
You’d prefer perfect conscription to whatever is good for others? Best for others? At what point does it stop? Are we supposed to be making any decisions for ourselves?
Me smells a rat- you want divine intervention in every situation, why don’t you vote for big government? You might be on the wrong blog.
I'd prefer the constitutional army that has only a 2 year allocation when it is needed.
Why do you assume God tolerates it?
Because he does nothing to stop blatant murder of the innocent.
No. That's a different god.
I don't believe in any god.
I believe in the self-evident universal consciousness that created everything and would never demand worship while loving its creation unconditionally.
That’s a pretty good definition of God. “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament shows His handiwork” (Psalm 19:1). “The requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness” (Romans 2:15). “This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth” (1 Timothy 2:3-4). I don't see a demand in any of that.
Vonu, “you are not far from the kingdom of God” (Mark 12:34). Do you have an open mind and enough imagination to try a thought experiment? “Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him” (Hebrews 11:6).
To one of your earlier comments . . . Wouldn’t God be able to maintain the accuracy of His message no matter who writes it down? Or let’s assume for a minute that Scripture is corrupted by human writers. Does that change God?
Why would an imaginary deity need to be defined?
Thought experiments are for those can't perceive reality.
I don't know where you imagined that I mentioned the accuracy of a completely man-made theology.
You acknowledge “the self-evident universal consciousness that created everything” and reject theology consistent with that as “completely man-made.” Please explain how that’s not a self-contradicting thought experiment. And since you’re a fan of reality, come clean. Are you the authority on what created everything or a seeker of truth?
Totally off topic, but it does fall under the realm of government interfering with our lives. I am starting a project documenting the skies over Columbus and the "contrails" in them. Perfectly clear skies at sunrise this morning, now less than an hour and a half later, the sun is already dimmed and the sky is covered. I intend to prove, through current and historic photos (meaning photos I've taken since the 80s) that something in the skies is happening. What will doing this obtain? Maybe nothing, but a picture is worth 1,000 words, and at the conclusion of this project, I'm going to start asking meteorologists to explain.
Look what I found: https://www.dri.edu/cloud-seeding-program/
This is an actual company in Nevada proudly explaining their cloud seeding. The 2nd smartest guy recently put a substack together that included all the patents. He also mentioned a statute that makes geo engineering illegal in the US. Jeff, can you look into that please? Is this only for warfare outside the US?
My dad was a physics professor in a small town in Idaho in the 1950’s. He also was known as a rainmaker. Farmers would pay him to seed the clouds. I have a few news articles about his ventures. The technology really is not new.
It seems though that there is lot more of it going on these days. Did your dad have an airplane?
Not at the time. Someone flew him around. It was only for a few years. He was involved in many ventures or should I say adventures in his lifetime.
Unfortunately, this is a slippery slope from a nice small town physicist helping the farmers to a completely blue sky this morning in NE Florida to a cloudy soup of criss cross seeded clouds whose purpose elude me.
My thoughts exactly! Something is up.
I will absolutely check that out - thank you!
This is wrong on so many levels.
Limiting it to what can be done from the ground instead of from aircraft would limit the effects.
Chemtrails Destroying Planet Earth
Here is the proof:
www.geoengineeringwatch.org
I was just telling my husband the other day that when I was growing up in Illinois near an Air Force base as well as an international airport, I never saw “trails” coming out of the jets that routinely flew overhead. Something is definitely different now, and it’s not good.
Reinette Senum is suing strategically a weather modification company to start setting precedent. She has a Substack.
Document weather conditions when you do. Then people like myself ca prove to you how the conditions in the upper levels determine how many contrails you see, and call chemtrails. Have you ever noticed how they seem to follow a grid pattern? Do you ever wonder why they are so perfect?
It’s like they’re weaving an impenetrable basket of chemicals over our heads.
Bill Gates made the statement that he was going to “Dim the Sun”.......and he’s doing it.
Killing us softly, and apparently there’s nothing we can do about it.
Why don’t we see if we can get a law like NH in place in Florida? And other states. I can’t believe that anybody in their right mind would support cloud seeding. That should include democrats.
I saw four forming this morning west of Columbus (actually a whole lot more, but these stood out to me.) They were in perfect formation, same length, same thickness, same distance from each other. I showed someone at work the photo and he said they were incoming planes to the airport. I said then there's going to be one h-ll of a mess because it looks like they will arrive together.
One of my friends said the same, regular contrails because of increased air traffic. It’s complete nonsense unfortunately because we still have days on which they don’t spray, same air traffic though. This has become my most urgent issue. If you care so little and have so little common sense as to fly a plane like this and spray stuff in the atmosphere I am pretty sure you won’t stop at spraying whatever some shady government agent hands you some day (vaccines?). Medical freedom will mean nothing.
Right - I keep thinking to myself that these pilots KNOW what they are doing and clearly don't care. Maybe that's why we have a pilot shortage, other than them just dying from the jabs... they went to work for the shady government.
I didn't realize it until I downloaded the photos I took yesterday, but one of the chemtrails goes from white to black and back to white. There was also a huge black streak on one of the photos. Don't tell me that's a contrail.
I would love to know what ‘We the People’ could do to stop it. Many understanding is that it is subsidized by Gates, another demon posing as a human.
What could ‘we’ possibly do to legally stop this?
I am thinking of promoting a law like the one in NH here in Florida. Maybe our man Jeff can help? 🤞
These Chem-trails are all over Arizona, too. It is a big topic on X and YouTube where you will find photos from all over the world. Just search Chem trails. Jet Contrails are white frozen water vapour from jet fuel combustion and they don’t stay long after the jet passes. Chem-trails are different. They are a checker board pattern across the sky which do not follow regular flight paths - no idea where all those planes come from! I was on the window side of a flight crossing Utah and a 737 was flying parallel to us and it had massive, thick, dark coloured stuff forming two solid lines that stayed in the sky..did not dissolve like vapour does. Totally un-natural and un-nerving.
I’ve heard this too. Kind of messes with their big plans for solar.
insane people don't notice stuff like that. they're sly, not smart. there's a difference . besides, they can jet off to places left uncontrolled, and enjoy themselves in a nice seaside vaycay home. the perpetrators of this also believe they can stop and reverse the damage after they've eliminated the "trash"
Same in KS.
I live in South Texas and we don't get a lot of rain. But I've noticed that when the weather channel has a forecast for rain in the coming week,I can look up and see, every day, contrails, then comes the rain. I was worried about this, about how humans seem to be controlling the weather, is everything being controlled? Now I don't care. We just had tons of much needed rain. I can't stop it if that's what's causing it and so I've accepted it for now. On the other hand, there have been many times when rain has been forecast and nothing happened. So, honestly, I don't know. And I remind myself that all the people who think they are controlling everything are not God. They just screw up eventually; they think they have it all figured out, but they just make a mess because they're human. It's God's world.
We should not have any rain now. Florida in winter time is normally weeks of sun, yet every week there are two days of rain forecast. In come the contrails. The earth needs periods of natural sun and rain. Who is to say when rain is ‘much needed’? Is that notion provided by the powers that be via the media and then parroted around?
And, noticing lately that I don’t need sunglasses. We used to have 300 days of sunshine here. Tons of chemtrails now.

I'm in Nashport, in between Newark and Zanesville. I just looked up and yep, I see them here too 45 minutes away.
That's not good. Are they all over your skies in all directions, too, or do there seem to be more to the west of you (which would be Columbus). I'm curious because I can already hear people blaming the trails in the skies on Port Columbus.
Aren’t the meteorologists under a non disclosure?
I live 15 miles from wright pat. beautiful sunny morning, full of con trails. is now 3:07 pm, and just gray.
My coworker said they could be from Wright Pat, and I said come on, give me a break. They are all over the country. Yep, my skies in Cbus were pretty gray by about 3 p.m, too. Infuriating!
Follow New Hampshire, they have a bill in right now.

Moderna is targeting Megyn Kelly for disclosing how bad her 3rd covid shot injured her.
https://twitter.com/TheChiefNerd/status/1752667133157286165 55sec vid
Dangit I forgot to spell it 'Murderna'. I'm not going to edit it now. LOL
Reminds me of how I mean to type shots but I always type shits by accident. Maybe I won't edit myself anymore! 😁
I have corrected shits to shots sooooo many times! We should have started leaving it two years ago! 😁
love this! changes the whole sentence
"Many people got the shits. others refused the shits altogether. some who took the shits have died. the shits should be outlawed."
Hilarious to me
explains the usefulness of masking, cuts down on the smell
Actually, there really is a “smell.” See A Midwestern Doctor’s The Forgotten Side of Medicine regarding the odor of shedding.
I’m not the only one! And dics for docs, too.
🤣🤣🤣😇
It’s like when I type Biden but it comes out OByedumb…..
I feel like once Megyn Kelly commits to an issue, she goes "all in." See her change of heart on the whole trans thing. Happy to have her on board. She sounds downright resentful when talking about the shots (and she didn't have her kids get them).
Agree, nice to have them on board even if belatedly.
It is a bit unsettling that so many influential and powerful people couldn't see this stuff from the start and only realized it was a bad idea after problems started showing up. Anyone with a shred of common sense could tell that everyone pretending a man can turn into a woman wasn't going to end well. Better late than never though I guess.
I think those of us who have known old school transsexuals were slow or are still lost at sea with the trans issue not seeing that this is a completely completely different ball of wax. Old school transsexuals wanted to pass as opposite sex but did not believe they were the opposite sex, they paid for their own surgeries and made the decision as an adult after much deliberation. The new thing is grotesque medical and legal scandal opening doors for some truly terrifying concepts.
Great point. Thank you for mentioning that.
"Influential and powerful people" are not always the sharpest knife the drawer. We all know plenty of them......
The primary thing that Megyn Kelly is committed to is her own income.
I mean, sure, but she has made some very public statements and on the trans issue has really put herself out there. I see some issues VERY differently than she does (she is living in 2004 or 2008, politically), but I'm happy to have her more awake.
I can't return to the thread so I don't know who she is.
Oh, sorry. Megyn Kelly is the she :)
Now that I know who the she was, I don't remember why it was relevant.
I can't return to the thread so I don't know who she is.
Megyn Kelly, who I like and listen to regularly, still insists Biden won 2020. While she does change her mind on things, she’s still got a long way to go.
Agreed.
I’m glad famous people are continuing to talk about it!!!!
For sure. And she has seen the light. Alex Berenson and others have been helping her.
It’s terrible that she has to lose her sister AND get a disease for her to open her eyes. You would think after getting fired from Fox her eyes would have been opened wider.
She had mentioned that to partake in anything in NYC, proof of vax was required.
Too bad she didn't bail out as she had plenty of wealth. Unlike a lot of military and folks in rural areas who had no good alternative when faced with 'get jabbed or get fired/discharged and lose all medical and pensions'.
University of Pittsburgh still requiring covid shots and boosters.
What do you expect from a university who sewed dead/live baby scalps onto the backs of mice? "Research" funded by Fauci/NIH.
I’ve always been bothered less by true believers in the jab than those who knew something wasn’t quite right but got it to travel or go to concert etc. The people who where willing to lose livelihood helped turn thing around and others caved for so much less.
⬆️💯
Sadly, many millions of people were forced to make this decision to feed and house their families.
One of the darkest periods in American history.
Ditto for folks in Germany. Yet my good friend resisted and made it. Some creativity required at times.
I have no doubt. Job or jab.
I live in NYC. I simply didn’t “partake”. That said, I’m not high profile and on major invitation lists. 🤗
I don’t have any sympathy for this. Such foolishness! My MIL got it to go into LA! Smh!!!! I would live as a hermit if I had to. Who cares. When your life is ruined you will deeply regret doing it so you can partake( travel, play, school, 🙄)
She’s famous and rich. I can’t believe she could’nt have gotten a religious exemption.
I'm surprised she wasn't open minded enough to even consider if covid was a bioweapon...along with the shots.
From other things she's said, she's slow to go all in on anything she considers "conspiracy" - like that elections were stolen. I don't know if she doesn't go all in for business reasons, i.e., YouTube, doesn't want to be branded, or if she's just very cautious and, well, slow about some things. I like her, she's really smart, but a little slow on the uptake on this.
We'd be better off if more famous people had the courage to talk about why they didn't get the vaccines.
The only notable thing that Megyn Kelly has done, IMO, was display her astonishment while moderating a debate on a foreign stage when Putin told her in plain English, "Don't worry, be happy." The shot went from Putin to her with her mouth hanging open. It was the best part of a generally otherwise vanilla event.
lol. I didn’t see that. I’m not a fan of hers bc I’m too far down the rabbit hole 🤷🏻♀️
She dropped precipitously in my view when she adopted the vocabulary of a sailor after starting her own program. Those who rely on vulgarity don't deserve any respect from intelligent viewers.
A different generation.
Morality hasn't changed.
Just think of what a game changer it would be if Taylor Swift or Travis Kelce (Mr Pfizer) were to come down with a jab related injury or worse!
Not wishing anyone ill will, but that would go a long way to bring jab injury deniers to the light!
Le Bron James sure kept quiet about his son.
Yeah, he's part of the problem! But, he's a coward anyways! He doesn't want to risk the bad pr from mainstream media like Aaron Rodgers.
Rodgers and Djokovic are standing up for what's common sense medical advice!
And they're not worried about what mainstream media thinks or says about them!
But when it involves your own young son. Plus he has loads of money so no financial issue.
If it were a child of mine, it would give me more incentive to speak out about it!
And if I had his kind of money and his popularity, I would use it to make sure the these murderest, injury ridden drug companies paid for it!
I’m sure they were given a placebo🤬
Did they take the real jab?
Who knows?🤷
They should know better than to target those strong and brave enough to speak out. They’re just going to be stronger and braver when attacked. Morons! Go Megyn! 👏👏
One of our local (long-time) meterologists and his co-worker, a young news anchor, both refused the shots and lost their jobs.
Happily, the news anchor found a more hospitable station in town, and the meterologist is running for state rep.
One of our local meteorologists refused to go along with the climate change BS, and he is now a state senator in KS. Mike Thompson. And a local news guy who saw Covid as the last straw in the lefty march on his station quit and ran for Congress in MO's 4th District, Mark Alford. He ran a pretty vanilla campaign in a red district, I was skeptical, and couldn't vote for him anyway, but he's been surprisingly good, and supports Trump. So there are a few out there that stand up.
Where , if I may ask?
https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2021/09/20/michigan-meteorologist-karl-bohnak-wluc-vaccine-fired/5786724001/
and
https://www.dailypress.net/news/local-news/2021/09/tv6-loses-another-personality-to-vaccine-mandate/
And then there’s that self absorbed idiot, Kelce, pushing the jab during every single NFL game. What a fool!
Didn’t her sister die from the shot?
Her sister died from a heart attack @ 58 years of age. Megyn has said her sister was a recovering opioid addict via prescription drugs provided by her doctor several years ago for a painful health issue. Apparently, she had been clean for a year before she died. I don't recall Megyn ever disclosing her sister took the jabs or suggesting her sister's death was caused by the jabs but who knows. Either way, big pharma had a hand in her unfortunate demise.
She is already getting enough of what she deserves and if Moderna had any sense, they'd stop ripping off weeping scabs.
She had three shots? wow
Love Dr. McCullough and I couldn’t agree more! The jabs should be and I think will be a huge election point. I sure wish Trump would acknowledge the truth!
I agree they SHOULD be a major election issue, but I don't think they will be. It seems like everyone has gone silent on them. Yes, I still hear ads to get "up to date" on vaccines, but not nearly the full-court press like before. No one in my family or in my social circles talk about them at all whereas before they asked for updates on shot status.
Paxlovid is a common commercial I am seeing.
More expensive poison… 🤨💩
Yep, that's my fear, it will all get pushed under the rug and we will end up in a Groundhog Day scenario where we keep repeating the same bad policies. Drs are still on it, a friend just told me they still get asked about giving her kids the shots at their Dr visits.
I wish Dr. McCullough was clearer on the math. If 40% of people (or more) understand to oppose the jabs, and 60% of people vote, that doesn't mean that 2/3 of the voters oppose the jabs. Still, the data he presented be encouraging.
Exactly! You don’t know how much of the 40% falls into that 60% who vote! LOL
Did he really mean it that way? Almost has to be overlapping voters and non-voters. Any portion of those non-voters deciding to vote due to that issue, or normal voters letting that issue tip their vote a certain way, could have a huge effect on elections. And if RFK takes advantage, major party candidates may take notice.
I agree with you. But let's say 40% of 60%, that'd be 24%. A big number, but then people vote on other things besides jabs. Some are concerned about other issues, and many just vote for whoever they find likeable, or whoever their influencers recommend. Many suffer from TDS and will vote for whoever they think can vanquish Orange Man.
He's a doctor, not a mathematician, or...oops, he really should know math better than this. And now it looks like he's entering politics.....
I like citizens who enter politics to fix issues. Career politicians seem better suited for jails and asylums.
Those 40% are very upset and VERY LIKELY will be voting because of how strongly they feel. So his assessment is accurate.
Big pharma is a huge lobby!!!!!
And now the Covid jab is on the list of mandatory jabs when one applies for permanent residence in the USA or even applies for a J1 visa.
I was glad to see that Aaron Siri's firm has been busy with exemptions for people legally applying for residence in the U.S.: https://www.sirillp.com/immigration-attorneys/vaccine-exemptions-and-waivers/
Bigger than most of the lobbys (lobbies?) put together.
I have wondered whether Mt. Trump is simply biding his time (no pun intended) until the 'conventions' are in the rear-view. Then he can come out with a heavy-hitting anti-vax platform which will be fresh in the minds of voters in early Nov. Edit: Came in to change "Mt. to Mr.--but decided to leave well enough alone.
Yeah, but not likely after he’s touted the shots as “miracles” and “saving millions of lives” even recently. This one issue has made me think he’s one of them with the great rhetoric. Just playing his part.
Al, you are accurate and I appreciate some one else sees this too. I would assume since C&C readers tend to be more critically thinking, they ALL should be asking themselves this.
Thanks Amy--I hate to say it, and I hate to think it, but after almost 4 years of information, it seems unlikely to me that anyone can rise up in the ranks and gain the highest power in the land without the deep state on board. People need heroes--I get it. And many people have gotten angry at me and said, "if you're right, there's no hope!" I disagree but I see how devastating it would be for those to entertain the idea that Trump is part of the ruling class mafia. Again, I hate to say it, but all signs point that way.
It seems to be a matter of accepting how powerful the ruling class/bankster cartel is--how long they have been ruling the world and manipulating its citizens and how clever, strategic and well funded these people are.
It’s hard to make sense of it all though given all the grief they’ve given him and everything they’ve put him through. Is it all theater? Could be but it seems like a lot of trouble to go to and too many people involved to keep that quiet. It makes sense on some levels but doesn’t on others 😕
If you think about each of the "griefs" it doesn't seem that far-fetched to me. J6 was an intelligence operation, and all of these lawsuits would be easy to set up--you don't need too many people involved--the process takes care of itself. Isn't curious how he is overcoming all of these accusations though and mostly all before the election (that's fast for the judicial process)? Insurrection (set up to be overcome), documents at Mar-a-Lago, GA election fraud (oh, the drama there that obliterates the charges!). Is it possible all he has to do is play along?
I hear you. But what bothers me is also what is NOT happening. Real candidates are not given any press or GOP/DNC support--those entities were long-ago captured. No press for them, banned from Youtube, or shadowed on Twitter, or absent on Google. And yet, Trump has gotten tons of media attention DAILY since 2015---even these past 4 years when he was no longer president. Why would the press keep that memory alive?! Why not occasionally mention him as mere history? Why did CNN host him? The NYT and Atlantic publish anti-trump articles DAILY. It takes an enormous effort to keep inundating readers with Trump.
I think if one assumes that the people in power do not have that level of control over the dissemination of information, and\or that there is an "organic" aspect to one's rise to fame/power, then it's easy to think he got here all on his own and his magnetism is the only reason he is the main object of media. He took a $250m loan from Soros (so did his son), he hobnobbed with the Clintons for years, he was a democrat. He was part of that club and then just changed his mind? We're so used to watching movies, we believe this schlock.
I go back and forth too. But that annoying little vaccine issue just keeps getting to me. He knows damn well how bad they are, he knows it was a DOD op from the start, he knows it was an American virus through NIH/NIAID/UNC pretending to be released in China---and still calls it the China virus. I just smell a rat!
Trump was heavily influenced by Birx and Fauci, somewhat naively perhaps, but it was new frontier and I have to believe he was doing what he could. He needs to acknowledge the harm now, or he is complicit however. So much is now known. Some of us proclaimed from the start that you cannot know long-term effects without studying them in real-time, but 4 years later any logically thinking human should understand these shots cannot be mandatory ever again.
Our naive president. He must have also overlooked that this was a DOD operation from the beginning, forgot that he signed more executive orders that obliterated rights, forgot that it was Fauci himself in charge of the gain of function research through the NIH, NIAID, UNC whose scientists worked for US in Wuhan and that this was 100% an "American" virus.
But yes, even that tired old excuse doesn't play anymore. You are right that he cannot NOT know what has transpired now 4 years later. And still touting the Pfizer line.
How many children have been vaxxed because of Trump’s statements? We have kids dropping dead and suffering disabilities and Trump refuses to acknowledge that the jabs are dangerous. His statements influence people to get themselves and their children jabs. It’s unforgivable in my book. The lives of America’s children matter!
That's the thing. I don't care if someone could convince me his political strategy is brilliant-- because in the meantime more children are being killed by these shots (all of the "vaccines" in my opinion--we've been lied to for over a century). My kids are fully vaxxed but after all I've read in the past 4 years, I have regrettably come to believe that all "vaccines" are killing/disease agents and that's what keeps the cartel in business.
If this were a poker game, Trump's vaccine stance would be his "tell."
If you are against vaccines, you are out. Dead, censored, etc. Vaccines are the only issue--too much riding on it.
RFK is playing his role illustrate that what I just said is not true. Nothing will come of him. It's an intricate game, well-strategized and funded for the long term.
If the IMF likes you it’s no better than the WEF on your side. That doesn’t bode well for Argentina or the world. Possibly just another show and another actor like Zelensky, just with better acting chops.
There is no way the globalists are giving up on their plan to enslave everyone with worldwide socialism, a one world govt., depopulation, etc. Not a chance.
100%. To look at it with rise colored glasses is just plain stupid…or worse. How he could have written that opens up an entire can of distrusting worms.
Well it’s either he’s one of them or he was fooled by them, and if the latter, his ego will never allow him to admit it. He did say when he doesn’t know something-medicine and science for that bill-he looks to the experts. I think he may have underestimated the extent of the corruption and pure evil prevalent through the US and world institutions.
I’d like to see an apology tour, an I was wrong admission, but I keep going back to that original plan he had in 2016 to institute a vax safety committee with RFK Jr at the helm and then he’s elected, Pfizer donates to the inauguration events and that plan is nixed.
I’m on the fence, but leaning toward the worst option of the two possibilities.
Yes- and that particular alliance with RFK back in the day tells us he knows plenty about “vaccines” — more than your average anybody. My gut is screaming he’s bought and paid for by pharma. Is it possible pharma is simply just too big to fight? I think it is, at least for now.
I wonder how he will rectify 17 million CV vax deaths?
How is that possible when he still insists they are good and he did the right thing?
I am hoping he is smart enough to know the Pure Bloods that rejected The Shot don’t care who endorses forced medication- we will make up our own minds. BUT the growing number of sheeple who took the shots are still fragile and Trump wants to make sure THOSE people feel comfortable coming to his platform. Just my humble opinion.
He goes pretty far though, overselling its virtues and not even mentioning the pitfalls, much less the millions of lives killed. There would be a better way, don't you think, if he's just cunningly stringing everyone along?
My guess is that the shots are non-negotiable. You cannot go there--RFK is there to quell the masses and he'll never win. But even if he did, he's been a life-long liberal and will be as bad as Biden/Obama. He'll insist on new safety measures for vaccines and all will be right with the world.
If he says he was duped and relied on what was told to him they would go after and blame him for all the deaths. He’s in a catch 22. He would be involved in more lawsuits for manslaughter.
Yes, indeed, plus he is credited with OWS--as the originator of the life-saving vaccine. But this is more than just ego. This was part of the palybook. They needed Republicans and Democrats to take the vax--this was the only way. Have Trump deliver it to his people, then have Biden and his goons come in for the rest of them.
I think Mt. Trump is quite appropriate!
There will be space on Mount Rushmore for him in the future.
Trump has blood on his hands.
Hadn't even considered that---my fingers did the walking. Your brain did the talking.
I’m sure many of us are experiencing the surreal aspects of the covid op. The numbers don’t lie, the people, outside of the hard core marxists and those who are completely brain dead are not taking the shots. This is a community immune response to a very real disease threat, one which issues not from a tiny bug, but from politicians and commissars and on a level below what can be detected by public expression of outrage that it deserves. People understand that this is a whack a mole game and they will evade as much as possible and hope to somehow get through it, but it remains part of what can be termed the unspeakable-that ongoing horror that cannot be voiced. It may come out from the safety of the voting booth or that too will be suppressed
For more about the term unspeakable read the book “JFK and the unspeakable “
Craziest to me is this is an issue that Marxists should be on board with as they hate corporate corruption.
It think that is because they only pretend to hate it. If it serves their purpose they don’t care.
Yes, that issue along with calling out the lack and impossibility of a world-wide pandemic. We must ditch the Who.
I agree 200%, the WHO needs to be destroyed/desolved along with the United Nations .
The UN bldg demolished, the grounds turned into a park and all UN employees/workers with diplomatic immunity status returned to their country of origin
Yes, I find that disturbing. How many parents have or are getting their children vaxxed because Trump still endorses them and brags about how many millions of lives have been saved.
I was so glad he brought up Jamie Fox. Everyone loves him. Brings the harms out in the open. Could also have brought up Celine Dion but she’s not as universally loved (I for one don’t care for her music or style).
I agree. However, the real big question is how many people will not go R but will go for RFK bc they are dems who feel Med freedom most impt! This is what will determine the election. That and cheating.
I have a cousin in AZ who is very politically connected and reports that there are some amazing things happing in Phoenix as far as Kari Lake and Maricopa county.
Seems like a lot of good news!!!!
She's the real Governor. But as plan B she's positioning for Senator.
There's still the VP angle as well...
Yep. Lots of potential!
I know for a fact that Dick Morris thinks that Lake or Sarah Huckabe (sp?) Sander would be good choices.
He observes that both have been through the media wars and each had come through “smelling like a rose” (Morris’s description, not mine).
Who the heck is Dick Morris?
Dick Morris is a former liberal-progressive who famously consulted for (among other progressives) Bill and Hilary Clinton while they were in the White House. He helped them win the election that got them into the WH, too.
He began to see the light much as Naomi Wolf, a one-time Democrat strategist and Obama White House consultant, has been seeing it.
Have you covered the truckers going to the southern border for a peaceful protest? They’re there now. This story has had no legs at all and they didn’t raise a whole lot of money either. FINALLY someone in our country endeavored to do something about our predicament and there has been little support or funding for the protest. I guess we’d all rather sit in front of our computers and complain on Substack.
We’re screwed.
We went down there a few days ago and didn’t see anything. Even talked to some national guard guys. Just from what they said and have seen, we are deep shit! One of the guys that we talked to has been doing it for 25 years and he said just the past two years alone he’s never seen anything like it and we have let so many insurgents in and yes he use that word.
I think many people were worried about the protest being taken over by bad actors who are implanted like Jan 6. You can be sure people have been implanted into it to try to disrupt it and make it look violent. We need to do what we feel is right and not react out of fear. Fear is what the libs and Marxists want. It is a means to control us.
The government perpetrated Jan 6 to scare us into passivity. It appears to have worked. If inaction seems to be our only choice, then let’s just admit we are powerless to our situation and that we are walking toward the Great Reset endgame —perhaps unwillingly, but walking there nonetheless.
Totally agree!!
Infowars is doing a good job reporting about it. But, that is about the only one.
Many people were excited about this form of real action, but it got a big yawn from the independent media. I’m really confused about this and kind of frustrated quite frankly. We must support the brave people who step forward and try to DO something.
Florida sent state guard. Not national guard. So asshole can’t conscript them from Texas. Hmm.
Interesting!
Do you know anything about the Florida state guard. All I’ve heard about it is very negative.
I heard they are National Guard but a bill was passed to give them protection from being ‘Federalized’ but Biden, as he has threatened to do to the Texas NG.
I have 2 boys in the national guard and are actually stationed at Stark. I think the state guard and national guard are 2 separate groups.
Can you explain what that means?
The first commander committed suicide and the next one quit after one drill bc it was so messed up. We have 3 sons in the Florida national guard so we keep informed about what’s happened. They train at Stark and it hasn’t gone well.
They're scheduled to show up at THE BUSIEST BORDER CROSSING IN THE WORLD -- San Ysidro, the San Diego -Tijuana crossing -- on Feb 3. So, Saturday. I'm 20 minutes from there. I may go down . . .
Two of my (seven) sisters are en route as I type.
Love hearing this! God bless!
I’d be with them if I still lived in California.
I’m 3,000 miles away.
We are headed to San Diego right now. Tysvm for the info!! If u wanna meet up plz let me know.
So happy to hear this! God bless! Thanks for taking action. Action is an important facet of taking our country back.
I hope you do! I donated money to the truckers. They were expecting 77,000 truckers but with a lack of interest and money, I’m not sure what kind of turnout they’re having.
Where are people donating? Could be a multiplier maybe??

Thank you!!
Just listened to DarkHorse podcast "Trojan Migration?" where Bret Weinstein describes his trip to Panama seeing two different massive migrant encampments...one being mostly young men from China that was not open to questions...very alarming to say the least.
https://rumble.com/v4aiwyl-the-210th-evolutionary-lens-with-bret-weinstein-and-heather-heying.html
also available on spotify:
https://open.spotify.com/episode/6pNX4GfOSKQkAhzfXonzk6?si=1uZEQwthSkqY6m0iYUuZBA
Indeed, looks like military age men in that closed-door Chinese camp but here's another theory as Bret touched on. With China's One Child policy resulting in far too any men for the women available, add the current economic meltdown and an oppressive one party rule, those men might be mostly just economic and marriage opportunity migrants. Therefore, China's rulers HAPPY to make excess young males migrate as a social relief valve, and thrilled to drain their bank accounts in the process.
Migrants with cell phones and credit cards in a reckless Gold Rush willing to risk all liquidity and that of their family back home, too. Exactly like the 1849'ers from the USA and Europe, and many from China, too, who risked all to get to what the Chinese then called "Gold Mountain," San Francisco, the entrance to the California gold fields. After the gold rush in Australia, SF today in China is called "Old Gold Mountain."
This could all be shut down by demonetizing these migrants' and their family's payments to the criminals aiding their travel. Criminals because they all know not going through international border controls such as travel through the Darien Gap or paying someone to truck a suitcase across the US border while they go through a gap in the fence is criminal.
According to Yeonmi Park in her very good book "In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl's Journey to Freedom", one of the solutions to the lack of women in China is to buy North Korean brides, some willing, some not. Have no idea about the numbers and certainly can't imagine this would fulfill the need.
Tucker interviewed a guy the other night. Soooo there is some info out there.
Scant info out there. But thanks for pointing this out. I did see this on Tucker.
Two of my sisters are with the convoy.
I’m sick and can only be with them in spirit.
Feel better! Report back if you can. I’d love to hear how things are going down there.
Check out Takeourborderback.com about the three separate convoys. These are peaceful protests.
Americans are not going to get involved until TEOTWAKI happens. Wars and abject poverty are things that happen in other countries. Since 1865, America has been a safe haven, a land of relative plenty. Always has been, always will be. Like every country thrown into an unimaginable conflict, everything was normal the day before TSHTF. And then life changed forever. I don't see it happening any differently in the US. "How could this happen" the normies will cry?"
I hear you, and you may be right. My six times vaxxed sister-in-law just left after visiting and if she’s any indication of where the blind are in this process we’re in big trouble.
6 times?!!! 😱
Yes, I keep thinking she can’t possibly survive it, but she looks great.
We just buried another friend last weekend who was a another blue pilled believer… 😢
Met a young nurse 2 days ago that told me she thought she had a light stroke during her first shot. She told me she was a single mom and couldn’t lose this job… She told me she loaded up on life insurance… mind boggling 😢
Your friend has been lucky… not so much for so many… 😞🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I hate to say it but that’s exactly how I feel.
People understand that peaceful protests don’t accomplish anything other than open you up to spurious political prosecutions.
That’s a horribly ridiculous and defeatist thing to say.
No he has NOT covered this story
Lots are saying Don’t go, it’s a set up like Jan 6. I hope they are successful and stay safe! Facebook is hiding it & the farmers protest in France and Germany
The government perpetrated January 6th to scare us all from taking action. It worked! But where does this leave us?
I guess the theory is they can’t arrest us all 🤷🏻♀️
The IMF generally comes in and hollows out (even further) the middle class of countries.
Yes, IMF involvement is red flag here. Milei also turned down the invitation to join BRICS+. Looking more and more like he's a deep state/NWO asset. Not looking good for the Argentinian people.
No doubt the IMF loan offer was connected to his refusal to join BRICS+ and his decision to use the USD for their currency. He had originally decided to join BRICS+ then flipped on that at the same time deciding to use the USD. That sounds like some sort of backroom deal was made?
Yes he’s Argentina’s Trump- who may also be a deep state/NWO asset who simply says all the right things and keeps the fight/distraction going.
Jeff’s take is ridiculous IMO. The IMF giving him billions shows us that the IMF has come around? The good guys always win? That’s ridiculous. What REALLY bothers me is that I think Jeff knows better. The implications of that are depressing.
OTOH, as an economist and an anarcho-capitalist, Milei is well aware of the mechanizations of the NWO IMF. Given what he has done, I cannot say he is a NWO asset just based on the IMF loan. Milei is no dummy and he has demonstrated his commitment to his Ancap goals.
Why not! Do bankers every lend money without expecting 'a return on capital'? And I certainly cannot see it other than do Vonu and John Perkins.
Within the box factions matter. And factions do come in different flavors. Just like Chain Saw Milei ... the new flavor of the year and who known? Maybe for the rest of the century ... that is if it takes and sticks. But from the standpoint of the Invisible Hand directed by film production team of Apex Money, all the world is a stage. And the drama is marketing is sold as entertainment. And by the spectacle of entertainment, the masses are driven into oblivion uncomprehending. And that leads us straight back to the Confessions of an Economic Hit Man ... and a truly great and timeless read.
To answer your question: No, bankers NEVER lend money without expecting a return and in the case of the apex banking cartel of BIS, IMF and Federal Reserve (all serving the interests of the Rothchilds, Vatican and British Crown), their expected return is much more than interest.
Still I will watch to see if this will play out the way it always does or if Milei actually will bite the hand that tries to feed him. Somewhere, someday, someone is going to do something different. A lot of "some's" there...
The Real Money Complex at the very, very top has to always be working to settle conflict. There must be a continual resolve and resolution to keep an operation going and morphing for centuries. I try not to confuse control agency with implementation agency (front running institutions). And no, I don't see it all.
The best I can say, as to the overall, it has not of recent been old business as usual ever since maybe DJT as beta testing beginning in 2016, and Twitter X as to roll out implementation of the Next Big Thing ongoing.
The IMF has always done what John Perkins admitted to having done in Confessions of an Economic Hit Man.
The IMF looks like every other subversive force. Radicals don’t have an ideological agenda beyond disrupting the status quo, whatever it may be. Sometimes they seem to push the right direction, but only if it creates a profitable crisis.
Glad to see others are familiar with this book!
If it were required reading in public high schools, it would trash the MICIMATT complex.
Probably true, but we won’t know unless and until we find out what, if any, those strings are. Until then, we’re all just flapping our gums here.
Not really. The IMF has a long history of doing precisely that: hollowing out the middle class.
I’m hoping he is somehow able to use this as a stopgap and then at some point in the future gives the imf wef-ers the finger. I don’t have any idea how he could do this. His neighbor chile required brutality to implement imf “reforms “ that merely lock in gains for oligarchs and squash people who actually work and support the economy . The imf terms are typically akin to the economy suppressing covid lockdowns implemented through monetary policy , Argentina is in for some pain.
Two possibilities to think about:
The IMF may be looking at Milei and Argentina and realizing they cannot stop the reform Milei has initiated, decide they need to "join in" with a small $4.7B loan to keep their fingers in the Argentinian pie. If they can leverage this small loan into bigger loans then at some point they will have once again made Argentina captive to their money system slavery. Debt is always a form of slavery. (Our entire American society is now based on debt courtesy of the non-"Federal" Reserve Bank.)
In a separate thought voiced by our own Daverkb, when you step back and look at the whole picture, it looks like the Apex rulers have decided to reign things back in order to save their monetary system from complete collapse. Building on Dave's thought, by giving Argentina a small loan, they may be signaling to the rest of the banking world that the focus is now going to be on restoring a bit of stability. They cannot risk imploding their banking system and bringing down all the international debt they use to enslave the people of the world.
As Jeff wrote: "In a statement, the International Monetary Fund’s chief Kristalina Georgieva, if that’s her real name, praised Javier Milei's "bold actions to restore macroeconomic stability and... address long-standing impediments to growth." ...it signals official approval of Milei’s anti-socialist reforms"... ALTHOUGH I wouldn't go so far as to say they now think socialism is unaffordable...only the insanity of the USG O'Biden spending regime. Remember, the NWO did not anticipate the rise of an opposing force in the BRICS and they now face a competing money system based on actual assets (credit) rather than debt.
Now if they can only arrange a nuclear exchange to eliminate the BRICS system, they could finish the consolidation of their control.
Things are complex and simple all at the same time. The simple part is that Sham Fantasy Money is broken, and really since 2008/2009 ... and the USD Standard is in a heap of trouble. Somehow, the Whole Mirage has to be repackaged and re-sold. The complicated part is that in an era of failing credibility, the do-over has to have a serious infusion of credible buy-in. For example, a new high power replacement of dot money will have to have a credible feature, maybe a partial backing by gold. But it will be an advertising marketing trick. It will be call the old thing by a new name, tie a string to it and string it over a commodity like gold, and call it New Money You Can Believe IN with partial backing. And a little like that other catchy marketing slogan from the Obama years ... Change. But rest assured, you won't be able to redeem dots for real money of substance held in you hand. But you will have one great benefit. The financial institutions will be able to terminate your access with the flip of a switch ... and you will feel safe and like it! And it is all good to have an emotional buzz! Right!
Honestly. I think it's the Old Fool'em Strategy, a remake of Babylon. The Fool'em part is making it believable. But scratch the surface and Milei is a socialist. And it is Dial Back Socialism. And the same as here in the United States with the dial-back Pivot against Woke.
The secret to the "Dial Back" is they never dial all the way back to zero. And thus do they incrementally advance even when they appear in retreat and like compound interest, in 30 years they are rich.
Only with the actual historical destruction of the apex institutions and families AND their wealth who are behind this NWO will their plans ever be defeated. Until then, this war will continue. If Milei is not their puppet, then he prolly won't live long. We will see.
Good point!
Zero on the dial in the American context would at the very least have to be dial back to the old American Christian States with theonomic organic constitutions. DJT would be a retograde dial back to FDR Socialism before America quite lost everything. And this is the irony, that DJT is what every Domocrat would have been mid-twentieth century.
I appreciate your insights and anaylsis and am a bit surprised by your take on Melei.
What our your thoughts on why Milei would have pulled out of the BRICS and do an about-turn on his commitment to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement as his first order of business.
As a self-avowed anarcho-capitalist, Milei is going defy all usual stereo-types. He probably doesn't want to align with any major international block. As for the Paris accord, I don't have enough information to comment on that. It should be interesting to see what he actually does in the future. Maybe he wants to go there as he did at Davos and give them a piece of his mind.
Interesting take and seems similar to Doug Casey. The thought of Milei doing the same takedown at the Paris Accords fills me with great anticipation! Thanks for your thoughts.

International Man: Javier Milei—Argentina’s Anarcho-Capitalist President—went to Davos and appeared to ruffle some feathers.
When asked why he attended the WEF conference, he said: “To plant the ideas of freedom in a forum that is contaminated by the socialist Agenda 2030 that will only bring misery to the world.”
What do you make of Milei’s appearance at Davos?
Doug Casey: A lot of libertarians have been skeptical of Milei, since almost all politicians just say what they think the audience wants to hear. But I’ve been a believer since he identified as an AnCap, not just a conservative or somebody unhappy with certain aspects of the system. The fact that he openly identified as an anarcho-capitalist told me that he might indeed be the real deal.
The fact that he walked into the maw of the beast just after the Schwabenklaus identified libertarians as the problem (link) and gave a flawless speech calling out these people for who they are, took real moral courage. He’s not just talking the talk but walking the walk.
I urge everybody to both read and listen to his speech to see what I’m talking about (link). It’s by far the most important speech anyone has given so far this century. And it may mean Argentina will be the best place in the world to be for the years to come.
Right. Thanks for making that connection. I didn't see that.
What the Apex Money will never give us is money of substance. It's always dot money or pieces of paper with the only real change being the ink, a mirage of numbers.
Recently history certainly backs up that claim...
"Romantic vulnerability" indeed. When I started in the intelligence community, they made it sound like foreign intelligence services would be constantly throwing nubile young women at me in an attempt to compromise me. Sadly, no such luck. Not that I would have given up any information, of course. But I'm mildly insulted that they never even tried.
Briefer: "She'll go back to your hotel room and do everything you want, but the whole time, there's gonna be someone behind the mirror taking videos and photos of the two of you..."
Me: "Really? Do you think if I ask, they'll let me have copies?"
Ever notice how many of these O'Keefe patsies are effeminate homosexual men? It's way more that random chance would predict.
I think O'Keefe has hit on the perfect sting. He leverages the inherent, unbridled horniness of men (i.e. romantic vulnerability) along with the catty, demeaning gossipy side of women. These targets have the worst qualities of both sexes.
I was thinking the same. I've come to the conclusion that this government is run by gays and trans... How does God bless this country with a beast at the head.
Agree, God made men and women different, each with our own strengths and weaknesses. When men act as women (or visa versa) the weaknesses of both are magnified and the strengths diminished.
Turns out God actually knew what he was talking about when He told us we must do some things and not do others.
The O'keefe version of "the honeypot". Although he likely stops short of bedding his victims, lol.
I noticed this too but cannot fathom how daft these people are to keep falling for this. I wondered, if all of their info is scrubbed off the net the moment this sting drops, did they ever exist at all? Hopefully not actors. Ever the skeptic. 🧐
My guess is they have no idea who he is. You’d think by now the cat would be out of the bag, but no one likes to advertise their gullibility.
They’re young and smug, thinking “I would NEVER fall for that…I’m to smart and savvy (and probably sassy).” Look out below! (Can’t help but see Wily Coyote falling feet first off of a huge cliff holding a sign that says “uh-oh” as the Road Runner flies by. Beep beep!)
The jab issue will not be the most important issue this election, unfortunately. It will be the border or whatever new war they can cook up.
Ms Willis is still in office for the same reason Bob Peter’s is still in the WH, and Ray Epps, on dozens of pieces of video footage from J6 basically got a slap on the wrist while dozens of innocent J6 partakes are still in jail. They are telling us exactly.
🎶 It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine 🎵. Truly I tell you, we are spiritual beings having a human experience and this is not our home. Our time here is to grow in our faith and love for the Lord AND to be our brothers keeper. If we're doing that everyday, thanking Christ for his payment when we fall short,we have nothing to fear❤️
Keep the Faith 🙏 Hold the Line ✝️
Ps. The blood is critical. Live blood analysis is easy and knowing about a problem makes it a whole lot easier to mediate!
That is some beautiful well written truth. Thank you Tanya.
Mrs. D,
💌
Why do I continue to hear that song on the radio, day, after day, after day...?????
Does God want us ready?
Wouldn't His preference be that we are ready and well informed to walk our walk, do our part, live our part?
I think so❤️
No coincidences. God moves.
And 😆🎵 I'll keep humming along with you 🎶
What song?
R.E.M.'s song It's the End of the World As We Know It (And I feel Fine). Catchy tune for a weighty song.
REM?

They’re a band. Popular in the early 2000’s I think. Check utube for the song.
Willis will not resign because Ga taxpayers cover her legal fees while she is working. When she leaves she has to pay legal fees
LOL
When I used to believe the fairy tale that the government was there to protect us, I would have worried about this embarrassing demonstration of Hanlon’s razor stupidity in a federal *cybersecurity* professional. Now I see it as an opportunity for enterprising hackers like Texiera to expose evidence of the corruption the compromised colluders are too cowardly to leak.
O the alliteration thou employeth. 😉I extracteth another moment of joy in the midtht of conundrum thentral. Pardon my lithp. *edit: Probably offended someone. I happen to think lithps are thort of cute, in the right perthon.
*lol*, glad you appreciated it, HI :-) I failed to come up with an acceptable 'c' word (oh dear, that's not what I meant!) for "leak," but at least it ends in a hard 'c' sound :-)
Sometimes I just throw up my hands and repeat that 'Everything is a Rich Man's Trick' thing. And I tend to think that we are in a long, long boiling pot phase right now. And then someday will come somebody who nails up some kind of statement numbered statement on a church door and then the whole world changes. But only for a while.
I tend to think we have not arrived at critical mass yet. And then again in a fit of pessimism I at the same time fear that the only constant in the 'world equation' is the stupidity of the masses. And yet, we all long for sunshine. And so the world turns.
Dr. McCullough was a gift to us during the pandemic and remains so. Heed his words!
There was a pandemic?
Didn't you hear? Mortality rate of under 5% if you even think those numbers are accurate. (For the mathematically impaired that's a survival rate across all age groups of over 95%.). Better shut everything down! Forgive this morning's sarcasm but I am so sick of the evident decline of cognitive ability in this country. So grateful for the people here!
"Didn't you hear?" 😂😂😂
I keep hearing that word to describe the past going-on-four crime-ridden years. Even Jeff keeps saying it -- but geez Louise. Who ever thought there was...and now...who would keep saying there was??
Locked down the US because of 40 "cases".
I appreciate the professional hardship Dr McCoullough endured and I appreciate him still speaking up. But I wish he wouldn’t insist on being in a pis*ing match, so to speak, with Dr Malone. I wish Dr McC would insist ”his” people stay supportive of and united with other conscientious objectors (like Dr M) to global health dominance instead of fighting with them. “They” want us to fight internecine warfare and destroy ourselves from within. Let’s not comply with self destruction. :)
Well, Malone isn’t exactly friendly toward McCullough either.
And I agree - stop the fighting. We all need to pull together on the stuff we agree on.
Would Malone talk to McCollough? He drug the Breggins through the mud already.
It’s all about divide and conquer. Get people to fight among themselves and take each other down.
These doctors have all lost a lot to speak out, they need to be allies even if they don’t agree on everything.
Something is not right with Javier Milei - does not pass the smell test and never has. Now add his speech at WEF (!) and big funds from IMF and the smell gets worse. It LOOKS good, but too good. Time will show something is not right here. Remember, the IMF tends to use the loans to impose future financial hardships to service the interest of the loans, not to mention the principle. Now that we have “debt for conservation swaps” or “debt for climate swaps”, maybe this is a long-range move in that direction?
Read the great taking. It will probably cover how the imf made that deal. They will win regardless.
I can tell that you and most of the commenters (or Jeff, it seems) haven't actually read anything about the IMF deal or what led up to the three week old story Jeff mentioned today.
Basically, "key program targets were missed by large margins due to severe policy setbacks of the previous government."
The referenced program was a $44 million loan. The $4.7b is the potential available to Argentina based on what the IMF already sees from the new administration.
They don't have to take anything. They are still on the hook for the $44m.
Agreed, it
Just doesn’t smell right! Can’t he just take the money, let it collect the interest and when IMF asks for the strings attached, “no, we changed our minds” and give the money back, of course minus the interest!
Hey if anyone has time to be playing around with A.I. music generation, you really need to get back to work. Just saying. Anybody? 🤣
I highly appreciate anyone (Jeff) who can learn and keep up with the latest technology and trends, and keep us current, rather than be heads down. It makes all of us smarter and more current and helps us keep up and understand this crazy world. It takes 5 minutes and we all have 5 minutes at some point in our day.
