They're just making statements about comparing what's here to that of their own countries.
.....and I've heard many comment on how they'd been lied to about America.

It's not just food, but they were comparing sizes of stores, drinks and everything else.

America has it's problems and f'ed up shit, no doubt.
.....but compared to many many other places, it's still better.
 
Oh look! Another Qincidence... way back in 2017 no less!

 


Imagine how frantic they're gonna be to get THIS lid back on that Pandora's Box once Pulte drops it.

1. Seth Rich took the DNC emails on a thumb drive.
2. Seth Rich then gave the emals to Julian Assange at WikiLeaks
3. Seth Rich was then killed in a targeted assassination operation by MS-13.
4. Two MS-13 cartel members were then found dead in a car in South Carolina.
5. To cover up and lay down a false flag trail as to how the DNC emails came to Assange and WikiLeaks, the Government Gangsters entered into a criminal conspiracy to creat a FAKE REPORT with help of Crowdstrike.
6. The purpose of Crowdstrike creating a fake report that claimed 'Russian hackers' stole the emails remotely over the internet was to steer public attention away from the Seth Rich murder and how WikiLeaks got the emails.
7. This false flag report has been amazingly successful with the American public - to this point.
8. But it is starting to look like the Crowdstrike report is about to run out of road, and be exposed for what it always was.

If you think the emails you've already seen from the DNC 'hack' are bad, wait until you see the emails they were sending to each other on private servers, using fake names and fake email addresses.

Where they're planning coups, strategizing rigged elections and - yes, absolutely - planning assassinations.

In the end, you WILL agree with Trump having some of these people shot.
 
Yah.

Where, when, are the arrests?

Trump is covering for his old friends in the party he was with for decades.
 

BURIED: Obama's $850M "Library" Hides the Files on the Coup Against Trump​

Gavin Newsom’s new software tax goes way beyond corporate softwares, California Democrats are going to tax everything

They expect to make over $2 billion per year from this new tax, “They now define pre-written software as everything from Microsoft Office, Gmail accounts, Android operating systems — it has a computer, it has pre-written software. California is now going to tax that. Wow”

I put together a list to give you an idea of how far this goes

• Microsoft Office / 365 subscriptions
• Gmail / Google Workspace
• Slack
• Workday
• QuickBooks / Intuit products
• Adobe Creative Cloud / Acrobat
• Android operating system licenses (in applicable contexts)
• Cloud-based CRM/ERP systems
• Accounting/financial software (SaaS versions)
• Project management tools (e.g., Asana, Monday. com)
• Antivirus/security software (digital downloads/subscriptions)
• Productivity suites (e.g., Zoom, Teams)
• Database software (pre-written)
• Graphic design/photo editing tools (cloud)
• Operating system access/subscriptions (where pre-written)
• Enterprise software platforms
• HR/payroll SaaS tools
• Marketing automation software
• Collaboration/communication apps
• Many mobile/desktop apps sold digitally

So basically everything

Imagine you were a Government Gangster in the Executive Branch, or a corrupt governor or mayor of a large urban city...

and you spent DECADES helping to build a MASSIVE Hidden World of fraud and money laundering.

Imagine how you felt SAFE doing that, because your fellow GOVERNMENT GANGSTERS had control at ALL LEVELS: federal, state, city/county.

THERE WAS NOTHING WORRY ABOUT. LIFE WAS GOOD. GOOD? HELL, IT WAS F**KING **AWESOME**.

Imagine your corruption has grown to the point you are now running criminal enterprises that steal BILLIONS of dollars a year.

But you're still SAFE. You're safe, see, because you OWN all the law enforcement and intelligence agencies at every level. Federal, state, city/county.

It is literally IMPOSSIBLE for you to be exposed and prosecuted because you HAVE CONTROL.

Now, imagine THIS:

Imagine watching with mounting HORROR and DREAD, as you and your fellow Government Gangsters...LOSE YOUR CONTROL of the BIGGEST most POWERFUL end of your fraud/money laundering pipeline.

Imagine that, despite all your frantic efforts, you FAIL to stop a certain golden-haired son-of-a-bitch from coming back to the White House and LAUNCHING A SUCCESSFUL HOSTILE TAKEOVER of the Executive Branch.

All of a sudden...your FEDERAL GOVERNMENT GANGSTER friends are....GONE. They're GONE. All your FBI, DOJ, State Dept. frens, they're suddenly MIA. They're not THERE any more. And most of the money that was being funneled to you down that federal pipeline so you could STEAL and LAUNDER it is now being...CUT OFF. And you don't have ACCESS TO IT any longer.

BUT THAT'S SUDDENLY BECOME THE **LEAST** OF YOUR WORRIES.

Getting any NEW federal money to steal is now the least of your worries because you're watching that new team running those federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies clearly signaling they are TRACKING THE MONEY now, and they are figuring out what's been going on.

Not only are you not getting any of those federal billions to steal any longer, you've now got federal bloodhounds on your trail, woofing and barking as they run all the audits at THEIR END - the end you LOST CONTROL OF - and now they're showing up and asking you ALL KINDS OF REALLY AWKWARD QUESTIONS that you were NEVER supposed to be asked, because you don't have any good answers to them.

You're not SAFE. You're just not SAFE any longer.

And that's a beautiful thing....
 
Just happened upon this X account... interesting



They told you it was a conspiracy theory. Now it's DECLASSIFIED.

**June 18, 2026.** Tulsi Gabbard's LAST DAY as Director of National Intelligence. She walked into the SCIF at 6:00 AM. By 9:47 AM she had declassified **everything.**

**120 biological weapons laboratories. 30+ countries. Funded by YOUR tax dollars.**

Anthrax. Ebola. SARS. MERS. Plague. Weaponized bird flu. Chimeric coronaviruses designed to jump species.

They weren't "studying" these pathogens. They were BUILDING them.

Here's what the declassified files contain that NO news outlet will print:

**PROJECT CHIMERA** — a classified sub-program inside EcoHealth Alliance running since **2014.** 17 gain-of-function experiments on bat coronaviruses. Not in Wuhan. In **6 separate labs simultaneously.** Ukraine. Georgia. Kazakhstan. Kenya. Thailand. Vietnam.

The goal was never "pandemic preparedness."

The goal was **POPULATION CONTROL CAPABILITY.**

Fauci knew. He didn't just fund Wuhan. He funded the ENTIRE NETWORK. $3.7 billion across 12 years. Hidden inside 847 sub-grants that were NEVER reported to Congress.

Biden's pardon? **WORTHLESS.**

A federal prosecutor confirmed this week: the pardon covers FEDERAL crimes only. **State-level charges are OPEN.** And the evidence now points to violations in **Maryland, Virginia, and New York** — where the funding was routed through university shell accounts.

But here's what they're TRULY terrified of:

**Gabbard didn't just release documents. She released the KILL LIST.**

A classified annex — **ANNEX 7-C** — contains the names of **43 U.S. government officials** who authorized gain-of-function research KNOWING it violated the 2014 moratorium.

Rand Paul has it. He said it publicly: **"Lab by lab. Pathogen by pathogen."**

That's not an investigation. That's a PROSECUTION ROADMAP.

The 2014 moratorium was LIFTED in 2017. But the research never stopped between 2014-2017. It was moved OFFSHORE to avoid oversight. That's not a policy disagreement. That's a **FEDERAL CONSPIRACY.**

COVID didn't leak. It was DEPLOYED. From Lab 12 in Wuhan — one node in a 120-lab network that YOUR government built, funded, and HID from you for 12 years.

**7 million dead worldwide.** And the men responsible are still walking free.

Not for long.

CHIMERA-PROJECT-0614
ANNEX-7C-43NAMES
BIOLAB-NETWORK-120

The truth didn't leak. It was DECLASSIFIED. And now there is no pardon big enough to cover what comes next.

I hope it is more than just those States, as no one in gov in those States will try to prosecute Fauci. They love Fauci and will cover for him.
 

Kevin Warsh Just Killed the Rule That Made Americans Suffer​

Susan Kokinda argues that new Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh’s inaugural press conference signaled a break with the Phillips Curve “cruel choice” doctrine, insisting strong growth, low prices, and high employment are compatible through productivity-led expansion. She highlights Warsh’s rejection of forward guidance and his call for markets to focus on incoming data from the real economy rather than Fed “prophecy.” Kokinda connects this shift to Trump Administration efforts to “outflank the money masters” by expanding directed credit through institutions like the Export-Import Bank, the Development Finance Corporation, and others to finance reindustrialization, machine tools, and advanced manufacturing. She concludes that the deeper driver of non-inflationary growth is human creativity—scientific discovery and innovation—framed as the American System’s alternative to the British Liberal financial model.

doing better



Immodest White women are too braindead to see it:

Your tiny bikinis at the beach, butt-crack leggings at the gym, and sports bras in the grocery store only exist because Christianity built a high-trust society that tames men and shields sluts from consequences.

Try that shit in a Muslim country, Africa, Hindu, or any Third World shithole, you’d be harassed, beaten, or worse within minutes.

Oh wait, you voted in tandem to IMPORT those very same people.

You mock the very faith and men protecting your degeneracy while sawing off the branch you sit on.

Peak entitled, suicidal stupidity.

He doesn't mention the young people, both sexes, who came to Dubai to take jobs, and what was taken was their passports.

They wind up held as virtual prisoners, for terms not set by or told to them. That the story has gotten out is of course proof that people do leave...but JUST...LEAVING a job as a foreigner taking work, becomes life-and-death.

And life was in a prisonlike dormitory and duty station. Often involving duties not told to the job seeker - menial work.

As said in the post below this one, Dubai is what comes of LOW-trust society with a moneyed class.

Or, Trump cultism.

Look...he's taken the mask off. Now we see the puppet strings...the tech boys are using him like a masturbatory toy.

Trump is not the answer. He's now part of the problem.
 


Read this article. DEI has only one purpose, and it has nothing to do with social justice or equity.

Every person carries a moral frame that precedes any training module: conscience, faith, community. Romans 2:15: the law written on the heart. DEI exists to displace it.

The endpoint is moral authority reassignment. Away from God, family, country, conscience. Toward the NGO-Administrative Complex. That's what the training was always for: consultation transfer.

The military was a top target because it had to be.

Actually, only you 'see' his puppet strings, probably because of TDS?

History will prove him correct.

I see a bigger picture.

I'm reading William McKinley: "Principles must always lead" and it's a reflection on exactly what Trump is doing.

The next book in the queue How the British Invented Communism (And Blamed It on the Jews)

Which I suspect will reveal how British has controlled nations by way of war for hundreds of years while hiding in plain sight. Who would EVER suspect the 'motherland'?? This is what Iran is all about.

No one is asking 'Why Iran?' Their only cocksure answer is "It's the Jews!" It's all I've heard since this began, but what if 'the Jews' really isn't the reason? What if that's all a psyop from MI6? Remember the Steele dossier? Five eyes? The Balfour Declaration? There is more going on than what is portrayed by the MSM and posts on X.

If you've followed history and I think you have, you'll easily put the pieces together, but first you have to remove the mote from thine eye!

Matthew 7:3–5 (New International Version):

“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.”

Military Depoliticization, Hegseth and DEI​

As I read and hear the usual cavalcade of woke, retired Democrat generals and admirals like McRaven, McCaffrey, Franken, et al. falsely claiming that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is “politicizing” the senior ranks of the U.S. military, inside my head I am screaming in rage at the impunity with which these scoundrels spread this pernicious and wholly inaccurate lie. Hegseth is doing EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE as he depoliticizes our military’s ranks by eradicating the very most political doctrine to ever infect the U.S. military since the Civil War: so-called “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion,” or “DEI.”

DEI is an expression of Marxism by way of the Frankfurt School. Instead of building Marxist systems based on economic class, it builds systems based on grievance classes. Known also as “critical theory,” DEI espouses the concept that there is no such thing as objective truth, and that all truth is instead subjective, and that such truth is subjectively decided by whomever is in power at the moment.

This philosophy stands in stark contrast to the Constitution, which stands on the shoulders of natural law—the idea that profound truth is objective, ordained by God, and that all men and women are created equal, with certain inalienable rights.

DEI instead claims that there is an inherent imbalance in society driven by race, ethnicity, religion, sex and sexual preference. Since “truth” is what you make of it via power, DEI uses force and power to strip individuals of autonomy and individuality in favor of their skin color or what is between their legs. DEI is Marxism and it is the ultimate expression of bigotry in modern society.

(And, OBTW, given the manner in which DEI seeks to destroy the principles underpinning the Constitution, it effectively sits in defiance of the sacred U.S. service member oath to "support and defend the Constitution.")

The U.S. military long had forms of DEI in its promotion systems, with promotion board results constantly re-worked to reflect the “correct” racial and gender balances. However, with the advent of DEI as a more formal, society-altering structure, under the Obama and Biden Administrations the wholly political DEI doctrine was massively forced on the military like a dog shoved into a car on its way to the veterinarian’s office for neutering.

White soldiers were told they were inherently evil based solely on their skin color. Combat arms professions were open to women who, on a per capita basis, were manifestly physically unqualified to perform required duties. Pressure mounted for eighteen year-old females in the barracks to be forced to live with penis-equipped men play-acting as woman. “Pride” celebrations were mandatory. Racist DEI books became mandatory professional reading for officers and senior NCOs. The USAF decided skin color was the basis for being an Air Force officer.

It went so far that the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley, said before Congress: “I want to understand white rage. And I’m white. And I want to understand it.” In doing so he racially slandered every white troop under his command (yes, I know CJCS is not a command position, but you get my drift), and the Left and the other woke generals rejoiced.

Where we once only saw red, white and blue and the color of our uniforms, suddenly the only color we were allowed to see was the color of human skin.

In the field and afloat, white, male commanders learned to be very circumspect in disciplining wayward black, female or gay troops, because it was just too easy to be labeled a “racist” or a “misogynist” or a “homophobe" in career-ending fashion.

Good order and discipline broke down.

Combat effectiveness declined as a result.

All thanks to politics—the politics of DEI.

And the retired admirals and generals you hear moaning today to Goebbelsesque propaganda rags like The Atlantic? Not only did they not object, they embraced it because that’s how these WHOLLY POLITICAL officers were able to advance. Now that SecWar Hegseth is purging our hallowed military halls of the diseased, racist, misandrist, bigoted, hatemongering, Christophobic, intolerant, diversity-destroying, inequitable, exclusive, POLITICAL doctrines of DEI, these political animals are OUTRAGED. They see their Brutalist, Marxist spiritual edifice in tatters, and they don't much like it, so they lie and say it's all "political."

DEI is the worst thing that happened to the U.S. military in any of our lifetimes. It was the ultimate expression of a political acid test shoved down the throats of everyone serving in a U.S. uniform. It was Marxism on a massive scale, specifically designed to polarize the ranks and make our military less combat effective.

It was and is an abomination.

And Pete Hegseth has unraveled this monster in a mere two years. We are rebuilding our military on top of the ruins of the failed DEI experiment.

In all of U.S. history, no one has done more to DEPOLITICIZE the U.S. military than Pete Hegseth.

So when you see the legacy media and the usual generals and admirals who would not take Douglas MacArthur’s advice to just “fade away” screeching that Hegseth is “politicizing” the military, know that they are angry only because he is doing exactly the opposite. The Marxists are losing, and they will not go down without a fight.

But losing they are, and so long as the 2026 and 2028 elections stay the course, they have already lost.

Explained.

Well, let's parse this.

If you'll recall, I was not one of the frothing brain-stem Anti-Trumpers. I SUPPORTED what was pledged. You know...end the Ukraine war, tariff the slave-labor Globalist nation-camps; remove the illegal invaders. Cut spending.

How much of that did we get, now? I'll give you a minute.

Here's what we got: DATA CENTERS...EVERYWHERE, destroying water systems, sewerage systems, groundwater tables, real-estate values. AND dumping an impossible burden on the power grid, now working at nearly 100-percent of capacity.

We got the GENIUS act, giving us PRIVATIZED CBDCs.

We got MOAR WAR.

I'm not opposed to Trump, just as I'm not a slavish fanboi.

Trump is a cutout prop. He's not calling the shots - his new "friends" the tech-fascists (literally) are.

(Remember, Fascism is a melding of corporate interests and government power. As opposed to socialism, which is state takeover of industry and corporate organizations.)

THAT is who was ordering Trump to launch war. Probably they told him a few things about Kennedy's untimely demise; and since Trump's probably still raw on his ear, he perceived.

Blaming it all on **THE BRITISH** is as intellectually insulting as blaming it all on the Jooz. Tom Luongo is, or was, entertaining; but he's fixated on that, and I think it's a small sliver of the real picture.

Yeah, the London Banksters are not nice guys. But the UK has next to now power, and it's in the writhes of self-poisoning from P@ka invaders themselves. DAVOS, and Louse Schlob, have MUCH moar control and involvement, by my observation.

It's Globalism that is killing us; and it is Trump that turned his back on MAGA and went with the Tech Tyrants. Who, in case you haven't noticed, are guardedly supportive of Globalism. With the Tech Bro's-versus-Davos, the argument is no longer about freedom...it's about, which one of us gets to control everything.

And I'm not bewitched by the Pied Piper. Trump did a U-turn, and I'm NOT following him. Because he's not leading; he's being pulled like a parade float.

No power? How much power does one need to create havoc? East India Company used opium. China's selling fentanyl. Iran was control of oil. The Shah wanted to better his nation using nuclear power... Britain would lose control over oil. He had to go. That was 50+ years ago. I always wondered what that was all about and Kokinda made the argument. Makes sense to me.

Not relying on Tom Luongo, but Susan Kokinda and the Lyndon LaRouche org. He was prosecuted and called a 'conspiracist' which tells me he was onto something.

As for Bibi, I still haven't seen him 'alive' on air with someone like Trump since his house blew up. That they attempted to represent him with two Ai videos tells a story. Until something proves otherwise, I think he's dead.

I'm open to a different opinion, but so far all I've seen/heard is the same old tropes. Kokinda has the best explanation so far.

"The BRITISH" isn't the people of Britain, but the City of London via Lloyd's of London. We saw how quickly Trump took the insuring of ships away from them? That was no accident.

I still think there is a pact between Putin, Xi, Rocketman Kim, and Trump. The removal of the deep state pedo satanists is to everyones benefit. Their control of the world via WEF, BIS, WHO and 'other' NGO's is coming to an end. We just have to be patient. JMO

edit to add I'm a doubter of the 'official' record of history.

You need considerable power to be able to start with those programs. The East India Company didn't just self-organize; India was CONQUERED. That we don't KNOW of the losses of English boys in their cheap uniforms, speaks moar of the cant of recorded history (written by the victors, always) than of reality.

The social programs were just mop-up. "Normalization." The military had been defeated but the populace was still hostile, or not subservient. So, break their will - starvation, or brutality (camps and mass executions) or introduce drugs.

China's doing it to us, after we GAVE them economic power by foolishly opening our markets to their prison-colony industries. WE financed it; the megalomaniac leaders of China have decided they're going to use the opportunity to become, again, the Middle Kingdom.

That was our own undoing.

Iran's power is limited, and again, our own shortsightedness. Right from the 1950s, we should have been asking, What happens if our access is cut off, somehow? In this situation, Iran's power was great, but limited and circumstantial. Iran doesn't legally control the Strait of Hormuz. It happened across this power, from the sale of oil, from the development of their oil fields by the Seven Sisters (American companies).

Circumstances do happen that can give, briefly or temporarily, great power to otherwise-insignificant state actors.

As to the UK: First, yes, I understand the City of London is not Metro London. For the discussion that doesn't matter. The City of London doesn't have an army or a missile silo. It doesn't even have devoted proteges salted in Western governments, the way Davos has.

The City has allies, and it controls Lloyd's; but otherwise its only power is its ability to raise capital for OTHER actors who want to...act out.

And the City is OF COURSE dependent on the UK, and will be affected, maybe destroyed, by the UK's incipient collapse. Probably what will happen is, Lloyds will move HQ to Bern or Zurich, along with a few banks' offices. Move a few key personnel, a couple of hard-drives with ledgers on it...that's all it would take. Convert the transactions to euros (for a few years until THAT collapses).

But that's not power. Those are the levers of power - that is not power.

Trump looking to destroy Lloyds? I'm not seeing it. I'm seeing him looking to blow up and seize "dark fleet" Russian-friendly ships that are BYPASSING Lloyds, getting their own insurance elsewhere. By the Russian federation directly, maybe? That's the best kind of protection, the guarantee of a sovereign against liability.

Susan Kokinda? Only heard her once. I was not impressed - she seemed too eager to "interpret" along the lines of Q and such. I'm so over that.

I watched Lyndon LaRouche when he was alive...he was slimier than Slick Willie, and that's saying something. The man was a megalomaniac with a 100-grit personality...which is why we dodged THAT bullet. I don't know what his organization is up to now...just as I'm not interested in various toxic legacy establishments.

Am I being unfair? Maybe. There is so much noise, I have to make judgments quickly on who's worthwhile to pay attention to. Frequently I'm wrong, but I can go back with time. One can change his mind, and I sure have.
