Here's an interesting take on all things Ronald Reagan, Reaganomics, the downfall of the middle class, the rise of the elites and Christian nationalism and how he paved the way for the likes of Donald Trump.

After the late '70s, Anita Bryant and the reprise of the same save the children mantra used earlier against dem colored folks except directed at the gays, I had pretty much had my fill of conservatives and Republicans and swore at the time if Reagan was elected, I was moving to Canada.

I didn't of course. In '81 I had a 7 year old and a mom that had just died the year before I was still processing and was more interested in living life at 100 MPH, doing drugs, drinking, bar life and getting laid and I had just bought a new motorcycle. (I didn't settle down and get married until '85)

Granted, this lady's perspective leans fairly left but I think it is still a good video with some valid points to consider.



Discuss.

Not related but she also has a pretty good video titled: "Why Are Conservatives So Obsessed With Trans Kids?" that's pretty spot on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6qUxa30SFA

What do we think of the ubiquitous Dr. Greer?

Just like with Lazar, I'm on the fence with Greer.  He's too prevalent.  He knows everybody who's anybody.  

I want to believe him.  He has a way of putting the puzzle pieces together in a way that makes perfect sense to me.  I've wondered how the government could keep such a secret for so long, but it makes sense when he speaks about everything being compartmentalized, just like Lazar did.  I would think "wow, these objects, like the tic tac, are baffling even to our fighter pilots." But with compartmentalization, a pilot wouldn't be read in to these programs, just like presidents aren't read in.

Also with free energy, how we've had the tech for a long time, but it's too disruptive to the petrodollar to introduce it.  I'm not a physicist, but it makes sense to me that energy exists everywhere.  In "empty" space, energy is all around you in particle form.  Every once in a while somebody comes up with an invention utilizing zero point energy, but it's shelved, bought out, or seized in a matter of national security.  Security to the petrodollar.  Greer claims the patent offices are controlled.

I'm also not a body-language expert, but he comes off as sort of world-weary, which to me, adds to his credibility.  I've seen him talk down on some of these others who claim they're after the truth.  I believe he said Tom Delonge and his To The Stars Academy are a product of shadow government manipulation.  So why is the government manipulating Tom, but not Greer?  How do we know Greer isn't the manipulator?

On the other hand, I've seen photos of events he's hosted where he claims he contacts ETs, and I'm pretty sure it was a picture of a goddamned moth.  So I don't know what to think of him.

He was an emergency doctor.  Had a sighting when he was young that fascinated him.  Had an uncle who worked for NASA if I recall correctly.  Then he becomes an advocate for government transparency in regards to UFOs.  It's a strange career trajectory, but no more strange in my opinion than former Navy SEALs becoming YouTubers.  Greer is either legit, or a very well-done government plant.

I've seen on two occasions things I can't explain, so I know there is something to all this.  We have Ben Rich, the leader of Skunk Works, saying the UFOs are alien AND man-made.  So either aliens are here or we've made incredible leaps in technology, or possibly both.  It feels like we're being prepped for something, and I can't decide if it's true disclosure, or the fake alien invasion to install a one-world government.  If these tic tacs are blowing the minds of fighter pilots, the average Joes around the world will eat it up that these are alien craft.  Throw some exotic weapons systems on them, stage some false flag attacks, and we're suddenly reminded of Reagan's words, of how soon we'd all forget our differences and UNITE against an "outside threat."

We are indeed in interesting times.

A very interesting story. Hell, I will be honest. When I was in the military and if we had found pallets of cash....

Well, you know.

Did Former U.S. Army Rangers Conspire to Steal $16 Billion Seized in Counter-Terrorist Raid in the Ivory Coast?


https://covertactionmagazine.com/2023/06...ory-coast/

Quote:It was during one of these operations in 2017 that Iztok and his team of operations officers entered a series of alleged terrorist safehouses in Africa in pursuit of terrorist suspects.  They found their men.  But they also found stash houses with pallets of American currency—notably one with $6 billion and another with $10 billion in $100 bills.

The source of the money is a mystery. It most likely belonged to the government of former Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi. It may have been the CIA’s money.  It could have been money hoarded by al-Qaeda.  Iztok ordered that the cash be secured in warehouses, and, because he is a patriot, he sought to return it to the U.S. Treasury.


According to the court papers, Sullivan expressed excitement about the project and said he would inquire at the Treasury Department about the modalities of transferring such a huge amount of money.  But a few months later, in a follow-up meeting, his excitement had vanished.  He said that he wanted nothing to do with the project and, without any further explanation, he voiced concern for the safety of his family if he remained involved.  He was out.

Later in the morning, a local police official put Iztok in a car and took him to the warehouse where the money was supposed to be.  The facility, however, contained only illegal drugs, diamonds, coffee and counterfeit cash.  The legitimate cash had already been removed—by whom is still not definitively known.

They then returned to the jail, where the “interrogation” began.  Iztok was asked repeatedly how he knew about the money.  He answered all questions truthfully, he says, but that did not stop police officers from stripping him naked, hanging him from his wrists, beating him severely, and breaking his wrists and fingers during a rough “interrogation session.”  

The march for digital control continues to be pushed by the UN to ensure we are all enslaved and rationed with a social credit score and denial of services if you are a "bad slave".

They don't even try to hide what they want to do to us any longer.


“A Global Digital Compact” – UN promoting censorship, social credit & much more

https://off-guardian.org/2023/06/20/a-gl...much-more/

Quote:Late last month the office of the United Nation’s Secretary General published a policy document on aims for the future of the internet.


A follow-up to the 2021 report [i]“Our Common Agenda”[/i], the new report’s title says it all really, [i]“A Global Digital Compact”[/i]. That’s the goal, international legislation that would seek to control and enforce the use of digital technology.
The proposed clauses promote everything you’d expect them to promote.

Digital identities linked with financial access:

Quote:Digital IDs linked with bank or mobile money accounts can improve the delivery of social protection coverage and serve to better reach eligible beneficiaries. Digital technologies may help to reduce leakage, errors and costs in the design of social protection programmes

Environmental or climate change-based social credit systems:

Quote:Sensors and monitors connected to the Internet of things, cloud-based data platforms, blockchain-enabled tracking systems and digital product passports unlock new capabilities for the measurement and tracking of environmental and social impacts across value chains.”

Public-Private Partnership:

Quote:Partnerships between States, private sector and civil society leverage the capacity of digital tools to provide solutions for development across the Sustainable Development Goals. Examples include the Digital Public Infrastructure Alliance, the Coalition for Digital Environmental Sustainability and public-private partnerships for disaster response.”

Countering online “harm”:

Quote:Disinformation, hate speech and malicious and criminal activity in cyberspace raise the risks and costs for everyone online […] we must strengthen accountability for harmful and malicious acts online.

Those are the obvious ones, there’s also more sneaky, insidious language regarding “equity” and “access”. The report is concerned there are many people in the world (mostly the developing world) who don’t have regular access to the Internet.

This concern would be more honestly expressed in the language of control – people who don’t consume digital media can’t be hypnotised, people who don’t communicate online can’t be censored, and people who don’t rely on digital banking can’t be controlled.

To sum up, the Digital Global Compact is a piece of globalist legislation serving the final aim of globalist policy: Control of all aspects of life, achieved by inserting a digital filter between people and reality.

Banking, communication, media consumption, shopping. Every interaction you have will be through a digital membrane which can both monitor your exchanges with the world and – if deemed necessary – deny you access to that world.

We all knew this was coming sooner or later to the "church of Rome". Appears it will be sooner now of course since we are approaching that time (you will know the season by the signs). 

How long before the rainbow progress flag flies over the Vatican? 

Vatican document highlights need for concrete steps for women, 'radical inclusion' of LGBTQ+

https://www.kimt.com/news/national/vatic...c8413.html

Quote:VATICAN CITY (AP) — An unprecedented global canvassing of Catholics has called for the church to take concrete steps to promote women to decision-making roles, for a “radical inclusion” of the LGBTQ+ community and for new accountability measures to check how bishops exercise authority.

The document also asked what concrete steps the church can take to better welcome LGBTQ+ people and others who have felt marginalized and unrecognized by the church so that they don’t feel judged

Perhaps most significantly, the document used the terminology “LGBTQ+ persons” rather than the Vatican’s traditional “persons with homosexual tendencies,” suggesting a level of acceptance that Francis ushered in a decade ago with his famous “Who am I to judge” comment.

I've missed my fellow rogues!  

Thanks to @"NightskyeB4Dawn"#10 for taking it upon yourself to message BIAD for me.  I PM'd NightSkye at the other site asking if she got in, and I said I couldn't, and didn't know if they didn't like me, or if I was having a serious stupid moment.  Possibly both 

To explain my absence, you guys did the site change, and I went into house buyer's hell.  Trying to buy a house with a small mortgage amount (my wife doesn't work, but takes care of the kids and household) and an FHA loan, has been a nightmare, to say the least.

It looks like we finally got one though, and I can finally kiss America's armpit, Philly, goodbye.  We found a nice little farmhouse-style abode in a very small town and I'm extremely happy.  I was starting to get claustrophobic and angry in Philly.  People were rude and stupid beyond words.

I'm still a bit bummed.  We got outbid $4k on a BEAUTIFUL Victorian up the road from our pending house.  I feel like I'm cheating on my house, by still looking at pictures of that Victorian, with its original woodwork 

Anyway, it's good to be back again among my fellow rogues!

So this morning, a neighbor of mine stops by for a cup of coffee. He works for the Army as a civilian. They let him work from home 4 days a week. He's got a fancy setup on his phone that lets him be very mobile. Me and this fella go way back and it's nice having a friend as solid as he is.

This morning I can see he's got something bubbling inside. He shows me a .pdf of his agency's version of an Early Bird. What it says in there is that the Army is 25% below strength and that there's a pretty strong likelihood of it getting worse before it gets better. Our thoughts on this go right away to the 75% the Army does have: a few new guys who haven't figured life out yet and an entrenched DEI core who I don't think have the guts to face an armed and determined adversary ... let alone the capabilities of winning.

Now right here I want to point out another article that was in that .pdf. It pointed out that GEN Milley is going to retire with a security detail to protect him, much like a retired POTUS enjoys the company of the Secret Service. (I wonder if they have to protect him if he's in jail ?). The title of the story had something to do with this security detail 'trawling social media' for mean tweets about these chunts (the 'h' is silent in that word, BTW).

Most folks who understand business know the costs of your employees are usually equal to about one-half the total cost of doing business. It can be different, but the cost of paying someone to work for you is significant. Now if the Army isn't paying 25% of its personnel costs, but it's projecting that cost, and the gooberment is collecting taxes from us to pay for them ... do you wonder why all these generals need an armed security detail around them? Can you imagine what that armed security detail must cost? Remember ... if you see one guy on shift, there are four other guys waiting to take shifts behind him. Yes!! That many!! If it's a four-man detail, there are 20 guys on the payroll just to protect the asshole who said he'd tip-off China before we attacked them.


Anyway, I stewed on that all morning and figured I'd share. If it gets under your skin, do me a favor and don't copy/paste this in the note to your Congress Critter. The main article came out of the Washington Examiner: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/resto...eritocracy

Quote:Learn about the Schumann Resonances: Wild Free Organic Schumann Resonances Complete Guide - https://wildfreeorganic.com/schumann-...

Quote:Schumann Resonance

At any given moment about 2,000 thunderstorms roll over Earth, producing some 50 flashes of lightning every second. Each lightning burst creates electromagnetic waves that begin to circle around Earth captured between Earth's surface and a boundary about 60 miles up. Some of the waves - if they have just the right wavelength - combine, increasing in strength, to create a repeating atmospheric heartbeat known as Schumann resonance. This resonance provides a useful tool to analyze Earth's weather, its electric environment, and to even help determine what types of atoms and molecules exist in Earth's atmosphere.

The waves created by lightning do not look like the up and down waves of the ocean, but they still oscillate with regions of greater energy and lesser energy. These waves remain trapped inside an atmospheric ceiling created by the lower edge of the "ionosphere" - a part of the atmosphere filled with charged particles, which begins about 60 miles up into the sky. In this case, the sweet spot for resonance requires the wave to be as long (or twice, three times as long, etc) as the circumference of Earth. This is an extremely low frequency wave that can be as low as 8 Hertz (Hz) - some one hundred thousand times lower than the lowest frequency radio waves used to send signals to your AM/FM radio. As this wave flows around Earth, it hits itself again at the perfect spot such that the crests and troughs are aligned. Voila, waves acting in resonance with each other to pump up the original signal.

While they'd been predicted in 1952, Schumann resonances were first measured reliably in the early 1960s. Since then, scientists have discovered that variations in the resonances correspond to changes in the seasons, solar activity, activity in Earth's magnetic environment, in water aerosols in the atmosphere, and other Earth-bound phenomena.

Quote:The Schumann Resonance is Earth's resonant vibrational frequency. The Earth has an electromagnetic field surrounding and protecting all living things with a natural frequency pulsation of 7.83 hertz, along with progressively weaker harmonics at around 14.3, 20.8, 27.3, and 33.8 Hz. These oscillations are called the Schumann resonances.

Quote:ARE THE GLOVES COMING OFF? PART ONE

June 19, 2023 / Joseph P. Farrell

During last Thursday's News and Views from the Nefarium, I read and reviewed a lengthy op-ed piece by Professor Karaganov that had appeared on RT's website. In the article, Professor Karaganov argued that Russia had to be willing to use nuclear weapons against the West, because the Ukrainian conflict is, for Russia, "existential," i.e., effecting its very national, cultural, economic, social, and political existence. In advocating this view, Professor Karaganov also indicated that, before such use against specified targets of value in the west, that Russia should issue warnings to the civilian populations near those targets before striking them.

As I interpreted this article, this was really the Russian government speaking through the mouthpiece of one of its academic advisors, to the Western leadership, and the message , in between all the radioactively glowing lines of nuclear escalation prose, was clear: the western political elite itself - not the people of the West - are now fair game for whatever measures Russia may think is the best method to pursue them and end them. As I've been warning ever since the "color revolution" and "Maidan coup" days, covert operations are a game that two or more can play, and thus far, it has been largely the West playing these games in the Ukraine. More recently, those games were expanded to bomb attacks on Alexandra Duginova, and even more recently than that, to drone attacks on the Kremlin itself and on dachas and apartments in the fashionable west side of Moscow, where even Mr. Putin is rumored to have a home.  It requires little thought to understand that such drone attacks would have had to have been carried out by teams or people on the ground, and that means covert warfare is being attempted against the Russians and their leadership class.

So my reading of the RT nuclear escalation article by Karaganov is relatively simple: if Russia is openly discussing the use of nuclear weapons, then this also means all other operations, including covert operations such as assassinations, drone strikes, asymmetrical warfare and so on, are on the table.

Today there is a bit of corroborative evidence of this interpretation. Consider firstly this article shared by V.T. (with our thanks):

Senior Russian Official: Putin Has Green Light To Sever Undersea Commo Cables
[/url]
Note that the Deputy Chairman of Russia's security council, former Prime Minister and President Dmitri Medvedev, has himself come out with a clear statement that since the West has attacked the Nordstream pipeline, Russia is under no moral nor legal restraint from attacking similar infrastructure assets:

Quote:Following reports attributing the September destruction of Russia's Nord Stream gas pipelines to the Ukrainian or US government, the deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council has declared that President Vladimir Putin should feel free to sever undersea communication cables of the country's "enemies." 

"If we proceed from the proven complicity of Western countries in blowing up the Nord Streams, then we have no constraints - even moral - left to prevent us from destroying the ocean floor cable communications of our enemies," [url=https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russias-medvedev-says-moscow-now-has-free-hand-destroy-enemies-undersea-2023-06-14/]said Dmitry Medvedev on Telegram. Medvedev was Russia's president from 2008 to 2012 and is a close ally of Putin.

Notably, this view that the covert/asymmetrical warfare gloves may be coming off are echoed by western experts:

Quote:Last month, NATO intelligence chief David Cattler warned of a rising risk of just such a move. "There are heightened concerns that Russia may target undersea cables and other critical infrastructure in an effort to disrupt Western life, to gain leverage against those nations that are providing security to Ukraine," he told reporters. Naturally, the NATO intel officer's list of potential motivations omitted retaliation-in-kind in the wake of the severing of the Nord Stream pipelines.

"The Russians are more active than we have seen them in years in this domain," Cattler told reporters, noting a higher pace of Russian patrols all across the Atlantic and in the Baltic and North seas. "Russia is actively mapping allied critical infrastructure both on land and on the seabed."

The oceans are a target-rich environment. More than 400 undersea cables carry more than 95% of international internet traffic. "Altogether, they carry an estimated 10 trillion U.S. dollars worth of financial transactions every day, so these cables really are an economic linchpin," said Cattler.

Regular readers of this website will recall that in the wake of the coordinated attack on a California electrical substation at the southern tip of Silicon Valley some years ago, and then yet another series of coordinated attacks on internet cables in San Francisco and Arizona some time later, as well as my blogs about internet hacking of major banks and corporations, that I argued these attacks were types of reconnaissance in depth, being coordinated at a high and professional level, and probably either by state actors or by very powerful independent non-territorial actors. Now, finally, after some years and more provocations against Russia, others in the West's leadership are saying the same thing.

Consider also the following article shared by T.M.:

Sweeping global cyberattack strikes U.S. federal agencies

Notice that the dateline on this article is the same day that I recorded my News and Views reviewing Professor Kaganarov's article on

nuclear escalation: June 15, 2023.  We'll return to this important point in a moment, but for now, note the following:

Quote:U.S. federal agencies are among the latest casualties of an extensive global cyberattack that exploits a flaw in commonly utilized software.

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has been providing support to an undisclosed number of federal agencies experiencing intrusions through their MOVEit applications, a software impacted by this attack, CNN reported.

CISA is actively seeking to comprehend the extent of the damage and expedite remediation, according to Eric Goldstein, the agency's executive assistant director for cybersecurity.

Uncertainty looms over whether the Russian-speaking ransomware group, which has previously claimed responsibility for multiple victims of the ongoing hacking spree, orchestrated this breach. CISA has not revealed the identity of the attackers or the exact number of federal agencies affected.

This incident adds to an alarming surge of cyberattacks over the past fortnight that has affected state governments, as well as leading U.S. universities. These increasing instances of cybercrimes heighten pressure on federal officials who have committed to curtailing the wave of ransomware attacks crippling schools, hospitals, and local governments nationwide.

According to Google-owned cybersecurity firm Mandiant, the attacks appeared to be orchestrated by state-sponsored Chinese hackers who exploited a security loophole in the widely used email security app, Barracuda Networks’ Email Security Gateway.

While widespread, these attacks interestingly enough appear to be concentrated against American governmental and elite structures; they do not appear to be concerned with small businesses nor their websites.

And this intriguing factoid returns me once again to the article of Professor Kaganarov that was the focus of last Thursday's News and Views.  There were two very intriguing take-aways from his article as far as I was concerned, and these two articles seem to buttress my conclusions that the article was sending a message, and that the message was that the gloves are going to come off. The first take-away was that Professor Kaganarov explicitly mentioned that there were about two dozen discrete steps in escalation prior to a full nuclear response from Russia. I submit that with these two articles about direct attacks on western internet and other infrastructure cabling, inclusive of electronic financial clearing (how's that Central Bank Digital Currency idea looking now?) and actual cyber-hacking attacks, that we are indeed looking at two of the rungs on that ladder of escalation. If the US can "try and convict" people and sentence them to "sudden death by drone" for being international terrorists, then one may reasonably expect this action might comprise the next rung on Professor Karaganov's 'ladder of escalation", as Russia tries and convicts specific Western leaders of acts of international terrorism, and sentences them to "sudden death by drone," people like George Soros, for example, against whom Russia has already taken out an arrest warrant for his alleged role in the 2014 Maidan coup in the Ukraine.

And that brings us to the second take-away  from Professor Karaganov's article, and that was the strange statement of his that, prior to any Russian nuclear attack on vital Western targets, it should issue warnings to people near those targets to move away from the area: "Attention neighbors and employees of the Soros interests; you might want to consider distancing yourself..." What Karaganov was really saying, it appeared to me, was that Russia has no quarrel with the average population of the West, many of whom are just as disenchanted with their political class as are the Russian leaders. He was signaling, as clearly as possible, that Russia intended to start targeting the western leadership, and the centers of power and infrastructure that sustains it.  If western sponsored teams can drop drones on the Kremlin or on apartments in western Moscow, then don't be surprised - he seems to be saying - if a drone or two, or three, or however many are needed to get the job done, start crashing over the homes of Victoria Nuland or Chancellor Scholz.

In short, putting all these articles together, it seems that we're looking at a formal declaration of the factional infighting/Mafia wars that are now going to become, sadly, a common feature of geopolitical life.

Of one thing we may be certain, and that is that the Bai Den Dzho family is entirely safe, because the Russians will not attack the assets of their Chinese ally...
See you on the flip side...

Language is ever changing.

This reminded me of my old English Literature class when I had to recite the, "Jabberwocky".
