I saw this movie when it was first released... I had forgotten how brutal the first 20 minutes of the movie was.

Quote:From the Nexus Magazine Archives, here's a special preview of David Paulides’ Missing 411 lecture. Yosemite National Park stands out as the number one cluster for missing people, with thousands unaccounted for. In his lecture, David Paulides sheds light on several perplexing missing persons cases.

Quote:The term “conspiracy theory” has been a popular and effective slur against anyone skeptical of official narratives for a long time. The main reason it has been effective is it was always used against people with implausible theories. While the official narrative may not hold up, the alternatives ranged from unlikely to absurd. We have now reached a point where the poles have reversed. The “conspiracy theories” are often far more plausible and sober minded than official narratives.

Yesterday, Biden announced he was not going to run. He released a letter on Twitter, now stupidly called X and a supporting tweet. Others chimed in to say that he had a long think about things while recovering from Covid and decided that it was time to retire and pass the torch to his most trusted understudy, Kamala Harris. Regime media then set off memorializing the great man and his bold decision, thus setting the stage for the Kamala Harris campaign.

The problem is none of this actually happened. The letter Biden supposedly wrote was not written by him, but by some guy named Steve. Reportedly he worked with Biden in the middle of the night to craft the letter. Then he told the family that Joe had decided to call it quits. Then a chubby girl in the White House was given the task of posting a scan of the letter on Twitter. The letter is not on the official White House letterhead nor is it on the campaign letterhead. Just plain paper.

Joe Biden has not made a public appearance in many days and is not scheduled to show up anywhere at the moment. A sitting president choosing not to run for re-election is highly unusual. For the president who makes this decision, or any politician for that matter, it is the biggest event of his career. The first sentence in Biden’s obituary will now include his decision not to run for re-election. That requires more than a tweet from a chubby intern and a letter written by your lawyer.

Adding to the official version is the fact that his campaign chair was on television Sunday morning demanding the party fall in line behind Biden. His top people were running around Washington whipping support among donors and important party officials on the basis that Biden was the nominee. Once news hit the internet, many of these people told the press that they had no idea this was in the works and only heard the news from their interns who are on social media.

In other words, nothing about the official narrative rings true. In fact, it is so implausible that in a different time it would have been one of the conspiracies floating around in response to a much more plausible official narrative. This is the sort of thing Alex Jones says on his show. The mystery guy named Steve Ricchetti, by the way, is a long-time fixer and bag man for the Democratic Party. He is a boring version of The Smoking Man from the old conspiracy series The X Files.

The trope from gangster movies is that when the mafia decides to whack a guy, they find someone the victim trusts to do the deed. Steve Ricchetti has been around Washington for almost as long as Biden and he has been friends with Biden for decades. He has been in the White House with a minor title, but he is one of the family’s closest advisers and he is also keeps an eye on them for the regime. No doubt he was tasked with delivering the bad news to the family.

It is unlikely that there was a scene at the family home where Steve Ricchetti presented the already written letter to Biden and said, “I either get your signature or your brains on this letter” but this decision was obviously not a voluntary. The fact that Biden is unable to speak publicly about it suggest he is in worse shape than we are being told, which is probably why regime flunkies from the Republican Party are now demanding he resign from office, or they invoke the 25th amendment.

Given that Biden has not been in charge of things in any meaningful sense since he was installed, having him serve out his time in a coma or worse is not troubling to the people running things. It may be a problem for them if Harris is installed, as it is known that the Biden staff despises Harris and her people. In other words, the soft coup may be a modified limited hangout to buy some time. The people running the White House agreed to this, but not to Harris becoming president.

Alternatively, the people who engineered this soft coup did not think too much about how it looks as they just wanted Biden out of the race. They had Biden endorse Harris, but they can deal with that later. They now have a month to figure out how to find someone who is plausible enough as a candidate so that when the rigging machine kicks in on election night, the results are plausible enough to accept. Maybe they simply have not thought this far at all.

That is the other thing about our conspiratorial age. Not only are the official narratives more ridiculous than the conspiracy theories, but the people engineering the official narratives are thumbless screw-ups. Even the guys lining their clothes with aluminum foil would have cooked up a better story than the official narrative of how Biden decided to quit the race. The official narratives are not just implausible, but they are also stupid which makes the conspiracy itself stupid.

Of course, what all this points to is more ham-fisted shenanigans as the regime plotters try to sell Harris as a plausible alternative to Trump or find a suitable replacement if she flops this week. In other words, we will get a firehose of nonsense and lies from the regime, which will turn the conspiracy theory machine up to eleven. We have reached the point where only a fool accepts the official truth, which opens the door for everyone with a clever imagination to conjure alternatives.

was reading a thread on the other site, there seems to be a question / questions if slo joe actually wrote and signed the the letter.
and seeing how he hasn't been seen in public since going to his home in Delaware to recover from covid. 
some questions are,
 
who signed it if wasn't him?, 
has a coup just occurred?
if a coup did occur, who was leading it?
does the DNC know more than their letting on?
will hunter still get his pardon?
is slo joe dead?
if he is dead, was it from complications due to being old and covid or stress over being found out that the SS was told to stand down on his orders, during a planned assassination attempt on trump?

i'm sure many more will come up. i got to tell ya not since WaterGate  there hasn't been anything as crazy as the past 8 years in this country, or this past election cycle.

Quote:On Monday, Joe Biden officially dropped out of the 2024 presidential race and endorsed Kamala Harris.

Biden’s sudden decision to drop out of the race did not come through a press conference or an official White House press release but rather from a post on X from Biden’s X account that contained a letter without an official presidential seal.

Biden’s campaign staffers were completely blindsided by Joe Biden’s announcement to drop out of the 2024 race.
‘None of us understand what’s happening,” a staffer told Politico. “We’re all finding out by tweet.”

Shortly after Biden’s announcement letter was released, several journalists noticed Biden’s signature in his announcement letter did not match Biden’s official signature.

Redacted is not a site I trust with honest reporting however somethings do have a little truth to them. Hard to figure what is true and what isn't.

Quote:We are witnessing a tipping point moment for The United States of America. President Biden stepping down from the 2024 race, a possible Hillary Clinton replacement? And a massive collapse of America's infrastructure will be used to control all of us. The CrowdStrike failure is just the beginning. Get ready for what's coming.

This movie had some good moments and a few that were more super hero than real war stuff. The hero finds some gold and tries to take the nuggets and cash them in. Unfortunately the Nazis want the gold for themselves. No telling how long it will stay up on youtube so if interested watch now.

At least this is indoors... His stamina is impressive even without the trauma of being shot at.

It is a long article and very disturbing for those who believe in human rights. I am kinda like Mao in one respect as rights with regards human history seem to be gained/granted by pointy weapons or out of the barrel of a gum..

Quote:
Dark Anniversary Offers Hope
On this day 25 years ago, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) launched the brutal persecution of Falun Gong, a peaceful spiritual discipline that includes meditative exercises and moral guidance centered on the principles of truth, compassion, and tolerance.

With millions illegally detained, hundreds of thousands imprisoned, and more 5,000 documented deaths, the CCP's campaign to eradicate Falun Gong continues to this day. The Chinese regime has been credibly accused of killing practitioners to harvest their organs. Meanwhile, the CCP's repression has extended beyond its own borders, with instances of a sabotage, violence, and intimidation documented across several continents.

But there is a bright side to the sobering anniversary. Falun Gong practitioners around the world have persisted amid the repression and use large-scale global events on July 20 to expose the persecution and the CCP's lies.

I became an avid reader in my teens. It was my only means for mental escape, because TV was not a thing back then in my community.

I had just entered into my teens when I read 1984. It stuck with me like white on rice.

Amazingly, it opened my eyes and made me realize how powerful words are, and how they could be weaponized.

When I was a teen I did not think I would not see 1984.  Never did I ever think I would live it.

True or not many interesting thoughts about D.C. an the political war machine along with the warrior's competitive edge.
