Battling through Nazi-controlled bunkers, castles, and diverse landscapes, the Hobo Guy uncovers hidden alien secrets and bizarre, powerful abilities on his quest to retrieve his companion. 

There is a full-blown radiological contamination incident in Indonesia apparently caused by scrap metal smelting that volatilized cesium-137 from a radiation source that should not have been there, contaminating shipments of frozen shrimp and cloves.

Zika: Brazil/Ukraine - Microcephaly - but was it Cesium-137?


Elevated congenital anomaly rates and incorporated cesium-137 in the Polissia region of Ukraine


On September 18, 1987, cesium-137 is removed from an abandoned cancer-therapy machine in Brazil. Hundreds of people were eventually poisoned by radiation from the substance, highlighting the danger that even relatively small amounts of radiation can pose.

Starting around May 2015 to 2016 there was a massive rash of reported Microcephaly newborn cases in Brazil, but blamed on the Zika virus. Remember?

According to newspapers.com::
2015: 319 total uses of "zika" (majority are as a surname)
2016: 45,112 total uses of "zika"

NY Times went ballistic covering this story as did Dr. Robert Malone.

In 2016, Dr. Malone started a new company: Atheric Pharmaceutical, LLC. A biopharmaceutical company focused on the rapid development and commercialization of repurposed drugs as Countermeasures to prevent and treat Zika and other Orthoflavivirus diseases.

Ken Budd spent years searching for his brother Robert, a Marine who was killed in Guadalcanal during WWII. A month after Ken’s death in 2021, Robert’s remains were found — and now he’s finally coming home to rest beside his brother. However, this story has an interesting twist as you'll soon learn...



This is the best story you will read today!...

Quote:(Tribune News Service) — Kathy Kinane of Camillus said her dad, Ken Budd, and her uncle, Robert Joseph Budd, had a “wonderfully close” brotherly connection.

Though he was ten years younger, Ken idolized his older brother.

“My uncle would take him places and cover for him,” Kinane remembered. “They were always pals.”

World War II was the only force that could have separated them.

But not even that, nor Robert’s death in the Pacific Theater in 1942, could break their brotherly bonds.

Kinane tells a story from 1987 when Robert visited Ken in a dream.

“Hi,” he told Ken. “Got to go now. But I’ll get back to you on September 26.”

Ken did not think anything of the dream, nor the oddly specific date.

Later that year, he was leading a fishing tour on the Oswego River when the water level was suddenly lowered by Niagara Mohawk after someone had a medical emergency upstream. When the water was allowed to rise, Ken’s boat was caught in a whirlpool and capsized.

“Budd suffered a fractured vertebrae, cuts, bruises, and trauma, according to legal documents,” the Herald American reported on Jan. 24, 1988.

Three times Ken tried moving while lying on the bottom of the river but could not move.

Suddenly, there was “a commanding voice.”

“Put your arms out,” it said. “Try one more time.”

Ken rose to the surface of the river and grabbed hold of another boat. The date was September 26.

“I get goose bumps thinking about it,” Kinane said.

The brothers were inseparable, even in death.

By 1987, Ken had already made two trips to Guadalcanal, the site of the fearsome battle where his brother lost his life on August 27, 1942, to find Robert’s remains.

Now, after years of toil, this war hero from Syracuse N.Y., is finally coming home to be buried beside his brother and buddy.

On January 9, 1942, Syracuse experienced its largest single day of Marine recruitment since war was declared following Pearl Harbor.

Robert, 20, of Nedrow, N.Y., was among the 45 men sworn in that day.

He had attended Onondaga Academy and was a steelworker at Globe Forge Incorporated. His father, Seeley, worked for the Western Union office inside the Herald-Journal newspaper.

Budd was assigned to Charlie Company, First Battalion, 5th Marines as an automatic rifleman. Newspaper reports described him as a sharpshooter and “an expert with an automatic rifle and machine gun.”

On April 13, 1942, the Herald-Journal reported that Budd returned to the Marines at North River, North Carolina after “a short leave passed at the home of his parents.”

It was probably the last time the brothers saw each other.

Four months later, on August 7, U.S. Marines began “Operation Watchtower,” the first American offensive of the war, by landing on Guadalcanal, one of the Solomon Islands.

Budd’s 5th Marines landed 20 days later along the northern coast. The fighting was intense.

“We all jumped for cover, but several of the men were hit,” said Captain William Hawkins. “You couldn’t see the (Japanese), so we began firing in the direction from which their fire had come.”

With his best friend in the service by his side, Private Thomas Phillips, Budd tried to get into a good position to fire.

Budd was shot in the chest and fell to the ground. Phillips tried to help but he too was shot through the body. They died together.

The next morning, the friends were buried side by side in a coconut grove. A burial party noted a broken-down fence as a nearby landmark and made sure that both were buried with dog tags. However, neither grave was located by post-war search parties.

News of his death arrived at his parents’ doorstep a month later. Budd’s death notice in the Herald-Journal said that “information as to where he met his death could not be disclosed at this time.”

“I can still hear my mother’s screams,” brother Ken wrote in a letter to the newspaper in 1991.

An editorial on Sept. 25, 1942 said the following about Private Robert Budd:

“We know how poignant is the grief of the parents at this hour. But they have the right to cherish a deep and everlasting pride in the character of their son and the brave, fine record he made. At the same time, we wish to emphasize that there was a glory in this young man’s devotion and sacrifice which shall shine through the years, warming the hearts of those who grieve today.”

In a letter to the editor, Seeley Budd wrote this about his son:

“Our love of Bob was unbounded and our pride in the knowledge that he went out fighting in defense of those he loved is just as great. We offer this thought as a source of some consolation to others whose loved ones have passed on down the same bright trail to rest.”

On Memorial Day weekend 1946, Elmwood Presbyterian dedicated blue spruce trees in memory of the 11 of the 278 service members from the congregation who had died during World War II.

Robert was among them.

For decades, it was the only memorial to him locally.

“Uncle Bob was not just a black-and-white photo growing up,” Kathy Kinane remembered. “He was a huge part of the family.”

Her father Ken would not let his brother be forgotten.

“We always knew him,” she said. “We thought, ‘What an awesome uncle he would have been.’”

Ken Budd followed in his brother’s footsteps and joined the Marines during the Korean War.

“He never saw a battle,” Kinane said, “and he was angry about that.”

After being honorably discharged, he got married and had four children and settled in Syracuse’s Valley section. He retired as a District Chief with the Syracuse Fire Department. He later became a charter boat captain on Lake Ontario and Oswego and Salmon Rivers.

“My father was a remarkable guy,” Kinane said. “He was smart. And an expert on anything he put his mind to.”

Quite often he thought about his older brother and how to bring him home.

“It became dad’s life mission,” Kinane said.

Ken Budd started researching his brother’s unit and movements at Guadalcanal. He got Robert’s records from the National Personnel Record Center and visited the National Museum of the Marine Corps. He tried tracking down the comrades in his brother’s unit.

Ken made “hundreds and hundreds of phone calls, letters and personal visits with ex- Marines and others who might possibly help him,” a 1989 Post-Standard article said.

Divine guidance once again played a role.

Ken was visited by Robert in a dream.

“Get a hold of Charlie Wolff,” Ken was told. Then he was given an address and phone number.

Ghosts are not always perfect. The phone number and address were wrong. But Charlie Wolff was Robert’s squad leader, still living in Virginia.

With information provided by Wolff, Ken was able to retrace his brother’s final steps at Guadalcanal in 1985. However, he could not find his burial spot.

Ken asked a local priest if he could have a plaque dedicated to his brother at a church which faced towards the direction where Robert had fallen.

A year later, in 1986, he returned with the plaque which read:

“Resting in peace on these sacred grounds are Robert J. Budd and Thomas Phillips, American Marines, who died valiantly for their country. The Budd Family.”

Ken returned to the site in 1989, again in 1993, and for the last time in 2008.

“He became an expert,” Kinane said of her dad. “He studied aerial maps and made friends.”

His brother’s former Japanese adversaries even helped in the search.

But he never found Robert.

Ken Budd’s health began declining. He wanted to return to Guadalcanal one last time, but his family stopped him.

“I promise you,” his daughter promised him. “If they find him, we will get him home.”

Ken Budd died on Feb. 22, 2021.

Incredibly, almost beautifully, one month later to the day, a construction crew laying water pipes outside The Ofis restaurant at Guadalcanal requested an explosive ordnance expert to their work site after human remains and American military equipment were found.

Half a world away, Kinane was left a message on her answering machine.

Robert was found.

“I was freaking out, crying,” she said. “I told my brothers. I told my kids…”

In 2022, Robert and Tommy Phillips were pulled from their graves and an entire process involving anthropologists, scientists, and morticians started. His remains, including his dog tags, a bit of his helmet and some buttons, were brought to Pearl Harbor for identification.

Ken Budd had hoped that his brother would be buried at Arlington National Cemetery, possibly alongside Phillips.

His children, though, had different ideas.

Robert and Ken, the kid brother who went to such extraordinary lengths to bring him home, should be reunited at Nedrow’s Valley Cemetery.

Home, finally together.

“That was more important,” Kinane thought.

On Monday, October 6, Robert returns to New York State.

His remains are due to land at Rochester and will then be given a Marine escort back to Syracuse, returning to his hometown after 83 years away.

There will be a memorial service at Buranich Funeral Home, 5431 West Genesee Street, Camillus, at 11 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 10.

He will be buried with full military honors at Valley Cemetery, 2500 Valley Drive, Nedrow.

“Dad, he’s home,” Kinane said. “We did it! Robert’s finally home!”

Quote:CAN WE REALLY AFFORD THOSE DATA CENTERS?

October 1, 2025 / Joseph P. Farrell

You may have noticed something lately. Or rather, you may have noticed the distinct lack of something lately, namely, the lack of screaming (and now completely irrelevant) Swedish girls bellering and hollering about climate change. You may also have noticed the distinct lack of media attention to sky-rocketing electric bills and energy costs, particularly in connection to those big A.I. data centers that are opening in various places around the USSA. But if you have noticed the lack of people noticing the lack of notice of these sky-rocketing energy costs (sorry folks, but the tangled diction is necessary to mimic the complete collapse of rationality in the USSA and to mirror adequately its confusion of mind), then the following article noticed and shared by V.T. is for you:

Stargate: OpenAI, Oracle, And Nvidia Announce Creation Of 5 New Datacenters As Meta Builds One The Size Of Manhattan, While Energy Bills Skyrocket

The article is helpful in that it lays out the origins of this mess, but toward the end, it also lays out what the agenda is, and in no uncertain terms:

Quote:But Stargate’s expansion is certain to draw criticism on multiple fronts. In Abilene and other communities hosting mega AI data centers, residents and activists worry about the trade-offs: billions in tax abatements, the risk of gas-fired generation worsening local air quality, and the likelihood that permanent jobs will number far fewer than the headlines suggest. National energy analysts, meanwhile, warn that multi-gigawatt campuses could strain fragile power grids and lock in huge new demands for water and fossil fuels at a time when utilities are already struggling to keep up with AI’s growth.

For example, the planned Stargate site in Dona Ana County, New Mexico has garnered mixed reactions, with opponents raising concerns about water usage and pollution, arguing these issues outweigh the economic benefits. According to a county presentation, the project will bring 800 permanent jobs and 2,500 construction jobs over three years.

This issue, coupled with continually rising energy bills, was covered by The WinePress earlier this year. With the expansion of more datacenters and battery plants, this problem will surely exist.

OpenAI, Oracle, Softbank and Nvidia’s ventures are not the only firms building datacenters. Fortune noted:

The buildout attests to the towering expectations surrounding AI, as tech companies like OpenAI, Alphabet, Microsoft, and Meta race to put in place the infrastructure necessary to power their latest large language models. In July, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the company would spend hundreds of billions of dollars building a network of data centers with names like Prometheus and Hyperion to create “superintelligence.”

In July, Meta announced the creation of the Prometheus datacenter in Louisiana, which will be the size of Manhattan. (Boldface emphasis added)

And what's the human cost of all this "development" and "progress"?

Quote:Who cares if the water is contaminated and the water tables are drained? These are poor people problems. But just wait, I’m sure we’ll be directed to buy the MAHA-approved patriot water with no microplastics in it (because Bobby and Oz told me it’s safe). Who cares if this pushes the grid to the breaking point?

Last month, as Americans began to notice their bills going to the moon, USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins and Trump were given their marching orders and attempted to gaslight the country into believing that wind turbines and solar panels are what’s straining the grid and driving energy costs higher, as the administration announced an end to subsidies for those related projects. She said in a statement:

Quote:“Our prime farmland should not be wasted and replaced with green new deal subsidized solar panels. It has been disheartening to see our beautiful farmland displaced by solar projects, especially in rural areas that have strong agricultural heritage. One of the largest barriers of entry for new and young farmers is access to land. Subsidized solar farms have made it more difficult for farmers to access farmland by making it more expensive and less available.”

This is a load of nonsense. This techno-fascist-feudalist government has no problem sequestering hundreds, nay, thousands of acres of land for datacenters, battery plants and automated distribution centers - the One, Big, Beautiful Bill allows for eminent domain of private lands, and the AI Action Plan strips away the state’s ability to regulate AI. Oh, but solar panels and wind turbines are the new problem. Right…

Quote:Proverbs 19:1 Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool. [2] Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.

The end result? WinePress, which sponsored and authored the article, makes a stunning prediction, one with which I am in some agreement, and one which provokes today's high octane speculation:

Quote:Meanwhile, a massive AI bubble that eclipses the Dot Com bust is brewing. The Ponzi is getting more and more stupid. OpenAI invests in Oracle, Oracle invests in Nvidia, Nvidia invests in OpenAI. What a nice little scam they've got running. They’ll cash out before rubber meets the road. (Italicized emphasis added)

I strongly suspect that WinePress is on to something here, and perhaps something the full extent of which even its author may be unaware. To understand this point, upon which our daily dose of high octane speculation is developed, look at what is being implied by the remarks "OpenAI invests in Oracle, Oracle invests in Nvidia, Nvidia invests in OpenAI. What a nice little scam they've got running." In other words, what you're looking at is a kind of circular Ponzi scheme, where one system of algorithmic trading buys another system, and it in turn buys yet another, until the circle is completed, and a massive (and electronically-fast) bubble develops.  Notice that everything is "fine" just so long as the trading mechanism can keep going, ad infinitum, without interruption. But to keep the bubble growing, I submit that more and more power will be needed to propel it, until the whole energy output is consumed to maintain the fiction.

But why would one create such a monstrosity? What is its purpose?

I strongly suspect that this carousel of casuistry is needed simply to provide a new front, a new mask, a new cover, behind which that hidden system of finance I've spoken of for many years can continue to operate, and to gobble up ever more hard assets. In short, you're looking at a game of three-card monte, only the cards are being shuffled by AIs, and the queen is thus always moving faster than its human places can spot; indeed, she is probably not even in the deck at all. It is the ultimate development of a market system that is completely devoid of and divorced from human market realities. Or to put it differently, this circular Ponzi scheme, this game of AI three card monte, is the one-way mirror that Catherine Austin Fitts has spoken of so many times in her analyses of the emerging "financial" "system".


And that means it is probably the wiser and better course of wisdom to allow China to develop and contend with this dragon, which could easily end up consuming the entire electrical output of the Three Gorges Dam, and then some.

It takes a lot of energy to run high speed rails, to farm, to move production and enable supply lines, and it takes a lot of energy to chase the tail of the dragon in a circular Ponzi scheme in "data centers".

But in the latter case, the only thing needed to bring the whole thing down is someone pulling the plug, or a nice electro-magnetic pulse, or a massive solar flare.

With that in mind, it's best to remember, steam locomotives will still work long after diesel-electric locomotives have stopped dead in their (pun intended) tracks after a pulse. The analogy to trade? Well, stock markets and commodities markets worked just fine before there were telephones and computers and stock tickers, and only people waving papers and hollering frantically at each other on the trading floors. It's worth recalling, too, that those bearer bonds scandals proved one thing:  someone was willing to go to a lot of expense and trouble to create physical "securities" and move massive amounts of money that way, and avoid the wonders of "progress" and "digital technology."

A.I.'s time may indeed have come... but its life, I think, will be characterized by its shortness, brutality, and by its inhumanity and anti-humanity.

See you on the flip side...

I wanted to say man's inhumanity to man but men women and children were included . I always retained one bullet for myself because I was resigned to never be taken alive.

Quote:The Auschwitz concentration camp was not only a place of mass extermination but also of extreme cruelty, where Nazi guards and doctors subjected Jewish prisoners to unspeakable torture. Beyond starvation and forced labor, the camp became a laboratory of human suffering, designed to break both the body and spirit of its victims. Every method of torment was carefully orchestrated to strip individuals of their dignity and humanity. One of the most terrifying aspects was the brutal medical experimentation carried out by Nazi doctors like Josef Mengele. Prisoners, often children and twins, were subjected to injections, mutilations, and surgeries without anesthesia, all in the name of pseudoscientific racial theories. Many died in agony, while survivors were left with permanent physical and psychological scars. These experiments remain some of the most grotesque examples of medical abuse in human history. Another cruel form of torture was the deliberate exposure to unbearable conditions. Prisoners were left outside in freezing temperatures without proper clothing, beaten mercilessly for the slightest perceived offense, or forced into exhausting labor that led to collapse and death. In many cases, guards devised humiliating punishments to instill fear, ensuring that resistance or defiance was nearly impossible. The methods of torture in Auschwitz were not random acts of cruelty but part of a calculated system of oppression and dehumanization. Each act of brutality served the Nazis’ ultimate goal: to eradicate an entire people by destroying their will to live before their bodies were exterminated. Remembering these horrors is essential to ensuring that such atrocities are never repeated.

I was thinking about coded language in the form of street slang, particularly about the terms and phrases used for illegal activities. Just curious, as the idea of subculture use of language, including the drug culture or the gay culture, had come to mind. I had also thought to focus on liberal vs conservative use of language to see what possible slang is being used on either side of the aisle. Basically, I was looking into the current popular use of speech, the leading edge of our living language. It never got that far before the search engine bias took over.

I started with street slang and found that it apparently began with escaped slaves on the Underground Railroad and later evolved in urban areas where blacks migrated after the Civil War, and became modern street slang. I got mostly hip hop references from that search, and it wasn't inclusive of the slang used by white people. So I changed the search to "street slang coded language", and suddenly I found references to white coded language almost exclusively. 

The bias of these reports was plainly evident, as apparently, the only slang white people use is for racist references in the form of commonly used words. Some examples include . . .

Quote:Phrases like “inner city” and “illegal immigrant” are often code for Black and Latino people, for instance. Terms like “massage parlor” and “liquor store/Food and Liquor,” may seem to simply be names of certain structures or businesses but are often used in coded ways to denigrate certain populations . . .

Quote:Chick-fil-A is right coded. “Rent” and “Hamilton” are left coded. Comedy and wrestling are right coded. Independent movie theaters and capoeira are left coded. “Yellowstone” is right coded and “White Lotus” is left. There’s a case for the HBO show “Girls” being right coded. “Superbad” is a little unclear.

People have often signaled their values in the shows they watch (“The West Wing”), clothes they wear (white pantsuits) and restaurants they frequent. But it has become wildly popular in recent years, and especially in recent months, to read cultural tea leaves with the word “coded.” In group chats, on Reddit and on X, we’re calling anything and everything right or left “coded.” It’s like playing a game of charades, gesturing at the qualities a certain celebrity or bar or podcast has without saying exactly what you mean. Linguists notice it too, pointing to Google data that shows a spike in the use of “coded,” with its current meaning, since the 2010s.

How can anyone justify the Dems policies of catch and release ?

Quote:Alphabet-owned YouTube has agreed to pay $24.5 million to settle a lawsuit that President Donald Trump brought against the company over the suspension of his account following the January 2021 U.S. Capitol breach, a court filing showed on Monday.
The deal makes Google the last of the three big tech companies to resolve lawsuits Trump brought in July 2021 accusing them of unlawfully silencing conservative viewpoints.
Trump had also sued Twitter, now known as X, and Facebook owner Meta, as well as Alphabet's Google, and their chief executives in July 2021.
Meta and X agreed earlier this year to pay to settle the lawsuits.
Under the YouTube settlement, $22 million will be paid on Trump's behalf to the Trust for the National Mall, a nonprofit that the filing says is dedicated to the construction of a $200 million ballroom that Trump is building at the White House.
Work on the 90,000-square-foot (8361.27 square meters) facility is expected to be completed "long before" Trump's four-year term ends in January 2029.
The remaining amount will go to other plaintiffs in the case, including the American Conservative Union, which sponsors the Conservative Political Action Conference, and U.S. author Naomi Wolf.

YouTube did not admit wrongdoing and will not make product or policy changes under the settlement.
Trump did not lose his YouTube account in 2021 but was suspended from uploading new videos; it was restored in 2023.
In January, Meta agreed to pay about $25 million, and X paid about $10 million in February to settle similar lawsuits by Trump.
Meta's settlement designated $22 million for a fund for Trump's upcoming presidential library in Miami.

Around 20 FBI agents who were pictured taking a knee outside their HQ during the Floyd demonstration in Washington have been fired according to reports , showing support for a dug addled career criminal is no longer acceptable it seems as they pay the price for their Woke idiocy.

Quote:An estimated 20 agents have been dismissed, according to The Associated Press, which reported that many of those terminated had already been reassigned to lower-profile duties in the years since. 
Reuters framed the number of fired agents as "more than a dozen."
The photographs at issue reportedly showed a group of agents taking a knee during one of the demonstrations in Washington, D.C., after the May 2020 killing of Floyd in Minneapolis. 

Kneeling was widely used by protesters and supporters after Floyd’s death to signal sympathy with the Black Lives Matter movement and a call for racial justice.
