Last I was aware. The Helicopters that were part of the convoy were Soviet-Era Mi-17s as the President was reportedly traveling with a large group of personnel.
So. They blame Russia. When their own rhetoric and actions have more or less given every political fringe group and more then a few mainstream ones, and god knows how many front organizations. Grounds to cause trouble, riot, and spread mischief and chicanery.
Iran activates it’s continuity of Government Plans. And searches for either a culprit or scapegoat. Depending on what the almost guaranteed investigation of the crash will reveal
Robotic Nationalism?
I mean it’s probably not what I’m thinking of. But I just have a mental picture of a Robotic Assembly Arm waving the Stars and Stripes.
I’d say it would probably depend on the location of the lower class. The ones from Rural Villages outside the the cities probably aren’t complaining much. Given that’s primarily the areas where the Iranians have primarily had trouble with Ethnic Militias and various Rebel groups. The Protests in the cities not-withstanding.
Especially in recent years
You know. This resurgence of Racial Division, and the ease of which the Cabal can stoke it, comes on the heels of the slow demise of the National Mythos and the generic non-denominational fuzzy notion of Christianity. That previously constituted the American story.
Trump to his credit. Speaks often of reviving the American Economy. And to a lesser extent of a revival of the American Mythos and story. Though he is far more mum on the steps he plans on taking on how to achieve that.
It should be interesting considering even portions of his base are eagerly waiting for it’s final demise. Either because they detested portions of it themselves IE the lionization of Lincoln and the Union. Or seek to manipulate it themselves to one degree or another. Whether to secure yet more personal rights, freedoms, and privileges or for other blatantly self-interested reasons.

If you aren’t packing fudge. Your 100% safe from the pox.
Not buttsex. No pox. Simple as.
Indeed. And someone, at least last I was aware, told the infiltrators exactly where to find the homes of local Garrison Commanders, Police Chiefs, and their seconds and thirds in command.
Further crippling any attempt at even a half-assed local response as the Command staff for local forces ceased to exist. Being killed or wounded.
360k is pocket change when it comes to actually living in the craphole that is the people’s republic of California.
Hope she takes the cash and moves states.
Wish we had similar shenanigans in Congress. It’d make it more entertaining at least. Other Countries get full on fist fights or people stealing the Bill.
We get overpaid morons having passive aggressive arguments and throwing veiled insults, threats and other verbal warfare at each other. Like seriously I’d like to see someone just give the chief opponent to their Bill a solid right hook. Instead of a 2 hour verbal sparring contest that ultimately accomplishes dick all aside from making the average citizens life harder.
So Basically. Calling on Veterans and even active Duty soldiers to get involved in their communities. Which is in essence addressing the U.S Military’s almost chronic disinterest in Civilian affairs that aren’t either immediately National Security related. Or potential tools to use to boost recruitment.
And simultaneously providing a base of experience the Civilian population can rally on in their own efforts.
Any of the chans with an AI of their own. Is akin to unleashing an ancient Eldritch Horror on a preschool. Even in the chans greatly diminished state.
It should be amusing to see the fireworks.
Unironically. Both chambers of Congress have throughout the past century consistently made a better argument for the dismantling of Congress as an institution. Than the most ardent Authoritarian or Monarchist could ever hope to make. Bouncing between the pockets of the domestic Wealthy and foreign governments depending on the era
And frankly I’d be shocked if the institution of Congress is capable of being fixed. With implementation of new policy and term limits. It’s spent the majority of its existence as a barely functional institution. The time of Statesmen and Aristocratic Gentlemen of yore is long past.
Though some postulate. Congress and by extension the Federal Government. Was deliberately set up, and certain behaviors encouraged in the infant bureaucracy in the early years. To grow the bureaucracy, corruption, and bloat so the Government would end up as a barely functional entity. Specifically because the founders believed a competent, smaller, efficient, and functional government would eventually pose a threat to the Liberty of the people. And move quickly enough the population at large would be caught totally unawares
As opposed to a cumbersome giant you can see making a move. Before it even realizes it’s moving.
Anytime DEI is brought in. Public or Private sector. Almost universally morale plummets into the basement as staff and personnel walk on eggshells around each other. Incompetents who should never have been hired or promoted into various roles are. And quality of service suffers.
And in an agency whose duties are, at least on paper, directly associated with the country’s national security. It’s borderline suicidal.
And unfortunately the Secret Service is not a retail chain that can eventually go under due to incompetence and mismanagement of leadership.
TBH. This is the first press conference from “Officialdom” I’m actually looking forward to watching. Don’t expect anything groundbreaking from it. But still it maybe presented in a new way compared to the more clinical presentations I’ve seen before. From non-Religious groups.
I’m not necessarily opposed to letting someone with a Terminal Physical Illness go out on their own terms. As opposed to letting whatever illness they have degrade them to a point they can’t function or even get out of bed. Supposing they want it without outside pressure by the Government or anyone else.
But without fail. These ‘Assisted Suicide’ laws keep being expanded. Whether by Legislation or Legal Challenges by the Mentally Ill. To encompass even trivial mental illness. As grounds for Suicide.
Normalizing suicide as a permanent solution for every physical and mental problem including temporary ones isn’t a path society should be treading down.
Texas A&M University has a campus on the island. Only real significant features aside from a pair of WW2-Era Museum Ships
That’s really a sign of 🤡 world
Irelands whole cultural zeitgeist was based off opposing the English and being oppressed by the English
Now that the English oppression thing has largely been dealt with. They have a left-wing Government with no purpose searching for a larger over-arching purpose. Now that they can’t truly poke and feud with the English. And expect international backing
And a Left-Wing Government with no over-arching goal of their own. Means they’ll latch onto one. And the popular choice choice for left-wing European Governments is importing as much of third world as you can get to apologize for your ancestors being being better at war and conquest. Even if your ancestors in the case of the Irish weren’t apart of the conquest part but instead were part of the ‘Getting Conquered’ part.
Fun fact. There’s more Irishmen and people with Irish Blood in the United States than in Ireland.
So that’s 169 Trillion, 261 Billion, 620 Million, 876 Thousand, 128 dollars in ‘Hidden Wealth’.
One would suspect Blue Beam initially
But if that was the case. One would think they’d logically would stand to gain more from people completely losing their shit and so they wouldn’t explain anything.
That kind of equipment line up. Guarantees likely extensive Cartel/Organized Crime Support at Minimum. If we could get a list on just whose homes are being targeted.
If it’s the houses of Defense Contractor Staff and Researchers for private companies. It could hint at organized State Support disguised as Cartel/Organized Crime Support. And the theft of anything else is to obscure their true targets.
Old junk metal plated in Gold gag. A Classic of fraudsters everywhere.
These sorts of scams are endemic in China. The People there often don’t trust each other as much as they don’t trust the Government. So they’ll pull scams like this
I recall there were murmurings about Soleimani and steps he was taking to court Domestic support for a possible bid at Supreme Leader.
And then American Intelligence seemingly got their hands on basically his full classified schedule and travel itinerary. And then Trump took the opportunity to waste him with a Rocket. There were rumors in alternative spheres internal Domestic opponents sought to get him out of the way and deliberately leaked it. But no one took it seriously at the time.
And now the other major potential opponent ends up dead in a Helicopter Crash.
Perhaps we should start reconsidering the validity of those rumors.
