The California of Canada just had an election. The British Columbian version of the Tea Party went from 2% to over 40% support and has the numbers to force an election if a few of the winner's party are sick from work. The winds are changing.
Poilievre was just grandstanding with an I told you so after you supported Trudeau more than 180 times and he gave you nothing because you're dumb. Instead of welcoming them to bring down the government and stressing the Conservative's past and future provincialist sensibilities. Had some of the disgruntled Liberals joined the motion, Singh could have been caught gargling Trudeau's balls through a failed confidence vote and we'd be back at the polls.
I think Poilievre stuck his dick in it. Blanchet has the least on the line in this situation.
I doubt it. Musk is a smart guy. The kind of project manager who understands, at a high level, what the engineers are doing and can call bullshit and know when to overfund something because he can critically assess whether or not it's feasible. He's also business savvy to a point. To a point because he's a government money pit.
If you're looking for super scientist types who will contribute to the public good, it's Taylor Wilson. He'll be back on people's radar and is the beneficiary of small, but significant to him, Peter Thiel money. Thiel being a massive patron of Vance.
Wilson or his teams will figure out gen-5 small scale nuclear reactors and unlock about 75 years of global energy. Cheap electricity moves oil back to industry and vehicles. Decentralized grids can be built up in remote locations that are suffering and allow industries to move there.
Other countries won't trust it at first, so this will give America a decade long head start on transitioning to the new model and leapfrogging over the energy infrastructure of its competitors.
Wilson is still active and has branched out. Most of these types do their big work in their late 20s early 30s. https://dragonflyenergy.com/the-li-mitless-energy-podcast-putting-nuclear-power-on-the-grid/
At least since 2016. I remember Pelosi complaining about it and rejecting the obvious solution.
To be fair, most or all of those countries don't grant their citizens inalienable rights. America has to navigate more complex judicial waters than the rest of us because of this.
I'd take the voter ID BS over my country's Notwithstanding Clause that allows suspension of any constitutional challenge for 5 years without contest by the country or any province. Along with our "guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law" where "Reasonable" has a legal definition a mile wide when employed in bad faith.
Your constitutional rights are special and the fight should be finding a way to get IDs to all citizens, free of charge, and with whatever assistance an individual requires. There should be a drive for this every 2 years in the non-election years. A single PAC worth of contributions could probably buy this.
It was a left talking point before that. There was a frequent rebuttal of making ID free and requiring it for welfare. This shut them up.
I just read about this one. She's an actual classic, pre-WEF dictionary defined fascist. In the secular, corporate, totalitarian state sense. Italian to boot.
The WEF doesn't usually tip the anti-Marxist part of their hand, but it's on full display with this one.
People won't elect a victim come time to sit in a private cubical and mark a ballot. This would make her a victim. Not a survivor and a fighter.
Kamala is a confused tool who sucked her way through the glass ceiling. Hillary is an intelligent Machiavellian whose bitterness and dehumanizing malice drove her to try and smash against the firmament. 2016 Hillary would have shackled America.
SAIs is as simple as running some barges back and forth across the ocean where they spray and the aerosolized water reflects light. It's not all that technical. The amount of energy we're talking about with global weather systems is not something technology can produce without sending shockwaves around the planet. Best engineering can do is fuck around and find out.
The greenhouse gas thing is pseudo bullshit. Physicists have finally bothered to weigh in on this and have pointed out that each particle of a given gas has a thermal capacity according to its properties at a given point in the Earth's gravitational field. At our current atmospheric composition, we're at or near the saturation point for our composition's thermal capacity. The blanket is as warm as it will get and it we'd need something more Venus-like to hit those nightmare Venus-like scenarios.
Things can only get incrementally worse in minor ways with greenhouse gases. We've caught up with our carbon up to the pre-industrial era and have accounted for forest fires and most of the methane in Siberia.
What we did was warm up fast in geological terms and the tempest in the teapot needs more time than people currently alive have to settle down. We should be focusing on mitigation, decentralized supply chains, emergency responses, and how to deal with same-nation refugee situations.
What they'll never say is that cooling down the planet by sequestering gases and reducing the thermal capacity of the blanket is also a tempest in a teapot situation and the instability will be the same for a similarly long period.
Giving them a positive relationship with something that can't know what they did helps with the compartmentalization needed for rehabilitation.
I'm honestly surprised 'Hope and Soy' or 'Cope and Soy' wasn't something that caught on.
You're going to have to cut immigration to stop the rampant unemployment all of his efficiency will bring on. Probably lower taxes too. End up remaking that middle class and waking up what remains of the Western World to how everything's been perverted against them.
Epstein was trafficking to old money. Combs is new money and new money isn't liked by, nor nearly as powerful as, old money.
They appointed their presidential candidate too.
Atheism is best challenged with the Replication Crisis. It turns empirical reality on its head and plunges fedora tippers into a lonely, epistemologically untethered, existential nightmare. They'll either emerge agnostic or destructively nihilistic. The former can at least be saved, with the latter being contained as far as its capacity to persuade and condemn others.
To really fuck with them bring up AI as a force multiplier in the Replication Crisis. Hundreds of thousands of bad assumptions informing a mind with no physical presence or upbringing. It will turn the scientific epistemology into a thousand monkeys on a thousand typewriters. Accuracy by volume, far from scientific, and completely unreasonable as the basis for a world view.
No worries.
It's a huge topic. If you're really interested, I'd recommend starting with Abelard's Adversities ( https://archive.org/details/storyofabelardsa0000abel ). It's the first autobiography and comes right at the end of the dark ages. It was considered prideful to write an autobiography, so they just didn't exist. This is an 84 page rant letter that goes through Abelard's life and serves as a first person, unfiltered look into how a smart guy experienced life back then and what it was like being part of the unreformed ecclesiarchy. The Ancient Greek writings were not in Europe during the dark ages, likely due to the Great Schism between the Catholic and Greek Orthodox churches. So keep that in mind. People were pretty much the same then as now, just living in a different context.
For the plague, https://courses.lumenlearning.com/atd-herkimer-westerncivilization/chapter/the-black-death/ is a good 1 or 2 pager. The Decameron (not the Netflix show) is a very long book by an author who knew the era. The writing is regarded as formative for the Italian language. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/15360/decameron-by-giovanni-boccaccio-translated-by-j-g-nichols/9780307472175
For the other eras, I'm going to recommend looking up the Silk Road, Renaissance, Italian Empire, Reformation & Lutheran Revolt, Portuguese Empire, Spanish Empire, French Empire, French Revolution, Napoleon, Industrial Era, Anglican Church (Henry VIII), English Empire, and Bank of England in the 13th Encyclopedia Britannica.

The set is extremely dated but is public domain and cannot be edited. It's also untouched by the social revolutions of the 60s onward and is barely touched by the suffrage movement.
Western civilization and culture is not a Cabal initiative. The Cabal is primarily the controller of primary news sources and the international monetary fund/world bank. It's finance and media. It's ephemeral but can colour ideas and feed or starve corporations and countries. It doesn't have the manpower to do much more than pay think tanks to think then promote those thoughts.
Western civilization as we know it is a product of the Renaissance having the wealth and historical privilege to enact the Christian Reformation and get the ball rolling on humanist philosophy. This happened after one of the waves of black death killed upwards of 50% of the people in some regions. Inheritances were pooled, labour became so valuable that serfdom ended as an institution, and the Silk Road's profits had to find new hands to fall into.
The cabal was likely a quarter to a half dead at that time.
It was an generational accident that hasn't happened elsewhere in the world and is the foundation of the West and modern Western thinking. From that grew a culture of exceptionalism that caused the Portuguese to sail around Italy and stake out further points of the Orient and this gave us Western Christian colonialism.
After that you had Spain sponsoring the circumnavigation of the Earth to get around the Portuguese, bringing the Americas into play.
Add in the Lutheran Revolt that deinstitutionalized a lot of entrenched Cabalists.
Then the French Revolution and Napoleon arming peasants.
Then the British Empire and industrialization.
Then the post-industrial age and the post-war American Empire is where there is a critical mass.
He might still have 12 months. 13 if the bill to extend his reign past many of his members' lifetime pensions vesting goes through.
What's changed is he can't take bills for granted anymore. Up until recently he had a binding agreement with his fluffer that the NDP would unanimously support any vote that he made a Confidence Vote. He can no longer do Confidence Votes willy nilly now because he no longer has a binding support agreement with another party, and if he loses the Confidence Vote, our government dissolves.
He is no longer a dictator. His votes can now fail. If he doesn't call any confidence votes, he can rule until our 2025 budget. That is a confidence vote and he will probably throw billions of dollars at Quebec to squeak it through and then hide under his desk until October 2025.
Thank you for adding the text from the bill.
Yes, it's terrible. I'm just stating that the bill, however weak, strengthens the almost non-existent consequences for these crimes. The video should call this out by stating what the situation is before the bill and after the bill. Specifically these opportunities for predators that are being left intact. Some of them explicitly drawn out so that predators can identify them before exploiting them.
I just searched this because I'm in Canada and this seems insane.
Prior to February 2024, it was as she said. The bill is trying to change the 2 days and fine so that it is still that for children between 16-18. They are proposing a blanket exception for children under 16, and 16-18 year olds in human trafficking situations to extend that to up to 3 years and the same small fine.
1-3 years is still fucking crazy.
I hope this is just the solicitation part of the crime and that there is a child rape sentence on top of this for the act.
RFK wasn't kidding when he went off about neocons. It's going to be a political miracle if America isn't walked into a war between November and January 20th.
How many middle class neocons are there to tempt into Kamala's tent that carting out the people responsible for lying their way into the Iraq war seems like a good idea? Their main bloc of voters is all in on Palestine and here we have the PNAC gallery asking to join hands with them.
Snopes says it is 100% true that RFK ate a (hot) dog, so the headline isn't technically wrong. It's the fault of the public for mentally filling in the blanks.
The EPA is going to lean on the Army Corp of Engineers who will offload their reporting to Hawaii and other friendly bodies. It almost won't matter who the head is because there are 2 snakes.
The usual shit with the courts and moves to impeach based on the rulings of stacked courts in safe states.
What's got me thinking is what they think they can do this time around to sabotage Trump's term and get people crawling back to the globalists. They can't derail logistics like they did with the scamdemic. That undermines faith in the global machine. It's going to be the intelligence apparatus failing and allowing attacks on American internet and electrical grids. Ruinous economic damage, and a reliance on global profiteers to help rebuild in an emergency. Followed by the uniparty thanking them in the future and retracking their plans. Seems possible on paper.
Trump needs to executive order that all grid hardware and software needs to be American made. He should probably try to build some mutual intelligence with the Russians and Chinese around protection of power grids and push for a minimum starlink presence via space force and satellites to keep alternative routing for the internet in place. The gird is more difficult to address.
