The subject matter of the work is the mythological story of Perseus beheading Medusa, a hideous woman-faced Gorgon whose hair had been turned to snakes; anyone who looked at her was turned to stone. Perseus stands naked except for a sash and winged sandals, triumphant on top of the body of Medusa with her head, crowned with writhing snakes, in his raised hand. Blood spews from Medusa's severed neck. The bronze sculpture, in which Medusa's head turns men to stone, is appropriately surrounded by three huge marble statues of men: Hercules, David, and later Neptune.[2] Cellini's use of bronze in Perseus and the head of Medusa, and the motifs he used to respond to the previous sculpture in the piazza, were highly innovative. Examining the sculpture from the back, one can see a self-portrait of the sculptor Cellini on the back of Perseus' helmet.

I'm seriously starting to wonder if he, like Jack Dorsey, might actually be one of the good guys. I guess we will see but he has done a complete 180 the last few months.

  1. This is ongoing and it just doesn't seem to be a drag yet. But I do suspect that this will have a huge impact on state budgets due to less tax $s from CRE.
  2. I think it would be difficult to dethrone the dollar.
  3. This is my guess. Whatever it is it will have to happen very quickly where people have little to no time to react.

I also believe that we are seeing the Cloward Piven strategy but on the side of good. They've shoved so much bad stuff on Americans the last few years that they will be begging for someone to fix it. Trump will have widespread approval to do what needs to be done.

I too believe that the economy or market must collapse. I used to believe that harm done to children would wake up the masses but I no longer believe that. They just don't seem to care. The only thing that will wake them up is losing their money.

However I just don't see what the catalyst could be at this moment. There seems to be so much money sloshing around.

What do you expect could bring it down?

Redacted @TheRedactedInc Could Prime Minister #Trudeau be on the brink of stepping down from #Canada's top job? ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Rumors are swirling after his latest bombshell interview where he confesses he contemplates quitting every single day. ๐Ÿ˜ณ Amidst this uncertainty, liberals are pressing for a substantial carbon tax hike, stirring further controversy. Could this potentially shatter Canada's already fragile economy?

Do you remember the Cyber event, all the talk of PCAPS? I'm not saying that these things are not real or that he has not put in a lot of sweat and tears but what specifically have you seen from that event which has come to fruition thus far?

Agree.

Remember the money laundering from FTX? Gone.

And they are desperate above all else for the money laundering in Ukraine too. That's gone too for now if the House holds the line.

There must be large civil rights violations class actions suits for this -- all of these entities that violated our civil rights must be held accountable. Perhaps after the Supreme Court hears the censorship case (in March?).

Everyone should watch this documentary. Webb recently did a good interview with Greg Hunter. You can find that interview on Rumble.

My personal blackpill theory:

I suspect that Google doesnโ€™t actually make that much money off of ads and instead, they are just selling your data to the CIA / NSA / China etc since the early 2000's. I believe the whole ad revenue narrative is mostly a cover for their surveillance capitalism which is growing obsolete in the face of competition. I donโ€™t recall ever buying a single product from a Google ad. I donโ€™t know anyone that has. When I was doing a product company as CEO, I was advised by a Marketing consultant to avoid Google ads unless I can "stick it out for three months and accept a lot of losses."

And this is typical, people in marketing avoid Google ads and stick with Facebook and Instagram because the ROI is so much better. There is only one company on the internet that I spend a ton of money on and thatโ€™s Amazon. But apparently, Google is bigger than them because of revenue from ads? That makes no sense at all. I don't know why people aren't asking more questions about this.

Hopefully, someone will do an audit of Google as this anti-trust case winds through the DOJ and someone will check their ad-words accounts. My guess is that the Chinese are funneling money through "ad purchases" and their employees doing the laundering are getting lazy and just buying keywords they type out randomly on the keyboard to get their numbers up.

I also think that YouTube is doing the same thing. Hence the reason there isn't even a DRM encryption mechanism available to any common creator. This allows countries like China to wholesale scrape all of YouTube as a giant surveillance op. The only benefit is that we get to do the same thing.

What's funny about the lack of a DRM encryption option is that it's already well supported within browsers and hardware because of companies like Netflix. You can see this in action if you try to copy a video from Netflix via OBS. You'll get a black screen.

So the fact YouTube doesn't even have this DRM option is mind-boggling. The only way Google and YouTube make sense to me is if they are doing all this because someone or a bunch of people are putting money in their pocket to keep all this data open to the intelligence orgs across the planet.

Anyway, the jig is up. Google fucked themselves by ruining their product, DEI telling their white engineers they were perpetuating white supremacy, and then flooding their engineering roles and centers of cultural control with Chinese engineers, with a large portion of them being foreign intelligence sleeper cells.

I agree with this. However, his timing is suspect ~~ I feel like he's trying to get ahead of something.

In some ways, I envy the blissfully ignorant. Knowing what we know is a heavy burden to bear.

Did you catch that Jones says to Flynn at around 32:30 that he knows Trump is the "real President"? Flynn did not correct him.

This would be related to Patrick Byrne's "Liver Punch":

Allegations:

  1. As prosecutor in ICC Jack extorted Europeans: "We know you killed a guy in 1997, pay me or I indict you."

  2. DOJ-SDNY knew since April 2022 & buried it.

  3. DOJ to Jack: "You get Trump or we get you."

Good

only 14.8% of adults 60 and older have been vaccinated against the virus, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said this month.

Agreed. I try to do this as much as possible.

I buy everything I can from thrift --- clothing, household appliances, dishes, etc. Also purchase my CDs, DVDs, Books and Toys from Goodwill -- gives me the option to get the classics, much better quality than what you can buy new anyways.

While I grow some food, it's not possible for me to grow it all. When you shop at the grocery store, avoid anything in a package when possible. This of course means you'll be making most of your food from scratch -- which is not only cheaper but better for you.

I'm trying to get creative too for Christmas gifts.

  • For one of my granddaughters, I found a wooden baby doll bed at the junk yard. Gonna refinish it and make her a mattress, quilt and rag doll to go with it. PS: If you do crafts, Goodwill is a great place to get inexpensive sheets/pillowcases etc to use for fabric scraps.
  • I made Pine Tar soap for the guys. They LOVE this! I make it stronger than what you can buy online.
  • Making homemade raspberry jam and peanut butter fudge.
  • Cute snowman ornaments made from my leftover baby food jars.
  • Buying experiences for our older daughters (for one I'm getting her and her husband tickets to a local music performance, for another I'm getting a gift card for a local art venue, and the other is getting a gift card to the state parks for camping)

Still looking for ideas. What are others here doing? Especially for kids.

Something I've never been able to figure out... I would assume that JFK Jr would have trademarked his "George" magazine. The new magazine has that same title and font. Surely this would be trademark infringement? How is the new magazine allowed to use it?
