MSM (and Youtube) are pushing the narrative that Ukraine is a legitimate rival of Russia.

In just one week I have seen videos showing Ukrainian drones destroying Russian tanks, Russia running out of missiles, and Ukrainian tactics overwhelming Russia's lines.

I do not believe that is true. And more importantly - we better hope that is not true. Because if it is true, that means America and the West are placing their thumbs on the scale of this war. And if Russia legitimately feels threatened, it will unleash hell at everyone it deems responsible.

We have no business in Ukraine. We need to stop meddling.

I was fortunate enough to have a job where I didn't need the vax to work. And my opinion when the vax came out was "If you want it, get it." I didn't offer an opinion - you do you.

I was screamed at mercilessly by people who demanded that I get the vax for my safety and theirs.

Now that I've waited this long, all I can say is that the vaxxed have buyers' remorse.

I don't believe so. Vatican City is a sovereign. So, you would need to break the treaty and do so by force. I don't think anyone in Italian government wants the optics of occupying Vatican City with tanks and soldiers.

Can confirm. I saw the story a few months back when Russia was on the offensive and gaining territory. Ukraine asked the EU for help, and the EU just lol'd. Suddenly, "Russia started bombing the nuclear power plant at location X" and the EU got very upset.

But that begs the question: if the goal is to annex Ukraine, why would you bomb nuclear power plants there? The most likely scenario is that Ukraine bombed those plants to blame Russia and get EU involved.

Its all one big scam at this point.

On Friday, the evening news had a headline of "Putin threatens nuclear war"

So i watched the story. Turns out, Putin's direct quote was "Russia will use everything at our disposal to protect and defend Russian lands."

That became "Putin wants to go nuclear."

The MSM is the enemy of the people.

This was drug trafficking, IIRC. A Sicilian gangster made contacts in Afghanistan for Heroin, and then shipped it to Brazil, and finally to various pizzerias in the US. The dope was found in jars of tomato sauce and other ingredients. That was the network.

Take a lesson from Machiavelli - the man who liberated politics from morality:

“The lion cannot protect himself from traps, and the fox cannot defend himself from wolves. One must therefore be a fox to recognize traps, and a lion to frighten wolves.”

You have to play the game as your opponent plays the game.

There is no document in the possession of the US and its agencies that is "classified" from the President. He can view any document at will. No one can redact or withhold it.

I would also go so far as to say that a President can declassify information at will. You will hear loony liberals say that "he needs to put in an application for declass tot he appropriate agency." if that were true, then the agency could reject applications - effectively preventing the President from exercising his powers.

Putting in an application is a formality. If the agency doesn't get around to it, does that mean it wasn't declassified? No. Long story short - any President has the authority to declass anything, at any time.

I don't buy into the official narrative of the plane, that is for sure.

The last I saw, the theory is that most of the plane's body stayed inside the tower after impact. Reason: the tower was not solid, and simply shredded the plane as it entered - like a cheese grater.

The plane body, being made of aluminum, provided a source of fuel for the fires. Aluminum has a much lower melting point than steel - and the molten metal we see spewing out of the building was the molten aluminum. These fires weakened (didn't melt) the steel of the building, and caused its collapse.

Here are the problems with that scenario:

  1. On impact, it is safe to assume that most of the jet fuel was consumed. Yes, it caused fires in the building - but did so across multiple floors. Some big, some small. It wasn't one raging, monster, isolated fire. More on this at #6

  2. It is difficult to envision most of the plane remaining intact after hitting a steel frame building at 500 MPH. The building was only ~ 1 acre wide and we saw major pieces of the plane get ejected from the building. To be fair, let's assume 50% of the plane was vaporized on impact - leaving 50% in the building.

  3. Now the question is - can ordinary fires of office furniture heat aluminum to the point where it melts? Maybe. But what are the chances that the fires met the shredded aluminum with such regularity that it melted? I'd venture close to zero.

  4. Even if aluminum was melting - it does so at 1200F. That does not explain the melting of the steel beams and trusses (which melt at 2500F).

  5. Metal is resilient. When heated, it will dissipate the heat to the coldest ends of the metal. It takes a great deal of heat and time to melt metal in an uncontrolled environment. The steel in the WTC melted in 90 minutes.

  6. If you listen to the radio calls from firefighters in the building, they clearly say "We have isolated pockets of fire that we can knock down. Send up X guys with a line." Does that sound like a raging fire that was hitting 2500F? No. To be fair, let's assume most of the fires couldn't be put out with a small crew. But their observation tells us that a systemic weakening of the metal occurring on multiple floors just wasn't happening the way we've been led to believe. Small fires do not weaken steel.

  7. But let's assume everything in the official narrative is correct. You have two buildings hit in two completely different angles. That means the fires were different. The structure damage was different. The weight distribution was different. How could it be that both buildings failed - and fell - in the exact same way? And while we're at it - how could it be that WTC 7 failed and fell in the same way as WTC 1 & 2?

To be fair - we don't know where that beam came from. It could have been ground level, which means it would retain slag. Also, I think the workers were more interested in heavy duty excavation - not finesse work.

Not beating you up or anything. Just laying it out there.

Workers in the basement of the building swear they heard explosions in the basement well before the plane hit the tower.

IIRC, there is even audio of a business meeting a few blocks away where people comment "What was that noise? Sounded like an explosion" well before the plane hit.

IIRC, the fires at Ground Zero did not go out until January 2002 - surviving drenching rains, and a NYC winter. Those fires generated lots of heat and were producing melted steel for 3+ months.

At the time, the narrative was that the firs kept finding more fuel in the parking garage, where they would ignite the cars. Except - most of those cars were recovered, with their gas tanks intact.

Not just that. The story of how it made its way into the hands of authorities is completely unbelievable.

After the first tower was hit, there was pandemonium in the streets of Manhattan. The tallest building in the city was on fire, billowing out paper and smoke - and all first responders were mobilized to the scene.

An unnamed, innocent bystander found the passport (in near pristine condition) amidst the chaos, immediately thought it was significant to the event, and handed it to the nearest police officer.

Further stretching this story: after the passport was handed off, the second tower was hit, and both towers collapsed. But somehow, the police officer had the wherewithal to a) not die; b) hold on tot he passport and; c) give the passport to the FBI within 24 hours.

More interesting: the innocent bystander has never come forward to take credit for his incredible find, and neither has the police officer.

Also of note: I don't remember getting a mild case of "mumps" after I was vaccinated.

Idk about the 250 years thing. I'd like to think, at the very beginning, the good guys were in control.

But certainly, the last 100+ years have been cabal.

Yes, they did. Biden said it and the head of Moderna said it.

Their content is flat-out mediocre. All filler, no killer.

They got wildly popular because they were the first to move to a streaming model. This caused a bump in content, because studios saw Netflix as a platform.

Then studios saw Netflix as a competitor. And Netflix could not compete with studios that have been around for ages.

Give them time...they'll come up with a narrative where the Founders raped their slaves and forced them to have abortions. So they were racist baby killers.

They discovered him a few years ago, when they went all "Jefferson raped his slave and had children with her!"

They repeated it so loudly and proudly that I accepted it as fact. When I went to Monticello, it was all but treated as an undeniable fact....except for the smallest excerpt on the smallest exhibit: "Proof of Jefferson fathering children with Sally Hemmings was based on DNA testing of living Hemmings descendants and hair taken from the brush of Jefferson's cousin

They never tested Jefferson's DNA - but concluded that he fathered her children. That wouldn't hold up in court - and it shouldn't hold up in the Court of Public Opinion.

I have no problem paying for skilled labor. But the raw price of diamonds is artificial.

NYC_4_Trump 3 points ago +3 / -0

Came here to say this. Everything we know about diamonds is bordering on propaganda.

They aren't as rare as we are led to believe. Their MINING is kept low, so as to artificially create scarcity.

Further: diamonds were never associated with marriage until clever ad execs on Madison Avenue in the 1950s started marketing them as "necessary" for engagements.

Look at old movies and TV (pre 1960). Practically no one was given a diamond ring for engagement/marriage.
