Exactly. Add another zero to that and then I will say maybe they were serious. Think of the fines that Fox got over the Domunion or even Alex Jones.
It is like that clip in Austin Powers where Dr. Evil suggests holding the world ransom for one million dollars and the response is like 'uh, that's not that much money.'
Ditto that - I know there is an awful lot of video shared, but this is really one of the signs the GA is beginning to pierce the Normieville veil.
Plus Jeffrey Sachs is s good interview - I love the question Tucker poses about MSM essentially blackmailing him when he said on Bloomberg that we blew up the Nordstream pipeline. Yep, that turned out to be true. Again .
I'm just spitballing here. The guy who writes the comms blog has done dives into Nintendo/Super Mario Brothers/Luigi. There is a lot, but I came across this as Mario Puzo, the author of The Godfather, came up in the WordPress search.
"What is Godfather?"
"A story about a Mafia boss unable to reign in the many criminal families that are supposed to obey him."
"A story about that Mafia boss “Dying” and giving the reigns to his MILITARY TRAINED SON who can then get things under control." . Military is the only way?
This whole thing cones off very managed, for lack of a better term. The Luigi character is an Italian plumber (fixer?) from NY where tge shooting occurred. There is a very mob vibe about this incident. How this all fits in with the murder of a man on the street, I am not sure, but messages are definitely being relayed. IMHO.
She's good. The background she gave on Kamala on Tucker was excellent (I think it was Tucker - that seems ages ago and I think it was only in mid-October.) And she made it clear that the censorship BS was the hill she was ready to die on.
I heard something yesterday that they are already trying to play one off the other. Divide and conquer. I don't think it will work. The playbook is old and everyone knows it.
That said, it is always a good reminder to keep yourself in check.
This reminds me that, basically, they are just gangs . Shawn Ryan did a podcast with a guy who had who had worked in a gang unit - I think his name is Scott Blake off the top of my head. (Watch the clips because the full podcast is over five hours.) He was explaining the difference between traditional and non-traditional gangs. Traditional is your established gangs with a national presence - more akin to crime families. Think Blood and Crips Non -traditional tend to be more like Bob's Boys - neighborhood gangs made up of younger teenagers. Kind of a JV before they are old enough to move up to the big time. The biggest delineator is that the traditional gangs are rules based, and they will join forces from time to time if the common interest/enemy is shared. (He said what scared him more was the non-traditional because it was a no rules environment populated with people who were too young to understand the consequences of their actions and thus could be very dangerous.)
We tend to think of gang culture as something that comes from being poor and I think that is a partial narrative that has been sold to us over the years to keep us from noticing. We tend to view the Cabal as rich and exotic, but in reality, they aren't any different - they have their rules and symbolism, etc. and are ruthless and self interested- perhaps even more so.
This guy was a divisional CEO. Andrew Witty is the real big guy over United Healthcare Group. Thompson became the divisional CEO in 2021 and had previously run the Mexicare/Medicaid division until 2021.
Saw one little potentially interesting tidbit that a fund based in CT called Parsifal Caputal Management LP bought over 36K of shares in Q3 making UHG their 15th largest holding. They apparently have five clients and AUM of $2.2B. Owned by a Lucas Warford and David Zorub.
I handle the quarterly payroll tax for my job. The guy who had the job before me screwed up and used a previous year's form one quarter so I refiled it on the correct form and included a letter explaining what had happened. Money was paid, just the wrong form. It was sent in several months ago. Got a letter yesterday that they acknowledged it was received but they need at least another 60 days to review. I just shook my head. What do you people DO??
Can't wait for this stupid shit to go away.
Cancer fucks with your head, even if you beat it. (My dad had cancer when he was 41 - he is 80 now. Half his life ago, and the fear still pops up from time to time.) I watched him on Election Night - when it was clear we had won, he got a little emotional and said he needed this so badly. Mentioned the cancer, his mom passing. Guy has been through a lot.
I keep saying - give them all an ink pot and quill. It was good enough for their predecessors, it's good enough for them as successors.
