Meanwhile the president is using AI memes to take down a global cabal that tried to enslave them. But no one cares about that.

Why allow the brainwashing to happen in the first place? Homeschool and apprenticeship. Don't let them get to him.

I agree. If Trump hadn't had his home raided, been arrested and mugshotted, the left would be screaming "UnPrEcDeNtEd!" when it happened to Obama. He has no legal defenses to stand on.

Interesting that he only refers to "conspiracy" theories. A conspiracy requires multiple collaborators. Why would him threatening to resign be considered a conspiracy?

I heard no mention of Apple specifically in the video. Are they worse than other brands of earbuds? I don't use Apple products at all, but not for this reason.

It was heavy on censorship way before that. In 2016/2017 when the Bitcoin block size war was going on, the Bitcoin subreddit didn't allow any discussion in favor of increasing the block size. It still bans the topic to this day. Then Bitcoin got crippled and all who spoke out about it got banned. That is why the Bitcoin culture became toxic - they drove out all the voices of reason.

Arguably, the main reason drugs are so dangerous is because they are illegal. If they were treated like other substances, like alcohol or even weed, there would be consistent, regulated supplies where contamination with fentanyl would not be an issue. It would also eliminate the black market for those substances.

I think what happens sometimes is the dealer sells multiple products like fent, coke, meth, etc. They might use the same surface to divide out doses and not do a good job cleaning in between so the fent gets mixed up in the other stuff and fent is so potent for someone with no tolerance a tiny bit is all it takes to kill you.

I would love to someday see a movie about that moment in history.

Yes I'm aware of the JFK memorial. I tend to think that was when the Q group really came into being, when military top brass got together and realized they had just been couped, they devised a plan to reclaim the government after letting the enemy expose themselves over time.

The Connection Between Plutarch, 17, Osiris, and Set

The connection between Plutarch, the number 17, Osiris, and Set represents a profound astronomical and mythological correlation that the Greek philosopher recorded in his treatise "Isis and Osiris" (De Iside et Osiride), part of his Moralia collection.

Plutarch's Account of the 17th Day

According to Plutarch, "the end of Osiris's life came on the seventeenth of the month, on which day it is quite evident to the eye that the period of the full moon is over"[1]. This specific timing connects Osiris's death to the lunar cycle, marking the moment when the moon begins its waning phase after reaching fullness.

The significance of this timing extends beyond mere calendar notation. Plutarch notes that "the Pythagoreans call this day 'the Barrier,' and utterly abominate this number"[1]. For the Pythagoreans, 17 was problematic because it "coming in between the square sixteen and the oblong rectangle eighteen... bars them off from each other and disjoins them, and breaks up the ratio of eight to eight and an eighth by its division into unequal intervals"[1].

The Dismemberment into Fourteen Parts

Following Osiris's death on the 17th day, Plutarch describes how Set (whom he identifies with Typhon) dismembered Osiris into fourteen parts[1]. This number correlates directly with the lunar cycle: "The dismemberment of Osiris into fourteen parts they refer allegorically to the days of the waning of that satellite from the time of the full moon to the new moon"[1].

The myth presents a complete lunar narrative: Osiris dies on the 17th day (when the full moon period ends), and his body is divided into 14 pieces, representing the 14 days of the moon's waning phase until it disappears entirely. Various sources report different numbers of pieces - Plutarch mentions 14, while Diodorus Sicilus records 16 pieces, and some Egyptian sources claim 42 pieces corresponding to the number of nomes (provinces) in Egypt[2][3].

Set as Solar Opposition

Plutarch presents Set (Seth/Typhon) as representing solar destructive force in opposition to Osiris's lunar regenerative power. "The Egyptians regularly call Typhon 'Seth,' which, being interpreted, means 'overmastering and compelling'"[1]. In the cosmic allegory, "by Typhon is meant the solar world, and by Osiris the lunar world"[1].

This opposition represents the eternal cosmic struggle between destructive solar heat and nurturing lunar moisture. Plutarch explains that "the moon, because it has a light that is generative and productive of moisture, is kindly towards the young of animals and the burgeoning plants, whereas the sun, by its untempered and pitiless heat, makes all growing and flourishing vegetation hot and parched"[1].

The Astronomical Symbolism

The complete myth functions as an astronomical allegory where:

  • Osiris represents the moon in its beneficial, life-giving aspects
  • Set represents the destructive solar force that overcomes lunar influence
  • The 17th day marks the astronomical moment when lunar fullness ends
  • The fourteen pieces represent the fourteen days of lunar waning
  • The eventual resurrection represents the moon's return to visibility

Plutarch notes that "they make the power of Osiris to be fixed in the Moon, and say that Isis, since she is generation, is associated with him"[1]. The Egyptians recognized that "the Moon the mother of the world, and they think that she has a nature both male and female, as she is receptive and made pregnant by the Sun, but she herself in turn emits and disseminates into the air generative principles"[1].

Plutarch's Synthesis

Plutarch's recording of this myth represents his attempt to decode Egyptian religious symbolism through Greek philosophical understanding. He recognized that the seemingly violent mythological narrative actually encoded sophisticated astronomical observations and cosmic principles. The number 17 serves as the critical transition point between lunar fullness and lunar decline, making it both astronomically significant and mythologically ominous.

This connection demonstrates how ancient civilizations embedded precise astronomical knowledge within religious narratives, using mythological frameworks to preserve and transmit scientific understanding across generations. The number 17's role as the "barrier" day reflects both mathematical precision and cosmic awareness that characterized ancient Egyptian astronomical science.

If people believe in this idea then privacy is dead and you might as well go everywhere naked, leave your front door unlocked, your window shutters open, and show everyone you know your bank statements. Just because there is surveillance doesn't mean it can't be guarded against or your data protected. Spend some time studying digital privacy and information security. It's well worth it.

I used to get the pat downs. Now I just don't fly. Road trips are fun, and I don't have to worry about airport crowds, luggage check, making sure I don't have a pocket knife on me, getting a ride to/from the airport, catching connecting flights, I can carry as much as I want, take as much time as I want, visit cool hole in the wall places along the way, and it's a lot less stressful. I would only fly if I could skip TSA and get a private charter jet, and I'm not that rich.

Technically a valid contract must be a meeting of the minds, so if you don't understand ("stand under") the contract, it should not be enforceable.

The real trick is to sign but reserve your common law rights by adding "without prejudice" or "UD" (under duress) or "VC" (vi coactus - latin for "having been forced") next to your signature. It's a legal notation that indicates the signer's unwilling participation in the contract.

I saw a video about this too where somebody went through VAERS data correlated to death figures and showed that the companies all obviously colluded. They made it look like the more deadly batches were random so no single company would get all the heat.

It was great! I drove about 35 hours to get there. I had other reasons for making the trip, taking care of some personal things along the way, so going to GART made it all worth it. It was my second time attending and the first one felt bigger but this one I recognized people and met a lot of new people. It was a smaller venue but nice location and it was just fun hanging out with the Badlanders.
