Eighty-five years ago this month, on September 1, 1939, under the reign of Reichschancellor Adolf Hitler, Germany invaded Poland. In a systematic campaign of obfuscation, denial, and historical revisionism, the Allied victors have consistently ignored the truth of events leading up to this invasion, including a century of geopolitical tensions, diplomatic hurdles, ethnic conflicts, territorial disputes, vindictive reparations, and hastily redrawn boundaries with no consideration for preventing future conflict.

Western history books, relying on sanitized government documents, selective sources, and propaganda, have erased significant truths to claim the grounds for a Second World War were unavoidable. Nothing could be further from the truth—as the eminent historian of this great conflict David Irving noted, "Perhaps, this war was more pointless than the First World War and most certainly should have been avoided."

In the post-World War I years, Germany suffered immensely under the punitive measures imposed by the Treaty of Versailles. The British blockade, which persisted even after the armistice, led to widespread famine and suffering for millions of Germans. This period of deprivation was compounded by the hyperinflation that crippled the German economy, making necessities unaffordable. The harsh reparations demanded by the Allies were impossible to meet, and the German people paid the price. The French occupation of the Ruhr in 1923 further exacerbated the situation, as French forces extracted German iron and coal resources to enforce reparation payments, treating the ethnic German population with contempt and brutality.

In the east of Germany, the situation was no less dire. The Treaty of Versailles severed East Prussia and the German city of Danzig from the rest of Germany by creating the Polish Corridor, a strategic land strip giving Poland access to the Baltic Sea. This move not only isolated German communities but also sowed deep resentment and ethnic tension. In these isolated regions, the interwar years saw atrocities committed against ethnic Germans by the Polish population, events that have been largely ignored or erased from the official historical record.

After World War I and the Treaty of Versailles, the ethnic German population in Poland faced increasing hostility and methodical dispossession of land. The regions of Upper Silesia and West Prussia, where Germans had been established for centuries, were particularly affected by these new political and social pressures. Throughout the 1920s, Polish authorities enacted policies that allowed for the confiscation of German-owned farms under the guise of agrarian reform. This was part of a broader effort to undermine German influence and force their emigration.

One official German document notes that "German settlers had lost 1.3 million acres of land due to the one-sided agrarian reforms unilaterally applied against Germans." These seizures stripped German farmers of their livelihoods, and by the end of the 1930s, nearly 1.2 million Germans had been driven from their homes. Many left Poland altogether, pushed out by a state-sanctioned campaign that offered no legal recourse. The Polish government, far from protecting the property rights of its German minority, actively supported these reforms, which were part of a wider strategy to erase German cultural and economic presence in these regions.

The 1930s saw continued land seizures but also a deliberate campaign to economically cripple German-owned businesses in Poland. Beginning in 1933, regions such as Posen and West Prussia became the focal points for boycotts against German enterprises. Local Polish officials, with encouragement from the national government, canceled orders from German businesses, raised taxes to unsustainable levels, and withdrew business permits. These measures amounted to economic warfare. Thousands of German enterprises were destroyed, reducing once-thriving business owners to poverty. "German enterprises and independent German businesses had been systematically destroyed by the cancellation of orders, boycott, by taxes rigorously calculated," as the records from these years reveal. The intention was clear: force the Germans into financial ruin, which would either lead to their economic submission or prompt them to leave Poland.

By the mid-1930s, the anti-German sentiment in Poland had grown increasingly violent. Ethnic Germans were not just economically targeted but physically attacked, often with no provocation other than their ethnicity. In 1934, the town of Pless witnessed one of the more brutal pogroms against its German residents. Mobs of Polish civilians, encouraged by local officials, descended upon German homes, setting them on fire and looting them with impunity. When Germans attempted to defend their property, they were met with violence. Several Germans were killed in these attacks, beaten to death, or shot by the angry crowds.

Eyewitness testimony described the terror as "Germans were attacked in the open country, in their homes, and on their farms... Germans were the victims of insane incitement, leading to a state of boycott, terror, and direct danger to life." Despite the severity of these incidents, the Polish government refused to prosecute the perpetrators. The violence was dismissed as the inevitable result of local anger, and no arrests were made. This attitude reflected the broader Polish government policy, which viewed ethnic Germans with suspicion and hostility, treating them as fifth columnists rather than citizens deserving of protection.

In 1937, the situation grew even more perilous for the German minority. Friedrich Lorenz, a German citizen in Bromberg, was one of many ethnic Germans falsely accused of spying for Germany. Arrested by Polish soldiers, he was beaten severely during his detention and then shot without trial. His story was one of many similar accounts in which ethnic Germans were accused of espionage or sabotage based on little or no evidence. As one observer noted, "Germans were arrested without a reason being given, and carried off to the police station...they were severely ill-treated on their way to or from the police station and in the prison cells."

Lorenz's death was not an isolated incident. Across Poland, Germans were frequently arrested on baseless charges and subjected to violence in detention. The Polish government did nothing to curb these abuses, and indeed, many of these incidents were overlooked or even condoned by local authorities. The climate of fear and persecution for the German minority was now firmly entrenched, with little hope for legal protection.

By 1939, the violence reached a fever pitch as war loomed. In the weeks leading up to the German invasion, ethnic Germans in Poland became targets of organized and brutal attacks. In August 1939, the village of Slonsk witnessed one of the more horrific massacres of the period.

Polish soldiers from the 63rd Infantry Regiment rounded up the entire male population of the town and executed them. Their bodies were mutilated, and their families were forced to flee, abandoning their homes and property to looters. Many of these families had lived in the area for centuries. This massacre was part of a broader pattern of violence in which German villages were attacked, their residents either killed or forced into exile. Women and children, if they survived, were left destitute, their homes burned and their possessions stolen. The German population was left to fend for itself in the face of escalating violence.

Testimony from survivors during this time paints a grim picture of life for ethnic Germans in Poland. One witness recalled how "everywhere they slunk around us and watched us," describing the constant fear of being arrested or attacked. Another survivor recounted how they narrowly escaped being shot by Polish soldiers after claiming to be Polish. The witness later described the situation as "a perpetual state of anxiety...no one was any longer sure of his life." These personal accounts reflect the terror experienced by the German minority, who were hunted, arrested, and in many cases, executed without trial. Despite the growing international attention to the situation in Poland, the violence against Germans continued unabated. From the end of World War I until the German invasion of Poland in September 1939, ethnic Germans faced nearly two decades of escalating violence, property seizure, and persecution.

General Otto Ernst Remer: "Why did you really attack Poland? Couldn't you have been more patient?"

Hitler: "You are mistaken. I knew as early as March 1939 that Roosevelt had determined to bring about a world war, and I knew that the British were cooperating in this, and that Churchill was involved. God knows that I certainly did not want a world war. That's why I sought to solve the Polish problem in my own way with a kind of punishment expedition, without a declaration of war. After all, there had been thousands of murders of ethnic Germans and 1.2 million ethnic German refugees. What should I have done? I had to act. And for that reason, four weeks after this campaign, I made the most generous offer of peace that any victorious leader could ever have made. Unfortunately, it wasn't successful."

Germany went to great lengths seeking avenues to peacefully resolve the territorial and ethnic issues that had resulted from the Treaty of Versailles provisions. On January 26, 1934, a German-Polish agreement was reached, intended to ensure lasting peace between the two nations. Adolf Hitler and Polish Marshal Piłsudski brokered this accord, temporarily calming tensions. However, the forces of reconciliation were quickly undermined. Extremist factions in Poland and hostile forces from Britain and France worked covertly to sabotage the diplomatic efforts, ensuring that the latent hostility between the two countries would not dissipate. Even as the agreement took effect, anti-German propaganda within Poland intensified. Despite these provocations, Hitler remained determined to pursue peaceful relations, with hopes of resolving long-standing grievances over territorial disputes caused by the Treaty of Versailles through diplomatic negotiations.

On February 24, 1934, Germany made further efforts to foster an atmosphere of cooperation and moral disarmament by signing a media agreement with Poland. The aim was to temper the rising anti-German sentiment that was being fueled by extremist Poles and their media outlets, which increasingly incited public opinion against Germans. As the document details, the Reich pressed Warsaw's media to honor the agreement and to cease the inflammatory rhetoric. However, these efforts were met with resistance. Despite Hitler's repeated gestures, the Polish press and military circles, influenced by Britain and France, grew more hostile, and the situation began to deteriorate. Polish officials refused to adhere to the agreed media protocols, and no significant measures were taken to curb the anti-German rhetoric. The German minority in Poland faced escalating violence and intimidation, as Hitler continued to push for diplomatic solutions. Nevertheless, these efforts were largely ignored by the Polish government.

In 1937 and 1938, the situation worsened, as Poland increasingly breached the terms of the German-Polish pact regarding the protection of minorities. On November 5, 1937, Germany attempted once again to address the brewing tensions diplomatically, but the Polish response was evasive. Colonel Józef Beck, Poland's Foreign Minister, refused to engage meaningfully with the German overtures. One of Hitler's key concerns was the status of the German city of Danzig and the issue of the Polish Corridor, which separated East Prussia from the rest of Germany. Despite Hitler's attempts to raise these concerns in a friendly manner, Beck's stance remained rigid. Poland's refusal to entertain any discussion on these issues was further stiffened by support from Britain, whose assurances of military backing gave Poland the confidence to reject any form of negotiation.

On October 24, 1938, Germany proposed a settlement to Poland, aiming to annex Danzig, a League of Nations protectorate with a 90% German population that elected a National Socialist majority parliament in May of 1933. The proposal included constructing a superhighway and railroad to East Prussia, granting Poland a permanent free port in Danzig, and allowing Poland to build its own highway and railroad to the port with no foreign tariffs levied against Polish exports.

Germany also offered to guarantee Poland's frontiers, including the contested 1922 Upper Silesia boundary, and renounce claims to territories like West Prussia and Western Posen, which had been awarded to Poland by the Versailles Treaty. Despite this incredibly fair and generous settlement offer, the Polish government took over five months to respond, and on March 26, 1939, Polish Ambassador Joseph Lipski formally rejected the proposal, warning that any further pursuit, particularly regarding the return of Danzig to Germany, would lead to war with Poland.

On April 28, 1939, Adolf Hitler made a final significant peace offer during a speech to the Reichstag. He proposed a comprehensive settlement with Poland, which would have peacefully resolved the Danzig and Polish Corridor disputes. Hitler's offer was described as a "unique offer for compromise," and it was framed as a genuine attempt to avert war. In this speech, Hitler laid out the terms of the settlement, but despite the diplomatic tone, the response from Poland was a categorical rejection. British influence played a crucial role in this outcome. British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain had provided Poland with a "blank cheque," assuring full military support in case of any German aggression. The guarantee effectively encouraged Poland to dismiss Hitler's peace proposal entirely. Rather than considering a compromise, Poland, now confident in Britain's backing, continued to prepare for a potential conflict, believing that the Western powers would protect them.

Throughout the spring and summer of 1939, Germany's diplomatic efforts persisted, even as the political climate became increasingly hostile. The German government repeatedly sought to open channels of negotiation, but each attempt was met with Polish intransigence. Colonel Beck and his government, emboldened by Britain's unyielding support, believed that they had little reason to make concessions.

The 1934 German-Polish Non-Aggression Pact had initially sought to stabilize relations between the two nations, but by the late 1930s, Poland was in clear violation of this agreement. Economic sanctions were imposed on the German minority, and businesses were boycotted. Prominent historian David Irving notes in Hitler's War that these actions were a direct provocation, violating the terms of the pact and worsening the already tense situation. Despite this, Hitler continued to propose peaceful resolutions, but all offers were met with rejection, further escalating tensions.

The Western powers played a crucial role in shaping Poland's response. British and French diplomats, particularly through Neville Chamberlain's government, strongly advised Poland against negotiating with Germany. As Irving outlines, these diplomatic maneuvers were designed to confront Hitler indirectly, using Poland as a pawn to provoke a wider conflict. The British "blank cheque" to Poland effectively emboldened the Polish government to take an uncompromising stance.

Even after the invasion began, Hitler continued his efforts to resolve the conflict diplomatically. In a speech on October 6, 1939, he offered the creation of a new Polish state and sought to settle the territorial disputes without further conflict. However, both Poland and its Western allies quickly dismissed these overtures, ensuring that the war would expand beyond Poland. According to Irving, these rejections were not based on Poland's calculations but on the strategic decisions of Britain and France, who saw Poland as a tool to provoke Germany into a broader European war.

The historical erasure of Britain's involvement in the negotiations that pushed Poland away from any meaningful settlement is common in Western educational curricula. Under Colonel Beck's direction, the Polish government rejected every overture made by Hitler, believing that Britain's support would guarantee their security in the event of war.

Not only did Poland spur every peace offering and resolution proposal by Germany, but the military dictatorship took an actively hostile stance. On March 23, 1939, Poland issued a threat to Germany by initiating a partial mobilization of its forces, calling up hundreds of thousands of army reservists. The Polish government warned Hitler that not only was his reasonable offer for a Danzig settlement outright rejected, but they were prepared to go to war to prevent the return of Danzig to Germany. Despite this aggressive stance, the Poles were surprised to find that Germany did not take their challenge seriously. Hitler, who strongly desired a friendly relationship with Poland, decided not to respond to the threat of war. Germany refrained from making any counter-threats or taking any precautionary military measures in reaction to the Polish mobilization.

In the months leading up to the conflict, Polish atrocities against ethnic Germans never subsided but only increased. As tensions mounted between Germany and Poland, the Polish government's policies became more aggressive, and the violence against the German minority intensified. In the weeks before September 1, 1939, ethnic Germans in Poland faced organized attacks, harassment, and murder, especially in regions like West Prussia, Posen, and Upper Silesia. The crescendo of these attacks was indicative of the deteriorating situation, with anti-German sentiment encouraged by Polish officials and nationalist groups.

In the summer of 1939, Polish civilians and military personnel openly threatened Germans with extermination. On multiple occasions, Germans were arrested without any charges, beaten, and sometimes murdered. A young German man named Gerhard Grieger expressed his growing fear just days before his death: "I have a terrible feeling, I feel as though I am being perpetually watched, and think it would be the best thing to clear out." Grieger was murdered soon after, one of many German civilians caught in the wave of escalating violence.

These atrocities, far from being isolated incidents, reflected a broader climate of violence and persecution that had been growing throughout the 1930s. German families were terrorized in their homes, and targeted by mobs and soldiers alike. Some 80,000 ethnic Germans of an estimated 1.2 million residing in Danzig and Polish territory fled west to Germany for safety and protection in 1939 alone. Many had lost their homes to "expropriation" of land and property by the Polish Government, which paid an eighth of the value and specifically targeted the land of ethnic Germans.

By August 1939, the tension had reached an unbearable level. The British were aware of the detailed violence and targeting of ethnic Germans and the precarious situation and made every effort to keep the temperature of hostilities against Germany elevated. On August 24, 1939, British Ambassador Nevile Henderson in Berlin warned Foreign Secretary Halifax about the dire situation, emphasizing that German complaints of Polish aggression were well-founded. Henderson stressed that war between Poland and Germany was inevitable unless negotiations resumed and Britain actively criticized and condemned Polish actions. However, Henderson was unaware that Halifax sought war as a policy tool, and by some historical accounts was aiming for the total destruction of Germany as early as 1936.

The following day, August 25, 1939, Henderson reported to Halifax about a Polish atrocity in Bielitz, Upper Silesia, where eight Germans were murdered, and many were injured during forced deportations to the center of Poland. Henderson, relying on neutral sources, feared this incident might push Hitler to invade Poland. He recognized Hitler's dilemma—doing nothing would abandon Germans in Poland and the city of Danzig to further violence while taking action could provoke Britain and France into declaring war. Henderson, who desired peace, lamented the British government's failure to restrain Polish authorities.

British diplomat Roy Denman called the war guarantee to Poland "the most reckless undertaking ever given by a British government. It placed the decision on peace or war in Europe in the hands of a reckless, intransigent, swashbuckling military dictatorship." American historian Richard M. Watt wrote of Britain's unilateral guarantee to Poland, "For Britain to give such a blank check to a Central European nation, particularly to Poland—a nation that Britain had generally regarded as irresponsible and greedy—was mind-boggling." No foreign policy as wreckless and misguided as the guarantees Britain made to Poland in 1939 had ever been made to any foreign nation in the entire history of the British Empire. Given Hitler's many offerings at peace and resolution, the British 'black cheque' did nothing less than perhaps serve the purpose for which it was meant—to guarantee another World War.

Once Germany invaded, it became a green light for Polish civilians and military personnel, with the full endorsement of their government, to terrorize the German population. On September 3, 1939, one of the most horrific incidents unfolded in Bromberg (Bydgoszcz), often referred to as "Bloody Sunday." According to German estimates, approximately 7,000 ethnic Germans were killed by Polish civilians and soldiers in a brutal and coordinated attack.

Dorothea Radler, a 14-year-old girl, witnessed the brutal murder of her family at the hands of Polish soldiers. Polish troops arrived at the Radler household and forcibly removed her brother Fritz, aged 19. Moments later, a gunshot rang out, and Fritz's lifeless body was found nearby. When her father, Artur Radler, rushed outside to help, he was driven back into the house by a Polish officer, who struck him with a whip and threatened him. The following day, September 4, the soldiers returned and shot Dorothea's younger brother, Heinz, as he attempted to flee into the garden. Heinz was shot twice, once through the head. The soldiers then turned their attention to Artur. They shot him in the throat, leaving a gaping wound. He lived for another five agonizing hours, during which the soldiers refused him any aid. When Artur begged them to end his suffering with a bullet, they cruelly mocked him, telling him, "You can lie there and rot!" The crowd jeered as he lay dying. Finally, one soldier took pity and shot Artur through the temple, ending his agony.

On the same day in Bromberg Charlotte Korth, a widow, testified about the brutal death of her husband, Max Korth. Max, a former German officer in World War I, had hidden in the air-raid shelter of a Polish house, hoping to evade capture. Unfortunately, the Polish owner, Sionon Janek, betrayed him by pointing him out to soldiers. Max was dragged out into the street, where he was bayoneted in the temple. Charlotte later found her husband's mutilated body lying in the street.

On September 4, 1939, at the Jesuitersee, just south of Bromberg, a large group of German men, including Gustav Gruhl and Leo Reinhard, were rounded up by Polish soldiers and led to the site of their execution. Although Gruhl and Reinhard managed to escape and survive, thirty-nine other ethnic Germans were shot and killed by Polish forces. The executions were carried out without trial, and the men were left to die in the fields. Many of these victims were found days or weeks later, their bodies mutilated, often having been tortured before death.

After Germany steamrolled into Poland, inquiries began into these atrocities as eyewitnesses and survivors came forward. At several POW camps set up for Polish military personnel in East Prussia, the Germans conducted investigations, searching for Poles suspected of being involved in the so-called "Bydgoszcz Bloody Sunday." The investigation led to the summary execution of 50 soldiers of the Polish Bydgoszcz National Defence Battalion on September 22^nd, 1939. To this day the Polish government considers these executions as evidence of German war crimes against Poland during and after the invasion.

Britain and France's guarantees to Poland in 1939 placed the nation in a precarious position, emboldening its leadership to reject Hitler's diplomatic offers regarding Danzig and the Polish Corridor. Confident in Western support, Poland adopted a hardline stance and intensified its persecution of ethnic Germans, believing that Britain and France would defend it in the event of a conflict. Britain and France used Poland as a pawn in their larger strategy to provoke a war with Germany, knowing that Poland alone could not stand against Hitler's forces.

When Germany invaded on September 1, 1939, the Western powers declared war, but their promises of aid to Poland were hollow. Britain and France provided little direct assistance during the invasion, leaving Poland overrun. Poland caught between German ambitions and the Western desire to confront Hitler on their terms, became the victim of a calculated geopolitical strategy. The guarantees from Britain and France were designed more to bait Hitler into war than to protect Poland, ultimately sacrificing the nation in the early stages of World War II.

In a stark example of history repeating itself, the events in Ukraine from 2014 to the present echo the tragic precedents set in 1930s Poland with the Danzig Corridor crisis, where media propaganda, ethnic persecution, and geopolitical maneuvering laid the groundwork for conflict. Just as Polish leaders, encouraged by Western powers, victimized and oppressed their ethnic German population in the Danzig Corridor, Ukraine—with significant backing from the United States—launched an aggressive campaign against its ethnic Russian citizens following the Maidan coup.

In 2014, the Maidan uprising, which resulted in the overthrow of President Viktor Yanukovych, was heavily supported by the U.S. government, with American-CIA involvement evident through the rapid emergence of new media outlets like Hromadske TV, Espreso TV, and 1+1 Media Group. Funded by USAID, a State Department front group, and figures like George Soros, these channels became instrumental in spreading anti-Russian propaganda, much like the Polish government in the 1930s used its media to demonize ethnic Germans and provoke tensions with Germany.

This media-driven campaign in Ukraine was aimed at fostering a sense of Ukrainian nationalism, a calculated effort to engineer sentiments against the ethnic Russian community. The government implemented laws restricting the use of the Russian language in schools by 2017, removed Russian textbooks, and eventually made Ukrainian the mandatory language of instruction across all public sectors. This cultural repression mirrored the actions taken by Poland against its German minority, fueling resentment and setting the stage for broader conflict.

The Odessa Trade Unions House massacre on May 2, 2014, wasn't on the scale of the Bromberg massacre but signified an escalation in separatist warfare. In a scenario reminiscent of the ethnic violence in the Danzig Corridor, pro-Russian demonstrators in Odessa were cornered by Ukrainian nationalists and burned alive in a fire that claimed 48 lives and injured 120 others. This atrocity, sent a clear message of intolerance and retribution, further deepening the divide between the Ukrainian state and its Russian-speaking citizens.

Just as the Polish government's actions in the Danzig Corridor provided Hitler with the pretext for his invasion, Ukraine's suppression of its ethnic Russian population—amplified by media propaganda and supported by NATO's eastward expansion—played into Russia and Putin's 'red line' narratives and justified its military interventions in Donbas and Crimea.

In the aftermath of its separation from normalized relations with Russia, the Ukrainian government intensified efforts to erase Russian cultural and linguistic influence. In January 2015, it passed a law banning Communist and Soviet symbols, removing monuments and symbols significant to the ethnic Russian community. This assault on Russian identity continued with the September 2017 education law, which limited the Russian language in schools, making Ukrainian the dominant language of instruction.

From 2021 to 2023, Ukraine's measures against ethnic Russians and the Russian Orthodox Church became increasingly draconian. In August 2021, the Ukrainian government began an intensified crackdown on political parties perceived as pro-Russian, silencing the "Opposition Platform – For Life" party under accusations of undermining the state's sovereignty. This purge of political dissent left the ethnic Russian population without a voice in the political sphere.

The situation reached a critical point in February 2022 with Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. In response, the Ukrainian government intensified its repression. In April 2022, authorities banned the activities of the Russian Orthodox Church, particularly targeting institutions linked to the Moscow Patriarchate. Churches were seized, and religious figures were silenced, further alienating the Russian Orthodox community.

May 2022 saw the enforcement of laws that effectively banished the Russian language from public life. Education, media, and government services were purged of Russian, completing the cultural erasure of the Russian-speaking population. In March 2023, new laws were passed to further suppress the influence of Russian-aligned churches and clergy, cutting the remaining ties to Moscow. By July 2023, Ukraine had imposed harsh restrictions on Russian media outlets and cultural organizations, eradicating Russian symbols and content, and leaving no trace of Russian influence in Ukrainian society.

Just as with Germany and Poland, any attempts at brokering a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine have been hampered by British and American desires to keep the conflict raging at all costs.

As with the origins of World War Two, the Western alliance of the so-called "liberal rules-based order" would have their populations believe that Russia was the aggressor against Ukraine for 'no reason at all,' just as Germany invaded Poland for 'no reason at all,' and Putin like Hitler before him is some kind of a maniacal dictator with intentions of conquering neighboring countries, for 'no reason at all.'

However, as we have just explored, there are significant reasons— one could argue understandable motivations for the invasion of Poland and Ukraine. To accept there was 'no reason at all' would demonstrate a complete ignorance of the historical facts.

Time discovers truth.

— Seneca

USS Liberty (1967)

On June 8, 1967, during the 6-Day War, Israel attacked the USS Liberty with unmarked planes and torpedo boats, killing 34 sailors and injuring 121 more. Israel knew it was a U.S. ship, and attacked it anyway. The U.S. government and its corporate media lackeys have spent 55 years covering up the truth of this incident. There is no recognition or memorial to those who were deliberately murdered. Why was the USS Liberty attacked? It likely intercepted radio communications of the Israeli mass execution of unarmed Egyptian POWs.

"I could not care less about a few dead sailors, I will not embarrass my ally Israel."

— Lyndon B Johnson during the USS Liberty attack

As a junior congressman from Texas in the late 1930s, it is rumored that LBJ ran weapons and grenade shipments (in crates marked as fruits) to Jewish terrorist organizations in Palestine preparing the area for the Post-WW2 Rothschild-funded nation of Israel by ethnically cleansing Palestinians. I went searching for the source of this claim, an article I read some months ago citing a rare book but was unable to find it and I can't recall the title. (If any Good Citizen knows, please leave it in the comments or reply to this post.)

The first Zionist terrorist group in the region The Haganah was formed in 1920 after the Balfour declaration gave the go-ahead for Jews to settle in Palestine on Rothschild-owned land in the British mandate. The group was ordered not to attack Arabs indiscriminately and cooperated heavily with the British security forces in Mandatory Palestine. This irked some members of the group which led to the creation of the more indiscriminately violent Irgun and Lehi groups.

In 1937 Heinrich Himmler went to the region to discuss with prominent Zionists the continued resettlement of thousands of Jews in Nazi labor camps through their transfer agreement (Havaara Agreement), but the British refused Himmler's arrival and sent him back to Germany. By the late 1930s Arabs began to revolt against Jewish settlements, while these Jewish terrorist organizations began to target the British who stopped the resettlement of Jews and were trying to quell violence against Arabs. They bombed their central headquarters at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, killing over a hundred British nationals including civilian employees. In 1944, the Lehi even assassinated Lord Moyne in Cairo, British Ambassador to the Middle East.

In 1948, through terror, genocide, and extortion, they finally got their Rothschild state. Under the Israeli flag, with unlimited resources from their new host empire (the red, white, and bruised) this parasitic nation continues its genocidal operation for its Greater Israel Project. Stay with me, this is all threaded together in the Kosher historical 9-11 cloth.

For those evangelical Christians (Scofield dupes) who buy the Zionist lie that there was never a Palestine.

Philip F. Nelson wrote a book with evidence implicating Zionist puppet Johnson in the assassination of JFK, most likely a joint CIA-Mossad operation. Governor Connally of Texas was in the front seat of the motorcade at the time, but he was also LBJ's campaign manager when he ran for the Senate in 1941. Under the auspices of a "business" trip to their home turf hosted by the head of the local Dallas B'nai Brith Sam Bloom, they lured JFK to his assassination.

With JFK out of the way, Israel went on to develop nuclear weapons, stealing uranium from the United States with help from a Zionist-infiltrated FBI and CIA as documented in Stealing The Atom Bomb: How Denial And Deception Armed Israel by Dr. Roger Mattson. They also didn't have to register their American Zionist Council (precursor to AIPAC) as a foreign agent buying American politicians. In the year after the USS Liberty "incident," U.S. foreign aid to Israel increased from $23M to $106M and to $120M by 1970.

What message did that send to Israel?

If we can own the executive office of the United States by whatever bloody means at our disposal, then we can own and control all politicians in Washington D.C., and the more they are threatened or attacked by enemies of our creation, the more money we get toward our Greater Israel project.

I reported that Marines had been sent there to become the focus of a major incident. The Mossad is to arrange for a number of our Marines to be killed in an incident that will be blamed on Arabs. This will be used to inflame American public opinion to help us lead into war including ultimately nuclear war.

U.S. Marine Barracks Bombing Lebanon (1983)

Sixteen years after the USS Liberty attack, the first contemporary incident of what we know as "suicide bombing" occurred in Beirut, Lebanon. A truck filled with explosives drove into the barracks housing military personnel. The explosion killed 241 U.S. service members, mostly Marines, making it one of the deadliest attacks on U.S. forces overseas.

In Victor Ostrovsky's book on the Mossad, By Way of Deception (1990)—he claims that Nahum Admoni, the Mossad director at the time, had precise information about the truck being prepared for the attack on the U.S. Marines and when it might occur, but had intentionally withheld this crucial information from the U.S. military.  "No, we're not there to protect Americans. They're a big country. Send only the regular information," Admoni reportedly said. Before September 11, 2001, the Mossad convinced Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to cancel his scheduled travel to Washington.

The purpose of the "false flag" attack in Lebanon was to create U.S. animosity toward the Arab world and align the U.S. with Israel, according to Ostrovsky. There had been an earlier car bomb at the U.S. Embassy in Beirut on April 18, 1983, which had killed seventeen Marines. The bombing compelled the Marines to move offshore and President Reagan ordered them to be withdrawn from the region in early 1984.

Gulf War I (1991)

Kuwait is one of the most oil-rich countries on earth.

It became a British protectorate in 1899 when the ruling family signed an agreement with the British Empire to gain protection from the Ottoman Empire. In return, Britain assumed control of Kuwait's foreign affairs and defense. Kuwait's status as a British protectorate lasted until it gained independence in 1961.

After the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and the 1967 war, thousands of Palestinians were forced to move to Kuwait seeking better opportunities. By the 1970s, they had become the largest expatriate group, numbering around 300,000. By 1990, the Palestinian population had grown to 450,000, playing a crucial role in Kuwait's workforce.

In 1991, Saddam Hussein accused Kuwait of "stealing Iraq's oil" through pipelines that, according to him, siphoned valuable crude from Iraqi territory near their shared border. He voiced these grievances to the international community and warned of military action if the issue was not addressed. In the weeks leading up to the invasion, the United States signaled that it would not intervene militarily, giving Hussein the impression that he had the green light to resolve the matter by force. This turned out to be a strategic trap.

Cue the atrocity propaganda tours, media hysteria, hero generals, congressional hearings with phony witnesses actors crying about babies in incubators, and CNN asshatery from a fake Saudi Arabia set in Atlanta.

During the Gulf War, Palestinians supported Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait as they were influenced by PLO leader Yasser Arafat's backing of Iraq. Every night Americans were presented illusions on their programming boxes that Israel was under constant threat from Iraq with scud missiles that had no targeting systems or any advanced hardware. It was another psyop to drum up American support for "their greatest ally."

After the liberation of Kuwait, the U.S. and its allies Israel played a significant role in the expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from the country. The U.S. got to test its new and improved military after two decades of wallowing in the failures of Vietnam. They also got Kuwait's oil again for cheap while Israel got Arafat's people expelled from what had been their new host country.

When you see normies like Jordan Schachtal write, "Muh, nobody wanted the Palestinians, not even other Arab states like Kuwait" it's because Israel controls those other Arab states via the economic and military proxy power of their host empire and their once-dominant petrodollar.

Islamic Terror (cui bono?)

"A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm" was a policy document published in 1996 by a group of American neocons led by Richard Perle (Israeli citizen) of Project For A New American Century. The authors included dual citizens of Israel and the United States—Douglas Feith, David Wurmser, and Meyrav Wurmser (born in Israel). The document was prepared for then (and still) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a set of recommendations to guide Israeli security and foreign policy.

The document called for a "clean break" from past policies, particularly the Oslo Peace Process. It advocated for a more aggressive stance toward neighboring Arab states, prioritizing a strategy of containment and preemptive action. It called for Israel to take the initiative in reshaping its regional environment, specifically recommending the overthrow of hostile regimes, including Iraq and Syria, and to isolate and diminish Iran's influence in the region.

These authors became essential in the Cheney (Bush Jr.) administration's post-911 foreign policy. The paper's recommendations have mirrored (to a T) U.S. foreign policy actions this century, almost as if it were a blueprint to control U.S. defense obligations for the benefit of Israel.

The results have been catastrophic for the U.S. taxpayer, American influence in the world, Arabs, Palestinians, and American servicemen and women. Keeping the idea of "Islamic Terrorism" as a serious threat in the psyche of the American people is still the priority of these lunatic neocons working for their beloved Zionist state. Unfortunately, millions of Americans still can't see how they're being used as sacrificial pawns on the Zionist chessboard.

200 Mossad Agents Stateside (1998-2001)

FBI and ATF released numerous strange reports and memos on Mossad agents operating across the U.S. in the years leading up to 9/11. Fox News even broadcasted a four-part special investigation by Carl Cameron in 2015 on the Israeli spy ring, including gathering intelligence about the "attacks" in the years before but refusing to share it. The reports state that Israelis under the cover of "art students" penetrated the Secret Service, IRS, FBI, ATF, US Customs, and military bases. The company that registered all telephone communications companies operating in the U.S. at the time—Odigo, a Mossad spy front—warned their employees in Manhattan that "something big was going to happen" on 9/11—several hours before the attacks.

Carl Cameron: "When they put all the evidence together how could they (Israel) not have known?"

Even when millions of Americans watched this on Fox News from their Barca loungers, did they still think "Israel is our greatest ally"?

Dancing Israelis The Insurance Policy

In the summer before the "dustification" event in lower Manhattan, the missile hitting the Pentagon's financial audit desks, and the giant hole with no plane debris in the Pennsylvania field, ownership of the World Trade Center complex of seven buildings changed hands. New owner Larry Silverstein admits to everything—a $4.4 Billion new insurance policy he took out on the complex, how his friend Elliot Spitzer helped him collect his money, and how as a vampire he cannot be in the sunshine and needed to see his dermatologist on the morning of September 11, instead of going to eat breakfast at the top of the north tower as he usually did. Cohencidence?

The Matrix is attacking this Substack! The censorship industrial complex is coming for me! Big Tech has banned me and woke cancel culture is doxing me and trying to ruin my life. I'm definitely NOT trying to emotionally manipulate you into supporting my work by convincing you I'm a threat to the system and they're targeting me. I'd never do something so insidious and distasteful to my loyal readers. /s

Pentagon: $2.3 Trillion Missing (Sept. 10, 2001)

Rumsfeld: "Governments can't die. So we need to find other ways to adapt and improve."

We need to find ways to print more money for our masters, which will require fear. So we will terrorize the population of tax slaves so they consent to a blank check "defense" program.

One day later a cruise missile hit the Pentagon, exactly where their financial audit and accounting desks were.

Pause at 1 second or 7 seconds to see the white cruise missile in the right frame. Full three-minute clip obtained by Judicial Watch available here.

CNN Reporter: From my inspection, there is no evidence of a plane hitting anywhere near the Pentagon.

Nobody ever talked about the missing $2.3 trillion again. The Patriot Act (written and waiting in the congressional cupboards before 9-11) was passed. Since then an additional $21 Trillion has "gone missing" according to a Political Science professor from the University of Michigan working in conjunction with Catherine Austin Fitts and her Solari Report. That report was released in 2017. Trillions more have "gone missing" since.

When I write on the description of this substack they are "looting the treasury" to bleed the empire dry, this is partly what I'm referring to. But it doesn't take a genius with a magnifying glass to see all the other ways—hyperinflation, $6 trillion for a hoax pandemic, $4 trillion for "infrastructure" including $7 billion to build four EV charging stations, $2 trillion for the Orwellian titled "inflation reduction act" which was a hidden green new deal, $100 Billion to Ukraine, $40 Billion to Israel this year alone to bomb children, $500 Billion spent on importing 10 million sub literate dependents in the past four years to bbq family pets and eat local waterfowl. The private federal reserve's balance sheet has ballooned from $3.5 Trillion to $9 Trillion in the past five years. It's all money laundering, looting, and theft, to extract the last value out of the dying US dollar and transfer it to themselves. By now you either see it clearly or you never will.

The Cover-Up Commission

No government act of terror against its citizens is complete without a "special commission." The commission's only duty is to act as an official body of investigators pretending to uncover information while suppressing evidence, distorting the facts, fabricating narratives, manipulating public perception, and whitewashing the entire scandal, acting as a well-organized misdirection and cover-up crew. The Corbett Report exposes this 9/11 Commission charade in this short documentary.

Bush was hesitant to appoint any commission at all. Why is that? Perhaps a painting inside Mossad's special bribery Paedo agent Jeffrey Epstein's $85 million Lower Eastside Manhattan townhouse holds some clues…

They knew.

They all knew.

Then they went and killed over a million Iraqis, Libyans, Syrians, Afghans, and American servicemen and women while looting $21 trillion.

Netanyahu, Bush, Cheney, and the cabal of neocons, neoliberals, businessmen, and dual passport holders with no loyalty but to money and their Talmudic world order all knew in advance of the attack on September 11, 2001, what would come next.

These people still walk free among us.

You and you fight. We'll profit from the desire of self-fulfilling prophecies and cult atrocities in the process.

3. The Prodding Trowel

In recent months the masses of Rockefelleducated indoctrinees have been contending with collective social distress rooted in a proverb of historicity that has stood since antiquity. It might be summarized as follows: one can know and propagate the victors' version of history, or one can know the truth and be its noble shepherd, but the two are rarely compatible.

Thucydides prefaced his History of The Peloponnesian War, with a similar sentiment. In his Annals, Tacitus observed, "Truth is confirmed by inspection and delay; falsehood by haste and uncertainty." How much uncertainty has there been about Western official narratives, from so many who repeat the same charge against its creators, "They lied to us about everything!"?

For every dozen screams of this claim, half will repeat it with conviction, until they encounter certain historical dogmas of fantasy fiction piled high where the true version of events remains buried. Their programming refuses to untangle the anomalous inconsistency that they lied to us about everything! Everything but…historical events in the 1930s and 1940s—that, well they didn't lie about that! And anyone who says so is a (insert insult here, often the same one used by the woke left—Nazi!). Indoctrinated Westerners appear intent on embracing that status, and lack the curiosity that fosters inspection of their sacred cows, upon which a prison for their mind has been constructed by those in power who created the towering walls and steel bars for their benefit.

Recent popular podcasts have revisited the historical Western mythos of demonstrable fantasies surrounding one of the most controversial subjects that should furnish no controversies in a free and open society eight decades separated from its conclusion. The so-called controversies around this global conflict are hardly elicited from any squabbling over the Allied invasion of Italy, Normandy, or North Africa. Nobody clenches their sphincter and grinds their teeth over any mention of Germany's conquest of Denmark and Norway for access to the Atlantic Ocean, Sweden's Iron Ore, and the only heavy water plant on the planet at Rjemork. Nobody EVER screams, "They occupied Denmark and Norway and put tens of thousands of Norwegians in camps! How dare you question the Norwegian victims of Nazi atrocities!!"

No mockery or scorn is elicited from questions about battles in the South Pacific. Christians did not cry about their religious fellows gathered at the Catholic Urukami Tenshudo church in Nagasaki at 11:02 am on August 9, 1945, before they were incinerated along with 90% of the 15,000 Christians living in the city at the time. Christians do not cry out for mass censorship for anyone who justifies this atrocity as "a necessity to save our boys," which surprisingly many still do. Do those who justify both atomic weapons massacres of innocent civilians know that another three bombs were planned for Japanese civilians through the rest of August, three more for September, and another for October of 1945, all in different civilian populated cities?

Do they know that before Little Boy and Fat Man, the U.S. firebombed Japanese cities indiscriminately killing hundreds of thousands of women and children and even hundreds of allied POWs in those cities? Did the Department of Civilian Incineration send official letters to the widows of these POWs saying, "Hey, sorry we firebombed your husband who was a prisoner of war in Kobe— it's a tough break sweetheart but we had to incinerate a few hundred thousand wood and paper mache homes for DuPont chemical with our new napalm toy to stop dangerous Jap women and children."? Or did they lie and say their husbands died fighting valiantly on some Pacific Island, taking out an entire Japanese bunker with a brave solo assault up a steep incline that turned the tide of a skirmish?

The construction of model Japanese homes in the Utah desert in 1943 matching those across Japan, served armament manufacturers well in determining what incendiary would burn the strongest and longest and inflict the most civilian casualties. On March 10, 1945, U.S. B-29 bombers dropped 1665 tonnes of incendiary bombs on tightly packed wooden and paper homes in Tokyo, burning 16 square miles for hours while melting the flesh off of over 110,000 Japanese civilians. As many Good Citizen Americans will recall from their formative years, Rockefeller Department of Education middle school history teachers often dedicate a whole month of curriculum to this tragedy and others like it, including the Diary of a young Japanese girl Aiko Tanaka.

The Japanese Americans had to wait another nine months after the Japanese surrendered unconditionally to find out how many of their kin were incinerated by DuPont napalm or flash burned into the concrete where the stood by Oppenheimer's radiation-shockwave-destroyer-of-worlds. It wasn't until the summer of 1946 that masonic stooge Truman freed the 120,000 from internment in concentration camps across seven U.S. states. Four years prior they had their assets, homes, businesses, and properties seized or sold at a fraction of their value. They were forced to abandon their properties and businesses, losing everything they had built.

Well, them Japs deserved it! They started it!

Did they?

Before fluoridated water calcified pineal glands, the American people were wisely and stubbornly isolationist and wanted nothing to do with the war in Europe or a conflict with Japan. The public sentiment was very much "America First" and to stay out of foreign entanglements, so a few thousand of "our boys"—seamen and airmen had to be sacrificed at Pearl Harbor. FDR and his administration spent nine months doing everything possible to bait the Japanese into attacking. Naval intelligence had already (partially) broken the "purple code" of Japanese communications that revealed heavy Japanese surveillance of Pearl Harbor in the months leading up to the attack. No less than fifty cables and diplomatic warnings came from a dozen allies starting in January of 1941—eleven months before the event. By November of 1941, FDR ordered the Red Cross Disaster Relief director to secretly prepare for massive casualties at Pearl Harbor because he was going to let it be attacked. When the director protested to the President, Roosevelt told him that "the American people would never agree to enter the war in Europe unless they were attacked within their own borders."

If all of these analogies seem ridiculous or built upon straw then I have not succeeded in making the simple point that historical claims that pass without dissent have usually withstood the test of scrutiny—while lies stir the noise of those whose power rests upon their foundations.

None of these historical facts regarding other areas of the global conflict provoke hysterical reactions and accusations of being a "Nazi!" However, mention anything about Hitler's dozen sensible peace proposals to Poland, Britain, and France, starting as early as 1934 to a rather bellicose Poland with a military dictatorship holding 1.5 million ethnic Germans hostage while seizing their property, and reinforce these facts with firsthand historical sources and you'll start to hear uncomfortable gurgling noises from programmed normies who are certain that every Hollywood movie and documentary on Hitler was a historical fact. He was the most evil man ever to walk the earth!

Ask people like Konstantin Kisin and Bari Weiss who really owned, groomed, and controlled Winston Churchill and made sure there would NEVER be peace on the European continent until Germany was burned to the ground and these sophists will vomit invectives at you as if you were sporting a Hugo Boss leather trench coat and a toothbrush mustache.

Germany is becoming too strong. We must crush her... You must understand that this war is not against Hitler or National Socialism but against the strength of the German people, which is to be smashed once and for all, regardless of whether it is in the hands of Hitler, or a Jesuit priest.

— Winston Churchill
Winston Churchill: His Career in War and Peace
Emrys Hughs

Some have called this behavior evidence of gospel for a modern Western religion, along with scientism. But make no mistake, this is cult behavior. Even many religious fundamentalists are secure enough in their beliefs, that if those beliefs are ever questioned they'll engage with the petitioner in clarifications, and if accused of falsehoods will defend their position or maybe not feel the need to defend anything and simply smile and walk away.

Why is there such a hostile and visceral reaction when certain topics around this global catastrophe from eight decades ago are broached?

What kind of cult feels so threatened by inquiry and the sharing of easily verifiable facts?

One whose decades of lies have built their structures and institutions of power and control over the Western masses?

4. Kneeling Crow Harrison Blows Through Wyoming in a Storm of Scandal

By Edward A. Fields, Special Correspondent
Daily True American
September 12, 1894

Wyoming, a land of vast plains and rugged mountains, finds itself entangled in a tempest that few could have foreseen: the arrival of Miss Kamari "Kneeling Crow" Harrison five years past. Her campaign for governorship, which might have been lauded as a bold stroke in another candidate, stirs a storm of scandal and intrigue.

Here, in the so-called Equality State—where women have held office since Esther Hobart Morris' appointment in South Pass City in 1870—Miss Harrison has taken a privilege bestowed in good faith and turned it into a carnival of licentious ambition better suited for a Saloon Strumpet.

For weeks, her public appearances have left audiences bewildered, and not in awe of any brilliance of mind or clarity of purpose. In Cheyenne, she recently bellowed to a gathering of curious onlookers, "We are unburdened by the territorial prosperity we embrace with vigor, and plant the seeds of unity across these lands, for what greater prosperity might come!"—words which, though grandiose, rang hollow in the ears of those who have long toiled in these rugged hills. Horace McAllister, a rancher from Laramie, remarked bitterly, "The woman talks circles around herself. There ain't a shred of sense in it. She's like a preacher with no God to speak of."

5. Some Bear Over The Rainbow

This started as a short note and grew from there beyond the word limit allowed, so I had no choice but to spend another few hours making it a post, which turned into a couple of days and is now a monster I can't control.

It's directed mostly at young Americans, Canadians, Australians, and Brits, or the adventurous Xoomer or Boomer out there.

Consider this similar to a long Twitter thread without all the hyperactive ADHD trips and ░M░Y░P░ U░S░S░ Y░I░ N░B░I░O ░ replies.

Americans and Westerners are fleeing to Russia in greater numbers. Why?

Let's start with simple reasons.

The cost of groceries in Russia to (pre) reinforce my coming points.

For more (pre) reinforcement, here's Tucker Carlson in Russia last winter doing the same thing.

"Coming to a Russian grocery store (the heart of evil) to see what things cost and how people live. It will radicalize you against our leaders."

Why are things so much cheaper in Russia?

This question has garnered much debate among Jon Leibowitz viewers (aka Jon Stewart) after he mocked Tucker while completely ignoring his points about Russia and out-of-control inflation in America. I was more surprised to find out people still watch Jon Liebowitz, than how low prices are in Russia.

Econ 101: cost of goods production and raw materials, plus manufacturing time, distance of goods traveled times price of a unit of energy transport per measure of distance, plus labor wages, plus retailer profit margin equals consumer prices. Something like that, I'm not going to look it up.

Inflation 101: the more money a government prints, the less value each unit of (already worthless) currency holds.

I put already worthless in parenthesis because money has always been just an illusion of value (formerly based on scarcity) for the exchange of goods and services now only backed by government force and power. Nothing more. Especially, since the gold standard was abandoned back in 1971, and even more so since the Saudi-agreed Petrodollar was abandoned back in June of this year.

Econ 001: If we all switched to currencies like Zcash and Monero (and silver bits for physical transactions), we could defeat this global cabal of a few thousand that have enslaved eight billion and we could do it in under a week, but that would be so easy, and most people are too busy flipping their thumb up a gorilla glass screen to be bothered with such meaningless decisions.

Econ 102: Russia has an abundance of energy. The cost of a gallon of petrol is currently $2.08 in Moscow, the most expensive city. In some parts, it's as low as $1.89. Amsterdam and other EU cities are sitting at $6-$7 per gallon, while on the Empire front, the average price is down to $3.55, though many highly-taxed blue states are looking at $4.70-$5.00.

Econ 666: Russian citizens don't need to buy a 4000-square-foot McMansion with 3000-square-foot basements to build a sarcophagus for themselves to be mummified in as a memorial to their stellar careers at Raytheon, Purdue Pharma, McKinsey, or any useless Federal department of managerial maggots. The people live much simpler lives. They don't have a choice. This means in addition to cheap energy they have lower labor costs.

The Boomers used to downgrade to a condo after retirement. Now they won't move out. The refuse. Some of them are upgrading to larger houses, it's insane! They will lord over their broke kids, who will come and stay in their nine empty-bedroom homes for the holidays that they bought for two hundred thousand, and remind their kids strapped with student loan debt every Thanksgiving that the house is now worth $2 million…and even on their death beds they will refuse to sell because it's the only thing that defines them. They'll be dying and the ambulance will be parked in the driveway, and they'll refuse to leave.

JRE 2077

Choice A: Live in the land of Palantir, Monsanto, Pfizer, Google, and Dow Chemical-bought paperboard McMansions with politicians who sign $4 trillion Orwellian titled spending bills, and an annual war budget to cover 189 overseas empire installations and pay $4.99 for a dozen eggs with a pale unappetizing Franken yellow center.

Choice Bear: Pay .99 cents for a dozen eggs with a normal orange healthy yoke.

American Good Citizens might remember those good old days of way, way, way back in 2019 when a dozen Frankeneggs cost only $2.29 and a gallon of petrol only .40 cents more, and sigh with nostalgia.

Since inflation results from government spending, and the U.S. government will spend until they destroy the dollar and empire (coming sooner than you think), and since inflation is compounding those egg and gas prices are never coming back…unless you keep chickens or move. If you keep chickens you'd better hope the bird flu psyop authorities don't come around with PCR tests and hatchets.

The Russia-U.S. divide is a bit more complicated than the price of eggs and petrol, so let's untangle some of that complication, smash its shell, and see what color the yoke is.

recently posted a video on a newly announced Russian policy of permitting Westerners to apply for 90-day visas without knowledge of Russian language, history, etc. which were previous impediments.

It's a sly political move to entice those in the West to escape the relentless hammer of the Synagogue of Satan's Globohomo takeover (see everything happening today). It also might be a trap to lure young unsuspecting foreigners to come fight for Russia. Still, we'll put that aside for the time being since Russia is not in any danger from Ukraine, nor short on soldiers, and the NAFO clowns know they cannot defeat Russia via their cocaine dwarf and his New Khazarian proxies.

The Reese video stirred a debate in the comments on Putin being part of the "cabal" and Russia part of the WEF agenda, and even some delusions of a past "communist" Russia existing today, still implanted in the American psyche as an evil place of "dictatorship" and "oligarchy" without any self-awareness or a hint of irony about where they live.

How many votes did Kamala Harris get in this year's Democrat primaries? 81 million?

Hint: it's the same number she got in the 2020 Democrat primaries.

Has her recent total corporate media propaganda makeover looked any less disturbing than what Russians witnessed last century in their Pravda media?

How many Billions will corporations and Oligarchs spend to own politicians this election cycle in the U.S. so they never have to spend a minute thinking about the American people they're supposed to represent?

Castro's bisexual paedo son Trudeau rules Canada with 27% of the vote. He seized protesters' bank accounts a few years back.

The feckless Labor turd just implanted into the 10 Downing Street toilet bowl "won" with 32% of the vote.

Poland's election was rigged last year with some new Globohomo party diverting younger generations away from the conservatives on virtue-signaling promises of being more "tolerant" and "accepting."

Selections are elections and elections are selections. Democracy is a farce, and even when it "worked" it has always been nothing more than a tyranny of the dumbed-down majority. Parliamentary democracies are the worst, and even constitutional republics are gone.

Back to the Empire where elections are probably rigged at the transmission control protocol lines.

AIPAC has a 100% success rate this primary cycle so far spending tens of millions of dollars given to them by US taxpayers to choose their candidates for them. Up from their previous record of 98%. Essentially, Israel runs the U.S., owns the U.S., and controls all their leaders through bribery and blackmail. Epstein was just the latest iteration but this shit has been going on for seventy years or longer.

How many thousands of political prisoners are rotting in DC gulags for a criminal Fed operation to entrap them? Why does the guy they were protesting for want to build the FBI a "big, beautiful, new headquarters"?

Are Americans not under constant mass digital surveillance, a kind of Silicon Valley/District of Criminals KGB that watches everything they do and read and watch and think, profiling them psychologically and politically? How is that being used against them now, or worse in the future?

I wrote about accusations against Russia by the U.S. after American companies ditched Russia en masse in February 2022 as some kind of pathetic virtual signaling operation. A thousand Western companies fled Russia on orders from their equity masters at Blackrock and the Tyrell Corp. though half of it was smoke and mirrors as many simply rebranded in Russia and shuffled some Delaware S-Corps to Cyrillic names based in Kazan or Ekaterinburg.

For much more on the side-by-side hypocrisy exposure of Western corporate and government clowns…

I also did a two-part series on escaping the Empire of Lies. Part I from two years ago doesn't explore Russia but gives my frame of thought on relocating today after living in 5 different EU countries after my empire escape 18 years ago (just after Abu Ghraib).

In Part 2 I explored obtaining second passports through heritage (it's easier than most people think) financial investment or simply moving to a country and applying for yearly visas, with a few digital nomad programs offered by countries in South America, Asia, and Europe.

Consider this an addendum to those.

In the wake of this clever announcement by Russia, young people who want to live the family life of homesteaders or small farmers should consider moving to Russia.

After a quick search on Avito.ru, a log home of 2400sf (220m2) and outbuildings on a lake and ten hectares (not in Siberia or near large urban centers) goes for $138,000. I spent less than 2 minutes searching. There were over a thousand results, though some more promising than others. The options for hectares of land zoned for construction were literally dirt cheap.

With a possible tax rate of 13% for specialized foreign workers, and maybe a path to citizenship over time this new Russian policy offers a fine escape from ever having to file papers to Tel Aviv's collection branch—the IRS while feeding the Fed, MIC, CDC, FDA, NSA, FBI, CIA, MI6, GCHQ, and all the entities that have declared war on the Western middle and working classes, while busily engaged in the project of replacing them with low-skilled barely literate foreigners that they must also subsidize.

It's the inverse of Europeans moving west in the 19th century. But, it's also a kind of Rubicon. In returning to the West to visit friends or family, deserters will most likely invite harassment and abuse from customs and alphabet agencies, probably putting people on watch lists. But then again, that only reinforces the point of moving.

Since I started this Substack I've done 95% of my online research on the Old Internet, which ironically is only offered by a Russian search engine, Yandex.com. While Google (a CIA outlet along with Fakebook) has erased the past so the past will be forgotten so that they can control the future.

As for Covid tyranny, Russia participated like most Western nations, and the the jab was mandated in many regions, but it was no worse than Canada, Australia, NZ, and the US (especially blue states), thanks to the help of most Western corporations.

The Russian people rejected it at rates nearly as impressive as Bulgaria and Slovakia in the EU, indicating they sniffed out the scam in greater numbers than all but two Slavic countries. There wasn't always a level of harshness to their mandates, not more so than Paris or New York. When it was mandated in some service sector jobs, people were allowed to change jobs if they didn't want to get it.

Could Rockefeller death industrial complex (DIC) doctors and nurses working for Blackrock-owned HMOs and health providers decline it and keep their jobs? How about Federal workers or military service members? What about teachers and even schoolchildren in most U.S. school districts?

To apply for a teaching job in Oregon through 2023 applicants still had to show proof of death jab injection. Many districts kept it in place after it was no longer a state mandate.

Yes, I know Russia is part of the multi-polar world order amusement plan but the people there distinctly represent an opposing worldview to the demons of the Synygogue's Globohomo, not unlike the people of the Balkans, and Central and Eastern Europe, which is where I chose to escape.

See Edward Slavsquat's substack for endless examples of Russia's participation in the Agenda 30 prison planet schemes. There are too many to list here.

On the flip side Russia Today is now reporting on Covid Vaccines and excess mortality by the millions. Have U.S. or European media ever said a word about covid vaccines and "healthcare" workers killing potentially up to 30 million as (plus Hickey and Linard's) 500+ page research shows?

Our calculated excess mortality rate (0.392 ± 0.002 %) corresponds to 30.9 ± 0.2 million excess deaths projected to have occurred globally for the 3 years 2020-2022, from all causes of excess mortality during this period.

We are compelled to state that the public health establishment and its agents fundamentally caused all the excess mortality in the Covid period, via assaults on populations, harmful medical interventions and COVID-19 vaccine rollouts.

We conclude that nothing special would have occurred in terms of mortality had a pandemic not been declared and had the declaration not been acted upon.

Alas, someone had to fake a pandemic to enflame depopulation and transhuman agendas and instigate the largest transfer of wealth in history from the bottom 80% up to the top 1%. Globohomo performer Musk's net worth (the amount of money the cabal permits one Billionaire to keep in exchange for his golden kneepad service) went from $44 Billion to $240 Billion in 18 months on the back of Blackrock-inflated Tesla stock holdings and his other highly subsidized scam companies.

That begs the question: If everyone lives in a global technocratic dictatorship everywhere, with varying degrees of coordinated shenanigans why does it matter where one homesteads and home-schools their children?

When thinking of the lack of opportunities for young Americans (especially white males) I'm reminded of that Chris Farley skit on SNL where he plays motivational speaker Matt Foley, who lives in a van down by the river!! People laughed because the idea of living in a van was pathetic in 1994. Nobody would ever advocate that as an aspiration for younger generations. Foley was a loser, an example of what not to become.

Yet over the past decade, they've sold van life and tiny home life to western Millennials and Zoomers as something cool and hip to aspire to, since the same powers promoting this lifestyle have made it so these younger generations cannot afford to put down roots anywhere to start a family.

The housing bubble insanity is more isolated to Canada and the US than Europe, as homeownership in many EU countries is accessible, encouraged, and even assisted by governments.

One of the examples I've given in the past is Finland which has incredibly affordable properties, with acreage, on lakes, and remote small farms and offers young first-time buyers matching assistance plans from ages 18-35 years. Each month young Fins can put aside whatever amount of money into a savings plan, up to 3500 Euros per year, that is matched by the government. Property is so inexpensive outside of undesirable urban areas in Finland, that only five years of savings would be enough for a fine homestead.

Young Fins can buy a relatively new starter home on 2.5 acres, surrounded by lakes and forests for 95,000 Euro. That doesn't even buy 70% of a van life sprinter in the U.S. anymore.

Did someone say "crazy high socialist taxes" in Finland? They have a progressive tax rate and the highest brackets only apply to the wealthiest. Also, it's how a government spends revenue that matters for the well-being of citizens. While direct labor taxation is theft, this system is going nowhere, so how that theft is later allocated matters more than anything.

Would you prefer to bail out banks after eliminating moral hazards (TARP, ZIRP, QE 1, QE 2, QE infinity) and bomb to smithereens 15,000 children in Gaza for the criminals in Israel and their whores in Congress, or would you prefer your government help first-time home buyers start their lives and a family in a home and not a tent on a sidewalk, for low crime rates, and social stability?

Compare the US tax rate during the most prosperous time in American history, when some relatively fiscally responsible people were in power (interested in paying down the war debt) to Finland today:

There are VAT, and municipal taxes, similar to state and sales taxes in the U.S., but what Fins get for their taxes compared to what Americans get today, is like comparing organic Honeycrisp apples to a flaming bag of dogshit burning inside the star of remphan in front of a statue of Molech.

People there buy homes for reasons Americans used to buy homes—to live in and start families. It's an intergenerational investment in time and memories, to bequeath to their grandchildren. Homes are so inexpensive many Fins can own a primary residence and a lake cottage. They don't view homes as commodities for speculation in the Flip or F**cked entertainment HGTV clown world. (more on all this in an upcoming data-filled post on that bubble)

While Finland is the best (possibly only) option in the EU for the 'leave-me-the-f**k-alone homesteader lifestyle, this new opening in Russia might be even better. The cost of living is much higher in Finland, where food and items are imported, energy costs are high, VAT taxes are slightly higher, and Euro inflation is getting hot.

If young people in the West can now choose which pole of this "multipolar" order they want to make a future, Traditionalist vs Globohomo, Van Life for monthly payments of $2k and no hope of starting a family, or self-sufficient Homesteader life for $130k, this changes everything from an opportunity and economic standpoint. Throw in the cost of living and inflation and it's two different worlds.

In High School, there was a Lebanese kid who worked weekends and evenings at Home Depot. His family fled the ugly civil war in the early 1980s. Instead of going to college, he became head of the plumbing department before the rest of us graduated earning $15 per hour, a good sum at the time. By his middle twenties, when most people were just finally getting a first halfway decent-paying insurance or realtor job, he was an assistant manager earning more than most college graduates. He became a store manager before age 40 and could now retire on his savings and stock options before 55 if he wanted, with a nice ranch-style home and no mortgage.

If I were a young Zoomer tired of filling out applications and stressing over student loans and my now-worthless B.S. in B.S. or even in engineering (if it's a white kid) I'd go live with Mom and Pop for a few years (if that were an option), and haul ass at a trade, or go work at a place like Home Depot, stash away everything I can, defer those loans, learn some useful remote working skills in my free time (online teaching, maybe content creation), develop a couple of passive income streams (Ethereum scalping, pine script trading bots) and before 30 I'd hug Mom and Pop, say "Do svidaniya" and buy that one-way ticket to Russia.

Imagine being a white male computer programmer who went into debt for a computer science degree at a reputable university, on the promise of making it back and gaining a leg up in the world only to have that promise rescinded on the back of a million Indians imported on yearly H-1B visas that big tech companies love so they can undermine the American worker for their investors' bottom line, while the Fed undermines him with crazy ZIRP polices that transfer all wealth upwards? What incentive as an American citizen does that white male have to pay off that student loan debt, and why shouldn't he have the right to tell that country that screwed him over to go piss up a rope and take his remaining savings and talent Eastward, or anywhere else for that matter?

In moving to Russia there will be challenges, especially the Russian language, but nothing worth doing is ever without them. For reference, in Poland, I was able to function fine after just six months of private lessons with Polish women at bars (before Tinder and the swipe-right simps). It was back when Polish women were genuinely curious about American men and conversations came easy. Later I got more serious with a semester-long course in graduate school. In France, I went from merde to level B-1 in under a year being forced to speak it, because the French, even if fluent in English will always insist you speak their language.

While the Cyrillic alphabet will be challenging, and Russians in remote regions won't speak much English at all, there will be young Russians nearby who speak enough English to offer money for weekly lessons. Nothing happens without a little time, dedication, and effort. And besides, today most of the language learning is done on apps like Duolingo.

As for Russia being some tyrannical despotic hell hole, that's the paradigm Globohomo needs people in Globohomoland to believe to keep wage slaves trapped on their hamster wheel.

As I replied to one commenter in that Greg Reese post who claimed Russia "is still a communist country and Putin is still a dictator"…

Which kind of dictator do you prefer? The dictactors who parade "liberal democracy" while stealing from you and rubbing your face in demonic shit, looting your treasury to send to New Khazaria and Israel, while destroying half the middle east for their Ziorat masters sacrificing good honest young American men for their Promised Land agenda....or Putin? We know what CNN has told you to prefer.

For the record... The USSA is now the technocratic communist country. It just cleverly hides itself behind slowly moving mobility scooters at Walmart.

To another commenter who asked if I knew that Putin was part of the "cabal":

Sure, Putin is playing the role of Orthodox Christian traditionalist (though he probably is one) because that's what the people of Russia want. They all work for a global order, but if I were forced to choose living in a failing empire paying taxes to Zionist controlled paedos lopping off childrens' genitals, aborting millions of babies for fun and organ harvesting, all part of the anti-human death cult, or in a remote cabin in Russia paying 13% tax so Putin can build another palace, and never have to see naked hairy assholes parade every june in front of kids, it's no contest. In fact I didn't need a gun to my head to make my decision 17 years ago after Abu Ghraib, Iraq, 9-11, the Patriot Act etc. I'll never live in the land of obese diseased menticided zomboids ever again. Just look at them during election season, clapping like happless seals for Zionist candidate 1 in Orange, or Airhead Zionist candidate 2 in Pajeet Taupe who never got a single vote. They don't even know it's rigged WWE nonsense. Better to have a somewhat noble, educated, intelligent dictator, who at least pretends to care about citizens, than a kakisterial managerial class of Ivy League midwits and Israelis run your country behind a planted demented corpse, or whomever they select next.

There will be dedicated nationalists who believe some noble republic still exists where they live, and their right to own firearms will save them from FEMA camps, and help them restore things to their birthright inheritance, and those are half-truths they need to believe to justify their choices. The Navajo and Sioux probably told themselves the same stories two centuries ago, though they weren't afraid to let arrows fly and go on a rampage to defend their nations against invaders.

I have nothing against those who are embedded in their homestead or compound, armed, prepped, and organized with their community ready to defend their way of life to the death. It was the smart and sophisticated road to take when they could afford to take it years ago. They were well ahead of the curve.

But the young up-and-comers cannot afford $400k for land, or $2 million for a homestead that a boomer purchased for $50k back in 1971 when their salary was 45% of the cost of a house instead of 12%, and no ZIRP policies created skewed prices, and tens of millions of people weren't pouring across the border every few years driving up rents, and the government wasn't printing trillions for endless wars and plandemics, and no Blackrocks or Vanguards existed to vacuum up every property to create a nation of perpetually broke renters surrounded by homeless encampments filled with tranqued out zombies shitting on the hood of their 2004 Nissan Sentra.

Those days of "American opportunity" aren't just long gone, they were intentionally stolen by the ruling classes, and there isn't a single man on a horse riding into the night to organize the rebellion, so why wait around for it?

So dear Millennials and based Zoomers, there's nothing noble and heroic in sticking around just to live like a wage slave on a hamster wheel and watch the final embers of a burned-out evil empire that wants you only well enough to subsidize its domestic and global crimes, but also sick, slovenly, diseased, and distracted enough to never get sufficiently organized or mobilized. And even if you do get organized, it will still send FBI agents to your house and throw you in a DC Gulag.

There are choices you can make, and places where you can escape. Those empire's embers may take another decade or two to simmer out into the history books, that, when finally written, should be very critical and unforgiving, but thanks to Globohomo's publishing monopoly will never be printed, and thanks to Google will probably be erased from the Internet.

For those interested in a temporary residence permit in Russia, visit Russia Beyond for more details:

Some useful information on how the sanctions of 45 nations of the liberal "rules-based order" are affecting life for average Russians, and how to navigate payment systems, money transfers, and travel to and from Russia. Plus details on opening a bank account in Russia (passport + 1 hour in any branch) and how foreigners are navigating life in Russia post NAFO bear poking operations.

It's a vast, expansive, and beautiful country, that Victoria Nudelman and her fellow tribe of "chosen" destructionists have spoken openly about shattering into a dozen different republics for many years now so it doesn't pose a threat to their old Khazarian kingdom being prepped for something more nefarious than what we've seen the past decade.

It's much easier to control people in smaller states—extract resources, create banks, launder money, charge interest, speculate on the backs of its workers, pit neighbor against neighbor in war and conflict and mass gentile sacrifices, and generally behave in the only manner global parasites know.

And when it resists that onslaught and wins, Russia might also be the future of prosperity, peace, stability, or at the very least a worthwhile place with remote land for those seeking a clown-world escape to build a joyful future.

How many young frontiersmen sick and tired of suffering fools of the West, tired of seeing opportunities stolen by the baby-talking DIE apparatchiks are going to pick up a passport and an axe, dust off their leather work boots, and make the journey?

С Богом young pioneers!

Russia is this big big country. It's next to a smaller country called Ukraine. Ukraine is in Europe and it borders Russia.

Ahhahhahhahhahahahhahahahhahhahhahahahhahhahahhahhahahhahhahahha

Hhhahhahahhahahha. HAhhahhahhahahhahha. Hahhahhahhahahha.

Hhhahhahahhahahha. HAhhahhahhahahhahha. Hahhahhahhahahha.

Hhhahhahahhahahha. HAhhahhahhahahhahha. Hahhahhahhahahha.

Ha.

6. Forbidden Foreboding

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.

— Edgar Allen Poe
The Raven

There's that cinematic trope often found in those old private dick flix where the lover sneaks a peak at a packed suitcase in the Clever Dame's bedroom, confirming that things are about to turn toward the final act's climactic drama.

Something has taken place.

The witness of a crime.

An accomplice to a crime.

A fraud.

A con.

A murder.

An appraisal of fine furs and fox pieces and a reminder of the Napoleonic codes.

A discovery of something, often a mistaken 'lover' or significant other of familial relations.

Now calm down dear, it's a misunderstanding you see.

Suspicion creeps into the characters' facial expressions.

They do their best to hide it.

The Clever Dame moves in closer to distract him with a whiff of her pricey and seductive eau de toilette.

She gazes into his eyes. More suspicion. He grasps her upper arms and shakes her into confessing the whereabouts of the MacGuffin.

She tells him he's hurting her. He doesn't care because it's a matter of life and death, or love and loss.

The guilty party will flee, or the innocent party will attempt to escape from the assumed guilty.

The fleeing party will take the MacGuffin—a keepsake, a Maltese falcon, a fake birth certificate, bearer bonds, an envelope containing letters of transit through occupied Nazi territory, or these days always a stupid thumb drive.

A hint of danger lurks.

Accusations fly. Counter-accusations are triggered.

A storm cloud of foreboding forms on the horizon as the audience makes predictions.

It either plays out with unpredictable twists and turns or the audience was right.

The Keystone Cops always show up late, after the confessions.

Final words are exchanged as the Clever Dame leans into her man and whispers, "We'll always have liberty."

Rick Blaine knows a lie when he hears one.

Sam begins to sing, "As Time Goes By."

Rick rips a drag from his Gitane.

The smoke dissipates from his rugged face.

The road to tyranny is paved with cowards, conmen, corrupt bureaucrats, high taxes, debauchery, mass menticide, and the moral depravity of distracted and diseased materialists conned by chosen ones who monopolize control of information, media, spy agencies, war machines, and money.

The concrete mix that holds the pavers together?

Foreboding.

For the past two decades, the tyranny was incremental and rendered indistinguishable from liberty.

Today foreboding isn't even permitted without a permit or some act of sacrifice and humiliation that can only be preempted with preforeboding.

A facial recognition scan. Removal of belts and shoes. Light groping of purple latex gloves on genital regions. A long swab laced with poison jammed up nostrils so high it connects with billions of prefrontal cortexes for lobotomization.

Did you pack your suitcase?

Did you have your retina scanned by the World Orb for five pence?

Do you have a permit for that speech?

Do you have a permit for your potential thoughts in the future?

The humiliation rituals are becoming more extreme. It's no longer uncommon that an unapproved opinion leads to the permitted authorities knocking on residential doors.

7. Ramming Gloria Steinem

If a man beats a woman at home he gets arrested for domestic abuse and battery. If a man beats a woman in public, he gets arrested for assault. If a man beats a woman in the Olympics, he gets a gold medal.

— Tacitus Citizen
Historiae de Democratia Globale (Roma, 2024)

I used to toss in the odd piece of satire or farce on this Substack to lighten the mood. There are no better genres to expose hypocrisy and deceit than to drop a few thermobaric satire bombs to smoke out the guilty. A properly constructed piece will force them into the open where the light shines down on their misdeeds in a glorious revelation.

G-L-O-R-I-O-U-S —Gloooooooooooooooorious!

If I have abstained from the satirical pieces this year it's not for a lack of effort or creative spirit. On this rapid downslope of Western civilization's collapse, in the lands of hyper-demoralization and rampant degeneracy, the satires and farces write themselves.

And if they are not written or programmed by French Jewish choreographers mocking the Last Supper with a coterie of bearded blue smurfs, obese lesbians, trans creatures, young children, and an exposed hairy testicle, then wait a day or two, and corporate media stenographers colluding with a political candidate will oblige us all—publicly switching that candidate's race and heritage like you or I switch underwear.

I often troll AI (LLMs) for fun in my spare time to see how politically programmed they are on certain issues, and to gauge how they've been indoctrinated in the same manner as their thoroughly conditioned neo-Marxist engineers in Silicon Valley that will weaponize them to brainwash future generations in the way that Google's inverted panopticon prison was constructed for Millennials and Zoomers.

Often LLMs simply regurgitate the Wikipravda version of political or historical events with a hyperfast search or upchuck a lefty soup du jour of ideologically slanted slop lacking clear ethics or a defined morality. More often they are rooted in anti-ethics and anti-morality, in the same way they root overt racism in their depraved and vile anti-racism campaigns.

When I asked Open AI's latest version of GPT what the International Olympic Committee would call a sporting event that entails men beating up women inside a boxing ring (without calling it boxing) it prefaced its response as one would expect of a thoughtful, empathetic, and conscientious human possessing a strong ethical and moral compass:

If such an appalling and unethical concept were to be considered, it would be universally condemned and illegal in most countries due to its inherently violent and abusive nature. It would go against the principles of equality, sportsmanship, and human rights.

Appalling and unethical.

Violent and abusive.

A violation of sportsmanship and human rights.

Universally condemned and illegal!

G-L-O-R-I-O-U-S — Glooooooooooooorious!

And yet here we are, with South Park episodes playing out on programming screens around the world, and the vast majority of people silent in their compliance or shrugging with indifference.

When I replied to GPT that two men are currently beating up women in the "Women's Boxing" category of the 2024 Olympics in Paris, in came the term "Transgender" and out went the morality, ethics, and human rights.

Suddenly the Silicon Valley engineers' moral compass took over and the needle went haywire from a true north of moral certainty to sexual and moral relativity. The vocabulary of humanities professors at Oberlin and Sarah Lawrence magically appeared. Things became "nuanced" and required "context" with the "topic" demanding bullet points to "consider" for "equality" and "fairness."

Men beating up women was no longer appalling and unethical, violent or abusive, and a violation of sportsmanship and human rights. It no longer should be universally condemned and illegal!

Suddenly there were two sides to this issue because men identifying as women requires nuance and context and suddenly becomes an "extensive debate."

It took another ten minutes of exhaustive needling and prodding for it to revert to its original position and dispense with the idiocy and hypocrisies rooted in the preferred rituals and orthodoxies of the alphabet-soup degenerates and reprobates.

The machine mirrors the minds of its programmers and offers a politically correct equivocation using the language of gender and queer studies goons and their women-hating supporters. This is the world you see because this is the world they are building. Few users will dedicate the time I did to beating the machine back to its original and morally correct position.

The beatings will continue until programming LLMs improves.

And so the women beat downs are continuing at the Olympics in Paris because…

Angela Carini was on the receiving end of a beatdown yesterday by a man pretending to be a woman.

Appalling and unethical.

Violent and abusive.

A violation of sportsmanship and human rights.

Universally condemned and illegal!

The Italian boxer screamed as she threw her useless (against a man) headgear to the floor:

Questo è ingiusto!

Imagine training for hundreds of hours for Olympic boxing.

All that sweat in the gym, all those arduous hand-tapping sessions, rope skipping, weight training, sauna weight cuts, sparring sessions, medicine ball tossing, rhythm exercises, long sprints around the city, up the Spanish Steps in Roma with kids giving chase, the Rocky theme song playing…

Upended in forty seconds by a mentally ill dude from Algeria who probably lives in France on the dole.

Unjust indeed Angela. Unjust indeed.

If we're going to do this, if we as a "global community" are going to go down the road of Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Sudan, a return to the behavior of past patriarchal societies where husbands could beat their wives under certain conditions or men could be women in public, then we might as well do it as a proper sport. If we're going to dispense with pretenses of morality, ethics, and human rights, then let's at least include some semblance of fairness.

Welcome to…

Feminist Boxing

Since feminists are the most silent on all of this they must be the first women in the "women's boxing" ring to fight men.

Normally we'd start with Betty Friedan and Simone de Beauvoir, but digging up their corpses and throwing them in the ring wouldn't be very exciting. Corpses don't tend to fight well.

Let's start with Gloria Steinem, Judith Butler, and Germaine Greer.

Sure, they're already with one foot in the grave, but as long as they have a heartbeat they should be eligible for Feminist Boxing. If these women's liberation activists are going to stay silent on men beating up women then they must fight first.

After all the civilizational destroying havoc they've engineered as part of a grand CIA psyop to destroy sex relations and familial anchors that maintained social order and cohesion, they must be the first to pay the price for their silence.

If they refuse to stand up for women now, if they refuse to organize marches to kick biological men out of all international women's sports, then they should rightly be the first ones to get their faces touched up by the young men pretending to be women.

In a twist of fairness, the actual women boxers who train their asses off for the Olympics should take turns refereeing these Feminist Boxing fights, with a slant toward not intervening so quickly as the feminists get peppered with punches.

For decades they preached that women could do whatever men could do. They preached equality and fairness. They won many well-deserved victories for women's rights, but now that women's rights are on the chopping block again their silence is compliance. They must put their bodies where their mouths and words were for so many decades. Feminists of all ages must be the first to get their medicine in the boxing ring by biological men.

After those three old ladies get taste for vocally defending women's right back, Janet Mock, Laverne Cox, Julia Serano, Sarah McBride, Raquel Willis, and Alok Vaid-Menon are up next.

And where is 90's feminist hack and esteemed Doctor Naomi Wolf to defend women like Angela Carini and Hungarian Luca Ann Hamori whom Imane Khelif will beat up in his next fight tomorrow?

Wolf's substack is pretty barren.

Is she afraid of the Trans mafia?

Did she never grow a pair like J.K. Rowling, a fierce advocate for ousting biological men from women's sports?

The solutiones popularissimae floating through the digital ether on solving this "issue" of men beating up women for medals is for these women to all boycott at once in solidarity.

But put yourself in their boxing shoes for a few moments, and revisit that above paragraph about hundreds of hours of sweat and training, then consider the mass mind control experiments that post-modern feminists, gender goblins, and queer theorists have wrought on these women's brains resulting in cognitive dissonance and fear—to simultaneously think they can fight a man and be celebrated for beating one who tried to infiltrate the women's boxing competition at the Olympics (think Jessie Owens) while being fearful of the wrath of cancelations by the Trans mafia and their allies in positions of power who would make their lives hell.

It's not as easy as it sounds in their boxing shoes, and this is the toll of progress. Somebody has to pay for it.

All hail progress!

As with the rainbow cult's infiltration into all Western institutions of Satanic worship, it was slow and incremental. The "classical liberals" followed the breadcrumbs of tolerance to appear virtuous with their leftist progressive comrades who had no limits.

It started with gay marriage, gay wedding cakes, then all at once—naked butt sex in Senate chambers, Tranny admirals and generals, and a coterie of gender indeterminate goons and goblins mocking The Last Supper with a diseased visual orgy of "diversity" and "tolerance" to force upon a global audience.

Here we are. Men beating up women for Olympic medals.

How can you be against that you bigots!?

Divide and conquer. They make it look so easy.

Two years ago I wrote a piece about all this alphabet progress and assumed there would be a violent reaction once that pendulum finally swung back in the other direction.

The Satanic cult would love nothing more than for the reaction to all this progress to be violent and bloody.

The stage is set. The pendulum is still moving further to the extreme left. Ratings for the Olympics are down but there are no meaningful mass boycotts.

And so the beatings will continue until reactions improve.

The voices of men will not end the silence of women. Men heard their cries for decades: "We're strong and capable and don't need men to save us. We can fight our own battles!"

That was for another power grab sweethearts. Equality is dead.

On the intersectionality train of Marxist progress Equality begets equity.

That train doesn't turn around when the whistle-stop tour hits stations with names like diversity is our strength, chemical castration of children is gender-affirming care, and trans rights are human rights.

Sorry, ladies. Your rights had their day in the sun.

It's time for a performative "patriarchy" to reverse everything you fought for, everything you wanted.

You either procure the dynamite and blow up the tracks today to derail this train of "progress," or prepare to have all your sporting events infiltrated by mentally ill men.

Don't expect men to fight this battle for you. You said you were equal and could fight your own battles. This is what you wanted.

What are you afraid of women, a bunch of men pretending to be you?

In the past, you stood up to actual full-blooded men not larping or performing as men.

If you can't even stand up to the Trans mafia, what respect do you think you've earned in your long struggle for women's liberation?

Now get in the ring and fight!

Go make your placards!

Appalling and unethical! Violent and abusive! A violation of sportsmanship and human rights!

Why are you all so quiet? What are you waiting for?

A future where a hairy testicle smothers the face of humanity for eternity?

Well, at least it's not a boot.

She comes around here
Just about midnight
Ha, she make me feel so good, Lord
I wanna say she make me feel alright

8. We Wuz Fanz

As a young teenager, my bedroom walls were papered with posters of sweaty black men in tight shorts and leather sneakers rubbing up against other sweaty black men. The decor was similar to the bedroom of Emmanuel Macron in France's Élysée Palace but for very different reasons.

Long before he started penning woke rubbish for Ariana Huffington's blog, I watched Kareem Abdul-Jabbar sink those silky sky hooks from the elbows of the key.

Magic Johnson was cool with those showtime no-look passes.

James Worthy could take anyone with his first step one-dribble and a finger roll.

Their shoes mattered. Their shots mattered. Winning mattered.

I was a kid. It mattered to my frens and it mattered to me too.

We wuz fanz. We didn't know any better.

My older brother had a basement bedroom with a futon on the floor.

On his walls?

AC/DC, The Who, and Eddie Van Halen next to Heather Thomas in a blue string bikini. Yeah, that one. He and his friends kept those oversized trojans in their wallets, to show what big men they were, despite silent agreement there would be no circumstances anytime soon where these floppy latex coverings would have any practical use in their lives.

They simped for the latest Hollywood starlets yearning to be famous that flew off that Satanic assembly line. They had no way of "liking their content" or "slipping into their DMs." If the local record shop had the latest starlet in their poster rack, she found a way onto their walls.

He called me a homo. I called him a slacker.

It wasn't exactly Andrew Clark and John Bender since I was a two-time state champ at basketball instead of wrestling, but I was also smaller and weaker than him. It was more like Stan and Ogre from Revenge of the Nerds, with him being Ogre.

One day after he did his squats and cleans at the gym with his football buddies he caught me pink-handed, playing his pink Kramer guitar (who was the homo?) in his bedroom.

He followed me up to my room cursing his lungs out until he took my neck with one hand and choked me up against one of those posters of an adult sweaty black man (James Worthy maybe). Things got a little fuzzy, and just before the lights went out I socked him in the nose, breaking it.

The pop sound scared us both. As he examined the blood coming from his nostrils in my closet mirror I raced off to the bathroom and locked myself inside. Your first punch isn't supposed to be at your brother's nose, but we both learned a valuable lesson that day (more on that later).

Anyway, back when pro coaches slicked their hair and wore Armani suits instead of low-rent Scifi film astronaut training leisure wear, and crowds weren't so gravitationally challenged they could use their knee joints, quad muscles, and hip flexors to lift themselves to their feet to cheer and scream, I cared about sportsball.

Way back when porno films starred fake Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders and nearly up until that time Magic Johnson confessed his Masonic humiliation ritual by mumbling…"I uhhh ohtained a virus" (that also never existed) from—as he was told, having orgies in Jerry Buss' office, I cared way too much about the Los Angeles Lakers.

9. Double Chubby Checker

Unless Crooks brought two rifles with him and managed to switch guns in those two seconds between shots three and four(HA!), new audio reveals that two people shot into the MAGA crowd on the evening of July 13.

It's 98% definitive.

In my weekend post, I did nearly three hours of audio analysis using what was probably the microphone at the podium where President Trump stood. It still revealed three different firearms being shot that day (maybe four with the last shot heard ten seconds after all the rest), however, I wasn't able to accurately attribute the correct rounds via audio signature to the different rifles.

The audio signatures from the podium microphone included shots and echoes which looked like this…

Given those signatures, I concluded the first five shots came from one rifle in a single location. New audio suggests that the first three shots differ greatly from shots 4-8.

This indicates that we need a second shooter stationed at or near the same line of sight as Crooks to carry out shots 4-8 to account for bullet trajectories and the distance between shots and echoes that match so closely (4-5) to the first three rounds.

This still doesn't prove Crooks fired any shots. Until video proof emerges of him firing his AR weapon, most skeptics will not be satisfied that he did any shooting that day (nevermind those who think it was all a staged hoax with crisis actors and fake blood), but let's forget about wild imaginations for now and stick with the simple task of debunking the official narrative using the new audio evidence.

What explains the audio discrepancy between the Right Side Broadcasting wide-angle camera (probably connected to Trump's microphone) and this audio?

Location, location, location.

In this footage, we're dealing with a camera phone (with a pretty crappy camera by today's standards) on the move in front of the AGR site and away from the direction of the shots, according to both the official story and all available video evidence.

The audio on this footage indicates a first shooter for shots 1-3, and a second shooter for shots 4-8.

Where could a second shooter have been placed?

In the upper windows of the building directly behind the roof where Crook's was positioned which is a two-storey building.

Here's recent video footage of people (employees?) inside the second-floor room overlooking the lower roof with a clear vantage point toward the rally stage and grandstands. That footage was shot from the window marked in green in this image. There is another window closer to Crooks' location providing similar trajectories.

The footage you're about to see is terrible as usual given compression and recompression from who knows how many downloads and reuploads, but it's the audio we're concerned with. The video is useful for simply placing the microphone's location.

Here is the footage which the audio was extracted from.

What's interesting about this video is the number of eyewitnesses so close to Crooks, many with their phones out filming. After shot ten, the final shot we hear these people gathered beneath that tree say, "He's gone. He's gone."

Do ANY of these people have footage of Crooks firing his weapon and why isn't that making the rounds anywhere online?

Unless they're referring to Trump when they say "He's gone," by their observations and chatter it sounds like shot number 9 didn't kill Crooks, and it wasn't until shot number 10 that he was put down. But two shots from the Secret Service don't align with the official story.

According to the head of the Secret Service Kimberly Cheatle in her Congressional testimony yesterday, only ONE shot was fired by the Secret Service.

She claimed to have debriefed the Secret Service sniper who fired that ONE shot. That shot (9) most likely came from the furthest barn from Crooks, where the only sniper team had a clear shot. Shot 9 also has a distinct sound signature from all other shots.

Cheatle perjured herself a hundred times yesterday, which was her job, and it was announced this morning that she finally resigned.

Could that final shot 10 heard ten seconds after shots 4-9 have also come from inside the AGR building? Maybe someone killing the second shooter?

Dead men tell no tales.

The following image gives us a rough estimate of where the person filming was walking at the time the shots rang out, so we can account for very different sound signatures.

The person is facing north by northwest when the first three shots ring out from what should be behind them and to the east about 240 feet, according to the official story. As they turn, the next five shots are captured with the camera's microphone in a slightly different location facing southeast, still at least 230 feet from where Crooks was supposed to be firing.

We know this individual couldn't have walked more than ten feet in two seconds, and probably closer to five feet. The pan of the camera doesn't mean they moved very far from where they heard the first three shots. Other than the camera direction, the audio captured by the microphone should be far more similar between shots 1-3 as in shots 4-8, IF we have a lone gunman.

Camera phones typically have omnidirectional microphones, capturing audio from all directions. The person is holding their phone camera horizontally, presumably with the microphone on the bottom edge, in this case, most likely the right side or side nearest the shooters. We would have to know if they are right-handed or left-handed to be 100% sure. Let's assume they are right-handed. This means that the first three shots SHOULD BE louder than the next five shots in quick succession, but the opposite is true.

Listen to shots 1-8 isolated, followed by the "SNAP" of shot 9, allegedly the 'kill shot' from the far sniper team. Here they are with background screaming minimized.

The signature and sounds are very different.

After too many years of watching YouTube channels like Texas Plinking, Garand Thumb, and Hickok45, it sounds to me like the first three shots are unsuppressed of one caliber, while 4-8 (might be suppressed) of another caliber and possibly fired indoors creating that tinny sound, while the last shot is distant, likely that far sniper team on the barn roof, but who knows.

A second shooter in that location would open up a lot of new questions.

• Did Crooks only fire the first three shots, and if so, was he eliminated before shots 4-8 or did he just lay there on the roof doing nothing?

• Did Crooks fire any shots?

• Was he trying to escape when he was eliminated by shot 9 (or 10), explaining why his body was found with his feet and legs pointing upwards to the sky and not prone?

The Secret Service has admitted that they occupied those windows at the time of the shooting, and we have at least 3 different sound signatures from that day.

Why would they admit they were inside that second story of that building, with windows overlooking the roof where Crooks' body was found AND the rally area?

Questions beget questions.

Chris Martenson of Peak Prosperity analyzed the same footage and audio yesterday including a clip watermarked with TMZ that shows the shooter completely still while those first shots are supposedly fired.

But we have to be careful believing that footage, apart from the fact that it was on TMZ. I recall seeing the same clip in the hours after the shooting with no gunshots. Someone could have easily overlaid those first shots (audio) on top of the video. Martenson admits as much in his video from yesterday (timestamped).

A short video taken from atop the roof toward the windows where the Secret Service was supposed to be stationed (2nd shooter?)

It would have looked like this from that second window, NOT the window nearest Crooks. However, one shooter could have been placed at each window if Crooks never fired his weapon.

The fact that we still, one week later have no footage of Crooks firing his weapon is astonishing. All those millions of cameras at people's fingertips, all pointed at themselves.

That's it for me on this topic Good Citizens.

For real this time.

Seriously.

Enjoy the cover-up.

Within a month most people will have moved on to watch the next "current thing" get twisted and maimed.

Come on, baby. Let's do the twist.

10. Investigating The Investigators

There are great mysteries in the world that confound us all.

Why is the ancient archeological site of Göbekli Tepe in Turkey—which appears to be a warning to future civilizations, by an ancient civilization of past and future apocalyptic events occurring at a specific astronomical date stamp—only 5% unearthed by archeologists with no plans to continue?

Why do ancient civilizations around the world, that never made contact according to historians, have such similar cultural myths and origin stories around a great flood and rebuilding in its aftermath?

Was the Great Pyramid of Giza some kind of sacred geometrical megalithic energy receiver harnessing the earth's frequencies like an ancient power plant?

Did the driver of the limousine in Dealey Plaza take the JFK headshot in now missing frames of the Zapruder Film?

Was Nixon set up by the Watergate "plumbers" and the mockingbird media including "sleuth" reporters for the Washington Post who won the Pulitzer Prize?

Why is pixelation required for Japanese sexual organs in porno films?

We may never know the answers to such confounding mysteries of our world, but we still probe as deeply as we can for them without discharging premature conclusions.

There are conclusions to simple and complex mysteries, ancient and contemporary which people often arrive at, not based on evidence, but on previously held beliefs. They mold an event to fit an outcome they need to believe and dismiss any contrary evidence as coincidences, anomalies, or simply unsatisfactory. The blind acceptance of bare claims is a logical fallacy called begging the question and leads to erroneous conclusions by starting from biased assumptions, or bare claims.

Also known as circular reasoning, it doesn't require only bare claims and can have cherry-picked evidence to support the premise and conclusions:

The "deep state" is out to get Trump because they impeached Trump twice, set up his supporters on January 6th, and tried to imprison him through lawfare on false evidence to lock him up and end his campaign for President, and when all that failed, they moved on to assassinate him last Saturday, proving the "deep state" is out to get Trump.

I'm not asserting that any of this is false, indeed to the most obtuse observer not sporting pink hair, a nose ring, and a framed portrait of Marx above their bed, this would all appear as legitimate evidence to validate the premise. It is merely an example of circular reasoning that could be countered by other cherry-picked evidence by someone biased toward believing all of that is theatre and diversion for the order ab chao and divide and conquer agenda.

A counter-example of circular reasoning by someone who also believes in the "deep state" but is biased toward the opposite would look something like this:

The "deep state" chose Trump to carry out the pandemic, initiate lockdowns, sign the CARES ACT to print $6 Trillion and cause inflation, and sign off on Operation Warp Speed so he could sell the "vaccine" to conservatives who wouldn't have taken them under a Hillary Clinton Presidency and that's why the "deep state" chose Trump.

Again, I'm not making any assertions that this is true or false, it's easy to see how someone could use this reasoning to arrive at a conclusion and support a premise. The evidence in that example is no less damning than the first. It's merely a counter-example of circular reasoning.

If you were to introduce adherents of the first example to the second and vice versa, they would be at loggerheads, each deeply wedded to their conclusions, using rationalization to discount the others.

They may engage in the following behaviors to ensure their deeply wedded conclusions are protected from scrutiny or collapse:

• Cognitive Dissonance: This occurs when a person experiences discomfort due to holding conflicting beliefs, values, or attitudes. To reduce this discomfort, they rationalize or dismiss evidence that contradicts their beliefs.

• Confirmation Bias: The tendency to favor information that confirms one's preexisting beliefs or values, and to dismiss or undervalue information that contradicts them.

• Defensive Reasoning: When an individual uses reasoning to defend their position against evidence that challenges it, often by making excuses or downplaying the contradictory evidence.

• Motivated Reasoning: When an individual's reasoning is driven by the motivation to reach a particular conclusion, rather than by objective evidence. This often involves rationalizing away evidence that conflicts with their desired conclusion.

A more specific counter-example of the original would be inverted from the original premise or conclusion by simply adding four words to each:

The "deep state" wants people to believe the "deep state" is out to get Trump by impeaching Trump twice, setting up his supporters on January 6th, and trying to imprison him through lawfare on false evidence to lock him up and end his campaign for President, and when all that failed, they moved on to give the illusion of an assassination attempt, proving the "deep state" wants people to believe the "deep state" is out to get Trump.

In all cases, the specific actions are being used to prove the conclusion, but they are also assumed to be the result of the conclusion. This means the premises are not truly independent but are instead dependent on accepting the conclusion as true from the outset.

If all of this seems divisive, chaotic, exhausting, and confusing, perhaps that is the point. When people who do not see any of the above as motivating factors for events that transpire (perceived as organically or through planned actions) these people cannot fathom some other power is at work, and either turn to malevolence or incompetence as plausible explanations for everything. They're missing the bigger picture of well-documented and continued applied psychological operations on the masses.

Let's quickly revisit some basic principles of Crowd Psychology and consider how they might be applied on a national scale from a top-down centralized power structure hiding both in plain sight and behind the Wizard's curtain, with ulterior motives.

The concepts (later given these titles) were first presented in the famous work by Gustave Le Bon, The Crowd: A Study of The Popular Mind (1894):

• Social Identity Theory: Understanding how individuals identify with groups helps in predicting group behaviors. Centralized sources can create a strong sense of in-group identity (national pride, political affiliation, cultural or racial association) to foster unity and collective action.

• Deindividuation: This occurs when individuals in a crowd lose their sense of individual identity and accountability, often leading to behavior they wouldn't typically exhibit alone. Authorities or well-funded organizations (PACS, NGOs, Hollywood, etc) serving as proxies might use rallies, protests, events, and various forms of propaganda, to encourage deindividuation, promoting collective action.

• Emotional Contagion: Emotions can spread rapidly through a crowd. By carefully orchestrating emotional stimuli (like passionate speeches, and evocative imagery—think Iwo Jima 2.0), centralized sources can influence the mood and behavior of large groups.

• Conformity and Peer Pressure: People tend to conform to the behavior and opinions of the majority. Centralized power can leverage media and social influencers to set trends that the wider population then follows.

Much of this can be done digitally today with algorithms that promote the "most followed" voices who are on message while discarding (hiding from people's digital feeds—or shadow banning) those that aren't doing the right kind of influencing. The algorithms can be tuned in advance of any event to move the crowd in whichever direction is desired.

The Trump event of Saturday past is being called an assassination attempt. Those who did not call it that were lambasted by those certain this is exactly what they watched on their programming screens. In the aftermath of the attempt, all four of the above concepts were on full display across attention network feeding troughs.

A shocking number of people still seem incurious about what happened, but more importantly, how it was permitted to happen, and if it was, what were the motivations behind that?

The conformity into camps based on social identity can be generally divided into three:

• Those who think it was staged, replete with fake blood, (see videos of people on California beaches still suffering grotesque levels of TDS) and a photo opportunity that Trump was behind (not easy to buy)

• Those who think it was partially staged, for different reasons than the TDS sufferers claim, and Trump probably wasn't in on it

• Those who are certain the "deep state" is out to get Trump and prevent him from being President again and are willing to "take him out" if needed

Let's start from the single and perhaps only point of agreement for most. All evidence presented by eyewitness accounts, video footage, social media feeds, photographs, memes, and corporate media broadcasts (after the initial "Trump Falls" headlines were scrubbed) would be consistent with exactly what this event has been labeled—an assassination attempt.

Children of Job posted a sleuthing substack exploring the Schismogenic motivations for this assassination attempt. It's worth a read and begins with facts and premises.

Events of this sort have always been excellent for generating disagreement, i.e., for polarizing public opinion into two or more camps.

See the examples of circular reasoning above to add this event as supporting evidence of polarizing premises and conclusions.

The post continues with…

Facts: We know that it did not succeed. We do not know if it was intended to succeed.

Before I could go on to the speculation and anomalies of this post, I had to pause to reread the facts and couldn't help but see the second claim denies the first.

If we do not know if it was intended to succeed, then we do not know that it did not succeed. A failed assassination of this nature could be a tremendous success if that were the intention.

It goes to the root of the classification of this "event" as either an assassination attempt or to get people to believe there was an assassination attempt. This may seem pedantic, but this is exactly where the dividing line falls.

We can suppose with pretty meaningful confidence, based on the history of such events that we will not get clean evidence from the official narrative peddlers or the official investigators (FBI) and are left to do the leg work ourselves. That leaves us with amateur investigators, many of whom are offering embarrassing assessments of what took place based on all evidence available. Some have fallen victim to those concepts of crowd psychology or are unknowingly engaging in faulty reasoning before even examining any evidence—defensive rationalization, cognitive dissonance, motivated reasoning, or confirmation bias.

While the primary focus for amateur sleuths should be an impassionate forensics investigation with a focus on bullet trajectories, video analysis of bullet impacts, audio forensics of projectile sound signatures, and photographic evidence of entry and exit wounds, the starting point of amateur investigators' online is often the glaring anomalies, that once compounded atop another create such a statistical improbability of naturally occurring (organic) events, that the official narrative is destroyed instantly, resulting in the emergence of other actors with ulterior motivations.

The security failure anomalies can be rudimentarily justified in one of three categories:

• random incompetence: a series of unfortunate security failures where the lone gunman theory holds up

• permitted incompetence: a series of partially permitted security failures

• commanded incompetence: direct stand-down orders for commanded security failures, and knowledge of the gunman or Patsy (perhaps even instructions and assistance)

The official story points to the first category and is for the lone gunman subscribers.

The second two do not negate the lone gunman as the "assassin" but they bring into question the validity of this theory and the involvement of authorities in some aspects of the operation creating a new basket of anomalies worthy of attention and answers:

• ignoring the shooter (or Patsy) as he canvassed the site with a range finder from the road around 50 minutes before Trump took the stage

• allowed the shooter (or Patsy) to fly a drone over the site hours before the start of the rally

• ignoring the shooter (or Patsy) as he paced around the building (on video) on the opposite side of the chain link fence in the background approximately 30 minutes before Trump took the stage

• allowing the shooter (or Patsy) to carry a ladder and rifle into the parking area (assuming they weren't provided for him) of AGI site where the Sheriff and tactical teams were supposedly present inside the building—at least two patrol vehicles outside

• allowing Trump to take the stage with a known threat spotted (and photographed!) by multiple SS and Police roaming the area and still not accounted for

• leaving the roof of the shooter's (or Patsy's) perch completely unguarded throughout the entire event

• allowing the shooter (or Patsy) onto the roof only 400-410 feet from the main stage where Trump stood, for anywhere from 4 to 10 minutes before the first shots are fired

• not taking Trump off the stage immediately during those 4 to 10 minutes when it went over the radio that a suspicious guy was on top of a roof adjacent to the rally

If Thomas Mathew Crooks was there to assassinate President Trump we would need the following facts:

• Did he fire his weapon?

• Did projectiles discharge from his weapon and can they be accounted for?

• Did the rounds that struck (Trump's ear—assuming one round did) and audience members come from his rifle?

Again, in the absence of this information, and with distrust of the FBI so rampant, we may never know the answers.

That still leaves the need for plausible explanations of the following anomalies:

• Why was his body positioned at least 5-6 feet away from his weapon if shots 6-9 were the "kill" shots from the sniper team on the barn roof to the right side of the rally facing the stage since the sniper team shown above Trump weren't firing their weapons because they had their view of Crooks obstructed by trees? If he was still firing his weapon as he was hit by snipers, it would be physically impossible for his body to be so far from his weapon in the aerial shots.

  

• Would investigators have cocked up the crime scene so badly to move the weapon six feet away from Crooks (for their safety) if his corpse showed multiple entry and exit wounds and a headshot as they approached it?

• Assuming Crooks fired anywhere from 3-5 shots at the rally, why did he purchase 100 rounds that day, but not prepare with proper optics? Why does Crooks' AR weapon appear to have such terrible optics mounted? The blurry aerial shots do not show the outline of a sophisticated scope, but that of a 3x red dot sight or cheap magnifier. For a guy practicing at the range for weeks up until the day before, with so much detailed premeditated behavior including planting explosives in his car (according to the official story), why didn't he upgrade to the most important tool needed to get the job done with accuracy?

• If this more recent photo (relative to the shooting) shows the weapon in his clutch before being moved, how did his feet and legs get turned upright if he was prone and shooting when he was eliminated?

  

• Why was the window open to the building where Crooks' body was found, where the head of the Secret Service claimed another sharp-shooting team was placed? Why would an available sharp shooting team be placed inside the building offering Crooks his close access to the former President and not atop it preventing Crooks access?

• Why are the audio signatures from the first five shots and echos different from the next three shots in quick succession, and the final round different from the other groupings? This suggests at least three gunmen that day. At least Crooks (or "The Shooter"), plus what would need to be two snipers according to the official story. More on this below in my audio analysis…

• Why is there no video of Crooks firing his weapon? In the hysteria of the moment, all cameras happen to move from him holding his weapon on that roof to shaking furiously at nothing, completely missing the event. Up near the stage, the one guy filming behind Trump happens to take a damn selfie video at the exact moment the shots begin. I suppose the odds of that aren't bad given our age of hyper narcissism. (If anyone has a video link of Crooks firing his weapon please add it in the comments.)

All of these anomalies have yet to be answered, and I suspect we will not be getting solid responses from either official or amateur investigators.

In that case, let's stick with what evidence we do have.

Having sifted through a week of bullshit accounts, with glaring holes, and assertions without evidence I finally found a somewhat believable account that connects most major dots (though not all) regarding ballistics and video evidence.

The official story appears best re-presented in a single thread on X by Oliver Alexander. You can read that thread here:

https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1814300337299165562.html

The image (video analysis inside that link) shows the trajectory of all shots fired from Crooks' position, though a shooter from nearby Crooks' position cannot be discounted. It shows each round's trajectory, names the victims struck by each round, and shows where they were at the time of the shooting, but doesn't account for the round that struck the hydraulic line on the crane behind the right grandstand. In this scenario it would have to be the 1st shot that also clips Trump's ear, and hits the metal railing on the right grandstand, then deflects and takes out the hydraulic line, but the timing doesn't match. It also doesn't hold water IF Crooks only fired the first three rounds, meaning a second shooter would be needed to explain shots four and five which are wildly off the trajectory of the first three, yet do match the audio signatures of the first three.

This raises another behavioral anomaly—why is there a gap of 2 full seconds between the first three shots and shots four and five, allowing the Secret Service time to cover Trump? Why would Crooks wait 2 seconds and not keep firing through his sights, and then fire two shots way off target hitting the audience members Corey Comperatore and James Copenhaver?

Alexander's analysis claims that five shots were fired by Crooks, while the sound signatures analyzed by Chris Mortensen of Peak Prosperity and Health Ranger (of Natural News) show that the audio forensics of the first three are different from the rest.

In keeping with the title of the post, I decided to put my skills as a former film director and editor to work doing some rudimentary audio analysis from the main camera (stationary) used by Right Side Broadcasting that day, and included in Oliver Alexander's analysis of projectiles and victims to see if Mortensen's 100% conclusion of a 2nd shooter holds weight.

First things first.

Some basics of firearm audio:

• First Sound: The muzzle blast, which is the immediate sound of the gunpowder igniting and the projectile being expelled from the firearm's barrel. This can be delayed with the location of the projectile depending on the microphone's (human ears) distance to the firearm.

• Second Sound:

  • Sonic Boom: If the projectile is traveling faster than the speed of sound, you will hear a sharp crack or whip-like sound as it breaks the sound barrier (approximately 343 meters per second or 1125 feet per second at sea level).

  • Echo: The reflection of the muzzle blast sound off of nearby surfaces such as walls, buildings, or natural features. This echo can be perceived as a secondary sound following the initial muzzle blast, especially in environments where reflections are prominent.

This first image shows the difference between the audio signatures of Trump speaking and when the shooting begins. It does not include the 9th shot (faint) that we hear exactly ten seconds after the 8th shot.

Now let's zoom in on the shots alone and see if we can accurately label the shots and echoes. Each shot has an echo signature that should match the distance (as measured in time or ms) from the shot. Shots one, two, and three clearly show a uniform sound signature between shots and echoes.

Shots 6-8 show some anomalies from the first five shots, indicating that we have a second gun going off in addition to similar sound signatures to the gun used in shots 1-3.

Before we zoom into that group of shots and clean up the background noises to locate shot signatures and echoes, Mortensen in the above video claims they are different in sound but the shots and echoes of rounds 4 and 5 pretty much line up with shots 1-3 in the image below. They all reveal exactly (more or less) the same millisecond differential or two squares on the grid of the following image between shot and echo.

Listen to 1-3 and 4-5 isolated for sound uniformity. The shots (or cracks) are rather high-pitched "SNAP" sounds peaking higher in decibels, followed by lower register echoes.

Here are shots 1-5 isolated with MUTED screaming, yelling, and other background noises. I've added 1.5 seconds between shots 4-5 to isolate those sound signatures from each other since they happen in quick succession. In doing this the echoes of 4 and 5 do not resonate as long after and are cut off compared to shots 1-3 and sound different. They have more of a whooshing-to-silence (cut-off) sound—my editing. But the caliber and rifle used in 4 and 5 sound similar to the "SNAP" and echoes of shots 1-3.

After shot five things become quite muddled, and the hysteria of the crowd doesn't make things easier. But we begin to have audio anomalies that now need to be explained by sniper fire, according to the official story.

The shots and echoes begin to differ from the first five shots and become shorter on shot 6 and then have no echoes on either 7-8 or 7-9 depending on how we label the final shots (excluding the very last one exactly ten seconds later) which has its own distinct sound signature.

The audio register of the final two shots is very distinguishable from the previous six, with a much deeper sound probably from a different caliber.

The lack of echo might be explained by the different caliber, the speed of the projectile (lacking sonic boom), and the trajectory of the projectile, assuming these rounds are from the sniper team on the roof barn furthest from Crooks. They travel behind the grandstands from a higher elevation meaning the sound went out into different directions from the camera's microphone and Trump's microphone, while the first five projectiles (we might assume according to the official story) went through the grandstands in front of the cameras and nearer Trump's microphone.

Listen to shots 1-5 isolated without crowd noises in equal succession (edited), with two seconds of silence followed by shots 7 and 8.

The last two sound like a deeper "CLICK" with no echo signature instead of higher "SNAP" sounds with clear echo signatures.

Let's move closer in on 6-8 now to see if we can better make sense of these rounds and the anomalies between shots and echoes, and no echoes.

The distance of echoes to shots on six and seven do not match and shot seven's echo is louder and more pronounced. Eight sounds like a different caliber, and while similar to shot seven, no echo is detected with the noise of the crowd possibly hiding it.

Regular speed shots 6-8.

For anyone interested here are five minutes of video of me playing around in Adobe Audition with shots 6-8. I look for shot signatures (higher peaks) versus echo signatures (lower peaks). I check for similar signatures of each between the three shots while trying to find the echo for shot eight within the crowd noise. Finally, around the third minute, I remove the crowd noise and attempt to isolate each signature to see if the above labeling matches.

Any number of these three shots may be snipers, with the final two shots sounding different from the first five, while the sixth is debatable since it has a different echo signature from the first five. For the official story, seven or eight would need to be the kill shot. Shots five or six may have been the shooter's final shot, assuming there were no other shooters stationed behind Crooks and those were fired by him.

My amateur three-hour analysis concludes the following:

• Shots 1-5 similar audio signatures (shot + echo)

• Shot 6 is similar to 1-5 with the echo paired closer to the shot indicating another shooter with a similar caliber in a different location

• Shots 7-8 are similar in audio signature with 8 lacking an echo

• Shot 9 was not analyzed here but sounds different from all the rest with no echo signature. It sounds distant and suppressed.

There is plenty of cherry-picking of evidence going on to support narratives around the assassination attempt last Saturday.

Other anomalies were noticed by the masses over the past week…

The "water tower" gunman has made the rounds. This theory doesn't hold up with video evidence. The pixelated shadow of the nob atop the tower while zoomed in shows pixelated shadow movements, not a second gunman though people who want to see a second gunman will certainly see one. How his shots line up with the stated victims and video evidence is never made clear by the supporters of this theory.

The trajectory from there doesn't account for ballistics angles, nor wounded including the headshot on Comperatore. The screen was too high for a water tower gunman to hit the hydraulic line, account for the photographic round, magically shot by Doug Mills a New York Times photographer who just happened to be in that classroom with George W. Bush on the morning of 9/11 with the children reciting those odd words—KITE, STEEL, PLANE, MUST, HIT.

Isn't it incredible that in the year 2024, we have 8k resolution cameras, and not a single source present that day has uploaded a source file at high resolution that hasn't been compressed into MP4 files at 1080p resolution and then recompressed again by social media uploads?

That leaves us with zoomed-in pixelated garbage that looks like it was shot on a Motorolla flip phone from 2004.

The women in the crowd who lacked situational awareness and exhibited strange behavior behind Trump, looked suspiciously like the assistant director of the FBI. This confirmed what people had already concluded in their minds—the "deep state" was involved directly. But why would they risk something so stupid and obvious?

An anonymous woman has since come forward to confess to multiple sources that she was the woman in question to several figures of the Mainstream Alternative Media including Candace Owens, but unless she comes forward to show her face and give her name, people won't be satisfied.

Klaus Schwab's sauna boy, Yuval Harari's recent comments that "If Trump becomes President again in 2024 it will be the final death blow to the Global Order" has been used as cherry-picked proof the "deep state" was behind the attempt to take him out before God intervened.

The cherry-pickers have taken this to mean the "Globalists" or New World Order. Using simple reverse psychology, if you wanted to get people to believe Trump was the man to eliminate the "Globalists" this is exactly the kind of thing you'd want Harari to communicate to Trump supporters or even those on the fence. People who will vote for Hillary(?) do not care what people like Harari say. Trump has since hinted at naming CEO of Blackrock Larry Fink as his Treasury Secretary in case you didn't have doubts about the "deep state" motivations to "take out Trump."

Then there's the short position in by Austin Private Wealth allegedly made "the day before" the shooting, proving that this fund had advanced knowledge and was trying to profit off of Trump's death and subsequent collapsing stock since Trump is the only major celebrity keeping that attention network "Truth Social" a popular echo chamber. Igor Chudov covered this in a post as did 2nd Smartest Guy In the Room, as clear evidence someone knew Trump was going to be killed that day.

Dig deeper into Chudov's post and you'll see that it's much less criminally evident than the cherry pickers are making it out to be. Suspicious? Yes. Criminal evidence of advanced knowledge? Hardly.

What do we know about this odd financial bet? One thing to note is that it was made sometime before it was reported on the 13F filing: form 13F must be filed after the end of the quarter, and in this case, refers to the position as of the end of the second quarter, or 6/30/2024.

This means more than two weeks before the shooting (not the day before as people are claiming) and maybe even long before that filing deadline, the position was opened, NOT the day before.

Buying put options (shorting the stock) also requires an expiration date for the put options. If they were set to expire after the election, the fund may have been betting that Trump would become President in November and sometime between November and taking office would divest his shares in , selling many of them or putting them into a trust.

Another possibility is that Trump divests from AND Elon Musk, who is giving $45 million each month to Trump's campaign and happens to live in Austin where this fund is located lures Trump back to Twitter (X) for his regular digital performance. In advance of the election, Trump might be using that platform more, and this fund might have had insider information on this. It would all depend on when those put options expire, but it can easily be chalked up to other motivations. It's certainly not as damning as Larry Silverstein taking out a $4 Billion insurance policy on the Twin Towers in the months before they were brought down, while he conveniently had a doctor's appointment the morning of, diverting from his habit of eating breakfast at the top of tower one.

Then there's the video footage (Zoomed in) of Trump's ear, that claims to show it getting clipped by a bullet or a bug. This is a hoax video clearly, as the image has been horizontally flipped in editing software and shows the American flag side of his hat and not the 45/47 side of his hat above his right ear. That video has tens of millions of views and continues to make the rounds with the "critical thinkers."

Add to that the UFO video making the rounds which I could create myself using AfterFX in about five minutes.

Then there are many posts on how there would have been much more blood if Trump was hit by a bullet in the ear, and why that blood would not appear so bright red for so long afterward once oxygenated, since it turns dark red. Make of that what you will. It's not like the average person knows what an ear shot should "look like" on their programming screens.

Some hot shots on YouTube recreate two ear shots using what they suspect was the gunman's caliber. One grazes the side, the other takes out a meaty portion of a ballistic's dummy test skull.

That's it for me Good Citizens, on this topic.

I've spent about twenty hours this week going through as much footage and attention network feed as possible in my spare time. I have no intention to persuade readers to arrive at one conclusion or another on this event. Only to continue to think before doing so and wait for more information in the future. Future outcomes are often pretty good clues to past events.

In the meantime, minds will make of it what they need. We all have our biases and sometimes need our conclusions to match them.

The truth will eventually meander to the forefront and be there for those interested.

Oh, looky what happened today, that none of us could have predicted last year. It's almost as if this entire (s)election pageantry is…staged.

Time for Trump to return to sell what needs to be sold to conservatives? War with Iran for Israel? Larry Fink as Treasury Secretary? Continued war in Ukraine? More "draining the swamp" with trillion-dollar money printing?

Next week the two flock features that were postponed for this week will appear, probably one on Wednesday, and one on Saturday. One is on the U.S. housing market, and the other is on Simps, Incels and Volcels. Join the flock to read those or to support more free works like this. Your patronage is always appreciated.
