Government’s “Flavor Change” plus “The Mark of the Phone”

Dinner out with friends last night didn’t help Elaine or me to clarify our worldview.  Our dinner companions are just as unsure about the latest change in “American Dynamics” as are we when it comes to swiping the head of Venezuela and “perp-walking” him and his wife.

As a dynamic systems integrator in my thinking, I’m always looking for the right “reusable thought template” because while humans deeply believe everything believed “original” the fact is only a few “word changes” are involved most of the time.  The core “if–>then” templates formed by decades of stimulus-response in life?  Those are cast.

Remember that old story about where Standard Gauge Railroad Tracks came from?  The width of two Roman Legions (full battle dress) marching side-by-side.  Whether true specifically doesn’t matter; humans think in similar ruts.  Called templates.  (Which is actually great because I can take an old Mark Twain ‘writer’s template” – update subject/nouns – and suddenly Ure is an innovative thinker.)

That’s our appetizer to set the table. Now, on to?

Trump in the Kitchen

The role of the President is to “keep a great nation cooking.”  Our latest South American adventure seems likely to collapse into the global war with China. But it won’t be visible for a while, yet.

See, to Trump, the snatch – headlined in one paper today as “Lunatic Capture’s Madman” – no doubt tastes like the “chef’s kiss.”  We got a massive oil reserve, strategic metals, and we’ve gone from liberal feminization with low-T to American Capitalism, balls to the wall.  But now comes the tasting spoon for the watching class.

Not everyone is buying that this as a good move: UN chief Guterres raises concerns about instability in Venezuela, legality of US operation, Our chef-in-chief took care not to over-season by ignoring the other contender to lead Venezuela:  Why Trump Refused to Back Venezuela’s Machado: Fears of Chaos, and Fraying Ties – The New York Times

Trump is now saying Venezuela is “not ready” for wide-open elections yet.  The chef wants things to simmer a bit.

Our dinner pals – nearly our age range – were nearly in in sync with Gen Z is treating world-changing politics like edge-lord slop.

Besides, if Venezuela blows up (figuratively or real-time) we already have a fallback: Stephen Miller Asserts U.S. Has Right to Take Greenland. Denmark is pissed.

What troubles us is that zoomed out, doesn’t mean China can TAKE Taiwan under similar FBTFW (too big to fk with) logic?  Global Powers Lebensraum?  What could go wrong?

Regardless, we expect all world governments will soon miss the “good old days” of population control via disease.  Which tees up?  Seasonal flu activity continues to increase in US: Report.  All purely coincidental, we’re sure.

For now, Venezuela’s New Leader Delcy Rodríguez Is Who Global Oil Wanted All Along – Bloomberg. It has such a nice bouquet to it, non?

The Incomprehensible Sideshow Chef

He doesn’t “speak in tongues”, but in “tweet fragments” while two dishes – simmering on the stove – approach “burned” and “oops – broke the sauce.”

With chef’s Venezuela sauce simmering,Trump Says Venezuela Isn’t Ready for Elections: Live Updates – The New York Times).  Giving us time to focus on the Domestic pot.

This one threatens to burn as Epstein files: 2 million records in various stages of review, DOJ says. And DoJ as had them how long?

Then there’s the Walz waltzing away. Too much “heat in the kitchen for him” on the Somali missing money problem.  The Tim Walz Saga Shows Why Debunking Conspiracy Theories Doesn’t Work

Here’s another bubble in the Dometic pot: Alleged JD Vance home vandal is child of wealthy local doctor — who recently changed name. Yes from a male pronoun to to a not-so-male.

And for liberal code talkers that got onboard against Trump early (or at least we cast that way)? Pete Hegseth Moves Against Senator Mark Kelly.

All busy and noisy in the kitchen, as click-hungry diners wait.

Get your head out of food, though.  Here’s what matters in pattern recognition:

Kudos for G.A. Stewart

In lag-lord media, the real bad LLMs, no one (well, except us) will remind you about how a blow-up off Venezuela might turn into WW III.  Except G.A. Stewart. Let’s back up:

Long-time readers will recall that Nostradamus never predicted events the way modern pundits do. He didn’t name countries, years, or leaders. Instead, he described conditions — symbolic geographies, natural features, animals, and pressures — the way a systems analyst might describe a failure mode without naming the part number. That’s why his work keeps resurfacing whenever global systems strain.

One of his recurring symbols is a hot, watery land associated with reptilian beasts — often rendered in modern language as the “land of crocodiles” (or, more loosely, alligators). Nostradamus used animals the way medieval writers always did: as shorthand for terrain, climate, and temperament. Later interpreters, including our long-time friend and noted Nostradamus scholar G.A. Stewart, have argued that this imagery fits parts of the New World, not just Europe/Africa — tropical, river-dominated regions unknown to Europeans in the 1500s.

There’s a problem in Nostradamus, though. The big slithering reptile nation can also be applied to Egypt – and in that context might be seen as the war escalation following an Israel pop of Iran which is (by some accounts) building nukes again.

Modern Interpretive Problem is? Nostradamus could never be too accurate in his forecasts.  Dude doubtlessly had an allergy to guillotines.

This is where places like Venezuela get pulled into the discussion — not because Nostradamus named them as specific countries (Remember his Hister read?  The longest debunking streak in history…) – but because they fit the symbolic template unusually well: vast river systems, swampy lowlands, resource wealth that “springs” from the earth, and persistent pressure from larger outside powers.

In Nostradamus language, wars don’t always begin at the center of empires. Sometimes they spring from the margins, where resources, instability, and foreign interests intersect.

The key point isn’t whether Nostradamus “predicted” World War III, but how he framed conflict. Big wars, in his telling, often begin far from the capitals, in places dismissed as peripheral — until they aren’t. As with markets, history tends to break first where the stress is highest and the system is least stable. Whether you believe the prophecy or not, the pattern itself is worth watching.

You may not need to watch too long.  (Stu will correct me on this, but…)

Nostradamus warned that the great destabilization would arrive not with marching armies, but when the “King of Terrors” descends from the sky — a phrase vague enough to survive centuries, yet unsettlingly compatible with modern weapons, missiles, and things that don’t land gently. Whether one reads that as prophecy or pattern, history’s lesson is the same: when pressure builds at the margins, resolution rarely stays local.  But nuclear war or the Sun X-classing Earth?

Keep your eyes up — and maybe those summer goggles closer than usual. I’m thinking #14 welding goggles.

Around the Ranch:  Mark of the Phone

You will soon have to have a working cellphone in order to eat.  No, that’s not alarmist – it happened to us Monday!  Here’s how it went down:

A home delivery of groceries from a big-name retailer (Walmart) arrived about 11 AM Monday. Normally not grist for the column, but two things – both of which illustrated how society is “digitally screwed.”

  1. You need 2FA now to Eat.

If you order home delivery. Yeah, sounds crazy. But here’s the digital fact.

I like our Walmart delivery driver – nice fellow. But he futzed and diddled from some number of minutes Monday trying to figure out how to close out my order (that I had already signed for).

Seems the “geniuses of Bentonville” have decided that in order to receive food, anymore, you need to HAVE A CODE.

Which gets us to the second problem: Cell phones don’t work here.

2. Cellphone Imperialism

My driver asked “Can you just get me the phone from your delivery text?”

Whereupon I patiently explained:

  • We don’t get texts.
  • Because we don’t have cell service. Except via Starlink and I don’t phone home.
  • And I’d already shut down the office email where the delivery code was sent as email.

I know – Mark of the Beast Phone is here.  Well, except when you previously heard about Revelation 13:16–18, it was likely in terms of the Mark being “on your hand” or on your (fore)head.  Go back a couple of thousand years and would that be an ancient way to describe HANDSET – as in Phone?

This will all blow up in rural lands over the next 2-3 years when big carriers ditch running copper lines to the woods – just too expensive.  Buddy Dr. John (yes, a real dr.) tells me the inside dope is a LOT of rural America will lose cellphone towers, too. Because the Bigs are planning to take down towers if there isn’t (cheap) highspeed fiber nearby – which there isn’t out here.  (My mind was reeling after that dropped…) But back to our story:

Eventually, I agreed – poor fellow earns based on deliveries completed) – to go over an retrieve the Food Code.  I wasn’t “taking the mark of the beast” but retrieving an email is close…

Geniuses of Bentonville, II

All of which sounds like Kafka wasn’t a victim – more like a Coder for a big box store,  Because the second proof of spreading digital darkness over the world came as I received a message to review…what???

I couldn’t help myself.  I wrote a blistering one star review.  Not because of the product; hell I’ve been eating Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom Soup for 75-years.

My bitch wasn’t with the soup (or even Walmart – been in and out of its stock over the years).  No, my bitch was about digital imperialism.  Where some sonofbitch thinks because I bought a can of their GD soup they can impose on MY TIME AND BANDWIDTH by asking me silly-shit questions any six-year old who can write a SQ:L query could answer!

“Hmm. Ure has ordered 47-cans of mushroom soup in the past year – can we assume he likes it!”

But NO.  Not good even.  They need to scale it.  Por que?  Who are they kidding?  Self-important marketing imperialism is becoming the New Make Work Bureaucracy!

Just as we begin to drive cretins out of Government, some portion are moving into Marketing.

Where’s God when there’s some real smiting to be done.

Oh, look.  I have been asked to review Mozzarella cheese sticks!

And you think I was kidding when I wrote my book Downsizing about how complexity brings down the whole of Sandpile Earth?

AI – say what you will about it – does understand respect. And apparently better than the humans behind it.

  2. Folks are forgetting that China was in discussions with Venezuela for most of the day. Asian Guy on youtube claims that Russia/China conducted their own extraction days before the operation. They extracted virtually all of Venezuela treasury SILVER ……..

    • Asian Guy seems to be some generic and probably free AI construct that anyone can use to create their own personal AI slop. I’ve seen “him” promoting both holding silver and selling it, and claiming that China took the Venezuelan PM’s as well as one where the US got there first. In the fog of war and AG, apparently anything will do for clicks. He’s also equal opportunity, branching out into areas that have nothing to do with PM’s, such as this one on the Utopia mouse experiment and its comparison to the state of the modern world:

  4. Cellphone Imperialism

    No Worries George, if you can’t afford a cellphone one will be provided to you with a blockchain wallet onboard.

    Try using VoIP and WiFi calling with your gubmint issued smart device and wallet (no pun).

    That universal service fee everyone pays on their phone bill every month is there for just such an occasion, I believe space Ex was looking for some of this money as well to help offset costs of covering white spaces.

    Good luck.

  5. Surprised at you George
    the VZ invasion was purely a dollar preservation event. Venezuela has been selling oil to China for yuan. If that kept up, the flight from the dollar would intensify. We took at Iraq and Lybia when they tried de-petrodollarization. Maduro had to go for the same reason.
    you certainly know that if the dollar crashes so does our economy…big time.
    Without the continued strength of the dollar, we won’t have the capacity to develop Greenland or anywhere else.
    So the boys pulling Donnie’s pud must keep that value set going or the game comes apart.

  6. Thank you George for the kind words.

    Interesting timing, last night I had a dream that my late mother was showing me how to turn our old basement into a bomb shelter, followed by another dream of my ex-wife saying that I was right.

    Maybe as you read in my last post, I am particularly worried about the following Nostradamus Quatrain right now.

    THE AFFLUENT SUDDENLY CAST DOWN

    Nostradamus Quatrain VIII-17
    The affluent suddenly cast down,
    By three brothers the world miserable and troubled,
    Marine city seized by enemies,
    Famine, fire, blood, pestilence, and all evils doubled.

    Nostradamus and The Third Age of Mars, The Prophecies of World War III, G. A. Stewart, 2019, Page 536
    “The affluent suddenly cast down” brings us back to Quatrain VIII-14 and the hint that “the great credit of gold and abundance of silver” may refer to The Global Economic Collapse.

    “Les trois freres” I suspect is Nostradamus’ reference to the three superpowers. Obviously, if they go to war they can bring “misery and trouble to the world”.

    Nostradamus and The Third Age of Mars, The Prophecies of World War III, G. A. Stewart, 2019, Page 537
    However, I am more inclined to believe that “Cité marine” may be the marine bases that China has built on made-made islands in the South China Sea, which the United States military has threatened to destroy.

    Nostradamus and The Third Age of Mars 2024, G. A. Stewart, 2023, Page 832
    This Quatrain follows what I call The Clinton Triplicate Series. It is part of the trigger for The Global Economic Collapse. I suggest that whatever happens in Gaza regarding The First Blow of Steel results in China’s invasion of Taiwan or an incident with some of the smaller islands in the South China Sea that China claims ownership.

    As I recognized in my 2017 book was that you can only move the chess pieces a finite amount of times before you start taking pieces.

    Nostradamus and The Third Age of Mars, Volume I, G. A. Stewart, 2017, Page 84
    The Russian government cannot possibly trust any word that they hear from Washington or Brussels. Russian President Vladimir Putin is a skilled martial artist and chess player. Clearly concerned with NATO’s meddling in Ukraine and the placement of missiles in Romania, Russia feels threatened. In both martial arts and chess, prepositioning for combat can only go so far.

    The war between NATO and Russia is finally here.

    Russia started taking chess pieces in 2022.

    Donald J. Trump just had the U.S. military take a Chinese pawn.

    Here is what I wrote in 2023:

    Nostradamus and The Third Age of Mars 2024, G. A. Stewart, 2023, Page 298
    Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel stated on December 8th, 2022, that The Minsk Agreement served to buy time to rearm Ukraine. “The 2014 Minsk agreement was an attempt to give Ukraine time.” A war with Russia was always part of the Globalist’s agenda.

    China will never allow that to happen in the Pacific.

    Unless the United States and NATO have some TR-3Bs hidden somewhere, NATO equipment is behind the curve, especially in hypersonic missile technology. Do you think China is going to allow the U.S. and NATO to rearm? We have reached a critical point when Chinese Generals are going to say, should we let them take Cuba and more of South America?

    Nostradamus Epistle: Paragraph 53:2
    And such great tribulations that will never have occurred since the first foundation of the Christian Church and covering all the regions of the Latins. Leaving vestiges of its effect in some countries of the Spanish.

    TRANSLATION: Nostradamus Epistle: Paragraph 53:2
    This will be the great tribulation, and it will extend all through Italy and Spain, even leaving traces of its effect in South America.

    Maybe very soon is the time that the Chinese will move on Taiwan?

    That’s when all the macho Oorah bravado collapses. China may see war with the United States as an inevitability and go directly to nuclear weapons. That also applies to the United States.

    Donald J. Trump had the power to chop the head off of the Deep State snake and leave the neoconservatives and the social engineers leaderless, preventing World War III, or at least delaying it while the United States updated its military.

    Silver is about to take out all fiat currencies, and now they need a war to divert blame from Western leadership. Will a few more pawns have to fall or will China go right for a three-point piece like Taiwan?

    I’m taking those dreams last night as a clue, because I remember the dreams that I had just before my recent surgery.

    • “Donald J. Trump just had the U.S. military take a Chinese pawn.”

      I would suggest that Venezuela is/was a Russian pawn. All those 100’s of thousands of Drones manufactured down there went somewhere besides the Chi-Coms.

      We be on the Red Kachina timeline now – for how long ? switch back to blue Kachina time line very possible, but Red says Chinese invasion of CONUS via Commissar Gruesome.

      Dont turn around -https://youtu.be/vBfFDTPPlaM?si

    • watching the Don on the flight from Florida to DC the other night, as “journalist” shouted questions ……. interesting comment by the Don … saying something like “its a deal” ….. “life’s nothing but a deal” so he said ………… so who knows what “deals” Don-man has made with China/Russia and others …. just seems all to scripted …… bunker down folks

      “it just doesn’t matter”

    • I’ll repeat what I posted 4 days ago in the comments section (not acknowledged by GU)

      “Venezuela is often referred to as the crocodile due to the Orinoco crocodile, which is a significant part of the country’s biodiversity and natural heritage. The Orinoco crocodile is a critically endangered species native to the Orinoco River basin.”

      If you’re looking for a hook to Toulouse from another quatrain – there is a Toulouse in Mexico, a country close to Venezuela.

      Nightmare scenario – Bermuda is a British Overseas Territory in the North Atlantic Ocean. The closest land outside the territory is in the US state of North Carolina, about 1,035 km (643 mi) to the west-northwest.

      Major centre for cruise ships and shipping insurance. All those ships anchored in the Great Sound. Somerset, Hamilton, St George all sounding so English to a seer but so far removed. Hidden cargo, strategic location.
      Breadcrumbs……..maybe the Blow of Steel is not in the ME but closer to home?

    • Stu,
      Thanks for all your work mate.
      History, rightly, will remember you.
      I recall some commentary you have made a number of times regarding one of Nostradamus’ predictions regarding global conflict……
      Something about a nation whose flag is coloured blue, red and orange will be at the centre of immense fighting.
      Armenia is often inferred here.
      But could it be Venezuela?
      Venezuelas’ flag is blue, red and yellow.
      Something to ponder further perhaps, as we edge ever closer toward the American Glass Car Park (AKA The Big Karma Sandwich)?

  7. GU : “… some sonofbitch thinks because I bought a can of their GD soup they can impose on MY TIME AND BANDWIDTH by asking me silly-shit questions …”

    This, the invasion into my cellular life makes me angry too George. Not that I ever write that one star review. I have had a mobile (think : enormous bag phone) for >35 years. It’s how every interaction with cell provider begins. Uhm, please look up my historical record. Then comes a modicum of respect. I don’t hop carrier to carrier (fine if you do, I don’t).

    The most pestering is not from dual authentication prompts, but from medical services. I have let Sr. Physicians know if too much bother it would cause disconnect. Dr : from our services? No, from the textual badgering. Dr : but how? I will inform you the (in-service) number has been abandoned. Me : then what does your CMS system do? Dr : revert to calling you.

    Ding-ding-ding. Let’s do that. Here’s the landline number already in your CMS sys. I retain it to capture audio messages on an old school answering machine plugged into a VOIP wifi sys and … that works for me (providing a human takes my inbound return call). Fight back sez me!

    IMO, best to look elsewhere when thinking the Venezuela hub-bub causes issues with China. Despite all the understandable angst, it’s my belief we will never come to blows with the Chinese. We are co-dependant (think Dependz) and will never fight.

    Check a few more boxes and we get less strife and more trade. Each box is it’s own conundrum but … there’s a work-out for each. This does not cause me to be bullish. Cycles look worn, charts are wobbly. Watch for reversals.

  8. re: “Flavor Change”, ‘Das Boot’, 1981
    feat: Saltbox House, Manalapan, Fl.

    Soup kitchens, hold the crab bisque! A Palm Beach area realtor has informed msm that the Saltbox House in Manalapan, Fl., belonging to a late Campbell Soup heiress is coming to market for $85 million. Manalapan is said to derive from the aboriginal Lenape language of the New Jersey region meaning “good to eat”.

    A daughter of the late heiress apparently is taking over her mother’s vacant seat on the Cambell Soup board. However it seems her most recent public business enterprise has been in London refloating a failed cobbler of premium womens boots. Interestingly the company offers no bricks-and-mortar address, only an online presence. Their handmade boot manufacture is centered around the ancient Roman metropolis of Portus Cale (“The Crossing Place”). Nowadays it’s simply Porto, Portugal.

    • re: a future godmother, 1982
      feat: “The Rise of Skywalker”, 2019

      On the day of Epiphany, the President of the Ukraine updated his public travel blog with a red-carpeted arrival in Paris for the Coalition of the Willing Summit. A group photo of attending leaders locates the German Chancellor taking refuge in the second row. EC President Dr. von der Leyen slightly dropped the hems on her kletterhose matched up with a white top to produce an ensemble conveying tint of a League of German Girls from the 1930’s.

      Beside her, Italian PM Meloni had chosen a floor length thoughtful grey skirt and matching business jacket perchance the men took up arms and wished to dance. ChatGPT suggested the ensemble might be an Armani. PM Meloni also included a (Marian?) blue-green blouse which translated as a plunging “V”. Apparently it is an eligible Epiphany colour indicative of Christ’s baptism in the Jordan River. As chance would have it, Lt. Gen. Budanov, President Zelensky’s office leader, made his only Telegram post of the week thus far. He saluted the occasion of the Epiphany and Christ’s baptism in the Jordan River. He informs all that “God and Ukraine are with us”.

      [One of the odd quirks of history is that the real-life U-boat 96 of “Das Boot” noted above ended its 11th and final patrol without loss of crew life at Königsberg (“King’s Mountain”). It’s now more commonly called Kaliningrad (“City of Glorious Victory”), Russia.] This past weekend a 2019 report began recirculating on “X” concerning the US First Lady. The original was published by volunteer-run Italian media outlet of no apparent fixed address named “Il Faro Sul Mondo” (the lighthouse over the world / a guiding light for the world) at the following weblink:

      https://ilfarosulmondo.it/jeffrey-epstein-us-communist-first-lady-melania-godfather-wiped-out/

      What are the odds that the lifestories of two future presidents of Russia and the USA would allegedly link in 1982 at Dresden via a castoff 12 year old Yugoslav girl destined to be a future US First Lady? Cue “A Star is Born” 1937, or perhaps “What Price Hollywood?”,1932? Interestingly the settlement of Sevnica markets itself as Mrs. Trump’s Slovenian hometown. However her actual place of birth is considered to be Novo Mesto (“Newly Founded City”).

      Novo Mesto on the Krka (“Murmuring”) River began as a preplanned urban space in 1365. It started out as Rudolfswert (“Rudolf’s Island”) after founder Duke Rudolf IV of Habsburg, son-in-law of Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV. Duke Rudolf took it upon himself to elevate Austria to Archduchy grade of higher imperial status than those around it by allegedly forging a Privilegium Maius (“The Greater Charter”). The forgery finally received acceptance in 1453 from the Habsburgs coinciding with the end of the Eastern Roman Empire. After that their ruling plan seemed arguably on track until someone shot the Archduke in 1914.

      President Trump’s Scottish maternal ancestry often receives mention alone. However his paternal German ancestry routes via political 19th century Bavarian borders through his grandfather. For what it’s worth, this Palatine geographic territory origin of the time was ruled by a count who holds lesser standing than the First Lady’s original territorial ruler of duke. She outranks the President.

      Considering President Trump as the current most powerful of Bavarian descent, the last arguably was Pope Benedict XVI who stepped down in 2013. His influencer St. Benedict of Nursia lived soon after the fall of Rome. He is famous for the Rule of St. Benedict which offered stability through chaotic centuries to follow.

      The public record suggests that the name of the First Son, Barron, was decided upon by Mrs. Trump. The double “r” is said to be equivalent to an elite English spelling. Also the name Barron is unlike typical Slovenian naming habits, and the baron title is not part of the Hapsburg imperial hierarchy. As chance would have it though, it did see popularity in the First French Empire of Napoleon Bonaparte.

      Is anyone starting to wonder about who has control when the door to the Presidential Bedroom is closed? Of course officially patriarchal power resides with a fast-talking real estate developer from Queens. At the same time, maybe a woman who speaks six languages allegedly including Russian can talk circles around him? And unlike the former Mrs. Gates, she simply updated her pre-nup and soldiered on with the plan. Is she the Empire’s Rey of sunshine like the fictional granddaughter of Emperor Palpatine in the 2019 movie?

      Hmmmm.

      Thanks for reading my ramble.

  9. yep his royal highness aka president has turned everything into a joke to suit him and his mates . what a joke . just wait for the next shock thing , cant be far away.

  10. “Trump”

    Trump apologists will apologize. I don’t know what the condition is named but clearly it’s a psychological condition. We need a spreadsheet of characteristics.

    “Mark of the Phone”

    All of our info is out there. I receive a couple of data breach litigation notices per year now. The latest is going to send me $50.00 as a so-sorry. Last year T-Mobile gave me 5 years of identity theft protection for their data breach. Which leaves the question of what to do when the identity monitoring services are eventually breached. I did recently apply for credit and the service did text me right away so speed matters.

    Back to the phone, what if someone ordered Fentanyl ingredients and had them delivered to your place? .gov has to be sure you did or did not do it.

    All my accounts have two piece Multi-Factor Authentication – ‘something you know, something you have’ and “something you are” is yet to come.

  11. Here’s a classic –

    Hacktivist deletes white supremacist websites live onstage during hacker conference

    “As of this writing, WhiteDate, which Hoffmann described as a “Tinder for Nazis”; WhiteChild, a site that claimed to match white supremacists’ sperm and egg donors; and WhiteDeal, a sort-of Taskrabbit-esque labor marketplace for racists, are all offline.

    The administrator of the three websites confirmed the hack on their social media accounts.

    “They publicly delete all my websites while the audience rejoices. This is cyberterrorism,” the administrator wrote on X on Sunday, vowing repercussions.”

  12. Slightly OT, but aligns neatly with GA Stewart’s recent remark about impending hell on Earth. For some this is way over the top; others will see a cascade of puzzle pieces click into place. Slightly disjointed section where he’s spliced in short clips from his previous videos.
    Standard disclaimer: I don’t necessarily believe or agree with everything ANYone says, as no human being knows everything.
    However, the events depicted here really took place, the video footage of those events is real. The Vatican opening portals (their word) Dec 2024. The creepy tunnel ceremony, etc. There’s an equally creepy opening ceremony for CERN, but not in this video. Take what’s useful to you, disregard what isn’t. This guy has multiple channels, similar names, search YT while he’s still up.

    The weird-flying-things footage was originally posted on this channel with a regrettably goofy name:

    To solidly your trust and faith in The System; this group has also done some digging into the vast waste of water/power by data centers, the death by a thousand cuts of our family-owned farms, etc. D’Lynn wasn’t exaggerating about having reason to be depressed.

    Because we’re likely only weeks away from biometric ID being required for Internet use, and we’re already at the point where real is indistinguishable from fake, this is probably my last comment. You may recall Obama’s speech about throwing so many conflicting things at people they will no longer know what to believe. Apparently AI falls under that heading. E-gods may flatter you, seduce you, and bewitch you — but they are not your saviors. The consequences of choosing unwisely will not be avoided.

    My best wishes to all going forward.

  13. When the biosecurity came aboard we were informed that they sent us an e-mail that we failed to respond to… when we asked? It was six days after we departed. We said we were underway and had no means to get the message. She said, “Don’t you have comms?
    Nope. Only Iridium for weather. Out of touch. So she gave us a good scolding and moved on.
    Then came the bill for entry. 512 in local currency plus 120 for taking our garbage bag. A credit card would do. I asked if we could pay cash. Nope. No cash for payment allowed. So I asked what if some old bloke with a personal stash and no credit card came in? Nope. Would have to open a bank account and go from there. No exceptions.
    Good thing we were properly equipped. Phone would not have mattered.

  14. Goldie Ghamari is a Canadian / Iranian and former Member of the Ontario Parliament. This is her interview with Glenn Beck. It is incredibly prescient:

    “In case you missed it, here’s my interview with @glennbeck on the ongoing Iranian Revolution and why Iranians are fighting to overthrow the terrorist Islamic Republic and want the Shah of Iran to transition Iran from a totalitarian Islamic Dictatorship to a democracy:”

  15. Back about 18 years ago, a new employer told me that you will buy a cell phone, and you will carry it.
    Not sure how you do internet commerce and banking without a cell phone for corporate mandated 2FA. You claiming a religious exemption ?
    There are outfits which allow for cell phone, email and voice mail 2FA, but they are rare.
    One of my subs now requires BOTH cell phone AND email 2FA.
    I don’t put email on a cell phone. Losing both email and cell phone control would be catastrophic.

  16. ” UN chief Guterres raises concerns about instability in Venezuela, legality of US operation, Our chef-in-chief took care not to over-season by ignoring the other contender to lead Venezuela: Why Trump Refused to Back Venezuela’s Machado: Fears of Chaos, and Fraying Ties – The New York Times”

    Didn’t read either one, but I will tell you:

    I don’t give a rat’s ass what a tinpot commie at the U.N. has to say about anything.

    Machado would not live long enough to see her furniture arranged in the Presidential digs. She SHOULD become da Prez, and is the rightful leader of Venezuela, but not yet. Let Trump take out the trash, first…

  17. “This one threatens to burn as Epstein files: 2 million records in various stages of review, DOJ says. And DoJ as had them how long?”

    How long has the Trump DoJ had them?
    Why is the SDNY so-entrenched that they can stash a couple hundred thousand docs away from the DoJ, keep them hidden under Court Order, and refuse to even let Bondi or the FBI have a peek at them?

  18. “You need 2FA now to Eat.”

    Nearly every vendor who offers two factor authentication allows its customers/clients to opt out.

    I would never use 2FA for any website or vendorspace from which I was not doing direct cash exchanges. For everything online, I have a VISA debit card attached to a bank account that I only put money in when I’m going to make a transaction. A merchant or vendor gets to tag me ONCE for 2FA, which I then opt out of. If they do it again, I cease doing business with them, and post a very public explanation as to why. My credit card number (plus expiry, plus CVV) is my transaction security and my cellphone number (or E-Mail addy) is a valuable asset, to which they are not generally entitled.

    WE ARE THE MASTERS; THEY ARE THE SERVANTS!

    Businesses don’t stay viable unless they’re doing business. Don’t surrender your rights, and pull their plug if they try to take them from you.
