We will be getting a lot of work done here this weekend: With most of America distracted by competing delusions.
First is the hysteria over Elon Musk, who is trying to get a handle on “Where’s all the money been going?” The left (and slow-motion Marxist insurrection) is going absolutely crazy because the Deep State funding vehicle (USAID) has been breached.
Now, with Musk looking at other payoff and coup-funding avenues (Opinion: Worried about Elon Musk and ‘DOGE’ getting your Social Security number? Here’s how to protect yourself.) the problem is payments by government to those in this country illegally (as in not legally present) may percolate up.
The ability of the president to “make up an agency” will likely be at the heart of this, if I understand present trends in Coup II, the Sequel lawfaring, right. But it’s not like there isn’t something there – in Social Seecurity – smoldering. Has been since the middle of last year; IG Reports: Nearly $72 Billion Improperly Paid; Recommended Improvements Go Unimplemented | Office of the Inspector General.
Which begins drifting into the “conspiracy theorist’s” allegations that the Biden administration – and the Deep State’s operatives (GS-level employees who are not responsive to direction from appropriate leadership and have set up mini kingdoms within the FedGov) is likely based in fact. A question we put to AI only to learn that:
“In August 2024, the Social Security Administration’s (SSA) Office of the Inspector General (OIG) reported that from fiscal years 2015 through 2022, the SSA made nearly $72 billion in improper payments, primarily overpayments. This figure represents less than 1% of the total benefits paid during that period. As of the end of fiscal year 2023, the SSA had an uncollected overpayment balance of $23 billion. The OIG identified that many improper payments resulted from beneficiaries failing to self-report changes in their circumstances and from insufficient controls in SSA’s automated and manual processes.
OIG.SSA.GOV
As of February 2024, the SSA’s backlog of pending actions reached an all-time high of 5.2 million, leading to an additional $1.1 billion in improper payments. This backlog was attributed to unexpected staff reductions, increased workloads, and reduced overtime funding.
OIG.SSA.GOV
Given these challenges, it’s likely that improper payments have continued to accumulate since August 2024. However, without more recent data, it’s difficult to quantify the exact amount of additional waste that has occurred since then.
Regarding eligibility requirements, it’s important to distinguish between Social Security benefits and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Social Security benefits, including retirement and disability benefits, generally require individuals to have earned a certain number of work credits, which are accumulated through paying Social Security taxes during employment. For example, to qualify for retirement benefits, an individual typically needs 40 credits, equivalent to about 10 years of work.
SSA.GOV
In contrast, SSI is designed to assist individuals who are aged, blind, or disabled and have limited income and resources. Eligibility for SSI does not require a history of work or payment into the Social Security system. Instead, it is based on financial need.
SSA.GOV
Therefore, the provision of SSI benefits to individuals who have not worked enough quarters and paid into Social Security is consistent with the program’s design and objectives. This aspect of the SSI program is unlikely to contribute to improper payments, as eligibility is determined based on financial need rather than work history.
In summary, while the SSA has faced challenges with improper payments and backlogs, the structure of the SSI program—providing benefits to those without sufficient work history—is intentional and aligns with its mission to support vulnerable populations.”
While we continue to applaud the results of DOGE, and we expect Elon would not “waste his time” the Deep State is acting shocked and dismayed. Particularly because of revelations about who USAID monies were handled by. Including, on the DOGE website, spending your tax dollars on?
– $1.5 million to advance DEI in Serbia workplaces
– $70,000 for the production of a DEI musical in Ireland
– $47,000 for a trans opera in Colombia
– $32,000 for a trans comic book in Peru
– Etc
Clearly, the Biden administration (with cooperating Deep State insiders) were running an agenda of spending money on social causes that are not within acceptable expenditures of public monies. USAID Funneled Tax Dollars to WEF, Bill Gates, George Soros. Now toss in Ian Miles Cheong on X: “USAID gave more than $1.3 billion to terrorist organizations…
So then president Trump signed the E.O. on trans sports (Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports – The White House) which derailed that sex marketing boondoggle… And pretty quick we expect AG Pam Bondi to get the Lolita flight logs out and credible (no stonewalling) investigations into the Coup’s alleged child sex trafficking operations, participation in drug running anda whole lot more should come out.
Bottom Line: Save some of the popcorn from SuperBowl LIX. You’ll need it when the next big financial gasps come later this month.
Do the Math: Politico Pleads Innocent, Claims Tens Of Millions In Govt. Subscriptions Totally Normal. Musk is a numbers guy. (I lean that way, too.) Politico is free online. A print subscription is $200 per year. So, um, $27-million divided by $200-bucks is… 135,000 subscribers???!!!
We have to ask if Musk has Pam Bondi on speed-dial?
Shock at govt. spending on media is echoing: Pressing Matters.
The Sum of All Football
What Hitler’s Germany (along with Japan) and then the Russian Cold War failed to do (take down America) was nearly accomplished in our view recently. The international Marxists and their sympathizers in finance were forced – in part because of Joe McCarthy’s claims (though he was off-base, too – changed tactics. Slow-rolling Marxist control of higher education. Only applying “direct action” in the Kennedy assassination when a threat to the money used to pay for the slow-motion Coup’s activities was threatened.
Our concern is amplified by A.I. which summarizes:
“The theory that President John F. Kennedy’s assassination was linked to his alleged plans to diminish the Federal Reserve’s power is a topic of debate among conspiracy theorists. Some suggest that Executive Order 11110, signed by Kennedy in 1963, was intended to reduce the Federal Reserve’s influence by allowing the U.S. Treasury to issue silver certificates. However, this interpretation is contested, and many historians argue that the order aimed to phase out silver certificates in favor of Federal Reserve notes, thereby strengthening the Federal Reserve’s role.
The House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) concluded in 1979 that President Kennedy was “probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy” but did not identify specific individuals or groups involved.
The HSCA’s findings have been the subject of extensive analysis and debate.
While the idea that Kennedy’s actions regarding the Federal Reserve contributed to a conspiracy leading to his assassination persists in some circles, it remains speculative and is not supported by conclusive evidence.”
Anyone who has studied the Kennedy assassination (and ‘gover-up’) knows the Warren Commision was incomplete in its work. Although the FedGov has slowly been leaking this out, admitting that yes, it was a conspiracy, no one beyond Oswald and Ruby were eliminated.
Now, with DOGE “slamming the hands in the cookie jar” our concern is that the Deep State will attack the American homeland. While a direct attack on the SuperBowl is unlikely, we did ask AI:
“If renegade elements in government or international anti-American forces were to attack the U.S. this month, what would likely targets be, other than SuperBowl?
ChatGPT said:
If rogue elements within the government or international adversaries were to target the U.S. this month, likely targets—beyond the Super Bowl—would include:
- 1. High-Profile Public Events & Gatherings
State of the Union Address (Scheduled for March 7, 2025): A major political event where all key government officials gather.
Other Large Sporting Events: NBA, NHL, and NCAA games, especially high-attendance matchups.
Concerts & Music Festivals: Any major stadium concerts or events drawing large crowds. - 2. Critical Infrastructure
Power Grid & Energy Facilities: Attacks on substations or major power infrastructure could cause widespread outages.
Financial Centers: Stock exchanges (NYSE, Nasdaq), Federal Reserve buildings, or major banking headquarters.
Communications Networks: Cyber or physical attacks on internet backbone providers, satellites, or telecom data centers.
Transportation Hubs: Airports (JFK, LAX, O’Hare, DFW) or major railway hubs. - 3. Military & Government Facilities
Pentagon or Military Installations: Fort Bragg, NORAD, or naval bases.
Cyber Command & Intelligence Agencies: NSA, CIA headquarters.
State Capitols: Particularly those with ongoing controversial legislative issues. - 4. Economic Targets
West Coast Ports (LA, Long Beach, Seattle): Disrupting trade and supply chains.
Major Tech Headquarters (Silicon Valley, Austin, Seattle): Especially targeting AI, cloud computing, or semiconductor firms. - 5. Soft Targets
Shopping Malls & Retail Centers: Particularly those seeing increased traffic due to post-holiday sales.
Religious Institutions: Churches, synagogues, mosques, especially in areas with historical tensions.
Tourist Attractions: Times Square, Disney parks, major national monuments.
Cyber & Hybrid Attacks
Election Interference: With primaries underway, election systems could be targeted.
Banking System Disruptions: Attacks on payment processors (Visa, SWIFT).
Healthcare System: Ransomware targeting hospitals. - The likelihood of any specific target depends on geopolitical developments, intelligence warnings, and security measures in place. Would you like insights into defensive measures or contingency planning?”
No. That is in the hands of others. We are more concerned with plot lines from Hollywood. Because, remember, the movie is the message. (At least sometimes, if it hasn’t been on the Simpsons, yet.) The specific movie template – that we fear could be operative – is the Tom Clancy novel movie adaptation Sum of All Fears:
CIA analyst Jack Ryan is summoned by Director William Cabot to accompany him to Moscow to meet new Russian President Alexander Nemerov. There, Cabot and Ryan are allowed to examine a Russian nuclear weapons facility as prescribed by the START treaty, where Ryan notices the absence of three scientists listed on the facility’s roster. After receiving reliable intelligence from a confidential secure informant inside the Kremlin, codenamed “Spinnaker”, Cabot sends operative John Clark to Russia to investigate. Clark tracks the missing scientists to a former Soviet military facility in Ukraine, where Cabot suspects they are building a secret nuclear weapon that Russia could use without any method to trace it back to them; Russian and U.S. relations are strained due to Russia’s war in Chechnya.
Ryan and his colleagues discern that a crate from the facility in Ukraine was flown to the Canary Islands, then sent to Baltimore on a cargo ship. Ryan warns Cabot, who is attending a football game in the city with U.S. President Robert Fowler, about the bomb threat. Fowler is evacuated before the bomb detonates, but the stadium is destroyed and Cabot is mortally wounded.”
We have faith that all reasonable precautions will be taken and that J.D. Vance will not be at the game (since the series Designated Survivor is widely known). Not our wheelhouse, but IF we had scheduling input, we’d keep Vance out of Washington, NYC, Phoenix, and the Bay area this weekend. Think of it as The Sum of All Footballs.
So, How About Them Job Numbers
Cue the hype machine:
“Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 143,000 in January, and the unemployment rate edged down to 4.0 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Job gains occurred
in health care, retail trade, and social assistance. Employment declined in the mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction industry.”
But, in Reality, the database reported a HUGE INCRERASE IN JOBS.
Let’s do the math together on this, shall we? 163.895 million (this month) and 161.661 million last month…is that 2.3 MILLION MORE? Maybe even higher! Because the annual corrections hit this month in the CES birth-death model. It backed out 2.852 million previous made up during the Joeism. No employment collapse in sight, eh?
Market’s unsure about all this: markets were set to open mixed to down a bit. BTC was around $97,740, too, so the Everclear hasn’t been dumped in the punch – yet.
On Dice and Air Travel
I told you earlier this week to keep an “eye on the skies” because from my airline days, the haunting “Crashes come in three’s” is still operative.
We had the DC aircraft/chopper crash last weekend. Then the Pennsylvania med-jet crash. Now in the Philippines, four dead as US military surveillance plane crashes in Philippines. But, was it an accident? Chinese and Russian Militaries Detected Near US Allies.
And we’re getting word out of Alaska: Missing Bering Air plane: Major search launched after flight goes missing in Alaska. 10 dead there is feared.
Given the taxiway bump in Seattle counts as 4+. And it gives rise to the question “Is it really crashes come in three’s. Or, is it really some body-count number (or second derivative of that) that just hasn’t shown up because we haven’t put enough brain cells on it?` Hmm…
But the statistical pressure is there for “body count” (not a simple ‘crash count’) as another near-miss comes to light: KHOU 11 News Houston on X: “A Frontier Airlines flight from Denver to Houston turned chaotic Tuesday night when passengers had to restrain a disruptive man who cracked an interior window panel, according to witnesses on board.

At the Ranch: Dream Work in Woo
As a reader asked the other day why I haven’t been writing much about my sometimes predictive and always vivid dreams lately. I guess we could talk about that for a half-sec.
No, the dream intensity and frequency hasn’t changed. But, in dream realm adventures lately, I have been really busy working. There is a lot of change going on in other human/spiritual dimensions and – strangely – it has to do with technology. And how it’s going to work out “over there” in the long run.
This may explain why there are long waves in religious history, too, so listen up.
Back after the Tower of Babel was felled and people dispersed around the world, after a previous high civilization touched off “wars in heaven” – it turns out things were “pretty normal” for a couple of thousand years.
But we got to the knee of the curve with the Reformation and Enlightenment in Europe in the Middle Ages 6 CE to 16th CE,. What happened prior to this was a stable social order. People lived, died, went on to afterlife to consider lessons and so on.
However, as the rate of tech growth increased, and the people dying were carrying-over life experiences that dealt with technological tools, there has been a huge change in how things are proceeding “over there.””
For one, landscapes are changing. In dream/otherlife worlds now, for example, flying is common. Roads are paved. And even though these are materialized thought (there), it’s still a Big Change. See, Reductionism is contagious. 1,000 years ago, a person dying and going through a Life Review didn’t insist on explaining how an ICE worked. But now, with millions of mechanics having lived and died, there’s this “excess of tech” evolving in the afterlife. So, the afterlife changes.
And it’s here (working on everything like EVP transmitters, thought-powered connections to all physical systems) that real change of a fundamental nature in Realities (plural) are taking place. I think I’ve mentioned that it’s almost like humans are a kind of inter-dimensional (between condensate levels of spirit) tunneling devices.
And it’s here (OK, I mean there) that plane rides, roads, emotions, long walks along beaches at huge resort-like gathering places for family spirits all plays out.
Above all, though, I seem to transition into dreams and mainly bring back a kind of whole cloth view of what’s changing. Along with working on technology-based systems that I don’t quite understand over there, but which make sense over there.
So no. No particular woo-woo. Still just living my two lives – with the Elaine and me over there in dream states and over here in Waking states. Oh, and now getting the occasional glimpses of one-another over there. But that’s the work plan.
Who says you can’t take it with you if you share at the heart level and work the Plan?
Write when you get rich,
George@Ure.net
“…with the Elaine and me over there in dream states and over here in Waking states.”
Now turn that into a Valentine’s card!
It’s 4am. I’ve been up for an hour after my throat exploded in a dry cough at 3am and I’ve been hacking out a tiny spot of mucosal asphalt. The itch just won’t go away. It comes back when I lie down, so I guess I won’t be getting any sleep soon. Staying upright and my brain is on fire.
Hearing of this cough that is going around on the mainland has be believing there is likely a real shortage of medicine to treat it… specifically codeine cough mixtures. They have been backordered for more than 30 days at the largest drugstore chain (CVS) in the islands, with no ETA for delivery. This may sound like a minor health concern, until one discovers the ripple effects. I have been in the preparatory pipeline for hip surgery for three months. It was supposed to happen on Monday. Yesterday my surgery was cancelled. The surgeon is busy, and booked usually about 3 months in advance. I’ve been thru all that prep stuff. The surgical coordinator at the Medical Center will get back to me as to when they can reschedule me. I’m expecting several months down the road. I’m disappointed and pissed! All due to a lack of simple meds like prescription codeine cough syrup.
I have no financial involvement with this company, but they have advertised that prescription meds shortages are coming, and getting worse.
https://www.twc.health/
They prescribe and sell medical emergency kits, and I bought one several months back as a good preparatory item. Too bad it doesn’t include something as simple as codeine cough mixture.
Years ago when I had this condition the Doc prescribed an opiate cough mixture that worked, and turned off the ‘cough center’ in the brain. It’s no longer available due to the opiate hysteria. The over-the-counter Dextromethorphan I did get is about worthless. I swear it makes me cough more. I’m hoping the 5-day course of Prednisone pills will eventually quell the allergic itch enough to get the cough under control. Times are getting worse, and we’re on our own for self-help. Grandma’s ‘Honey & Whiskey’ is sounding better all the time… but not with he Prednisone. So here I am, tired as hell, sitting upright at the computer and venting. Sorry y’all.
Try Elderberry syrup.
or slug down some of uncle George’s Highland Cure (on ice or with water). At least you won’t give a shit.
Ask D’Lynn if there is a Kentucky Cure he would recommend, too
DANGER! POSSIBLE VERY BAD ADVICE
I AM NOT A DOCTOR.
In lieu of “Cheracol” or equal:
GrandMa’s “Honey & Lemon” plus some Makers’ Mark. (Not too much)
5,000 units of Vitamin C — some say that;s too much; some say it’s not enough. I do 10,000 when sick
Zinc, a good multi Vitamin, 5,000 to 10,000 of Vit D3. CoEnzyme Q-10.
Plenty of good water O.J. good, too.
Good air & sunlight. Eat light, but eat good stuff.
Patience.
DAMGER! Could be bad advice,
Keep us posted.

I’d send you a box from Amazon but you’d get it faster..if you have any Chinese medicine shops and acupuncturist there they have it in their herbal medicine..before I found it on Amazon I got mine at the acupuncturist..
my mom Used a cough syrup with cbd in it for years then they had to get rid of it..
Here’s what chat gpt has to say..
(“Ingredients:
1 tablespoon dried red ginseng slices (or red ginseng powder)
1 cup hot water

Im right there with you Hank , sorry.
Ive had a helluva time finding the right head/body angle to lie down at to get sleep.
I have one chair in my house that works for a couple of hours.
Ive bombed myself on every spray and pill I can find. Some relief.
Mine lasted for months. Somehow Im over it now ( for the time being )
Best regards

Feverfew helps with circulation, plus zinc for the immune system, green or chamomile tea with honey and fresh squeezed lemon, vitamin C, Kim chi if one can take the spice.

Hope you feel better soon, the cough sticks around for a while from what I’ve seen.

“Grandma’s ‘Honey & Whiskey’ is sounding better all the time…” and Grandpas’s ‘Whiskey & Whiskey’ is even better….
And..if you drink enough you no longer care that you have a cough or not..lol.. I knew a guy that swore by hot toddies
Hot toddy: Hot tea, 1 generous shot of crown, squeeze of lemon, and a good tablespoon of honey. Repeat as needed.
DELICIOUS.
Edgar Cayce suggests that people eat food and honey from the area that they live in to help build immunity.
Get thee some local honey with comb. Honey has been proven to be just as effective as cough syrup (in children) to treat coughs.
P.S.
IF a post nasal drip is hitting the back of the throat, use mouthwash. Gargle. Wipe off excess from the tongue. Do not rinse your mouth out afterwards. For some reason, that mouthwash will cut the cough for a while.
Of course, if you drink anything, it washes out the effect, have to do it again.
Sounds like the traditional Irish cold remedy.
Requirements:
1 bed
1 glass
1 bottle of whiskey
Implementation:
1. Put the glass and bottle in a place convenient to your bed.
2. Climb into bed.
3. Enjoy a glass of whiskey.
4. By the time the glass is empty, either you will feel better… or you just won’t care.

Oregano is a great antibiotic. Better than Azithromycin. Chew up and swallow a tablespoon full a few times a day … make a tincture of 1/4 cup oregano and cover above top with olive oil, in a glass jar. Let it sit for a few days. Then strain it. Save the liquid and do a tablespoon of it 3-4 times a day.
Get some of this at your local pharmacy …

Those suffering from common or severe colds should take 1 tbsp lukewarm honey with 1/4 tsp cinnamon powder daily for 3 days. This will cure the most chronic cough and cold and clear the sinuses.
I assume you’re talking about Codimal PH?
The only place I’m seeing it in the Islands is “UH Health Services.” Does the University have an “open to the public” pharmacy…?
A “quick & dirty” turned this up:
https://export.indiamart.com/products/?id=2853269342562
It is not the same. This is “Codeine Phosphate 10mg” “Triprolidie Hcl 1.25mg” where
Codimal PH is: codeine phosphate 2 MG/ML + phenylephrine hydrochloride 1 MG/ML + pyrilamine maleate 1.67 MG/ML
Codimal PH is “no longer marketed” but it is still produced, and is on the BC/BS current covered medlist.
It is very likely you can find a generic for Codimal PH on Indiamart and your prescription will directly, instantaneously apply. You may have to pay a floody fortune to have it overnighted or “two-dayed” to you though.
BTW, 195 Rupees currently equals $2.22…
I’d call UH first…
Good luck, hank.
Oil of oregano … three bags of echinacea tea darken… tablespoon of honey two drops of zinc and 1 teaspoon of powdered C mix it all together and one cup of tea, drink it down and all your worries will go away
Well I just had my hip replaced due to a last minute cancellation and now being pain free I really feel bad about your cancelled surgery. Due to the opiate hysteria there were no adequate painkillers for my hip pain prior to surgery. The only painkiller that worked was alcohol (vodka, wine, gin, etc). Not the best but at least it made it so I could walk. I got nothing for your cough except maybe a concoction of cough syrup with alcohol and aspirin and a couple of Benadryl. Might at least help you sleep.
Get well soon sir.
Another one honey and garlic..
Chat gpt says how to prepare it.. And use it.. I would say on small jar of crushed garlic and one medium jar of natural honey…we keep garlic around here..seen an article that said to trick garlic into thinking it was planted in the fall to put the garlic clove in potting soil then place on the bottom shelf in the fridge for a few weeks before planting in the spring..
I buy peeled garlic in the store and we always have crushed garlic..
Peel and Crush the Garlic: Peel the garlic cloves and crush them slightly to release the beneficial compounds.
Combine with Honey: Place the crushed garlic cloves in the glass jar and pour the raw honey over them, ensuring the garlic is fully submerged.
Stir and Seal: Stir the mixture well to combine the garlic and honey, then seal the jar with the lid.
Let it Infuse: Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for at least 24 hours to let the beneficial properties of the garlic infuse into the honey.
Store and Use: After 24 hours, the garlic-honey mixture is ready to use. Store it in a cool, dark place.
Usage:
For Immediate Relief: Take a teaspoon of the garlic-honey mixture as needed to soothe your throat and alleviate cough symptoms.
Daily Maintenance: Take a teaspoon daily to help boost your immune system and prevent coughs.

What to do wit this information ? Nothing I aint already doing – taking profits and stashing cash/keeping the powder dry so to speak. Besides the spirit world is talking shit, I aint playing along – miserable assholes been shitting on Humanity for sooo long, most of Us cant even recognize We are Zombified, real honest to goodness Zombies, not flesh eating types, Spiritually/NRGetically.
Yes Ure Chakras used to spin, and should be spinning now, but alas most are Dormant. Raising the question, Well mr smartazz how do you turn em on – how do you initiate them? how to start spinning…says here you need outside intervention from a Master.
* Yeah I know good luck finding a Master.
** In my practice (IYXQA)it is accepted fact that Masters find You, as they are always looking..ALWAYS. It is Teachers that get you leveled up, and anyone and anything can be a Teacher.
I have to agree – especially the good song and truth regarding the Master/Teacher. Very odd wording though.

Look into Kriya Yoga. They have satellites all over the USA. They have an initiation rite, and they gradually gently move the neophytes through their practice.

Kriya Yoga
Mahavatar Babaji
Founder Mahavatar Babaji transmitted to Lahiri Mahasaya
Established 1861[1]
Kriya Yoga (Sanskrit: ?????? ???) is a yoga system which consists of a number of levels of pranayama, mantra, and mudra, intended to rapidly accelerate spiritual development[2] and engender a profound state of tranquility and God-communion.[3] It is described by its practitioners as an ancient yoga system revived in modern times by Lahiri Mahasaya, who claimed to be initiated by a guru, Mahavatar Babaji, circa 1861 in the Himalayas. Kriya Yoga was brought to international awareness by Paramahansa Yogananda’s book Autobiography of a Yogi and through Yogananda’s introductions of the practice to the West from 1920.

“USAID did not give millions of taxpayer dollars to Politico. The spending came from agencies across the federal government for subscriptions to Politico Pro, according to USA Spending, the database that tracks government grants and contracts.
Politico Pro is Politico’s news subscription service aimed primarily at businesses. It provides news, analysis and legislative tools for researchers, policymakers and lobbyists, and subscriptions can cost thousands of dollars. In an email newsletter Feb. 6, Politico CEO Goli Sheikholeslami and Editor-in-Chief John Harris explained that some government officials use Politico Pro, but they rebutted claims Politico received government subsidies or grants.
“Government agencies that subscribe do so through standard public procurement processes — just like any other tool they buy to work smarter and be more efficient,” Sheikholeslami and Harris said. “This is not funding. It is a transaction — just as the government buys research, equipment, software, and industry reports.”

In 2020, the U.S. government bought $2.1 billion in food aid from American farmers.’

Recent discussions have highlighted the U.S. Agency for International Development’s (USAID) financial interactions with media outlets, primarily through standard subscription purchases rather than direct funding. For instance, in fiscal year 2024, USAID spent approximately $24,000 on subscriptions to Politico Pro, a specialized policy news service. Collectively, various federal agencies, including USAID, contributed to a total of $8.1 million in subscriptions to Politico during the same period.
WSJ.COM
It’s important to note that these expenditures are for access to specialized information services and do not constitute direct funding or grants to the media organizations. Major news outlets such as Politico and the Associated Press have clarified that they have not received direct funding from USAID.
REUTERS.COM
While USAID does support media development globally, its funding is primarily directed toward international initiatives aimed at strengthening independent media in developing countries. In 2023, USAID funded 6,200 journalists and supported 707 non-state media outlets in over 30 countries.
AA.COM.TR
Domestically, USAID’s financial interactions with U.S. media are limited to standard subscription purchases, and there is no evidence of direct funding to U.S. media outlets.

“Fake news blacklist
In 2019, Poynter used various “fake news” databases (including those curated by the Annenberg Public Policy Center, Merrimack College, PolitiFact, and Snopes) to compile a list of over 515 news websites that it labeled “unreliable.” Poynter called on advertisers to “blacklist” the sites on the list. The list included conservative news websites such as the Washington Examiner, The Washington Free Beacon, and The Daily Signal.
After a backlash, Poynter retracted the list, citing “weaknesses in the methodology.” Poynter issued a statement, saying: “We regret that we failed to ensure that the data was rigorous before publication, and apologize for the confusion and agitation caused by its publication.”

re: the sum of all immigrants
Folks,
Can you help President Trump with his problem? Following unsubstantiated reports from Washington about illegal immigrants streaming in from Canada, the RCMP issued helpful press release on Wednesday and Thursday. RCMP members intercepted multiple illegal incursions into Canada from the American side. Tragically, one even had a gun! I think it’s absolutely fantastic that Canadians can buckle down and fix a neighbor’s problem. Here are the RCMP press releases:
https://rcmp.ca/en/news/2025/02/rcmp-responds-border-incursion-coutts-port-entry
https://rcmp.ca/en/manitoba/news/2025/02/rcmp-uses-thermal-imaging-arrest-illegal-migrants-entering-manitoba
So, they seem to be illegals who were also illegally in the U.S. I wonder if they were migrating, running from Trump, or going north to pick up a load of fentynal…?
Glad the RCMP was allowed to do their job.
Hank,
A.I. response to the whiskey & honey cough remedy –
Yes, whiskey and honey can be an effective cough remedy! This traditional remedy has been used for generations and has some scientific backing:
Whiskey: Acts as a natural cough suppressant and helps numb the throat.
Honey: Known for its superior cough-suppressing properties, often outperforming over-the-counter cough medicines.
Combining these two ingredients can provide quick relief for a sore throat and persistent cough.
Would you like a recipe for making your own whiskey and honey cough syrup?
Me: “yes”
Here’s a simple recipe for a whiskey and honey cough syrup:
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon of whiskey
1 tablespoon of honey
1 tablespoon of lemon juice (optional)
Warm water (optional)
Instructions:
Mix the whiskey and honey together in a small bowl.
If you like, add the lemon juice for added flavor and vitamin C.
You can take this mixture directly by the spoonful, or dilute it with a little warm water to make it easier to swallow.
Dosage:
Take 1 teaspoon every few hours as needed for cough relief.
Remember to use this remedy in moderation and avoid giving it to children.
Feel better soon!
* * *
Note: A friend of mine uses chamomile tea as a substitute for the water. [ using this recipe she would use two table spoons – not too much, as you will dilute the honey too far. ] Add a quarter teaspoon of cinnamon and ups her Vitamin C and D . Says it works every time. I have never had to use a cough remedy, so no first hand knowledge. Personally – I would sub bourbon for the whiskey – ‘slightly’ smoother.
“competing delusions”
What else do we have? Fix’in since ’76. 1776.
Every year, the United States welcomes nearly 1 million new citizens through naturalization ceremonies, all of whom must pass the U.S. citizenship test by answering 6 out of 10 questions correctly.
While 90% of legal immigrant applicants pass the exam, only 36% of U.S. adults and just 3% of public high school students in America can pass it!
For fun., I took the test and got all ten questions right. [ Pretty easy test] I am now a certified citizen. Right?
Thank you all for your suggestions. I’ve tried almost all. Many provide temporary relief, but that allergic irritation keeps coming back. I think growing my own Poppies is the best one! My Dad used to grow a few poppies in the garden. He experimented with poppy seeds for bread (spice) that are supposed to be killed, but he found a few that sprouted. He kept his patch to 5 or six plants, and apparently if the pods are not scarified it is legal to have them. What one does with them afterward is private. But I am a native american religious health self-practicioner “medicine man”. I am now trying ‘Kratom’… available from some vape shops here. The FDA says it is NOT a drug, and is NOT a food additive. That’s all. Some countries and some states have made it illegal, however. The herb attaches to the opiate receptors in the body, and some folks get a mild high from it. Worth a try to quell the cough centers of the brain. I’m off the prednisone in one more day, so I can get more aggressive with other things then. Again, thanks to all.
A little dance on the T.I. Scientific and – Big Tech is set to invest over $ 325 billion into A.I. .., and small tech and start-ups are another $68 billion. [ This year.] The total amount, or even a preliminary amount to build the power stations to run all of this has not been calculated. Nor the cost to build and staff the data centers.
This has to be the biggest and most expensive build-out of an idea, tech or otherwise, of any product ever in our history. And it is all based., anchored in.., computers.
Once quantum computers become viable., buy-able product, the face of computers will change forever. [ 3 to 5 years by most accounts. ] And so will society, and probably the world.
It is quite possible that we, right now, are witnessing the beginning of a whole new era. For better, or worse – it is coming.

For WOO WOO disaster dreams … throw a Santorini Re-Eruption into the mix.
Reportedly when it blew up in about 1600 BC it was the largest volcanic eruption of the last 10,000 years and created a tsunami in the Eastern Med that was 150 meters (480+ feet) high. It basically wiped out the Minoan Civilization, which was centered on the island we now call Crete, which is about 200 km away.
The Greek government is trying to say the 7000+ earthquakes in about 72 hours, including many 4. + eqs, are merely fault zone earthquakes from the many faults to the NE of the island … but of course they want to protect the tourist trade of Santorini which is HUGE. imo … Do NOT believe them!!, they are like governments anywhere when it comes to their tax revenues, they want them to continue!

TRANSLATION: Nostradamus Epistle: Paragraph 48:3
The world will then approach a conflagration. Although according to my calculations, the world will not end with nuclear war. The course of time will go much further.
Before the October 7th, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, some websites and readers believed that nuclear weapons would be used in Ukraine. I believe George Ure over at UrbanSurvival.com has gotten it right. Nobody wants to be the first to pop off a nuke.
That is why the use of the first two nuclear weapons will be by unknown terrorists. “And of such deeds one will not see the issue [Cause/Terrorism].”
I have called these two Nostradamus predictions The First and Second Blows of Steel. I have long expected that these will be two nuclear terrorist events. The first in a Palestinian territory, the second will be in Italy.

Oil of Oregeno is a miracle product. I have used for years and while I can’t speak to the cough that Hank and some have described, here is what it has done for me many times. Start to get a sore throat. 2 or 3 drops under tongue. Hold while saliva dilutes it, swish it around. Swallow. Sore throat gone. I have also missed illnesses like noro virus several times while all my friends and family suffered. Stomach gets wheezy like something is coming. 7 drops in 2 ounces water , mix, drink slowly while swishing in mouth. No sickness. This stuff tastes awful and gives a burning sensation. Be careful. Good news is the bad bacteria and viruses seem to hate it. Better news is the good gut bacteria seem to like it.

re: Deep State 6/1 Dream Work
feat: ‘Magic’s’ “Showtime”
Folks,
Yesterday morning before ‘Urban had chance to hit the digital waves, President Trump launched a 32 minute address at The National Prayer Breakfast. Under shelter of a Magic Johnson co-owned Washington Hilton roof previously witness to The Doors and Jimi Hendrix, listeners were told “woke is gonzo”. It’s okay to say “Merry Christmas”. “God” was mentioned 21 times.
Uhoh. Houston, we have a problem. I see now there were two National Prayer Breakfast addresses made. My comments above pertain to the 32 minute address actually given at 0915 est at The Washington Hilton. This is the Breakfast begun under Ike in 1953 that carried on until 2022 organized by christians of the Fellowship Foundation. Here is a ‘Roll Call’ link to that address transcript (The link erroneously states “Capitol”?):
https://rollcall.com/factbase/trump/transcript/donald-trump-speech-national-prayer-breakfast-capitol-february-6-2025/
The White House website has a link to a 24 minute National Prayer Breakfast address given at 0815 est by President Trump at The Capitol. This Breakfast address commenced in 2023 and is organized by the National Prayer Breakfast Foundation. The transcript of the Capitol address does not include “woke is gonzo” or Merry Christmas”. God is mentioned 10 times. Here is the White House link to what would appear to be the official National Prayer Breakfast address of record. (Who controls the Capitol?)
