six minutes of reality in a great rant;

watch........... 

 

 The ballot box is the most
sadistic pacifier ever shoved
into the mouths of the peasantry.
They let you viciously fight
over which corporate puppet
gets to wear the crown, purely to
maintain the illusion that you are
not already chained to the floor
of a dungeon.
— George Carlin

 

 We are witnessing the
greatest act of cowardice
in human history.
Western countries are
willingly giving away their
land, women, and children
because the alternative is
being called "racist."

 somaili's have a democracy adventure in maine; 

 

The Department of Justice is investigating CCTV video from Lewiston City Hall that appears to show dozens of instances of NGO workers — operating as “interpreters” — coaching illiterate Somalis on how to vote and even filling out ballots for them.

The shocking footage was obtained by The Maine Wire under the Freedom of Access Act and shows left-wing NGOs running an industrial-scale ballot stuffing scheme, using non-English-speaking migrants to obtain ballots and then instructing them on how to vote a party line ticket for Democrats.

“We review all evidence concerning complaints of voter intimidation and election interference, including the video from Lewiston’s early voting at City Hall,” U.S. Attorney for Maine Andrew Benson told The Robinson Report.

“We will not tolerate threats to the integrity of our elections, and we look forward to working with the Attorney General’s Office and the Secretary of State’s office to defend our democracy,” said Benson.

When videos and images showing irregular behavior by the alleged Somali translators first went viral last week, Lewiston Mayor Carl Sheline quickly moved to block photojournalists from documenting the violations election officials would later disrupt multiple times..........more..........

 larry johnson has some concerns about the oil transporting machinery; 

 

Yesterday, at the opening of ADIPEC in Abu Dhabi, ADNOC’s CEO Sultan Al Jaber told the world that energy security now comes down to getting the oil to the customer, not just producing it. He wants storage, redundancy and diversified routes to market. He noted that shipping and logistics have climbed from less than 5 percent of the cost of a barrel to more than 30 percent. All true. But he skipped one small detail about routes to market. They require ships.

Karl Miller, who has been annoyingly right about the Gulf all year, supplied that detail in a November 1 assessment of the Persian Gulf tanker fleet. If Al Jaber’s speech was the diagnosis, Miller’s report is the X-ray. It shows why a barrel now costs a third of its value just to move.

The butcher’s bill, maritime edition

Miller counts 79 named tankers in the Gulf damage and casualty record. Thirty-five of them are VLCCs, the 2-million-barrel workhorses of the crude trade. That works out to 70 million barrels of carrying space caught up in the damage, for each loading. Together the 79 ships represent more than 14 million tonnes of rated deadweight. His assessment rates the physical damage and replacement burden as “catastrophic,” which is the sort of word that is hard to soften in a press release.

The worst cases make the point:............more............

 the hobbit no longer trusts his benefactors; 

 

In what will be remembered for a remarkable set of geopolitical statements that cover roughly four-minutes, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy decrees the administration of President Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio no longer represents a nation who believe in the advancement of global protection and the responsibility to protect smaller nations.

Whoever inside the Zelensky administration is writing these speeches, is purposefully antagonizing the United States and trying to create further division internally.  These are very strategically written works of snark from a very particular psychology.  I strongly urge everyone to listen to these remarks as they highlight the disturbing intent of a Machiavellian deceiver.  [Video and Transcript Below]

Zelenskyy, framing himself as the global judge of all things virtuous and victimized, notes the importance of the American mid-term election happening today, then uses that American context to cast aspersions toward statements made by President Trump, JD Vance (Berlin security conference ’25) and Marco Rubio (Acropolis in Athens). Zelenskyy then states vision behind the Statue of Liberty -which he cites- is no longer available as a guiding light of optimism to the world.......more...........

 russia is talking to ukraine. its a surprise to me. wonder if it goes anywhere; 

 

While Zelenskyy is in Berlin firming up support from Germany, France the U.K and EU allies around the concept of expanded conflict with Russia, while Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney shares his support from the sidelines of the Commonwealth in the Caribbean, the Kremlin has announced their representative for upcoming talks in Abu Dhabi.

In a slight change from previous discussions, President Vladimir Putin’s primary aide Vladimir ​Medinsky will serve ⁠as Moscow’s chief negotiator ​at the organized talks in Abu Dhabi Nov. 10-11.........more............
