“We’ll know that our disinformation campaign has worked when everything the American public believes is false.” — William Casey, Ronald Reagan’s CIA Director at his first staff meeting, 1981

a friend sent this in an email this am. i post it in its entirety as received by me and think it well worth duplicating by all of us in dealing with banks or other bureaucratic monstrosities;
I should be so lucky to make it to 96 and be so sharp.
A 96-year-old woman's note to her bank! Priceless! 
The following is an actual letter that was sent to a bank by a 96 year-old woman. The bank manager thought it amusing enough to have it published in the New York Times.
----------------------------
To whom it may concern,
I am writing to thank you for bouncing my check with which I endeavored to pay my plumber last month. By my calculations, three nanoseconds must have elapsed between his depositing the check and the arrival in my account of the funds needed to honor it. I refer, of course, to the automatic monthly transfer of funds from my modest savings account, an arrangement which, I admit, has been in place for only thirty-one years.
You are to be commended for seizing that brief window of opportunity, and also for debiting my account $30 by way of penalty for the inconvenience caused to your bank.
My thankfulness springs from the manner in which this incident has caused me to rethink my errant financial ways. I noticed that whereas I personally attend to your telephone calls and letters, when I try to contact you, I am confronted by the impersonal, overcharging, pre-recorded, faceless entity which your bank has recently become.
From now on, I, like you, choose only to deal with a flesh-and-blood person.
My mortgage and loan repayments will therefore and hereafter no longer be automatic, but will arrive at your bank, by check, addressed personally and confidentially to an employee at your bank whom you must nominate.
Be aware that it is an offense under the Postal Act for any other person to open such an envelope.
Please find attached an Application Contact Status form which I require your chosen employee to complete.
I am sorry it runs to eight pages, but in order that I know as much about him or her as your bank knows about me, there is no alternative.
Please note that all copies of his or her medical history must be countersigned by a Notary Public, and the mandatory details of his/her financial situation (income, debts, assets and liabilities) must be accompanied by documented proof. In due course,
I will issue your employee with a PIN number which he/she must quote in dealings with me. I regret that it cannot be shorter than 28 digits but, again, I have modeled it on the number of button presses required of me to access my account balance on your phone bank service. As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Please allow me to level the playing field even further. When you call me, you will now have a menu of options on my new voice mail system to choose from.
Please press the buttons as follows:
Press 1: To make an appointment to see me.
Press 2: To query a missing payment.
Press 3: To transfer the call to my living room in case I am there.
Press 4: To transfer the call to my bedroom in case I am sleeping.
Press 5: To transfer the call to my toilet in case I am attending to nature.
Press 6: To transfer the call to my mobile phone if I am not at home.
Press 7: To leave a message on my computer, a password to access my computer is required. Password will be communicated to you at a later date to the Authorized Contact.
Press 8: To return to the main menu and to listen to options 1 through 7.
To make a general complaint or inquiry. The contact will then be put on hold, pending the attention of my automated answering service. While this may, on occasion, involve a lengthy wait, uplifting music will play for the duration of the call.
Regrettably, but again following your example, I must also levy an establishment fee of $50 to cover the setting up of this new arrangement. Please credit my account after each occasion.
May I wish you a happy, if ever so slightly less prosperous, New Year.
Your Humble Client...
(Remember: This was written by a 96 year old woman!)
if the soros mayor of chicago succeeds in instituting this tax it will be funny and sad at the same time you know like turnabout is fair play and all;
The city's financial giants, traditionally known as the fulcrum of the global derivatives market, have been greasing the gears of global trade for decades in what's now a $75 billion industry. Now, they find themselves in the crosshairs of an $800 million tax proposal from Mayor Brandon Johnson. The plan? levy every financial transaction. The response? Chicago's financial elite are rattled - particularly as crime rates surge.
Now, a quiet mobilization is underway. These giants of trade, who typically spend their days outfoxing each other in the markets, are now colluding to push back against what they see as punitive policies. This new front sees them sharing data to amplify their value proposition, making it crystal clear to policymakers the vast economic benefits they bring to Chicago.
"We don’t want to leave... But we cannot be disadvantaged in the world's most competitive markets," said Ed Tilly, the CEO of Cboe Global Markets......more.......
gruesome newsom is becoming the democrats poster boy and may well take the place of the biden thing next november if there is even an election'
It seems that we continue to struggle with a chief executive who goes on social media to personally attack judges who have ruled against his laws or policies. No, it is not Donald Trump. This week, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) went on Twitter/X to denounce U.S. Judge Roger T. Benitez as “an extremist, right-wing zealot with no regard to [sic] human life.”
Four years ago, I wrote how Democrats were becoming more Trump-like in their attacks on judges and hyperbolic rhetoric. There is no better example than Gavin Newsom.
Many of us criticized Trump for his attacks on judges, including Judge Gonzalo Curiel over his hispanic heritage.
Trump would often savage judges for being Democrats or liberals when there were good-faith legal disagreements over his policies.
Newsom seems increasingly to be morphing into the man that he once denounced for such “toxic” rhetoric.
Benitez earned the ire of Newsom by ruling yesterday that California’s limit on high-capacity magazines violates the Second Amendment. He previously ruled against the ban in a partial stay in 2019.
There are good-faith arguments that these bans contradict Supreme Court cases on the scope and meaning of the Second Amendment. It is certainly an open question but gun-rights advocates are challenging these laws as without constitutional or historical foundation. In New York State Rifle &Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen, 142 S.Ct. 2111 (2022), the Supreme Court held that
[W]hen the Second Amendment’s plain text covers an individual’s conduct, the Constitution presumptively protects that conduct. To justify its regulation, . . . the government must demonstrate that the regulation is consistent with this Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation. Only if a firearm regulation is consistent with this Nation’s historical tradition may a court conclude that the individual’s conduct falls outside the Second Amendment’s ‘unqualified command.’.......more.........
fred never fails to educate and entertain;
In the media there is much noise about “white extremists,” a group said to be a threat to our (largely imaginary) democracy. There indeed exists an ill-defined collection of racial advocates covering a spectrum from militias in the woods of Idaho to groups calling themselves the Dissident Right, Alt Right, Race Realists (they are not), and White Nationalists (hereinafter WhyNats, not too accurately to indicate all collectively).
As things stand now, they are hardly a threat to anything. The militias are too few to amount to much and the rest a cross between a hobby and a social club. Their websites, such as Vdare.com have substantial circulation but advocate neither crime nor violence. Their intellectual leaders, highly intelligent and of academic respectability, are much given to conservative romanticism, dreaming of an impossible “white imperium.” Dangerous, these latter, I think are not.
The appeal of White Nationalism is clear. It is a reaction against horrific rates of crime by blacks, cities made into no-go zones, unnecessary immigration from the south, imposed social engineering, degradation of standards, destruction of a valued culture, and the racial discrimination embodied in “affirmative action.”
WhyNats point out, correctly enough, that an all-white country would not have had slavery, perhaps the Civil War, Jim Crow, race riots, burning cities, rates of crime a wonder of the world, degraded education, and so on. The elders of the movement remember a white world in which children could play blocks-wide hide-and-seek after dark in safety, leave their bikes anywhere and find them on return. This world existed. I was there...........more.........
rfk jr as a third party candidate makes much sense and might succeed;
Even as President Joe Biden leads in the 2024 primaries, Democrat presidential contender Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has higher favorability and lower unfavorability numbers than either President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, (Trump 43%, Biden 41%, RFK, Jr. 14% unfavorability) according to a new poll by The Economist/YouGov.
Rasmussen reports that a survey also revealed that twenty-five percent (25%) of likely Democrat voters would vote for RFK Jr. in the 2023 primaries for President. Three percent (3%) of Democrats favor author Marianne Williamson in the primaries, while seven percent (7%) would vote for another candidate. The Rasmussen Report is based on a national survey of 998 U.S. likely voters conducted September 14 and 17-18, 2023.
Teddy Roosevelt ran for president in 1912 on the Progressive Party ticket, a third party, against incumbent Republican President William Howard Taft. Taft was elected president in 1908, the successor of Teddy Roosevelt, but was defeated for reelection in 1912 by Woodrow Wilson because Roosevelt’s third party split the Republican vote. The Republicans won in 1920 with a campaign positioned around opposition to Wilson’s policies with Warren G. Harding promising a “return to normalcy.” Sound familiar?.........more.........

caitlin with more evidence that the empire knew it was starting the war;
So while we members of the public were blindly speculating about whether or not Russia would attack Ukraine, the US intelligence cartel was fully aware that the US was taking actions ensuring that that would happen.
In an interesting speech about the way US imperial aggression provokes violence around the world, antiwar commentator Scott Horton made reference to an April 2022 article from Yahoo News that had previously escaped my attention.
The article is titled “In closer ties to Ukraine, U.S. officials long saw promise and peril,” and it features named and unnamed veterans of the US intelligence cartel saying that long before the February 2022 invasion they were fully aware that the US had “provoked” Russia in Ukraine and created a powderkeg situation that would likely lead to war.
“By last summer [meaning the summer of 2021], the baseline view of most U.S. intelligence community analysts was that Russia felt sufficiently provoked over Ukraine that some unknown trigger could set off an attack by Moscow,” a former CIA official told Yahoo News’ Zach Dorfman, who adds, “(The CIA and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence declined to comment.)”.........more.........
tucker explores truth and lies in our current reality including a short video;
Tucker Carlson recently gave a speech at an event for Brighter Michigan PAC.
He spoke about how the truth has been turned on its head and that our leaders lie to us all the time while accusing others of being liars.
He talked about how insane it is that some people are being sent to prison for the mere crime of saying the last election was rigged.

i remember a comedian years ago who was known to say; this another fine development you've gotten me into, or some such. here is one of those moments in the ukie war;
Russia has repeatedly stated that the United States and NATO are directly involved in the conflict in Ukraine, primarily by supplying weapons, but also by training personnel in Britain, Germany, Italy, and other countries.
Scouts of the Russian Armed Forces destroyed a Leopard tank transferred to Ukraine with an entirely German crew consisting of military personnel of the German Armed Forces, a commander of a reconnaissance group operating in the Zaporozhye direction told Sputnik.
"The mechanic of the tank was seriously wounded, and the rest were killed. [...] When he woke up and saw us, he began shouting 'nicht schießen' [no shooting]," the group commander said, adding: "He said several times that he was not a mercenary, but a soldier of the Bundeswehr."........more........
things are getting closer every day to the day we all fear, and have predicted;
Patrick O’Carroll: “I feel these TWO videos are horrendously important.
Most Jewish people are OBLIVIOUS to what kind of evil prevails at the very top of their religion. This religion is just NOT interested in converting any non-believers, just killing them. That makes Judaism fairly unique. Most US Christians are also unaware of the dangers lurking in FEMA camps (decapitation by guillotine). Hence, this information needs to get out there !!!”

pcr has some thoughts about putin and his war;
Putin’s Butt-sitting Leading to More Escalation
Paul Craig Roberts
Russian media now turning on the butt-sitter, demanding an end to his encouragement of endless provocations by his inaction.
The editor-in-chief of the Russian state TV channel RT, Rossiya Segodnya news agency and Sputnik news agency, Margarita Simonyan, believes that after today’s attack in Sevastopol, Russia should stop turning a blind eye to the direct involvement of the West in the military conflict, limited to usual warnings and cautions.
“It is time to deliver an ultimatum in its harshest form not only to Kiev, but also to its patrons in NATO.” she said.
Western intelligence and French missiles involved in the attack.
Biden sending long range ATACMS missiles and M1A1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine. Putin’s inability to act has opened up more of Russia for missile attack. Escalation is proceeding from Putin’s unwillingness to use sufficient force to end the conflict. Will Putin and Lavrov ever stop trying to fight a war with mere words?
Washington is creating new troubles for Russia in the former Central Asian provinces of the USSR. Putin’s inaction is producing a situation spiraling out of control.
More humiliations imposed on Russians as a result of Putin’s Butt-sitting:
“The unelected European Commission, committed to uphold “Western Values,” has issued a decree prohibiting Russians to bring personal items when they enter the EU. Although Europeans like the French, Germans, Italians, Poles and Hungarians, Russians can no longer come to an EU member state driving their own car, and they have to leave behind their laptops, mobile phones, shampoos and dozens of other necessary items. In what is essentially a demonstration of impotence, the political commissars of the EuSSR at Brussels have ordered the humiliation of any Russian who wants or needs to visit the EU.” https://www.unz.com/article/how-the-us-through-the-greens-and-the-reds-is-destroying-europe/

more from the biden gang in their efforts to align with the schwabbies in removing oil and gas from public consumption, as he's also stopped drilling leases and other energy pursuits other than 'green' solutions;
The Biden administration has lost another green energy agenda battle after a federal judge blocked the president’s effort to restrict oil and gas drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.
Late Thursday evening, U.S. District Judge James Cain of the Western District of Louisiana issued a preliminary injunction after the administration’s last-minute attempt to halt an upcoming offshore oil and gas lease sale in the Gulf, Fox News Digital reported.
Cain granted the request “from plaintiffs — the State of Louisiana, industry association American Petroleum Institute (API) and oil companies Chevron and Shell — to block the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management’s (BOEM) restrictions on Lease Sale 261. The lease sale spanning millions of acres across the Gulf of Mexico is slated for next week,” the outlet added.
Cain determined that the federal government must conduct the lease sale by September 30 under its initial terms. Following a settlement reached in July with environmental organizations, BOEM excluded approximately six million acres from the sale and enforced several limitations on oil and gas vessels linked to the auctioned leases. The agency said the measures were implemented to safeguard the Rice’s whale species inhabiting certain areas of the Gulf of Mexico...........more..........
we were on the slow boat to police state but the biden creature and gang have sped it up considerably;
Nearly three-quarters of voters believe that America is “becoming” a police state under President Joe Biden, whose administration has invested heavily in investigations of Republican politicians and political challengers.
According to the latest Rasmussen Reports survey, 72% said that they are concerned that “America is becoming a police state.”
Rasmussen described that as “a tyrannical government that engages in mass surveillance, censorship, ideological indoctrination, and targeting of political opponents.”
Republicans pushed the survey of concerns high, with 76% expressing fears. But Democrats were close behind at 67%.........more.........

16 Reasons Why Gaddafi Was Killed
16 Reasons Why Gaddafi Was Killed

Kadafi promised not to buy a house for his parents until everyone in Libya owned a home.
All newlywed couples in Libya received 60,000 dinars from the government & because of that, they bought their own apartments & started their families.
Education & medical treatment in Libya are free. Before Gaddafi, there were only 25% of readers, 83% during his reign
If Libyans wanted to live on a farm, they received free household appliances, seeds, and livestock.
If they cannot receive treatment in Libya, the state would fund them $2300+ accommodation & travel for treatment abroad.
If you buy a car, the government finances 50% of the price.
The price of gasoline became $ 0.14 per liter.
Libya had no external debt, and reserves were $150 billion (now frozen worldwide)

the biden thing now admits that the open border is beyond intentional;
After years of playing word games about border security, Joe Biden bragged about his open borders policy in a speech Thursday night to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute 46th Annual Gala at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. Biden spoke as a new surge of migrants is pouring across the U.S. southern border.
Biden boasted about all the steps he has taken to increase legal immigration and work permits and then said, “I’ve Biden boasted about all the steps he has taken to increase legal immigration and work permits and then said, “I’ve also directed my team to make a historic increase in the number of refugees admitted from Latin America — (applause) — people fleeing violence and persecution who simply want their kids to have a better life.”

i think that this is a phenomenal number of guns to loose;
It’s entertaining when the Mexican government chirps up, complaining about weapons that flow across their northern border (frequently facilitated by US government agencies). Sure, the drug cartels that actually run our neighbor to the south find ways to move acquire firearms up here and move them south, but when your own military “loses” about one-third of their guns they’ve been entrusted with, the Mexican regime doesn’t have a lot of room to talk.
Which brings us to…Philadelphia. The City of Brotherly Love is doing its level best to become the next Chicago. They may not have elected (yet) a doctrinaire socialist who wants to further defund the police and open city-owned food stores, but give them time. They’ll probably get there.
The city’s feckless mayor and Soros-backed prosecutor who’s never seen a criminal he’s wanted to prosecute love to inveigh against the Founders’ original sin of protecting individual gun rights. The problem is never the rampant recidivism, the decarceration, the zero bail, or the flash mobs looting stores. As always…it’s the guns.
So when it’s revealed that Philly Sheriff Rochelle Bilal had “lost” 101 guns, it’s hard to take anyone in city government seriously. The Sheriff said she’d found most of them, but that was apparently just the usual bureaucratic ass-covering.
From nbcphiladelphia.org . . .
According to the City Controller’s Office, the Sheriff’s Office stated during the 2024 budget hearing with City Council that all but 20 of their original 101 missing service weapons had been found. The Controller’s Office said they weren’t provided the necessary documentation to support those claims when they did a follow-up investigation, however.
The missing weapons include 71 handguns, four semi-automatic handguns and one shotgun, according to the Controller’s Office.
The Controller’s Office said another review in August 2021 accounted for 16 of the original missing guns. The Sheriff’s Office provided sufficient proof for nine weapons as part of their most recent review, leaving 76 still missing, according to the Controller’s Office.
What are the odds that some of these mysteriously missing firearms somehow found their way into the hands of local gang members and other assorted miscreants?
Philly has had north of 1000 shootings so far in 2023. But the people who continually blame the city’s problems on law-abiding gun owners and try to further restrict their rights are the very same people who can’t account for dozens of duty guns they’ve been entrusted with. It’s all probably just an accounting problem. They’re sure to turn up any day now..........https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/how-did-philadelphia-sheriff-rochelle-bilal-lose-at-least-76-service-weapons/
it would appear that the mexicans are about as fed up with the biden thing as we are;
You know things are bad when the Mexican government says they are overwhelmed at their southern border with 10,000 global migrants arriving daily en route to the United States southern border.
The Mexicans are looking for Joe Biden to try and stem the flow; while the White House says, ‘Listen Fats, nothing to see here‘…
Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has requested a bilateral meeting with his US counterpart to discuss the migration crisis that has “overwhelmed” his country, his foreign minister said Friday.
The meeting would occur in Washington when Lopez Obrador attends a summit of Latin American leaders, to be convened by US President Joe Biden on November 3.
Lopez Obrador wants to discuss “legal paths” to address the humanitarian situation facing hundreds of thousands of people who have recently attempted to make their way to the United States and to study the ways in which they can request asylum, as well as work visas for the agricultural sector.
Mexico is being “overwhelmed” by the arrival of migrants to its territory, Mexican Foreign Minister Alicia Barcena said at a press conference during the UN General Assembly in New York.
Around 9,000 arrive at the country’s southern border every day, around 3,000 of whom have traversed the Darien Gap, a dense jungle on the border between Colombia and Panama.
Another 8,000 arrive at the northern border with the United States every day. “Yesterday 11,000 arrived,” Barcena said. “This exceeds any capacity, no matter how much Mexico wants to do a good job.”
This year Mexico expects to process 140,000 asylum applications.........more........
