fifty nine minutes with redacted and a former cia covering the subject: who really runs the empire';
i began this blogspot to save sending emails to all i suspected might need or want to review. avoid being a spammer. so consider these emails i thought you might find interest in. if you like what you see, pass it on. If the power elites didn’t need the consent of the public to rule, they wouldn’t have to lie constantly about their reasons for their wars on everyone. as gore vidal said: i'm not a conspiracy theorist, i'm a conspiracy observer.

stephen miller is always clear and direct;
REMIGRATION: Stephen Miller, ‘There are 15 million illegal aliens. If each were given a full trial, deportations would take centuries. They had no due process entering the country, and they are not entitled to it when being removed.’
HOLY CRAP! Stephen Miller just went BERSERK on 60 Minutes for trying to defend vicious illegals we sent to El Salvador's CECOT "We are NOT gonna let little girls get r*ped and m*rdered! Every one of those 60 Minutes producers engaged in this revolt? FIRE THEM! CLEAN HOUSE.......more..........
more on the somali foolishness featuring the minnesota governor in the game;
A viral investigation into alleged misuse of Minnesota state funds has ignited a fierce public feud between Governor Tim Walz and independent journalist Nick Shirley, culminating in a heated exchange of accusations over the weekend.
Shirley’s 42-minute video report, which garnered over 100 million views on X, purportedly showed multiple state-funded daycare centers — receiving millions in taxpayer dollars — appearing closed or inactive during business hours.
In the wake of the report’s release, Governor Walz faced intense backlash after appearing to dismiss the findings on X, writing, “This is what happens when they scapegoat and this is what happens when they no longer hide the idea of white supremacy.”
Critics immediately seized on the Governor’s comment, accusing him of using racially charged language to deflect from legitimate questions regarding the stewardship of public funds.
On Sunday, Shirley appeared on Fox News to directly address the Governor’s characterization, rejecting the “white supremacist” label as a political tactic used to silence dissent.
“If you have 100,000 people that will vote for you because you’re going to enable this stuff… and you’re going to call a white person racist for calling out facts, this is what’s going to happen,” Shirley told the host.............more.........
the federalies are late to most of the shows they end up in;
After days of mounting outrage from conservatives and independent journalists, Pam Bondi issued what many are calling a damage-control statement in response to growing accusations that the DOJ allegedly sat on one of the largest fraud scandals in modern U.S. history, the billion-dollar Minnesota Somali fraud network that looted taxpayer-funded welfare, daycare, COVID, and Medicaid programs.
The statement came only after independent investigative reporter Nick Shirley exposed the staggering scope of the corruption, centered largely in Minnesota’s Somali nonprofit ecosystem, and after conservatives erupted over the apparent lack of urgency from federal authorities while hundreds of millions vanished.
In her statement, Bondi acknowledged the work of independent journalists and attempted to assure Americans that the United States Department of Justice has been quietly investigating the fraud for months.
According to Bondi:
- 98 individuals have been charged
- 85 are of Somali descent
- More than 60 have already been convicted
She warned lawmakers that “more prosecutions are coming,” adding, “Buckle up.”
Bondi praised U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen and local Minnesota media for assisting in building cases...........more.......
more somali items here;
Calling “Sweet Angel Child Care” in Minnesota immediately connects you to Tim Walz’s office. Is there direct coordination between these fraudulent centers and Walz? This needs a full investigation.
This Somali Daycare fraud thing isn’t just a Minnesota issue.
I am seeing people report it is rampant in Washington state and several others.
The last estimate of what it has cost in Medicare fraud in Minnesota that I have seen is that it has surpassed 16 Billion dollars.
The fact that some dumb sonofabitch linked this phony daycare site’s phone number directly to The Retard’s official State Governer’s office is absolutely delicious..........more...........
it seems that caitlin is running the australian sector of 'the he-man israel haters club. i think i should apply for the empire version;
My name appears at the top of a list in a document the Israeli government released earlier this month in order to draw false associations between the Bondi Beach shooting and online criticism of Israel and its atrocities.
The PowerPoint document, released by Israel’s Ministry for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism, is titled “Delegitimization and Antisemitism in Australia — A Snapshot October — December 2025,” and its claims have been cited by Israeli media outlets like Ynet News.
Page five of the document is titled “Actors: Key generators of anti-Semitism and delegitimization in Australia,” where the name Caitlin Johnstone is listed at the top of a column titled “Active influencers and content creators” which is ranked by number of followers. Page seven describes me as an “Anti-Western blogger, promoting conspiracies and complete delegitimization of Israel.”
This word “delegitimization” appears throughout the document, which I personally find funny. They knew the “antisemitism” claim couldn’t stand on its own, so they had to tack on this weird extra complaint about people “delegitimizing” the state of Israel — as though that’s a bad thing. I’ll always deny harboring any hatred toward Jews or Judaism, but I’ll happily admit to trying to delegitimize a genocidal apartheid state that cannot exist without nonstop violence and abuse..............more........
the trump/bibi game still hasn't been nailed down as to which one is in charge;
The sense you get from reviewing the interactions is that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is nervous in his need to maintain very close support from U.S. President Donald Trump. When we review the interaction, we see Netanyahu’s praise of President Trump through a prism of tenuous dependency.
Netanyahu needs to retain a close and favorable position of influence; yet there is something in the engagement that seems to indicate an unease, a nervousness visible within the Prime Minister of Israel.
The moment at 10:48 is important, “Someone said in the room: if you don’t have Trump“… and the U.S. President strategically decided to let that thought trail off without finishing. However, in context it was very clear what would have come next if Trump didn’t restrain himself. “Someone said in the room: if you don’t have Trump”… you don’t have Netanyahu, was likely the end of that thought, and Trump isn’t wrong. Benjamin Netanyahu’s body language, facial expressions and overall demeanor imply agreement.
Bibi knows the unspoken words are accurate, so does everyone who supports Bibi – especially those pro-Israel voices inside the USA. Also, within that geopolitical dynamic, you will find President Trump’s leverage and an understanding of the behavior for those who support Netanyahu’s government............more..........
its only the russian imagination until mi 6 confirms the attack;
On the night of 28–29 December 2025, Russia’s Defense Ministry and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov claimed that Ukraine launched 91 long‑range drones at a presidential state residence in Novgorod region, northwest of Moscow. The Defense Ministry and Foreign Minister Lavrov describe the attack as occurring “on the night of December 28–29” and in the “early hours of December 29”, without specifying an exact clock time when the first UAVs appeared. A more detailed Russian‑language summary states that 18 drones aimed at the residence were intercepted before 07:00 Moscow time and another 23 between 07:00 and 09:00, which means that 50 drones had already been dispatched by the Russian air defense system. Russian officials said all 91 drones were shot down by air defenses, with no casualties or damage, and vowed unspecified retaliatory strikes; the attack was presented as a terrorist act that would affect Moscow’s stance in ongoing peace negotiations.
President Volodymyr Zelensky rejected the Novgorod claim as “typical Russian lies,” accusing Moscow of using a fabricated or exaggerated incident to justify new strikes on Ukrainian government targets and to harden its negotiating position. International coverage has so far treated the Novgorod episode cautiously, noting that it is difficult to independently verify either Russia’s claim of a massive attempted strike on Putin’s residence or Ukraine’s assertion that the story is manufactured..............more..........
so nick shirley beat the feds to the crime scene;
A viral video allegedly showing abandoned day cares in Minnesota drew the attention of the FBI and Vice President JD Vance, the latest in a wave of scrutiny on the state amid an ongoing fraud investigation targeting social services.
The video by online conservative influencer Nick Shirley shows him visiting multiple day care centers in Minnesota that appear to be abandoned despite being licensed to serve dozens of children and receiving public funds.
Since being posted on Dec. 26, Shirley’s 42-minute long video has racked up over 100 million views on X. Vance applauded the video, writing on social media, “This dude has done far more useful journalism than any of the winners of the 2024 @pulitzercenter prizes.”
On Dec. 28, FBI Director Kash Patel weighed in, saying the bureau is “aware of recent social media reports in Minnesota,” adding that the FBI has already “surged” investigative resources to the state to probe the alleged fraud.
“The FBI believes this is just the tip of a very large iceberg,” Patel said. “We will continue to follow the money and protect children, and this investigation very much remains ongoing.”
A spokesperson for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said in a statement to USA TODAY that the governor has taken many steps to address the problem, including hiring an outside firm to audit high-risk programs and supporting criminal prosecutions.

looks like starmer is having an orwell contest with himself;
Starmer’s government has set the most dangerous of precedents: it can now outlaw any political group it chooses as a terrorist organisation – and thereby make it impossible to defend it
The moment the British government began proscribing political movements as terrorist organisations, rather than just militant groups, it was inevitable that saying factual things, making truthful statements, would become a crime.
And lo behold, here we are.
The Terrorism Act 2000 has a series of provisions that make it difficult to voice or show any kind of support for an organisation proscribed under the legislation, whether it is writing an article or wearing a T-shirt.
Recent attention has focused on Section 13, which is being used to hound thousands of mostly elderly people who have held signs saying: “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action.” They now face a terrorism conviction and up to six months in jail.
But an amendment introduced in 2019 to Section 12 of the Act has been largely overlooked, even though it is even more repressive. It makes it a terrorism offence for a person to express “an opinion or belief that is supportive of a proscribed organisation” and in doing so be “reckless” about whether anyone else might be “encouraged to support” the organisation.
It is hard to believe this clause was not inserted specifically to target the watchdog professions: journalists, human rights groups and lawyers. They now face up to 14 years in jail for contravening this provision..........more............
i can't argue this point with pcr;
The Death of the Western World
Paul Craig Roberts
Opposition to current government policies is being criminalized in the UK and the EU. A recent example is the case of the retired Swiss military intelligence officer who has been sanctioned by the EU and is unable to access his assets and bank account in order to pay his bills and maintain his life. Gilbert Doctorow discusses these totalitarian policies that now characterize what is called the “European democracies.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkcraVlIJsg
The freezing and seizure of assets and persons without due process of law is destroying the security of property and free speech in the very countries that have economic, social and political systems based on these rights. I understand this to mean that the Western world no longer believes in the values that it professes. We are presented with the picture of the Western world that has lost its belief system, which makes it easy for the West to be transformed by corrupt politicians and immigrant invaders imposing their own values on western societies. We are experiencing now in our own time the death of the Western world..........https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2025/12/29/the-death-of-the-western-world/

here's what kunstler thinks, but i wonder what garrison keeler would say;
All winters are winters of discontent, but some winters are more discontented than others, and this one is like being stuck in a smoke-filled sod hut on the lonely prairie, with lice crawling under your hair-shirt, while a sleet-storm rages outside. . . . And it was only just Christmas days ago!
Immigrants, legal and otherwise, are the gifts that keep on giving. Minnesota is acting all indignant now over the discovery that its many thousands of Somali guests made a major industry of looting the government. What is it with Garrison Keillor’s upright descendants of the pioneers? I guess they’re not as “above average” as he used to tell us.
The fellow in charge, for instance, was one Tim Walz, recently a candidate for Veep, if you can believe it. He seemed oblivious to the scam-o-rama going on, though the “Little Mogadishu” neighborhood in Minneapolis is only a couple of miles from the governor’s mansion across the Mississippi River in St. Paul. You must wonder: does he know any of these people? Does he consort with their representative in Congress, Ms. Ilhan Omar who, just this year happened to come into a $30-million fortune. (Did Nancy Pelosi tutor Rep. Omar on stock-picking?).........more.........
mr peters has some thoughts to share about chevy;
This year, Chevy – General Motors – elected to produce a not-Woke commercial for Christmas. But it is an embarrassing commercial for GM, nonetheless – because it features a vehicle of the type that Chevy used to make but doesn’t anymore.
Well, it sort of does.
The featured vehicle is a Chevy Suburban. The 1980s version. The version that average American families could afford to buy back in the ’80s. Back in 1982, a brand-new Suburban stickered for about $10k – if you can imagine that.
According to the government’s BLS inflation calculator, that $10k works out to about $34k today. That amount of money will buy you about half a 2026 Suburban, which stickers for $63,400 to start.
How many average American families can afford that, today?...........more...........
two hundred dollar silver is his prediction;
Analyst and financial writer John Rubino has been warning of a currency crisis. On Friday, we saw a record high price spike for silver that produced a record high price for the white metal. Meanwhile, we saw record high prices for gold on the same day. This has never happened before, and that shows the currency crisis long predicted is here.
Rubino says, “Currencies are pouring into real money in anticipation of the existing fiat currencies dying. That is a whole different thing and on a much bigger scale because the numbers are grossly inflated after 70 years of a credit super cycle. So, what we have seen so far is really just the beginning. Gold and silver have had huge runs, but they are doing it when things are more or less still normal.............more........
a good idea in our times, frequently late in being imposed, unfortunately;
A viral photo of a notice posted at a McDonald’s in Uptown Minneapolis has renewed attention on rising crime in the area, Fox News pointed out this week.
The sign reads: "Attention guests, effective Friday, December 5th, our dining room doors will be locked and attended [to] during our normal business hours of 5am-10pm to ensure a safe environment."
It adds: "We will deny access to any individual who we consider a risk to maintaining a safe environment for our guests."
McDonald’s confirmed the notice. Local owner Mike Darula said the restaurant has "proudly been part of the Uptown community for more than 30 years" and explained, "At our Uptown restaurant, we’ve made some updates to our security measures to help ensure a safe and welcoming environment for both our crew and customers.".........more........
"The way people speak of those in power, calling their commands “laws,” referring to disobedience to them as a “crime,” and so on, implies the right of “government” to rule, and a corresponding obligation on the part of its subjects to obey. Without the right to “rule,” (“authority”) there is no need to call the entity “government,” and all the politicians and their mercenaries become utterly indistinguishable from a giant organized crime syndicate, their “laws” no more valid than the threats of muggers and carjackers." -- Larken Rose
import the third world, become the third world. offended by everything, ashamed of nothing, entitled to everything, contribute nothing. send them all back. i hate to have grown that attitude but its getting way out of hand, all way round;
Alleged members of America’s most infamous migrant group caused more chaos over the weekend that could have resulted in a horrific tragedy, and got away with it.
On Saturday, an American woman from Columbus, Ohio, posted a video on TikTok showing the aftermath of a major accident. Immigrants who were reportedly from Somalia slammed directly into her while driving recklessly, causing the massive wreck.
The migrants, unsurprisingly, tried to lie their way out of trouble. They claimed the victim was actually the one at fault because she supposedly backed into them.
The police didn’t buy their story.
The woman reveals that she was placed into the back of a police cruiser for her own safety because the cops thought it was too risky for her to exchange information with them.
She then tells viewers that the culprits claimed they were from Somalia and were planning to return to their homeland. Naturally, the woman was skeptical of the claim...........more........
for a thousand dollars and a sixer of beer;
An Arkansas couple has been sentenced for trying to sell their two-month-old baby boy to a stranger at a campground in exchange for a six-pack of beer and $1,000.
Darien Urban, 22, and Shalene Ehlers, 21, both from Rogers, Arkansas, pleaded guilty to charges stemming from the September 2024 incident at the Beaver Lake Hide-A-Way Campground in Benton County.
According to court documents, the couple approached a man named Cody Martin at the campsite and offered to relinquish their infant to him for the payment.
The couple even drafted and signed a handwritten contract stating:
“I, Darien Urban and Shalene Ehlers, are signing our rights over to Cody Martin of our baby for $1,000 on 9/21/24,” with a disclaimer adding, “After signing this there will be no changing y’all two’s minds to never contact again.”
Luckily, a witness at the campground overheard the conversation, used the manager’s office phone to alert authorities, and provided the signed document to law enforcement, leading to the couple’s arrest by the Benton County Sheriff’s Office.
Urban and Ehlers faced initial charges of endangering the welfare of a minor and attempting to accept consideration for relinquishment of a minor..........more...........
larry johnson sheds some light on the workings of the cia;
Who is Susan Miller? She is a recently retired CIA officer who entered on duty in September 1985, began her career in the Directorate of Intelligence and then, sometime after 1989, changed her career path and moved to the Directorate of Operations, where she spent most of career, including a stint as the Chief of Station in Israel. How do I know this? Well, not only am I relying on press reports… Susan and I were in the same Career Trainee (CT) class. I will let Perplexity tell you about the CT program:
The CIA Career Trainee (CT) Program was the Agency’s long‑standing entry‑level pipeline for young professional officers, designed to select, train, and place people with high potential into substantive intelligence careers (operations, analysis, support, etc.). Historically, it has been an intensive, multi‑stage program combining classroom instruction, tradecraft and leadership training, and early on‑the‑job assignments before trainees move into permanent roles.
By way of background, there are two other members of my CT class who have become public figures — Valerie Plame and Steven Hall. Anyone who has seen the movie, Fair Game, knows who Valerie is and how she was betrayed by the George W Bush administration. Steve Hall, apart from spending 30 years with the CIA as a case officer, was one of the 51 former intelligence officials who signed the now infamous October 19, 2020 open letter suggesting the Hunter Biden laptop story had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.” That letter is now widely acknowledged to have been wrong on the core point that the laptop was likely part of a Russian influence operation, as subsequent reporting and forensic analysis have shown that the laptop was genuine...........more.........
