massie has a fan made video;
From Grok:
The video is fan-made, not produced by or officially associated with Thomas Massie or any campaign of his.
The account that posted it, @ShanonLee_AF, later stated that she wrote the song and made the video herself after staying up to finish it. Searches turn up no official “Revolution 2028” video, campaign material, or endorsement from Massie or his office tied to this clip.
Massie has left open the possibility of a 2028 run after his May 2026 primary loss and has filed paperwork allowing continued fundraising, but the specific video circulating here is an independent supporter production.........more..........
mearsheimer covers the orange man's big bluff;
The Trump administration and its supporters – including the Wall Street Journal editorial page – are working overtime these days to spin the news around the Iran war to make it appear that the US is winning and Tehran had better submit to Washington’s demands before it is wrecked, maybe even “annihilated.” Indeed, Trump is preparing the option of bringing the military hammer down on Iran after the midterm elections if Tehran has not surrendered by then.
In effect, Trump and his supporters are waging a “maximum pressure campaign” against Iran in the mainstream media.
This campaign is sure to fail. If anything, it reflects the Trump administration’s desperation. The president started a war the United States was bound to lose, and there is little he can do now to change that basic fact.
Trump’s propaganda campaign has two dimensions – one economic and the other military.
First, the administration argues that Iran is being economically strangled by the US naval blockade coupled with Operation Economic Outcast, the strategy announced by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on 24 August 2026. At the same time, it maintains that oil is once again flowing out of the Gulf at rates not far below those that prevailed on 27 February 2026. The implications are obvious: the economic punishment being inflicted on Iran will force it to capitulate soon, while the US economy – and the international community more generally – is well on its way to recovery..............more..........
canada began becoming a strange place with the advent of trudeau and ain't stopped since;
I am trying to understand and explain why 70% of Canadians support Mark Carney. Essentially, 60% of us depend on the government for our living, and the rest, the 30% will expire, their businesses, income and revenue will drop, if the Trump tariffs take effect. Which means that the Liberal Party of Canada has broken the country so thoroughly, that without the massive subsidy from the States of 10% of our GDP a year - to include our $50 billion trade deficit with the U.S., our 25-50% tariffs on U.S. goods coming in, and 2% of our annual GDP spent on defense.
We cannot do it. We will die. We cannot exist without American largesse. We have destroyed our economy so thoroughly we are beggars.
Our GDP will drop !0% and we will be in a deep deep depression.
Which may be the only thing to wake us up.
Canadians are a sleepy bunch, other than our immigrants who are roaringly ambitious and will succeed using the lovely talents they brought with them. Apparently in their cultures, recreational lakes are also abattoirs, toilets, and laundries.
Once almost crime-free and pristine, Canada is now a Cartel, Triad, fentanyl and human trafficking hub that launders most of the continent’s drug money. Our banks? Fully complicit; the TD was caught but most of them do it; they have to, we are not producing enough revenue for them to profit otherwise.........more..........
the national id no one voted for;
Login.gov now reports 180 million accounts spanning 700 services and 54 agencies, and the man recently placed in charge of expanding it is Greg Hogan, a former executive at the self-driving-car company comma.ai who had never worked in government before the second day of Donald Trump’s second term. That was when Hogan entered the Office of Personnel Management as its chief information officer, becoming the person responsible for deciding who could access the employment records of nearly every federal worker in the country.
Hogan barely exists online. There are no interviews, panels, or public statements explaining what he believes government technology should do, and nearly every word attributed to him in the press came from internal emails obtained by reporters. His first major contribution to the federal government, however, was difficult to miss, because he helped build the system Elon Musk used to email approximately two million public employees and demand a list of five things they had accomplished that week, with Musk threatening that failure to respond would be treated as a resignation..........more...........
chris rock is certainly a sharp individual who can decipher small clues as well as large;
Chris Rock compared “wokeness” to the Salem witch trials in a New York Times interview published Saturday, calling the line “half a joke” and arguing that once the hunt became an institution, it had to start making accusations up.
Rock, 61, spoke with David Marchese on The Interview, the Times podcast, about his upcoming film Misty Green and the theme of forgiveness.
The comedian described a friend who had been “canceled,” and said another friend asked how he could still associate with that person.
“If you’re only friends with your friends when they’re good, they’re not your friends,” Rock said. He added that the point was not to condone abusive behavior.
From there, the interview turned to a discussion about the culture of the last several years.
“The problem with ‘wokeness’ — and don’t get me wrong, it is great that marginalized people have a voice; it is great to advocate for anybody that feels marginalized — but the problem is we’re in the Old Testament right now,” he said. “The Old Testament has no forgiveness. The Old Testament didn’t work, so they had to write a remix called the New Testament.”
Marchese noted that some people now call the immediate post-George Floyd period, sometimes labeled “Woke 1.0,” crazy............more..........
larry johnson has some info about our coming fuel problems;
Once again Karl W. Miller has put numbers to a problem that most of the commentariat still treats as a temporary price spike. His latest forward outlook, “The Five-Year Global Energy Crisis,” dated October 3, makes an argument that should alarm every finance ministry from Berlin to Jakarta. The war’s damage to Gulf energy infrastructure is not a disruption that ends when the shooting stops. It is a reconstruction problem measured in years and trillions of dollars, and while it is solved, the world will be short of the fuels that run its economy.
A ceasefire is not a repair crew
Miller’s central insight is simple. A ceasefire can reopen a shipping lane overnight. It cannot manufacture a compressor, mobilize commissioning engineers, or pay a contractor. The next phase of this crisis, he writes, is a competition for cash, equipment, qualified contractors and finished fuel.
His cost model is sobering. In his aggressive case, rebuilding the damaged Gulf energy system requires $1.16 trillion in total program funding. Under prolonged stress, with scarce equipment, rising prices and delays, the bill reaches $2.53 trillion. Even his faster case runs to nearly half a trillion dollars. He is careful to say these are model outputs, not contractor quotes, and that the true extent of the damage is the largest unknown. An April assessment put energy-related repair costs at only $34-58 billion. But the direction of his argument doesn’t depend on the exact figure. Every month of delay makes the same repair more expensive, because the global market for specialized equipment and crews is already stretched by LNG expansions, refinery maintenance and power projects elsewhere...........more.........
caitlin says zionism is obviously a racist problem;
On Sunday the UK Greens adopted a motion asserting that Zionism is a form of racism, defining the ideology as “an ethnonationalist political project.”
Green Party leader Zack Polanski, who is Jewish, was immediately banned by the Israeli government from entering the nation after the motion was passed.
As you might expect, Israel apologists are presently churning out hasbara trying to spin the new Green Party policy as an evil attack on Jews and arguing that Zionism is actually a perfectly lovely and normal thing that we should all support.
“Zionism is just the belief that Jews deserve a homeland and self-determination,” they’ll claim, often adding a suggestion that the real racists are those who would oppose such a reasonable position.............more........
this guy would give any nazi a run for his money, being the most heinous;
Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir claimed that all three administrative areas of the occupied West Bank “belong to Israel,” contradicting arrangements established under the Oslo Accords between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization.
Under the 1995 Oslo II Accord, the West Bank was divided into Areas A, B and C. Area A is under full Palestinian control, Area B is under Palestinian civilian and Israeli security control. Area C, which accounts for around 60% of the territory, is under full Israeli control.
“There is no difference between Areas A, B and C. The entire land is ours. This is our country,” Ben-Gvir told Israel’s right-wing Channel 14 on Thursday.
Ben-Gvir also threatened to dismantle the Palestinian Authority, and push for the displacement of Palestinians from West Bank and the Gaza Strip if he becomes the defense minister.
He claimed that 60% of Palestinians want to “emigrate,” despite reports to the contrary. “I will dedicate time to this, and I will manage the process continuously. Every week, I will hold a discussion involving all relevant parties,” he said.
Asked how Israel could provide additional forces for West Bank and Gaza, Ben-Gvir said: “It is very simple: The more you allow soldiers to shoot and use force, the less manpower you need.”.........more............
mr peters speaks of the rent all property owners must pay or loose their ground;
When I paid off my mortgage, I thought – finally – I’d no longer have to make monthly payments. Anyone who “owns” (a sad term, given the realities) their home knows better. The payments aren’t monthly – like a mortgage or rental payment – but that doesn’t change the fact that you’re making them.
It occurs to me that it would be a helpful exercise – to help people understand the reality of their situation – to think about the payments they’re having to make on a monthly rather than once every six months or once a year basis. This way, it’s very clear you’re paying every month to avoid being evicted from what isn’t really your house, just as if you stopped paying your mortgage or rent. The latter word is italicized because it’s the proper word to use. A mortgage is finite. At some point, you pay the thing off. At which point, no more paying. Rent, on the other hand, is always due – forever. Or at least, for as long as you want to avoid being told you’ve got to leave (and helped to leave, if it comes to that, by the sheriff).
The way property taxes – i.e., the rent you’re required to pay to avoid being evicted from the home you thought you “owned” – are structured is deliberate, in the same way (and for the same reason) that what they call “withholding” was structured the way it is structured. “Withholding” means they subtract money from your paycheck before you even get the chance to hold it, however briefly. The genius of this is it conditioned people to regard their so-called “take home” pay – the money they actually get to hold – as their actual pay. In other words, they are conditioned to not even miss what they never actually had. If instead people had to write a check to the government come April 15 for all the money the government says they “owe,” there would probably be a revolution. Instead, people just plod along, never missing the money they never actually had (though they did actually work to earn it)..............more............
tokens are the scheme with which you will own nothing;
“You will own nothing and be happy.”
You remember the slogan. It was mocked. It was dismissed. It was treated as a conspiracy theory.
It was a plan. And the mechanism for completing that plan is called tokenization.
Tokenization is not a technological upgrade. It is a legal structure that separates ownership from control. It converts your home, your land, your assets into a token—a digital claim on a company that holds the thing you thought you owned. When you buy a token, you do not own the apartment. You own a share in a company that owns the apartment. Your name comes off the deed. Your rights become revocable. Your ownership becomes a permission slip that can be frozen, programmed, or revoked.
The New York Stock Exchange is being tokenized right now.
January 2026: NYSE announced digital platform
March 2026: MOU with Securitize
April 2026: SEC approved rule change SR-NYSE-2026-17
May 2026: rule fully operational
July 15, 2026: DTCC pilot production trades
Q3 2026: first token-settled trades expected
Late 2026: full launch targeted

What the Cornell Rape Allegation Really Tells Us Is that Sexual Morality Is Stone Dead and that Men and Women Willingly Participate in Promiscuous Sexual Debauchery
Paul Craig Roberts
Richard Parker provides a well-researched account. Read his account as a check on the accuracy of my brief summary: https://www.unz.com/article/concerning-a-rape-allegation-scandal-at-cornell/
Here in brief is the documented story given to the police by the female Cornell Student. In October 2024, she agreed to sexual activity known as threesomes, in this case FMM. The activity with varying male partners continued all night until 5:45 am at which time she declared that she was tired. The sex stopped. She told the police that she voluntarily used alcohol and ketamine and that she was OK with the threesomes. The district attorney found nothing to prosecute. Why it was investigated is unclear as apparently she made no complaint.
She learned from a sorority sister that she was acquiring the reputation of a slut. Her response was that her critics were just jealous, that she enjoyed the threesomes, it wasn’t illegal, and sexual behavior and practices were changing. Perhaps her behavior was on the cutting edge, but before long it would be ordinary.
The students were mimicking the sexual activity they watch on porn sites. It is amazing how upset liberals get over the sexual liberation they fostered, especially the feminists who taught that women should be as promiscuous or more than men. As early as 1965 Feminist Helen Gurley Brown’s magazine, Cosmopolitan, was a fixture in doctors’ and dentists’ waiting rooms with its cover stories “How to Cheat on Your Husband Without Getting Caught,” and “How to Find a Sexual Partner when on Vacation Without your Boyfriend.” I often wondered what my mother, aunts, and grandmothers’ would think. As time passed feminists transformed themselves from encouragers of female sexual promiscuity to regarding heterosexual sex as rape........more........
we have officially descended into tyranny when 'our news' gets to this level of doublespeak. i believe nothing i hear on the 'news' from 'our official' news rooms;
Update: This statement by the Iranian commander directly contradicts the claims of US Central Command, the US Treasury Secretary, and the London Telegraph: https://www.presstv.co.uk/Detail/2026/10/04/777632/US-forces-fled-over-1000-km-from-Iranian-borders-says-top-IRGC-commander-
Do “news reports” Have Any Value?
Paul Craig Roberts
I have come to the conclusion that journalism in the West has been replaced by hired narratives and that reporters report the narrative that they are hired to tell. It is a new form of vanity press in which interest groups hire a propaganda service to market their agenda.
I will present a current example. On September 28 US Central Command denied that Iran had control of the Strait of Hormuz. Central Command said the US sank the Iranian Navy and that “thousands of ships have passed through freely along with more than 1 billion barrels of oil just over the past few months.”
The previous day Trump’s Secretary of the Treasury said on Fox News that the Strait of Hormuz was open–except to Iranian oil “which we are not letting out”–and that 15-22 millions of barrels of oil are passing through the strait daily. In other words, the energy crisis is over and has been according to US Central Command during “the past few months” while we have had an energy crisis..
The London Daily Telegraph, once a respectable Tory newspaper, has become a “hire to have your story told” organization. David Blair, Chief Foreign Affairs Commentator, wrote in the Telegraph 2 days ago that
“It has taken a monumental effort by the US navy but the tankers are steaming through the Strait of Hormuz once again, carrying about as much oil as they did before Donald Trump launched his onslaught against Iran..........more........
