hong kong ain't like the rest of the world;

A massive fire at Wang Fuk Court in the Tai Po district of Hong Kong erupted on Wednesday afternoon, quickly spreading through multiple high rise residential buildings with bamboo scaffolding, trapping hundreds of residents, triggering mass panic, overwhelming firefighters, killing at least 55 people, injuring many others..........more..........

 the putin speaks and always seems to be direct in his russian sort of way but the empire only hears what it wants, and disregards the rest;

On the sidelines of a trade and economic discussion with the govt of Kyrgyzstan and the CSTO summit, Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin took questions from media about the Ukraine -vs- Russia conflict.

Now, due to the significance of his remarks, and keeping in mind these responses are in the Russian language, it becomes important for WESTERN READERS to evaluate the translation.  Vladimir Putin speaks in direct terms that are often not understood in western translation, the nuance within the translation is important.

That said, I am going through the remarks; I will share the video and ongoing translation while extrapolating against the known backdrop of communication as shared by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Emissary Steve Witkoff and ultimately, President Donald Trump............more............

the 'karens' in charge, who say since we 'elected' them they get to do what they want, forget the nature of unintended consequences;

During his first term, the Trump Administration's legalization of hemp in the 2018 Farm Bill was seen as a fantastic win in the crusade to legalize cannabis across the country. Thanks to the bill, not only was hemp cultivation legalized for industrial use, but an additional loophole also paved the way for the legalization of a psychoactive cannabinoid known as Delta-8-THC, which has received high praise for its numerous medicinal uses without the accompanying intensity that comes with a typical cannabis high.

According to the National Cancer Institute, delta-8-THC can be defined as:

“An analogue of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) with antiemetic, anxiolytic, appetite-stimulating, analgesic, and neuroprotective properties. [Delta-8-THC] binds to the cannabinoid G-protein coupled receptor CB1, located in the central nervous system…This agent exhibits a lower psychotropic potency than [delta-9-THC], the primary form of THC found in cannabis.”

Hemp cultivation has a long history in the United States marred by restrictive prohibition at the behest of industrial tycoons of the early 20th century who were threatened by hemp's capability to replace the petrochemical industry due to its potential to create more effective, cleaner, and safer alternatives for thousands of products; capable of replacing oil, plastic, lumber, paper, and cotton...........more...........

 pcr makes an off site appearance in this post in which he shows the realities of 'our free press' which is a wholly owned subsidiary of israel. i once was a regular listener of nancy pelosi radio, many years ago, before it became a deepstate operative. now i get virtually no useful info from the six dominant media groups and haven't tuned into the 'big three' for a long time;

President Trump correctly called out the TV networks for their fake news and said they should be broken up.  He is correct.  It was President Clinton who apparently was paid by the Jews to let them monopolize 90% of the American media in 6 hands.

Trump should include National Public Radio in the breakup.  I came to this conclusion today when listening to a NPR host decry making the large number of childhood vaccinations voluntary.  She struck me as a well paid shill of Big Pharma.  She completely ignored, as if the conclusive evidence did not exist, the connection between widespread childhood illnesses, illnesses that did not exist in the population when I was a child, and the numerous vaccinations, some beginning 24 hours after birth, that Big Pharma has succeeded in having mandated if a child is permitted to attend school.

The Big Pharma shill went on at length about the horror of states passing a law that doctors had to treat an unvaccinated child.  Apparently, the NPR host thought that an unvaccinated child should be permitted to die as punishment to the parents for not having the child vaccinated until its health is ruined and the child becomes a lifetime purchaser of Big Pharma’s medicines to combat the illnesses Big Pharma’s vaccines gave him.........more........

 just trust the science is the mantra we're expected to follow so we'll forget the realities. one way reality arrives is with a second opinion;

• Medical history is filled with harmful, mainstream practices such as mercury treatments, bloodletting, lobotomies and the prescription of heroin, which were once endorsed by trusted institutions but later exposed as dangerous.
• These dangerous practices often persisted long after their risks were known, driven by financial incentives, institutional inertia and a blind faith in medical authority rather than evidence.
• The same pattern of profit and power overriding ethics continues today, with modern parallels seen in the over prescription of opioids, antidepressants linked to suicide and pharmaceutical companies hiding drug risks.
• The fallibility of medicine means today’s standard treatments could become tomorrow’s scandals, leading to growing public distrust in regulatory agencies and the healthcare system.
• Addressing the problem requires a shift toward skepticism and patient autonomy, emphasizing the need for transparency, a rejection of coercion and a preference for holistic therapies that support the body’s innate healing over corporate interests.

For centuries, the medical profession has championed treatments that – far from healing – inflicted suffering, disability and death. From mercury inhalation to lobotomies, history is littered with dangerous interventions once hailed as breakthroughs – only to be exposed as lethal frauds........more..........
