"...Same happens on Substack...
- The #1 stack in the category of Science is of course a government fake front...
The way to tell - a stack with 10,000+ paid subs (!!!) generates a handful of comments, all profoundly dumb, kissing the government’s ass...
I also know that this is not illegal, and that
- they take the covid blood money from the feds/spook agencies to prop up storefronts of “mega influencers” of the government narrative by
- generating gazillion fake social media accounts (check out service offerings from Groupsense.io) and
- laundering DOD covid money through them at $8/pop...
A special edition on art theft--The Economist
"...When it comes to art theft, the truth is usually much blander than fiction.
A recent book told of how Stéphane Breitwieser, working in broad daylight, managed to lift well over 200 items by targeting museums and auction houses with lax security. Recent reports from the British Museum suggest that an employee pilfered around 2,000 objects.
With a collection of 8m items—many of which are not on display, nor catalogued—it took a while for people to notice that the odd gem or bracelet had gone walkabout.
Tales of stolen art are fascinating all the same, partly because a missing painting or sculpture can feel like an affront to the public good.

"...Unlike their cases, Samuel Lazar’s appears to have been resolved in secret — kept under seal with no explanation, even after his release from prison.
Lazar, 37, of Ephrata, Pennsylvania, was arrested in July 2021 on charges that he came to the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, dressed in tactical gear and protective goggles, and used chemical spray on officers who were desperately trying to beat back the angry Donald Trump supporters.

More media lies-----Destroying the Dams of Derna | The Pipeline
Destroying the Dams of Derna | The Pipeline - Richard Fernandez
"In the early hours of September 11 in Libya the waters of the Wadi Derna river burst through the dams that restrained them and rampaged through the coastal city of Derna in Libya’s east.
"In the early hours of September 11 in Libya the waters of the Wadi Derna river burst through the dams that restrained them and rampaged through the coastal city of Derna in Libya’s east.
Authorities estimated the death toll at more than 5,000, with 10,000 still missing.
"FRANCE 24 looks back at the years of violence and neglect that left the city ill-prepared for the unprecedented natural disasters of the climate crisis."So was the disaster caused by "climate crisis" or regime change crisis?
Libya has been a failed state since the the "Arab Spring" protests of 2011, which led to a civil war, foreign military intervention, and the American-led ousting and death of strongman Muammar Gaddafi.
The failure of the Derna dams might have been completely preventable had they been maintained...
dams had not been properly cared for in more than two decades.
“The dams have not been maintained since 2002, and they are not big,” he said.
The biggest source of "man-made climate catastrophe" isn't the use of energy, which produces carbon by-products; it's misgovernment, war and central planning gone wrong. Grain disruptions in Ukraine, deforestation in Haiti, flooding in Libya are examples of these. Ruining the environment is fundamentally no different from wrecking your car by racing it without engine oil; it's introducing chaos into order.
Societal collapse-----This week in racism
This week in racism
"In Seattle, a so-called “homeless” advocate — a person who advocates for homelessness — claims that anyone discussing the open-air drug markets on the streets of the city, especially in the International District where many of them are, is guilty of racism.
KTTH radio colleague Jason Rantz reports the advocate condemned the term “open-air” because it evokes “Orientalism, a Western way of stereotyping and exoticizing peoples and cultures of Asia…”
