Islamophobia is getting out of control

Over 24 hours: A Muslim killed 3 Americans in Syria. 5 Muslims arrested for plotting a massacre at a Christmas market in Germany. Paris concert cancelled due to Muslim violence. 2 Muslims murdered 12 people at a Hanukkah party in Australia. Islamophobia is getting out of control

10 trillion !

“Today marks the 10th anniversary of the adoption of the Paris Climate Accord. Despite the world spending $10 trillion dollars trying to implement the agreement over the past 10 years, emissions have increased 12% while the weather and climate remained the same,” Steve Milloy, senior fellow at the Energy and Environment Legal Institute, told the DCNF. “More than just waste, fraud and abuse, the agreement was an unconstitutional effort by the Obama administration to saddle Americans with a UN climate treaty without the required Senate ratification. In the US, efforts to implement the Paris agreement have pointlessly raised energy prices, fueled inflation and weakened national security by making the energy grid dependent on Communist China-made wind, solar and battery equipment. President Trump is to be commended for pulling the U.S. out of the Paris treaty and for taking steps to terminate its offspring known as the Green New Scam.”

Looks like the perp is a little fat libtard to me in the videos. Fox is showing the videos of the perp waddling doing the penguin step.

Unbelievable, the latino police chief with the sign language interprator explaining how complex this case is.

Get him in custody ASAP!

The guy was clearly on a mission with TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrom).

I suspect this is why Trump was briefed early on.

FRIDAY’S BOMBING OF SILVER IS NOW REVERSED

MEANWHILE DESPITE THE FOCUS ON TRUMPS MEAN “TRUTHS” …THE UKRAINE WAR IS ENDING

US officials on Russia-Ukraine negotiations:

-90% of sticking points resolved
-US prepared to help Ukraine to facilitate a lasting peace
-On Zaporizhzhia, still a gap between Russia and Ukraine but both want it repaired and operational; close to agreement for 50-50 split on the power.
-Wins for Europe include a very strong security package that US thinks Russia will agree to
-Russia is open to Ukraine joining EU
-the security guarantees are very strong with an “article 5 mirror agreement” with oversight and deconfliction. The security guarantees are robust and they’re real.

Speculative Shits & Giggles Trade

A couple months back saw some write ups on a small Canadian company that has been working on the technology for a decade, to enable a breathalyzer for detection of marijuana impairment levels similar to the one for alcohol.  Don’t have a product yet, but if it comes up with one and they do have patents, could provide a narrative that leads to a meme type blowoff, even if they don’t make the big money that could come from a successful product.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Anyway, I decided to take a very small flyer, just for kicks, this morning at 37 cents US.  Trump is possibly going to lower the classification level on pot today and while that doesn’t do much directly, it may give the speculators a reason to buy and get some momentum going.  Probably won’t do much unless and until the company announces a breakthrough that makes it ready to come to market? Name is Cannabix Technologies symbol(BLOZF) in US, not sure what the Canadian symbol is.                                         

IT’S MUCH WORSE HERE IN CANADA

A while back I expressed shock and dismay regarding the obvious rise of antisemitism in Canada . My concerns were met by a now departed Poster as Bullshit and Over reaction .

…….well….here’s an article from the National Post Canada’s de facto Right Wing newspaper…….

……………….

On Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas invaded Israel, brutally murdering 1,200 people and abducting 251 hostages. What happened next was shocking, as people took to the streets of Canada and other western countries, not to mourn the victims, but to celebrate their murderers.

Just over two years later, here in Canada, police-reported antisemitic hate crimes have skyrocketed. Jewish institutions have been shot at and firebombed.

This left many Canadians asking, “What is happening here?”

This isn’t a crypto story. This is the construction of a parallel monetary system………. (TETHER, GOLD)

THREAD — Multiple entries

Something BIG is happening and almost nobody sees it. Tether has quietly accumulated over 116 tonnes of physical Gold ,more than many small central banks. Everyone thinks it’s “just another Purchase”… but they’re completely wrong.

This isn’t a crypto story.
This is the construction of a parallel monetary system.
The real reason Tether is buying gold is because U.S. institutional capital is flowing offshore through digital rails and accumulating Gold outside the reach of U.S. jurisdiction.
And Tether is stepping in to provide the settlement infrastructure for that demand.

https://x.com/Macrobysunil/status/1994059507069243613

 

From comments:

 You’re actually describing it perfectly.
Tether isn’t just absorbing U.S. bonds, it’s converting dollar liquidity into hard-asset reserves (Gold + BTC) and issuing stablecoins against them.
USDC moves dollars into the system.
USDT + XAUT convert that value into offshore settlement backed by real assets.
So yes, Tether is functioning like an air-brake + bridge in the transition from debt-based money to asset-backed money.
That’s the real story unfolding beneath the surface

This is in direct competition to US treasury backed stablecoins–what they’re relying upon to mop up US debt.

Why Is Europe Feverishly Preparing For World War III?

If there is going to be peace, why are we witnessing the largest military buildup in Europe since the end of the Cold War?  When it comes to the major players on the geopolitical stage, it is far more important to watch what they do than it is to listen to what they say.  And right now the actions that the major European powers are taking are telling us that they are preparing for a huge war with Russia.

It is an enormous chunk of territory, and it is absolutely teeming with natural resources.

For most European leaders, it is unthinkable that Ukraine could be allowed to fall back into Russian hands, but at the moment more Ukrainian territory is being taken by the Russians with each passing day.

Chile Warming Up

This map showing the pro-Trump populist revolution is currently going viral in South America Pro-Trump leaders in blue.

 Jose Antonio Kast won Chile’s presidential election on Sunday, leveraging voter fears over rising crime and migration to steer the country in its sharpest rightward shift since the end of the military dictatorship in 1990.
Kast secured a commanding 58% of the vote in a runoff with the government-backed leftist candidate Jeannette Jara, who won 42% and swiftly conceded.

Brown University murder victim was Targeted

PERSPECTIVE

I’ve lived through some terribly turbulent times in our nation and in the world. Vietnam almost tore this country apart. Watergate was a severe wound. The Manson murders shredded the fabric of our culture. 9/11 was shocking. The COVID pandemic and ensuing political madness were bitter and disgraceful.

I now feel, however, that the disturbing malaise poisoning our current world is in many ways worse than all of these other events. It is literally as if the world has spun off its axis, never to find balance again. I’ve never been more concerned about the future of the human race. And the worst part of all of it, is that it’s predictable, and therefore preventable. Everything that’s wrong is staring us right in the face, and half this country simply will not join us in fighting and fixing it. It’s infuriating and depressing and maddening.

Actor James Woods

Witnessed a potential disaster on the “Coquihella” Hwy today in BC

Spotted a young driver of a tractor-trailer stopped on the side of the highway on a incline who was running to extinguish a fire on what appeared to be seized brakes on the trailer.

Suddenly the trailer lurched forward, slowly at first. Quickly he ran, jumped in the cab and brought the unit to a stop before it took out passing traffic. Did he not set the brake? What training did he have? Yes, he appeared to be from India as are most of the BC commercial drivers I see on our highways. I constantly see them weaving across the line as I pass quickly on a divided highway. Are they distracted? Almost all are from the Indian subcontinent. I check when passing. Do they not take their responsibility seriously? I thought we were doing something to fix this problem.

Society seems to be breaking down faster or am I just experiencing more insanity.

Had a couple of neighbours with new boilers crap out on them after less than a year. Always a sensor that goes.
One of these neighbours had a fairly new snowblower breakdown due to a defective part. Boy was he pissed. Can’t get the sensor or the snowblower part until after New Year. Luckily he has a backup heat source to keep the plumbing from freezing.
Had some routine fluids changed on my car at the dealer and needed to return twice due to leaking from a defective new washer or the new plug. I was told it happens.
I am hesitant to replace an older model appliance. So I source the broken part and replace myself. If the 27 yo Maytag washer and dryer go, I am not going to be happy with these new water saver models. They move where ever we move. They are bullet proof and work as expected.
Sheesh.
