I, personally, am literally at times sick of the Canadian, Maine and other firestorms impacting the air quality where I live in central MA. However, I prefer that scenario over living here in this photo below where a hoard of greedy and greatly determined would-be entrepreneurs (Trump minded individuals and conglomerate members of assorted soy, beef, pig ham, gold, etc., consortiums) want to take down/dismantle the rest of a remaining wilderness for a personal financial gain — including land belonging for centuries to indigenous natives in Brazil and other South American countries or to the Palestinians in Gaza. …

In other words and as our human population keeps growing, more and more people will resort to theft (of resources, land, water and more) to make a financial (and sometimes literal) killing of others (indigenous natives and Palestinians included as, for example, had happened to natives in the formation of the USA, Canada and some other American nations) to try to make a private fortune (or simply to just eek out a mere humble living) for themselves.

Information is power, government records access is a valuable resource for anyone who yearns to have a transparent and accountable government. The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is perhaps the strongest method for obtaining access to government files, shedding light on the activities of public bodies and figures and bringing to light the truths that lie buried in the dark.

The Origins and Evolution of FOIA

The United States Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) was enacted into law in 1966 with the objective of opening up government federal records to citizens. It was a milestone towards openness that would give assurances that information within the custody of government agencies could no longer be confidential unless exempted by specific exceptions. Though initiated at the national level, the FOIA principles have shaped the enactment of comparable legislations in other nations, significantly advancing the world's demand for government accountability. FOIA requests can reveal the most mundane aspects of government, such as reports, letters, and policy responses, to surveillance records and classified information that was declassified over the years.

I. The Human Genocide Hook

A Palestinian family telephone call is not private. It goes through a Microsoft Azure cloud server utilized by the Israeli military. The call is copied, stored, indexed, and analyzed by AI scrutiny. The system grades participants on their "threat level" based on voice, location, word usage, and contact history. THE PEOPLE USING PHONES ARE TARGETED BY DRONES AND MISSILES.

Our shared Panopticon (e-Cage) is not targeted eavesdropping. This is dragnet intercept—every call, every message, every signal vacuumed up by intention. The machinery is private. The intent is military. Gaza is a proving ground for a global kill system. In the words of George W. Bush, either you are with us, or (we kill you) you are against us.

Welcome to the Grocery Game of Loophole Laws

Walk into any Von’s, Albertsons, or Safeway in the U.S. or Canada, and you’re stepping into a modern-day chemical carnival dressed as a grocery store. These supermarket titans dominate aisle after aisle, peddling products that often contain ingredients banned elsewhere or wrapped in packaging saturated with forever chemicals—all thanks to gaping loopholes in food safety laws.

Under the winsome soft "natural" labels and silky advertisements, however, is a shadow economy of poisons, additives, and hormone-fed meat repudiated by European and Canadian regulators years ago. But back here in North America, Von's and its ilk operate behind the scenes, using technical loopholes to generate profits as consumers pay the price in compromised health.

The story isn't so much about what's in the product—but about what's not being told in the labels. What these chains won't disclose, and the chemicals they still pump into millions, is one of corporate greed and regulatory failure.

No Service, No Consent, No Escape: Inside Meta's Global Surveillance Cathedral

A dossier on voyeurism, digital stalking, and the corporate-state merger that now controls thought itself. Mark Zuckerberg is building a data center which will dwarf the NSA’s Utah Data Center (and undoubtedly will aid the NSA in preventing free speech/free press/free expression on the “open” Internet.

I.              Zuckerberg the Voyeur

A.  The Psychology of a Digital Peeping Tom

Zuckerberg's college-era "FaceMash" and dorm hacks

A Harvard-exclusive website Zuckerberg built in one night to rate students' attractiveness using photos scraped without permission from dorm directories ("face books"). Think of it as a voyeur’s bathroom cam gone digital.

Fixation on cataloging human behavior

Complete crucifixion obsession, consumed by cataloguing human behavior and human interpersonal relationships as “data” and “profit.” Who you are inside and who you love, and hate is cannon fodder for Meta’s spy system. Infamous for his warrantless data dumps to Big Brother Homeland “Security.”

Public confessions: "They trust me… dumb f***s"

This statement, straight from Mark Zucker, is the Rosetta Stone of his psychological core – a smug, smarmy, anti-social, devious trillionaire who uses money, power and tech to betray your confidence in him. This is the one true, immutable lens into Mark’s soul: "They trust me… dumb f***s."

Zelensky’s unrealistic demands—NATO membership, $1 trillion in reparations, and no territorial concessions—risk prolonging Ukraine’s losing war. Russian forces continue advancing in Donbas as Ukraine suffers heavy losses, yet Zelensky refuses to negotiate. Trump is pushing for a decisive deal with Putin, potentially sidelining Zelensky if he obstructs peace efforts. European leaders, despite economic struggles, back Zelensky’s hardline stance, but they lack the resources to sustain it. Zelensky’s defiance may lead to a Trump-Putin deal without Ukraine’s input, sealing the country’s grim fate.

In a major strategic operation, Russian security and military forces have dismantled Ukraine’s covert program to develop long-range ballistic missiles capable of striking deep into Russian territory. The operation, carried out by Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) in coordination with the Defense Ministry, has delivered both a military and psychological blow to Kyiv at a critical moment—just as world attention turns to the upcoming high-stakes talks between Presidents Putin and Trump.

Scientists have issued an alarming warning to the public that the “toxic synergy” of mRNA “vaccines” and COVID-19 is serving as “dual bioweapons” to wipe out humanity with surging chronic disease and global sudden deaths. The public was promised that Covid mRNA shots would protect against the virus. However, mounting evidence now suggests the opposite. In a chilling new manuscript, scientists assert the visus and “vaccines” have been working against humanity by fueling an unprecedented global health crisis. The warning was revealed in a bombshell 380-reference scientific manuscript from the McCullough Foundation.

The Russia-US summit could reshape the Ukraine war – and leave Europe watching from the sidelines. By Dmitry Suslov, member of the Russian Council on Foreign and Defense Policy, deputy director of World Economy and International Politics at Moscow’s Higher School of Economics, and Valdai Club expert. On Friday, Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump will meet in Alaska. This will be the first full-scale Russia-US summit since June 2021 in Geneva, and the first official visit by a Russian president to American soil since Dmitry Medvedev’s trip in 2010 at the height of the “reset.” It will also be the first time the leaders of Russia and the US have met in Alaska, the closest US state to Russia, separated only by the narrow Bering Strait, and once part of the Russian Empire. The symbolism is obvious: as far as possible from Ukraine and Western Europe, but as close as possible to Russia. And neither Zelensky nor the EU’s top brass will be in the room.

At least 650,000 Ukrainian men of fighting age have fled the country since the conflict with Russia escalated in 2022, The Telegraph reported on Thursday. Others are hiding inside Ukraine or bribing officials to avoid being sent to the front, as the military faces its worst manpower crisis, the newspaper wrote. According to the report, draft evasion in Ukraine is “tipping into crisis” amid Russian advances in the Donetsk region. Earlier this week, DeepState, a monitoring group with ties to the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, described the situation as “chaotic” with Russian troops “accumulating forces for further advancement.”

Face-to-face talks between Russian and US Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump will take place on the joint base of the Air Force and US Army Elmendorf-Richardson. ANCHORAGE, /Alaska/, August 15. /TASS/. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Russian ambassador to Washington Alexander Darchiyev have arrived in Anchorage, Alaska, to participate in the Russian-US summit, a source familiar with the situation told TASS. Face-to-face talks between Russian and US Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump will take place on the joint base of the Air Force and US Army Elmendorf-Richardson. Russian Presidential Aide Yury Ushakov said on Thursday that the summit will begin at 22:30 Moscow time. It will be opened by a one-on-one conversation, in which, besides the leaders, only interpreters will participate.

Several new analyses from Western and pro-Ukrainian analysts see nothing positive for Ukraine, as the Russian military machine continues to hone itself. An update on the war following a recent trip. As Russian offensive presume mounts, the front is not at risk of collapse, though salients have formed. More concerning is that Russian improvements in drone employment have reduced Ukraine’s advantages. 1/ In 2024 AFU expanded drone units within the force. This helped offset Russia’s materiel advantage, while compensating for the AFU’s continued manpower deficit. These initiatives are now well known and I covered them in previous threads. 2/

First Lady Melania Trump has initiated legal action against Hunter Biden, demanding $1 billion in damages for what her legal team describes as “false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements” linking her to deceased child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. The claims were made during Biden’s appearance on the Channel 5 podcast and YouTube show and have since been widely circulated on social media and various media outlets. Hunter Biden alleged that Jeffrey Epstein introduced the First Lady to President Donald J. Trump, alleging it was “beyond a doubt” that Trump and Epstein were “very close friends” who spent significant time together. Hunter Biden has refused to apologize or retract his apparently false assertion...

On the 90th anniversary of the Social Security Act, President Donald J. Trump delivered a stirring proclamation in the Oval Office, promising to “Make Social Security Great Again.” Trump celebrated the passage of his signature legislation, the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” which includes a temporary senior tax deduction, effectively eliminating taxes on Social Security benefits for many recipients aged 65 and above from 2025 through 2028. As part of the administration’s push to “root out fraud, waste, and abuse,” Trump touted removing 275,000 illegal aliens from the Social Security system and clearing 12.4 million names listed as being over 120 years old. In his remarks and through a White House post, he claimed many of these phantom entries were getting benefits.

God Poet Transmitting....... Major adjustments are being made behind the scenes of the manifest world. It’s affecting everything and everyone. There is turmoil in the boardrooms, and part of the reason for this is the intensifying scrutiny on the serial killer nation of Israel. Most of the banks in The World answer to The Bank of International Settlements in Basel, which is... by law... above the law.

Recent news, easily missed amid headlines about presidential campaign drama, natural disasters and Olympic gold, has been a somber reminder for those who caught it: As the 23rd anniversary of 9/11 approaches, Americans still don’t have a full accounting of the role of a supposed U.S. ally, Saudi Arabia, in the terrorist attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people. We should. It’s late, but never too late, to learn the truth — no matter the Saudis’ oil wealth, geopolitical weight or billions given to a former and perhaps future president’s son-in-law.

The arrangement crafted by the Trump administration is “unusual,” analysts told CNBC, but underscores the president's transactional nature. Nvidia and AMD have agreed to share 15% of their revenue from sales to China with the U.S. government, the White House confirmed Monday, sparking debate about whether the move could affect the chip giants’ business and whether Washington might seek similar deals. In exchange for the revenue cut, the two semiconductor companies will receive export licenses to sell Nvidia’s H20 and AMD’s MI308 chips in China, according to the Financial Times. “We follow rules the U.S. government sets for our participation in worldwide markets. While we haven’t shipped H20 to China for months, we hope export control rules will let America compete in China and worldwide,” Nvidia said in a statement to NBC News. “America cannot repeat 5G and lose telecommunication leadership. America’s AI tech stack can be the world’s standard if we race.”

The Digital Services Act is a direct assault on free speech and the US State Department wants it repealed. Washington is taking aim at Europe’s internet censorship regulation, with the Trump administration launching a coordinated diplomatic push against the European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA). US officials argue the law places unreasonable burdens on American technology firms and chips away at the foundations of free expression. A classified State Department cable obtained by Reuters reveals that embassies across Europe have been instructed to lobby aggressively against the DSA. Signed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and dated August 4, the cable accuses Brussels of exploiting concerns about “misinformation” and “hate speech” to justify what it describes as excessive restrictions on speech.

In terms of geopolitics one could argue that allies don’t have to like each other, they just have to provide a mutual benefit that serves the greater purposes of peace. One could also argue that through cultural exchange the good habits of one country could easily influence the bad habits of another, but that kind of influence can also happen in reverse. Though we might think of American culture as the content driver of the planet, the reality is that our ideals are an exceedingly rare dynamic found in no other society. We provide sanctuary to a fragile ember of free thought in an otherwise gloomy world of globalist oppression. It is something that must be protected at all costs.

Here is Makis’ interview with Alex Jones from August 12. When Alex Jones (v5.0?) is brought into the matter, by now we can calculate that the white hats are behind it. Jones’ angling of this interview sounds like a rehash and outing of some of the medical tyranny of the Covid period, which by now is fading from public view somewhat. Makis gives us a useful overview of several antiparasitic drugs in the role of cancer treatment and their various mechanisms, which shut down cell dysfunctionality. These mechanisms and benefits have been in the published medical literature for at least 15 years. (15 minute video)

WCBD also revealed that McLeod, a married father of four, went on a profanity-ridden rant later in the video that includes threats toward current and former South Carolina GOP politicians. One person mentioned was SC Attorney General Alan Wilson, who is also running for governor. “I’m gonna kick your f**king teeth in!” McLeod yelled about Wilson. He later refused to exit the police vehicle, refusing to exit the patrol vehicle when it arrived at the Al Cannon Detention Center, telling officers he would sleep there. “I’m not getting out of this car,” he said. “It’s time to go to bed.” WCBD obtained a preliminary incident report which stated that McLeod’s eyes were “extremely bloodshot and highly dilated.” As an officer noted, this suggested he was “under the influence of a stimulant narcotic.” But it’s unclear whether McLeod was tested for any substances.

The Guardian and ITV News have released aerial footage revealing the complete and total devastation wrecked upon the civilian population of Gaza by the Jewish state with US-supplied bombs. The videos were taken from Jordanian planes as they flew over the Strip to drop aid for the Palestinians -- whom Israel has been actively trying to starve into submission. Seen from the air, Gaza looks like the ruins of an ancient civilisation, brought to light after centuries of darkness. A patchwork of concrete shapes and shattered walls, neighbourhoods scattered with craters, rubble and roads that lead nowhere. The remnants of cities wiped out. But here, there has been no natural disaster and no slow passage of time. Gaza was a bustling, living place until less than two years ago, for all the challenges its residents endured even then. Its markets were crowded, its streets were full of children. That Gaza is gone – not buried under volcanic ash, not erased by history, but razed by an Israeli military campaign that has left behind a place that looks like the aftermath of an apocalypse.

“She is never in the office and is very disengaged. She does her bulls— that goes viral, and then freaks out over the most random things,” a former aide said “She is laying around her apartment, won’t come into the office, and is really just indifferent to staff and will scream at them,” another aide said A THIRD aide added “she is focused almost exclusively on being an influencer, not a member of Congress” Crockett also DEMANDS to be driven around in the backseat of an Escalade any time she’s in Washington, requiring a staffer to wait HOURS next to the car just to be ready to open the door for her.

The ramblings of a lunatic really... Mad cow disease, professional propagandist payed tens of millions of dollars a year by the Global Elite, Big Brother, to obfuscate, spin, gaslight, propagandize. It's all hyperbole, distraction, fearmongering, the endless media bastardization of Trump that began in 2016.
