In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.
“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”
“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”
This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

IRS warns taxpayers of new $600 threshold for reporting third-party payments
https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/irs-warns-taxpayers-new-600-threshold-reporting-third-party-payments
“The IRS this week warned taxpayers about its new $600 reporting threshold for third-party payments and the need to fill out a 1099-K form should taxpayers exceed that limit.
In 2021, Congress dropped the reporting threshold from 200 transactions worth a total $20,000 down to just one transaction over $600 as part of the American Rescue Plan, CNBC reported.
That threshold will likely have implications for regular users of Venmo, Paypal, or other payment apps.”
They have to track and all financial transactions. The government and the corporate elites will own the transaction software just as they now control voting software.
Venmo. PayPal and others are easy pickings for them – sort of a warm up exercise to test the software. They need to put 3 more things in place for our financial slavery.
Limit or even eliminate cash withdrawals, deposits and transactions.Regulate (kill off) cryptocurrencyEstablish a central financial clearing house via Central Banl Digital Currency (FedNow).
Beginning to see what 97,000 IRS agents will be doing?
So what are they going to do to hide the flow of their own illicit $$$?
There is no chance they are going to create a system that tracks + controls the $$$ of everyone in the world… They want that from us, but they will maintain the means to move around their own criminal profits…
They already have have these types of systems in place in banking, securities trading, credit/debit card systems. Millions of transactions per second is routine today. All manner of “fraud ” monitoring systems are also in place in those systems. All that has to be done to “centralize it” is the government forcing all banking and card system use the same Central Bank rules processing software (e,g, FedNow)
And yes – be sure that different rules will apply to wage earners than to corporations and “nonprofits”.
Ha ha ha you think digital crypto is not already read by the authorities???
It is not secure especially with central banks, major big tech and major financial institutions being camels already inside the the so-called secure cryptote tent.
If it was not a threat to the central bankers they would not be rushing to kill it with regulations.
They are NOT trying to kill it. The goal is to control the ability to set value, which is NOT the same a killing it.
That is the goal of every bit of proposed and implemented regulations. Try reading the regulations some time it is enlightening.
Ther regulations will force it to follow the rules of Central Bank Currencies. If not decentralized, crypto is little more than yet another bit format running through the fed systems. We just saw this play out on a small scale with Paypal and Venmo. Let them blaze the trail, then reel them in.
“proof of work” blockchain has not been broken and gets stronger with each block mined.
Yeah right …there is an old saying … an the farmer towed another load away.
In the digital world … if there is an interface, a wrapper, middle ware … anything with a connection involved it is broken and NOT secure.
All block chain is good for is to show trace and legitimacy or proof ow work as you call it, it does zero to secure anything.
On the ends of the chain (transactions or transfers out to a cold wallet) but not the immutable ledger.
So you better be doing something legit with it
Difference is that with Central bank digital currency, they will be able to cut off your access to your own money. The head of the bank of international settlements has said publicly that this is the goal – To not just know what people purchase but to be able to control what they purchase and to be able to shut access to their funds off.
Bitcoin was created to hide the aristocracies’ “corruptoconomy”. They cant allow another unregulated one for the people to compete cause they need our tax base.
What scares the Elite is the blockchain (associated encryption). The blockchain will stop corruption. With it we could identify exactly where Ukraine aid was distributed and then again from there.
Exactly. They must regulate crypto to death. Which is why the FTX “crisis” was “exposed”. Never let a good crisis go to waste – create one if necessary.
Hiawatha enters stage left right on cue
Elizabeth Warren Calls on Treasury to Use Every Tool to Rein In Crypto Market
https://www.warren.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/warren-calls-on-treasury-to-use-every-tool-to-rein-in-crypto-market
She just wants her cut like Al Capone’s Protection Money-racket.
Just in the nick of time.
That’s what I mean though — the Elites will never create a system to use against us that will also be used against them… The future system must have loopholes or can be bypassed by them….
The loopholes will be built into the financial transactions software just as it is in Dominion software – it always turns against freemen.
loopholes or no abusive elites
Exactly, I highly recommend listening to the Balaji Srinivasan interview with Lex Fridman. It’s 7.5 hours long but covers many topics and Balaji, in my opinion, has the best foundation on how the “blockchain” decentralization of everything can free us.
Put your biases aside and listen (I’ve listen to it a few times and pick up new stuff every time). I just ignore his opinion on the vaccine, but his suggestions on how to work around the FDA are brilliant and can profoundly change our longevity.
All the “blockchain” is, is a proof of work: verifiable information based on the consensus of the network (decentralized computers that hold the proof of work and they all agree on the information, hence consensus). How it’s implemented can vary widely and encompass more than just cryptocurrency.
Consider this: the Income Tax Amendment – pushed by “Progressives” with the propaganda of envy – was one many nooses now around our freedoms.
What could have possibly happened in 1913? /s/
Jekyll Island
“The real menace of our republic is this invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy length over city, state and nation. Like the octopus of real life, it operates under cover of a self created screen….At the head of this octopus are the Rockefeller Standard Oil interests and a small group of powerful banking houses generally referred to as international bankers. The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes. They practically control both political parties.”–New York City Mayor John F. Hylan, 1922
For anyone interested.
Here is a list of 1913 events.
Woodrow Wilson 🤮
http://www.eventshistory.com/date/1913/
Anyone heard of tariffs…..?
Yep. The port of Salem, MASS in 1802 brought in over 75% of the country’s revenue at the time.
Tariffs, excise taxes, customs duties, and public land sales made up the bulk of federal revenue pre-1913. Also the federal government had relatively few expenses (as compared to today) and did not have as much need to continuously raise humongous amounts of money.
The following article does (IMHO) a decent job of summarizing federal growth before and after 1913. The author (an economics professor at Florida State U.) puts everything into clear perspective, especially as viewed from a contemporary paradigm.
https://fee.org/articles/federal-government-growth-before-the-new-deal/
Thank you for such a good reference. A very good overview.
👍 👍
What agency is the largest revenue collector after the IRS?
Customs and Border Protection.
I’d be curious to see if the revenue they raise via customs duties is sufficient to offset the huge national expense they cause by letting millions of illegals get into the country essentially unabated. Those illegals – in disproportionate numbers compared to the existing population – subsequently cause crime and heavy burdens on the government welfare systems (taxpayer funded). My guess is – not even close. Under orders from the present illegal regime in the White House, CBP likely generates a huge net cost to the nation.
Excellent thx
🙂
Going to be a lot of $599.99 payments
How much does a decent quality handgun or shotgun cost (used and new)?
Under that I would say
Brand new Maverick 88 pump action will run you about $200. Pretty reasonable quality. Unless you’re shopping for Benelli’s you won’t see a lot of shotguns over that. You should also have no problem finding a quality 9mm handgun under that, or even a decent AR.
Does anyone write a bill of sale on a used gun?
private transaction that is
IMO, regardless of how “private” that current sale may be, a buyer of a previously-owned firearm best check to see if it was ever registered when purchased new, or if there were any prior secondary sales reported. Check the laws in your state for resale of firearms, and be sure you do not run afoul of them, especially in the current environment.
https://www.findlaw.com/consumer/consumer-transactions/private-gun-sale-laws-by-state.html
They’re tracking ammo sales. Go cash.
The feds are already wise to the use of a series of smaller transactions to avoid $$ thresholds that trigger reporting. The $10,000 reporting (via form 8300) threshold for deposits at banks has long been known to cause people to deposit those large sums of money via a series of below-$10K deposits. There is a name for that strategy, it is called Structuring, and it is illegal. The feds even look at all banks where a depositor has accounts and checks if a series of deposits has been made within a short period of time but spread across multiple banks. They suspect that strategy is also “Structuring” and they investigate it the same way.
Did you know that a personal check is not considered “cash” by the IRS?
A check has to go through a clearinghouse and two banks, so yes, I knew that.
I think it’s $600 PER YEAR.
I may have made $600 at a craft show after sewing all year. Do I have to file?
Why? If you “may” have made that much, you may also not have made that much.
Don’t let them follow your money!
Words of wisdom and sound advice for all.
It may have been turned in by treasurer of my craft group.
I see in your future lots of cash, a quality safe and a pump shotgun next to the door.
You should work for the psychic network 🔮
Thank you, but I doubt it. I just turned 78 yesterday, don’t have lots of cash and don’t have a shotgun. I’m too old now.
No Form 1099-K is for online third-party payment networks like PayPal and Venmo to file. They will send you a Form 1099-K if they transferred at least $600 to you in the aggregate during the year. If all the payments you received for your sewing came from PayPal you would then get a Form 1099-K from PayPal. If all the payments at the craft show were in cash then you won’t receive a Form 1099-K.
Hence, why they want to get rid of cash. They know how much many is being transferred between people that is cash only. They want their grubby, greedy hands on that also.
But Gold and Silver seem to never go out of style
Exactly and that’s what the 87,000 armed IRS agents will be doing going after the middleclass to get another $1 trillion dollars in taxes and fines to waste on the Green New Deal and the Ukraine!
Those 87,000 agents will not all be armed. Stop spreading misinformation.
Agree. Not to mention how many years it will take to hire and train personnel. It’s not like there are 87,000 agents just rarin’ to go once the 2022 tax returns are filed.

I just posted information!
Otherwise known as a bullshit filter.
And they don’t deserve a penny
Thank you. I have the form from State of Missouri that I don’t have to pay taxes since I’m OLD and retired, and hadn’t paid before. But didn’t know with this new thing of $600.
Do not forget that it also cost you $580 to make, create, and get to market those items that cumulatively added up to $600. You now have to itemize your expenses and costs of goods for that $600 sale.
I know that FB marketplace, Etsy, and OfferUp now track your sales because they have a payment system set up. EBay does not.
ACtually, ebay does. They do their own thing now, and have separated from paypal.
What a coincidence, eh?
It appears Craigslist is still free to post and shows no obvious tracking methods. Perhaps it misses those important youth demographics though.
Thank you. I hadn’t thought of that. FB marketplace – if you make a sale of over $600 you have to declare it? That is bee ess.
If you took in cash, who knows?
This was a 3 day sale by my crafting organization and records are kept. Sadly.
If cash, no.
Yes you have to report it. It’s your patriotic duty to be honest with your government. You can not pick and chose which laws to follow, that’s unpatriotic. You must not follow the examples set by politicians, democrats, globalist, corporatist, cartels and IRS agents.
You sure you did your “patriotic duty” reporting all your baby sitting money earned as a kid?
Tongue in cheek?
The question is not what you sold, it is what you made.
Sales minus costs, ie materials, labor, cost of show, transportation, food, lodging, and any other costs associated with your product.
Keep good records, or tight lips, unless you subscribe to giving to Caesar what is Caesar’s.
Thank you. I hadn’t thought of that.
So one way around it is to do two payments of $500 for a $1000 payment on Venmo.
Usually 1099’s are aggregate, not transaction-based, at least in my experience as a business owner. However, this scheme could be different than traditional business 1099’s.
Also, in business it is the payor who initiates the 1099, not some middleman. E.g., a customer where the payee isn’t an incorporated entity.
I got away from online payment methods when selling my rental properties a decade ago. Also, ended all banking relations. Left a few accounts out there as bait with a dollar or two in them.
Alternative economy. Embrace it. Don’t take a poor old guy on Social Security’s word for it. It’s been around for centuries. It bubbles up occasionally; the wealthy, cartels, the mob, illegals, prohibition, on and on. Else, feel the noose slowly tightening around one’s neck while ‘playing by the rules’.
Actually no. It’s cumulative of $600 per YEAR.
More needs to be printed to describe the entire rule and instruction.
The word payment being key as in does this rule only involve payments “TO” the tax payer or payments in “BOTH” directions.
The discussion of 1099K’s sent in error implies it is only $600 “TO” the tax payer.
IRS Form 1099’s are already provided to IRS by financial institutions, which covers the vast majority of transactions by private individuals. The primary target of this rule is small businesses of all types,the self employed and on-line cash collecting entities such as charities or legal funds.
There is also a major hidden issue if “REFUNDS” and “REBATES” are not exempted.
UNCONSTITUTIONAL! They have no RIGHT to do this! Get the law suits out.
If the GOP had a spine, they’d repeal this attack on the middle class and restore it back to it’s previous amount of $22,000 per year.
🎵 If they only had a spine 🎶…or brain or heart or courage.
or integrity or honesty or character or just plain good faith, of which THEY HAVE NONE.
Wonder if any of them will report the bribes they receive?
They are soulless neanderthals
I’m humming with you…..
This ain’t Oz, Baby!
Any day now, however, I do expect to see the flying monkeys! 🐵 🐵🐵
We already have a government filled with RINOs and jack asses.
The GOPe now wants as much grift from taxpayer money as the DemonRATs. The GOPe used to get most of their grift from corporations via lobbyists but they are apparently into the kickback schemes via money laundering (example – FTX) as are the demonRATs.
In other words, the GOP’s spines were long ago bought and paid for by the globalists.
But But But…..McConnell went along with this…..
The cash angle works until caught just 1-time.
There is a corollary rule in place that can be used to wring the cash out of the recalcitrant. All this is needed is to muck with the rules regarding seizures of assets that are “suspected” of being part of criminal enterprises. Adjust the rules slightly and cash thresholds …. voila every cash transaction and collections of cash pools can technically come under scrutiny by the authorities.
Cover your tracks well … it potentially only takes a single discovery of a single unreported transaction to draw somebody’s attention.
That article is SO poorly written and is inaccurate. It is not “just one transaction over $600.” It is $600 cumulatively. If someone is selling widgets for five bucks each, online, and the total sales of those five buck items equal or exceed $600, that’s a 1099 form right there. Whatever company collects the payments will initiate the 1099.
What the article also failed to mention is — if one has an actual business — even if you’re the only employee – then paying into the social security system and Medicare are also required. I forget the percentages, but they were the same as if you employed 25 people.
I got this info from a CPA since calling the IRS line for clarification was a 30-minute wait (not to mention being disconnected twice…) So glad I don’t have a small business and was only selling personal stuff online to pick up extra $$.
The bad news I did sell over $600 so will get to pay taxes. Who keeps receipts for things you bought 20 years ago? Receipts are the only way to prove whether or not a profit was made. No receipts = 100% taxable profit.
Just another way to ^&$% the middle class.
My tax acct, HR Block, told me I do not need to claim money I received from the sale of personal property.
Correct
Believe exceptions for items such as used furniture, bikes, etc that you originally purchased.
Do you have ANY IDEA how many $cash$ transactions there are in the construction industry? I’d say the IRS is beaten out of $100B/year min. Esp. here in the overpriced SF Bay Area. EVERY construction project … has under the table payments … from laborers to top flight subcontractors.
You know they threatened to put the limit at $600 but, I think after a lot of complaints, raised it. Now it’s post-mid-terms so they’re turning the screws.
I personally don’t need to worry because I have no income other than what I earn from my one job. I would love it if a big bunch of Dem voters end up being adversely affected by this.
Yeah, well, unfortunately conservative voters will be impacted just as much as Dems.
Corporatocracy isnt a new concept or an evolution of the world’s political/business structure. All the Livery Companies/Trade Guilds came together during the middle-ages and pooled their resources.
Here are a few of their ventures:
British East India Company
Levant Company
Hudson Bay Company
Royal African Company of England
Muscovy Company
South Sea Company
When 16th and 17th century investors would actual participate in these global expeditions/enterprises it was called and “Adventure” and “Going on Plantation”
These mostly Royal Chartered businesses were “Joint Stock Companies” with investments from the Crown, meaning English Monarchy invested right along with the Aristocracy located in the City of London (Londinium 50A.D.)
Layers and layers of corporate structure conceal the true owners, but just like the British Crown they aren’t giving up anything without a fight. Fascinating topic to research. I dont think this social hierarchy was built on a Western Capitalist Economy, but more like Roman Empire.
I have always wondered who paid for those Medieval Castles and European Estates back then and even still today.
I’ve been wondering these days just how far back the plans to use China as a replacement unit goes. It is clear both Hitler’s Germany + Lenin’s Russia were built up by the cabal. Russia has been a focal point for a long time. But, so has China since the Opium War period.
East India Company traded for “all the Tea in China” but then Bank of England realized Chy-na had all the English Gold. Enter Opium from India and two Opium wars. China went to economic sleep (1899 Boxer Wars) and 13 years later America get the Federal Reserve
Their Patron Saint Kissinger wakes China back up in 1971 and now they want America to go to economic la-la land for 100 years or so
Their policy is to benefit them not you and me
I’ve read some on the Opium Wars + a little on the American Merchant Bankers who were involved but don’t remember details.
One wake up call for me was the history of the Opium Trade since 9/11: It mushroomed while the West had complete control of the skies + could control any piece of land for a time.
The only year the exports from the poppy fields crashed was — 2000 — when the Taliban outlawed it…
Excellent reference.
Why thank you sDee. Most of those companies in the OP live on today within the City of London (Treasure Island) and The Crown Corporation. Just because a Charter is dissolved doesn’t mean assets or owners change.
They were all Centralized and base their authority on a Papal Bull. They called these mergers “amalgamations.”
I started wondering about this after watching Rishi-Rich basically appointed as Prime Minister and then immediately bypassing Parliament and transferring billions into green projects outside the UK. I then read a bit about how King Charles 1 completely suspended Parliament and it all was well within the “law”. I wonder what else King Charles 3 has in store.
From the Magna Carta:
“The city of London shall enjoy all its ancient liberties and free customs, both by land and by water. We also will and grant that all other cities, boroughs, towns, and ports shall enjoy all their liberties and free customs.”
The City of London Corporation’s 1297 Magna Carta includes Edward I’s seal and the original writ directed to the Sheriffs of London, ordering that the Charter be promulgated within the City. The Charter was confirmed in Parliament, which gave the document statutory force.
Research the freemen of the city of London and how the are able to drive their sheep over London Bridge
thanks!
gsonFIT you are so right. Also, the government worked hand in glove with the corporatocracy.
For instance, the Molasses Act from 1733 was created to designed to create a commercial monopoly that forced colonists’ product purchases to be from Great Britain or British controlled colonies.1
Also followed up with Act for Encouragement of Officers Making Seizures with an Order of Council on June 1, 1763 to confiscate the ships of anyone not complying (smuggling items NOT from British controlled realms).2
This law was used against the patriots and led to the revolution.
1.“The Molasses Act and the Market Strategy of the British Sugar Planters,” The Journal of Economic History 17, no.1 (1957): 72
2.Acts of the Privy Council of England Colonial Series Vol. IV 1745-1766 (London: Wyman and Sons, 1911), 560
The best part about the history is that is is before Smith-Mundt so propaganda and censorship are easily avoidable. But when you do find a good source stick with them. There are many, but not many good ones.
Buckminster Fuller synopsis:

Good read.
We have to litigate , demonstrate, and straighten out Arizona’s illegal election. There can be no caving here— and the hell with the three “Mac” traitors: McConnell, McCarthy, and useless as tits on a 🐗 boar— McRona!
McRona = CoRona – a virus that infects the GOP
Would it help is Arizonans protested in Maricopa? If AZvoters have been disenfranchized….wouldn’t they want to protest?
I saw a video of one protest but it was so small, so few people..seems not enough to make a point.
If PDJT would ask us to peacefully protest there in AZ….a million or more would show up. IMO
Where are the citizens of Arizona?
“Where are the citizens of Arizona?”
Same place most anti-Communist protests have been since J6, at home. We saw a bit of a burp with the People’s Convoy but it was short lived and current state actions get little to no press. Unless one is already subscribed to known ad hoc outlets which publicize them, or one participates personally, they might as well not exist.
This is where the Communists were brilliant. They used the robust economy and cheap fuel to attack the Republic in 2020 and then created inflation and high costs to augment J6 fear tactics to quell any unrest from getting started. People are too busy trying to survive to protest.
They don’t want to be thrown in jail with no recourse like J6. They’re scared. TPTB successfully scared everybody except the demons who get away with murder.
Arizonan’s are protesting all weekend beginning yesterday according to Gateway Pundit article this past week.
Western Journal founder Floyd Brown speaking to Steve Bannon on Saturday:
“The truth is if we don’t control Arizona there is no pathway for any Republican, I don’t care if it’s DeSantis or Trump or any other possible candidate. Without Arizona there is no path to winning the next presidency.” (electoral college pathway)
Does anyone know if there is a general fund to donate to for lawyers and related costs to fight this? Anyone out there coordinating volunteers to help? Mark Finchem said we can go to his site to donate –I checked and there is an address for personal checks and a couple of ways to pay be credit card. Do we need to separately donate to each MAGA candidate? Is each candidate trying to do this on their own or are they coordinating? I heard Abe filed in the past week on his own.
Mark told Bannon’s War Room that they’re waiting for certification to happen before they can file in court. I’m concerned as my sense is our Arizona candidates have been abandoned to do it on a shoestring with a bare bones team –I’m not well informed, so maybe they have a team of hundreds of lawyers, but doubt it.
Anyone have any more info or any ideas of how we can help now in these next critical days? We cannot afford to lose the Arizona’s electoral votes for 2024 which we will lose if we let the Rinos/Dems retain their steal machine with Hobbs and the Rinos left in control leading into 2024.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/11/cant-let-steal-floyd-brown-dont-care-desantis-trump-without-arizona-no-path-winning-next-presidency-video/
Does anyone know if there is a general fund to donate to for lawyers and related costs to fight this? Yes, it’s called the RNC headed up by Ronna Romney McDaniel. They took the RNC money and left Arizona when she realized that AZ was not going to vote for her to head up the RNC again. RINOs are going to RINO…
I found some avenues for donating to this fight. See my reply to YO below.
They seem to be having trouble getting the word out for people to check whether their vote shows as being counted. Some people are reaching out to them saying their Election Day vote shows as not counted. But they really need to go to court with evidence of many thousands. So had a thought — what about sending a mass Text Alert to GOP voters in Arizona?
Wonder what the $ cost would be for a mass Text Alert? If they don’t have voters phone #’s then maybe the Save America Pac does? or add in the $ cost to purchase that info from a data broker. I know it would be costly, but maybe it could be crowd sourced quickly. May send Mark an email.
Does anyone have an address to send checks to Kari Lake for her legal fees and recount etc?
Thanks.

Thanks Sunrei.
I am not on Facebook or Twitter or any other social media site. Contact does not have a mailing address. If all else fails I will send $ to Finchem instead but it is not my preference.
Your ballot can be “counted,” but that doesn’t mean you actually “voted” for the person you wanted to vote for.
Thank you. I may just be dull-witted, but I have never understood why someone who “checks to see if their vote has been counted” believes the answer they receive from the people/machines who claim to have counted and properly attributed the vote.
That’s on the same level as believing everything a known liar says because they are “under oath”….both obama and biden swore to uphold the Constitution.
Not cynicism–in touch with reality.
Kari and Mark are begging people to check. They are getting notice from many republicans who voted on Election Day that their vote was not counted at all —-this info helps their case.
Why wouldn’t one want to check? A not-counted situation can be used to help their case. Why not do the one thing they are asking for GOP voters to do for them?
NOT just check; if you voted in the election, but the official site doesn’t SHOW you voted, you need to contact the Lake team, so you can file a sworn (notarised) deposition, affirming that you voted, including how, and get it to KL’s team.
This is the “admissable evidence” they need, to overcome the “Standing” issue; present to the Court, with ADMISSABLE EVIDENCE, enough ‘disenfranchised’ votes to change the outcome.
If the final “certified” tally shows Hobbs winning by day,..5000 votes, the KL team need to show at least 5001 KL voters that A) swear they voted, but official site records no vote for them B) got the run-around on election day, with the ‘broken’ machines, and so were unable to vote for KL, BM, etc.
THAT is the roadblock of “Standing” they have to overcome, and they need EVERY vote not counted, since we still don’t know the final officially bogus tally, which they are postponing as long as possible.
Thanks Dutchman, this is what I was trying to say. Kari needs this info for Standing w the court.
I didn’t suggest not doing it. I questioned why the person who does do it is believes the information they receive. Does the whole sorry mess with the Dominion machines and their programming teach us nothing?
Until the 2020 election (at the latest), no one felt the need to “check to be sure their vote was counted” (generally speaking). It never occurred to us that there was any question either about our vote being properly taken in or properly counted.
Everyone can vote and check-their-vote as much as they want. In no way does that elevate the trustworthiness of those who are managing the machines and running the election process.
The only info that matters right now is if someone’s vote status says they haven’t voted when in fact they did vote. See Dutchman’s explanation above, maybe his explanation is clearer. It is needed for Standing with the court.
Go to karilake.com to donate $ to fund the legal challenge to the Az. election.
KL,BM,AH and MF filed election related lawsuit, months before the election even started, my point being of coarse theirvis close co-ordination.
The four campaigned as a TEAM, and they are fighting the steal, as a TEAM.
And yes, they could use some $, and yes the RNC abandoned them, and the McS funded their opponents as the RNC, GOPe “leaders” are the avowed enemy of MAGA.
And thank you, in advance for your donation!
She needs to be shown the Exit…as does Harmeet Dillon with her “we have our top attorneys in Arizona”…who ended up collecting a lot of fees for nada…
Mark Finchem (secy of state candidate) was on Bannon’s War Room. They cannot file court papers until certification happens, which they expect to happen Monday. Before certification there is not yet legal harm to contest –just the way the judicial system works.
Any interest in actively helping? Your help may make the difference. This is a grassroots effort. No one is coming to save us but us. There’s some major legal actions teeing up as soon as certification happens. Donations. Volunteers. Maybe reach out on Kari or Mark or Abe’s facebook, twitter accounts or their websites to see what they need?
It seems kind of wrong to wait for the certification. I would think prohibiting the certification from taking place is what should happen.
Once it’s certified then can’t the corrupt courts say “see ya” no standing or some other lame twist on the law by the complicit judges, and the certification is in place already, no recourse after that.
Guess they know what they have to do, but geez we always get the worst end of legal advice and actions it seems. I pray they get it right this time.
According the Mark Finchem (on Bannon’s War Room) , you need to show you’ve been injured for a Court to hear a case. Prior to certification they cannot show that. No point in filing to have it immediately booted out because they filed ahead of certification. At least that’s my understanding.
I know that Abe and I believe Kari too already filed separate lawsuits earlier, but this next legal action depends on certification first.
number6,
Have you ALWAYS talked out your posterior, or is this a novel experience for you?
Dhillon’s time was donated. Don’t know about the other attorneys.
About Twitter and Elon Musk, has anyone thought that the people he has left are the ones that actually had run the business and might just be a bit more conservative in political thought?
Just something I have been thinking about.
What makes you think so?
The types of people you might be thinking of are contributing to open-source software projects. I’d hardly call them conservative, but they fundamentally understand how BigTech colludes globally with government to limit free market competition and to control people, markets, and propaganda. Many even work in BigTech.
I am now a like broken record waiting to see if Musk moves key Twitter software components to open source, and champions an open standard to allow exchange of messages between social media platforms.
A small step he could take is to put the Twitter app into open source.
You mean guys like the FBI Comey Lawyer who ran one of the Trump scams :Jim Baker .
Still VP and general Council at Twitter (along with numerous cronies).
Did not get fired when Musk took over. People need to stop lining themselves up for the next Charlie Brown football by believing things they read in the media and take them at face value.
The media run negative planted pieces in order to cement your view of the person as being on your side. Its often fake to create your gatekeepers and influencers.
Yes I question everything now……can you believe the diesel shortage doom predictions? The Railroad strike …..better get it now…..predictions?

Uncounted Votes on “Lost” Memory Card Flips Election Result in Georgia
25 Nov 2022
I am old enough to remember when one had to look in trunks of cars to find uncounted votes
Bush v. Gore. Franken.
DeSantis v. Gillum 2018..
I had no idea.
Gregoire v. Rossi – WA governor’s race.
Except it wasn’t trunks of cars. I believe the extra ballots were found on the side of a road? Sigh.
Democrat’s vote fraud has gone high tech! No need for no stinking paper ballots anymore!
Bubby,
You mean BALLOT fraud, which is only one part of ELECTION fraud, definedxas manipulating the results of elections.
FIRST, FOUNDATIONAL step is insuring that whichever candidate “wins” they are “Your candidate” i.e. the Uniparty strategy.
This also insures that there is no party seriously wanting to insure transparent, fair elections, as both wings of the Uniparty want to control election outcomes, to insure the Uniparty effete elites, regardless of whether they are R or D, remain in control.
Like I said – watch for the Elites to point to the East as the solution to the world’s ills:
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/mask-wefs-klaus-schwab-declares-china-role-model
IMO today’s China was built as the globalists’ and bankers’ model of utopia. A totalitarian political class. a highly educated professional class granted limited freedoms, and a slave class.
They see it as the replacement for American might, without having to deal with us deplorables and our notions of a constitution and unalienable rights.
All they needed was to move American IP and technology to China. Now they need to take Americans down a notch or two.
You’re putting out garbage
In the last 75 years the US has been a far greater aggressor than China
list the wars each country has started side by side and decide for yourself
Hey Johnny Dumbell, China has been cleaning our clock for decades, with help from the likes of Bill Clinton and Hunter/Joe Biden. They don’t need to start any war with us.
I saw a video on YT yesterday, PDJT was on the Letterman show several times in 86-87 and he was talking about China and Japan cleaning our clocks even back then.
China has almost 20% of the world’s population. I guess they don’t count.
I guess you also missed Beijing buying aircraft carriers + getting closer to authoritarian oligarchies in Africa.
….Not having the ability to wage war in far away lands is not a sign of a good heart……
“….our [US] notions of a constitution and unalienable rights.”
Someday, it will occurr to you and lots of others that not everyone in the world wants to live by our Consttution and notions of unalienable rights. And that we, the US, cannot, by force, cram those concepts down the throats of the people who feel that way. Which is what we’ve been trying to do for at least 75 years and which is called arrogance.
Name some countries where the people love not having unalienable rights.
I’ve lived in 7 – a majority were oppressive to their own people +/or immigrants. I’d like to know if they made your list of masses who love not having rights.
You need to update your mantras.
Yeah, he wants us all to be like China. Check this one out for size at the iPhone factory in China.

Sobering tale to park cash in hard, defensible assets and take no prisoners when defending those assets. Uniforms don’t matter to me. If they work for the Communists they are the enemy. The results will be what they are.
We’re never going to win by rolling over or enriching lawyers. They just feed the Communists, or work for them. ‘Pro bono’ or not. This will go on forever. Expect it.
That’s not an outlandish claim, rather a reflection on decades of similar behavior by law enforcement and the legal system and the historical results of it. What has changed for the better? Nothing. It’s only gotten worse.
Check out the journey of the anonymous safety deposit box holders at a Beverly Hills box facility. Sobering. That was the fan belt inspectors. America.
Said dog alerted to drugs on cash. I have read that pretty much every bill has drug residue obtained in its travels. Especially probably the 100s which I’m sure he had many of.
Civil forfeiture is a tavesty, just do a search, to read up on it, especially if you are, or are considering going “all cash” as some reccomend.
Bottom line, DO NOT let ANT LE officer SEE that you have a “wad of cash”, for instance when getting out your drivers licence at a traffic stop.
IF you educate yourself about what CF IS, and how it works, you CAN still go “cash only” if you take such precautions.

The government simply wants British people homeless. Elsewhere today the Guardian carries a piece on how more homeless people than usual are dying on the streets.
Lets just run the basics here:
*We have a chronic shortage of housing, rents are bleeding people dry.
*More people are homeless, and dying in the cold.
*The Tory government are presiding over the highest levels of immigration there has ever been into this country, a million a year!
There comes a point when you have to stop thinking they’re incompetent, or even just indifferent, instead you have to accept it is premeditated and has malicious intent.

It’s to clamp down on any challenge to their authority. They could care less about child abuse or terrorism
UK’s media regulator Ofcom will get more surveillance powers than spy agencies under the Online Safety Bill, according to a legal analysis by the Index on Censorship organization.
The legislation would allow Ofcom to force tech companies to clamp down on “child abuse” and “terrorist content” by ending end-to-end encrypted messaging platforms like WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, and Facebook Messenger and force all communications to be scanned.

We keep chasing technology down the rabbit hole.
As I’m sure many of you do, I run an “Adblocker” (amongst other things) to stop those pesky pop-up windows from pushing crap at me that I’m not interested in.
Many corporate websites now block me if they detect that I’m running an adblocker so in effect saying “If you don’t submit to viewing any and all advertising that we push at you, you aren’t allowed to view our products or shop in our store”
This is tantamount to a security guard standing outside a Walmart preventing people from entering if they haven’t read the weekly four page advertising promotion.
Each week, another business goes on my ‘I don’t shop there anymore’ list because of this.
Not all business sales figures are due to the economy, some are due to their underhanded business practices and until enough people start giving them feedback (I do), they will keep pulling us further down the hole.

Watching SB/Warroom this morning and I’m sitting here thinking WTF was PDJT thinking taking this lunch with Kanye? SB is correct, where was the President’s staff in this process? We’re these guests not screened? Again, people around PDJT are not protecting him. Or is he letting his guard down? I’ve always stood by PDJT and will continue to do so, but he and/or his staff needs to get their siht together.
Sounds like you are buying into their narrative.
Might be. What’s your narrative?
I don’t have one.
I just follow the logic, President Trump is not racist. He is not White Supremacist.
Didn’t say he was. Question is how can Kanye arrive for lunch with unannounced guests? Logic tells me staff not on the ball. SS neither.
I read what Trump said about it and he confirms unknown people came with Ye and they were let in. He has no idea who they were. I read a somewhat murky statement saying they were at a different table. But how did they get in at all? So, if I show up for “lunch” will I be let in?

This past week, Kanye West called me to have dinner at Mar-a-Lago. Shortly thereafter, he unexpectedly showed up with three of his friends, whom I knew nothing about. We had dinner on Tuesday evening with many members present on the back patio. The dinner was quick and uneventful. They then left for the airport.

That sounds like normal for PDJT. Little doubt USSS checked all guests, as did PDJT’s private security team, for exigent threats. Can’t control or read people’s thoughts.
The mind boggles at how many types of people PDJT has interacted with around the planet. Didn’t they make a deal out of some purported Russian chick peeing on him once? IDK, it all runs together. Propaganda will do that. It’s a blitzkrieg these days.
IMO, stay focused on the mission. The Commies need to go. All this other stuff is noise.
He didn’t “accuse West” , he just said that he didn’t know them.
I agree with you; I thought what is he thinking? How do three unknown people get in to see him? Did the SS check them out? Nuts. One of them could have been there to assassinate him; Ye is nuts and thinks he could be President so why not take out Trump ? Such poor judgement on Trump’s part or his staff…nuts.
President Trump, like every other celebrity, has been pictured throughout the years with all sorts of people sidling up to him. I don’t believe in guilt by association, especially when it comes to one-time, random photo ops at large events.
This is just more msm posturing to ‘look squirrel’ us away from the true traitors and degenerates in the swamps of DC. But I agree that it could be a wake-up call to better screen those who could pose a real threat to our President.
The SS is involved in SECURITY threats, they are NOT focused on “image”; if this alleged rascist or whatever hadn’t done anything to trigger alarms, AS A SECURITY THREAT, they would screen him and let him through.
As for the STAFF, ‘Ye” SHOULD have provided names and Social Security #’s, IN ADVANCE for anyone he was bringing.
Its standard protecol, and “Ye” would have known that, as he has visited PDJT before.
I am really starting to think “Ye” is being used, like DeSantis, etc. as a weopon to attack PDJT.
Don’t LIKE him, don’t TRUST him, at all.
Replying here generally, not to anyone specifically.
I’m tired of playing by the Left’s rules –I don’t accept their premise. Who I or PDJT or anyone has dinner with is not a reflection on PDJT’s or mine or anyone’s personal beliefs or views.
First the Left censors us. Now they’re going to play the racist card anytime we interact with anyone they designate as a bad person? No. nope. I’m not playing the Left’s game.
I don’t know or care who Fuentes is, doesn’t matter to me. As a free people, we can speak, move, associate freely.
Moreover, I respect those interested in interacting with a wide range of people –rather than the Left’s tendency to censor and blacklist.
Why do we keep falling for it? I hope our side can stop taking the bait and not always immediately accept the Left’s premise.
If President Trump was an active poster here, at The Treehouse, how long would it take for the MSM to report that President Trump was on a site with a “Gunrunner03”? Can you see the irony in your comment?
Apples and oranges. Gee, what if we were on the same plane together. Or bus. Or I attended one of his events. Fact is, the lunch occurred. And it was an unforced error. His staff has to do a better job of screening who he meets with, especially for lunch at his residence.

This site documents all Tesla fires – https://www.tesla-fire.com
Looks like about one per month.
Because of this – I would not want to own an Electric Vehicle.
EV Battery Bus fires are terrifying. I can’t imagine how they would be able to get everyone off in time.
I use battery tools for yard work – mower, trimmer/edger and blower – but I handle the batteries with kid gloves – store and charge them indoors. I don’t believe they would be safe in a non-climate controlled garage or shed.
My other concern about battery tools and vehicles – as well as wind and solar – is pollution – as well as China’s use of child slave labor to mine the components for these batteries.
Of course, most of China’s products are produced without humane ethics and the cheapest possible near slave labor.
Talked with a parts manager at a local dealership, and he told me that the EVs are extremely dangerous to work on due to the amps and high voltage those lithium batteries put out.
Little different from working on material handling equipment which has been using similar amperage, or more, for decades, and now running high voltage inverters, variable frequency drives and 3 phase power units for the locomotion and hydraulic functions.
That ‘danger’ has been around since long before I was born and I worked in the midst of it for decades.
Lithium is different from other schemes because of its reactivity and self-sustaining fire potential. Still, it can be used safely, and has. The aircraft industry went through similar teething issues years ago with such power sources and figured out how to manage them. Vehicles will too.
I’m still against it as replacement for ICE though. It’s a healthy supplement.
Even if they never burned, I wouldn’t drive or own one.
I don’t drive much any more but I sure won’t let an electric car’s inefficiency determine where or when I can drive.

Nancy Spector’s kill shot at Trump
Around the same time, political concerns were getting louder at the Guggenheim. According to several sources, in late 2016, some staff members expressed frustration that the museum was not doing more to signal its opposition to Trump. Then Nancy Spector, as the chief curator, had a chance to join the #resistance. In 2017, the White House got in touch to request the loan of a van Gogh. Spector instead offered an artwork by Maurizio Cattelan called America—a solid-gold toilet. Liberals on Twitter loved the insult. “You spend your life hoping one day you’ll get the chance to respond to an unreasonable request in a manner worthy of Oscar Wilde,” tweeted a Georgetown Law professor named Aderson B. Francois. “For this one Guggenheim curator, that moment came last September and, as the kids say, she didn’t throw away her shot.”

That was my first thought. Karma eventually comes back to bite all the useful idiots.
Judith: Indeed. What’s the problem? All these hyper-politicized “look at me” people deserve each other.
The 2024 electoral objections to Donald Trump are considerable.
While he has the ability to turn out his MAGA base, he also turns out blue anons. But worrying about the Left’s motivated voters is shortsighted.
The ability of the Democrat ruling class machine to turn out their voters is a given no matter who the nominee, take Fetterman as your example, is. The simple fact is Democrats do not focus on turnout; they focus on harvesting ballots.
Legal or not, it is genius, and the practice all but guarantees Democrat victories in swing states: PA, MI, AZ, WI, NV, and GA.
Marc Elias and the Democrat voting machine have figured out a way not only to engage in specific campaigns but also to rig the Electoral College to a predetermined outcome.
Regardless, two questions remain: Does Trump have plans to deal with the election integrity problems and assuming he does, will he campaign for 2024 in the new mail/harvest reality?
If he doesn’t, he will lose.
The proof of my claim is what we saw with Arizona, same-day voters. They are easily disenfranchised by “malfunctioning” machines.
All of this is to say, Trump and MAGA cannot run the 2016 playbook—and I suspect both Stephen Miller and Donald Trump know it.
Republicans and Independents need more than a revenge candidacy.
While the control of the vote must be wrested from the Marc Elias/George Soros funded election machines, failure to do so means no GOP candidate can win. Only Trump offers a path forward.
“… they focus on harvesting ballots. Legal or not, it is genius, and the practice all but guarantees Democrat victories in swing states:”
Something tells me they first laid the groundwork with legal precedent that will stand up in lower courts and be very complex and expensive to unravel in upper courts. e.g. register people to vote who they know will not vote or don’t even know they are registered to vote (motor-voter, welfare-voter).
With everyone’s minds now numb to judicial activism and court rulings. the corruption has to be exposed in the public forum in such a way that it offends what little conscience is left in America (like, deep throat and Nixon’s missing audio). That base has been covered too as the media is complete propaganda (even Fox will not touch it).
What’s left? A House investigation? Whatever Trump has in mind, we are sure not to know until it happens.
UNiparty usually wins because they have their own horses lined up at every single starting gate. Can a globalist ever really ‘lose’ in a contest between a Clinton or a Bush, or a McStain vs an Obama?
Imagine if MAGA were able to back *all* the horses in the race, as well? We seem to be blinded to one whole side of the UNiparty scam, and I can’t figure out why we can’t come up with some DINOs, starting in those key state contests.
Let them cheat, add and remove ballots and install back-door voting machine algorithms, only to find out that all the candidates were MAGA to begin with.
I’m beginning to think you’re right on where our focus needs to be. We need to expose this in a public forum, to pierce the stranglehold the media, social media have on information.
Judges seem to follow shifting public opinion (ex mandates). How is the question. A small political party in NY stopped an election change by the Dems in its tracks with a showstring budget –they created a very effective radio ad and used pinpoint targeting of where to air it for greatest advantage. We are short on money, but there have to be ways to end run the blockade by media.
All I know is this: If the GOPe continues to adopt the Left’s false anti-Trump narrative, locks him out of the nomination and inserts some hack in ‘24, I’m staying home for the first time in my life and won’t go back because there will be nothing to go back to.
Trump beat them before. He will beat them again. This round millions more eyes have opened to the GOPe.
Clivus: “If…?”
I believe the correct word is When.
The RINOs in Republican states changed their election laws to favor Democrats via mail-in ballots and extended voting time.
Save your mail-in ballot and drop it off the day of the election at another polling place, then go vote in person just to make sure. The professionals at your County Clerk’s Office will ensure that your vote is not counted twice.
If ballot drop boxes favored Republicans, Democrats would tie them to their pickup trucks, and drag them down the street, or set them on fire.
MAGA can learn from the Communists and improve on their methods instead of clinging furtively to the high road of righteousness. Turn it into a street fight. We can watch what’s going on in Brazil while we work it out.
Libs vote differently than conservatives. Libs vote for Democrats, or very occasionally 3rd party. In the case of Fetterman, it was clearly Fetterman vs. Oz and the libs voted for Fetterman. But on the conservative side we had picky myopic voters who didn’t like Oz so didn’t vote for him, hence we lost that race and a very important Senate seat.
We need to first address the stupid voting on our side. Myopic voters need to stop giving up precious seats and majorities. Dems don’t even have to cheat when our side votes stupidly.
Fetterman-Oz isn’t the only example btw. The debacle over the House seat in Alaska is another example. Idiots gave that seat to a Dem even though Palin had an easy victory in the primary.

In the event you did not know this, Bitcoin ATM fees run in the 10% to 30% range.
It is not just an ATM fee, it is also a currency conversion fee. Bitcoin ATMs are mostly a novelty. I certainly would not use one unless I had to.

The second DeSantis gets the nomination – were that to happen – they will turn all their guns on him or whomever the GOP candidate might be.
BUT DeSantis is just bait for the Republican base, he’s being led down the primrose path to make way for Pompeo. . . . watch for it.
A very interesting comment and a more so follow-up.
Good observation.
Clivus, I trust your instincts as well.
I just happened to be looking at a book website this morning… I saw new books from Pompeo, Pence, and Tom Cotton. I expect all three to be on the primary stage.
Nimrata Haley is watching and waiting to see how the deck chairs get stacked. I’m guessing she’ll pretend to be a “reluctant” candidate while it’s been obvious to everyone here that she’s been waiting patiently for her turn.
Still, Pompeo is that perfectly slimey candidate that the 4th branch would love to have “steering” the ship (or maybe I should say playing the part of Captain). It’s considered a Trump appointment in the record book but… Senate approval. If McConnell approved him, he must suck.
Mad Mike: I agree. The RNC only allows the plebes to see what the RNC wants the plebes to see. The whole show is scripted and all the actors are playing their assigened (or permitted) roles.
I believe you’re right except for the timing. Once the Special Counsel takes out President Trump Governor DeSantis will declare he’s running for President the very next day is when the Democrat’s Kavanaugh/Herschel Walker treatment of DeSantis will begin! My guess is they have several women from his past already lined up and fully paid to bring sexual assault and harassment charges!
Clivus: I also believe that DeSantis is just a shiny object and the RNC has other plans.
Oh, they will be. They just have to get rid of Trump first.
As stated, the Uniparty dorsn’t care whether itsUniparty-D, or Uniparty-R that “wins” either way THEY win.
They KNOW the MAGA Coaltion are royally pissed off, and with the Bidenistas in charge, they have made a LOT of progress in forwarding their agenda.
Hence, I think they may be considering ‘giving us a win’ by having RDS win in 2024.
And, the Dem wing has nobody to run, except Newsome, who will be the Romney, designated loser, this time around.
And, THEY will co-opt election integrity issue, as they ignore/Suppress stops working for them, and Republicans in Congress will lead an effort to Federalise elections, to “restore faith” in our elections.
And then the Republicans will champion legislation for “Comprehensive Immigration reform” with hispanic deSantis signing it.
Thats their PLAN, for undermining the MAGA movement.

This disgrace to mankind has done his best to control and/or destroy human life based on HIS evilness because he truly
believes he has the power to now barter with OUR souls…
so no ‘IF ONLY’ … Burning in the depths of Hell – for Eternity – is all he has waiting for him once he leaves this Earth.
It is a delicious thought of that nasty wrinkle crying,
“ I own nuh sing
and I am so unhhhaypee”.
I wish we knew who’s actually holding his leash. Central Bankers? China? Others?
I apologize as I’m terrible with names but the Treeper who suggested that the WEF is a Chinese mechanism made a lot of sense (a post in comments from the last couple of days).
The Allies killed millions to create the scenario where Hitler would off himself. It worked. However, they missed the shadow government.
Looking through the lens of Allied corruption over the ensuing decades, they probably missed on purpose.
Knowing who’s holding the leash is a far different kettle of fish than sending them to God. Lots of soldiers in between.
In any case, the future holds a lake of fire for monsters like Slob. 🔥

Will it matter?
What is Causing the Blood Clots from “Died Suddenly?”
“I have always been drawn to understanding pharmaceutical injuries, and for years I’ve participated in support groups for a variety of different toxic pharmaceuticals (e.g. Lupron or Ciprofloxacin and other fluoroquinolones). In addition to being able to witness the human costs of these drugs firsthand (and the gaslighting those forgotten patients experience), this exploration has given me a great deal of perspective on the shared and differing toxicities these drugs share along with what methods can help the myriad of seemingly unrelated symptoms that emerge.
Once the COVID-19 vaccine rollout started, my focus understandably shifted toward them. Although many of the pathologies I saw resembled what I had seen with other toxic drugs (and to some degree responded to the same therapies), there was also a lot I had not seen before, which demonstrated these vaccines were in a different league of toxicity from what I was used to. I have thus spent the last two years trying to understand exactly how these vaccines kill and injure people.”

This is why biologics are effective killers. It can all be explained away and, bonus, it ties people like
this fine gentleman up for years trying to get to the bottom of it, where they could be curing cancer
or something equally ground-breaking.
Look at what one biologic and the weapons surrounding it have done to the world. Sobering.
In the last 100 years, anyone attempting to create a new auto company and brand has met with disaster, but Musk apparently experienced not a hiccup with the Tesla that is suddenly a world favorite. This would have required perhaps ten years of planning and design, the planning of factories and production, the creation of supply lines, the testing and certification, and so much more, but with Tesla this apparently all occurred overnight in a vacuum. Are we to believe Elon Musk designed the Tesla? There is no evidence Musk has the ability to design even a dipstick, much less an entire car, so how did all this occur and what was the source of the background billions required to bring this project to fruition? Musk played no part in the creation of the Tesla. He just somehow showed up at the end, “owning” the company.
Similarly, the aggressive program of communication satellites that “Elon Musk” has launched; this as well would require many years of planning and design, to say nothing of arranging the launch facilities and obtaining the necessary thousands of paying customers. This again would require years and billions of dollars in financing but, like Bezos’ space flight program, this one suddenly appeared in full bloom, operating, launched, and ready to go. Who did the planning for this? It certainly wasn’t Musk, so who was behind it? And the money for all this came from where? “Musk’s” Tesla has never made a profit, so where would he obtain the billions for a pie-in-the-sky system of tens of thousands of communications satellites? Nothing like this can happen without a decade or more of intensive planning and an enormous investment, and obviously none of that came from Musk.
These would be enough challenge for any man, but then we had “Elon Musk” buying Twitter for $44 billion. How would that happen? We are told that Musk suddenly has wealth of – vaguely – $200 billion, with no detail, but presumably from stock holdings in “his” Tesla. But are we to assume that Musk has an extra $44 billion in loose cash sitting in the bank to purchase Twitter? That’s not possible, and Musk isn’t selling half his interest in Tesla shares to finance it, so what is the source of the money? The media confuse this by providing only a few sound bytes but no detail, and thus we have thoughts loosely in our minds that Musk is very wealthy and could somehow afford to purchase Twitter, but all we need to do is think to realise that is impossible.
lf you take the time to read Musk’s high-school level treatise on hyperloop transportation
or listen to his media blurbs, it’s obvious the man hasn’t the intelligence to have attained his position independently. It’s not apparent, at least not to me, that he knows anything about anything, and I would say the same for Zuckerberg and the Google twins. These people are merely fronts for someone who really does have all the money. And the plans. But we are supposed to believe that Elon “focus-on-my-cute-8-year-old-smile-and-my-adorable-3-year-old-sideways-looking-eyes-so-you-don’t-realise-how-stupid-I-am” Musk, is suddenly The Richest Man in The World from designing cars and satellites and space ships and heaven only knows what all. What rubbish.
Rubbish? Hardly…life is a marathon, not a sprint. Who cares about his intelligence in High School. You sound jealous and petty.
I admire his guts and tenacity…go Capitalism!
Ted,
All valid points, and just above your serirs of posts, questioning Musks origin, is someone questioning WHO is behind Klause schwab.
His origins are equally ‘murky’ an engineer, he was hired by the U.N. back in the 70’s IIRC, to prepare some reports for the U.N.
And he has enough credibility and $, a few yrars later, to begin having all of the Worlds “movers and shakers” accept his invitation to these confabs in switzerland.
I am not yet convinced that CCP is behind $chwab, and $0r0$, but SOMEBODY IS, and they have expended SOME effort, to keep us from seeing the hidden hand.
and yes I know ultimately it is SATAN, I am referring to a Worldly entity.
Agree with Ted. Murky background on Musk. He’s an oversexed, over marketed US intel creation and very few see this. No way in hell ONE GUY can own so many diverse government subsidized businesses, all of which are not necessarily in the public’s interest, but are definitely in the government’s interest.
Musk looks more like a front man for actual businesses the government seeds and possibly OWNS because technically the government isn’t supposed to own any businesses. Electric unmanned cars, spy satellites, space rockets, implantable brain chips, and god knows what else.
This is a realistic write up of who Musk really is.
http://mileswmathis.com/musk.pdf
You’re asking the right questions Ted.
While I want to like Elon Musk and trust his motives, something is holding me back.
Your posts on Tesla and SpaceX/Starlink give me something new to ponder, but I have to admit that I’ve had trouble reconciling the Twitter purchase.
As Sundance has speculated, if Twitter has been used as we know it has been used, underpinned by some magnificent technological secret sauce, would it be allowed to fall into the hands of unfriendlies?
Thanks for making me think about all this and more…
Mad Mike: Give yourself a break. You don’t need to like, or not like, Elon Musk. That “something” that is holding you back is your gut instinct, which is there to protect you. Trust your gut. It’s telling you not to commit.
Musk voted for Biden that is all I need to know.
Public private partnership.
He did sell a ton of Tesla stock, he also had investors (already with Twitter) and capital loans.
I’m with you on this Ted.
He is a figure head, and obviously quite savvy at it. But, there is no way in he11 he ever could have amassed decades of intellectual property, highly advanced technology, system engineering, raw capital, manufacturing facilities, market access, regulatory waivers, txs breaks and real estate needed to pull this all off.
Someone or something is behind it all but, to what end?
Defense Policy Review Board and the Jasons is the quick answer on funding and logistics. The funds were ours, through the black budget. Henry Kissinger was the bridge.
President Trump cleaned out the DPRB about a month before he left office. The white hats he put in were quickly removed by the current regime.
I have not checked to see whether Kissinger got his sinecure back.
But again, it didn’t suddenly appear. He had a dream, he made it happen. He hired people with expertise he himself does not have.
How do you know Musk didn’t do the planning? I mean, why are you trying to rewrite the history of his accomplishments like this?
He is a genius with grand ideas and ultimately he will go to Mars.
You might not like him, think he is a bit crazy… but he is in the same category as past inventors. All the most brilliant people in history were originally mocked and scorned.
Personally, I think Elon Musk is one of the most amazing geniuses of our generation.
Some people believe everything the media tells them. Bill Gates was the same wunderkind the press raged about back in the day. The guy is a horrible public speaker and can barely put two words together to form a sentence.
Musk is another annoited one that gives a me a bunch of skepticism
The higher they prop them up
The bigger the fraud they are
No doubt.
Dead kid syndrome too.
But is Don Trump Jr. now skinwalking Musk, just doing a tweets tone analysis? Really seems to be the case.
Time will tell.
FWIW, Key Takeaways. Tesla Motors was founded as an electric carmaker by engineers Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning in 2003.
Elon Musk, co-founder of Paypal, led the initial rounds of investing for Tesla before taking over as CEO.
In 2008, Tesla released its first electric car, the Roadster.

Yup. On the brink of Musk having screwed them over and letting his ego run it completely into bankruptcy, the original founder went behind his back to Congress and convinced them to bail Tesla out.
A star was born.
Tesla did not get off to a great start, it also was not a car company but a tech company. He was ridiculed. By sheer hard work and will power, he got that first car built (and it didn’t happen over night). It took quite a long time before he was actually acknowledged as a contender.
This comes from my memory of seeing him on/in the news etc.
Solution for high crime and mass shooting.

“Shame of a Nation” (Sun 11p ET on @NEWSMAX
or watch live on
http://Newsmaxtv.com)
From a New York Times piece today:
Artillery Is Breaking in Ukraine. It’s Becoming a Problem for the Pentagon.
A third of the roughly 350 Western-made howitzers donated to Kyiv are out of action at any given time, according to U.S. defense officials and others familiar with Ukraine’s defense needs.
Swapping out a howitzer’s barrel, which can be 20 feet long and weigh thousands of pounds, is beyond the capability of soldiers in the field and has become a priority for the Pentagon’s European Command, which has set up a repair facility in Poland.
A barrel change would typically be done in the field by the maintenance platoon at the battalion level. As the wise men of NATO have not trained any Ukrainians to do that they have to ship the guns 1,000 kilometer back and forward even for minor repair issues.
Also – The guns are crap:
In 2017, a Marine artillery battery from Camp Lejeune deployed to Syria with four M777 guns and fired more than 23,000 rounds of 155-millimeter ammunition in five months of supporting combat operations in Raqqa — nearly 55 times what a typical battery of that size would normally fire in a year of peacetime training.
As a result, three of the battery’s howitzers had to be removed because of excessive wear over the course of that deployment and were replaced with guns held in reserve in Kuwait.
When one of the howitzers went down, the others simply fired more, an option the Ukrainians are forced to choose daily.
When Smedley Met Soros:
Major General Smedley Butler, USMC, 1933
Rest in the Vine: Ukrainian Rhapsody: To the D.C. War-Mongers, America is the Foreign Country
I bet an examination of the metallurgy compared to what we pumped out in WW2 would be quite revealing and
many weren’t made by dedicated military contractors, rather by workers who built refrigerators and cars.
New York Times- seriously? Yes guns break. Check a peace-time Army OR rate. Ask the RUssians if life was easier before or after Western guns showed up. Centralized repair in a safe area is not ideal but has some real advantages. “The guns are crap” is nonsense- compared to what? As the only deep battle asset available to the UA they have delivered significant results. By NYT math 230 are still blowing up Russians. This is a “sky is falling” story. Is it an issue-sure. Is EUCOM addressing the issue? Yes , in a way no other nation on earth could- there is your story…
Seems the only thing Ukraine is hitting are schools, hospitals and civilian residents. They even hit a veteran facility couple of days ago. No military personnel or facilities around what they hit…
Must be some serious defects …..
The F-35 is crap and is in the repair shop 50% of the time, Patriot missiles are crap, US tanks are too heavy and can’t perform in the mud like the lighter Russian tanks can. We pay a lot of money to make sure this crap works and doesn’t break down so quickly. The US has already sent more money to Ukraine in 2022 than what the entire Russian military budget is in ONE year.
https://t.me/IntelRepublic/9296
Here’s the NYT article. It is true that the US has set up equipment repair stations in Poland to handle the breakage.

I’m sure it had nothing to do with the jab and everything do do with typical age related issues for a 43 year old man. But what do I know – I’m just a “F*cking moron who doesn’t know sh*t from clay”.
Well, constantly hurling expletives would give anyone health issues. Cortisol overload. Presuming it wasn’t theater.
The vaccination may have helped, sure. In any event, out of action is out of action. Good.
Sweet irony.
Let me get this straight, a black guy, a gay guy and a guy names Fuentes went to visit Trump at his resort, so now that makes Trump a white supremacist bigot?
I am so confused.
Just quit thinking and it will all make sense 🙂
Why is no one paying attention to the railroad strike looming?
They will get what they want. It was prearranged in return for their support in the pillaging of the working middle class.
What are you talking about? The threat has been reported on for the past two weeks. Butt-head transportation secretary said its probability of happening is high.
The only person not talking about it is Biden who is more focused on banning assault weapons.
I’m just wondering why Sundance hasn’t said much.
He indirectly addressed it via his article yesterday about the Citizen’s United case and its impact on union and corporate donations to political campaigns.
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2022/11/25/important-discussion-lets-talk-about-2010-citizens-united-supreme-court-decision-with-a-decade-of-hindsight/
I think he was addressing the disproportionate influence labor unions and now also multinational (globalist) corporations have on not just government policy but also WHO GETS ELECTED in order to propose and carry out pro-globalist policies.
The rail strike is – indirectly – another labor union threat against government policies.
Why?…Because Slo-Joe is “directly” involved. So smart, so on top of his game. The nations confidence is with this dealmaker.
He’ll cut an incredible deal that will benefit the “World”. s
If the diesel fuel shortage gets any worse, the railroads will be an afterthought.
no diesel shortage until the globalists want a diesel shortage
No supply chain shortage until the globalists want a supply chain shortage.
I am seeing diesel nearly $3 over the price of regular gas. It is far cheaper now for me to tow with my gas truck.
Lower gas prices to calm the herd, raise diesel to take our jobs and extract our wealth.
if it happen …2 or 3 days and then it’s over. we write the check.
Thanks for bringing it up. Best case, workers ignore the union theater and go out anyway and ignore Brandon’s
back to work order. Then we hit infrastructure hard. Winter is revenge best served cold. The Nazis found it out
in Soviet Russia. Heh.
Post links if you’ve got ’em, Lara.
We can’t expect SD to do *everything* for us, right?
I mean, there’s a LOT going on right now.

INSIDERS: Kevin McCarthy Does Not Have the Votes for House Speaker

INSIDERS: Kevin McCarthy Does Not Have the Votes for House Speaker
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/11/insiders-kevin-mccarthy-not-votes-house-speaker/
I guess the best thing about having a very very slim majority is that it only takes a small handful of real MAGA folks to say……ummmm no.
That’s the line we are being told by the optimists who are supposedly on our side. But I’d have to ask rhetorically – if there’s a bill that 100% of Democrat Reps oppose, then we will need to know in that instance why a few MAGA-aligned Reps. would also oppose the bill (thus making their votes crucial).
All it takes is money. This isn’t his first rodeo.
This will be interesting……..
Kevin McCarthy currently does not have enough votes for Speaker.
We need someone who represents the conservative center of the conference. We need someone who will truly stand up and fight with nerves of steel. We need someone who will hold every Republican accountable to fight againts the Schumer – Biden agenda.
We didn’t have that in the minority. There’s no way we’re going to have that in the majority [if it’s McCarthy]. And there are more than enough of us who are resolved not to vote for him that we need to get past a denial of the reality that he’s going to be Speaker.
~ Bob Good (R-VA)
If McCarthy he won’t accept any votes from Dems (read that somewhere), then what Rep Good says is correct. MTG still pushing if not McCarthy then will be someone voted in with Dem and RINO support. Find it hard to believe that Republicans, to include RINOs faction, would break ranks so quickly. McCarthy talks out of both sides of his mouth so I’m in Good’s camp. I am sure there is a Republican that all can agree upon without involving Dems. Regardless, this is interesting, in that it shows Republicans are not prepared to wield power from Day One.
I think the Democrats get to vote and they can vote for McCarthy with the RINOs to ensure he is speaker.
Or a handful of RINOs will “defect” and vote with the Dems to put a “moderate” Democrat into the Speaker’s Chair…
Turn it back over to the Democrats? That would be suicide!
In a logical world, yes, it would be! But as Sundance has explained so clearly, the Republicans prefer to be in the minority, because it is more profitable for them and it gives them an excuse to not actually follow through on any of their campaign promises.
There are always a few Republicans, both in the House and the Senate, who are in “safe seats” so their votes can be sold on the open market in order to shut down any agenda which would actually benefit the American people.
THERE WILL NO REAL -REP. PARTY -WITH LEADERS SUCH – ROOMATE OF LUNTZ/ PUTZ, TURLE AND RONNA DE SELECTO…

US will never broker a peace. They were the ones responsible for launching this.
Here are the reasons:
-Break Putin
-Break Russia down and break it into pieces
-Protect the Petrodollar which Russia is challenging
-Protect the mirage that NATO is omnipotent. A peace deal would show weakness.
-Russia will demand much in a peace deal and there is no more trust in the US, Ukraine or the West with having not implemented the Minsk Accords
-Throw Putin out of power and put in a friendly puppet government
-Permanently destroy the relationship between all of Europe with Russia
-Destroy Putin’s vision of a multipolar world

NY Post Article link about Antifa protester laid off by Musk
https://nypost.com/2022/11/05/antifa-protester-among-those-who-lost-job-in-massive-twitter-layoffs/
Just posted link to discussion on this topic between Andy and Elon, below.
More ‘peaceful protest’. Excellent.
Russia after 8 months has failed to subdue Ukraine, and it has not been for lack of trying. Don’t tell me they WILL. They thought it would take them two weeks, and 6 months into it Russia had to call up 300,000 more troops and is buying drones from Iran because they can’t produce enough themselves. And don’t try to sell the idea that Russia’s failures to date are part of some brilliant Putin Master Plan: he MEANT to look like he is screwing it up. Brilliant head fake, Mr. Putin! r-i-g-h-t
So- in my rummaging around the internet I came across someone who asked an interesting question:
If Russia is having such a hard time defeating Ukraine, then what does Europe need NATO for, and why does the US need to keep 100,000 troops stationed in Europe to repel a Russian aggressor that can’t even handle Ukraine? Good question, I thought.
I hate to say it but the Soviet Union was probably the best organized Russia has ever been, and that isn’t saying much at all (the multitude of stories of drunk on duty soldiers for starts…) Russians tend towards sloppiness, and so do a lot of Slavic countries. The only reason Ukraine is doing so well is because our Congress totally isn’t money laundering with them.
Some years ago a reporter for National Geographic traveled through Russia, from the Eastern European border to the Pacific Ocean.
The amount of inebriation – and its effects on society – were obvious and disheartening. A Russian official admitted that at any given moment…
…half of Russia is not sober.
A Catholic missionary to Russia came to our parish 3 years ago or so and was seeking donations for his work: he also verified the incredible amount of alcoholism, the poor babies born with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, when they are simply not aborted, and even children age 12 or so drunk on vodka.
The country is a mess, and that could explain why they are incapable of ending the war with a victory.
Do you have some sort of real proof that Russia “… thought it would take them two weeks ….” or are you just regurgitating MSM talking points? Any unbiased viewer would come to the conclusion that Russia went as far as they wanted to. I don’t think Russia has any interest in occupying hostile territory. Russia already defeated the Ukraine but NATO has entered into it and propped up Zelenskyy enough to make it look like to low info types that they are holding their own.
Agree!
I do see the tactical that Surovikin is using appears to be the same he used in Syria.
And those talking points people are regurgitating from MSM they are usually getting the information from their Russian expert at ISW.
And that kid is related to Nuland and Kagan! Never been in a war…he just studies it….
And I agree, I see no indication that Russia wants to occupy hostile territories.
I laughed big time when I read the other day that Ukraine is evacuating the rest of the people from….Kherson!
Has our media reported about that? Wonder how the spin would be on that story!
You seem utterly clueless about what is actually happening (and about to happen) in Ukraine.
Go have a listen to Col. Douglas McGregor – you’ll learn a LOT.
You are blinded by your own prejudices. What is about to happen? You mean like what is already happening? Russian war crimes? A full on domestic terror assault on civilian energy targets to freeze out the civilian population so they will “get their minds right”? Go read ISW. YOU’LL learn a lot.
https://www.understandingwar.org/
As IO said, utterly clueless. What is about to happen? Winter, and the utter destruction of tyhe rest of Ukraine’s infrastructure
Don’t blame Putin, he may be a bastard, but he’s a REAL leader, unlike the Nazis who really run Ukraine, supported by the US/UK.
Go listen to someone who knows, instead of spouting utter nonsense.
You think things are bad now, just wait til the ground freezes.
Your support for the stupid continuation of this conflict just shows you care no=thing for the thousands of poor Ukrainians sacrificed for what? Zelensky’s and his backers pocketbook.
Congrats.
Glad to see you are up front in your support of the Russian terror campaign against the civilian population of Ukraine: “the utter destruction of tyhe rest of Ukraine’s infrastructure.”
“Don’t blame Putin”? Seriously? Do you read what you write? It is PUTIN who is targeting and destroying Ukrainian civilian infrastructure. But that’s OK because … Nazis … or something.
But all of this completely sidesteps my original question: if Russia is having so much trouble with Ukraine, is NATO even still necessary? But given Russia’s blatant imperialist aggression in Putin’s drive to reconstitute the Soviet empire, perhaps it is.
I am reminded of the George Carlin quote:
“Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”
ISW is run by relatives of Victoria Nuland and her husband Kagan. It is a neocon publication. There are better sources.
I agree. Colonel MacGregor is among the best.
IMO Russia isn’t trying to wipe out Ukraine, it’s trying to take over. The type of war tactics are different to attain these goals.
Russia does not recognize Ukraine’s right to exist as an independent country and considers it a breakaway part of Russia that must be brought back in. To Russia, there is no Ukraine as anything other than a region of Russia. Google Putin’s speeches. Everything you want to know about his intentions is in them. Then google Alexander Dugin if you want to be up all night. Then google Russian Civilizaztional Fascism. Russia is not part of The West, and views us as the enemy to be defeated. Not just the globalists, but US, cuilturally. The enemy of our enemy is still our enemy.
Educate yourself. Please.
Alexander Dugan is a moron. Click bait.
Obviously you didn’t listen to the speeches for yourself and appear to be listening to regurgitated info.
What are the objectives of the SMO. Do you even know them?
Are you familiar with Donbas and what has been happening there for the last 8years?
Watch Ukraine on Fire.
Then find the YouTube channel of Patrick Lancaster he has been in Donbas for the last 8 years. Eva Barlett is another.
I can give you the information to start your research.
I cannot think and use your common sense for you- that up to you.
He’s not going to watch that documentary and educate himself. He should and your advice is sound. But ain’t going to happen.

Protests in Germany. Leipzig. In front of US embassy.
Americans go home.
Looks like a lot of people. Peaceful. Anti-war protest.
Not very much written about it in Media…just small articles. 😕 wonder why.
Friends in Prague said Americans not being warmly received there, either.
Guess that’s what happens when you help start a war in someone elses area of the world.
Hoocoodanode?
Not many low and middle income Europeans are going to be “warmly receiving” anybody this winter.
Thanks to the U.S. and UK destroying NS1 and 2.
Regarding house speaker election and McCarthy, etc. I would imagine the handful of MAGA who hold their ground would abstain if McCarthy up and naturally the dims would vote against. He wouldnt win. Then the dims put up someone…..Pelousi etc and the MAGA would vote no with the reps. The dimwit wouldnt win.
There’s more discussion on this topic in the thread.
Nailed. It.
And now we’re doing the same in Ukraine.
She’s right! Also watch Mick Wallace!
He is just like her–throwing out some truth and they don’t like it.
I believe both are from Ireland!
Trapper, as I write this post my son has just found out he has lost his job due to lack of domestic demand, my wife and I went out and had to pay £5.00 for a small bottle of olive oil and tomorrow I will have to fill up my car with diesel at £1.92 a litre. I think Putin’s played a blinder with an initially weak hand, he’s taken on the West and beaten it at it’s own game, weakened NATO, is on the way to virtually destroying it’s proxy in a near peer to peer conflict, whilst being out-numbered 4:1.
Putin has, and has never lost, the strategic initiative and can now decide to crush the forces East of the Dnepr, reduce his enemy to the literal stone age and flood a tottering Europe with a wave of refugees that will strain it’s social systems to breaking point. Alternatively he can just sit and bleed his enemies whilst garnering more support around the globe as the champion against an increasingly degenerate, decrepit West, whose hypocrisy and corruption and mendacity now rival Communist societies.
Ukraine has hoist the West by it’s own petard; a globalist plan to humilate and destroy Putin quickly, using tricksy progressive tactics focusing on a PR war whilst exploiting his military and economic weaknesses has spectacularly backfired largely thanks to the systemic corruption and decay in the orgaisations who came up with it. Putin isn’t playing 5D chess, he doesn’t need to, he’s just playing the regular game against Peter Principle opponents more used to the demands of naughts and crosses.
You are so right. I agree with the thought Russia is waging a battle of attrition.
EU is financially struggling, we now have reports our Strategic stockpiles are low. NATO is fighting between themselves. And we are sending billions of dollars we don’t have.
Sanctions have not worked and predictably backfired. BRICS and SCO is becoming stronger…..
A few Countries are stopping the free ride to the original group of Ukrainians who left. They cannot afford to take care of them.
Now they are telling people in Kiev–find another place to live for the winter.
Another round of refugees will be heading to other countries.
All of those missiles and weapons that the media claimed Russia was running out of –according to their reports in May….obviously a lie.
But people will still not put two and two together and do some research on their own. It’s sad.
I am sorry to hear about your son losing his job. Praying he finds one even better soon.
Excellent comment and sorry about your son’s job. Everything you discuss is true. Putin is waging a war of attrition in Ukraine, against the EU, the UK, NATO, the unipolar world and against the petrodollar.
He is in no rush.Time, in fact, is on his side. The longer this goeson, the higher the pain level.
Disagreements within NATO, the EU are growing and support of the U.S. will start to crack as the war extends. Putin knows this.
Unfortunately, the US has too much to lose in a peace deal because Putin will now ask for a pound of flesh, and to save face as the world’s hegemon, the U.S. is not about to give it to him.
