NY Hotels Boot Homeless Veterans to Shelter Released Migrants
Bob Price  — 13 May 2023

*** begin quote ***Upstate New York hotels began kicking homeless veterans from their properties to make room for migrants being bused to the region from New York City. The homeless veterans, many Vietnam-era veterans, were receiving temporary shelter in the hotels through the efforts of a nonprofit agency.

The New York Post reports that nearly two dozen homeless veterans “have been booted from the upstate hotels to make room for migrants.” One of the hotels told a 24-year-old Afghanistan war veteran their temporary housing was being pulled out from under them and they would have to move somewhere else.

Sharon Toney-Finch, CEO of the Yerik Israel Toney Foundation, told the New York Post, “Our veterans have been placed in another hotel due to what’s going on with the immigrants.”

Toney-Finch said they moved the veterans from the Crossroads Hotel in Newburgh, New York, to other nearby motels and hotels. The properties were located about 20 minutes from where they were displaced.

Orange County, New York, is now the target of a migrant busing campaign by New York City Mayor Eric Adams. The mayor is moving the migrants out of his sanctuary city to Upstate New York to relieve migrant overcrowding in his city.

Anyone, who votes for D, deserves to be ashamed of how vets are treated in the USA.

Not that the R’s are much better, but at least they pretend to care more.

Heartbreaking.

Som Sabadell flashmob – BANCO SABADELL https://youtu.be/GBaHPND2QJg via @YouTube 

Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy” Brought to Life in a Spanish Flashmob of 100 Musicians

  • A touchingly human reminder of our capacity for ecstasy and transcendence.

By Maria Popova

*** begin quote ***

Imagine what life would be like if lived, in May Sarton’s lovely phrase, with “joy instead of will.” That is what Beethoven imagined, and invited humanity to imagine, two centuries ago in the choral finale of his ninth and final symphony, known as “Ode to Joy” — an epochal hymn of the possible, half a lifetime in the making.

In the spring of 2012, the Spanish city of Sabadell set out to celebrate the 130th anniversary of its founding with a most unusual, electrifying, and touchingly human rendition of Beethoven’s masterpiece, performed by a flashmob of 100 musicians from the Vallès Symphony Orchestra, the Lieder, Amics de l’Òpera and Coral Belles Arts choirs. Watching the townspeople — children with kites, elders with walkers, couples holding hands — gather to savor the unbidden music in a succession of confusion, delight, and ecstasy is the stuff of goosebumps: living proof that “music so readily transports us from the present to the past, or from what is actual to what is possible.”

*** end quote ***

Sappy, but I love the children really getting into the swing of it.

Hard not to be moved by it.  Something gets stirred in the soul.

What could be if we all just tried harder … … “Peace on Earth” to men of good will.

GOLD: End the FED, FDIC, FLIC, Freddie,

The Big Government-Big Bank Plot To Exploit Us
By Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.
May 8, 2023

*** begin quote ***

Putting an end to inflation requires not only the abolition of the Fed but also the abolition of the FDIC and FSLIC. At long last, banks would be treated like any firm in any other industry. In short, if they can’t meet their contractual obligations they will be required to go under and liquidate. It would be instructive to see how many banks would survive if the massive governmental props were finally taken away.”

We must do everything we can to end our corrupt monetary system, which threatens to bring down our economy through runaway inflation and bank insolvency. We need to restore the gold standard and end the Fed.

*** end quote ***

The only way to get Leviathan Gooferment under control is to starve it of resources, 

A gold based currency would “put the genie back in the bottle”. 

Gooferment politicians and bureaucrats would have to collect taxes and fees to run.  

Finally the “little people” could get a fair deal and opposed to all the other “Deals” they have been getting from Gooferment  — new, fair, square, etc etc.

MONEY: Is the E-Krona money or, like the CCP, a method of social control by Sweden?

Friday, May 12, 2023

https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/sweden-cbdc-for-financial-surveillance?utm_source=Bitcoin%20Magazine&utm_campaign=b4c3ecc573-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2023_05_11_08_21&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f7d45fbb67-b4c3ecc573-357073741&mc_cid=b4c3ecc573

With The E-Krona, Sweden Is Attacking The Virtues Bitcoin Is Built To Protect

  • As they increase financial surveillance and control, Swedish authorities are inadvertently making the case for Bitcoin as an alternative.

Peter Bistoletti  —     May 11, 2023

*** begin quote ***

E-krona is, at present, a pilot project, testing the technical platform and the cooperation of banks, companies and end users. The e-krona will preserve several functions of cash but not anonymity. The volume of e-krona created will not be determined by mining (like it is for Bitcoin), but by the central bank. Positive or negative interest rates will also be determined by the central bank. In a deeper sense, the e-krona without a function like Bitcoin mining is merely a central database controlled by the central bank. 

*** end quote ***

IMHO, it’s the worst of all worlds.

Grab the popcorn and settle in for the show.

Where bitcoin allowed people to avoid capital controls and escape with their wealth, this will not!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Who do these people think they work for?

FBI refuses to give Congress informant file alleging Biden took bribes as vice president
By Steven Nelson 
May 10, 2023 3:50pm

*** begin quote ***

WASHINGTON — The FBI has refused to give Congress an informant file alleging that President Biden took bribes while he was vice president, The Post has learned — setting up a possible showdown over access to the information.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) issued a legally binding subpoena last week requiring the FBI to turn over the file by noon Wednesday, but the bureau instead replied with a six-page letter raising various objections.

“Information from confidential human sources is unverified and, by definition, incomplete,” wrote FBI acting assistant director for congressional affairs Christopher Dunham, who also argued that informant reports must also be kept private to protect sources.

*** end quote ***

Who do these people think they work for?

Congress should IMMEDIATELY defund the FBI!

Suspend the salaries of the non-worker bees (i.e., leadership).

Argh!

GUNS: Criminals don’t seem to be well trained and that’s a good thing

Terrifying moment three would-be assassins board school bus and try to shoot boy aged FOURTEEN in ‘targeted’ attack that only failed because their gun didn’t fire

  •     Three would-be assassins boarded a Maryland school bus in masks before attempting to shoot their victim at point-blank range
  •     When the gun jammed and bullets fell to the floor, one of the attackers pistol whipped the boy before fleeing the scene 
  •     Cops believe all three suspects are juveniles, and investigations into the incident are ongoing

*** begin quote ***

Chilling photos show three would-be assassins board a Maryland school bus to try to shoot a 14-year-old boy dead in what appears to have been a targeted attack. 

The unidentified youngsters burst onto the bus in Prince George’s County, Maryland, on Monday afternoon when their intended victim was the last student on board.

They tried shooting the middle-schooler – who has not been named – in the chest at point-blank range with the boy’s life only saved after the gun malfunctioned.

*** end quote ***

Its only on TV and in the movies that guns are 100% reliable.

One of the many things that a responsible gun owner learns to do is to clear a jam quickly and under pressure.

A good think that criminals are so stupid and don’t train with their chosen weapon.

I hope these criminals get prosecuted as adults and sentenced accordingly.  

I’d like to know the motivation behind it.  If “drugs”, then I hope that the accessories get convicted as well.

RANT: Why can’t “we” stop wrong way drivers?

Two boys, both 14, killed after Dodge Ram smashed into their car on Long Island highway as ‘drunk driver’ told police he thought he was in New Jersey

  •     Drew Hassenbein and Ethan Falkowitz died near Jericho late Wednesday 
  •     Amandeep Singh was the driver; he faces vehicular homicide charge 
  •     Two other boys aged 16 and 17 who were in the car suffered internal injuries

Two 14-year-old boys died after their Alfa Romeo car was struck by a suspected drunk driver who was traveling the wrong-way on a Long Island expressway. 

Drew Hassenbein and Ethan Falkowitz died near Jericho late Wednesday night after Amandeep Singh, 34, crashed his Dodge Ram into them, the New York Post reported.

They were pronounced dead at the scene, while two other boys, aged 16 and 17, who were in the car suffered internal injuries. They were in a stable condition in hospital. 

*** end quote ***

I really don’t understand how parking lot owners can stop wrong way drivers (i.e., tire shredders), but Gooferment highway “engineers” can’t.

It seems real simple to me.

I bet the tire makers would applaud the new business.  I’m sure all the victims of these killers would as well.

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Why does PBS get Taxpayer money?

Tuesday, May 9, 2023

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12059267/Oklahoma-Gov-defends-decision-close-PBS-station-indoctrination-children.html

Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt defends decision to close state’s PBS station OETA over ‘indoctrination and over-sexualization of children’ including reading of kids’ book about drag queen’s hips

  •     Shows on the network include ‘Sesame Street,’ ‘Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,’ and ‘Clifford The Big Red Dog’
  •     Gov. Stitt’s veto means that the network will cease operations this year unless legislature overrides it
  •     He also criticized a Newshour feature that included parents’ support for gender-affirming treatments – including puberty blockers

# – # – # – # – # 

Of course, both the article and the Governor miss the point.  Why is the Gooferment subsidizing a TV network?  Does anyone think that Sesame Street can’t get on a network without the Gooferment money?

If the Taxpayers of Oklahoma want to subsidize PBS, then let them VOLUNTARILY contribute to the PBS negations that run regularly.

Argh!
