The Corruption Of POTUS, SCOTUS, And SCROTUS
by Tyler Durden  — Monday, Jun 26, 2023 – 04:20 PM
Authored by Charles Hugh Smith via OfTwoMinds blog,

  • Until we reach that point of social transformation, we’re passengers on a ship of state doomed by rampant, systemic corruption and the collapse of moral standards and the rule of law.

*** begin quote ***

Then there’s SCROTUS: the Supremely Corrupt Royalty of the United States, the corporate bigshots, the lobbyists, the billionaires, the politically influential, the financially connected, and all the elites that are protected from consequence and therefore untouchable.

Thanks for another acronym that describes the opposite of us deplorables.

Rant: so sad to see child masked at the park

No risk outside. Little risk to young children.

Makes me sad how our corrupt politicians and bureaucrats have inflicted mass stupidity on “We, The Sheeple”!

and I even saw a masked young adult (30’s) diving in a car alone.

HARDWARE: NO folding phones for me

Sorry — RIP to my Pixel Fold: Dead after four days

  • The closed display halves almost touch, and that can smash debris into the screen.

Ron Amadeo – 6/26/2023, 1:00 PM

*** begin quote ***

Manufacturers keep wanting to brush off the significant durability issues of flexible OLED displays, thinking that if they just shove the devices onto the market, everything will work out. That hasn’t been the case, though, and any time you see a foldable phone for sale, you don’t have to look far to see reports of dead displays. I’m sure we’ll see several reports of broken Pixel Folds once the unit hits the general public. Corning may save us with an exterior foldable glass cover, but until then, buying any foldable feels like a gamble.

The scary part for Google customers is that a broken Pixel Fold means dealing with the company’s notoriously unhelpful support team. Horror stories are a regular occurrence on the /r/GooglePixel subreddit, where users have called Google Support “hilariously incompetent” and a “nightmare” to deal with, begging the company to improve. It’s one thing to ship normal glass smartphones, but these fragile foldables will put more stress on Google’s support network.

*** end quote ***

I’ve always been suspect of “foldable” phones.  Not the old ones but the new ones that promise a “big” screen from a “small” footprint.

Just ain’t going to happen IRL of rough and tumble.

INTERESTING: Didn’t anyone think about tructural fatigue from repeated trips?

Underwater survival expert reveals OceanGate’s biggest ‘red flags’ and says the unconventional combination of materials used to build its doomed Titan sub was NOT innovative because ‘it’s been tried and simply didn’t work’

  •     Rachel Lance, a Duke University biomedical engineer and underwater survival expert, on Thursday said OceanGate was using technology proven not to work
  •     Lance told CNN that the carbon fiber hull was already widely discredited, despite OceanGate’s CEO hyping it as innovative and safe
  •     She said some of the vessel’s design materials ‘were already large red flags to people who have worked in this field’

He also said in 2020 that the hull had ‘showed signs of cyclical fatigue’. 

Carbon fiber is prone to delamination, the process whereby a material fractures into layers while put under pressure.

Cameron said: ‘The way it fails is it delaminates. You have to have a hull, a pressure hull, made out of a contiguous material like steel, or like titanium, which is the proven standard.’

*** end quote *** 

When I first heard about the disastrous failure and that they had been running “tours” since 2021, I immediately wondered how they were dealing with “material fatigue”.   Anyone, who has unbent and recent a paperclip know that suddenly the clip just fails breaking apart.  When dealing with the tremendous pressure (i.e., the weight of the water above you pressing down), the material must flex every time it goes down and back up.  

Surprising it didn’t fail sooner.

GOLDBUG: Gold vending machines should come to the USA

Gold-Bar Vending-Machines Rolled-Out At South-Korean Convenience-Stores
by Tyler Durden  — Friday, Jun 23, 2023 – 04:15 AM

*** begin quote ***

Buying physical precious metals is a time-proven method of securing generational wealth while reckless central bankers debase currencies and ignite the worst inflation storm in a generation. Gold and silver investing has long been seen as a hedge against inflation and a store of value against currencies. Access to physical precious metals is challenging and usually involves a bullion dealer. Sometimes online dealers take weeks to receive the delivery. 

South Korean convenience store GS Retail, with 10,000 locations, has understood the soaring demand for ‘sound money’ and wants to enhance accessibility. The company rolled out gold bar vending machines with offerings in five sizes, weighing 0.13 ounces to 1.3 ounces, according to UPI News Korea. 

“The most popular gold bar is the smallest, the 0.13-ounce one, which is currently priced at around $225,” a GS Retail representative told the media outlet.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: How can a State not have “standing” to call the Federal Gooferment to account for not following the laws?

Supreme Court Strikes Down Texas’ Challenge to Biden Border Policy
Tyler O’Neil / @Tyler2ONeil / June 23, 2023

*** begin quote ***

The Supreme Court struck down a challenge to President Joe Biden’s border policy Friday, ruling that Texas and Louisiana lack standing to challenge a policy the states claimed was illegal.

The Supreme Court Friday stuck down Texas and Louisiana’s legal challenge to new Biden administration border policies that violate federal statutes and harm citizens in Texas and Louisiana, the states argued. (Read the full ruling below.)

All justices besides Samuel Alito concurred in the opinion that Texas and Louisiana lack standing to challenge the new rules, which the Department of Homeland Security promulgated in 2021.

Texas and Louisiana argued that federal law requires law enforcement to arrest certain noncitizens upon their release from prison or entry of a final order of removal, but the new DHS rule only prioritizes the arrest and removal of noncitizens who are suspected terrorists or dangerous criminals who unlawfully entered the country recently. The states claimed that these rules harmed them by imposing extra costs by requiring them to continue to incarcerate or supply social services—such as health care and education—to noncitizens.

One example of the evidence contained was the deposition on page 28 of one Richard Salazar, who under penalty of perjury stated that he saw multiple boxes of ballots and cash delivered from a private residence in Tempe, to Runbeck Election Services, the company hired by Maricopa County to assist in the counting of absentee ballots.

The corruption revealed in the presentation needs to be taken seriously and indeed it is, according to Thaler, at least by some people in positions of authority to investigate issues well beyond the election fraud and other aspects stated above.

DISCOURAGING: Gooferment “welfare” is the new form of slavery

The Great Society: POTUS Lyndon Johnson & Democrats destroyed minority & African-American, he broke their backs with his fraud dependency program in 1964 (the largest social reform plan in history)

  • these democrats that wanted to do good by blacks, well, with welfare, housing etc. they reversed 100 years of strong progress where blacks post slavery were outpacing whites on most socio-indicators

Dr. Paul Alexander  —  Jun 19, 2023

*** begin quote ***

Key was welfare that emerged as the ‘husband’ of the minority American woman; Democrats took the father out of the home, destroyed his role, his place, turned potent strong independent hard working blacks into dependents, destroyed the will and mind. No government program has done more damage to the American people than The Great Society. Broke the backs of blacks when truth be told, blacks were digging out of the slavery hole post 1865, outpacing whites.

From 1965 (100 years post abolition of slavery), when you look at the socio-economic indicator curves, you see it plunge downwards for blacks while whites stayed up. What blacks were doing on their own was reversed in 1965 and one key is the devastation of the nuclear family where today over 3 out of 4 African American homes are lead by a single person often not mother who is a crack whore while father is a dead beat drug addict thug just screwing each woman he could and getting her pregnant. Not taking responsibility and leaving the kids fatherless who then use the judge as their mother, the streets as their homes, and the jail as their father. 

*** and ***

It is the Democrat party that is the modern day slave plantation and it is imperative that blacks leave that plantation. Complete, for it worked to destroy them. 

*** end quote ***

Malcolm X said: “The worst enemy that the Negro have is this white man that runs around here drooling at the mouth professing to love Negros and calling himself a liberal, and it is following these white liberals that has perpetuated problems that Negros have. If the Negro wasn’t taken, tricked or deceived by the white liberal, then Negros would get together and solve our own problems. I only cite these things to show you that in America, the history of the white liberal has been nothing but a series of trickery designed to make Negros think that the white liberal was going to solve our problems. Our problems will never be solved by the white man.”

And, my sainted Uncles heard this and agree that he had hit the nail on the head.

“I recall when Mrs. Viola Meekins, when I was a student at Stoddart-Fleisher Junior High School in the late 1940s, had our class go page by page through a textbook and correct each instance in which Negro was printed with a lowercase “n.” In Malcolm X’s day, and mine, Negro was a proud name and not used derisively by blacks as it is today.”  — Walter Williams 

“The welfare state is the oldest con game in the world. First you take people’s money away quietly and then you give some of it back to them flamboyantly.”  — Thomas Sowell 

Instead of “Black Live Matter” stealing from that charity and phone hearings on “reparations”, we should demand the Gooferment get out of the “welfare” business that is the new form of slavery for poor white AND black women.

Sigh!

It’s 10AM in my local William Hill and the races are on at the picturesque Hilltop Gardens. Sugar Cube, 12-1, is doing the impossible: Having loitered at the back of the pack for most of the race, he’s advancing up the field as if he’s just snorted an entire bag of Silver Spoon. Leading horse Yes Ma Lady, ridden by Kieran Tyler, starts to slow, saddled by fatigue. No wonder, he’s been racing literally all day. Sugar Cube crystallises near the front; Council Gritter eats dust; Yoga Flame doggedly slips downward; the final stretch is in sight. It’s a photo finish – Sugar Cube takes it. It’s an instant classic.

Why is Blackrock entering Crypto, a HUGE deal that shouldn’t be disregarded.

*** begin quote ***

BlackRock, the world’s largest and strongest asset manager with over $8 trillion in assets under management, has officially entered the crypto market in 2023. They have filed for a Bitcoin Fund and are probably buying the dip big time right now.

*** and ***

TLDR: BlackRock’s entry into the crypto market is a game-changer for the industry. It’s a clear sign that digital assets are here to stay and are poised for mainstream adoption. With more institutional investment, professionalization, and regulation on the horizon, the crypto market is about to get a lot more exciting.

*** end quote ***

This is good and bad.  They are the huge elephant in the room capable of making and manipulating the market.

And since “regulatory capture” is the rule un the USA Gooferment, don’t expect any “fairness” or “justice”.

Just look at the manipulation of commodity money metals and be warned.

I’d treat the “Market Price” of ₿ as possibly over or under stated as it suits Blackrock’s needs.

DCA of small savings regularly is the only way we have to address that.

When the lid blows of fiat currencies, then expect ₿ to explode.  Remember that fellow who bought tow pizzas for some bitcoins?  Don’t be that fellow.

OBSERVATION: Has “feminism” robbed women of respect?

How Women Have Robbed Themselves
By Deanna Chadwell

*** begin quote ***

Women in our society have traditionally been treated with a unique honor and respect. Were we always treated fairly? Not entirely — there was a time when we couldn’t vote. There was a time when women couldn’t own property. True. But since forever men have been showing us, even in small ways, that what we have to offer society is paramount. We can make babies and without babies, mankind cannot fulfill even the most basic mandate — multiply and fill the earth.

*** end quote ***

Certainly seems that in today’s “Only Fans” world, women have diminished themselves into mere “sex workers”, units of production, or shrill harpies.  #METOO has exposed some of the elite’s “sins” and horrible exploitation.  Epstein’s Clients have yet to named and shamed.  Injustices seem to be hard to prove or rectify.  Some cases are absurd on their face, but do nothing, when prosecuted, to make it harder for real victims to come forward and be believed.

A sad day for the USA when we fail to treat the “weaker sex” with the respect they deserve.

By Danny Lemieux

*** begin quote ***

“We make men without chests and expect from them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst.” —C.S. Lewis

When Donald J. Trump established himself in the president’s office in January 2017, one of the first things he did was hang a portrait of President Andrew Jackson in the Oval Office. That was a signal.

Andrew Jackson was an irascible war hero known for his blunt manner, explosive temper, and inclined to physical violence. He was elected President in 1828, his second attempt, as a reformer who promised to clean out the “deep state” corruption of his day.

  • Tucker Carlson delivered a monologue on former President Donald Trump and the war agenda in Washington in his monologue on the third episode of ‘Tucker on Twitter.’

*** begin quote ***

Whatever else you say about him, Trump is the one guy with an actual shot of becoming president who dissents from Washington’s longstanding pointless war agenda. And for that, that one fact, they are trying to take Trump out before you can vote for him. And that should upset you more than anything that’s happened in American politics in your lifetime. Even if you don’t plan to vote for Donald Trump, even if you would die before voting for Donald Trump, which if your right, and a lot of people feel that way, even still the destruction of our democracy which is the right of voters to support any candidate they want — even candidates that don’t want war with Russia — the destruction of that should keep you up at night.

Yes, Donald Trump is a flawed man but his sins are minor compared to those of his persecutors. In this life, we don’t get to choose our martyrs. We can only choose our principles and America’s are at stake.

Why Everything You Know About World War II Is Wrong
Mike Whitney Interview with Ron Unz • June 12, 2023 

*** begin quote ***

Indeed, Flynn alleges that by late 1937, FDR had turned towards an aggressive foreign policy aimed at involving the country in a major foreign war, primarily because he believed that this was the only route out of his desperate economic and political box, a stratagem not unknown among national leaders throughout history. In his January 5, 1938 New Republic column, he alerted his disbelieving readers to the looming prospect of a large naval military build-up and warfare on the horizon after a top Roosevelt adviser had privately boasted to him that a large bout of “military Keynesianism” and a major war would cure the country’s seemingly insurmountable economic problems. At that time, war with Japan, possibly over Latin American interests, seemed the intended goal, but developing events in Europe soon persuaded FDR that fomenting a general war against Germany was the best course of action. Memoirs and other historical documents obtained by later researchers seem to generally support Flynn’s accusations by indicating that Roosevelt ordered his diplomats to exert enormous pressure upon both the British and Polish governments to avoid any negotiated settlement with Germany, thereby leading to the outbreak of World War II in 1939.

*** end quote ***

​Here’s a pretty damning indictment of the WW2 history we’ve been fed.  Makes me wonder if ANYTHING we’ve been told or read is true.I know my uncles were CONVINCED that FDR setup Pearl Harbor to end the Great Depression.   When I mentioned it in my grammar school history lesson, the good Brother, a WW2 vet, whose name I don’t remember, didn’t say I was wrong but that it was “one opinion”.  Guess that began my cynicism and skepticism.

Boy Becomes Friends With 12 Y.O. Foster Kid So The Family Adopts Him
Margo Butautaite  — BoredPanda staff

*** begin quote ***

In an ideal world, every child has nurturing parents that love and protect them and kiss them goodnight after checking for monsters under the bed. Unfortunately, the reality is more tragic. Many children get taken away from abusive parents and end up in foster care waiting for years for a new family. A boy from Tennessee was lucky to have found a family that loves him unconditionally AND ended up having his best friend as his brother. How cool is that?

*** end quote ***

I don’t often find “inspirational” material on Bored Panda; so this was special.

It made me think of all those memes where young children claim “twin-ship” by wearing the same clothes and ignore that they are of different “races”.  (It makes me thing that “race” really doesn’t exist except as a meme in the midst of adults!)

This story is an adult version of that perception.

At 34, Jon has incurable bowel cancer – all because the NHS turned into a Covid-only service

  • Jon Chapple’s diagnosis was delayed due to the pandemic; now his only hope is to crowdfund treatment in Germany

Allison Pearson  — 30 May 2023 • 6:32pm

*** begin quote ***

In the spring of 2020, Jon Chapple and a friend were debating lockdown. Jon was pretty vehement. He said he thought it was obvious that shutting down the country, and effectively making the NHS a Covid-only service, was a huge error. It would kill more people than it saved in the long run, Jon told his friend. What Jon didn’t know was that one of the people lockdown would condemn to death would be him.  

How could he possibly have known? Jon was 32, a music journalist turned PR who had recently married Nikki, his childhood sweetheart. They grew up two streets away from each other in Essex. The couple were incredibly happy, planning to move into a bigger place, start a family; life was sweet, apart from an annoying stomach complaint Jon had seen the GP about in January.

He’d been referred for a colonoscopy that was supposed to happen in March, but lockdown kiboshed that. The appointment was pushed back until August when a benign polyp was discovered in Jon’s bowel. The consultant said he didn’t have the right tool to take it out (he didn’t mention it was because the growth was so large) but he told Jon he’d get him back in to do it. “It was no big deal, I thought,” recalls Jon.

What a national disaster!  A simple colonoscopy could have save him a lot of suffering and maybe Gooferment cost him his life.

*** begin quote ***

A Missouri middle schooler was so determined to make it to his graduation, he ended up walking 6 miles.

Losing out on an opportunity for a ride there, 8th-grader Xavier Jones asked his friend and brother to walk along with him, remembering something a mentor at Yeatman Middle School had told him.

“‘If I want it, I got to go get it,’” Jones told Fox News, remembering the advice. Together, the young men walked over 10,000 steps and two-and-a-half hours through St. Louis to arrive at the school.

*** and ***

“She said, ‘You got a full ride,’ and I said [to Xavier], ‘Do you know what that means,’ and he said, ‘They’re going to give me a ride to school?’” Seals said. “I was like, ‘No, you’re getting a ride to college. He said, ‘Wait a minute, I don’t have to pay for college. Then it started hitting him.”

Miami Dolphins NFL player Terron Armstead, who grew up in a similar part of town to Xavier, had bought his family a minivan, and an electric bike to ensure transportation options are no longer a problem.

While Ahlam Tamimi, the mastermind of the 2001 Jerusalem pizzeria bombing, enjoys legal protection in neighboring Jordan, her 16th victim — 53-year-old Chana Nachenberg — died in a Tel Aviv hospital after 22 years in a coma. New York-born Nachenberg was at the restaurant with her two-year-old daughter, who was also injured in the bombing.

Ahlam Tamimi, a Hamas terrorist of Jordanian nationality, received 16 consecutive life sentences from an Israeli court for orchestrating the suicide bombing. In 2011, She was released in exchange for an Israeli soldier held in Hamas captivity for five years.

According to Tamimi’s own admission, she chose the popular West Jerusalem restaurant because it was well-frequented by religious Jews. The suicide bomber, on Tamimi’s orders, blew himself up inside the Sbarro pizzeria. The blast initially killed 15 people, including seven children and a pregnant woman. More than 130 people were injured in the bombing.

Tme to dust off the Constitution and have Congress pass a “letter of marque” against this individual.  Not that “we”, the USA would kill her, but we would ignore it.  From out Justice POV, it just was “justice delayed”.

While I am personally against the death penalty, sometimes it’s warranted.

And PNG (Persona Non Grata) ALL the Jordanian diplomats. 

Argh!

Although privateering commissions and letters of marque were originally distinct legal concepts, such distinctions became purely technical by the 18th century.[19] Article I of the United States Constitution, for instance, states that “The Congress shall have Power To … grant Letters of marque and reprisal …”,[20] without separately addressing privateer commissions.

“Looking at how they’re treating him in one way versus everybody else. Every time Biden comes under the microscope, every time we show corruption by Joe Biden and his family there’s an indictment on Donald Trump. When you look at the standard he has it’s a double standard, a second tier of justice in this country. The American people want everybody to be treated the same. Donald Trump is no fan of mine. he primaried me last year. I’m not a shill, but I see this, how unfair it’s been.”

I agree!

Not a fan of anyone in the UniWarParty, but this is absurd.

INSPIRATIONAL: The York groundsel is “De-Extinct-ed”

Flower That Grew Only in York Brought Back From Extinction After 30 Years—First Ever British De-Extinction

By Andy Corbley – May 30, 2023 

*** begin quote ***

English media is gushing over the news of the first “de-extinction event” that saw a yellow wildflower unique to northeast England brought back to life.

Extinct since 1991, the York groundsel managed to carry on thanks to a handful of seed that was shed from three potted specimens on a windowsill at the University of York.

Stored at the Millennium Seed Bank in the Kew Gardens, botanists at Natural England organized a resurrection for the York groundsel after they received word the seeds were reaching the end of their lifespan.

Like aborted children, about whom I wonder who was the one who was to cure cancer.  So to, an extinct species of flower could hold the unknown key to an unknown mystery.

Probably not, but who wants to bet against the possibility?

Not me.
