Media GAsLighting on Biden and Ukraine; Plus, Belated SPIEF 2024 Video
5 July 2024 by Larry Johnson
*** begin quote ***
It dawned on me today (okay, I’m a little slow on the uptake) that the legacy media is using the same gaslighting technique in reporting on Joe Biden and the War in Ukraine.
The term “gaslighting” comes from the 1938 play Angel Street, which was later adapted into the film Gaslight, in which a man tries to convince his wife that she is going insane so he can steal from her. When he turns on the lights in the attic to search for her jewelry collection, and the gas lights dim downstairs, he tells her it’s all in her imagination. Gradually she begins to question her own memories and perceptions.
The legacy media’s repeated insistence over the last two years that Ukraine was whooping the tar out of Russia on the battlefield, is the same tactic as the media’s claims that Joe Biden is a certifiable jeopardy candidate who could run circles around Albert Einstein were he still with us. Both messages are designed to bamboozle the public. But it is a failed tactic once visual, certifiable facts are on display and can no longer be dismissed as “conspiracy theories.”
Gaslighting is both a political tactic and technique designed to persuade you that you did not see nor hear what you saw and heard. Tonight’s interview on ABC of Joe Biden by Clinton protege, George Stephanopoulos, is a departure from the gaslighting and represents, instead, Biden’s last chance to persuade top Democrat officials and donors that last Thursday’s debate debacle was an aberration. It was not. Biden failed the test. The Democrats wanted it done on Friday night because it is not a big TV ratings night and any stumbles by Biden would be less damaging than if he did a full public melt-down in Prime Time like last Thursday’s debate.

Finally have a good definition of what is being done to “We, The Sheeple”!

Russian government considering legalizing stablecoins for cross-border payments (2 minute read)
Assad Jafri
Jul. 3, 2024 at 8:48 pm UTC
Updated: Jul. 3, 2024 at 8:48 pm UTC
*** begin quote ***
Russia is considering legalizing stablecoins for international transactions to improve cross-border payments and mitigate the effects of ongoing sanctions. The Russian Central Bank is looking to regulate the transaction chain from entry to utilization. Its initiative would primarily target facilitating transactions with BRICS countries effectively integrating stablecoins into the national framework for international settlements.
*** end quote ***
This is another nail in the coffin of the USA dollar and the SWIFT funds transfer system.
Our politicians and bureaucrats have really screwed the pooch this time.
Now assets will move bypassing and being transparent to the USA.
Good job, Guys. Incentivize the rapid adoption of a competitive technology.

“Trump was right — I know, there’s words I’ve never spoken — Trump was right when he turned to Biden to ask him what his problem was as to why he never fires anybody,” Moore said. “It’s amazing to me how a week later now, anyone on this campaign staff still has a job! How is that possible?!”
I agree with him and DJT on that point.

The Beekeeper
A retired military operative, who now serves as a Beekeeper in a secret organization that protects the world like bees in a hive, is forced into a campaign of revenge when his neighbor’s finances are wiped out after a phishing scam.
# – # – # – # – #
The beginning of this movie should be required watching BEFORE anyone gets a personal computer.
The ‘nice old lady” gets scammed out of everything she has by calling in after a pop up on her computer. Been there getting pop ups, spam emails, and whatever.
Lesson Number 1 is have yourself some “tech support” relative. Or at least, don’t trust anyone online.
The lady has a flash of insight to call her bank but gets talked out it when the nice man on the phone says “he’ll lose his job.”
The rest of the movie is mission impossible type hokum but enjoyable to see the “bad guys” get karma visited upon them.
All in all, the part about scammers is very believable and should serve as a warning to all computer Users.

FROM 1440 NEWS
Good headline but text “Russian missile barrage” was bad. Could it have been a false flag? Remember Ukraine shot a missile into Poland and blamed Russia. The timing is too convenient and the Russians have been extremely careful about what they hit and very circumspect about firing back.
I’d say the facts are not yet fully known to assign blame.
IMHO

Missiles Strike Ukraine
At least 36 civilians were killed and more than 100 wounded across Ukraine after a Russian missile barrage hit multiple targets yesterday, including the country’s largest children’s hospital in the capital of Kyiv. The daytime attack is considered the heaviest single-day bombardment in the last four months of the Russia-Ukraine war, which is now in its 29th month (see updates).
Ukraine’s air defenses shot down 30 of the 38 missiles, with officials saying the weapons consisted of aerial, ballistic, and cruise missiles (see the difference). At least 50 civilian buildings were damaged across central and eastern Ukraine by Russia’s airstrikes. The UN Security Council will hold an emergency meeting today to address the strikes.
Russia’s latest attack comes as Western leaders will meet in Washington, DC, today to kick off a three-day NATO summit. The agenda includes discussions over Ukraine’s potential membership in the military alliance and a new support package.

Ukraine Bombs Its Own Children’s Hospital and British Journal Says Palestinian Death Toll is Astronomical
8 July 2024 by Larry Johnson
*** begin quote ***
This is a ten on both the hypocrisy and propaganda scales. Check it for yourself. Do an internet search on the following — “Ukraine strikes Sevastopol.” Only cursory coverage. No blaring headlines in the NY Times or Financial Times or any other major paper. Ignore it. But this? Intense coverage.
Only one problem with the story — it is BULLSHIT. The children’s hospital was hit by an errant air defense missile fired by Ukraine. Whoops! What is really telling is that there was ZERO news coverage of the other sites hit by Russian missiles in Kiev. You know why? Because they were military targets and there were probably Western casualties. Russia delivered this blow in daylight during working hours in order to inflict maximum casualties on those engaged in producing or repairing weapons.
Ukrainian authorities also lied about the number of Russian missiles shot down. The Ukie Air Force claimed it downed 30 of 38 Russian missiles. Check out the following videos. You can see at least five successful Russian missile strikes in Kiev, including some secondary explosions, which normally are associated with a weapons storage facility. (We’ll see how long YouTube allows the first video to stay online. I will also post on BitChute.)

“Needless to say I called my doctor and was told to get to the emergency room immediately” — Apple’s cheapest Watch just saved another life
By Stephen Warwick
*** begin quote ***
Apple’s cheapest wearable has just been credited with saving another life, proving you don’t have to buy the best Apple Watch on the market to benefit from life-saving tech yet again.
User V3N0M0US83 took to the Apple Watch Subreddit this week and revealed “Apple Watch saved my life this past weekend.” “I have an SE 2 and Thursday my watch had gone off saying my heart rate was above 120 bpm,” they explained. The user ignored the alerts “as I didn’t feel any discomfort,” but got two more heart rate alerts while sitting at the kitchen table the following day.
“I opened the heart rate app and my bpm was at 161 while resting.” The user’s girlfriend, a medical assistant in training, gave their heart a listen with a stethoscope “and said my heart was beating out of my chest.” Turns out, they needed life-saving treatment.
*** end quote ***
My afib was detected by my apple watch and the cardiologist didn’t believe it. The episode evidently was intermittent. He wired me up with 73 hour monitor. Then next day he called me into the office and started me on a drug regimen.
It was afib.
Even on drugs I get a warning that the “afib is less than 2%”. He says that is ok, but don’t stop the medicine or lose the watch.
So, it doesn’t have to be the best apple watch to get this feature, but it could save your life. Afib causes heart attacks, strokes, and all sorts of other “lesser problems”. It’s a cheap tool. And, I can confirm the efficacy of it.
YMMV but I am a believer.

Thousands of homeowners are about to get slammed with higher monthly payments
By Samantha Delouya, CNN
Published 4:00 AM EDT, Mon July 1, 2024
*** begin quote ***
Andrew Marquis, a loan officer in Lexington, Massachusetts, said he has recently seen a dramatic increase in ARM loan applications. Homebuyers increasingly believe that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates in the next few years, giving these buyers time to refinance their loans before the clock on the fixed period of their ARM runs out, he said. The Fed doesn’t directly set mortgage rates, but its actions influence them. This year, the Federal Reserve has signaled that it may possibly cut its benchmark interest rate one time.
*** end quote ***
I guess no one learned anything from the 2008 Housing bubble.
If you need an adjustable rate mortgage to afford the house, that’s a red flag that you can’t afford it.
If the max increase is more than you can afford, then you are rolling the dice. If the professionals knew what the interest rates would be, they could make a fortune in the options market. Instead they are selling you mortgages.
For the average Joe Six-Pack, 30 year fixed is still the best buy; unless you can afford a 15 year fixed.
Argh!

Bizarre moment lawyer is kicked off Avianca flight from Colombia to LA after seat he had purchased three months prior was sold to a mother flying with two children
By Adriano Torres, Dailymail.com
Published: 17:01 EDT, 25 June 2024 | Updated: 17:55 EDT, 25 June 2024
*** begin quote ***
A lawyer held up a flight for almost an hour after he discovered that the airlines company Avianca had overbooked his seat.
The passenger, who identified himself as Juan Manuel in a recent video chat with the TikToker who filmed the incident, had purchased a roundtrip fare from Bogotá, Colombia, to Los Angeles before he was shocked to find out that there was a child sitting in his seat.
Manuel recalled arriving two and a half hours ahead of his trip at El Dorado International Airport for the first leg of his journey, before making a connection in El Salvador.
*** end quote ***
This is far from uncommon. In this day of technology, we were better off when the airlines did manual seat assignment with peel off stickers. Yes, I am that old. When you should up to the gate, you got your sticker assigning the seat. When they ran out of stickers, you were out of luck. Never heard of any problems.

Time to Become a Hindu by Jeff Thomas
*** begin quote ***
For centuries, East Indians have regarded gold as the primary source of wealth. All Indians own gold if they can afford to. They keep it as close as possible, sometimes in coin form, but often as jewellery, since “wearing wealth” means that it can be kept very close. They’re often especially reluctant to trust banks to hold their gold.
Hindus make up 80% of India’s population and, to Hindus, gold is sacred. Lakshmi (pictured above) is the Hindu goddess of purity, prosperity and good fortune. Her symbol is gold, so gold plays an important part in Hindu ceremonial occasions and Hindus donate large amounts of gold to the temples in Lakshmi’s name.
In recent years, the Indian government has tried one ploy after another to gain control of the temples’ gold. The most recent ploy was a programme whereby the temples could deposit the parishioners’ gifts to Lakshmi in banks. The gold would then be melted down and the temples would be given cash in an amount that would exceed the value of the gold.
*** and ***
As every Indian – even those of limited means – understands, the greatest protection from such looting by governments is to liquidate assets and convert the proceeds into precious metals.
It’s unlikely that the average westerner will become a Hindu, but, if he’s wise, he’ll acquire his own personal Lakshmi in the form of precious metals storage and he’ll do so outside of his home jurisdiction, in order to have even greater insurance against confiscation.

‘Enshittification’ is coming for absolutely everything
The term describes the slow decay of online platforms such as Facebook. But what if we’ve entered the ‘enshittocene’?
Cory Doctorow — February 8 2024
*** begin quote ***
Last year, I coined the term “enshittification” to describe the way that platforms decay. That obscene little word did big numbers; it really hit the zeitgeist.
The American Dialect Society made it its Word of the Year for 2023 (which, I suppose, means that now I’m definitely getting a poop emoji on my tombstone).
So what’s enshittification and why did it catch fire? It’s my theory explaining how the internet was colonised by platforms, why all those platforms are degrading so quickly and thoroughly, why it matters and what we can do about it. We’re all living through a great enshittening, in which the services that matter to us, that we rely on, are turning into giant piles of shit. It’s frustrating. It’s demoralising. It’s even terrifying.
I think that the enshittification framework goes a long way to explaining it, moving us out of the mysterious realm of the “great forces of history”, and into the material world of specific decisions made by real people; decisions we can reverse and people whose names and pitchfork sizes we can learn.
Enshittification names the problem and proposes a solution. It’s not just a way to say “things are getting worse”, though, of course, it’s fine with me if you want to use it that way.
*** end quote ***
AKA ENTROPY?
Just as things like uranium moves to lead, so to do all human systems.
Decay and death.

WAYNE ROOT: The Important Question Isn’t “Who is Replacing Biden?” The Life & Death Question We Should All Be Asking Is, “Who Is Running Our Country?”
by Assistant Editor Jul. 1, 2024 8:30 am
*** begin quote ***
First and foremost, “Who is running the country?”
That’s the question of the century. We now know it isn’t Joe Biden. It was never Joe. So, who is minding the store? Who has run the country for the past four years? Who is running the country right now? Who is making life and death decisions that affect the lives of every American?
Who is running our economy? Who is protecting our Homeland? Who is commanding our military? Who makes decisions about WW3? What if Russia or China attack tomorrow? Who is in charge?
Who has their finger on the nuclear button? Who will respond to a terrorist attack?
Who made the decision to leave our border wide open, and welcome in tens of millions of illegal alien foreign invaders? Who benefits from that decision?
Who decided to persecute Trump and rig trials against him?
Who made the decision to use the DOJ and FBI to persecute the J6ers and torture them in prison?
Who made the decision to force-vaccinate every employee in America through the OSHA mandate? Has Big Pharma bribed the whole government? Does Big Pharma run the FDA and CDC?
And if my prediction has been right from day one…and it’s always been Barack Obama giving the orders, making the decisions, and running the country as the de facto President of the United States…
We have an unelected, unConstitutional, “Manchurian Candidate” running America.
*** end quote ***
I agree that this is the MOST important question!
We know that Woodrow Wilson and FDR were infirm at the end of their terms and that wives were running things or were at least thought to be running things.
Time for a Constitution amendment establishing an upper age limit for politicians and bureaucrats.
I’d suggest that it’s the Social Security full-benefits retirement age! In addition to term-limits for every elective office.
Argh!

Time to Leave the Casino?
22 June 2024
By Jerry Stickman
*** begin quote ***
Over the years, there have been different versions of “man on the street” interviews. Typically, someone would ask a random person on the street a general question. This was done to get a feeling for what the general public felt about a topic.
I tried this in a few local casinos. Curious about what the average casino gambler felt about different aspects of casino gambling, I took the questions directly to them. I asked each of the gamblers several questions. This article covers the second question I asked them on the casino floor.
The question this time was “When is it time for you to quit gambling and leave the casino?”
*** end quote ***
Other than one time, she never went “broke”; that was the second time we went. After that she developed her “envelope system”. The same one she used for household expense just translated to gambling. After that disastrous trip, where we ran out by Tuesday, got a refill, and by leaving time on Saturday we were able replace the fill and was substantially ahead, it was time for a better system. She loved to gamble but hated to lose.
After that “lesson”, she would divide the gambling money into three envelopes per day — morning, afternoon, and night. If we tapped out during a session, that was it and we went and did something else. Otherwise, we’d put what was left back in the envelope and go to the next envelope. The morning we were leaving, she’s consolidate all the envelopes, return the original stake to an envelope for the next trip, and split the winnings. She was usually always very lucky; me not so much.
When people asked her why she continued to split with her “loser” spouse, she would always quickly reply: “I know the day I stop splitting, he’ll his the lottery for millions.”
I never did hit anything big, but she never stopped splitting.
Miss those good trips every time I see a casino advertisement.

The Future of Christianity
Jared Taylor, American Renaissance, June 21, 2024
*** begin quote ***
Will it help save white people?
Christianity is dying in the West. The religion that, for centuries, defined Europeans is increasingly becoming a Third-World religion. What does this mean for white people?
This is the article got me wondering: “Hundreds of Scottish churches up for sale as UK turns away from Christianity.”
*** end quote ***
It was killed by its own hand — pedophilia priests. And the Secular Progressive Gooferment used that to force “christianity” to accept all sorts of perversion. People didn’t leave the Church; the “Church” left the people. When the Church failed to fight Gooferment Skrules, it basically gave up the future. Instead of insisting that Gooferment had no role in “education” uncovering the real reason for its interest — Gooferment jobs and get the venue to dumb down the future citizens pushing the propaganda that the Gooferment is the “solution” to every problem. Instead of fighting for religious freedom, the Churches all knuckled under probably blackmailed by the pedophilia charge.
Interesting that we still don’t have Epstein’s Client List that could subject the Gooferment to its own criminal behavior!

The country where it’s still 2016
By Tamara Hardingham-Gill, CNN
Updated 9:18 AM EDT, Sun June 16, 2024
*** begin quote ***
On September 11, Ethiopians will celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of another.
However, when the East African country rings in its New Year in a few months, it will technically be 2017, according to the Ethiopian calendar.
So why is Ethiopia, Africa’s second most populous country, seven years and eight months “behind” much of the rest of the world? And how does that work for Ethiopians living on an increasingly interconnected planet that mostly operates in an entirely different era?
The answers lie in traditions that date back centuries – and a firm sense of national identity.
*** end quote ***
I found this most interesting. I’d never heard of “Ethiopian time”, but have heard of the Greek Orthodox and Muslim calendars.
I’ve blogged about suggested “new” calendars.
And even an “Indian time system”.
Unfortunately, “inertia” and human stupidity will prevent any meaning fun change.

Maine vacation home owners who poisoned trees obscuring stunning ocean views from their $3.5 million property are threatened with prosecution

A wealthy CEO who improved the sea-view from her $3.5million Maine vacation home by poisoning her wealthy neighbor’s trees faces fresh criminal investigation after paying $1.7 million in fines and settlements.
Amelia Bond secretly sprinkled four pounds of the lethal herbicide Tebuthiuron on trees belonging to Lisa Gorman in 2022, before offering to pay for their removal when they started dying.
Bond, former head of the $500 million St Louis Foundation, has since paid $1.5 million in compensation to Gorman after tests revealed her ploy.

The March of Dimes Syndrome
*** begin quote ***
In the spring of 1979, a few weeks after the partial meltdown of a nuclear reactor at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania, more than 65,000 people marched on the United States Capitol chanting “No Nukes, No Nukes.” As a young reporter at the Washington Star assigned to cover this new movement, I interviewed march organizers and noticed that all of them had previously organized protests against the Vietnam War. This struck me as curious: How had they suddenly become so passionate and knowledgeable about nuclear power?
I later learned that a term exists for this phenomenon—the March of Dimes syndrome—and that the tendency affects many other movements, too. Why, last year, did the Human Rights Campaign declare a “national state of emergency” for LGBT people? Why was the election of the first black American president followed by the Black Lives Matter movement? Why have reports of “hate groups” risen during the same decades that racial prejudice has been plummeting? Why, during a long and steep decline in the incidence of sexual violence in America, did academics, federal officials, and the #MeToo movement discover a new “epidemic of sexual assault”?

One really doesn’t think that a “charity” can go out of business? Like the Red Cross and United Way that have all those high paid executives! The Salvation Army doesn’t over pay its leadership; why should other charities?

Ancient Library in Tibet Creating Digital Archive of Its 84,000 Scriptures
By Regina Sienra on June 15, 2024
*** begin quote ***
Tibet’s Sakya Monastery is home to many wonders. Founded in 1073, its collection includes some of the oldest Tibetan artwork, as well as 84,000 ancient manuscripts and books. Given its remote location, the contents of this library may seem out of reach for international scholars. Luckily, in an attempt to preserve these ancient documents, the Sakya Monastery Library began digitizing its assets in 2011 and is well underway in its mission.
*** end quote ***
No one has any idea what “treasure” or “trash” can be found in this library. But preserving it ensures that The Future might learn from The Past. Given the advances in AI, who knows what dikw (i.e., data, information, knowledge, wisdom) is in this archive of human thought. It might take another 1,000 years to unlock it but “books” are the essence of the human experience. Maybe there is a cure for cancer, athlete’s foot, or just an inspiring poem. It’s important that it will be no longer “lost”.
