TINFOILHAT: The Official 9/11 Narrative Is a Lie
Thursday, September 11, 2025The Official 9/11 Narrative Is a Lie
9/11 changed the course of history, but most Americans don’t know that fateful day’s real story. The establishment’s narrative is a complete lie.
- What actually happened?
- What did the government know?
- What did foreign governments know?
- A cover-up clearly occurred. Why?
Will we ever get the “truth”? I doubt it.
Some of the factoids that I find persuasive:
- 7WTC had evidence of fraud. It was destroyed.
- The only part of the Pentagon destroyed had the evidence of the missing $2.3 trillion DOD money.
- Saudi Arabians were flown out in the middle of the air travel grounding.
- Hijackers passports were found in pristine condition.
- Larry Silverstein didn’t eat breakfast, as he always did, at Windows on the World.
- Larry Silverstein took out insurance policies to cover terrorist attacks WEEKS BEFORE the 9/11 attack; he purchased the Twin Towers in July. Don’t you usual buy insurance before the closing?
- British press aired a report about the destruction before it happened.
- The dancing Jews in Hoboken were watching.
- The Arabs cheering in New Jersey was suppressed.
- Dozens of firefighters and medics reported hearing, seeing and feeling explosives going off in the buildings that collapsed.
- It was the first steel-framed high-rise ever to have collapsed solely due to office fires.
- Apparently the hijackers were incapable of flying planes in the way needed to crash into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon.
- Where is the Pentagon Security Footage?
- All three building collapsed straight down?
Sorry but the official report is a “fairy tale”!
IMHO

HEALTH: Time for a “death sentence” is in order for Big Pharma
Wednesday, September 10, 2025The mRNA Reckoning Has Begun
- Epidemiologist Nicolas Hulscher on the Kim Iversen Show
Nicolas Hulscher, MPH
Sep 03, 2025
*** begin quote ***
They may harm future generations.
Infant mortality, declining for 30 years, reversed sharply in 2021 shortly following mass mRNA uptake in childbearing age women. Babies born years later are now dying at a 77% excess rate
*** end quote ***
This to me is the single biggest STOP sign on mRNA “vaccines”.
Remember they redefined the word “vaccine” to cover mRNA. Bait and switch?
Who can forget Thalidomide? The birth defects showed up in the NEXT generation.
At the very least, to cure basically a bad “cold”, we’ve made ourselves “lab rats” for Big Pharma.
It seems that regulatory capture has run its course, and that the “death sentence” is in order for Big Pharma. And Nuremberg trials for the politicians, bureaucrats, Pharma executives, doctors, and any medical personel found complicit in this “medical disaster / time bomb”.
Argh!

POLITICAL: Tina M. Peters deserves better; “What you do when no one is looking defines your character.”
Tuesday, September 9, 2025Tina Peters’ Open Letter to President Trump from Prison One Week Before Her 70th Birthday
Guest post by Martel Maxim
Dear, Dear Mr. President,
As I sit here in this cell (and notice I didn’t say “my cell” as nothing I have here is mine and can be taken at any time), I’m reminded to be grateful and how blessed we are as a nation, as well as how fragile liberty is.
I am grateful for the multitudes praying for you, this country, and I am humbled to say for me as well.
I long for the day I can be free to continue to fight for the foundation of our society:
Free, fair, transparent elections.
One week from today on September 11th, I will be 70 years old. Never in my life of 35 years of marriage, a business owner for 32, home schooling my two children, with a Navy SEAL son and a marine husband, did I ever imagine I would end up in prison for following the law and doing what was right.
This should scare every citizen of this country. It shows how close we have come to losing this nation and our liberty that so many before us died to protect. But God chose you Mr. President, and each one of us that will rise up and answer the call.
Your good friend, Peter Ticktin, has requoted my standards for those that have once been close as a part of the story in my life. I’ve always said “if one could be swayed by four things: money, power, position, or fear, they can be compromised. What you do when no one is looking defines your character.”
When I used to speak to audiences about the globalists and compromised ones that wish our great nations demise, I would often say “everyone can do something. There are more of us than there are of them. They can’t get us all.”
One day when I was telling my story of not knowing if I would die from the lung cancer that took a third of my lung, I looked up to heaven and said “Lord, if this is my time I’m ready…but you know my prayer!”
I then repeated my life’s prayer to him which is:
“Don’t let me leave this earth until I’ve accomplished everything you sent me here to do.”
At that split second, I knew I was going to live. He has more for me to do. That was in 2016, the same year I walked door to door talking to anyone and everyone for you tirelessly from morning until night. And when it got dark outside, I’d be helping others on the phone calling for the vote.
As a business owner, I knew we needed you to become our president. I never wavered, even when there were 17 candidates. God has his protection over you, as you know, and we are all grateful you took his call. He prepared you for this, and he has prepared me for this.
Nevertheless, I’m ready to be released because the midterms are close. I feel like a racehorse held back by the starting gate. We don’t have much time. We cannot allow the continued selection of governors, secretaries of state, attorneys general, and fraudulent passage of blils and laws because of the voting machines I exposed. I want to finish the job we started.
I cannot allow Jena Griswold to be the attorney general of Colorado, or crooked Phil Weiser to be the governor, and many more need to be displaced in this state, country, and in many nations across the world because the voice of the people has been stolen.
The rally cry of God’s chosen people to stand up and step forward has never been greater.
Please set me free to champion that call to the people. Use my voice, the reason they put me in prison, to be the clarion call. I didn’t raise a Navy SEAL for nothing.
I love you, your family, and this great country.
Thank you.
Gratefully yours,
Tina M. Peters

TECHNOLOGY: It’s just fraud — like shrink wrapped licenses — labeling long-term rentals as purchases.
Monday, September 8, 2025Words matter
The fight against labeling long-term streaming rentals as “purchases” you “buy”
- New law emboldens complaints against digital content rentals labled as purchases.
Scharon Harding – Aug 29, 2025 5:51 PM
*** begin quote ***
Words have meaning. Proper word selection is integral to strong communication, whether it’s about relaying one’s feelings to another or explaining the terms of a deal, agreement, or transaction.
*** and ***
Often, streaming services like Amazon Prime Video offer customers the options to “rent” digital content for a few days or to “buy” it. Some might think that picking “buy” means that they can view the content indefinitely. But these purchases are really just long-term licenses to watch the content for as long as the streaming service has the right to distribute it—which could be for years, months, or days after the transaction.
A lawsuit [PDF] recently filed against Prime Video challenges this practice and accuses the streaming service of misleading customers by labeling long-term rentals as purchases. The conclusion of the case could have implications for how streaming services frame digital content.
*** end quote ***
I think the “high water mark” is when we bought CDs with the belief that we could always have the content.
I got burned buying content on cassettes and 8 tracks. Then having to buy the “content” when the player were sent to the technology equivalent of the Google Graveyard.
This is just another instance of the same fraud all over again. And again. And again.
If they said “buy”, then they have stuck themselves with a “deal” they had no intention of fulfilling. To me, that’s fraud!

GOVERNACIDE: Fatal shot was the EUA form not the approved Comirnaty shot

Toxic Exposures
Breaking: Federal Court Reopens Case of 24-Year-Old Who Died of COVID Vaccine-Induced Myocarditis
- A federal court today reopened a lawsuit against the DOD filed by the family of George Watts Jr., a 24-year-old college student who died from complications of COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocarditis. Watts believed he was getting Pfizer’s fully licensed Comirnaty vaccine, but instead received the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine authorized for emergency use.
by Brenda Baletti, Ph.D.
August 29, 2025
*** begin quote ***
FDA had approved the Pfizer Comirnaty vaccine on Aug. 23, 2021 — and his second dose on Sept. 17, 2021.
However, the hospital gave Watts the emergency use authorization (EUA) Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, not the licensed Comirnaty shot, because the DOD didn’t make the FDA-approved vaccines available to the public.
*** and ***
According to the lawsuit, the DOD “capitalized on a quintessential ‘bait and switch’ fraud,” using the fact that Comirnaty was FDA-approved to bolster its claims that the Pfizer-BioNTech EUA vaccine was “safe and effective,” misleading the American public in the process.
COVID-19 vaccines are classified as a “covered countermeasure” under the PREP Act. The act prevents anyone injured by a vaccine that was authorized during a public health emergency from suing the vaccine manufacturers or those who administer the vaccines.
However, there’s one exception — if the person who was injured can prove that the vaccine maker or the person who administered the vaccine engaged in “willful misconduct.”
*** end quote ***
Bottom line: The man is dead and only by quirk does the issue come before a judge.
Who in their right mind would EVER allow Big Pharma to have such an immunity free of liability?
This has been one big mess brought to you by the Gooferment paying off their donors in Big Pharma, Big Medicine, and Big Hospitals.
Informed consent goes out the window when there is Big Bucks to be made.
The Gooferment is immoral, ineffective, and inefficient. As well as untrustworthy.
This is an exhibit for that,

HEALTH: Why hasn’t this been more widely know? Money!
Saturday, September 6, 2025Vaccine-Autism Link Ascertainable By Case Studies
- Population-wide statistical analysis can be manipulated and it often misses the complex reality of individuals.
John Leake — Aug 29, 2025
*** begin quote ***
Likewise, Dr. Jon S. Poling, (formerly at the Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery, Johns Hopkins Hospital) and and Dr. Robert Zimmerman were not imagining things when they published their paper, “Developmental Regression and Mitochondrial Dysfunction in a Child with Autism” in which they described the case of Hannah Poling (Dr. Poling’s daughter).
*** and ***
Though it was initially concealed from the public, the U.S. Court of Federal Claims acknowledged that Hannah Poling’s profound autism had indeed been caused by the battery of vaccines she received at the age of 19 months.
The extraordinary intrigue and skulduggery of the U.S. government’s conduct in the Poling case is presented in our new book, Vaccines: Mythology, Ideology, and Reality.
*** end quote ***
Why hasn’t this been more widely know? Money! Big Pharma is legally immune to lawsuits. Time to revoke that immediately.
All the politicians, bureaucrats, corporations, executives, doctors, and researcher should be made PERSONALLY responsible for this disaster.
I empathize with the poor baby and her family. This should be headline news any time the word vaccine or autism is mentioned.
At the very least, there needs to be a reasonable interval between shots.
Argh!

JOBSEARCH: The alternative to being “Quietly Fired” is “Quietly Quitting”
Thursday, September 4, 2025‘The Hope Is That You Will Eventually Quit’: Experts Reveal the Signs That You Are Being Quietly Fired Are you a target of this passive-aggressive management tactic? Here are the signs.
By David James Aug 14, 2025
*** begin quote ***
- Quiet firing involves employers intentionally treating an employee so badly that they leave.
- A recent HR study of 1,000 managers found that 53% engaged in it.
- Some of the signs of quiet firing include the removal of resources and responsibilities.
A passive-aggressive form of management is making headlines: quiet firing, the practice where bosses make working conditions so unpleasant for an unwanted employee that the person leaves on their own accord.
*** and ***
3. Being left out of meetings. Being cut out of communications and planning for upcoming initiatives is the biggest red flag that you are being quietly fired, the experts told USA Today.
*** and ***
… … keep a record of everything — save emails and request feedback in writing, and keep all of this documentation on a personal computer. As the experts point out, quiet firing isn’t necessarily illegal, but it is if it is tied to discrimination or workplace retaliation.
*** end quote ***
<< Maybe I should begin a thread on “Job Employment Self-Defense”?>>
With all the emphasis on AI and “replacement by H1B’s”, the average “salaryman” (to steal a Japanese concept) should be on alert and taking steps to secure their continued employment (i.e., a steady paycheck).
My old advice still has value:
Success for your generation is: (1) ruthless financial discipline — no bad debt; (2) a life long interest in learning — education — a degree — they can’t take it away from you; (3) a NON-OFFSHORABLE white collar job in order to save big bux; (4) a blue collar skill for hard times — never saw a poor plumber; (5) one or more internet based businesses — your store is always open; (6) a free time hobby that generates income; and (7) a large will-maintained network of people who can “help” you.
BUT, (and there is always a BIG butt), now there is a new survival imperative.
(8) creating value both inside your current job and outside of it as well.
INSIDE, might take the form of careful observation of the bureaucracy around you and what could be eliminated, condensed, transformed, or enlarged. Don’t be afraid that you will be eliminated. If you find it out, then someone else will too. Be motivated.
OUTSIDE, it could be taking your dikw (i.e., data, information, knowledge, wisdom) to another employer or competitor. You should have all YOUR stuff duplicated off-site lest you get surprised and walked out.
<<When I was on Wall Street brokers used to keep a “shadow book” at home. Often then they were fired and walked out, they were contacting old clients before the Firm had even a replacement in place. One fellow’s wife was his at home admin assistant and started before he was even out of the building. That’s being prepared.>>
In summary, remember that the alternative to being “Quietly Fired” is “Quietly Quitting” aka being prepared and executing your pre-departure actvities.
Forewarned is forearmed. (Or is it FOUR armed?)

HEALTH: What fact can we “tease out” of just that single factoid?
Wednesday, September 3, 2025Sudden deaths, incapacitations soar among COVID-jabbed airline pilots: report
- Since 2021, deaths of ‘younger’ airline pilots have risen markedly, long-term disabilities have surged, and near-miss incidents at airports have skyrocketed.
Doug Mainwaring — Mon Aug 25, 2025 – 4:22 pm EDT
*** begin quote ***
“Something happened in 2021” that has jeopardized air travel safety, according to a disturbing report by Dr. Kevin Stillwagon, a retired airline pilot and immunology expert.
Mounting evidence points to the COVID-19 vaccinations that airlines, acting under pressure from the U.S. government, mandated or otherwise coerced their cockpit, cabin, and ground crews into taking.
*** end quote ***
You don’t have to be an epidemiologist to look at subsets of the population and draw reasonable inferences.
Pilots dying and incapacitated in far larger numbers than the historical average.
What fact can we “tease out” of just that single factoid?
It’s reasonable to blame the Covid 19 “vaccine” and just on that basis alone stop allowing it. Certainly not mandating it or even recommending it. Maybe some careful investigation MIGHT need some testing. But there would have to be a lot of safeguards and planning for adverse impacts.
Similarly we can see from the Amish that there is some connection between autism, which is virtually nonexistent in the Amish community (as is obesity), and something we, in the general population, are doing. First thing that comes to mind is vaccination.
Based on that alone, we should be suspending most if not all vaccinations until we establish safety as a prime directive.
Remember the Nuremberg requirement for informed voluntary consent for ALL medical actions!

ConspiracyTheories: Is the East Palestine, Ohio, train derailment, a chemical disaster covered up by Governor?
Tuesday, September 2, 2025Trump v. Leftist Crime, Homelessness, & Poverty
Aug 25, 2025
*** begin quote ***
We also discussed the East Palestine, Ohio, train derailment, a chemical disaster covered up by Governor Mike DeWine’s Ohio EPA. Environmental scientist Scott Smith’s tests revealed dangerously high dioxin levels, contradicting the EPA’s claims of safety. Rather than investigate, the EPA surveilled Smith, tracked his movements, and shared his personal information, including photos of his dog, among 50+ employees. This aligns with reports of manipulated soil data by Norfolk Southern and the EPA, shielding corporate liability at the expense of public health. Rumors of intentional derailment and political profiteering persist, though hard evidence remains elusive, just more conspiracy theory… or something like that.
*** end quote ***
Certainly hasn’t gotten much attention. And, why the Gooferment’s emphasis and attention on ane critic?
Surely there must be one honest independent journalist with a chemistry lab connection that can establish some evidence? Or will this be like countless other disasters that have been “swept under the rug”?
Do we have to wait for the bodies to pile up like with the Covid mRNA “vaccine” or the hospital is filled with babies suffering from Thalidomide birth defects?
Hope not!

GOVERNACIDE: Are Canada’s “assisted suicide laws nothing more than “eugenics” nothing more than murder by Gooferment
Monday, September 1, 2025https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15031627/Canada-euthanasia-newborn-BABIES-disabled.html
Terrifying new details of Canada’s advancing assisted suicide laws… including push to euthanize newborn BABIES
By GERMANIA RODRIGUEZ POLEO, US CHIEF REPORTER
Published: 10:02 EDT, 25 August 2025 | Updated: 10:25 EDT, 25 August 2025
*** begin quote ***
Canada’s assisted suicide laws have continued rapidly expanding in recent years, with a group of doctors now pushing for disabled newborn babies to be euthanized.
The demand for euthanasia is so high that doctors who provide it cannot keep up, according to a new report by The Atlantic.
Assisted dying, legalized in 2016, now accounts for about one out of 20 deaths in Canada, far surpassing countries where it’s been legal for longer.
*** and ***
Canada’s road to allowing euthanasia began in 2015, when its top court declared that outlawing assisted suicide deprived people of their dignity and autonomy. It gave national leaders a year to draft legislation.
The resulting 2016 law legalized both euthanasia and assisted suicide for people aged 18 and over, provided they met certain conditions.
They had to have a serious, advanced condition, disease, or disability that was causing suffering and their death was looming.
The law was later amended to allow people who are not terminally ill to choose death, significantly broadening the number of eligible people.
Critics say that change removed a key safeguard aimed at protecting people with potentially decades of life left.
Today, any adult with a serious illness, disease, or disability can seek help in dying.

The Return of Eugenics
By Robert Weissberg — August 25, 2025
*** begin quote ***
If one word is guaranteed to enrage the woke mob, it is eugenics, a term conjuring up images of Hitler, the Holocaust, white supremacy, and sterilizing the feeble-minded. Yet, despite the odium surrounding “eugenics,” it is, paradoxically, making a comeback thanks to medical advances, not the rise of right-wing ideology. Vast sums are currently being invested in firms to promote eugenics, but the term “eugenics” is never uttered.
Recent newspaper stories recount how parents employ cutting-edge scientific advances in genetics to have the best possible children while avoiding deadly genetic defects like cystic fibrosis. A New York Post story – “Silicon Valley Parents Spend Thousands to Screen Embryos in Search of ‘Baby Geniuses’” — recounted parents spending upwards of $50,000 to screen embryos to discover one with the best genes for intelligence prior to fertilizing it, and then via In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) implanting it in the woman’s womb. The Post story mentions two intelligence screening start-ups — Nucleus Genomics and Heraslight — both funded by major Silicon Valley entrepreneurs.
A particularly successful illustration of this new eugenics is Orchid Health headed by Noor Siddiqui with thousands of clients thanks to its 100 U.S. clinics, a figure that doubled from the previous year. Given the complexity of human genetics, Orchid Heath’s claims to use as few as five cells from the mother’s embryo to develop a “polygenetic risk score” to predict a child’s future chances for some 1200 single-gene disorders plus more complex polygenetic illnesses such as bipolar disorder, cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease. According to its mother, one of Elon Musk’s children was from an embryo screened by Orchid Heath and, at Musk’s request, the embryo was screened for intelligence (the firm does not usually screen for intelligence but will do it on request).
*** end quote ***
As gun-owning pro-life pro-choice little L libertarian, I find this deplorable. And, interesting that two stories come to light on the issue from different authors and perspectives.
Are we so full of hubris that we can be like the ancient Aztecs, who sacrificed children to appease their “gods”. What “god” are we appeasing?
Often I see uplifting stories about “disabled children” who grow up and have “good” lives.
And, how do these babies give their “informed consent”? Or those with confirmed “mental illnesses”?
Sorry but this is murder or maybe even genocide when you take into account abortions!
My favorite analogy or metaphor is what if we are killing the “golden child”?
https://reinkefaceslife.com/2010/02/26/political-right-to-life/
*** begin quote ***
My greatest fear is that we will kill “the Golden Child”. In Will Crowther’s Colossal Cave Adventure game, if you killed the bird in Cave #7, you never could proceed past the snake in Cave #11. (Although it was funny to see smart engineers trying “stuff” when it was impossible to proceed.) What if the potential person that’s killed is the next Salk who will cure cancer, the next Hawkings who will explain the Universe, or the next Mother Teresa who will comfort untold number of sufferers?
*** end quote ***
If we “believe” that all humans have “rights”, and we can argue about when those rights INURE to any person (i.e., conception; birth; when they can assert them; when they can fight for them), when does our civil society recognize those rights?
Sigh!
Otherwise we are nothing more than talented savages existing in a “might makes right” world.
The Nuremberg Code is a set of ethical principles for human experimentation established after World War II, emphasizing the necessity of voluntary consent and the moral obligation to protect human subjects in research.
And today’s medical professionals are transgressors and should be hung too.

Law graduate Leticia Paul dies at 22 after routine CT scan
By Richard Pollina — Published Aug. 25, 2025, 3:05 a.m. ET
*** begin quote ***
A young, thriving Brazilian lawyer tragically died after suffering a severe allergic reaction during a routine CT scan.
Leticia Paul, 22, suffered an anaphylactic shock on Wednesday while undergoing a contrast-enhanced CT scan at Alto Vale Regional Hospital in Rio do Sul, according to G1.
The fatal reaction was triggered by the contrast dye injected before the scan.
*** and ***
Anaphylactic shock is a sudden and life-threatening allergic reaction that can cause airway constriction, throat swelling, a sharp drop in blood pressure, and other severe symptoms, according to the Cleveland Clinic. Urgent medical care is needed to avoid fatal outcomes.
*** end quote ***
This is so sad. No indication that anyone did anything wrong.
I guess that the treatment guidelines will need to be revised for (I assume) first time dye recipients?
So young.

PEACE: Cynicism is the only sensible response to the Nobel Peace Prize

Trump and the not-so-noble Nobel
by Jeff Jacoby — August 19, 2025
*** begin quote ***
Which is why it’s futile to get worked up over the Trump boomlet. If Oslo decides to indulge his lobbying and flatter his vanity, it will not mean he deserves the accolade any more than Obama deserved his prize in 2009 or Arafat his in 1994. It will mean only that the Nobel committee has once again done what it so often does: confused politics with principle. Trump’s critics will rage, his admirers will gloat, and history will judge the man by what he actually does, not by what the Norwegians proclaim. In the end, cynicism is the only sensible response to the Nobel Peace Prize.
*** end quote ***
At the risk of “pile-ing on”, I agree that BHO44, and whole host of others, don’t deserve what has become a “political powder puff”.
AI sourced a snarky quote about the French Revolution:
Ah, the French Revolution—proof that sometimes it takes a century or two to realize that chopping off heads doesn’t always lead to a better government. But hey, at least they had a great time with the guillotine!”
Wish it could have given the source.
Why don’t we see the “clay feet” of these supposedly great “peaceful” characters?
Maybe we just don’t give enough time for history to weigh in on their “achievements” or lack of them.
Maybe like saints, we need a devil’s advocate to mount an adversarial position.
I think most politicians and bureaucrats would be found “lacking”.
The last fellow I thought deserved recognition was Schindler as portrayed in the movie. They are few and far between.
Sigh!

HEALTH: So why is RFKjr excoriated for his being an “anti-vaxer”? Anyone remember thalidomide!
Friday, August 29, 2025BREAKING: CDC Child Death Records Indicate Severe Transgenerational Harm of Mass mRNA Vaccination
- A new analysis of CDC data by The Ethical Skeptic shows children born following mass mRNA vaccination of mothers are dying at a 77% excess rate.
by Nicolas Hulscher, MPH — Aug 21, 2025
*** begin quote ***
A new analysis by The Ethical Skeptic of CDC/NCHS death certificate data using Deviation from Trend (DFT) analysis reveals a disturbing development: a sharp, sustained rise in infant and child mortality among those who neither had COVID-19 nor received the vaccine, but whose parents were previously exposed to mRNA injections.
The evidence points to two risks—teratogenic effects during pregnancy and transgenerational epigenetic effects passed through germline biology. Together, they raise historic concerns about the long-term impact of synthetic mRNA technology.
*** end quote ***
Anyone remember thalidomide? I do.
The adverse effects of a “morning sickness” drug given to expectant mothers was found to cause birth defects in their children.
https://www.mayoclinicproceedings.org/article/S0025-6196(11)62157-5/fulltext
*** begin quote ***
In the United States, the drug was never approved for marketing, thus averting a major tragedy. Thalidomide initially was denied Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval by Dr Frances Kelsey, who reviewed the new drug application and had concerns about the lack of safety data.7 Dr Kelsey was instrumental in preventing the drug from being marketed in the United States. Once the teratogenic properties of the drug were known, the application for FDA approval was withdrawn. Dr Kelsey subsequently received the President’s Award for Distinguished Federal Civilian Service from President John F. Kennedy.

So why is Rfkjr being excoriated for his being an “anti-vaxer”? Isn’t he pointing out that the mRNA “vaccines” have not been adequately tested?
I don’t understand how one bureaucrat is lauded for holding up a drug and another is criticized for basically doing the same thing?
Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: FEMA Now Requires Disaster Victims to Have an Email Address
Thursday, August 28, 2025FEMA Now Requires Disaster Victims to Have an Email Address
Molly Taft — Aug 20, 2025 7:00 AM
*** begin quote ***
Workers at FEMA worry that demanding disaster survivors access services using email could shut out people without internet connectivity from receiving government aid.
*** end quote ***
Argh!
Of all the ivory tower elitest ideas, this one takes the bobbly prize!
Guess that rules out the Amish. Oh yeah, they are the ones that come and provide aid quickly and don’t require an email id.
DJT4747 should hear this bone headed idea!
Guess next they should have the latest iPhone too. Argh!
I guess in lieu of an email they could use Citizen#<insert ssn>@usa.gov?????
Argh!

LIBERTY: Road to hell is paved with good intentions

A License for That?
- Will online safety cost us our digital liberties?
Jake Scott
Published in Personal Liberty – 5 mins – Aug 11
*** begin quote ***
The impacts of a two-year-old law are finally being felt in Britain—and, as the United States looks to pass its own Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), it should watch the unfolding situation with fear.
The Online Safety Act (2023) was passed by the previous Conservative government under Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. But the legislative process began in February 2022, under Sunak’s predecessor-but-two, Boris Johnson. Implementation was delayed for an extensive period of time, largely due to controversy and logistics surrounding the law. The Office for Communications (Ofcom) laid out a roadmap for enforcement in October 2024, a full year after the law was passed.
As is usually the case, a law steeped in respectable aims—protecting children from harmful content—has rapidly revealed itself as a nefarious tool of control.
Nobody wants children to view pornographic content. That is hardly a controversial position. Yet so often the tools of authoritarianism are sold under the guise of protection. The echoes of Benjamin Franklin’s warning against sacrificing a little liberty for a little temporary safety ring louder in the Internet era; what was once the digital Wild West has become sanitized, watched, and regulated. And lurking behind the existence of the law itself is the question of who is actually responsible for the content that children view online—the government, the platforms, or—as seems to have been forgotten—their parents?
*** and ***
Almost the exact same week as the law implementation, the UK saw widespread protests and near-riots in towns such as Epping and Diss, and even in cities like Leeds. These demonstrations, largely led by mothers and local residents over the sexual assault and harassment of young girls by asylum seekers and refugees in nearby hotels, quickly spread, and are still bubbling away in small towns.
Not that you would know this. The Online Safety Act has enabled censorship of footage of such protests on major platforms like X, on the basis that the footage could incite harm or encourage violence. This is not without precedent—the Arab Spring was considered to be the first “digital revolution” due to the role social media played in the spread of the revolution across the MENA region.
*** end quote ***
Here we have it. Start from a “good intention” and suddenly we are at “Unintended Consequences”!
Nothing like a “one size fits all” “solution” that just happens to be useful for the Gooferment desire to censor the “news”. Argh!
Of course that’s just a convenient “coincidence”. Yeah, right!
“I’m shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!” Captain Renault in Casablanca
What we see in the UK must not be allowed to “infect” “our” (as if they respond to use as opposed to their donors) politicians and bureaucrats with “good intentions”.
I don’t have solutions but I can see problems when the Gooferment strays outside of its limits.
Maybe “children seeing porn” is a problem for parents to solve?

SECURITY: Does Uber know who’s really driving?
Tuesday, August 26, 2025https://www.ericpetersautos.com/2025/08/11/why-ride-hailing-is-not-as-safe-as-you-think/
Why Ride-Hailing Is Not as Safe as You Think
By badger – August 11, 2025
*** begin quote ***
Even with driver photos and license details, identity fraud is possible. Some drivers rent accounts or share them illegally. That raises big safety questions. Safety becomes an illusion when systems are not properly enforced. You might not know who is actually behind the wheel. This illusion affects both riders and drivers alike. When safety is marketed more than it is practiced, everyone loses in the end.
*** end quote ***
I know that Uber has updated their app with a code you give the driver and you get a photo of the driver. I thought that would be enough.
BUT, (and there is always a BIG butt), the “renting” and “sharing” of accounts shows a monkey wrench into their system.
Maybe they should require you to take a picture of the driver that then Uber can use AI to confirm who’s really driving?

RECOMMENDED: I am moving from LASTPASS to BITWARDEN
Monday, August 25, 20255 password managers you should use instead of LastPass
- Tired of security scares? Ditch LastPass and switch to a password manager you can actually trust.
By Karandeep Singh — August 17, 2025
*** begin quote ***
Bitwarden is my default recommendation to anyone looking for a reliable password manager. It has everything you’d expect from an app built to handle your most sensitive data. Its free tier is one of the most generous out there, it’s available across platforms, and it even offers self-hosting if you’re feeling adventurous. The premium individual plan costs just $10 a year — an easy recommendation for the extras it brings.
Even if you stick with Bitwarden’s own servers for storage, you know your data is safe because it’s open source and independently audited. Plus, migrating your data from LastPass is a breeze using the included tools. The interface might not be as slick as its pricier alternatives, but it’s perfectly functional, and its safety upsides far outweigh any minor aesthetic caveats.
*** end quote ***
I agree.
What more needs to be said?
One “feature” that’s a negative is that if you rerun an import, then you’ll gt duplicates. With no easy way to delete except one at a time.
Argh!

TINFOILHAT: Was the FBI Behind the Oklahoma Bombing?

Was the FBI Behind the Oklahoma Bombing?
By Janet Levy — August 19, 2025
*** begin quote ***
It has always been hard to believe that the truck-bombing of the A.P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995, which killed 168 people, including 19 children at a daycare center, was planned by just one or two perpetrators acting alone. However, the official story states that the mastermind was Gulf War veteran Timothy McVeigh, and that the two others sentenced with him only helped him in various ways.
Right from the start, warning signs indicated that the investigation was being misled. The FBI developed a story claiming that a group called the Patriots Movement, which included anti-government extremists and white supremacists, was responsible for the attack. However, the agency also appeared to be trying hard to hide something. Consider these facts:
Twenty-four eyewitnesses saw a man with McVeigh just before the bombing. The FBI referred to him as John Doe 2 but later dismissed the idea that such a person existed. None of the witnesses who saw John Doe 2 were called to testify.
At least eight people connected to the investigation — including a brave police officer who was a first responder — died under mysterious circumstances, five of them reportedly by suicide.
*** end quote ***
Too many “suicides” and the FBI’s track record for “entrapment” seems to make this credible. The ATF’s entire office “out of office” on that morning also is a giant red flag. Considering that all the facts were never given a proper hearing and that there is some connection to HRC and White Water investigation. Seems to me that there is enough smoke to suspect a fire.
Argh!
Checking the Conspiracy Theorist “thermometer” (i.e., Conspiracy Theory Taxonomy and Ruler Type and Veracity) says:
It’s Governmental and should be considered “More likely than not”.
Argh!

GUNS: A burglar shot and killed … on parole

Burglar shot and killed by mother protecting her baby during home invasion is identified – and his past is terrifying
By MARYANN MARTINEZ and JIMMY MCCLOSKEY, US DEPUTY HEAD OF NEWS
Published: 14:19 EDT, 18 August 2025 | Updated: 18:13 EDT, 18 August 2025
*** begin quote ***
A burglar shot and killed by a mother as she hid her baby in a closet during a home invasion was a serial criminal who’d only recently been freed from jail.
Shelby Hurd, 36, died last Tuesday after being blasted in the head with a bullet while entering the unidentified mother’s home in Joliet, Illinois.
Patch reported that Hurd was only freed on parole in February this year over a slew of previous burglary convictions.
*** end quote ***
Sadly some people never change or learn. Guess he can be nominated for a Darwin Award. Does not say if he was a “father”. It does say a lot about the Illinois prison and parole system. As a felon with multiple convictions, parole should NOT be considered.
As far as the lack of a “stand your ground” law in Illinois, I’m not surprised given that it is a “blue state”. The criminal must be afraid of the citizen. That can only happen when people have the means of “self defense”.
“This may be considered as the true palladium of liberty. … The right of self defence is the first law of nature: in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest limits possible. Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any colour or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction.” ~ St. George Tucker 1803
Remember if having guns in civil society was a problem, given the number of guns and gun owners in the USA, we’d known it.
“An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.” — Robert A. Heinlein
