Does Ukraine even have all these supposed "$500 billion dollars" worth of rare minerals?
There was an article on ZeroHedge within past weeks credibly questioning this.
All of this is political theater; there's a reason why Russia has been insistent on Ukrainian elections as a prerequisite / core item for any treaty.
I don't know if that'd explain not only a sharp but sustained drop compared to preceding years' trends, but it's a fair take even if I'm skeptical about it.
We do know that concentrations of spike protein has been observed in the ovaries and sterility is one of the concerns brought up during the vax rollout.
Time will fix this (edit: lack of data/correlation), but I agree that there isn't enough supporting evidence at the moment in comparison to other negative effects (including death, of course)...or if there is, I haven't been paying enough attention at least.
TheDonald / Patriots mentioned this is one of the EOs on removing affirmative action from federal government, but hasn't hit the website yet - https://x.com/awprokop/status/1881903218231320589
I didn't read the post but it has this section as mentioned by a user there, assuming the text's accuracy:
(iii) A plan of specific steps or measures to deter DEI programs or principles (whether specifically denominated "DEI" or otherwise) that constitute illegal discrimination or preferences. As a part of this plan, each agency shall identify up to nine potential civil compliance investigations of publicly traded corporations, large non-profit corporations or associations, foundations with assets of 500 million dollars or more, State and local bar and medical associations, and institutions of higher education with endowments over 1 billion dollars;
Does seem credible given the obvious suspicion around why various companies started to hide "drop" DEI policies immediately prior to New Year's.
I like your anonymous tip line suggestion. Fuck these socio-political bureaucratic rats.
Really hope there's a way to make some of these EOs permanent and not invariably reverted by the next presidency or presidencies.

This agreement has been teased for a long time now, with the "defense and security" part being of interest given the continuous wars orchestrated by both elected and unelected officials.

Thank God that we have Bill Gates looking out for all of us. And we barely hear about all of the excellent food research he's been involved in, or the vast swarths of farm land that he bought up in recent years, likely in relation! Tons to look forward to.
On topic but not Gates: the Japanese have been busy producing sa-mRNA aka "replicon" vaccines if you haven't heard about them.
I certainly hadn't until recently:

...but it is a thing that merits watching. Substack seems to have better coverage on it.
We surprisingly didn't get 2024 lockdowns, but the world of science never stops aiming to delight us in exciting ways. Happy New Year!
Not a bad guess, but China - https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/apple-offers-rare-iphone-discounts-china-amid-intensifying-huawei-competition
Their AI upgrade appears to be globally panned all the same.
FWIW the debt comment is derived from one of the ZH commenters and skimming some graph after searching thereafter.
In the world of modern day politics, this is simply good business. That's why companies like Blackstone did so in 2017 - https://www.opensecrets.org/trump/inauguration-donors
...yet many, it turns out, did not because they are retarded.
Coming back to a modern day note, Apple is getting fucked hard due to a certain country (guess who?) opting for Made-in-China alternatives to the iPhone. Trade war will not help the Apple stock...and one day, neither will the large amount of debt they've apparently accumulated over the years.
Tagging for future reference.
Kanon ● May have been quietly blocked from releasing in the west, developer randomly released an update for the Japanese version that added English as an option
More developers need to do this. This is probably for the SE Asian market rather than the West, but both benefit.
Ken Akamatsu, the mangaka of Love Hina and Negima! series', successfully was elected on the platform of protecting creative freedom in Japanese culture (especially anime, manga and games).
I don't know what he has done so far, but this type of stuff in his purview and others that successfully pushed otaku angles in their electoral candidacy. I hope they do their jobs; DLSite, DMM/Fanza, and others are some that have not bent yet (hopefully never), despite the pressure among numerous angles including alternative credit cards and PayPal.
You should have uBlock Origin installed irrespective of its efficacy on YouTube ads, but as others have said, it's extremely rare to see ads slip through. (It's amazing for websites like Spotify as well.)
Google has been losing the war against ad blockers badly, to the point that they're going to strip away features from Chromium itself. Unfortunately, that is going to impact other Chromium-based browsers as well: Vivaldi is 100% confirmed, and Brave is likely to fall in line.
uBlock Origin Lite is the current proffered alternative for that scenario, but I imagine it will be extremely inefficient, and using a FireFox fork (Pale Moon, Water Fox, etc.) will be the best route.
He's on the record that he will forego the re-elected term - https://www.zerohedge.com/political/matt-gaetz-says-hes-not-returning-congress-next-year
She certainly knows how her bread is buttered.
Before she hitched with the Trump wagon, she was associated with Romney, 100% supported the witch trial against Zimmerman, allied with corrupt DA Angela Corey, is an experienced lobbyist, and considers Israel America's "greatest ally" (MIGA).
I see why Trump likes her with their long history, but I have my doubts; the only non-mercenary positives I've been able to tease out was that she was tenaciously against gay marriage per Florida's constitution, and fought against Obamacare.
Looking to be proven wrong on overall sentiment. Never thought Gaetz would get approved given his past controversies, but I did anticipate a stronger fight for theatrical reasons if nothing else; maybe someone like Paxton would have been a good 2nd choice.
I don't know about the veracity of tactical nuke, but even though it has been reported as a drone attack, many question that premise. Speculation is that it was a missile of some sort, and highly likely NATO supplied.
Regardless, people keep questioning whether current trajectory will lead to WW III when the reality is that it has already started for some time (by design) and Russia will undoubtedly bring the conflict to U.S. territory if even indirect American assistance leads to damage within Russia; the degrees of separation are not really relevant to their nationality existential interests if long-range missiles are supplied, as repeatedly stated throughout the war and emphasized in the last few weeks.

Sheriff Ric Bradshaw says that because Trump is not the sitting president that he is not given complete perimeter protection, even though someone shot him just a couple months ago
He said if Trump was president then law enforcement would take protecting him more seriously
This topic has been mentioned here before, notably at the beginning of 2023, but this is just a periodic reminder that it doesn't matter if you avoid the vax, fast food, or other types of poisons.
Just like weed killer, insecticides, fluoride, etc., you will be fed as your masters wish willingly or otherwise, with awareness or deception, and you will learn to "accept" it.
...says the Zionist genocidal neocon who is "draining the swamp" while simultaneously setting up the MIC 2.0.
Case in point: likely what will end up being an unlimited budget for an ineffective American version of the "Iron Dome" forthcoming.
Point out the mindless MIGA crap on this forum and you get accused of being a Kamala supporter. On par with the brainless modern day politics.
