My final part for today, incl. REMINDERS about WHOM I pissed of BESIDE #FCKNZS-Clowns who use @MartinSellnerIB like a sock-puppet with their fists up his arse 🤡 actually it turned out that them muppets were the LEAST of my problems and I cannot be sure of their involvement with
THREATENING WOMEN AND CHILDREN! But I know I pissed of at least SOME of those people who either work at or are connected with those I talked about in this thread f.e.:
RTO GmbH & MRDA Media GmbH plus the conglomerate of "weird" looking companies, RTO GmbH
RTO GmbH & MRDA Media GmbH plus the conglomerate of "weird" looking companies, RTO GmbH
& MRDA Media GmbH are both owned by a Robert Meyer. The names Sabine Meyer as CEO & also at one point a Wolfgang Titsch is mentioned. As I said previously, I do NOT accuse any of the mentioned names and not even the companies of anything in particular, BUT shit happened because
🧵Return of the Walking Earmarks: A Deadly Epidemic🧵
1/ After a decade-long moratorium, Congress has reverted to “congressionally directed spending”—the polite, new name for pork-barrel projects subtly slipped into must-pass bills with almost no review or opportunity for debate
1/ After a decade-long moratorium, Congress has reverted to “congressionally directed spending”—the polite, new name for pork-barrel projects subtly slipped into must-pass bills with almost no review or opportunity for debate
2/ Earmarks are sold as “only 1% of spending,” but that 1% creates a corrupting process that helps perpetuate $2 trillion annual deficits
Let’s talk about why they’re so toxic ok

3/ Legalized Vote “Purchasing”
Members trade votes on massive spending bills for pet projects back home
“You vote for my bridge to nowhere, I’ll vote for your turtle tunnel”
It’s not about good policy
It’s about buying votes with taxpayer money—all to make politicians look good

So with full acknowledgement I am not an attorney but have read plenty of comms between the DOJ and defense attorneys--this exchange between Jocelyn Ballantine, who is not a party in the civil lawsuit filed by Dan Richman, is too close for comfort.
This should be an adversarial relationship, not "hey let me see what I can find out for you."
It is a little problematic to see Ballantine, as deputy chief of national security division for DC US attorney's office, answer Richman's lawyer in such a friendly manner when he's clearly trolling for an answer about filing a temp restraining order to prevent DOJ from using Richman's records in a criminal proceeding:

Aside from the first name basis of the emails--which I am sure many defense attorneys envy--the proper answer, I assume, if "file your motions" not "let me see what I can find out from my higher ups planning to prosecute your client."
All that's missing it a heart emoji

I apologize for the choppy screenshots but I want to eliminate email addresses etc.
"Mark" is another attorney representing Richman.
Why so accommodating? This should not be the correspondence between a DOJ seeking to reindict Comey and his attorneys. Especially since Ballantine has no current involvement in the case.

With another spliff inhaled, let's go. After I made fun in the "interweb" about those ridiculous muppets, the #FCKNZS with the "HOLY" lettering across their chicken breasts 🤡 got lost in 'scaryness' - I reminded just WHAT kinda pussies those trash @MartinSellnerIB surrounds
himself with nowadays (no fuking clue, if they even connected, there are all kinds of neonazis trash, who gives a damn, they all the same garbage) and when during the years since the "Baseballschlägerjahre" (them had been way tougher) they lost their balls, I came to the one
conclusion that it COULD have to do with incest maybe? No idea actually, just a shot in the dark ofc - I am a troll remember? So I trashed all that scum who think the neonazis buidling their shit on #O9A are the most "dangerous" ppl 🤡 and told them that I prepared for that shit
NEW: Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov effectively rejected seven points of the US-proposed 28-point peace plan on December 11, including the original plan’s points on territorial swaps based on the line of contact and the provision of reliable security guarantees for Ukraine. 🧵(1/3)
Lavrov’s December 11 statements indicate that the Kremlin is unwilling to accept the original 28-point peace plan but that Russia will instead demand further modifications should Ukraine agree to it.
Lavrov’s effective rejection of key elements of the 28-point peace plan is consistent with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s November 27 statement that the 28-point plan could be the basis for future negotiations, but not a final agreement in itself.
Senior Kremlin officials, including Putin, have similarly rejected key points of the 28-point plan in recent weeks.

2/ MORE: The Kremlin claimed that Russian forces seized Siversk as part of the Kremlin’s intensified cognitive warfare effort that seeks to portray Ukraine’s frontline as on the verge of collapse, and Russian battlefield victory as inevitable. Neither is true, and the Russian seizure of Siversk is unconfirmed as of December 11.
The Kremlin is attempting to portray the claimed fall of Siversk as the start of the battle for Slovyansk — a battle the Kremlin has not set conditions on the ground to begin.
Putin’s December 11 meeting is part of a pattern of senior Russian officials aggrandizing claimed battlefield victories in the past several weeks to create the false perception that the frontlines are collapsing to push the West and Ukraine to capitulate to Russia’s demands. ISW continues to assess that the frontline in Ukraine is not facing imminent collapse.
Russian forces are only making tactical gains across most of the theater.

Let me try to sum up, why climate change denial, or minimization, is a lost cause. Those who deny it, or deny what a threat it is to humanity, do so because they don't want the system to be changed, to address the climate and ecological crisis.
1/🧵
1/🧵
This is a lost cause, because the single action, which will cause the most radical change to our system, is trying not to change our system, to address the climate and ecological crisis. Doing this will collapse our civilization. Change can't be more radical than this.
2/
2/
Ironically, making radical changes to our current system, business as usual BaU, will actually produce, the least radical and adverse change. Those who deny or minimize climate change, can't get their head around this. They naively believe they can prevent radical change.

Finally high as a kite^^and in the right mood to continue, simply because it gets really disgusting from now on, so here a kind of disclaimer: when I realized just how fucked up & ruthless the creeps I pissed of had been (or some still are) AND I am NOT even talking about the
#FCKNZS scum here, the ones @MartinSellnerIB surrounds himself, NO! I am talking about CREEPS who make money of keeping people under control by THREATENING their WIFES and KIDS and won't blink for a second, killing those even! So naturally I was so furious, that I wrote into the
vast space of the internet AND darknet a message that contained sth like the whomever gets a fukk of that particular crowd into their fingers first, may it be the police (the better solution, because the law) OR others - who might not be so kind - should JUST make sure to squeeze
🧵The Republic Failure Pattern: Observed across every collapsed republic in history
This is not ideology or opinion. Every republic-to-empire transition in recorded history follows the same structural breakdown.
Different cultures. Similar sequence.
If you study Rome, Athens, Venice, France, Weimar Germany, the British Empire—the pattern does not change.👇

1/ Loss of a shared civic definition
The population can no longer agree on:
• what citizenship means
• who the state exists for
• what obligations accompany rights
Once identity fractures, law becomes contested.
Example: In the late Roman Republic, citizenship expanded rapidly without a shared civic ethic, turning Roman identity from duty-bound membership into a contested political instrument.

2/ Law shifts from principle to instrument
Legal mechanisms remain intact, but:
• enforcement becomes selective
• process substitutes for justice
• outcomes are justified procedurally, not morally
This precedes legitimacy collapse.
Example: During the late Roman Republic, emergency laws and prosecutions were selectively applied through proscriptions, reducing law from a neutral standard to a factional weapon.

That was an unusual call: I just got off the phone with Tina Peters’ attorney Peter Ticktin. He had not heard this news until I read him the president’s post over the phone. His reaction: “Freaking fantastic”
Peters’ conviction is a state one, not federal… (1/x)
Peters’ conviction is a state one, not federal… (1/x)
Presidential clemency is understood to apply to federal crimes. I asked Ticktin why he thinks this pardon is legal or will break precedent.
"The Constitution really needs to be read and understood" through "the eyes of the founders and what did they mean when they wrote it."

I asked Ticktin about the fact that Colorado Gov. Polis has said he will not pardon her or transfer her to another prison - and what happens next. He responded: "Let's see if they take that position. I'm hoping that they won't for many reasons."
🚨 Powell Confirms QE Starts December 12th. Here’s What It Means for #Bitcoin & Altcoins 🚨
The Fed just quietly restarted QE but they’re calling it something else.

✅The economy is weakening.
✅ QE officially begins on December 12th.
Powell avoided the word 'QE', but the Fed’s statement makes it clear: the balance sheet starts expanding again next week.

2/x Unemployment ticked up from 4.2% → 4.4%.
That small change forced today’s 25 bps cut and signals the Fed is shifting toward a full easing cycle.
But the cut itself was already priced in at ~89% probability.
The real story today wasn’t rates, it was liquidity.

His attack on Venezuela is also part of this strategy.
What few appreciate is we were warned by an excellent researcher a few years ago. But the scheme seemed so far fetched it got no traction.

ZEDEs
These are mostly deregulated areas that operate outside of the legal system of the nation in which they are housed.
ZEDEs threaten law and order, remove protections of citizenship and pretty much permit anything goes.
