The Power of the Photograph:
When we share our photo albums w/ one another, our differences in language, culture, nationality, race & ideology melt away in the universality of our shared human experience. From North Korea here is:

Jin Hui’s Story: Album 1
threadreaderapp.com/thread/1420492…
2/Photo albums & video documentaries are powerful story-telling devises. The opening 35mm photo of a surfer at Big Lagoon Beach in the Part IV video of my recent camping-road trip👇(& others) was taken in 1987-88. How is my video different than Jin Hui's?
3/"Jin Hui's Story: Album 1", on the surface, is a concerted effort by Jin Hui, North Korean media & travel-tourism personnel & video arts specialists affiliated w/ the Party meant to make inroads into Western social media, inviting the public into viewing "Jin Hui's Story".
4/The video has great film direction w/ special effects beyond what I have on iMovie, segueing from 8 mm (special effects) visual & sound to the physical photo album w/ 35 mm photos to digital slides of Jin Hui and the places she visits. Naturally there'll be two camps divided on
5/the "authenticity" of the story-telling. I hope no analyst says: "In DPRK's latest form of propaganda - Photo Albums - a North Korean woman takes us on a tour of places in DPRK. We don't know if her name is actually Jin Hui, but we do know that this is obviously NK's newest
6/"form of propaganda...". Yet it doesn't even matter if "Jin Hui" is her real or stage name. She could be a North Korean actress & Jin Hui could be the name of the character she plays. And you cannot negate the realities of the places she takes you on a quick tour to see. They
7/are as real as the warmth of the timbre & tone of "Jin Hui's Story: Album 1" that has conquered Western hostility by making inroads into Western social media to say: "Hi! We are people from the DPRK. Get to know us & our country!" It's a Western-friendly creative film that
8/is intentionally ideologically blind, overlooking the past enmity of the Korean War & Cold War mind-set and trying "to make friends" w/ we of so-called liberal Western democracies. I embrace Jin Hui's Story wholeheartedly b/c I'd like to see those places & meet people like her!

North American Energy Trifecta: USA, Canada & Greenland |
President Trump should discuss with incoming Prime Minister Pierre Poilirvre a U.S.-Canada Union <USCU> a la the EU
x.com/CapeScott66/st… x.com/CapeScott66/st…
that will integrate the U.S. and Canadian economies (as discussed by Canadian Kevin O'Leary) and turn North America into the biggest energy powerhouse on Earth. Completing the trifecta is incentivizing Greenland's Premier Mute Burp Egede into breaking away from Denmark and
entering into the U.S-Canadian energy alliance, possibly forming a U.S.-Canada-Greenland Energy Alliance <USCGEA>. As outlined in the 👆 thread, the U.S. and Canada could build an LNG pipeline from Newfoundland to southern Greenland, where an LNG interchange will be built at the

THE QUESTION: Understanding Natalie Rupnow through the lens of her social media and manifesto, we know WHY and HOW she committed the mass shooting. Since she used a handgun, gun laws wouldn’t have prevented it.
Solving the problem of a mass shooting means answering the question: What was the genesis of the desire or reason that led the shooter down a self-destructive path that ultimately culminated in the mass shooting?
If you read her manifesto you’ll see the real tragedy is that in isolation she held these perceptions, feelings, attitudes & misguided world view. Natalie might only have needed a friend like Bob Dylan.

Vedic Astrology reveals Trump’s re-election was written in the stars. The U.S. Pluto Return 2024 is a cosmic reckoning, “a profound opportunity for the U.S. to confront its past, reassess its foundational values and undergo a significant transformation.”
Trump's Vedic chart reveals that his destiny was to be POTUS 47 during the U.S. Pluto Return and celebrate America's semiquincentennial anniversary. In other words he had to lose in 2020 in order to become President in 2025. Stir that into your coffee.🇺🇸✊
Furthermore, Harris's Vedic chart reveals she was set up for "a giant shattering of an illusion.”
So to recap: Donald Trump was destined to be our 47th President to usher in the transformational changes that will lead the USA into fulfill its higher calling. Image

It's a tug-of-war b/t the peacemakers and the warmongering Russophobes.
"The call which the Kremlin said was initiated at Orban's request comes a day after Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said his country would press ahead with its self-styled Ukraine "peace mission"."
How nationalist Viktor Orban took control of Hungary's economy
In office since 2010, when his country was gripped by a violent financial crisis, the ultraconservative prime minister has been pursuing an unorthodox economic policy.

President Trump will want to jump-start US-DPRK relations and resume the "Bromance", which should be celebrated, not ridiculed as the Democratic Party has repeatedly done. The goal should be accepting the
the DPRK as a limited nuclear state based on the premise that Korean reunification is an impossibility, an outdated 20th-century concept whose ship has sailed long ago. The DPRK will agree to limit its nuclear program in exchange for normalized relations

w/ the USA and being recognized as a nuclear state. It will also accept USFK exercises as a regional defense force under the Mutual Defense Treaty on condition that all exercises targeting the DPRK are terminated.
