Interesting how Jobs' widow has managed to escape nearly any blame when she in fact bears a large amount of culpability as one of the financial engineers of the Bay Area Doom Loop and the decline of the state at large

Netflix's Patty Quillin is on the same tier in terms of power and influence

Notable how (Soros aside) Gascón was installed as Los Angeles DA predominantly by wealthy Horsewomen

Quillin tried her utmost to kill Prop 36, which passed overwhelmingly and in every single county Image

A Florida court awarded the Mexican government a massive civil judgment against its former security chief Genaro García Luna—now serving a lengthy US prison sentence for taking bribes from drug traffickers

$748 million + $1.7 billion from his wife (!!)
apnews.com/article/mexico…
The trial didn't get anywhere near the amount of US media coverage it deserved, considering its implications

García Luna—Mexico's secretary of public security under president Felipe Calderón—had been working for the Sinaloa cartel while in office

"Mexico's Financial Intelligence Unit alleged that the money was transferred abroad through the use of tax havens and the acquisition of property and other assets in Florida."

The money awarded by the court is 3x the amount the Mexican govt had sought

Reading up on the history of how the US killed off its domestic rare earth/magnet industry and it's even worse than I thought
counterpunch.org/2006/04/07/the…Image
“This is America’s, and the world’s, Achilles’ heel, which China continuously exploits”

China now produces 90% of the world’s high-performance rare earth magnets; the United States produces practically none
nytimes.com/2025/06/02/bus…
“China could bring America’s automotive assembly plants to a standstill”

China now has a stranglehold that 1970s-era OPEC could only dream of—and the West walked right into the trap Image

*South Africa vibes intensify*

California has now arrived at the "infrastructure is being cannibalized" junction

Copper thefts have escalated at an alarming rate from ~500 cases five years ago to a staggering 6,842 cases—costing LA well over $20 million
dailynews.com/2024/02/14/la-…
“Train signals are being shut down because of metal theft, putting at risk a train full of people, all for the benefit of $20 to $30 worth of copper”

The cost to taxpayers will be $2.5 million to repair Sixth Street Bridge and bring the lights back on
dailynews.com/2024/02/14/la-…
The soaring rate of copper thefts has—along with a shortage of electricians—created a huge backlog of requests for streetlight repairs

Getting a city crew to repair a streetlight once took a few days, but now it takes months—and in some cases up to a year

It's important to grasp the level of zealotry involved in the Church of Progressivism

White SJWs will literally get *murdered*—and their circle of friends and family will still demand that the killer is released via "restorative justice"
eastbaytimes.com/2023/06/23/tee…Image
Denial of recidivism is a key tenet of the Church of Progressivism

What activist demands for "alternatives to traditional prosecution" & "restorative justice" translate to in the *real world* is offering up innocent members of the public as future victims
Contrary to some interpretations, white SJWs appear to be numb to the consequences of their policies (rising crime & bloodshed)

This is true zealotry

Not only will they die for their religion—but they will sacrifice their neighbors' safety to their god

"Somehow, Britain has adopted de facto blasphemy laws.

...In one town, a teacher had to flee for his life for the crime of showing a picture. In another..four kids were kicked out of school and showered with death threats for the crime of dropping a book"
thecritic.co.uk/britains-blasp…
"Today, Britain in effect has two sets of blasphemy laws. There is a de facto law protecting Islam.... And there are the more official hate speech laws protecting people’s identities"

What's the half-life for "widely dismissed as a conspiracy theory and censored/derided by the MSM" collapsing to "belatedly reported as news" nowadays?

Energy Dept concludes Covid most likely arose from a lab leak, according to classified intel report
wsj.com/articles/covid…
"The DOE now joins the FBI in saying the virus likely spread via a mishap at a Chinese laboratory... Energy Dept’s conclusion is .. significant because the agency has considerable scientific expertise and oversees a network of U.S. national laboratories"
wsj.com/articles/covid…
Every institution from mainstream media to Progressive-funded ostensible "fact-checking" orgs to—disgracefully—scientific journals were part of the same, coordinated Narrative Enforcement Mechanism
