Our government agencies spend a ridiculous amount of money on even more ridiculous mascots.

You've probably heard of Smokey Bear and McGruff the Crime Dog, but now you can't unsee 🧵 Stare into the pupil-less eyes of the Dept. of Energy's "Green Reaper" — the creepy death recycler.

By the way, that reaper outfit was $4,900 plus taxes and shipping according to DOE documents.

Why are we sending billions to Ukraine?
A question 🧵 Why are we sending billions to Ukraine when the United States is trillions in debt?

(over $35T and counting, just by the way)

All the things now being blamed on climate change this year, a 🧵 Inflation, for starters

Google’s AI is helping people deal with depression by telling them to jump off the Golden Gate Bridge… why, out of all the billions of pieces of data on the Internet, would the AI choose that specific one to share do ya think? Since Google launched its new AI Overview on search queries, here are some more of its “hallucinations” (the polite term for “our AI sucks at its entire purpose for existing”).

Apparently parachutes are not more effective than backpacks when jumping out of a plane.

So it's an obvious money laundering scheme, but since when are they saying the quiet part out loud on Ukraine "aid" every chance they get? Openly admitting it's a war economy in a coordinated fashion? Like Americans should be grateful for proxy wars because jobs? WTF is this?? "We're investing in war because more war is jobs so future wars will have jobs for war for jobs because jobs are war because war is jobs."

What’s happening with migration right now isn’t just about a single election, and it isn’t just happening in the US.

Fertility rates have fallen well below stabilization in the majority of developed nations. BBC admits these countries have been using immigrants to boost population numbers, but that will stop when nearly every country on earth begins shrinking, which for some nations like China, Poland, Italy, Japan, Bulgaria and others has already begun.

"We will go from the period where it's a choice to open borders… to frank competition for migrants, as there won't be enough,” argues Prof Murray.

By the mid-2050s, world fertility rate is predicted to fall below 2.1, the number a population needs to replace itself and remain stable. All predictions show fertility will continue to drop for the rest of the century and beyond in the majority of the developed world (and much of the undeveloped world, too).

This is before we even get into infertility issues, which have also been on the rise. Last year the World Health Organization released a report that around 17.5% of the adult population – roughly 1 in 6 worldwide – are experiencing infertility. Unlike in the film “Idiocracy,” this is happening in low-income areas at about the same rate as middle and high income areas.

This isn’t population dropping and then eventually stabilizing. Even with a generous prediction, every projection model we’ve found shows population dropping and dropping and dropping with no stabilization in sight.

Governments with shrinking fertility are now working aggressively to increase immigration. For example, something called Century Initiative is pushing to increase Canada to 100M people by 2100 via a "massive increase in immigration".

P.S. - Chair of the Board of Directors at Century Initiative is Mark Wiseman, formerly Senior Managing Director at BlackRock, Global Head of Active Equities, Chairman of its alternatives business, and Chairman of BlackRock’s Global Investment Committee.

America's 9/11 vs. Israel's 9/11: A Thread of Similarities 🧵

To start, let me admit I would not be who I am today had I not watched the documentary "Loose Change" back in 2010. That time period is burned into my memory as massive floodgates of questions opened in my mind on the nature of reality as I knew it.

Now that the events of the past few weeks have transpired, it kinda feels like the whole world has been kidnapped and shoved into a time machine, dragged kicking and screaming back to 20 years ago or something. It seems like so many events are repeating in an eerily similar fashion. I figured I would start a thread here to present them, side by side, complete with dates and sources. I will add more as they occur.

This is for the record. The Basics

11 Sept 2001: Reportedly surprise attack where Islamist terrorists hijacked four commercial airliners and flew them into WTC 1 & 2 and the Pentagon, with the fourth crashing in a field near Shanksville, PA.

The media immediately, as in that same day, began focusing on exiled Saudi millionaire Osama bin Laden as the culprit behind the attacks, which the Taliban denied (The Idaho Statesman & The Modesto Bee, 11 Sept 2001).

In 2009 the WSJ asked, "Do you think this Star Chamber of Philanthropists is something to worry about or something to be grateful for?" Anyone remember what the Star Chamber was? Because this is not even a remotely cute reference to make, especially here.

The Star Chamber was the king's extrajudicial body increasingly used to enforce royal proclamations ala the king's prerogative (including taxation) in Britain. In other words, the Star Chamber was not bound by common law and operated outside of it. They were essentially a tribunal that doled out punishments for whomever the king wanted them to, including those who wouldn't enforce his bs taxes (see Charles I for more on that) and some especially disgusting corporal punishments against religious dissenters of the Anglican Church (like face branding, nose slitting, real nasty stuff).

Themes of the Star Chamber include: brutality (this word comes up a lot), abuse of power, and persecution. An oppressive state against a helpless individual. Our courts have referenced the Star Chamber when discussing the importance of the right against self-incrimination which was, in part, likely based on things just like this. Think Spanish Inquisition except guys in a room with stars on a ceiling and you're just about there. And again, all of this was outside the authority of the British Parliament.

It's beyond disturbing to just casually bring up the Star Chamber in reference to billionaires like Gates and Ted Turner meeting in secret to discuss topics including overpopulation. No one was "grateful" for the Star Chamber except the absolute monarch who claimed he answered only to God and the king's cronies operating outside common law.

From the article: “Mssrs. Gates, Buffett and Turner have been quietly worrying about Malthusian population problems for years. Mr. Gates in February outlined a plan to try to cap the world's population at 8.3 billion people, rather than the projected 9.3 billion at which the population is expected to peak.”

A billion less people… this was 2009. Consider a whole lot has happened since then.

A Conversation with ChatGPT on Conspiracy Theories

Me: Which conspiracy theories turned out to be true?

ChatGPT: While many conspiracy theories are false or lack credible evidence, there have been instances where conspiracy theories turned out to be true or where conspiracies were uncovered through investigations. Here are a few examples:

Watergate Scandal (1972): The Watergate scandal in the United States revealed a conspiracy involving government officials, including President Richard Nixon, to cover up illegal activities, including a break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters. Investigations by journalists and government agencies exposed the conspiracy, leading to President Nixon's resignation in 1974.

Tobacco Industry and Health (1950s-1960s): Conspiracy theories claiming that the tobacco industry knew about the health risks of smoking but conspired to hide this information were validated when internal industry documents became public. These documents revealed that tobacco companies had indeed concealed knowledge about the dangers of smoking.

MK-Ultra (1950s-1960s): The CIA's MK-Ultra program was initially a conspiracy theory until declassified documents confirmed its existence. The program involved mind control experiments on unwitting subjects and the use of various drugs and psychological techniques.

Iran-Contra Affair (1980s): The Iran-Contra scandal revealed a conspiracy to sell arms to Iran and use the proceeds to fund anti-Sandinista rebels in Nicaragua. Investigations led to the exposure and prosecution of several government officials involved in the conspiracy.

Operation Northwoods (1962): Although not fully executed, the declassified Operation Northwoods documents revealed a conspiracy within the U.S. Department of Defense to stage false-flag attacks to justify military intervention in Cuba during the Cold War.

NSA Surveillance (2013): The revelations made by Edward Snowden, a former NSA contractor, confirmed widespread surveillance programs by the U.S. government. This was initially regarded as a conspiracy theory until Snowden's disclosures were widely covered in the media.

These examples illustrate that while many conspiracy theories are baseless, some have turned out to be true when supported by credible evidence and investigative reporting. However, it's important to approach conspiracy theories with skepticism, evaluate evidence critically, and rely on reputable sources of information to separate fact from fiction.


Me: Are there more examples?

ChatGPT: Certainly, there are more examples of conspiracy theories that turned out to be true or where conspiracies were uncovered. Here are a few additional instances:

Operation Paperclip (1945): Operation Paperclip was a classified U.S. intelligence program that recruited Nazi scientists, engineers, and technicians, including those involved in rocket technology, as part of the post-World War II effort to gain an advantage in the space race and military technology. This operation was initially a subject of conspiracy theories but was later confirmed to be true.

COINTELPRO (1956-1971): The FBI's Counter Intelligence Program (COINTELPRO) was a series of covert and often illegal activities aimed at surveilling, infiltrating, and disrupting civil rights organizations, left-wing activists, and political dissidents in the United States. The existence of COINTELPRO was revealed through leaked documents and Senate hearings.

Gulf of Tonkin Incident (1964): The Gulf of Tonkin incident served as a pretext for the United States to escalate its involvement in the Vietnam War. It was initially portrayed as a North Vietnamese attack on U.S. Navy vessels, but later declassified documents and investigations revealed that some of the reported events did not happen as initially claimed.

Libor Scandal (2008): The London Interbank Offered Rate (Libor) scandal revealed a conspiracy among major banks to manipulate benchmark interest rates for financial gain. Investigations led to the exposure of this widespread financial misconduct.

Operation CHAOS (1967-1973): Similar to COINTELPRO, Operation CHAOS was a covert program by the U.S. government aimed at monitoring and infiltrating domestic anti-war and civil rights groups during the Vietnam War era. Its existence became public knowledge through investigations and congressional hearings.

Tuskegee Syphilis Study (1932-1972): The U.S. Public Health Service conducted an unethical study in which African American men with syphilis were left untreated and not informed about their condition. This conspiracy was exposed through investigative reporting and led to significant changes in research ethics.

These examples underscore the importance of critical examination, transparency, and investigative journalism in uncovering real conspiracies. However, it's crucial to distinguish between verified conspiracies based on evidence and speculative conspiracy theories that lack credible support.

This account "Historic Vids" says there is, "limited credible information to support such claims" the CIA had a heart attack gun. Here is a video of the 1975 Church Committee hearing where CIA Director William Colby himself testified and confirmed the existence of this gun.

The gun, developed under Project MK Naomi, used an electronic firing mechanism to silently shoot a dart made of frozen shellfish toxin. A high enough dose can completely shut down the cardiovascular system, causing the person's heart to stop as if they had a heart attack.

Lots of posts all over about how horrible everything is about to get with unfounded conspiracies foretelling imminent apocalyptic events from some TikTok account all set to take place this month or next… no proof whatever to back up anything being said, just one Hollywoodesque terrifying prediction after another. Not only are some people are poised for chaos and destruction, but they have embraced or are even hopeful for its inevitability. People would rather literally live in The Walking Dead than stay in the slow burn world with more of the same winding down as everything is now.

It’s now deemed “medical misinformation” to report on the fact that Kenyan bishops accused the UN of adding sterilants to tetanus vaccines in Kenya. We got our report on it removed. kccb.or.ke/home/news-2/pr… A statement, signed by all 27 Kenyan bishops, condemns the WHO/UNICEF tetanus vaccination campaign because they “are convinced that it is indeed a disguised population control program.” Here is what the bishops say:
