summary: Phillip Graves is 1. an asshole and 2. very American so here's some headcanons about him.

pairing: Phillip Graves x himself (fucking narcissist)

warnings: SWEARING

a/n: lol I have a love hate relationship with Graves so this was fun to write (like I wanna kiss him but also punch him in his stupid pretty face)

He was on the Homecoming and Prom Court in high school and he ATE THAT SHIT UP

He also was voted “Most Handsome” in his yearbook

Joined the Army purely because of the glory he saw in Top Gun (he picked a different branch because he couldn’t handle the Navy training)

Was pissed when he saw Glen Powell in Top Gun: Maverick

For weeks his Shadows heard him complain that they based the character off of him

Loves pickle back shots (whiskey followed immediately with pickle juice)—something Price finds revolting

One time, made his Shadows get him Chik-Fil-A because he was craving it abroad

Speaking of which, he’s such a pussy when trying new foods—any spice will immediately put this man on the toliet

Always smothers his food in ranch dressing

Cool ranch Doritos? RANCH. Pizza? EXTRA RANCH. Mac and cheese? RANCH MIXED IN!

“Happy Independence day, you colonizing fuckers!” he exclaims whenever he works with soldiers over the seas (and it just happens to be the 4th of July)

If he’s at home, just know he’ll be chilling in an American flag tank top from Walmart and drinking a Natty Light

Plus he’ll be launching fireworks all night long so hide your dogs

His home? You might ask. Well, picture a mansion tucked away in either Texas or Wyoming with that Western Cowboy aesthetic

Even though he’s very Mr. Americana, he secretly buys French perfumes and Italian suits (but will always stand by a “Made in America” tag)

Just looks like he has a good face routine but DOES NOT moisturize his body (if he does it’s because he’s getting laid and is ashy)

He heats up hot water in the microwave and uses one of those Lipton tea bags Ghost almost shoots him

Definitely competed in one of those “All you can eat hot dog” contests

Also proudly shows off his award winning “Wet T-Shirt contest” photos

“Sweet Home Alabama” can never be played for the 141, they get war flashbacks of Grave’s playing it prior to the Dark Water mission

Confident that he could’ve played a better Ken than Chris Evan’s in the new Barbie movie

Got one of those terrible barbed wire tattoos when he was fresh out of bootcamp to look cool to his new army brothers

Also just know if he wasn’t in the Army, he’d be going to the University of South Carolina and be in one of their top frats

But while in the Army, he used the fact that he would be deployed oversees to bring women (and his Tinder dates) in

Reusable bags? HAHA never for Graves, he doesn’t get why he has to bring one in or buy one for ¢15

Will either buy the stupid bag or carry everything in his arms like an idiot

I also just KNOW this man doesn’t recycle

When he goes to New England, he makes a big fuss on how they can’t make sweet tea

Finally, he just RADIATES Ford F-150 or a Jeep with no doors energy

🔥 Why a Zombie Outbreak in the U.S. Would Fail Embarrassingly Fast – Thanks to the Second Amendment 🔥

💀 Hollywood loves to pretend that the U.S. would collapse in a zombie apocalypse. 💀 Reality? The outbreak wouldn’t last a f*cking week. 💀 Why? Because Americans have more guns than common sense—and that’s exactly why we’d win.

🚨 The Second Amendment (Ratified Dec 15, 1791) guarantees Americans the right to bear arms. And guess what? We have taken FULL advantage of that sh*t.

1️⃣ The U.S. Has More Guns Than People (Bad News for Zombies)

✔ There are an estimated 400 million privately owned firearms in the U.S. ✔ That’s more guns than there are people (330M). ✔ Even if half of the population got turned into zombies, there would still be enough firepower to put them all down.

🔥 The zombies aren’t the apocalypse—the American people are.

2️⃣ Rural America Would Become an Instant Zombie Death Zone

💀 Do you really think zombies are making it through Texas, Montana, or Alabama? 💀 Zombies don’t have body armor—every redneck with a rifle is about to go target practice mode. 💀 Hunting season just got a whole new category: "Undead Buck Tagging."

✔ Rural Americans already stockpile ammo for fun. ✔ They already have survival skills, hunting tactics, and backup generators. ✔ Zombies can’t strategize—good luck getting past 8 million deer hunters with .308 rifles.

🚀 Final score: Country boys – 1, Zombies – 0.

3️⃣ Every Gas Station, Gun Store, and Walmart Would Turn Into a Fortress

✔ Good luck breaking into a Bass Pro Shops full of angry, armed civilians. ✔ Every gas station in the South has a shotgun under the counter. ✔ Your average red-state Walmart has enough supplies for a small f*cking army.

🔥 The Walking Dead lied—society wouldn’t collapse. It would reorganize into local, well-armed militias within 48 hours.

4️⃣ Zombies Wouldn’t Survive a Military Response

💀 National Guard & Military bases have more ammo than most countries. 💀 Tanks, drones, and attack helicopters make zombie hordes obsolete. 💀 Every military vet with a gun is about to go full John Wick.

✔ The U.S. military has been training for mass combat scenarios for decades. ✔ Unlike humans, zombies don’t shoot back. ✔ One AC-130 gunship could wipe out an entire city’s worth of undead in minutes.

🚀 If zombies take over the world, it’s because America LET it happen.

5️⃣ Urban Centers Would Get Wrecked—But That’s a YOU Problem

💀 Yes, major cities would be in deep sh*t… temporarily. 💀 Why? Because most city dwellers don’t own firearms, survival gear, or even enough food for a week. 💀 But once the suburban and rural gun owners show up, the cleanup begins.

✔ Suburbs would fortify themselves almost instantly. ✔ Zombies wouldn’t make it past the first HOA meeting before getting clapped. ✔ The National Guard would reclaim cities within weeks.

🔥 Liberal gun-control states would get wrecked first. Red states would still be barbecuing while stacking zombie bodies.

🔥 Final Verdict: A U.S. Zombie Outbreak Would Be Over in DAYS

✔ Too many guns. ✔ Too many hunters. ✔ Too much military firepower. ✔ Too many angry rednecks who’ve been WAITING for an excuse to shoot sh*t.

💀 Hollywood lied. America is the FINAL BOSS of any zombie apocalypse.

🔥 REBLOG if you’d survive longer than your soft, unarmed neighbors. 💬 COMMENT if you know a place that would be zombie-proof. 🚀 FOLLOW for more reality checks on fictional dumb sh*t.

World News Roundup for February 2025

World News Roundup for February 2025

1. Economic Headwinds Mount for Western Economic Systems

The US president has been acting quickly to stave off massive breakdowns in the American Economic ecosystem.  A bevy of tariffs have been both implemented and threatened, along with an impressive array of executive orders and internal cuts.  25 percent and 10 percent additional tariffs have been levelled at China and Bharat respectively, RT News reports.  Recently, US manufacturing data revealled a larger than expected manufacturing collapse of 0.9 percent, sitting American manufacturing at a five year low, SRN News reports. The costs for production has continued to skyrocket, putting finished goods beyond the pricepoint of citizens.

Americans are simply not buying and high interest rates ensure that the world isn't able to buy either.  As America has begun to pivot from its "Iron-clad" support of Kiyv, the Ukraine president predicts his military offensive could not last beyond a 6-month threshold without US military spending, Al-Jazeera reports. Western states like the US are reaching for the rafters to find a way to save what is left of their economies ravaged by the Ukraine Conflict, sanctions, economic malfeasance, Sino-derisking and the endgame theory of empire.

Germany's car industries continues to tank as the US overtakes China to be Deutschland's top trade partner, AP News reports. Germany's new government is hoped to save what is left of the economy.  Even still, new power pricing overhauls threatens production, Bloomberg L.P. reports. Farmer protests have also continued across Western Europe and UK as new laws and international trade agreements eat into livelihoods.  Even Bulgaria has pushed back against Brussels with protestors storming EU Offices in opposition to the use of the Euro, as the Eurozone becomes a less viable market,  Times of India reports.

US farmers also remonstrated after USAID Suspensions cut into their profits to supply the Global South through "aid programs" that amounted to a major commercial market, Los Angeles Times reported. The move demonstrates that Western agribusiness deeply relies on food insecurities in the Global South and food aid programs for survival.  Walmart, one of America's top retailers has forcast poor growth amid major economic uncertainty,  restructuring, a DEI rollback consumer boycott and pending tariffs that could slash future profits, Market Watch reports.

2 USAID Claims of Terror Funding Echoed By Global South States Receiving Aid.

An American lawmaker has reportedly affirmed that USAID, the US State Department agency tasked with supplying aid to foreign interests, has engaged in supporting terrorists, MSN reports. In an interview with Arise News, a member of the Anti-Boko Haram taskforce in Nigeria revealled that villagers testified to "white men" in helicopters dropping off guns, supplies and other aid in terrorist occupied areas.  A method used widely in Black American neighborhoods in the USA, where boxes of guns were dropped off for local gangs during the Latin American Drug Wars that devastated local communities during the American Crack Epidemic. 

The funding cuts come at a critical time in Africa where externally-funded mercenary groups have begun ravaging disperate parts of the region. NTV Kenya reports that local police have recently put down a skirmish by the Oromo Liberation Army in Marsabit and Isolo counties. This comes in the wake of Nairobi hosting Sudan RSF leaders in the organization of a plan to further balkanize Sudan. 

The balkanization of African states has been a critical formula in the neocolonial strategy post independence. Puppet/Proxy dictators have been key in leading "tribalized' rebellions that act as deep cover for balkanization projects that lend easier access to resources and exterminate and relocate populations from key mineral rich areas for external corporate or foreign interests. It is reported that M23 the rebel group destabilizing the mineral rich regions of the Democratic Republic of the Congo have invaded as far as Bukavu, further pushing out certain populations.  CGTN is reporting also the presence of Ugandan troops, a nation among those who received comparable US Aid.

The critical situation has pushed DR Congo leadership to direct meetings with AES member Mali for strategy and support.  The resurgence of mercenary armies and rebel groups reflect the destabilization in the Western socioeconomic landscape that needs immidiate results and resources for survival.  It is important to note that both DRC and Sudan were significant recipients of USAID "support" before its suspension. Somalia, Ethiopia, Syria, Jordan, and Afghanistan are also top recipients.  Ironically, almost all destabilization hot spots in Africa and West Asia received the bulk of USAID funding, including Uganda and Mozambique, Newsweek reports.

3. Iran to Become Most influential State in West Asia As Influence and Innovation Grows

Recently, Iran reported that it had launched over 10 Satellites in 2024, Mehr News Agency noted.  The move underscores Iran's growing dominance in the area of technology, space and aeronautics as well as military artillery with hypersonic weapons and state of the art drone technology. 

China's massive DeepSeek revelations demonstrated that the world may be far more advanced than postulated in popular theory and mainstream media.  Iran not only demonstrates its capacity through its facility with these technologies and innovations, but that It has the capacity to be a leader in West Asia even under sanctions outside of the Western economic system.

The rise of Iran as a major financial, energy technological and military leaders in the Middle East would eclipse the limited means of Saudi Arabia in its stagnating relationship with the West.  As the West becomes less viable to the world, the function of Saudi Arabia in the Middle East and Africa will dissipate. Saudi will have to think fast to reinvent itself. Further skirmishes and conflicts in Africa and West Asia will simply not be enough. The balance of power is undoubtedly tipping away from the Arab world toward the Persians and other West Asian factions in the MENA region.

Many Arab groups in the Islamic world have been content to broker deals with the West and manage relationships with African, West Asian and Southeast Asian states and factions for decades. However this influence has begun to wane. The breakdown of Western powers coupled with the overabundance of "Islamic jihadist" mercenary groups has left an unpleasant taste in the region. Harvesting grounds in Africa and West Asia for poor, destitute, war aged-young men will evaporate under better governance and socioeconomic stability promised by new regional and world blocs and alliances.

More states are moving toward sovereignity,  stability and economic independence able to weather economic downturns. And states like Iran, Russia and China demonstrate that this can be done even as development continues. Being outside of the Western sphere of influence leaves less and less to be desired to remain in it, especially as the inflated dollar eats up international FX reserves. Not only has dedollarization becone attractive for even the staunches US allies, but also economic re-fortiification away from the traditional core post World War II bloc.   This lessens the need for Arab "middle men." BRICS has opened the door for other plans of regional, fiscal organisation and cooperation. It appears Iran is fast becoming the future of the Islamic world.

4.  Upheavals, Political Tensions and Chaos Grip West's Asia Allies

In an unprecedented moment in Philippines history, its Vice President was impeached for a host of unproven allegations, AP News reported.  The impeachment is being challenged in its highest court as the embattled executive seeks reinstatement for the unfounded charges.

The VP was unpopular among Philippines leadership rather than popular consensus because she accused the president of being a US puppet to help contain the regional superpower. Just recently, the Philippines was involved in yet another South China Sea confrontation with the Sino state vessels/ aircraft, AP News reported.  The ongoing confrontations and collissions were unheard of before the US began patrolling the waters and recruiting allies to contain Beijing.

The political turmoil roiling US Asian allies has come in the wake of its containment strategy growing more fierce and confusing over time.  Still, local populations and lawmakers push back against unmerited regional discord. South Korea is among the states grappling with political upheavals as its own president sought to deploy martial law and put the nation under the authority of the milirary, which the US jointly controls via a Korean War treaty. 

Asian states that often skew more politically pragmatic have remonstrated against the attempts to leverage their state in proxy against China.  Many, including Taiwan see Ukraine and its unfortunate leader as a cautionary tale of paradise lost and betrayal.

The Philippine leader was criticized for her stance regarding the South China Sea which she rarely supported the pro-US president 's anti-China stance. A stance that had left him with a low 2024 approval rating, but reportedly better numbers in 2025, Philstar reports.  While US Asia ally leadership has been compliant,  its citizens have voted a more neutral position.

Japan has also struggled to maintain the US containment policy as it has been forced to sacrifice the future and economic stability of the state and its own people to remain in conference.  Just recently, Japanese steel-maker, Nippon was blocked by even its liberal Democratic allies in Washington from a US Steel acquisition. Still, Tokyo has had to sell $61.9 billion dollars in US Securities to survive as it slips in key indicators, as US treasuries buying fell again in Q4 2024.  Both Korea and Japanese tech stocks plummeted after the DeepSeek reveal in early February.  While Asian partners have sought to placate Western allies, losses continue to mount.

5.  US-Rossiya Talks Focus Ukraine Future and Sanctions in Saudi Arabia

An important step toward dissolution of the Ukraine Conflict took place in Riyadh, in Saudi Arabia.  Attended by the US and Rossiya, ministers gathered to hammer out a deal as the Ukraine proxy has begun to collapse.  Kiyvs unelected president's approval rating has been questioned as lawmakers protested the premiere in parliament, RT news reports.  

However even as Kiyv begins to fade, EU leaders unveiled a new round of sanctions against Rossiya, AFP reported.  The EU has been presented to be at loggerheads with Washington on how best to wrap up the Ukraine conflict. Sanctions have backfired in the Eurozone and UK and those states have grappled to reconfigure to a war economy.  The military industrial complex has helped to keep the bloc afloat even as other industries shutter. 

It will be difficult to balance shutting down the war effort with saving massively damaged economies in advanced stages of deindustrialization. US News reports that Germany has just voted-in a new government with significant far-right leanings as other large EU economies struggle to balance budgets and stave off economic collapse. 

While more loss is inevitable, Washington and Brussels must decide which will weather the brunt of that loss.  Such a decision will likely impact the fortunes of the US, Eurozone and UK far into the future.  So the decision must be deliberate.  Without question the US hopes removing Rossiya sanctions will delay the BRICS pivot and save the US dollar.  It has become clear that the world is preparing a new socioeconomic front, so the US must move quickly   The Eurozone will likely have to be the sacrificial lamb to buy the dollar more time.

6.  Latin American Gangs Now Designated as Terrorist, As US Agribusiness Opportunities  Dry Up

Weeks before the US inauguration in January, Americans reported seeing unidentified drones in the sky, The Independent reported.  Apparently,  Mexican citizens also witnessed UAVs circling the skies during a similar period, Reuters reported.  In January and February the Mexican government allowed the deployment of two US UAV reconnaissance missions.  Since that time the Mexican government has confirmed the deployment was at their request and more US UAV flights are scheduled with the CIA, the AP reports.  While the general news was focused on immigrant flights, the US designated gangs as terror groups and struck down a policy that prevented US officials from bribing foreign governments. 

The changes were significant because it changes designations for how the US battles internal and external gangs.  This means gangs in the United States, Haiti, Mexico and Latin America have been re-classified as terrorist enemy combatants.  This brings with it the use of the military industrial complex and the offensive means executed in war conflict.  Such offensives directly effect production, development and growth which could effect China's ambitions in Latin America and US regional hegemony.

Additionally, the re-classification makes it possible to house domestic and international gang members in extra-state facilities and detention camps like Guantanamo Bay.  The Salvadorean president who has aligned himself with Washington has offered his CECOT prisons as holding and detention cells for "gang memebers,"  FirstPost reports.  In late 2024, US-Backed factions of the Sinaloa Cartel/Gang kidnapped a rival member for extradition to the US for trial, El Pais News reported. While the feat broke all international law, it underscored the savage fight for power growing in Latin America.   The US is hoping to hold on to its leadership in the region and gangs play an important role in supporting or undermining those goals.

These developments also illustrate that US citizens might also become targets of US military or police surveillance via UAVs.  For weeks, the Biden Administration remained mum on the sightings until the new government confirmed that the drones were authorized, BBC reports.

Latin America will doubtlessly become a battle ground as it, like West Asia and Africa present fertile development opportunities. As US agricultural fortunes dry up, the need for cheap agribusiness labor has evaporated. Even the Mercosur deal will not provide the lift Latin America can get supplying the BRICS and supporting more complex manufacturing capacity from Asia's largest economy.  China has been keen to incentivise these regions while Russia asserts itself as a capable military partner for states seeking stability and an end to destabilization and forever wars.

TAMARAC, Fla. – A Tamarac resident pointed to footprints on the ground Monday saying one set belonged to Mary Catherine Gingles, who ran from door to door asking for help, and the other to her 4-year-old daughter.

According to Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies, Nathan Gingles killed Mary Gingles and kidnapped their daughter, Seraphine, from a home along North Plumbay Parkway, near Nob Hill Road, in Tamarac.

Inmate records show Nathan Gingles was at the main jail on Monday morning in Fort Lauderdale facing three counts of first-degree murder, violation of an injunction of protection over domestic violence, and interference with custody of a minor.

After issuing an Amber Alert, detectives reported finding him and his daughter at the Walmart Supercenter at 7900 West McNab Road, in North Lauderdale.

Outside the Walmart, deputies surrounded a parked 2016 silver BMW X3 with a Texas license plate that had been included in the Amber Alert.

A small line at the bottom of the license plate read, “U.S. Army Honorably Discharged.”

Broward County court records show three cases filed in family court last year involved the Gingles.

There was a domestic violence after service case filed on Feb. 9, 2024 in family court. Mary Gingles was the petitioner. The case closed on July 10.

There was a dissolution of marriage case pending filed on Feb. 20, 2024 that involved a subpoena to the Navy Federal Credit Union and a mention of both receiving military benefits.

There was a second domestic violence after service case filed on Dec. 20 that was also pending and included Mary Gingles’s petition for protection.

Court records in the cases show Mary Gingles reported working as an IT support specialist for a law firm and Nathan Gingles for General Dynamics.

The two had been scheduled to meet again for a hearing on March 19, but detectives were investigating Monday how their conflict ended in tragedy.

Detectives asked anyone with information about this or other cases to call Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477.

This is a developing story.

Home with Heroes: Military museum seeking items for display

G. Mark LaFrancis, director of Military Museum and Veterans Welcome Center, which is sponsored by the Home with Heroes Foundation Inc.

------------------

By Roscoe Barnes III

Special to The Natchez Democrat

Note: This story appeared on front page of The Natchez Democrat (Sunday, Aug. 27, 2023).

NATCHEZ, Miss. – The director of Natchez’s only Military Museum and Veterans Welcome Center is asking the public for military memorabilia to display in its new home at 107 Jefferson Davis Blvd.

“The Military Museum and Veterans’ Welcome Center fulfill a dream we have had with the Home With Heroes Foundation,” said G. Mark LaFrancis, museum director and president of the foundation. “In a way, it’s a gift to the community, especially the veterans’ community. We will display many, many donated and loaned items, quite a few are from local residents and veterans. Also, we have the ‘Try Me On’ section to allow young visitors to dress up as military individuals.”

LaFrancis said he’s looking for military artifacts and keepsakes that include such things as combat boots, caps, helmets, gloves, military shoes, web belts, canteens, military pictures with frames, art work. He’s also looking for models of military aircraft, ships, and tanks. He would also like to have a globe on display, he said.

Items may be shared with the museum as donations for permanent exhibits or as a loan for temporary display, LaFrancis said.

A grand opening is planned for October.

“We have big plans for when we go forward,” LaFrancis said. “We will have many exciting and important programs for the community. We now have a recognizable home, a place where we can help our veterans and their loved ones.”

LaFrancis said the museum is not just a place to see, but a place where people of all ages can come and learn about veterans and military service.

“Prize possessions include a massive display of original G.I. Joe figures, a patriotic quilt made by the folks of the Natchez Quilting Guild, and the original welder’s mask of Mary Baroni Warren, who welded on ships and planes on the coast during World War II,” LaFrancis said. “I anticipate veterans will be on hand to greet people and to take advantage of their own welcome and information center, a first of its kind in the region.”

One of the exhibits, “The Wall of Remembrance,” features photographs of 75 military personnel from Mississippi who were killed in action in Iraq or Afghanistan.

“We want visitors and veterans to feel at home in our museum and center, and to learn about the tremendous contribution veterans have made to our community and nation,” LaFrancis added.

In addition to dozens of exhibits in the new location, the museum will host authors, speakers, and movies at other locations in Natchez. Two upcoming movies include:

* “The Hello Girls” (2018), which tells the story of the 223 women the U.S. Army Signal Corps sent to France in 1918 as telephone operators to help win the Great War. “Hello Girls” was the informal name for the American women who served as switchboard operators.

* “Six Triple Eight” (2023), which dramatizes the story of the 855 Black women of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion who cleared a three-year backlog of undelivered mail. They helped to deliver more than 17 million pieces of mail near the end of the war. Film is directed by Tyler Perry.

As a Welcome Center, the museum will assist veterans by seeking to answer their questions and provide them with information on veteran benefits and other issues of concern, LaFrancis said. A computer will be available for their use.

In recent years, the museum has sponsored bus trips to the World War II museum in New Orleans. LaFrancis and his team of volunteers also participate in the annual Wreaths Across America and Veterans Day parade.

The museum is a nonprofit with 501-c3 status. It originally opened in 2018 at the VFW Post 9573 building at 318 Sgt. Prentiss Drive near Walmart. The VFW provided a room for the museum on the second floor. LaFrancis noted the new location has more visibility and easier access than the previous site.

https://twitter.com/OregonGovBrown/status/1323316488388960256

Some observations:

First is the sound quality, there is a lot of compression enhancement in the sound from the room mic's and there are not one but two hearing impaired signers there, stereo signers, tells me that the sound quality is something I need to comprehend.

Pay attention to the way the particular signers portray the words of the people involved. There is a "near vs far" quality happening, and a "remote vs right hear in the room" quality. The stereo signers are very important, tells a story of contrast, division, lateral movement.

Also, the way Kate's voice is not in sync with the video at the beginning is a "$5" statement. Means "Heads will roll". They are worth $5 at the Walmart Customer Service Counter. Also means "Spaghetti Western" and "Japanese Godzilla" movie is happening.

There is black everywhere. Take the flags away and everything is black other than a white stripe low on the wall and a thin grey stripe above that. There are concealing draped table cloths on the tables, are black. There is clear water on the table, two objects with clear water, one is a glass, holds small amount of water, is personal size, the other is for refilling the personal size, is larger.

There is a lot of talk about poison gas.

Sheriff and state police are in the room, national guard is distant, shows a photo, his name is "Stencel", he is a cardboard cut out of artwork suitable for spray painting.

There is many minutes of prerecorded film footage that precedes the news conference, all of the footage is random outdoor scenes. One scene particularly is notable as a  single, solitary vehicle approaches the camera on a otherwise desolate Oregon street.

All put together, and with the event format being that of Musical Chairs with one hot seat for taking questions, clearly, this news conference is about nitrous oxide rectally holstered terror soldiers, and, features the national Guard as targets for such gas event to take place. Has pressurized refilling nitrous tanks in place at a prearranged location, and mobile refilling tanks are portrayed by the way the two signers do a back and forth conversation, they are dressed in black, the visual color of the gas. Odor of nitrous is presented as green usually, but I don't see any green. Only black, and some blue, and clear are in the room, when the flags come down. The Oregon flag has a guilded binding, USA does not have a guilded binding in that room. If the USA flag comes down, SAG is not hurt, if the Oregen flag comes down, SAG gets hurt. If they both come down, that might be a win for a terror group called "Afterswords", basically are the German parts of the remnants of the Pope Benedict Vatican, are led by Donald Trump, Kate Brown is a German name.

The circumstances being presented in that news conference are complicated beyond the realm of common comprehension. There is one terror army, being overtaken by another terror army, each one is secretly portrayed with leadership representatives in all of USA Government, pretending to be USA loyal patriotic politians.

Meanwhile, the USA national guard is targeted for removal, take-out, by both of the opposing terror army's.

The "Afterswords" army, takes advantage of circumstances as they present themselves, to eliminate members of the other terror army, the British/SAG/Canada terror army. They do that in a realm they call "the Afterneath", the area and time that exists in the moments after a successful attack on a US target where both army's are working as one army. "Afterswords" can blame the casualties on other things at that very small moment of oportunity that exists in "The Afterneath". The British/SAG/Canadian army did not know of the presence of the "Afterswords" within their ranks until recently when I exposed that on social media. Think of the Hot Seat behind the concealed draperies around that table as a place where terror soldiers will rotate to and from as they refill their tanks of nitrous gas, Kate Brown uses her skinny little self, and that other, infated looking uniformed woman, to say what is supposed to happen there. You are small and empty (she says "uhhh, ahhh, uhhh" over and over again, means "ohh, my gas tank is empty, won't blow any more wind") then, sit down at the refill tank, to be inflated with fresh nitrous from beneath the concealment of that black cloth. Kate uses old, familiar high level news conference means, the word "Look" as she sits down. She says "Look" twice. That means to look at her in a before refill state, then see her in a after refill state, in uniform, as that other larger, inflated looking woman. The idea is that Kate is portraying herself as both the Governor, and that larger uniformed gal who sits there at the refill tank.

All symbolic communication to terror soldiers far and wide. now the real headspinner:

That news conference happened in around 2008. It was presented on Beta Twitter, before Twitter was made public.

How to interpret?

My guess:

Oregon and the rest of the west coast of USA was taken over with use of commands presented on Beta Twitter, now, they are repeating those successfully proven means to take over the rest of USA. That means the news conference is not about Portland, or Oregon at all.

Understand this fact:

Corona Virus, everything about it, all of the news stories on twitter, already played out in Oregon many years ago.

The coronavirus is surging, but Canada is keeping schools open (Washington Post) It’s been an uncertainty-ridden time for parents across Canada. As cases surge again, provinces are closing businesses, reimposing restrictions on public spaces and urging people to curb private gatherings. Still, as in European countries that are also tightening their rules, Canada is prioritizing keeping its schools open. All 13 provinces and territories are holding classes in person; in only some are hybrid or remote learning even options. In the United States, in contrast, nine states and territories have ordered some or all schools to hybrid or remote learning only, according to a tally kept by Education Week. Individual districts in other states are limiting or banning in-person classes. The incidence rate of covid-19 in people under 20 has increased since schools reopened, a trend the Public Health Agency of Canada says could be tied both to a growing number of school outbreaks and an increase in testing for that age group. Officials are responding by isolating sick pupils, quarantining classes hit by the virus and, in some cases, closing schools temporarily. But they’re resisting the blanket closures and wholesale shift to e-learning of the spring. “On balance, it’s been as expected,” said James Kellner, head of the pediatrics department at the University of Calgary. “And how that’s been has been concerning, but not terrible so far.”

Are ‘Kidfluencers’ Making Our Kids Fat? (NYT) Parents beware: Many YouTube channels that are wildly popular with young children are targeting them with thinly veiled ads for sugary beverages and junk food. That is the conclusion of a new study published on Monday in the journal Pediatrics. The authors of the study analyzed over 400 YouTube videos featuring so-called kid influencers—children with large social media followings who star in videos that show them excitedly reviewing toys, unwrapping presents and playing games. The study found that videos in this genre, which attract millions of young followers and rack up billions of views, were awash in endorsements and product placements for brands like McDonald’s, Carl’s Jr., Hershey’s, Chuck E. Cheese and Taco Bell. About 90 percent of the foods featured in the YouTube videos were unhealthy items like milkshakes, French fries, soft drinks and cheeseburgers emblazoned with fast food logos. The researchers said their findings were concerning because YouTube is a popular destination for toddlers and adolescents. Roughly 80 percent of parents with children 11 years old or younger say they let their children watch YouTube, and 35 percent say their children watch it regularly. Young children are particularly susceptible to marketing. Studies show that children are unable to distinguish between commercials and cartoons until they are 8 or 9 years old, and they are more likely to prefer unhealthy foods and beverages after seeing advertisements for them.

Turkeys (AP) A pertinent question coursing through the $4.3 billion turkey business is a basic one: how many turkeys are we gonna need for this Thanksgiving? It’s an incredibly complicated proposition. Grocery chain Kroger’s research found that 43 percent of shoppers plan to celebrate Thanksgiving with only their immediate family, which if true means that the birds people will want may be smaller, but they’re going to need way more of them as normally large gatherings (which would use a single large bird) temporarily splinter into smaller more intimate gatherings (necessitating multiple smaller birds). A lot is at stake, as in 2019 Americans spent $643 million on turkey in November. Walmart will carry 30 percent more turkey breasts in its stores for those who don’t want a full bird.

As the U.S. votes, the world watches with anxiety and hope (Washington Post) As Americans cast their votes in Tuesday’s presidential election, the world is watching closely, especially allies in Europe and rivals such as Russia, China and Iran, which could expect a very different U.S. foreign policy depending on the outcome. The choice of a U.S. president is always a matter of global importance—to allies, rivals, trading partners, and the web of treaties and institutions that bind countries together. This time, however, the stakes are exceedingly high. Analysts around the world expressed fears for America’s political system, speaking in terms often reserved for fragile democracies. Some commentators in China hope that a Joe Biden win could usher in a diplomatic respite, but fear that the deepened U.S.-China rivalry could persist, whoever wins. Pro-Kremlin media warn elections could lead to chaos and street fighting, predicting that President Trump will be forced to retreat to his White House bunker. Many European leaders fear Trump would weaken or destroy NATO if reelected. In Israel, where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made much of his close ties with Trump, analysts wonder if a Democratic win might weaken the Israeli leader’s long hold on power.

Presidential race too early to call (AP) The Associated Press is not calling the presidential race yet because neither candidate has secured the 270 electoral college votes needed to claim victory. Republican Donald Trump said, “Frankly, we did win this election” over Democrat Joe Biden and said he would take the election to the Supreme Court. His assertion of victory does not match the results and information currently available to the AP. Trump or Biden would need 270 electoral votes to win. Several key states are too early to call, including Pennsylvania, Georgia and Michigan.

Hurricane Eta slams into Nicaragua as Category 4 storm (AP) The heart of powerful Hurricane Eta began moving ashore in Nicaragua Tuesday with devastating winds and rains that had already destroyed rooftops and caused rivers to overflow. The hurricane had sustained winds of 140 mph (220 kph), according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center, down from an overnight peak of 150 mph (240 kph). Landfall came hours after it had been expected. Eta’s eye had hovered just offshore through the night and Tuesday morning. The unceasing winds uprooted trees and ripped roofs apart, scattering corrugated metal through the streets of Bilwi, the main coastal city in the region. Nicaragua’s army moved red-helmeted troops specialized in search and rescue to Bilwi, the main coastal city in an otherwise remote and sparsely populated area.

France ponders new Paris curfew as lockdown rebels frustrate government (Reuters) France could reimpose a night curfew on Paris and possibly the surrounding region amid government frustration that too many people are ignoring lockdown rules as COVID-19 infections soar. France dramatically slowed the spread of the coronavirus in the spring with one of Europe’s strictest lockdowns. But 10 months into the epidemic and with winter drawing in, many are reluctant to endure another period of confinement. New COVID-19 lockdowns and curbs have stirred resistance across Europe even as countries including France and Spain deal with record daily infections and hospitals buckle under the strain.

Bad blood—why France-Turkey cartoon row could leave lasting impact (Reuters) Slights and barbs have marred relations between France’s Emmanuel Macron and Turkey’s Tayyip Erdogan for years, but the row over cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad has dragged them to a new low which could have more lasting consequences. If they cannot find a way to mend bridges, momentum is likely to build for a proposal, driven by France, for European Union sanctions on Turkey’s already-fragile economy, according to Turkish analyst Sinan Ulgen. “Neither Erdogan in Turkey nor Macron in France will step back,” said Ulgen, head of the Istanbul-based Centre for Economics and Foreign Policy Studies think tank. A French official familiar with policy towards Turkey said that in the light of the events of the past few weeks: “The question of sanctions is going to be raised.” EU leaders have already said that if Turkey fails to de-escalate tensions in the eastern Mediterranean by Dec. 10, sanctions would follow, though there is no draft proposal yet.

5 dead in Vienna attack (AP) Five people died, including an assailant, and 17 others were wounded in a shooting in the heart of Vienna hours before a coronavirus lockdown started, Austrian authorities said Tuesday. The dead attacker was a 20-year-old Austrian-North Macedonian dual national who had a previous terror conviction. Two men and two women died from their injuries in the attack Monday evening, Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said. The suspected attacker was shot and killed by police. Vienna’s hospital service said seven people were in life-threatening condition Tuesday after the attack, the Austrian news agency APA reported. In total, 17 people were being treated in hospitals, with gunshot wounds but also cuts. “It is now confirmed that yesterday’s attack was clearly an Islamist terror attack,” Kurz said. Interior Minister Karl Nehammer later told APA that the dead assailant, who had roots in the Balkan nation of North Macedonia, had a previous conviction under a law that punishes membership in terrorist organizations. The attacker, named as Kujtim Fejzulai, was sentenced to 22 months in prison in April 2019 because he had tried to travel to Syria to join the Islamic State group. He was granted early release in December under juvenile law.

Ukraine close to catastrophe, minister says (Reuters) The situation with the coronavirus in Ukraine is close to catastrophic and the nation must prepare for the worst, health minister Maksym Stepanov said on Tuesday.  Ukraine registered a record 8,899 new COVID-19 cases in the past 24 hours, the ministry said, up from the Oct. 30 high of 8,312. Total infections stood at 411,093 by Tuesday with 7,532 deaths. Ukraine imposed a strict lockdown in March but eased it in May. Stepanov said the government would consider how to preserve the economy and save people at the same time.

India, U.S., Japan and Australia kick off large naval drills (Reuters) India, the United States, Japan and Australia began their largest joint naval exercises in over a decade on Tuesday, Indian government sources said, seen as part of efforts to balance China’s vast military and economic power in the region. The annual “Malabar” wargames that India holds with the United States and Japan have been expanded to include Australia this year to cover all members of the Quad, an informal group of the four largest democracies in the Indo-Pacific. Five ships of the Indian Navy, including a submarine, were deployed in the exercise along with U.S. Navy’s John S McCain missile destroyer, Australia’s Ballarat frigate and a Japanese destroyer, the Indian ministry of defence said. Later this month, India and the United States will deploy aircraft carriers in the drills, a military source said.

Almost Like Clockwork, Talk of a Military Coup Follows Thai Protests (NYT) There are certain constants in Thailand: the drenching monsoons, the grand openings of new shopping malls and the rumors that the Royal Thai Armed Forces are plotting another coup. For weeks now, student-led protesters across Thailand have taken to the streets every few days, calling for a new constitution with authority over the monarchy, an end to the persecution of the political opposition and the resignation of Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha, the retired general who led the most recent military coup, in 2014. While the security forces have not cracked down violently on these peaceful rallies, it’s unclear how long such restraint will last. Nor is it certain how long the army is willing to stay in the barracks, plotting against Mr. Prayuth, who was once one of their own. Whenever the generals launch a coup, the refrain is the same: Thailand needs a return to order, without messy rallies or dissenting voices. “I see a coup as not a bad thing,” said Sondhi Limthongkul, a prominent royalist. As recently as last week, Mr. Sondhi publicly called for yet another military intervention to restore stability and protect the monarchy, urging the military to quickly hand over power after seizing it so the king could oversee the formation of a unity government.

Oman to bring in income taxes (Foreign Policy) Oman is planning to introduce an income tax on top earners, beginning in 2022, in what would be a first for Gulf nations. The move comes as Oman attempts to narrow its budget deficit from 19 percent of GDP today, to closer to 2 percent in four years’ time. Up until now, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, have been taxing their populations slowly, using a value-added tax on purchases rather than taxing income.

ITS BECAUSE WE ONLY HAD A TV TILL I WAS LIKE 5 OR SOMETHING. what are you cultured people watching as children? what are the shows? 

15. What did you dress up as on Halloween when you were eight?

>:(

My Halloween experience:

i dont even remember i probably had some kind of fairy wings? i think i remember fairy wings. we went to one (1) house. later on, since we werent allowed to go trick-or-treating, we were each allotted a certain amount of candy, and if we ate more than a designated amount per day, we were in trouble and wouldnt be allowed anymore. i do remember getting in trouble for this. i think i stole someones candy. sibling against sibling. finally we were allowed to go trick or treating, i went with my younger brothers and by then, was a teenager and felt too tall and really uncomfortable

LMAO I JUST REMEMBERED THAT LAST TIME WE WENT TRICK-OR-TREATING NOT IN A RURAL AREA, my dad drove us around in a van and watched us like a hawk i believe. it was very tense and methodical.

16. Have you read any of the Harry Potter, Hunger Games or Twilight series?

i read the harry potter series (I WROTE SIBLIGS LOL) more times than i could count while growing up. i read the first hunger games book and didnt fancy it for whatever reason, and i had an obnoxious twilight-hating phase.

17. Would you rather have an American accent or a British accent?

no

sometimes, though, im really genuinely worried about what accent i do have. im worried i read so much harry potter growing up, it rubbed off on me. when i was a server, people would ask about an unusual accent i apparently had, and once, when i was talking to a super british guy who called me luv at walmart, he was like STOP. WAIT. YOU HAVE A BRITISH ACCENT. and i was like WHAT UHHH BYEBYE AND HE WAS LIKE NO. I HEARD YOU. STOP and i was like that michael jackson meme where he covers his face running away and everyone else in the line was staring

18. Did your mother go to college?

i believe she went to a bible college where people put a grand piano on top of the roof. 

19. Are your grandparents still married?

all of my grandparents are dead.

…. hmmMMMM yow. ok. my grandparents who werent estranged stayed married for as long as either of them were living… however, my OTHER grandparents, i mean the fucking kidnappers, my abuser grandpa… remarried? when he was… really really aging. im judging him for it because i know what kind of person he was.

20. Have you ever taken karate lessons?

I WISH. my parents didnt seem to like that sort of thing (surprise). im interested in it now but… as usual… i feel like its too late, im too old.

21. Do you know who Kermit the frog is?

….. i… i thought i did… hes blessed… thats all.

22. What’s the first amusement park you’ve been to?

ಠ_ಠ 

*crickets*

how could you ask me this?

no wait! i went to the waterslides. then, later on, i was never allowed to go to the waterslides.

23. What language, besides your native language, would you like to be fluent in?

Spanish. ive been “intending” to learn for a long time, and a lot of people who have been really good influences on me and been genuinely kind to me speak it, id like to learn it

24. Do you spell the color as grey or gray?

grey

one sec

yup thats canadian!

25. Is your father bald?

31. Do you belong to any warehouse stores (Costco, BJ’s, etc.)?

w

belong? whats bjs? whats a warehouse for?

32. What would your parents have named you if you were the opposite gender?

i decided at one point they would never tell me this and it was no use asking. i do know they almost named my brother a very fusty old fashioned name fitting in with the thomas the tank engine theme 

33. If you have a nickname, what is it?

G is the ONLY one i will accept so far.

34. Who’s your favorite person in the world?

:)

i……… hmmmm…. i really dont like picking favourites. each person in my life has a unique relationship with me (even though a lot of them arent very warm, trusting or close). because of unhealthy middle school friendships ive grown an aversion to ranking relationships as if they have material value.

35. Would you rather live in a rural area or in the suburbs?

rural, i think. i need nature in my life!!! but i also need to be able to have connections to people.

36. Can you whistle?

yes, but not very loudly or accurately

37. Do you sleep with a nightlight?

no, but ive always wanted a nightlight

im pretty sure there are SOME mental conditions running around undiagnosed. MY BRAIN IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY

41. How many times have you been to the hospital?

for myself? once… when i got hives and started swelling up all over, but otherwise was fine. i really wonder what that was. other times was visiting sick/dying relatives which has made me feel sad and apprehensive whenever i enter a hospital or smell the food

42. Have you ever seen Finding Nemo?

yes! i had a gerbil named nemo! 

43. Where do you buy your jeans?

D:

i dont … remember … really nowhere special i actually have yet to find some jeans i LOVE. sometimes there is a pair of jeans that sparks joy. i do not have such a pair

44. What’s the last compliment you got?

my sister said my pants looked good on me. they are actually their pants, which they left on the floor in my room for an unknown reason, and they want them back. of course.

but because im excited about it and want to brag, the real compliment was when i made borscht and my sister not only ate it faster than me, but wanted a second helping. and my roommate stuck his face in the steam and said it smelled good. hell yes. i put fucking cilantro in it. fcking beast mode.

45. Do you usually remember your dreams in the morning?

yes. theyre usually really emotional and symbolic. if ive been talking to my parents, theyre usually nightmares. ive been reading about dream interpretation for a long time to deal with some of the ominous images that can come up

46. What flavor tea do you enjoy?

red rose reminds me of wheni was little my mom would make really sweet sweet red rose tea for me (thats the kind she drinks all the time) and it brings me those good feelings. otherwise licorice spice really appeald to me for some reason.

i never thought about this kind of thing…. i really don’t know….. id just want them to know how to be kind to others and themselves and thats literally it.

i was one of those edgy kids trying to spoil it for everyone. guess what other common fun thing my parents didnt do

50. Why do you have a youtube? 

i dont! so i dont know what this question means! :)

HOLY SHIT I MADE IT THRU HIGH FIVE 

[notaaronsroommate]

this is unironically what tankies believe.  But, just in case this isn’t a joke:  boeing lockheed, raytheon, northrup grummon, dyncorp etc. already made the money on whatever gear the u.s. might send to ukraine. this isn’t the 60s, the military industrial complex isn’t making money off peer on peer wars where someone is losing lots of tanks planes and helicopters (like how bell helicopters and Ladybird Johnson made money off vietnam).  Much like a lot of big moneymakers these days, shady mil.ind.com. companies make money off of _____ as a service and flim flam stocks/ venture capital scams. Think WeWork, tesla, uber, spotify, netflix every single startup etc.  Back in 2003, the politicians set to make the most money and to take advantage of the conflict weren’t invested primarily in manufacturers. They were invested in contractors. The u.s. military used to do almost all its own logistics. Meaning, the army washed its own clothes, procured its own food, delivered its own shit, built its own structures. for the most part. In Iraq and Afghanistan, private military contractors weren’t mostly deniable ops/ mercenaries. it turns out the mercenaries actually suck shit at doing war stuff as evidenced by blackwater kicking of one of the battles of Falujah. No, contractors were poor people from third world countries who could be fed into a meat grinder to deliver goods to the u.s. forces occupying and fighting in country. So, that way you don’t have to write a bunch of letters to american families saying that hundreds of thousands of private joe shit from kansas got blown up in an unarmored supply truck trying to deliver pots and pans to a base. And it also means you don’t have to pay extra to train, armor, and give pensions to a ton of american soldiers to drive all the shit around. don’t get me wrong, america still has guys driving trucks for the army in theater, but the vast majority of that work was done by guys from Guatemala and Bangladesh who you could send in human waves to get blown up trying to drop shit off at bases.  It’s deeply fucked up, but the thinking was “well, we can pay these guys nothing, pay their families nothing, and the supplies cost next to nothing so if we send out enough of them, some of it will get through.” Meanwhile, the companies contracting for stuff like that, or companies washing clothes or building substandard hospitals and schools for afghans (schools that, in one personally witnessed example, disintegrated as soon as it rained due to the contractors mixing mostly dirt in w the concrete to save on materials) are all being paid ASSLOADS of money. I mean, military contracting firms get obscene cash. lockheed and the bois get tons of money, yeah, for building missiles to vaporize palestinian kids and shit. but like, the long money is in war as a service. forever wars where you can keep making money by supplying shoddy equipment to the government who doesn’t have the manpower or time to ensure you’re doing a good job. just kinda doing a shitty job at stuff that the government doesn’t feel like giving someone a pension for if you die. ask me how this relates to all modern business innovation being about destroying labor power Do note, the origin of the term shoddy comes from the american civil war, where the union soldiers had to grind their own coffee instead of buying it pre ground because u.s. govt requisitioned pre ground coffee would usually be bags full of dirt, since the coffee sellers could get away with it due to the sheer volume. anyway, the second way that you make money off of a war in the modern world is by stonks. see, most people don’t know ALL the shit I said above. rich people are dumb as shit. so, any saber rattling happens and suddenly John T. Walmart’s stockbroker moves money into weapons manufacturers that they’ve heard of before. All in the thought that “well, a war were declared, so weapons manufactuerer goes BRRRRRR” when in fact, the u.s. has so many fucking planes, tanks, humvees, guns, artillery pieces etc. that we effectively have run out of places to store them.  Like, please understand this: WE HAVE TOO MANY TANKS. WE ARE HAVING TROUBLE STORING ALL THE TANKS. WE CANNOT FIND BUYERS FOR ALL THE TANKS WE HAVE. and this applies to most other big ticket items for arms mfg.  So, how does this relate to Ukraine? Ukraine is piss poor. it was piss poor when it gained its full independence after the cold war and collapse of the USSR, mostly due to russia despising ethnic ukrainians as well as western shock doctrine destroying former combloc economies. Ukraine was piss poor when they got the more productive parts of their country stolen by russian invasion in 2014.  Ukraine cannot afford to buy weapons. They don’t have the stability to even get credit to buy weapons. the world banking system, which will lend lots of credit to poor countries in the global south so they can fuck them later, isn’t willing to give shitloads of money to ukraine for new fancy guns.  The u.s. is giving minimal material support, also. We aren’t putting a dent in our excess of supplies, and we certainly aren’t giving ukraine the Good Version of any of our tanks or higher tech military gear, we’re giving them the shitty versions we pawn of to third world dictatorships in south america and the middle east.  So in conclusion, although america is the devil and is not to be trusted, the situation is exactly as it appears: Russia is going to invade and annex another country like they did in chechnya and georgia, and the world will kind of just look on and shrug. Don’t believe whatever stalin laser eyes pfp acct has to say about the conflict being about NATO aggression. NATO is not able to allow ukraine in as it has an ongoing border conflict.

The US's strongest psionic warriors are in Moscow right now trying to mind control Putin into invading Ukraine so Boeing Lockheed Martin and Raytheon can make 500 billion dollars

Boy nearly drowns in house pool in Broward

TAMARAC, Fla. – A Tamarac resident pointed to footprints on the ground Monday saying one set belonged to Mary Catherine Gingles, who ran from door to door asking for help, and the other to her 4-year-old daughter.

According to Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies, Nathan Gingles killed Mary Gingles and kidnapped their daughter, Seraphine, from a home along North Plumbay Parkway, near Nob Hill Road, in Tamarac.

Inmate records show Nathan Gingles was at the main jail on Monday morning in Fort Lauderdale facing three counts of first-degree murder, violation of an injunction of protection over domestic violence, and interference with custody of a minor.

After issuing an Amber Alert, detectives reported finding him and his daughter at the Walmart Supercenter at 7900 West McNab Road, in North Lauderdale.

Outside the Walmart, deputies surrounded a parked 2016 silver BMW X3 with a Texas license plate that had been included in the Amber Alert.

A small line at the bottom of the license plate read, “U.S. Army Honorably Discharged.”

Broward County court records show three cases filed in family court last year involved the Gingles.

There was a domestic violence after service case filed on Feb. 9, 2024 in family court. Mary Gingles was the petitioner. The case closed on July 10.

There was a dissolution of marriage case pending filed on Feb. 20, 2024 that involved a subpoena to the Navy Federal Credit Union and a mention of both receiving military benefits.

There was a second domestic violence after service case filed on Dec. 20 that was also pending and included Mary Gingles’s petition for protection.

Court records in the cases show Mary Gingles reported working as an IT support specialist for a law firm and Nathan Gingles for General Dynamics.

The two had been scheduled to meet again for a hearing on March 19, but detectives were investigating Monday how their conflict ended in tragedy.

Detectives asked anyone with information about this or other cases to call Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477.

This is a developing story.

Breaking News! Putin’s Vast Riches Hidden at Costco What if we all woke up one morning and everybody understood the Russian mentality? Just think, instead of listening to fairytales about Russia and Vladimir Putin, the world would be able to swiftly wade through mountains of negative bullshit to see the truth. This is the story of the “other” Vladimir Putin, the one whose meager salary and means were just revealed. The angry pirates that tried to rob Russians of their legacy hate Vladimir Putin. They also hate the Russia Putin and his colleagues are trying to lift up. The Bill Browders, Mikhail Khodorkovskys, George Soros, and even Russian media tycoons like Vladimir Gusinsky are the poster boys for the banking elite’s vendetta against Russia’s leader. Browder got a crooked U.S. Congress to pass the Magnitsky Act, a ludicrous law to punish Russia and Putin for not knuckling under to the supra-capitalists bent on stealing their country’s vast wealth. But the larger plan grows more evident with each passing Washinton Post Russophobia story. The latest wrongful and ignorant rampage against Putin concerns his “alleged” wealth. Hours after the Kremlin released the Russian leader’s salary and net worth statistics, the ravaging liberal order wolves howled in pain about expensive wristwatches Putin owns. This Quartz story is typical. According to the “geniuses” of western economic, Putin is worth in between $70 and $200 billion dollars. He is also the 21st Century version of the Wizard of Oz for his ability to totally hide the vastest horde of wealth ever accumulated by a single person (Sarcasm a must). This mysterious wealth is complete hearsay. From the Washington Post to screwball sites like Wealthy Gorilla, the Russian leader’s bankroll is ???? just because somebody said so. Browder got the Putin wealth fantasy going when he claimed the former KGB officer hoarded $200 billion at about the same time the Hermitage Capital boss was put on Russia’s Most Wanted list. But all the speculation is just that. The propaganda takes advantage of the fact most westerners do not understand the Russians. Putin does not need money. This is the simple reality no Putin expert brings to the forefront. Think about what I am saying here. Every “expert” you read or hear discussing Vladimir Putin leaves off the simple person behind the fantasy. I’ve discussed Putin’s past and his rise to power many times, and nowhere in his character is there a glimmer of oligarch selfishness. Forget the fact that no one can find this imaginary treasure horde. Leave off all outward appearances of the Russian leader’s life. To know Putin is to study his devotion to family, to service, and to the larger plan for Russia. What if all those watches were gifted to Putin? Can you imagine Vladimir Putin having to whip out his credit card anytime he goes to dinner? What about transportation? Housing? A boat ride along the Volga? Do you think Vladimir Putin will EVER need a single rouble for the rest of his life? The man saved Russian businessmen, Russian soldiers, Russian doctors and lawyers and fishermen from the biggest robbery in human history – and the “experts” wonder from the capitalist billionaire mentality. Let’s say, for the sake of argument, that Putin does want to see the return of the U.S.S.R. Did Stalin maintain vast coffers of coins to fund his vacations? When Nikita Khrushchev died did they discover Italian villas and Swiss bank accounts? How about Leonid Brezhnev? Please take the time to read this declassified CIA report on Brezhnev to gain insight into the Russian mentality. Maybe Lenin’s great-grandchildren live lifestyles like Paris Hilton or Donald Trump’s kids? No, the last relative of Lenin is Dmitry Ulyanov, an Orthodox priest in the western Russian city of Ivanovo. Lenin’s niece Olga Ulyanova, a writer, passed away back in 2011 leaving no fortune. Before you accept the Vladimir Putin his vast army of adversaries claim he is, try using common objectivity in the absence of truth. Why would 10,000 newspapers, a horde of think tanks, western intelligence agencies, the globalist elites, and even Hollywood stars accuse Vladimir Putin without a shred of proof? The answer grows more evident with current events such as the incarceration of journalist and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. The “proof” of all wrongdoing does not reside in the Putin camp. Western technocrats, oligarchs, hedge funders, and elite bankers stink to high heavens and we can prove their brand of larceny – but Putin is still the criminal? It’s gotten to the point where villainizing Putin is a kind of crucifixion. I just hope Russia’s savior is not suffering for no good reason. Finally, when you get the time to research a bit, try to figure out how media like Business Insider put their retail shopping reporters on the case of Vladimir Putin. A story entitled “9 Vladimir Putin quotes that offer terrifying insights into his mind,” by Aine Cain, who usually covers Walmart, Target, and Costco, reveals the idiocy intelligent people are asked to believe. Cain’s story entitled was republished by The Independent in the UK without so much as a glance into the author’s experience. You get it, right? Even the Walmart experts have been assigned to do the criminal profile of the world’s richest man. Here, you can read about how Costco looked when it first opened back in 1983. Maybe that retail store is where Putin’s vast riches are hidden! Vladimir Putin has no need of vast fortunes. His name is all he wants or needs. I rest my “expert” case.

About Face

The use of biometrics in society may seem by many to be a modern contrivance, yet another instance of technology taking over tasks once relegated to humans. Never mind that it typically raises the red flags of dystopia usually reserved for allusions to Orwell’s 1984.

The truth is, biometrics have been around for many years. While some attribute them to ancient Babylonia (!), fingerprints were tracked in the 1800s. Law enforcement has used this one form for longer than we have all been alive.

Even facial recognition is not new, having been launched in the 1960s, although it was nowhere near as advanced as it is today. If you have ever walked through London, Beijing, or many other global cities, you probably noticed the street cameras located on virtually every pole. Those cameras aren’t just there to watch for traffic or people standing in front of Army tanks. They can identify individual people.

Today, facial recognition is so common that many of us opt-in to let our phone recognize our face so we don’t have to enter a code every time we wish to use it. It’s a convenience at this point, not a threat to our privacy.

But what if facial recognition were used in a retail setting? That a store could track you while you went about selecting items? That this same technology could then charge your account, freeing you to just walk out?

Wait. We’ve had this for five years now, and it’s called the Amazon Go store. Duh. We’ve been talking about this off and on throughout the term. It’s just that now Amazon has been sued for deploying this technology in New York City without posting visible signs to customers that facial recognition technology is being used.



Let me add another big DUH. How could anyone inside an Amazon Go store not know that this is how it works? This is the entire premise. But as it turns out, New York City is the only major city in the US with a law requiring shops to inform customers that biometrics, including facial and fingerprint recognition, are in use.

The result is a class-action lawsuit, no doubt brought by folks drooling at the prospects of “sticking it to the man” on a legal technicality. Yes, it is the law. I get that. But I also understand how easy it would be for Amazon to track prior patronage of these same plaintiffs at their 10 Manhattan stores. I’m betting they are repeat customers who obviously knew how the store worked. Can anyone say frivolous?

To Amazon’s credit, they eventually did place signs, but only a year after the law went into effect. And as much as I snicker at people lobbing silly lawsuits, Amazon should have been on top of this. How difficult would it have been to post signs in 10 stores? Or was their legal department asleep at the wheel?

I see a future with ever more facial recognition in retail establishments. Walmart should use it, maybe not so much to deploy their own version of Amazon Go, but to help curb theft at self-checkout stands. They already use cameras to some extent there, but they are not fully leveraging what could be done.

For example, item recognition could keep people from using the “banana trick,” in which they use Price Look-Up features to select a low-cost item (like bananas) when weighing a much more expensive item (like a steak).

If cameras can recognize faces, surely they can recognize a banana, or lack thereof. Getting video of the whole transaction could also go a long way in prosecuting thieves.

I know. Some will cry that we no longer have any privacy. Others will begrudge the labor-saving technology as one more way to eliminate jobs. Still others will argue that people have been shoplifting, passing bogus bills, and bouncing checks for decades, so just let it go. 



But no one makes anyone shop at an Amazon Go store. You do so of your own volition, and unless you have been living in a cave, you already know kind of how it works. As for Amazon, please just post those same signs in every one of your stores, as if it were some kind of liability waiver the customer automatically assumes by continuing to shop there. There is wisdom in preempting future lawsuits.

I hope the case is tossed out for lack of merit, because proving the plaintiffs suffered harm and thus deserve damages is going to be difficult. And slap Amazon’s wrist for not posting those signs. I’m sure the fine was codified when the law went into effect, so just pay it. Everybody else, wake up and realize this is the 21C and we’re not going back to our grandparents’ stores.
