October Open Thread and Subscriber Exclusive Video (2025)

by | Oct 5, 2025 | Articles | 173 comments

Is it October already? Hold on, let me check the calendar. . . .

Why, yes! The piece of paper on the wall (not to mention the gradually falling temperatures here in the sweltering climes of western Japan) tells me that it is indeed the tenth month of the year! Tempus fugit, indeed.

If you, like me, have been caught off guard by the swift passage of time, then perhaps this month’s open thread will provide a space for reflection on the year so far. What have you achieved (or failed to achieve) so far this year? How can you adjust course to meet those goals in the remaining months of 2025?

Or, if you’d prefer to discuss world events, compare notes on solutions and tactics for creating a better world, or just commiserate with your fellow Corbetteers, this is the space to do it!

As always, Corbett Report members are invited to log in and leave their comments, questions, “yes, and…”s or other insightful feedback in the open thread below.

When you’re signed in as a Corbett Report member you’ll also be able to watch this month’s Subscriber Exclusive Video showing you the sights and sounds of the Smashing Pumpkins recent concert in Hiroshima.

  1. Smashing… that was fun to watch.

    • I was infinitely happy to see this snapshot.

      • How are things down under?

        Are real estate home prices high there in Australia also?

        And the stock market at all-time highs?

        • Australia is having a hiatus from acting entirely as a nanny state. The populace (in general) seems aware that bundles of wool were unrolled over eyes for a season. It is going to take a solid dose of fear to rebuild trust in politicians and chief ‘scientists’. Let’s hope that doesn’t eventuate.

          Property prices reflect inflation, supply / demand ratio and debt-driven funding from banks. Mind you, for those interested to live in the arable regions of Australia, the world is truly your oyster.

          I don’t follow the stock market but I think the rises are driven by inflation, quantitative easing across the globe, MMT and not allowing a boom/bust cycle. The hangover at the end of it all will likely be severe.

          Gold is great and Newmont is well positioned.

  2. Important Questions:
    Did Bill Gates’ Oxitec create mosquitos with ACE2 receptors similar to humans’, and were those used to spread an engineered bioweapon called COVID19?
    If so, did elements within all nations perform this act as a demonstration of the 6th Generation of Warfare?
    If so, did they use this bioterrorism as a means to establishing power in central global government?
    If so, was it a trial run?
    If so, and having failed to garner consensus, will they try again with something far worse and push for conquest instead?

    • Interesting questions. Ty.

      A plurality of #WeTheSheeple, and surely #NEARLY a super-majority of #WeWideAwakes also would like to know the current consensus on #HAARP, #TheDimming and #Chemtrail “spraying” &/or “atmospheric injections”(aka geo-engineering).

      #NEARLY #FUllDIScloSURE: I’m an #OldSchool believer in Computing’s tautological first Law: #GarbageInGarbageOut; and thus eschew laborious Internet Searching (#IS-ness) whose results are too often confusedly contradictory.

      We #Corbetteers (#LuvIt!) want #tHEREalThing, right? Genuineness, sans artificiality; Sincerity sans Academic Sophomoric Solipsistic Heuristic Overbearing Loveless Egotistical Smarties (#ASSHOLES).

      So, to close, here’s my morning’s post-#10FourDay’s composition:

      Being and Nonbeing

      Being begins at birth with one’s first drawn breath. Nonbeing is the condition of all nonliving Things. Becomingness is Being’s MANiFESTation & SUBstantiation, the process of living & breathing Life which is what you’re doing right now by reading this, dear Reader. Thank you.

      The word “genesis” means “beginning,” a starting point. “In the Beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God” (John 1:1). Think of this day as a little Life.

      Being’s condition of Becomingness is bifurcated between solitary Unconscious Being (#sUB) and solitary or sociable Conscious Being. If you awoke this morning from Unconsciousness, dreamy or dreamless sleep, free of physical pain, we can agree to say it’s a good start to a potentially very #GoodDay, eh?

      • Oh, the curious among ya’ll surely want to know about #Ten4Day. Here’s a ditty you’ll likely want to chant twelve months/mesas from now, October 4th of 2026, and thereafter:

        I awoke too early in the middle of the night, and an hour’s counting sheep didn’t set me back right…back to Dreamland, so…

        There I lay thinkin’ ‘bout the next day’s drive, Truckin’ for a Livin’ to try to stay alive.
        Then I remembered this tenth months’ date, and its CB code that can make us feel great.

        Ya see…

        It was 10-4 Day, Affirmation Day, when nothing but the positive’ll come our way If, IF…We repeatedly say:

        It’s 10-4 Day, it’s 10-4 Day! It’s CB Talk for it’s Okay! (x2).

      • “Being begins at birth with one’s first drawn breath.”

        That’s the false pretext of the pro-abortionists.

        Being begins at conception. And that’s not just religion. That’s science.

    • I highly doubt that mosquitoes were used to spread the illness, as they were not even present in much of the world at the start of the plandemic. I live in Wisconsin, and there were zero mosquitoes around for the first 3 months of the scam.

  3. Jeremiah 31:27-40

    [27] “Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and the seed of beast. [28] And it shall come to pass that as I have watched over them to pluck up and break down, to overthrow, destroy, and bring harm, so I will watch over them to build and to plant, declares the LORD. [29] In those days they shall no longer say:

    “‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes,
    and the children’s teeth are set on edge.’

    [30] But everyone shall die for his own iniquity. Each man who eats sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.

    The New Covenant

    [31] “Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, [32] not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the LORD. [33] For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. [34] And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”

    [35] Thus says the LORD,
    who gives the sun for light by day
    and the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night,
    who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—
    the LORD of hosts is his name:
    [36] “If this fixed order departs
    from before me, declares the LORD,
    then shall the offspring of Israel cease
    from being a nation before me forever.”

    [37] Thus says the LORD:
    “If the heavens above can be measured,
    and the foundations of the earth below can be explored,
    then I will cast off all the offspring of Israel
    for all that they have done,
    declares the LORD.”

    [38] “Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when the city shall be rebuilt for the LORD from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate. [39] And the measuring line shall go out farther, straight to the hill Gareb, and shall then turn to Goah. [40] The whole valley of the dead bodies and the ashes, and all the fields as far as the brook Kidron, to the corner of the Horse Gate toward the east, shall be sacred to the LORD. It shall not be plucked up or overthrown anymore forever.”

  4. You guys had really good seats

    • Judging by the heads bobbing up and down in front of them, I don’t think they did much sitting.
      Good location though. 🙂

  5. Use cash and watch the control grid dissolve.

  6. I did a search on your site James for:
    Sabrina Wallace
    and nothing showed up.
    She’s revealing how advanced the science already is in black ops which would/does explain so much… and she’s bringing as they say “receipts”. Showing how her parents and other family members were involved in this scientific and other secret research layers of secrecy very deep and how she was experimented on herself, also citing published research on this or that topic that is out there)- talking about accessing a person’s biofield and “Wireless Body Area Network” (see her video with that title on Youtube channel: ASM and I’ll give info on how to find other videos she’s made. like everyone please check out this video: “The Ultimate Plandemic Technology Break Down” on tiktok (that’s first link below) and someone also put it on youtube that’s the second video link which runs I think 32 minutes ). She is clearly brilliant and wanting to share what she knows to help humanity.
    Please check it out and advise what you all think. Where can i find written easy to understand summaries and/or commentaries on this? Also James and others would appreciate if you could download these and others of her videos to make available if they’re removed from the net. I don’t have that capability but would appreciate it if others preserve this and make it available somehow if it’s no longer easily accessible.
    Video links worth everyone’s time to explore:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2H3gj8IXnlE

    Thank you James for providing open forum where I could share this!

    • Angie
      “…don’t have that capability but would appreciate it if others preserve this and make it available….”

      Sure you have the capacity.

      If you download FireFox web browser and then go to the tab and search “add ons” and install “easy YouTube downloaded” by “dishita” then restart Firefox browser and go to You Tube you will have a green button (not under the video play box) to download the video.

      There are also plenty of sites that will let you convert a YT video address into a video file to save ti your hard drive, but I think tjeir kinda sketch so can recombine over the other.

      There are sites that offer the same for tik tok but I’ve never used that site so have no idea how well they work. If you can PLAY a video on your PC screen you can also run “screen recorder” software to record what your playing and save it to your hard Drive….i use Linux Simple Screen Recorder which works great (when YouTube downloads are broken ) but windows ,and I’m sure Mac, also have screen recorder software available to record what’s playing in screen.

      • My deep apologies to those who hadn’t previously seen any of the videos of whistleblower/educator Sabrina Wallace about the current state of the tech nightmare surveillance and much worse stuff going on today. I made a very bad first impression on her behalf by providing the links first to that ‘ultimate plandemic technology break down’ video where she’s all over the place. A million times better place to start, is where she calmly introduces herself at the last link I listed:
        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2H3gj8IXnlE
        which is entitled “Sabrina Wallace – (WBAN) Wireless Body Area Network and the Human”.
        Please give her videos another chance if you watched that plandemic one and concluded that you couldn’t learn from her. See her stuff on 6G!
        Here’s a post from someone on X I just found which includes her discussing this 6G stuff showing articles about it etc. Wow.

        Instead of insulting us, prove us wrong. Debunk Sabrina Wallace instead of calling us a cult. You want to know why we won’t shut up? Because of this👇👇
        I recorded just one small section of her live. Please watch and see for yourself HOW these systems work

        P.S. to Duck, your reply with helpful tips about recording videos was very sweet and I appreciate it.
        I don’t have the capability to try them or software i had on an old computer to try to screen capture videos on my screen ’cause I’m caregiving a family member in time not at work and this time on my computer are stolen moments when I should be sleeping or doing something else that needs doing. That’s why I was actually on the hunt for pithy summaries of her stuff, list of videos to watch and in what order etc. and why I jumped the gun in not starting with a better first recommendation because this stuff has to be shared. I want still photos of the research and articles she reads from in some videos too. I’m a Sabrina newbie . I am looking for shortcuts and time savers and wanting to make sure the videos remain available. . .

          Here is a wonderful example of big thinkers undermining the health of Joe sixpack and Sue soccer mom.

          Mice have a metabolic resemblance to humans. So much so they are a preferred creature for biologic testing. What’s the chances there is more to this than meets the eye…or ears. Poppy Crumb, head scientist at Dolby Labs said the ears are the pathway to the soul.

      • Angie.j
        Thank you for digging this out of the overburden. It’s pure gold. Years ago Elenna Freeland and Billy ‘ the HAARP Man’ Hayes talked about this in one of Elanna’s books. Exposing more of this and Leading to the ultima-sin , Transhumanism
        This you- tube of the Denara Light ; plasma, is infinitely related This man ,the researcher, who was not named, says he has been working on this for thirty years. The bio- Aurora has been known of and understood for thousands of years. It’s obvious to the eyes the reaction to the plasma that the content creator, Praveen Mohan’s bio- field had. It’s so sad that this science is weaponized instead of exploring the good for humanity.

  7. On a completely different tack, the usually right and truthful Joe Brown states that the US stock market is about to move MUCH MUCH HIGHER and quick… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWU4q0Ir9cI

    However, that doesn’t take into account the shocks waiting just around the corner, such as the major oil shock with the impending war with Iran, and also the Deagel forecast of -73% U.S. population change THIS YEAR. (-68% in this version of their report: https://archive.org/details/deagel-2025-forecast-by-country_202501) which James has addressed a few years ago.

    In essence, I am asking this community of the informed, WTF do we do now? Money is after all, important, and using the system’s money systems to get out of the system is the best middle finger of all, IMHO.

      Stock Market and Commodities and Economy and Real Estate

      For years I have been following the markets.
      Gareth Soloway of Verified Investing has been spot-on in the past as a Technical Analyst. I watch the “Verified Investing” Game Plan (open) and also close wrap-up (Drew Dosek) every weekday.

      I have MAJOR ATTENTION on this upcoming week…
      Alert: S&P 500 Topping Tail Confirmed, Tags A Major Trendline And Parallel Channel
      – Gareth Soloway –

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3qMpcjLZGg

      In the U.S., the real estate home price bubble is beginning to unravel, especially in the south.
      The multi-family rental market is now collapsing…it was massively overbuilt.
      About one million FHA loans are now in a default status which means that people are behind on payments.

      10% of the population (the richer people) are now responsible for 50% of the consumer spending.
      The U.S. economy runs on ‘consumer spending’. The wealthy and their spending are keeping the gears moving.

      Occasionally, I do write-ups with sources and charts in the comment section.
      I’ll be doing another write-up soon.
      The “Yield Curve” chart is right at the edge.

      The Real Estate Market (with its associated bond market) is the elephant in the room.
      The ‘inflation’ of prices over the past recent years has been insane.

      • Corbett’s book “Reportage” relates to this subject in the third chapter “Up/Down Politics.”
        I especially like the part (page 45) where he explains the why of the 2007 housing bubble. The whole chapter (and book) is informative, and worth reading.

    • Supermind
      “….am asking this community of the informed, WTF do we do now….”

      Fir what it’s worth I’d say

      1) cut your spending and get rid of any debt- this can be as simple as buying a pos phone and driving an old pos car to learning how to cook from scratch and never eating out again while you eschew fashion and wear old clothes.

      2)have water stored so you don’t need to go out the house for a month….then buy some dried food like rice and beans and learn to cook

      Basically IMO if you live like your poor now you will not be scared of getting poor later (a major fear the control system uses ti keep people in line) and you will have more room to CHOOSE INDEPENDENCE rather then depend on the system for your entire livelihood ….AND a you will have money to waste on investments ( like beanie babies- that one will surely come in one day and I shall retire to Florida. )

      😉 lol

      • Something else important, even crucially important, since we’re in a spiritual war: pray the Rosary, given more power by God in our time to compensate for the greater power allowed by God to Satan & his human agents, as a punishment for sin.

        “In these last times in which we live, [God, through] the Most Holy Virgin has given a new efficacy to the recitation of the Rosary to such an extent that there is no problem, no matter how difficult it is, whether temporal or above all spiritual, in the personal life of each one of us, of our families, our nations…that cannot be solved by the prayer of the Holy Rosary….”

        • Darrell

          Cant argue with the need to pray, and read the Bible.

  8. Did you visit the Nuclear Holocaust Museum?

    • Funny, I was thinking about visiting “The great reset museum”…

      Just not sure where to find it…maybe in Davos…

      Meanwhile we can all listen to big concerts with James &Co. 🎤🎧🎸🎷🎺🎻

      Thank you James and, a good week to all…

  9. I turned 83 this year in March.
    On April 15th I swung a hammer helping my landlord on a project and worked on my motorcycle.
    The next day I had a 101 temperature and a cough. Shortly I was hospitalized for 5 weeks in ICU with pneumonia, learning about the madness of alopathic medicine. I came out with COPD and have been on oxygen 24/7 ever since.
    Had lost 15 lbs and dealt with sleep deprivation from all the night time treatments, etc.
    I put myself on forced regimen of getting well from diet, exercise, and homeopathic supplements, etc. and I am getting quite better.
    Meanwhile the controller’s of our world have been killing thousands, our president has turned into a mad, arrogant, narcissistic, working for Israel and taking us closer and closer to a world war.
    Everything is being hidden and ignored from the Epstein papers, the Charlie Kirk event, Fort Knox, Julian Assange, the Gaza Genocide, and more.
    On the good side for me my BitChute music site went over 100,000 visits and I am hoping in the spirit of everyone can’t do everything but everyone can do something that my music and essays may help wake up some folks who were/are on the fence.
    I hope we will welcome the new year with less madness, greed, hate, and bad behavior by all. We outnumber the bad guys by the billions, just gotta act on our heart felt feelings…

    TAKE A CHANCE (song)
    https://old.bitchute.com/video/ERfGiA9hJy3v/

    • That was a wonderful song and message, reminds me of the old turncoat rockers but better. Thanks for sharing EJ

      • @michelle.g
        Thanks.
        I try to do that mix of harsh reality with optimism for change.
        Wish I had a crew like in the old days where the song could be filled with drums, bass, etc. but that is how it is now :-/

    • I’m two years younger than you and used to trust modern medicine before they proved themselves useless, in fact, worse than useless actually dangerous, (especially if I count the number of vaccines I’ve received in my life!) to cut a long story short I was offered pain killers and anti-depressants, both addictive, so i decided to heal myself, it took six years, but it worked, had taken much longer to create the state of being that led to my illness, so six years wasn’t too bad at all. Been sorting myself out since then with more natural procedures. Good on you! Seek and ye shall find is what I’ve found. Couldn’t listen to your music on bitchute, it isn’t available where I reside. some problem with the government, lol.

      • I clicked some box in my email application and my emails started going to folders and not the Incoming, just discovered this from you.

        Indeed, self healing other then broken bones stuff is the way. Good on your focus to stay on the path.

        Never any “vaccines” since childhood for me.

        Take care and if you ever get to free zone for wifi do try and listen to some of my stuff. It is called ‘Brain Food’ because much of my music is more like musical philosophy and such 🙂

    • ejdoyle

      Do you know this website: https://www.earthclinic.com

      It’s a huge blog, indexed by ailment and by remedy, where people write about the natural therapies they have used, a kind of open source health care system. I always check there before contacting anyone in conventional medicine (I haven’t in a few decades). Of course, the contributors vary in level of knowledge. Ted in Bangkok and Bill in the Philippines are especially knowledgeable about bio chemistry. There is even a separate section for Ted’s remedies, although he hasn’t contributed for a long time. Of course, we have to verify and inquire ourselves before following anyone’s medical advice.

      Eric Berg’s videos are also mainly sound. I don’t think many people should be on his keto diet, but othrewise he offers very knowledgeable information. There are some ommissions. For example, in his lists of foods to avoid I haven’t seen him mention vegetable oil. No one has the final word on anything, including medicine.

      • Thank you mutig. Because of a mistake in my email service (my fault) I haven’t been receiving emails in the Incoming folder but rather the Corbett folder. Just came across this good one from you. I will do some exploring today.

      • Thanks jo-ann. My email application has been putting emails in folders (Corbett Report) and not the inbox :-/ my fault. Just discovered yours.

        Last night I had done some ceremony to open up a path for new information towards healing and bingo, here it 🙂

        I will check out DMSO for sure.

  10. I enjoyed going to the concert with James and Shawn, I was wondering if you worry or have security? I would hate to see James and Shawn get Kirked

  11. Hello all, I wanted to ask if people have seen strange things in the sky at night. My dogs are always waking me up to go potty and I see things that look like stars but they will move and converge on other ‘stars’ and other strange phenomenon. Or I might be going insane lol! Thanks for comments if anyone else has similar experiences.

    • @nlock
      Before youtube lost it’s heart and sold out to canceling so many great creators there was a man, think he was from South America who was doing some sort of night time infrared or something photography with high resolution film. He showed the tremendous amount of “things” or “stuff” that is in the night sky.
      I looked in my notes and his site is not there, as it was at least six years or so :-/

      I am up at about 6000 feet but I don’t go out at night to look anymore. In the past I have witnessed lights far up in the sky that would perhaps be heading North or South then suddenly hook East or West and fly off at great speed.

      One night in Tucson I was van camping in the parking lot of The Casino of the Sun and perhaps a half mile away coming far behind the casino a vertical wheel of changing lights, about the size of a carnival ferris wheel was slowing moving on the horizon from my left to right. I woke up a buddy in motor home and we watched it slowly just “melt” into the horizon.

      Life is far bigger, grander, and amazing then most folks can understand or accept. Next time you see that sort of thing try to reach out with your mind to make contact.
      Like in my song above…Take a chance.

      • @darrell

        Prolly in the urban areas but I am in the mountains at 6000 feet+ so it is just hawks and ravens, etc. and the chemtrail planes at 30K or so for me.

    • I saw 22 starlink satellites (I am assuming) in a row last week in the early morning. Then my neck got tired from looking up and counting. They were moving from SW to NE in a narrow fan pattern, in relationship to the stars.

  12. Also I wanted to share I felt suspicious if the assassination of Charlie Kirk was real and I sort of feel bonkers saying that but something in my spirit felt it was not real. I remember watching on television years ago when they showed video of rescuing some Marine and I had the same response, intuitively knowing it wasn’t real. But I also think maybe I’m overly suspicious now and perceive real things as propaganda! I just don’t know anymore as it’s hard to discern the difference now sometimes.

    • Nlock
      “… But I also think maybe I’m overly suspicious now and perceive real things as propaganda! I just don’t know anymore as it’s hard to discern the difference now sometimes.…”

      Honestly I think thats the whole point- they used to trickle info out and shape the narrative but now in internet tymes they have to flood everyone with noise to hide the signal. They want to always guessing and thinking about whatever stupid magic trick or marketing campaign they’ve come up with. Take care of yourself and your family and then some other people and worry less about stuff that you can’t do F-all about so the stuff you CAN do gets done.

      As a general rule if you get overwhelmed with that hyper reality feeling it’s best to just take a break from media for a bit….honestly if Mr Kirk is dead or having a beer and teen on an Island with Epstein the real questions are:

      A) “how does it affect ME” and do I need to do anything to mitigate that?
      And

      B) Can I do something about this?

      I mean, quite seriously the whole point of knowing a lot of this stuff is just like knowing the weather forecast- it’s so you can either have an umbrella or not be driving into a tornado.

      • @Duck
        Good advice.
        The controllers have overwhelmed the public with soooo many false flags, lies, and distortions of reality it is difficult for many to not be filled with fear and anxiety, forgetting to stay centered.

    • I’m with you, he’s still around somewhere, breathing and walking.

      • Super mind

        Yes….and?

        I find it kinda interesting but it’s more important to work out what the people with actual power are doing and how not to fall into their traps.

        If Charlie Kirk and Epstein are both alive (which I doubt, tbh) what

        A) – way does it affect anything you’re planning to do?

        B) – Are you going to do about it?

        C) – Proof could you produce to convince Joe Normie?

        You could have literal footage of him sunning himself in Tel Aviv and it would make zero difference to the media circus….people are calling the Charlie Kirk shooting this Generations JFK and their correct because just like JFK has kept us all
        Amused for decades, and just like how 9/11 was the next generation of entertainment, people will be arguing opposing theories about Charlie Kirk for the next thirty years or until they give us another conspirTainment show.

        I love Conspirtainment, it’s history as it happens, but TBH what the actual players do with the Kirk movement matters a lot more then who killed (or didnt kill ) the actual man himself.

        • @Duck
          You are really banging on with your comments. Must have had some catharsis hey 🙂

          • Ejdoyle

            All the damn car accidents I’ve been dealing with this year I certainly need some, lol.
            Been quite a year.

        • Yeah it doesn’t change anything in my life, that’s for sure. I am however, very interested in HOW they go about their psy ops, and how good holographic projections and AI have become. Not just the commercially available AI, but one can extrapolate the black budget monstrosities…

          Basically, we have entered an age where “video evidence” is a moot point. EVERYTHING can be faked. You go to a mall in China and you can literally see whales swimming in the air, and they seem completely solid.

          Even our own eyes can’t tell us what’s real anymore.

          • Super mind
            “…. am however, very interested in HOW they go about their psy ops, and how good holographic projections and AI have become….”

            Yes, that is kinda an interesting question. They sure have come a long way from hiring stage magicians to make ships vanish in ww2- iirc thats whi invented the black and white zig zag paint scheme.

            I’m more concerned about what the end goal is, and I kinda get a bad feeling they will be trying to use Charlie Kirk to hear up some kind of Zionism religious revival. TBH I don’t think that will work, it’s kinda a right wing Boomer sales pitch since religious zoomers I’ve met are a lot less into that.

            • Nah, I think that particular psy op is just both

              A) a distraction from the Epstein list

              B) one more item on the stack of reasons to have a civil war

              • Yea, that makes soke sense though They can certainly have civil conflict and unrest but there is almost no way the US (or the UK) will have an actual full on civil war. Unless parts of the actual government break away there cant be organized violence that can do more then burn some stuff down. As AA points out thats good for the system because they can certainly deal with factional violence.

                The number of people who could actually fight a proper war is tiny, even the lefties dont have a proper set up to take over anything and run it. The right wing is quite disorganized and scattered, and both sides would be recruiting from the general population of unfit phone addicts.

          • Super mind

            Re the Kirk shooting – Recluse , of the Visup blog, has done a few pods on his show ( “The Farm MachII” ) on the weirdness around the shooting , esp. in relation to the Mormons. It sounds like he is digging up something worth hearing.

            You might also like his epp on the annunciation church shooting or the zizzians.

            He is kinda left leaning, but pretty interesting to listen to and has a whole set of pods on fascism and wrote several interesting looking books. He has kinda a pleasant voice too- very soothing.

            It’s all pretty interesting but I don’t have time to dedicate to Sit taking notes since it’s somewhat complex but it’s an interesting angle.

            • Hey Duck, I’m with you on this one, I strongly believe Kirk was killed and I suspect there are hundreds of people who were at the event that would concur. For pretty much anything that happens these days there is always someone quick to claim it didn’t happen (usually without evidence). For me, if he wasn’t murdered/sacrificed (more on that later) then the question becomes, “Why”?

              What would be the point in faking his assassination? What does it get them? More distraction and ‘circuses’? That’s what the media is for. I remember a few back when the Q psyop was getting popular and most of the main players (Killary, Obomba etc) were ‘tried at gitmo’, shot and replaced with body doubles/clones/aliens or robots depending on which pundit you were plugged into. But again, Why? Why go to all that trouble just to have your replacement act in the EXACT same way as the person it replaced? That was around the time the ‘truth’ movement, or large parts of it seemed to go off the rails/got hijacked.

              But back to Kirk, I posted a vid above that is along the lines of what you eluded to in reference to the Recluse blog, some very interesting stuff going on surrounding this event.

              I’ll post it again cos IMO it’s well worth a look. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPd14vMhqkA&t=3s

  13. So… how long you all think before Visa and Mastercard globally monopolize entertainment and thus control culture?

    Of course, this is all done under the guise of “protecting the children” which is why it’s partnered with the digital ID scam. But adults need to be prevented from seeing scantily clad women and firearms (just like how Amazon just purchased the James Bond franchise) so they don’t get these ideas with… children?

    The debanking schemes have gone after larger places like Steam, Itch.io, Nokinoki, and so on rather than individuals.

    Visa and Mastercard are obviously helping Crunchyroll in the anime and manga market, they’re partnering with major developpers (who all like to require their own logins and universal launchers), and, let’s not forget, they’re partnered with Roblox, a game notorious for child predation, both in existence and actions that many would say heavily protects the practice.

    You guys remember July 3rd, 2019s propaganda watch, right?

    • Vienticus
      They already do that to a big extent, TBH.

      The cure is to buy some hard drives and set up your own entertainment archive- Jelly Fin will even let you STREAM a the stuff from your PC to whatever device you like over the internet…..I don’t even bother stealing new entertainment because I just bought DVDs for almost nothing and ripped them.

      Better is to read books TBH, lol.

      “Hot money” podcast had a series on the global porn trade and they had a degenerate complain about how the kinds of filth she could perform were limited and controlled by the credit card/payment companies.

    • Did you see where Amazon have redone all the James Bond covers and removed his gun from all of them? As for mastercard and Visa controlling the prollfeed machine, there are ways around it and providers that take crypto payments (for now any way). The arrs, stremio.and torrentio etc. If you object to the content then stop giving them your money.

      • Paul

        I hadn’t seen that but I think they already killed the Bond franchise, lol. I think franchises are kinda like propaganda marketing, so maybe they will revive it.

  14. I’m not usually into this side of the matrix but I mean….srsly?

    So there’s this movie called ‘Snake Eyes’ from the 90’s with Nick Cage, in it a character called ‘Charles Kirkland’ (Charlie Kirk? pretty close) gets killed by a sniper with a shot to the side of the neck on Sept 10th. He is attending a boxing match where one of the fighters is called ‘Tyler the Executioner’. One of the sub plots is that Tyler takes the fall for bigger players in the movie. You can’t make this stuff up. John St Julien who is an interesting character himself did a vid on it the other day ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPd14vMhqkA&t=2s ) With other funny information like the distances from the nearest Masonic temples to the place Kirk was killed being 66.6km’s each. At some point I just can’t dismiss that many coincidences surrounding a particular event. Predictive Programming or metaphysics? I’ll let the reader decide.

    • Yeah that one is a doozie.

      So… Which is it? Are there time travelers going back or at least sending back “scripts” for movies and later on we call it pre-programming or whatever?

      Or are the people who control the movie industry so powerful that they groom people from their earliest life to become real-life versions of their characters?

      Anybody got a 3rd possibility?

      • I ‘suspect’ it has something to do with the greater nature of reality as opposed to how we perceive it, especially time. On a similar note there was that novel The Wreck of the Titan, that came out 14 years before the Titanic went down and had a remarkably similar amount of details in common with the real event.

        “It was a clear, chilly night in April. The largest vessel ever to float at 800 feet long, displacing 45,000 tons, and declared unsinkable by all who had seen her was gliding through the water with roughly 2,500 peacefully sleeping passengers.

        Then, suddenly it struck an iceberg on its starboard side while moving at 25 knots. The ship was 400 nautical miles from Newfoundland. The ship sank quickly, and due to an insufficient amount of lifeboats, it took a majority of its passengers with it. The similarities between the Titan and the Titanic go far beyond a name and an iceberg. The length of the titan was 800 feet, the Titanic 882. The speed at which the Titan cruised into the iceberg was 25 knots. The Titanic’s was 22.5. The Titan held 2,500 passengers. The Titanic held 2,200, though both had a capacity of 3,000.

        Both ships were British owned. Both ships were hit on their starboard bow, around midnight. Both sank in the North Atlantic exactly 400 nautical miles from Newfoundland. Both had a severe lack of lifeboats, the Titan holding 24, and Titanic carrying just 20. Both had a triple screw propeller.” https://allthatsinteresting.com/the-wreck-of-the-titan

        There’s definitely something bigger going on in creation that what we currently understand. 🙂

  15. I am wondering what hoops James and Shaun had to go through to get tickets for this concert. For the first time in over 10 years, I decided to get tickets to see Alice Cooper and Judas Priest (concert later this month). Ticketmaster is clearly sucking the balls of the Cabal. I couldn’t print tickets despite not having a ‘smart’ phone. ‘THEY’ told me to transfer my tickets to someone with a Google Wallet so I can go to the concert. I have a feeling I will NEVER go to a concert again, much like the feeling that I will NEVER travel out of the country again because of biometric requirements.

    Also, the digital ID thing is VERY WORRYING for me and my family. We don’t believe in it and do not want to submit to it, EVER. But what happens when we (like being touted in the UK) can’t work anymore without it? Or get our hard-earned Social Security and medicare benefits without it? Some people say “Move if you don’t like it.” This is a Global problem now, nobody is safe from this.

    Am I the only one who feels like THEY have us by the balls? I don’t like it…

    I just watched the new Omniwar Symposium featuring the UK (David Hughes. PhD), Sweden (Jacob Nordangard. PhD), Japan ( Daniel Broudy, PhD), and the U.S (Patrick Wood). I recommend it and pray we can somehow collectivize and not hate and distrust each other (my once-rural neighborhood sucks now, though it used to be great). Here’s the Omniwar link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lp115B4qKbI

    • “Am I the only one who feels like THEY have us by the balls? I don’t like it…”

      No you’re not the only one.

      Canadian singer/song-writer/guitarist
      Bruce Cockburn noticed it back in 1973 already.

      The Blues Got the World…
      I’ve been down to Parliament, I’ve been in school
      I’ve been in jail to learn the golden rule
      I’ve been to the workhouse, served my time in those hallowed halls
      The only thing I know is the blues got the world by the balls

      I’ve been to the tundra and the mountain too
      I’ve been in Paris doing what the Frenchmen do
      I’ve been in Boston where the buildings grow so tall
      Everywhere you go the blues got the world by the balls

      You can catch ’em from the preacher or from the pool shark
      You can find ’em in the grammar of the socialite’s remark
      Or down in the washroom you can read it on the wall
      Everywhere you look the blues got the world by the balls
      I said everywhere you look the blues got the world by the balls

      But it’s obviously gotten much worse since then. 🙁

    • I am sorry for your loss. Personally, I am fortunate, in that I have no attraction to “music” events in the large venues. I kind of lost my taste for that stuff by the mid seventies, and that was before the insane prices and digital hoops and hurdles.
      PS I am a musician, and really prefer lower level of amplification, as well as mob mentality. Or is it herd mentality? Well, I guess it depends on how rowdy or inebriated y’all get.
      Anyway, my condolences, at least until you can find something else to replace that style of hero worship and stimulation.

      • I truly appreciate your responses, hanky… I have long realized the blessings I have in my life, grateful for all the Good. It is a period of mourning/grieving that envelopes me and others in my very small circle…

        I am also a musician, one who actually played on many albums in the day when an original-music band could semi-earn a living playing 7 nights a week traveling the world. Those days were tribal, magical really, in so many ways. Even living in a car wasn’t so bad when there was a Spark of Purpose and a musical connection. Until the business almost swallowed me and killed me, so I quit.

        Frankly, the only reason I stupidly paid almost $800 (a Fortune for me) for these ill-gotten Cooper tickets was because there was a rumor that the original band was going to be playing. And that feeling brought back days of old where partying and rebellion ruled the spheres, where everything seemed bright shiny new. I did not do my due diligence prior to this insane splurge, same studio cats Vince (Alice) has had for years–good musicians but watered down old-people shows that seem more like a copy band than the real thing. And don’t get me going regarding Rob Halford (Priest)… What a CovidScam pushing MF ripping off young players and playing garage band.

        Stupid is what stupid does, I guess :-{

        • To me, these ridiculously lucrative spectacles are not really music. They remind me of the relationship between scientism and real science. They are both cases of big business vs human explorations of beauty and patterns.

          What do I mean by real music? That will have to wait for the long essay, that I will probably never write. For now, I can say what it is not. (the same with 9/11 and COVID) Music is not something that ignores subtlety, creativity, and healing, in favor of hysteria, money, and unbalanced stimulation.

    • Yes…The feeling that “they got us by the balls” brings up interesting questions.
      How would you feel if you were experiencing WW1? WW11? Living in some different restricted locale, even in our current time period? These examples are of even more unfair and brutal situations.

      So there is nothing new or special about ripoffs and oppression. The specter of them leveraging slicker technologies and illusions is certainly daunting. But some universal things still exist. Rather than staring into the abyss of corruption until you are mesmerized, I recommend not obsessing over the revelations that would have shocked us, until recently. You indicated that you don’t like this feeling. No one does, but our current task may be to accept the facts, and transcend, and not get freaked out by them. Maybe we need to become masters of our minds and emotions.
      When you are on a tightrope, don’t get stuck looking down. It won’t help you reach the other side.

      • Fuck man, I live in Canuckia. It’s turning into full-blown communist tyranny, and FAST.

        I am physically crippled, so there’s very little I can actually DO.

        I could run away, I just don’t know where… Seems every place is doing the same.

        Possibly all freedom-loving peoples could form an enclave somewhere and thrive, but no such initiative exists, TO MY KNOWLEDGE…

        • It sounds like macho solutions are not in the cards. Meanwhile, can you speak out about the obvious logical fallacies and hypocrisy? Ironically, you may have an elevated status in the minds of the lefties, since you have a disability. It should, at least, protect you from physical assault. Improving your knowledge and eloquence may be a way to channel your frustration energy. Who knows, you may be able to find a way to penetrate the minds of a few of the masses? (insert emoji) James’ recent ‘Yes but…” post about how to broach these important topics in a less provocative manner featured some great tips. I am trying to implement them here. It is tough for me, as I have a deep habit of impatience, but it is already a definite improvement over the instant polarization that I had been creating.

          Here in Texas it is relatively normal. I said relatively, at least the loonies are not totally overrunning everything. (Outside of Austin, and the artsy neighborhoods of the cities) Good luck.

      • Your replies helped to lift me, hanky, so thank you. You are SO right about how others have been restricted/oppressed/controlled in areas other than where I have resided. The clip you shared was a wonderful reminder of the strength of spirit that is possible no matter what is going on if we focus on possibilities instead of doom. David A. Hughes brought up a similar thread as yours in the recent OmniWar Symposium… He came to the realization that so many of us want change but have limited or no vision of the world we would want to live in. Most of us just envision what is possible within the world stage that we act in and upon.

        When I sit down and meditate, trying to [en]vision the world I want to create, all I can come up with finding a tribe to take care of and be a part of. I’ve batted zero at that thus far. The SPELL that has been cast over the population is very strong, so we need to figure out whether we can break it or how to find those like us. I’m sure the AI is learning from everything we write here, as THEY have access to Everything on the internet. Yet… this has become a lot of people’s only medium of ‘connecting.’ Transcending is the Best idea. Working on it…

        • I think that it is important for us to retain our ‘humanity’ despite all of the future shock upheaval being stirred up. The nuclear family is the root of human love. Cynical and sinister people know how to take advantage of our most selfless and benign impulses, and twist them into emotions that get us to play their game.
          A famous example is the nostalgia for our families that is invoked when the socialists and communists say, each according to his ability and each according to his need. This certainly works well in a traditional household of adults and young children. Not so well, when scaled up to a society of desperate strangers.
          Another example is the glorification of military service by our strongest and healthiest sons, and now daughters. The laudable instinct to protect our weaker family members is turned into a tool of theft and aggression. Our willingness to trust and follow our father in perilous times is also twisted into our allegiance to designated political leaders.
          Wish us luck, as we strive to champion truth, while retaining our ‘humanity.’ I put it in quotes, as the definition is so nebulous. Still it is the best word I could think of to describe the concept.

  16. Mason, Texas anecdote

    In the days before the internet and with a rare three days off, I told my wife at the time that I had a wild hare to head to Mason, Texas from Dallas. She smiled as I hastily grabbed my metal detector, gold pan, an extra pair of jeans and The Texas Almanac. It is a long drive there and I’m burning up my first day off. That region of Texas has supporting geology, and people still pan for gold flakes about 50 miles east of Mason at Kingsland in the Llano River. The Llano River also runs just south of Mason.

    The Texas Almanac was a very thick paperback book which covered each county in Texas, including a map of the county and even rural dirt roads. It has been published since 1857 and archived copies can be found via this website: https://www.texasalmanac.com/category/history

    Fort Mason was established in 1851 and was Robert E. Lee’s last command with the United States Army. Arriving in Mason late at night, I checked into a cheap motel and took a short nap in my clothes on the bed. I was out the door at the first hint of daylight. It was mid-summer and would be hot. I drove to the Fort Mason park and eyed the landscape. I followed a gully from the top of the hill where the old Fort was. A “midden” is an old dump. Typically, trash is discarded in a ditch or gully. I had my metal detector give me readings over the lower gully, and so I started digging. I was pulling up some old cans and some broken bottles and what-not. My dig got deeper. As the sun got higher, my IQ went up. I realized that some local person may come by and that I’d get in trouble. So, I quit the dig and went to the Llano River with my pan. Pretty soon, I started to give out. I grabbed a burger and just started to drive all around the area. It was classic majestic Texas countryside.

      • I wonder what the property taxes on that lot would be?
        Sounds tempting, but is it actually affordable?

        • Iamfreeiamme,
          You probably have a great concept of the terrain and climate being that you are not far from the region.
          CAD – The county tax link is above.
          If an acreage is designated “Ag”, then the tax rates are generally low.

          The owners mention that parts of the property were affected by the rainfall/flooding of the region earlier this year.
          Also, I wonder about neighbors or environmental impacts. (Like perhaps a nearby cement plant or old oil/gas wells.)

          I wonder if the mineral rights (oil/gas/ore) come with the property, which could add a lot of value to the ownership. I doubt it, because it would probably be promoted as a selling point.

          Evidently, the water rights come with the property. (Cattle well water)
          I should mention that some towns not far from Mason have problems with contaminates like arsenic or radium in their water. Brady’s water has naturally occurring radionuclides from granite.
          (Granite which always contains quartz = igneous…which explains possible precious metals.)

          JIM BOWIE – Lost Silver Mine
          40 miles south of Mason is the gorgeous, dynamic area of Garner State Park and the Frio River. Decades ago, I remember stopping to read this roadside historical marker.
          https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=189345
          Silver Mine Pass
          Named for silver mine opened near pass by Spaniards in 1700s or earlier. Ore was inferior, and mine was abandoned; but 14 shafts (some interconnecting) remain. Near the mine are remnants of a fortification made by 30 men under the leadership of James Bowie, later (1836) a hero of the Siege to the Alamo. In 1831, while at work at this mine, Bowies men repulsed a Comanche attack in a fierce, all day battle. Hero of the fight was Bowie’s slave, “Black Jim Bowie,” who risked his life by leaving the fortification to bring water to the besieged.

          I’m too old and have no desire to take on a spread of land.
          But I thought that it was profound marketing with a raffle. Think about it…how many potential ‘buyers’ can a person reach with an international raffle as opposed to a local newspaper or local real estate listing or a ‘Texas farm & ranch’ listing?

  17. Your question to us, reflection on the year so far. What have you achieved (or failed to achieve) so far this year? How can you adjust course to meet those goals in the remaining months of 2025?

    Well, I would like to share this, but have chosen not to do because I don’t want just “any body” to be able to read.

    I believe it’s wise to be cautious in these days of madness and I just don’t want to share my experiences with just any one.

    So I’m sorry James, much to share but private please. Members only..?
    I never thought I would encourage that..
    Always hated that..

    Better wisely cautious than foolishly brave..

  18. Hey James, thanks for the forum to share and connect with like minds. You do the world a great service in your sharing of pertinent info and prompting discussion in this format.

    RE:

    “What have you achieved (or failed to achieve) so far this year? How can you adjust course to meet those goals in the remaining months of 2025?”

    I (personally) planted over one thousand tree seedlings in 3 separate properties intended to become community food forest gardens of different types. I guided those working with me to plant 5 times that many trees, shrubs and seeds in those same spaces.

    Intense heat from the summer resulted in some losses despite vigilant watering efforts on the part of those capable of getting to multiple properties out in the boonies (in fully exposed conditions that have been deforested and soil pillaged via one hundred years plus of extractive agriculture). Several hundred trees are still healthy and thriving, a couple more hundred are iffy but will likely pull through.

    The trees that survive will be galvanized in a trial by fire and that much tougher… this is a success.

    I also was invited to a small patch of old growth north of my home and found 4 American Chestnut trees of nut producing age (for those not aware, this is a critically engendered species in North America that used to feed half the continent with its immense nut harvests annually). I will be growing these rare seeds (that may potentially be blight resistant) in our food forest plots.

    800 copies of my first book found a home this year and I will be doing my second edition soon (this flies in the face of the suggestions of publishers to cut out huge portions of my book and make it adhere to “existing market niches” by making it either a 100% permaculture book or a 100% recipe book, but not both).

    Trusting my gut and vision has paid off.. so I invite anyone reading this that has a vision for the betterment of humanity and our shared living world to go for it and ignore the nay sayers, friction is to be expected when you challenge the status quo.. but we cannot make significant change while operating within its limited perceptions of “marketable goods”. Just do what you do and do it with integrity and faith (with the vision for how what you do can do good for this world) and you will find traction despite what the monster of modernity tells you about “market trends”.

    I ventured in a forest valley this year that has never seen the impacts of industrial technology. I saw the world and the biodiversity God intended for a region for the first time in my life in Fairy Creek. There were bears living under 1000 year old cedars and water you can drink cupped in your hands from the stream bubbling up from the ancient moss covered granite.

    In the remaining months I intend to save a copious amount of seeds, to write about my experience in Fairy Creek and just take time to heal and be at peace in a world on fire due to the flame thrower called Statism.

  19. I love this James, thanks so much for sharing! Live music is one of the loves of my life and I’ve been to 8 shows and counting this year. One of my goals for 2025 was simply to dive head first into living and I love nothing more than live music and supporting my favorite artists. It’s been such a great year for music and little surprises popping up like getting tickets to see Grizzly Bear on their first tour in 6 years next month. I also got to meet my hero Tori Amos at her book signing earlier this year. I know nobody asked but here’s the list of shows I’ve been to this year (Mag Bay was my favorite and this year’s obsession):
    -Phantogram
    -Sam Fender/CMAT
    -Magdalena Bay
    -I’m With Her
    -Kathleen Edwards
    -Jill Andrews
    -Phantogram/Deftones
    -Brittany Bindrim (my immensely talented childhood friend who’s album Counterpoison comes out this month!)

  21. James recently introduced us to the term ‘social proof.’ It is a handy mental tool, when trying to not overreact to normie apathy or aggression. Correct me if I am wrong; I reckon that it means that seeing strong consensus among the people in your environment is a form of proof.
    It is an evident factor in peoples behavior concerning issues, most of us here, think may feature lies, and need to be more controversial. Remember COVID, 9/11, USS Liberty, George Floyd, Salem witch trials, gulf of Tonkin, OKC bombing, Sandy Hook, etc., etc.

    I just wanted to point out that this is not good proof for seriously important subjects. It is sufficient for deciding which shirt to wear when in Jr high school, but not in determining the guilt or innocence of someone in a murder case. Like SOCIAL JUSTICE, SOCIAL PROOF is not real justice or proof. Also, like the formal logical fallacies, it neither proves nor disproves an argument. It just is a logically weak centerpiece of any position in a debate (even with yourself). So having this term in my vocabulary arsenal, may help me behave more tactfully, but it in no way excuses the practitioners of this type of judgement from following the rules of evidence and logical deduction and induction. Yes, and that is a big but.

    People who go to church ought to have already thought of this , Any one who listens to Mr Corbett ought to have thought of this, but in case anyone has not ….. it’s a good time to leave you Cell phone at home on Sunday unless you want the people who built a whole religion on their hate of Christian’s to know who you are and what church you go to.

    The official reason for making a listbof Chuch goers is to target them with pro Israel adds, but you also need to consider that your church tends to say a lot about you and what you think.

    In general it’s good to NOT having your cell phone when you go anywhere your not ok with having a public record existing forever.

    Nestle Leaves Climate Alliance for Dairy Emission Reductions
    https://finance.yahoo.com/news/nestle-leaves-climate-alliance-dairy-111600736.html

    EXCERPTS
    Nestle said it quit a major alliance between the world’s largest global food companies aimed at reducing methane emissions from dairy suppliers.

    A spokesperson from the Swiss maker of Nescafe coffee and Purina pet food said Wednesday that Nestle decided to discontinue its participation in the Dairy Methane Action Alliance, following a review of its external organization memberships.

    “Nestle regularly reviews its memberships of external organizations,” the spokesperson said. “We have decided to discontinue our membership of the Dairy Methane Action Alliance.”

    The alliance is an international group that started at the 2023 United Nations climate conference, COP28, in Dubai.

    It was launched by nonprofit advocacy group Environmental Defense Fund to curb emissions in dairy supply chains, requiring companies to disclose methane emissions and form action plans. Nestle was a founding member, alongside other major food and beverage producers Kraft Heinz, Starbucks, Danone and General Mills, according to the group’s website.

    Nestle doesn’t offer a break-up of its dairy methane emissions. It previously said its overall greenhouse gas emissions declined 20% in 2024 relative to 2018 levels.

    “Nestle remains steadfast in delivering against the objectives in our dairy climate plan and net zero roadmap,” the spokesperson said.

    Fascinating.
    BAM has always had some 5 Star weather reporting.

    The question is: “Ha long?”

  27. I don’t know if this has been mentioned yet, it’s difficult to
    search the entire site for something like this.

    But The Corbett Report is back up and running on YouTube in full force.

    His ‘offensive’ Century of Enslavement: The History of The Federal Reserve
    is back.

    All videos from the past four months are up there.

    Then strangely there is a 4 year gap (Covid?).
    Then possibly all videos before that?
    I only got as far as 6 years before that and stopped checking them.
    They even have his ‘the Goodbye YouTube Party video!’ 🙂

    I wonder what exactly brought about this change of heart?

    • The video content after Corbett Report was removed from YouTube continued on other platforms like Odysee.

      On occasion, almost weekly, you will notice that James Corbett will generate a YouTube video of from that older censored era.

      My light-bulb moment of “defining the situation or condition” and its importance…

      In August, I watched it….”

      TAKE NOTE of Corbett’s superb planning for OpenSourceEducation
      https://opensourceeducation.online/

      On August 17, 2025, Corbett published the YouTube video from October 2021 so it would be included in the PSYCHOLOGY course of OpenSourceEducation.online

      Corbett is trying to reach as many people as he can with important information.
      Dissemination. …something that we all should do.

      Thus, the YouTube platform.

      • Yes of course all the content you mention is up on Youtube.

        But I think it’s more than that.
        I don’t think James has put back each and every one of his previous videos himself.
        Perhaps I am wrong, but it seems YouTube has put everything back.
        We’re talking hundreds of videos.
        For James to have done so himself would have been a heck of a lot of work.

        And they are back with all of their comments too.

    • I think this is an important lesson.

      What it indicates is that when Gootube de-platforms
      someone (as they did with James a few years ago)
      they don’t scrub all of his content from their servers.

      They simply make it inaccessible to all.

      It still remains intact ready for the day the Gootube changes
      its mind and wants to make it accessible once again.

      Rinse and repeat…

  28. This is the guy I was looking for because he probably would have the information we are looking for about the plane that left an Arizona airport with the transponder off an hour after the Charlie Kirk shooting:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3M5wsuwTA-I

    Actually, the Monkeywerx host says he removed a report recently, out of caution to avoid a lawsuit by the owner of the aircraft and to avoid having his website taken down. So now the host says he won’t talk about the plane, so we know it was connected to the shooting.

    The video is about psyops generally, which mostly isn’t new to us, except for the military movements, especially regarding Venezuela.

    • The video is down, at least in my region, but I’ve found it here: https://rumble.com/v6z19zo-psyop-the-hidden-front.html
      I do wonder about Venezuela. It seems clear what is going on, it’s not the cartels, it’s about natural resources namely gas, oil, ore, but there is no international response at all. I wonder what is China doing, for example.

      • I have to look up what are the requirements prior to waging war. Just attacking something in the Caribbean certainly doesn’t meet the requirements. Certainly an attack without prior approval of Congress would require that the something first enter US sea space. Since “they” know where “we” are, “they” certainly know where the drugs and cartel gangs are and could attack them as they approach the US. So, yes, it all seems to be about something else.

        • Mutig

          Iirc the president maybe deploy and use troops for (I think) 30 or 40 days without congressional approval. Bomb ing Venezuela would probably be legal during that period and It won’t take that long to flatten any south American country, esp if the US has a color type revolution set up to replace the leadership…..on the other hand dealing with terrorist organizations has a LOT more of a free hand-if I recall correctly drug cartels are currently designated as foreign terrorist orgs??

          I met irl a service man who tells me he was stationed in Syria for a bit. He could be talking BS but I don’t think so.

          • Duck

            I wonder how the 30 – 40 day window came about? It seems clear the US is at war with Venezuela, whatever sort of linguistic and legal terms they use to characterize it. I would like to see the Maduro regime gone, but accomplished within the rules of our civilization. Otherwise we descend to the level of Venezuela. After all, the current writer of Executive Orders is responsible for the victims of Operation Warp Speed, and has been flirting with Palantir and nefarious uses of AI, along with the wars. There hasn’t yet been the bragged about “transparency.”

            • Mutig
              “…wonder how the 30 – 40 day window came about?…”

              Just off the top of my head it was post Vietnam.

              Being CiC kinda puts the power to act in the hands of the President- Iirc Teddy Rosevelt sent the US fleet on a world tour because while congress refused to pay to SEND the fleet on the tour they were then left with the fact that the fleet was already in the other side of the world and had to pay to bring them back or leave them there (again, just from memory )

              “….seems clear the US is at war with Venezuela…”

              LEGALLY no, in practice I kinda agree. Not really sure why, since iirc the oil they have there is dirty and only a handful of refineries (all in the US I think) can refine it.

              Why do you care about the regime there? The US is certainly going to to its best to maintain a modern “Monroe doctrine “ in their half of the world, but it’s not like we can directly rule South America. I kinda wonder what the real thing with Venezuela is, we’ve had a problem with them for like 25 years now. It’s hard to believe we couldn’t have bought them off before now.

  29. Following up my 2 posts above about amazing scientific whistleblower Sabrina Wallace and scary stuff LK, even worse than Digital ID, and Duck and Hanky and to James and all others, as the Generalbottlewasher points out how science is weaponized instead of being used for the good of humanity – here’s another link to both a must watch video of Sabrina Wallace where she happens to start off talking about that exactly – the subversion of science to harm rather than help humanity in her ‘take no prisoners way’ and with her handwritten diagram about the different periods of history when science or certain areas of it were deliberately hidden from people and how, then re-discovered, etc., and a link where you can download like I did today, a 30 page PDF which she put together to make her case of what is already being done and how the science of our own bodies is being hidden from us and already weaponized against us, showing us, for 23 minutes, this or that piece in the scientific literature, railing against the relevant categories of scientists who must know this is going on but keep silent. People like Sabrina who want to share this information and so many people questioning so many narratives that it does provide real hope. Please check out and meet our completely down to earth scientific genius Sabrina, with her righteous anger and brutal honesty and quick wit and sarcasm, as to the uses science is currently being put to. With people like this on our side, we can’t lose.

    Here’s the link to her 30 page PDF:

    Enjoy and be hopeful. Learn and share. Knowledge is power. People sharing knowledge. So many more of us than them, and the more that know, the more creativity and more intelligence and love and strategy and solutions can be found by others just learning now or who might learn tomorrow the more you share, or the day after so that humanity working together, we can help ourselves win and not be divided and conquered.

    P.S. – there’s so many of her videos out there, I’m finding more all the time. She’s still very actively, very currently helping us in this way.

  30. I sent a request to the Baltimore Maryland Library System to add Reportage to their collection.
    Apparently they honored the request, and ordered a few.

    https://catalog.bcpl.lib.md.us/polaris/search/title.aspx?ctx=1.1033.0.0.6&pos=1&cn=1675500

    I also ordered three hard copies for San Antonio Central Library.
    I’m waiting to see if those actually make it into the collection.

    What I’ve been doing is going through all my old library cards, and contacting the Library to request Reportage.
    I’m even calling Libraries where I never lived and told the Librarian to put in a book suggestion for me.
    I did that for New Orleans. They were cool and put in a request. Just waiting to see if that sticks.

  31. I see Neuralink has 10,000 peeps lined up for the chip implants.

    https://www.pcmag.com/news/neuralink-we-have-a-backlog-of-10k-patients-who-want-our-brain-implant

    Neuralink has a backlog of 10,000 individuals interested in having its N1 device drilled into their skulls, according to President and Co-Founder Dongjin (DJ) Seo. The company has implanted the N1 into 12 clinical trial patients so far; Seo expects the number to grow to 25 by year’s end.

    People can sign up to participate in the company’s clinical trials online, but to qualify, they must have either limited or no ability to use their hands due to a cervical spinal cord injury or ALS.

    Can’t blame them I guess, if I were disabled I might sign up myself, but that’s always how these things start.

  32. It’s raining mana from the heavens at the 42nd parallel in the eastern woodlands of Turtle Island and I for one will accept these gifts of nourishment gratefully.

    So I went shopping at Mother Nature’s Costco last night. There are no line ups and She provides bulk food at very affordable prices.

    pics: https://substack.com/@gavinmounsey/note/c-164749328

    You do not pay with fiat currency but rather with patience, observation and perhaps some sore muscles/knees from gathering and opening up the food packaging.

    The annual membership fee that allows one to be able to access these highly affordable large quantities of food is paid through giving one’s attention to the shifts in the season, being closely observant of our non human kin (noticing when they start gathering nuts), being willing to crawl around for a few hours (even after you have already worked a long hard day) and tending the trees by giving back to them in reciprocity by ensuring some of their seeds find a safe home in new areas of living earth so their gifts can be accessed by future generations of our kin as well.

    Such are the currencies of the ancient Gift Economy of the Earth and unlike fiat these forms of wealth cannot be attained through brute force, greed or duplicity, but rather flow more freely and abundantly to the one that is humble and generous.

    Many here, indoctrinated into the strange rituals of modernity (where we work hard all day to make digital currency, then go to a corporate warehouse, swipe a piece of plastic for 2 month old produce soaked in poison from half way around the world and eat it) have been conditioned to look at acorns, walnuts and hickory nuts all over the ground at this time of year as a “mess” and “nuisance”.

    Stressing and working overtime to buy nutritionally depleted monoculture farmed packaged stale food when fresh nutrient dense food is being offered to you by the Earths Gift Economy right in your back yard is nuts ! (No pun intended)

    They pay top dollar for poor quality stale pecans and throw fresh hickory nuts in the garbage. This thinking and laziness is crazy to me! This is a sign of a very sick culture that is well acclimated to unhealthy norms of putting how one treats their temple on a lower priority than convenience. Our indigenous ancestors would have scorned that sort of wastefulness and laziness.

    Well for me, when I see protein raining from the sky, I reschedule what ever I had planned, I get down on my knees start gathering and give thanks.

    Thank you oak tree, thank you hickory tree and thank you walnut tree for this abundance, our thanksgiving dinner will be beautiful now thanks to your alchemy of transforming starlight into nutmeat and giving it away.

          Thanks for reading and commenting brother.

          Glad to know you are noting where the fountains of life and food are at in your neck of the woods.

          I just made us some pumpkin pie topped with hickory nuts and a turkey stuffing infused with hickory nuts and spicebush berries for our thanksgiving dinner tonight, it was amazing!

          Do you guys have spicebush (Lindera benzoin) down there?

          Today was the first time I tasted the berries (freshly harvested from the woods today) really intriguing flavors, like black pepper, allspice and lemon together.

          Just harvested some big blueberry permafrost flowers today too, smelling fantastic and just super coated in trichomes.

          Lots to be grateful for today here in the northern eastern woodlands 🙂

    EXCERPTS
    … For those not familiar with Tricolor or the First Brands bankruptcy, the web is tangled and vast. Fifth Third Bank, JP Morgan Chase, Barclay’s, Western Alliance Bank, UBS and Jefferies all have exposure, and the list doesn’t stop there. Morgan Stanley is reported to have requested a withdrawal of its funds from Point Bonita Capital, a unit of Jefferies Leucadia Asset Managment, which had 25% of its $3 billion trade-finance portfolio invested in First Brands receivables. Apollo has also been caught in the fray with some shady dealings.

    In many ways this reminds me of when New Century filed bankruptcy in April 2007. That bankruptcy and trouble at Bear Stearns led to the rating agencies downgrading hundreds of mortgage bonds.

    I remember the day this article came out in 2007 like it was yesterday. At my former company we were already under stress as the private equity company that purchased us sensed the shift in the market and wanted a purchase price adjustment…. …The emergency that would consume six years of my life began on that day.

    I would walk in every morning to another hundred-million-dollar writedown which meant we were near to breaking covenants on our lending facilities at the big banks. My department was tasked with calculating our tangible net worth daily as executives flew to New York to beg… …In many ways GMAC ResCap is the poster child for what happens to a nonbank when the bezzle is uncovered.

  35. On a Pilgrimage through the wastelands of civilization towards the living Cathedral called the Fairy Creek watershed:

    https://gavinmounsey.substack.com/p/on-a-pilgrimage-through-the-wastelands

    Part one of a three part series describing my experiences and what I learned while exploring the Fairy Creek ancient forest watershed on Vancouver Island.

    Firstly, I want to highlight the importance of the truth that is emphasized in the phrase “Context Is Everything”.

    The journey to reach that destination was not easy (physically challenging yes, but that part was a welcomed gift for me, in this context, I mostly mean emotionally and psychologically challenging).

    In order to reach a watershed scale primary ancient forest ecosystem I had to travel across most of the face of Turtle Island aka “North America” (as most of the primary forests here where I currently live in the east, were clearcut over a century ago. Most of the old growth biodiverse forests have not grown back here, these ecosystems were replaced with “civilization”. Only fragments remain, and these tiny islands of ancient beauty no longer retain the full spectrum of biodiversity (that the Creator intended for these communities of life to thrive and perform their intended function.)

    So we had to embark on a pilgrimage across the continent. We flew into Victoria, BC, then drove to the small fishing/logging town of Port Renfrew and went to meet my parents and brother that joined us for this adventure and enhanced our ability to get where others cannot with their 4×4 vehicle.

    We had to find a way to navigate logging corporation sabotaged bridges and roads to get beyond the killing fields of decimated ancient forests and find a way to get close enough to hike down the mountain side into one of the last intact watershed scale ancient/primary temperate rainforests on the planet.

    Take a trip with me through the gnarly logging roads and up into a forest landscape that remains today as it has been for millennia, as God intended, an intact expression of a memory of health and wholeness, a fountain of biodiversity, food, medicine and beauty.. a living Cathedral.

    SILVER prices
    Silver hit fresh record highs above $53 per ounce on Tuesday before pulling back, as a historic short squeeze and tightening liquidity in London drove traders to scramble for physical supply globally.
    Lease rates in London soared more than 30% on Friday, pushing rollover costs for short positions to unsustainable levels.
    At the same time, surging demand from India in recent weeks (Diwali festivities) further strained supply, following earlier shipments of silver to New York amid fears the metal could face US tariffs.
    On the geopolitical front, markets remained vulnerable to shifting US-China trade dynamics ahead of a potential Trump-Xi meeting in South Korea later this month. Meanwhile, expectations for another Federal Reserve quarter-point rate cut this month, followed by a likely move in December, continued to support precious metals.

    https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/silver

    Physical buyers or sellers of silver may notice changes in how the marketplace operates.
    The lease rates are unusually high compared to the very low rates of past years.
    Shipping is an added factor.
    Junk silver coin or scrap silver services may be affected.
    Premiums may change.

  38. EXC: WHO’s New “AI Pandemic Tool” Will Monitor Social Media in Real Time
    Natalie Winters | Oct 14, 2025
    https://nataliegwinters.substack.com/p/exc-whos-new-ai-pandemic-tool-will

    Excerpt:
    In its October 13 announcement, the WHO revealed it has “upgraded its Epidemic Intelligence from Open Sources (EIOS) system to boost global health security.”

    According to the organization, the new system has been rebuilt “to process more sources, accommodate more users and allow new features to be added more quickly.” It also integrates artificial intelligence to automate “signal detection” — scanning everything from online news to radio broadcasts and, yes, social media posts.

    The WHO boasts that the system will “identify relevant content from websites, social media and other public sources to identify important health events.”

    They claim this makes the platform “more open, more agile and more inclusive,” but the reality is that it’s a global listening and scanning network, translating and processing social discourse through AI filters.

    The new EIOS 2.0 system will be offered “free of charge” to member states and “eligible organizations,” complete with training, guides, and webinars. This means national governments around the world will now be plugged into a WHO-run surveillance infrastructure.

    This is how the WHO’s “digital health” agenda expands its power: by embedding its algorithms directly into national information systems — turning “pandemic preparedness” into permanent data dependence on Geneva.

    Insanely, the school board pushed to borrow one half billion dollars through bond offerings with about 2,000 homes in the community. Go figure…how much debt in future taxes will each house be liable for with the total debt being $500 million dollars.

    -MENTAL EXERCISE IN LOGIC – Illegal Immigration and other housing factors
    Recently (Oct), the State department has confirmed that more than 2 million illegal immigrants have left the U.S.
    Between 24 million to 50 million illegal immigrants are in the U.S.
    VISAS – All 55 million Visas are now being reviewed by the State Department with violators being permanently banned.
    The crackdowns continue in government Section 8 housing.

    7,000 – 10,000 Baby Boomers now die every day which directly affects home ownership statistics. Many Boomers have a second/third home or investment properties.

    North Texas DFW metro has a population of around 8 million. It is estimated that about one million of those are illegally in the United States.
    As new detention facilities are built, we will see an acceleration in the number of deported illegal immigrants.
    A massive percentage of the renters in DFW will leave the country.

        • Homey,
          Thank you for confirming. There is a trend I’m chasing in weather consultants. The story is a blueprint for extortion and protection money being generated by creating the event and selling information on its out come. It somewhat mimics the movie story line of The Sting. Fake or real bets on fake or real horse racing, ie, the weather is rigged and if you aren’t in you are out.
          It all boils down to hands on the levers of power and the rubes ripe for the extortion. Injury or insurance ? Make your bets.

      Yield Curve Inversion – OVERVIEW
      The US Treasury Yield Curve was recently inverted, meaning short term interest rates were higher than long term interest rates. This unusual occurrence, called a yield curve inversion, has historically been a very reliable indicator of an upcoming economic recession.
      Since World War II every yield curve inversion has been followed by a recession in the following 6-18 months, and recessions are naturally correlated with decreased stock market returns.
      https://www.currentmarketvaluation.com/models/yield-curve.php
      The 2008 recession was by far the deepest (worst stock market performance, S&P500 bottomed out at 54% losses) and also the longest at 546 days.
      [NOTE: Because the 2023-2024 era inversion was the longest and deepest inversion in history, many experts are expecting a very long recession.]

      FHA loan access ends for H-1B visa holders and other non-permanent residents, squeezing them out of US housing market
      https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/nri/invest/fha-loan-access-ends-for-h-1b-visa-holders-and-other-non-permanent-residents-squeezing-them-out-of-us-housing-market/articleshow/124622829.cms

      EXCERPTS
      The US government has stopped providing Federal Housing Administration (FHA)–insured mortgages to non-permanent residents, including H-1B visa holders. The policy, announced by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), took effect on May 25. It follows President Donald Trump’s executive orders aimed at restricting federal benefits to US citizens and permanent residents.

      Under the new directive, only US citizens and lawful permanent residents are eligible for FHA-insured mortgages. Non-permanent residents—those on work or student visas—no longer qualify for these loans. HUD described the decision as part of a broader effort to limit federal support programs to permanent members of the US workforce and housing market.

      What are FHA loans
      FHA loans are government-backed mortgages designed to help first-time and lower-income buyers purchase homes with smaller down payments and more flexible credit requirements. Because these loans are insured by the federal government, lenders are more willing to approve borrowers who might not qualify for conventional loans.

      For many non-permanent residents, FHA loans were a key entry point into homeownership. The ban now removes that option, forcing them to rely solely on conventional loans, which require stronger credit histories and higher documentation standards.

      What the data shows
      According to new data from John Burns Research & Consulting (JBREC), the change has had an immediate impact. Non-permanent residents made up over 6 percent of FHA loan volume in April, before the rule took effect. That share fell to less than 1 percent by June and dropped to near zero in July and August…

      …Why it matters
      The FHA ban affects a small but visible part of the housing market. Non-permanent residents accounted for roughly 4 percent of FHA loans nationwide in 2024. However, in certain areas—particularly in parts of Florida and Texas—they made up a larger share of first-time homebuyers….

      Texas’ housing market is on the verge of a massive shift in 2026 – once a red-hot boomtown state, home prices all across Texas are now dropping.
      This is good news for buyers – it means more affordability is on the way. Especially in cities like Austin, which are already down 20%+ in home prices over the last three years.
      Home values are now dropping in Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, and Houston – welcome relief for homebuyers and investors.
      Reventure’s forecast predicted that home values in Texas could begin dropping in late 2022, with Reventure’s price forecast predicting that value declines will continue over the next year.

      EXCERPTS
      A near-record number of cars are being repossessed as Americans continue to fall behind on their auto loans amid mounting financial strain.

      According to data from the Recovery Database Network (RDN), analyzed by CURepossession, 2025 has seen over 7.5 million repossession assignments—authorizations given to an agency to recover a vehicle on behalf of a lender. Based on historic trends, this figure is expected to reach a record 10.5 million by the end of the year.

      Although recovery ratios have fallen in recent years—potentially lowering the number of actual repossessions—it is projected that over three million cars could be repossessed in 2025, a level only reached in 2009 during the Great Recession.

      According to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, over 100 million Americans currently have an auto loan, and the nonprofit Consumer Federation of America estimates that their combined auto debt exceeds 1.66 trillion…

      …The growing number of repossession assignments coincides with a surge in delinquencies.
      According to Fitch Ratings, 6.43 percent of subprime auto loans were at least 60 days past due in August, on par with the 6.45 percent recorded in January—the highest level in over three decades of tracking

      …Last week, Cox Automotive reported that the average transaction price for a new vehicle hit $50,000 in September, the highest level in history. Erin Keating, executive analyst at Cox Automotive, said that prices had been elevated by “price-conscious buyers … choosing to stay on the sidelines,” with wealthier buyers “propping up the higher end of the market.”..

      …According to CURepossession, around 30 percent of repossessions happen in the fourth quarter, equating to an estimated 820,236 vehicles being repossessed in the final three months of 2025.

    New York City Mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani posted a picture of himself posing with a Brooklyn Imam known as being an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing whose son ran a terrorist camp for children.
    In a post to X, Mamdani can be seen posing with Imam Siraj Wahhaj and City Councilmember Yusef Abdus Salaam in Wahhaj’s Bed-Stuy mosque in celebration of the weekly Muslim prayer…

    …About that camp…
    In August 2018, not one. Not two. But three of Wahhaj’s children were charged with terrorism and felony child abuse for running a ‘terrorist training camp’ in the New Mexico desert that was allegedly meant to train child school shooters, and where the remains of Wahhaj’s abducted three-year-old son were found by police….

  45. Warm Greetings from the brisk autumn climes of northeastern Turtle Island (aka southern Ontario, Canada) everyone!

    I have a very nourishing treat for all of you today 🙂

    Today I invite you to take a trip with me into the garden, forest and kitchen to appreciate the abundance October has to offer in our neck of the woods.

    https://gavinmounsey.substack.com/p/octobers-optimism-dac

    October is a month of vibrant autumn colors, abundant potato harvests, winter squash, crabapples, dogwood fruit, turmeric rhizome, chrysanthemums, Hopi Red amaranth, Goji berry, ginger rhizome, Sweet potatoes, Kale, Cabbage, Beets and medicinal herb harvests in our garden and backyard. I like to stroll through the woods, engage in tending the wild (aka guerilla forest gardening) collect seeds and practice my tree identification skills allowing the geometry of the colorful and decomposing leaves to educate me about the most efficient way to design living systems.

    I pick piles of Goji berries, harvest buckets full of ginger rhizome, hang up bundles of tulsi, anise hyssop and lemon balm to dry and gather Ginkgo leaves for making medicine from our garden.

    Autumn is the preceder of the forest’s long awaited rest and the invoker of acceptance in letting go of that which no longer serves us. It is a time when we are invited to have the faith to feel safe in the knowing we can reply on Mother Earth’s cycles if we plant seeds, tend trees and invest in her living economy in other ways.

    Fall is a time of harvesting but also giving back to the living earth for me. I think about all the countless generations that came before me that make the blessings in my life possible and I try to image ways I might become an ancestor worth descending from. I look to the trees that give their leaves selflessly to the earth in an act of faith, and I use my hands to find ways to do the same.

    In this fleeting season of soul nourishing color and movement do not forget to take time to just be in the moment, breath deeply and look up through the vibrant trees into the sky to appreciate the artwork of the Creator. You will never get to see the world from the exact same perspective that you do now ever again, each moment lived is an irreplaceable miracle, and the more you actively experience them with a conscious awareness of that truth, the more beauty, peace, fulfillment and joy you will experience in life.

    In a way taking pictures of autumn colors (and deep pockets of sheltered old growth forest) is my way of ‘preserving food for the soul’, but as with all forms of preservation, there is always something lost of the essence in the process. Thus nourishment (whether it be for the body or the soul) is (whenever possible) best enjoyed in the moment in its most potent state.

    Take a walk into our garden and the autumn forests of southern Ontario with me. The pictures (linked above) explore the abundance offered to the body, mind and spirit through the month of October, as seen through my lens.

  46. Give a person a basket full of fresh veggies and mushrooms and they can eat for a day, give a person a copy of Recipes For Reciprocity : The Regenerative Way From Seed To Table and a handful of heirloom seeds and they can not only feed themselves for a lifetime, but also send out ripple effects of abundance, resilience and hope into their local community.

    It took 5 years of intentional research, experimentation and distillation of knowledge to create the book, and I will tell you that the feedback I have received has been that Recipes For Reciprocity : The Regenerative Way From Seed To Table is an excellent gift as it is in essence a fractal seed that aligns with the inherent regenerative capacity and wealth of the living gift economy of the Earth. When planted within a fertile mind, that seed can unlock a great many gifts which are accessible throughout one’s entire lifetime.

    Thus, in the spirit of the holiday season I am offering a limited time 40% discount on the digital (ebook) version of Recipes For Reciprocity : The Regenerative Way From Seed To Table and a 20% discount on physical copies of my book (from now until December 24th).

    The limited time offer discount code for both is:

    the gift that keeps on giving

    I will also be throwing in some bonus Goji berry seeds and Hopi Red Amaranth Seeds with each physical copy of my book that is purchased from now until Christmas Eve.

    From Tokyo To Tennessee: Japan’s Love Of Country Music
    [Videos in article]
    https://www.zerohedge.com/political/tokyo-tennessee-japans-love-country-music

    EXCERPTS
    As country music grew in popularity in America throughout the 1940s and 1950s, the roots of the genre also took hold in an unlikely place: Japan…

    …Japanese listeners of country music were enthralled by the genre’s artistic tradition of emotive storytelling. They embraced singing cowboys like Roy Rogers and Gene Autry, as well as pioneering artists like Hank Williams and Johnny Cash…

    …One of Japan’s most popular singing cowboys from the 1950s is musician Charlie Nagatani.
    Born in 1936, he discovered the genre when he was 20 years old while taking in a night of live music to celebrate his birthday. He quickly fell in love with the genre and began performing with a series of bands, ultimately heading up his own band, The Cannonballs.
    In 1989, he organized Japan’s first country music festival, Country Gold, held in his birthplace of Kumamoto.
    The inaugural event drew around 8,000 people, sparking a movement that made it a yearly festival….

  48. Framework flame war erupts over support of politically polarizing Linux projects

    Hyprland, a Wayland compositor, is led by a “toxic and hateful community,” Beaupré observed, and Omarchy, a Linux distribution, comes from David Heinemeier Hansson (aka DHH), a controversial figure in the Ruby and Linux communities.

    “The ‘big tent’ argument works fine if everyone plays by some basic civil rules of understanding,” he replied. “Stuff like codes of conduct, moderation, anti-racism, surely those things we agree on? A big tent won’t work if you let in people that want to exterminate the others.”

      “….a controversial figure in the Ruby and Linux communities….”

      The Linux community has been infiltrated by sex weirdos thanks to big tech money…..they got along just fine before the freak brigade were inserted.

      Linux got too big and the corporate world depends too much in it for corps not to try and control it and run out the normal(ish) people who actually made it work.

      Anyone wanting to get the gossip can check out Bryan Lunduke who has done a ton of talks on it.

      • Thanks for the tip, Duck!

        This Lunduke then:

        Cloudflare contributes funding to open source projects, Ladybird Browser and Omarchy Linux.
        Prominent @GNOME contributor and @howtogeek Editor: “Cloudflare is [proudly] funding Nazis [again]”

        https://x.com/LundukeJournal/status/1970703325357387973

        https://lunduke.com/

        I remember having seen a good video with that guy earlier. I will check him out and subscribe to his podcast. It has become pretty difficult to find tech outlets that have not been “freak brigaded”. I used to enjoy shows like “Security Now” and “Late Night Linux”. Now, I find little enjoyment in these shows, as they spend a lot of time pushing their ideologies instead of focusing on tech.

        As an example, if anyone is interested, listen to what the “Late Night Linux” guys are saying about Framework at the end of this episode: https://latenightlinux.com/late-night-linux-episode-356/

        Some interesting excerpt of the transcript of the above mentioned show (Bad Language Warning):

        You’re supposed to be this ethical company making these repairable laptops and everything. Why are you supporting these Linux and open source projects that are run by fucking assholes?

        So then the CEO, Nirav, comes out and says, Framework is a big tent. Well, indeed.

        It’s certainly full of clowns that’s for sure so it would seem and people said big tent more like nazi bar is the the bottom line and then near after the ceo came out on twitter of all fucking places and says i support immigrants i support lgbt community and all the rest of it and it’s like well pick a side like you can’t have both like you’re just alienating everyone here it’s just been handled spectacularly badly and there’s a thread which i assume is still going which has just been fucking hijacked by wankers it’s like thousands of posts long about this on the Framework forums.

        Framework were pretty hopeful to me and not anymore, I don’t think. This has really fucking disappointed me that they have done this.

        I definitely wouldn’t recommend them anytime soon unless they drastically change and then i’d still be waiting to see because what they have is a political movement i mean that’s just what right to repair non-pollution environmental aspect of computer stuff and then on top of that they then drop this stuff and you know okay it’s your computer you can run it whatever way you want, but you equally can’t support people who hate other people without then contributing to the political aspect of it.

        You can say it as much as you want, but if you donated a laptop to Werner von Braun in 1945, it would be a bit different than giving it to when he was working for NASA.

        Now, I do have an interest to declare here, and that is that Framework did send me a review unit for free that I got to keep, and then ghosted me when I asked for subsequent ones. So I was kind of pissed off with them about that. But that’s not why I’m bringing this up.

        it does not take more than a week to do a bit of fucking googling of these projects and people involved in these projects to find out that they are the baddies like it’s really not hard and yet i get it they’re busy and everything but maybe a response of let us look into it and we’ll get back to you not we’re a fucking big tent welcome in the baddies you know what i mean fuck them quite frankly fuck framework this is almost certainly the last time you’re going to hear us talk about them unless they like do a very swift about face after we record this they can get fucked as far as i’m concerned.

        • Frode

          The only bad thing I can say about Lunduke is that, as a Jew, he loves Israel.

          He is quite funny though, and I really miss his old videos about using DOS, or limiting internet to wired connection only , or using only terminal programs.

          “…You can say it as much as you want, but if you donated a laptop to Werner von Braun in 1945, it would be a bit different than giving it to when he was working for NASA.…”

          Thats an interesting take, tbh i dont think computing would have changed the war much for then Germans- the Bletchley park Brit’s would have been solving enigma traffic way faster but it wouldn’t have made the rockets fly straight….lol, hardware just wasn’t up to the job. It’s kinda sad that with 50 years of materials science progress we can’t just jump on a shuttle to the moon for a week end these days 🙁

  49. LadyBird

    Ladybird is a brand-new browser & web engine. Driven by a web standards first approach, Ladybird aims to render the modern web with good performance, stability and security.

    From its humble beginnings as an HTML viewer for the SerenityOS hobby operating system project, Ladybird has since grown into a cross-platform browser supporting Linux, macOS, and other Unix-like systems.

    Ladybird is currently in heavy development. We are targeting a first Alpha release for early adopters in 2026.

    • And this comment is written using Ladybird.

      My current user agent is:
      “Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; x86_64) Ladybird/1.0”

      As I am using Arch, I downloaded the package here:

      At this stage the browser is pretty rough around the edges. Waiting for the Alpha version would be a good idea for most.

  50. Wild Rigged Poker Games and Sports Betting Schemes by Mafia and Sports’ Celebrities…

    Thursday Oct 23
    QUEUED Video 8:52 minute mark
    https://www.youtube.com/live/KuRurx3ACLw?t=532s

    EXCERPTS
    …According to US Attorney Joseph Nocella, Jr., the scheme had deep mafia ties involving Billups going back to 2019, with defendants being accused of using wireless cheating technology in their rigged games in places including the Hamptons, Miami, Las Vegas and Manhattan.
    Members of the Bonnano, Gambino and Genevese organized crime families have been fingered in the indictment – taking a cut of the rigged games and enforcing the collection of debts.

    Victims were promised the chance to gamble alongside NBA greats – with the former pro athletes known as ‘face cards’ while the victims were referred to as ‘fish,’ according to Nocella.

    “What the victims, the fish, didn’t know, is that everybody else at the poker game, from the dealer to the players – including the face cards – were in on the scam,” said Nocella. “Once the game was underway, the defendants fleeced the victims out of tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars per game.”

    How they pulled it off…
    According to the FBI, the alleged fraud included self-shuffling machines that had “been secretly altered in order to read the cards on the deck, predict which player on the table had the best poker hand, and relay the information to an offsite operator,” said Nocella, adding
    “The offsite operator sent the information via cell phone back to a co-conspirator at the table and that person at the table was known as the ‘quarterback.’ The ‘quarterback’ then signaled secretly the information he had received to others at the table and together they used that information in order to win their games and to cheat the victims.”

    The scheme also allegedly used poker chip tray analyzers, special contact lenses or glasses that can read pre-marked cards, and an X-ray table that can read face down cards on the table.

    “The fraud is mind-boggling. … We’re talking about tens of millions of dollars in fraud and theft and robbery across a multi-years investigation,” said FBI Director Kash Patel, while Nocella called the case involving Rozier “one of the most brazen sports corruption schemes since online sports betting became widely legalized in the United States. This scheme is an insider sports betting conspiracy that exploited confidential information about National Basketball Association athletes and teams.”…

  51. Dr Campbell talking with two others about research on #FolicAcid

    Basic take away:
    Synthetic folic acid is chemically different then natural

    Synthetic folic acid binds tighter to receptors and won’t release thus CAUSING folic acid to NOT get where needed (like carbon monoxide stops your blood carrying o2 by binding tight)

    This effect varies by genetics of subject

    The addition of folic acid to fortify foods are of the synthetic type and may CAUSE shortage of usable folic acid even as blood tests show ok levels (because it can’t get into cells)

    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4cIIN5-vn5E

    • From https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3257747/

      “….. In the United States, mandatory fortification of enriched cereal grain products with folic acid was authorized in 1996 and fully implemented in 1998 [25]. The U.S. progr…..”

      This would actually fit the time line of autism rise observed by someone I know who has worked special Ed for a long long time and seen a massive rise.

      • https://www.thelancet.com/journals/langlo/article/PIIS2214-109X(22)00378-3/fulltext

        “…….For instance, in three countries that have introduced mandatory fortification (the USA, Australia, and Chile) older people with deficient or low-to-normal vitamin B12 status and high folate status have been found to have cognitive impairment, which might be due to inactivation of holotranscobalamin (the biologically active form of B12).

        3 The dose of folic acid that triggers this effect is not known, so the safe upper limit needs to be reconsidered.

        In countries where B12 deficiency is common, like India, high folate status and low B12 in pregnant mothers is associated with an increased risk of obesity and insulin resistance in their children.

        4 Several animal studies indicate possible impairment of neurodevelopment and brain function in the progeny of mothers exposed to high folic acid during pregnancy,

        5 which is consistent with reports of developmental problems in human infants of mothers who took high doses of folic acid during pregnancy…..”

        • The interview also goes over how the study that showed less NTD in babies born from mothers who got synthetic folic acid had a control group that was given a “placebo “ KNOWN TO CAUSE birth defects.

          Also the Foliated babies had a higher death rate.

          NTD births were apparently NOT lowered at all by Folic acid, because the decline in Spinabiffida type births does not exist if you take into account the terminations brought about by better pre-natal screening for deformities (basically they got killed in the womb rather then being counted in the live births)

It must be stopped, explains legendary senior editor for The New American and president of the John Birch Society Bill Jasper to Alex Newman for Behind The Deep State.

    • HomeRemedySupply, aka. Homie

      Thanks for posting this important bit of scripture. It definitely has been neglected and disassociated with everyday life.

      I will challenge everyone to take the test and enhance your understanding and perception of how much power we have neglected over the years.

      You are not a slave to TPTSB. The clay of civilization is fresh everyday and you have the power to mold it anyway you see fit. Be ready to compromise a little for in the furnace you may have to face the flames of resistance to the pursuit of happiness.

      What is happiness? Comfort in knowing that which you pocess cannot be given to you again in mortal life , but through illusion, trickery and deceit and violence , it cannot be taken away but by those same measures. Fixed forever in the knowledge of mortal man and the ever spinning wheels of the clockwork universe. Happiness is being fixed, secure and with unchanging immunity to deceit, trickery and illusion.
      High ideas eh? A childs simplicity. Moral principles of political universalism. Fixed in the swirl of the cosmos . How charming it was of the founding fathers to give what we already processed. ?

      When looking for a commonality to make sense of the order in the world I can’t help notice those who sleep, who rest comfortably yet have no feelings, have no concern for those who must find their rest in a ditch. Oh we all come to rest at fixed intervals , but when awake work hard at building machines that will never sleep . Moral universalism, or voluntarism. Sometimes it would be good for some to rest in a ditch for comparison.

      Now thats a narrative promoting post you posted Homie, a narrative of freedom.

  55. Good news?
    https://www.woofnews.co/p/the-new-anti-vax-economy-in-pets

    “Veterinarians across the country confirm that COVID-19’s aftershocks have reached the pet exam room.

    Dr. Matt Motta, a Boston University health-policy researcher who led the 2023 canine vaccine hesitancy study, notes that people’s feelings about COVID shots have “changed the way they feel about all vaccines, including vaccines for their pets.”

    Surveys show a clear association – owners skeptical of human vaccines are more likely to delay or skip shots for their animals.”

    “The challenge is quantifying this shift. There’s no centralized CDC-equivalent tracking pet immunization rates in the U.S. “We have a real data issue,”…” good so.

    long article but I found it quite intriguing
