Back in October my Instagram account was hacked. By the time November rolled around I had been reading about Chinese hackers who were using hacked Facebook accounts as portals into other apps and services. Because Facebook is now being used as a means to verify identity, it suddenly put a lot of my online investment activity at risk. So I had to shut down all of my social media accounts.
I will say that decision was a net positive. After about a week of not being on those sites I started to think about why I was there in the first place. Because the initial reason for signing up is obviously to regain contact with people from your past.
But, as I had my experience with social media I slowly realized over time that I don't really give a fuck about the daily happenings in the lives of people I haven't seen for years and will probably never see in person again. I also realized that the vast majority of people I grew up with are now the same myopic idiots we always had a problem with when we were kids.
I think I'm actually better with the kind of life where people are in it for a certain amount of time and then when that time ends they are gone. They are no longer represented in your day-to-day life in any way, shape, or form. You don't need to know who they voted for in the elections and you don't need to know what they had for dinner, how "perfect" their last vacation was, or how much they love their kids and their pets. All in all, I would say that social media has done more harm to humans and The Human Condition than we could have possibly realized when it was conceived. Hell, I made my son a Facebook page before he was even born. (Obviously that's been deleted)
A technology designed to bring people closer together is now what is pushing them further apart.
And we, the Mixed Martial Arts messageboard folks were fully entrenched in a kind of social media years before Facebook or Myspace were even a thing. Places like this. And we got to witness all of the shenanigans and ridiculous bullshit that can transpire when people are given a platform and a glimmering shield of anonymity. Most if not all of us engaged in some kind of fuckery. Some kind of bullshit.
And everyone who engaged in that- knows the feeling. The feeling that you just put forward an ass-kicking argument that both destroyed the opposition's position as well as their character for believing something that was incorrect. Even if it was something as insignificant as the outcome of a mixed martial arts fight. The feeling that you have to win and be right at all costs, and that anyone who disagrees with you is a hapless troglodyte. That's not reality, and it never has been.
We've already watched the entire timeline of social media play out once on message boards. They're mostly dead now because the cycle of I'm right and you're wrong and I'm good and you're evil is not sustainable. People just get tired of that shit. So message board activity is now relegated to Reditt and their pearl clutching mods who cater to the exact pansies who could've never lasted a week at Weekly. Wouldn't surprise me if the board members at Reddit are comprised of folks who resemble those pansies.
So you would think that we should not be surprised to see the newer, larger, far more immersive form of our old social media follow pretty much the same ark. Gotten more toxic than CB's (RIP Jimmy) favorite substances. But I for one never really made the connection until I had to walk away. Once I was separated from it I had a similar realization as the one I had after I left this place for a few years.
Social media is a nice distraction. And if things aren't going the way that you want them to in your life, it can be an escape. But it should never be the place that defines your reality or takes up a lot of your time.
The thing that really crashed me right back down to hardcore reality was my kids. Kids show you your own mortality by simply watching them grow. Seeing how fast they go from not being able to move around, to crawling, to walking, to talking and having their own thoughts- then just watching them grow at such a fast rate, it really makes you realize how quickly time does pass. My son is already almost as tall as my wife. Crazy.
Made me realize how much of my life I spent arguing with strangers about shit that the argument was never going to solve in the first place. Even if we figured everything out. Reminds you that no matter what your situation is, no matter how much or how little money you have- you're just one person who can't fix anything outside your own very small sphere of influence. So wasting your small amount of time on things that amount to inconsequential disagreements among strangers who are powerless to affect the outcome seems silly and futile.
How much time I wasted trying to make people like Andrew and others I disagreed with feel badly about themselves is embarrassing now.
My God. I was such an insufferable dickhead. Yeah, I made good points but I'd always deliver them on the tip of the sword, stabbing with them rather than holding them up for consideration. This eliminated any chance for me to actually learn stuff. I really thought I was the smartest guy in the room. But I'm not nearly as smart as I thought I was. I'm just lucky. I was totally that prick born on third base and thinkin I hit home runs. But I was just lucky. Lucky to have the parents I had. Both for the comfort their lifestyle afforded me and for the lessons their horrible marriage provided me to make certain mine was a healthy, loving relationship. Lucky for the genes that gave me a "handsome" face, and a brain that can still let me walk and chew gum at the same time. Lucky to have a Dad so cash obsessed that I figured out how much damage that caused him while somehow also using his lessons to luck my way into more than he ever had- without letting it dictate the terms of my life. I still live in the same average house to prevent either of my kids from turning into the spoiled dickhead I was. I make (self interested, admittedly) contributions to Alzheimer's research. Have helped some studies that are making encouraging headway on this devastating disease. But that's it for big spending. Big items become obsessions, and I've already drove every car, bought and sold a helicopter,(sold my Dad's mountain too) and prefer kyaks to yachts. Big houses are great for some families, but my experience growing up in one was that they're great for never seeing your family and spending hours in the basement arguing with strangers about unimportant crap on teh interwebz.
These days I chase nothing but time with my kids and wife. Still farming Trump hemp in the spring and summer because it is oddly fun and decently profitable. This year's going to be interesting as well.
Thanks to horsefaced commie AOC, the price of energy in general has skyrocketed. Up here in Maine the Public Utilities Commission approved an 80% rate increase. It went into force in December and all the indoor facilities are going to be forced to jack up prices to compensate. That artificially high price per eighth, the one that has remained pretty static since I was a 90's high school kid is no longer covering costs. The price is about to go up- big time.
Previously, my medical growers would have to turn outdoor into concentrate in order to get it into dispensaries. But the looming price spike is going to cut sales volume, and the overhead on outdoor vs indoor is so vast now that outdoor may be the only profitable option. Even if flower still doesn't move, concentrate from outdoor could be virtually the same price as indoor flower. We're now in the "interesting times" we used to wish our enemies would have to live through. Thanks Obama.
So anyway.
Tldr.
I'm making this thread my blog/social media. I need an outlet for the excessive verbiage in my brain where my apps aren't at risk of infiltration. I will yap when I have something to say.
I'd like to also apologize to Andrew and all the guys like him who preceded him. I was a disrespectful ass to you at every turn and it was all about getting some retarded feeling of "victory" over you. It was stupid, and said a lot more about me than anyone else. I regret shitting on anyone who was just trying to improve themselves and their lot in life. I guess I just had a lot of issues I didn't even know I had.
I also should point out that Andrew is the reason I saw Kyle Rittenhouse shoot those guys live. Our argument about livestreaming sources was one you won. I realized you were correct that night and I never admitted it. I now look for streams instead of talking heads, and that's to your credit. I feel better informed this way.
Maybe my blah blah blahing will breathe some life back in here. Maybe not. Regardless, I've always got a lot to say so I'll say it in our ghost town.
Final thoughts.
I was reading Motor Trend this morning (a shitting habit, I think expensive cars are frivolity). It was the Performance Car of the Year edition.
The winner: the Porsche 911 GT3 Price: $190,000 0-60: 3.4 Seconds
Go back a few months to Truck of the Year. Winner: Rivian T1 Price: $73,000 0-60: 2.3 seconds 0-100: 4.3 seconds
The truck is cheaper and faster. Crazy.
Also- Subaru just discontinued the STI. I sold mine six months ago. Could've gotten a extra 10k out of it if I'd known it was going extinct. Oh well. I was never gonna get another one anyway. I got a grown up car instead.
Hope you are all doing well out there in these crazy times.
Except you, Comrade. I hope you're choking on government cheese. Just kidding. I hope you're enjoying your life too and never worry that God will probably judge it as misguided and wasted when it ends. 😁

Only social media I'm forced to be in is linkedin, but it's gotten too woke even for me. When I was in it, I was having too much fun with the dunderdildoish trolling to really think about the bigger picture. #ipwnnoobz I never really thought about the affect it was having on society, or how people like myself were causing harm with our acerbic bullshit. You ever think about the term woke? It just seems like a really stupid word to use in the context that it is used. Most people prefer to awaken on their own rather than be woke by something external. Some people get really mad if they get woke up. Not to mention, being woke would imply that you had someone else do something to you rather than just figuring it out on your own. So even when you're woke you don't actually get any credit. You're just saying someone else forced you to do something against your will. Since I suspect the entire woke movement has its entire foundation in Marxism, it actually makes sense that they used a stupid term. That's part of the game plan as well.

Social media was having a positive effect on society, especially chat rooms and comment threads on news sites. That’s why they had to shut them down, and 1984ize Facebook. Social media gave us Trump, and was going to continue to yield good things. I watched as the world grew more wise from around 2006- 20

Social media gave us Trump, and was going to continue to yield good things. I watched as the world grew more wise from around 2006- 20 I can agree with that. The problem seems to be that anytime humans find something that can improve their overall well being as a species, the elite members of the species fuck it all up and ruin it so that they can maintain their status. I think if they made Fight Club in 2022 the targets would probably be Legacy Media and big Tech rather than the credit card companies. If it is accepted that covid was a man created emergency, then it can also be accepted that it marked the turning point for social media. They were getting more authoritarian prior to the covid outbreak, but that just exacerbated it and laid it bear for anyone paying attention. Corporations are slowly becoming more powerful than Nations. That may be a bigger problem than China.

I guess there was a giant collapse in the hemp Market.
Up here in Maine the number of license holders has dropped by 90%. According to the head of the State's hemp program (who's named Mary, which is hilarious to me) a lot of these guys bet big and had a gold rush mentality.
Apparently a bunch of them set up massive grows without trying to nail down a buyer first. So now the overwhelming majority of people who got into this Market have left. They either barely made any money or are now bankrupt.
The largest license holder in the state was a Canadian company who had to shut down because they didn't pay their taxes in Canada. That cracked me up.
Mary said there are only three license holders in the state who had partnered with medical marijuana. She wanted to know why we were able to make a good profit. I explained to her that if you have a medical marijuana license holder on your payroll you can have them process the Hemp under their name which allows the company to keep all of the thc. When you have over 1,000 plants, it adds up quick and is actually a vital Revenue stream.
The other thing that I think a lot of the farmers failed to realize was that you need to monetize every part of this plant. Yeah, obviously the flower is the most important part but there are a shit ton of uses for stems and branches as well.
Basically, every area where we could make money from this plant was an area that we looked into.
After all of the flowers have been removed, the stems and branches are sent to a different kind of processing facility where they create hurd. This stuff has a ton of uses from paper manufacturing all the way over to carbon neutral concrete.
The other thing about hemp is that it is an amazing carbon capture plant as well as showing signs that it has the ability to remove permanent chemicals from the soil. And now thanks to weird woke policies you are able to sell carbon credits to companies that produce excess carbon. You can get anywhere from 1500 to four grand per acre.
The other thing that Mary and I talked about was the perception the other Growers had. They thought hemp was going to be the star of the show. But I always thought that it was more like Robin to marijuana's Batman. Capable of saving the day but you're not going to tune in just to see him.
And now the state is in an interesting situation. With the majority of the stakeholders being bankrupt oh, they are talking about changing the rules again.
One side wants the state to adopt a fully USDA compliant ruleset which will limit our THC numbers at .3%. These are basically the rules that we've been operating under up until now and it hasn't been much of a problem for me.
The other side wants to create a state specific program that limits our thc at 1%.
The side that wants to follow the federal guidelines are doing so because they want to be able to engage in interstate commerce.
But, since my business has always been tied to the medical marijuana industry, interstate commerce was never going to be an option. So I am on the side that wants to raise the number to 1%. Higher THC thresholds mean that you can get higher CBD numbers, not to mention it triples the amount of THC you could get from each plant.
It really blows my mind that so many people failed at this. In order to turn a profit on a c b d crop you need your plants to be at 5% CBD. Our Trump plants have regularly pulled down between 14 and 18%. But Mary told me that a lot of these places that failed were only getting around 4%. Skimping on your genetics is a big No-No.
The other reason that we have continued to survive and turn a profit is because of our extremely, ridiculously low overhead. All those "Antiquated" methods that Andrew was making fun of require virtually zero electricity. The only electricity involved in that field are the AAA batteries that turn the timers on and off. Everything else is powered by Nature, which is free.
Not to mention, if the shit hits the fan and food becomes an issue, it won't be an issue for us. Hemp seeds are considered a superfood, but we would not continue to grow hemp in that situation.
All in all, trusting your gut is the way to go. I've heard "you could fund a huge operation" so much over the last four years it is ridiculous. But those same people wanted me to cash out of BTC back when it was 5k. I didn't listen.
Companies have life cycles, and if you're born full grown- you're a circus freak who's not long for this world. Growth needs to be natural. The company needs to feed itself and grow that way if it is to be long term.
Getting ahead of competitors and unforseen problems requires one to have thought through contingency plans better than one's colleagues. And in an industry filled with stoners who suffer from a permanent state of semi-confusion, that's not very difficult.

As I have outlined over the years I do tend to read both sides of the aisle because I like to know what each of them are thinking. The one thing I've noticed over the past few years is that they're not even reporting on the same stuff anymore. So it's almost like the media is helping this whole two different worlds one planet bulshit. Whether that's intentional or not is always up for debate.
But today I was reading on Reuters about how Trump's political action committee has raised 124 million dollars, and have only dished out around 11 million so far.
Naturally Reuters takes the opportunity to try and call him stingy. And then halfway through the article they get to this realization that maybe he's saving the bulk of that money for a presidential run, as if that's even news.
It got me wondering exactly what kind of a person needs to be told that Donald Trump is going to run for president again in 2024. It's pretty obvious he's going to, and it has been for the last 2 years.
But I bet I know exactly what kind of person needs to be told something this obvious. The same people who Garth mentioned changing their social media pictures to the cause du jour.
When I was driving out to the field yesterday I passed a horse farm. They only had one flag flying on the pole. The Ukrainian flag. No American flag in sight. There was a woman on the porch, so I thought about giving her the finger.
Speaking of people from parts of the world that I hate, how about this Khamzat Chimaev kid? The guy with the same lip thing like Hawk from Cobra Kai?
He's from one of the most worthless and shity parts of the world. A place that has produced some of the crappiest human beings to ever walk the face of the Earth.
And he's friggin awesome. At least right now. Because the hype train is on a nitrous boost.
Him picking that Chinese dude up and carrying him across the cage while talking to Dana the whole time was one of the coolest/funniest things I've seen in a long time. I also liked how he kept talking to Dana after he slammed the Dude. Then he just made him look like a complete Noobtardlet on the ground. RNCed a BJJ black belt. Glorious.
And there are soooooo many fights that I want to see him in now.
I want to see him smash the crap out of Gilbert Burns just because I don't want the hype Train derailed and Gilbert Burns is never going to beat Camaro. Camaro? Seriously voice to text? Kamaru. There you go I have to say it like a retard in order for you to understand it.
Then I want to see him takeout Vicente luque just because that guy's been waiting for freaking ever to get a chance and to see him get derailed and completely annihilated by some dude who just showed up would be pretty amusing.
Obviously the best fight will be between him and Colby Covington, where he will beat Covington unmercifully. Belal Mohamad allegedly claimed he wanted some of Khamzat too but he was probably just talking out the side of his mouth and won't ever actually sign a contract to fight Khamzat.
Then I want to see him just manhandle and really put a serious beat down on Kamaru Usman. Like seriously embarrass him. First round finish.
After that he can go up to middleweight and do the same thing to all of them including Adesanya.
And McGregor talking about going up to 170? I kind of hope he does. Because I'm kind of tired of him and I think it would be fantastic to see him also get smashed.

MMA discussion is fairly active and I've mentioned there-and I do believe that Khamzat will be champ-champ.

Last night while watching the news with the kids, they showed a clip of Ginger Jen talking about oil leases. This lead to a discussion about lying by omission.
It ended with my son looking at her stupid face on the tv and saying "Well! Jenn P can suck a D!"
This lead to an entirely different discussion.
Turns out, he didn't even know what D was.(🤣 noob.) It was a struggle to not laugh. He was pretty mortified when I told him what it meant. Then he hit me with another one, clearly missing the point.
"Yeah so I shouldn't tell her to do something she'd like."
"Wait. Why do you think she'd like it?"
"Because yesterday I heard you tell Uncle Walt she's a first class cock sucker."
I had nothing for him at that point. He's not wrong.

Obama, Hillary and Suck a D all have Covid. 🙂 They probably just have colds but are focused on making it more dramatic.
Meanwhile, I succeeded in never getting the disease or the fake vax. But that's probably because nothing can survive inside my dark, evil soul. At least that's what A.H. told me after his cat killed itself (to escape him)(obviously) by swallowing a needle.
Speaking of fake judges, can we get some 90lb girlfriends of Democrat reps to sit on them the day of the confirmation vote?
Now I realize I'm just a Gen X cisgendered white male "Boomer" so I don't know anything about anything except racist logic and sexist reason and being a transphobic bigot and being responsible for everything bad that ever happened.
But god damn. Joe Biden took a dildo bigger than the ones Bill's fans throw at Patriots players and screwed the process with it just for a fleeting virtue signal.
My conspiracy buds like Slaytan will say it was also another deliberate degradation of The Constitution. And they'll probably be right in 20 years.
Because this Ketanji Brown woman is now in the middle of a Constitutional quagmire no one wants to mention.
Let's say I want to hire someone for a position at my company. In my head I want to hire a specific kind of person. I have to keep that in my head.
I can say: "Help Wanted. Send inquiries to..." I can't say: "Help Wanted. Only Black Women need apply."
That is illegal on every level, especially Federal.
If I want a black woman for the job, I have to wittle a field that includes everyone. The final choice is then mine and no one can sue me for exclusive hiring practices.
I checked out what % of lawyers/judges are black women. It is around 13-14%.
Biden effectively disqualified 86% of the other candidates based on race and gender. See? Told ya I know racist logic and sexist reason. And that's what is afoot here. More racism and sexism from Democrats.
Jarack Obiden just had to tell everyone what he was gonna do and delegitimize whomever he chose by casting a cloud of racism and sexism over their nomination. No mention from the pussified Republicans of how his dipshit announcement made her nomination unconstitutional.
Gotta wonder if it was deliberate or just another example of the Shuffling Carcass of Mediocrity's bumbling buffoonery.
Since I still consider the Dems the party of the KKK and the real fascists, I suspect it was deliberate.
Joey B is a perfect puppet. So much better than a self made billionaire (and spare me the "he was left millions" boloney. I was too. And my kids will be too. Never gonna be billionaires. I don't think you realize how much money that actually is) ever could have been. Trump was beholden to the country and his ego. Biden is the exact opposite of self made and even walks like a marionette now. Trump's success stroked his ego, but benefitted the nation. Biden's failures fly right over his head and benefit everyone but the citizens of the country he runs.
I hope Kentanji gets rejected and November gets here quick.

Ever wonder why Nancy Pelosi stated -- with regard to the Russo-Ukrainian war -- "Unfortunately we cannot go in militarily right now"? (I am not opining on whether or not that would be a sane course to take). The answer is because supposed "Commander in Chief" and CCP asset Joe Biden is NOT in control of the United States military! We are, in fact, under a somewhat clandestine form of Martial Law. President O-Biden (heh heh) is acutely aware that his ultimate authority has been usurped, and so are top admin officials. Quite understanably, they ain't sayin' much about it! Nope. They (the military) are NOT taking orders from him, except as necessary to maintain an appearance of normalcy. Trump's Executive Order #13887 was issued years ago to create a continuation- of-government process in the event of catastrophic events, and maintain order in the USA. These events may be war casualties (death of high officials in our government, etc.), ELECTION FRAUD, cyberwarfare, etc. This is why, and how, the Space Force was created, among other things. Under his war powers authority -- in the face of MASSIVE irregularities in the 2020 election -- Trump mobilized a process where military cyber-warfare analysts would (and did in fact) compile massive troves of evidence PROVING election fraud....the SAME evidence that the NYT and all other MSM sources claim doesn't exist! He used this evidence to arrange for the military to take over, if necessary, to prevent further electoral fraud and traitorous actions from our "UNELECTED" Commander-in-Senility J. Biden. This is why Gen. Miller was put in charge of the DoD immediately after the stolen 2020 election! He was coordinating with military commanders to create an ACTUAL martial-law arrangement whereupon they would -- IF ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY -- take over the government, and arrest & prosecute traitors under military law. NOT the civilian courts, which are riddled with corruption and deep- state activist judges and prosecutors. They military is authorized to maintain our constitutional republic as necessary, regardless of the presence of a Traitor-in-Chief. There was a NEWSWEEK article -- immediately after the Jan. 2021 transition -- about the "unprecedented" lack of cooperation between the Trump admin and the incoming Biden fraud machine -- in matters of military security and info sharing! Most hand-offs were business as usual, but meetings to coordinate a secure transition of military preparedness were not. Biden officials were left in the dark about many military matters that they -- uh, did not need to know -- and the military itself chose what information was given to the CCP puppet-admin. Obviously, care was taken to give the fraud-admin enough to maintain the ILLUSION of a normal transition. What choice did they have, after all? NEWSWEEK'S article simply documented the highly-unusual nature of this normally routine procedure. Isn't it rather ODD that the Biden administration -- like the Obama admin before it -- wants to CLOSE the prison at Guantanamo Bay....and yet there is a NEW COURTHOUSE FOR MILITARY TRIBUNALS being built at this very moment? As I said: the US military is acting INDEPENDENTLY of any White House directives, and it has secret wartime authority to do so! Khalid Sheik Mohammad's trial (as well as the other five Islamo-nutbags' trials) cannot even BEGIN until 2024 at the earliest! Indeed, there are plea-bargain discussions for them (life in prison, no parole) at this moment! ...WHO then, will be tried in this new military-court facility being built at Gitmo? Cyber-warfare is actual warfare....and was used extensively to steal the 2020 election. Ask any COMPETENT military cyber-analyst. THEY don't work for the NYT, they deal in factual data and the PROBABLY won't answer your questions! Just like our War on Terror -- which is nearly perpetual because conventional terrorism is a CONSTANT threat -- so is our present Cyber Warfare effort. These clandestine actions WILL CONTINUE -- Biden's INSTALLMENT as a puppet-president changes nothing -- and the traitors will be monitored and eventually neutralized. There is a magnificently-clear video series on this ongoing, Trump-led process to protect our nation's interests. It is called Devolution and it is voluminous -- I have seen the first 3 parts and I am convinced! Each chapter is 32-41 minutes in length. They are also available in simple written form, verbatim. TAKE THE TIME TO READ OR WATCH THE FIRST 3 AT LEAST! I promise you will either be absolutely convinced -- or if you're an uber-skeptic, at least driven into deep thought -- after seeing the videos. patelpatriot.substack.comDEVOLUTION SERIES

Interesting Cyber.
But is it possible that Batshit (Pelosi) was saying that because NATO requires unanimous agreement on military action and sparking conflict with a nuclear power is nutty?
Or the Trump military shadow government theory.
Several years ago my normalcy bias would've had me saying something snarky about crack rocks. But my new and better never surprised bias makes me entertain the idea, because it isn't as ridiculous as some other stuff that's come true.
Like the U.S. agreeing yesterday to let Russia take Iran's "excess" (one micron is excess imo) enriched Uranium. What the fuck?
Humanity is in such a weird place as a species. On one hand, we're on the verge of timeline altering discoveries and achievements. Curing cancer and Alzheimer's, removing/blurring the barrier between human and machine, Jackel shutting the fuck up and getting a job, building a permanent base on the moon, global satellite internet connectivity, Vege winning the national swimming championship in the 500 meter, stem cell technology regenerating tendons and organs, and shutting off time's damaging affect on telomeres, allowing cellular replication to not degrade thus stopping the aging process entirely.
On the other hand we have dystopian one world government preceeded by nuclear annihilation.
Good times.

^^^ Jackel shutting up and getting a job? NOW who's smoking rocks? It's far more difficult to believe than the scenario I've laid out. If you have any evidence to substantiate that (Jackel's employment, I mean)? I actually hope the poor guy actually DID get work; at least his poor girlfriend can start working single shifts at the bakery! Check out that link, and read some. I think you'll agree that something VERY unusual is happening between O-Biden and the military establishment. All entirely allowed/authorized by that E/O I mentioned.

In particular, the RATHER UNUSUAL nature of the 1-20-22 transition of power is supportive of what I'm talking about. This is outlined in the NEWSWEEK article I mentioned, with regard to some of the WITHHELD military information.
The justification for the Biden-fraud team NOT getting information on some sensitive military data was a simple declaration that the requested information was "Pre-Decisional", and this policy decision doubtless passed legal-eagle examination as well. Unless I am mistaken, it is STILL pre-decisional more than a year later!
I'm sure the Biden team is, like: "Hey Don't mind us. Take as long as you like, fellas, we're here to save America from the forces of evil"!
Yeah, sure. This corrupt administration was NOT happy with their denied requests last year, and doubtless are hearing footsteps now.
Presidents have unusually wide discretion in exercising war powers....unless proof of incompetence, or evidence of criminal intent exists. They can suspend Habeus Corpus and a host of other legal freedoms under martial law. Contrary to popular belief, it has happened before in America. Hell, he can suspend the entire Constitution if he deems that to be necessary. The actual reach of Trump's E/O #13887 isn't clear to us because it isn't INTENDED to be.
It is my belief that the military's unparalleled cyber-security experts are ABSOLUTELY on top of this ongoing criminal activity....and will take action eventually. It wouldn't surprise me in the LEAST if our Nov. 2022 elections GET MONITORED BY MILITARY PERSONNEL, with voter verifications (signatures) actually ENFORCED. Those that refused to offer proper IDs could be turned away! All mail-in ballots could be verified, by signature-box verifications as well. Suspect mail-in ballots would be isolated and examined for fraud. Military police wouldn't stand for Republican poll-watchers being EVICTED WITHOUT ANY REASONS GIVEN, as actually happened here in uber-corrupt Detroit!
Garth/Slaytan would be a good source of historical reference on this martial-law subject; I am not. Perhaps he will weigh in on this whole theory.
As I implied earlier: The new MILITARY TRIBUNAL COURTHOUSE AT GITMO is not being built for those last six shitheads.

The Jackel getting a job was just a theory based on everything else being backwards. However, him not getting a job may be a common thread in every reality. Except one, where he runs his childless uncle's pizza joint and OC is his pizza cook/janitor/border security guy. OC hates him there too. He only keeps the job because he can verbally abuse the shit out of his boss. Because his boss can't hear him.

I was afraid that reality had, in fact, been a hallucination after all. And the rest is pretty damned funny. You could write a comedy TV show with that concept.

Sorry cyber, but you’re giving the military too much credit. Joe Biden has the complete loyalty of every flag officer. Militarily we can’t go in because… our military can’t win fights and would desert en masse if there was a real war. At least 75% of our military are entitled, enfeebled government employees there for the 3 day work week and benefits. The fighting part of our Army is demoralized and degraded, and looked down upon by the rest. General Milley is the perfect example of our Army. A sharp uniform with shiny decorations that advertise “extremely tough, dedicated, strong fighting hero” but underneath that uniform is a fat, corrupt coward who would cancel a meeting if it was on the 3rd floor and the elevator was broken. Generals today were all too young for Vietnam and too old to have experienced actual combat in the last 20 years. They advanced their careers not on the battlefield but at dinner parties with politicians

^^^ I really can't believe our military is THAT bad. We've been in a hot shooting guerilla war for 20 years where we effectively fought; we killed MANY thousands of theirs vs. losing a FEW thousand of ours. No doubt a LARGE percentage of our active duty guys have actual combat experience. I think Gen. Milley ("I want to understand white rage", LOL) is NOT representative of our upper echelon officers. God, I hope not.
Remember, however, the behind-the-scenes machinations I believe are underway DO NOT involve actual combat, here or anywhere else. It simply involves the imposition of martial law to combat and eliminate election by foreign agents. This can be done without firing a shot, although some localized violence might occur of course. The virtually unprecedented secrecy regarding military information regarding current operations (particularly in the special-operations realm) happened fora reason. The secrecy regarding these specific plans has endured since Jan. 2020; also for a reason.
As I stated in the previous post, I am MORE interested in what you know about imposition of Martial Law. You seem well-read about military history in general; how realistic is any scenario where it might be used in the USA today?...Particularly as an extreme-but- justified method of PROTECTING OUR ELE CTIONS FROM FRAUD?
(I'm not sure if you've read my previous posts in the last two days, so I should mention that this phenomenon -- the secrecy and failure to fully cooperate with the O-Biden's transition team -- was covered by NEWSWEEK as he took office)
I ask that you listen to the 105 minutes or so of the 3 Devolution videos mentioned above and THEN decide if it's a realistic scenario. I believe it is, and there IS some subtle (and some less subtle) circumstances that make it credible.

I have learned, from the OD to some degree since the mid 2000's, not to disregard anything that I used to more readily categorize as 'conspiracy' theory. Executive Order mentioned above and whether or not we are now in year two of a rather clandestine operation against election fraud that first became generally apparent for all to see in both the 2016 and 2020 elections, is a conundrum for me. The circumstantial evidence seems almost insurmountable that something like this is going on. The first thing in this chain of events that really stood out to me was Comey re-opening and then closing out the HRC email investigation shortly before the 2016 election. One blatantly obvious explanation was that the Obama-to-HRC establishment was so utterly sure that she would be 'win' that she wanted that investigation put to death before she took office. The top two scenarios that make sense to me is that they had what I would euphemistically call an algorithm (whether it was actual software tools, old school ballot stuffing, or a combination of those systems) so entrenched that they 'knew' she could not lose. The other explanation was that the Obama-to-HRC team was entirely filled with complete morons. Either is possible, though I would think the latter is less plausible. Obama-to-HRC team had all the power in place, I don't consider it a conspiracy to think that Comey's actions were not coordinated with them. Of course, the 2016 'algorithms/systems' used to creative clear but believable victories did not account properly for DJT in 2016. It's not lunacy to consider these scenarios plausible even before you dig deep into actual data and information available on the 2016 election.
Obama-to-HRC team obviously retained enough power in electoral defeat to wage a sustained coup effort for the next four years. Examples of these operations (heh Russia) need no further mention here.
I've 'watched' every major election on TV since Reagan v Mondale. On election night 2020, the pause in updated election results were blatantly obvious. I started texting friends (younger nephews chain that was absolutely blowing up due to the wild swings in betting lines) that were completely shocked Trump was going to win (again, not liberal tears shock, primarily betting/odds talk, lots of semi-autists among their crew). I started the blowing up the chain by 9pm at the latest (Central) because the obvious stall job going on. Love or hate CNN, I always liked John King's map work on election night. Normally you would hear 'baskets of votes' and a breakdown of votes remaining county by county in almost every state. This among many other things came to a noticeable halt on election night. The fact that almost all MSM was very slow to call FL and the fact that DJT won FL by 2.5x % points more than he did in 2016, to me is a plausible trigger for the evident pause in results reporting. The FL results and the subsequent pause, circumstantially provide reasonable cause for a whole lot of concern. The fact that there was immediately and still in place, prohibition on talking about the pause after FL itself strengthens the reasonable cause for concern. I will concede that there are other plausible scenarios that could have legitimately hindered vote reporting in 2020 (ie mail in ballots), the fact that discussion on the topic is effectively prohibited on MSM, social media, and effectively in open conversations weakens the case that legitimate causes were the sole factor in those pauses.
Lastly, and broadly, since the inauguration in 2021 the level of charade has been so vast it's hard to even write a relatively concise paragraph about it. One logical conclusion is that it is purposely vast to cause general confusion. Beyond fake Oval Office Sets and either no or only brief and completely scripted press interactions, the level of incompetence on display by both Biden and Harris almost has to be on purpose. The idea that the Kamala Harris sit down with adolescent Canadian child actors to talk about craters on the moon was meant to signal that Biden/Harris are not in fact in charge of anything, is one of the only plausible conclusions that can be drawn. The other, would be that literally the entire Biden/Harris team is completely compiled of idiots. No sane person could have scripted, recorded, edited, and produced that video and think it was a good idea. Even if you thought it was a good idea, once you see the end result, any reasonable person would have just flushed it and gone with some no-sound clips and a narration over the top. That's one mundane example out of countless others.
I think that the conclusion I've come to from 2015 to 2022 is to focus more intently on things in hand (ie family, friends, house, cul de sac, local). It's all a distraction. Maybe the sham has really been evident all along and the seeds of realization for me that were planted in the early 2000's war mongering, took until 2015 to begin to bear fruit. My wife grew up in another country and she typically chuckled at the realization for us all that the government was completely and utterly corrupt. Don't get me wrong, I always understood corruption existed, I just thought we were a bit less corrupt than the rest of the world on average. Her expectation (Mexico) was basically that all government was all corrupt at all times.
I'm wandering off point now, if there ever was one. This is mainly a response to Cyber's last couple of posts that probably could have been handled with a like button.
I don't know where I am at this point on the topic. Are we saying we've hijacked the old Deep State and the new Deep State, in the form of military leadership is at the helm. So it's good Deep State now? Until it is bad Deep State?
Thus concludes my post. I now return to searching gardening topics on a non-google search engine.

^^^ I really can't believe our military is THAT bad. sorry bout that yes we’ve been quasi effective against a disorganized, shoeless band of rotten toothed, illiterate goat fuckers with WW1 technology, no artillery, no air power, no anti-air power, and an average IQ of 82. I assure you that he is. Only Miley and guys like him get promoted past major. They have NO balls. You think that a bunch of guys who wither against ludicrous charges of “racism” (before they’re even launched) will have balls in combat? Think again. They’re cowards through and through I suppose I’ll check those out as some point, but there is little hope for optimism. At least half of our military exists solely as a minority jobs program and is utterly incapable of operation

The older I get the more I realize how stupid most people are. I guess it's got to be difficult to keep track of your day-to-day life and all of your work obligations as well as remaining plugged into the outside world significantly enough so that you can keep a memory of what happened two weeks ago.
Or two months ago. Or two years ago.
But that seems like a big ask these days. Everyone constantly plugged into their phones and all of this other stuff that forces you to be living in a short-term world, people forget things that happened a few months ago. And they still listen to the people on the television who tell them that what happened a few months ago was not real and you need to worry about what's happening right now. There's no continuity to the story in the media because it changes so dramatically, so quickly.
I watched Josh Barnett on GRE the other day and he pointed out a good example of this.
The 5-foot Rambo in Ukraine, the one that everybody is currently swooning over? Same guy the swooners called a "corrupt politician" when he said Trump did not try to coerce him during the call the Dems impeached Trump over.
Now he's "a hero".
I wish the news didn't try to be entertaining.
