FIRST WE HAVE UKRAINE Crisis , then came Israel -Hamas War Crisis and NOW HAITI ? I am sure it's just another distraction were American dollars are going to be sent . PROBABLY The United States will send the military . BUT JUST WAIT .Heavily armed gangs are sowing mayhem, killing indiscriminately, breaking open prisons and blocking aid. Nearly half the country is hungry; 1 million people are starving. You's think it's there Gaza Strip , but no , it's another mess that the United States has had it's thumbs on for decades , now all Hell is broken loose !“It was all the CIA’s fault” has become a world renowned excuse for poor decision making on every level of governance. Like damn, it’s funny how the CIA only ever seems to target random nations with incompetent governments instead of their geopolitical rivals.I’m not trying to say that we shouldn’t hold the US accountable. The USA has done some seriously treacherous crimes to Haiti and that’s not anything new or even up for discussion. We know that already. I understand that it is not the Haitian/Port-au-Prince population that should be blamed and shamed just because their government leaders are useless sellouts who only hurt us. All of that really goes without saying.But all of the economic problems in Haiti end up circling back to corruption. The businessmen mulattos (and blacks) who hold all the wealth in Haiti and don’t share it with the masses to better the country. The politicians in office who only have their interest in mind. A seller must have a product to give to that they receive money for it. If the claims that Haiti has all these natural resources and stuff like oil is actually true, then if the people in power weren’t so damn corrupt we would be frickin Dubai right now. Or at least at the level of our neighbors. Is there truly nobody who lives this country enough to not sell it out to a bunch of blancs who don’t care about us? Imagine if all of that money went into causes worthwhile like Education, infrastructure, architecture, buildings, parks, environment conservation, crime, military, etc. instead of these folks pockets. That would be best for Haiti and everybody in the dang Americas. If the US really cared about us they would make it possible for us to be better and install some half-way decent leaders so we don’t have to run to Miami all the damn time.Second, the outcomes of prior foreign interventions in Haiti have been mixed-to-bad. This adds an element of Deja-vu and pessimism to any intervention effort. It’s likely a successful intervention would have to be far more involved than previous ones to prevent the country from just collapsing again once foreign troops leave, and nobody wants to be stuck rebuilding Haiti over a prolonged period of time. Prior interventions have also resulted in a significant anti-intervention sentiment among Haitians, some of whom also oppose any intervention that could prop up the corrupt government. Of course, even if a more inclusive and transparent government is formed, it is very hard to see such a government restoring democracy and civil order without foreign troops.In short, it seems like a foreign intervention is necessary to help Haiti get on its feet, but nobody actually wants a foreign intervention, so it’s struggling to move forward.Having your country collapse during the re-election campaign of a US president seems like a pretty unfortunate event. There's some conspiracy theories that the "powers that be" wants this problem to escalate to the DR and somehow merge the two countries into one (not gonna fkn happen) and/or let it get so bad for Haiti that the US sends their "freedom" to Haiti.The big deal with our little island is how resource rich it is and it's strategic position potential, it's a very desirable advantage to have. One of the biggest hurdles to this entire crisis is that Haiti hasn't had elections since 2016 (!) and their defacto PM isn't elected, and it's rumored that he has ties to the past president's assassination, who was already on dubious legitimacy due to the lack of elections that were postponed multiple times.So if an intervention is carried out, it will indirectly legitimize or give more power to an unelected and arguably unpopular politician. Sadly the DR's politicians and executive powers aren't the brightest and most suffer the same illness many latinamerican countries do, corruption by the bucketload, everyone has a price here.

GAZA GENOCIDE , its Complicated for America !
Gaza is almost Destroyed , population decimated almost 30, 000 dead . There is no excuse what Israel has done . It's time to hold Israel and America accountable. |
What is going on in Gaza has greatly penetrated the American government . Ir's not like a nation like Israel can get away with any of the alleged crimes against the Palestinians anymore . Social Media has changed the perception of the war . Since the October 7th attack , and almost 200 days later , support for Israel has gone down the drain , or flushed down the toilet . In consequence , it's also dragging down President Joe Biden , the United States foreign policy towards Israel . The U.S.-backed Israeli war against Gaza is now entering its fifth month. It would be impossible to overstate the horrifying destruction that has been unleashed on the people of Gaza. More than 32,000 have been killed. The vast majority — 70 percent of them — are women and children. More than 66,000 others are injured. And these statistics are likely a dramatic undercount; thousands of people remain missing, many of them are lying dead under the rubble of what was once their homes. (1)>> FOR my readers please read my lat post on Israel. 👉https://theun-politics.blogspot.com/2024/01/hear-o-israel-thou-art-fool.html 👈 . Now "Uncommitted" stance, condemning Biden's support for the Gaza genocide, and warning that defeat is inevitable unless there is a change in course before November.Has put the entire Biden administration on a "exposed" of unflattering hypocrisy by supping bombs that are killing literally thousands of innocent Palestinians .Interestingly enough , it's extremely hard to criticize Israel for anything it does , you'll get a anti-Semite label . Most of the western media , the American media , the American government will not even use the word "genocide" if it applies to the Palestinian people in Gaza .Or, you know, people read the opinions of neutral genocide experts who say it’s genocide even back in November. Raz Segal, the program director of genocide studies at Stockton University, concretely says it is a “textbook case of genocide.” Segal believes that Israeli forces are completing three genocidal acts, including, “killing, causing serious bodily harm, and measures calculated to bring about the destruction of the group.” He points to the mass levels of destruction and total siege of basic necessities—like water, food, fuel, and medical supplies—as evidence. It's not about the semantics or belittling the holocaust, and quite frankly, that you felt the need to throw that last bit in, as if someone is actually doing that here, is ridiculous. Most people objectively know that Israel isn't just blindly leveling Gaza or shooting everything that moves, but for many it's coupled with a fairly reasonable belief that Israel doesn't care about collateral damage beyond lip service. In just a few months, Israel killed roughly 1% of the population in the gaza strip, wounded at least another 3%, and thousands more missing and presumed dead while the rest of the strip tries not to starve during a humanitarian crisis while they survive with dwindling supplies of potable water, medicine, shelter, the list goes on. This is not ok, and just by the numbers the conversation about genocide needs to happen, even if Israel is going to beat its chest in the international courts and say it's justified, because it's only going to get worse as it goes on.The U.S. is not some outside observer. It is complicit in all of this. It’s an active partner in the carnage, the bombings, the attacks against defenseless civilians. And it’s leading the international charge to defund the most important aid organization operating in Gaza. And yet, we are told that Biden — who apparently spends his mornings watching Morning Joe on MSNBC — is losing patience with Netanyahu. And should it get to that point, my question then will be "If Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip are so reprehensible, why was it not reprehensible when people had the power to step in and stop it but chose not to?". I guess if you look at it from the perspective of the tactically superior force doing the lions share of the killing there’s never genocide it’s neutralizing the enemy to save society. If the n&@zis had won they certainly wouldn’t have called it a holocaust. So I guess as long as the majority of the worlds developed countries still back Israel and don’t bring any consequences than you can continue to bomb/starve the population to death. I think when some of these kids see there home and entire family turned into gory chunks it’ll make them think “huh maybe Israel isn’t that bad there fighting the terrorist”.And think about how many Palestinian lives Israels has taken over the decades. We can condemn Oct 7th, but it didn't come out of nowhere. You can kick a dog, but you shouldn't be surprised if you kick it for years it might go and bite someone. Anyway we're talking about genocide, saying things like: What is proportional? Hell if I know, but your evocative descriptions appeal to passions, and the passions have no place in decisions about how much death and destruction to add to the world.Gaza is more than half rubble, hordes are wounded and most of the hospitals are non-functional, people are starving in tents while their homes sacked. What kind of person sees that and says, "well, that's not proportional enough yet, is it?"
NOTES AND COMMENTS:
(1)>> FOR my readers please read my lat post on Israel. Big terrorists vs small terrorists Yeah maybe if Israeli maniacs stopped killing people in the west bank, shooting kids and jailing them, stealing their lands, then they wouldn't "sought it" to attack on October 7th . American Tax payer dollars have been funding Israels occupation of Palestinian lands for decades . Our money has been used to send bomb's to kill , its not acceptable anymore , we have a really big fish and a really small fish swimming in the same waters, how does the small fish thrive? Or a better question, how does the small fish not get fucked? At all costs, it should avoid provoking the big fish.Palestinians deserve a place of their own, but small fish have to fight for their place in different ways than killing. Every terroristic act coming from Palestinians is further justification in the minds of Israelis of their expansion into Palestine. And who would blame them in reality? Who would suffer a neighbor who fights for their rights with suicide bombs and the slaughter of civilians? What do you call bombing Hospitals ,Universitys , and every place where ppl can go and hide for safty . Killing 400 person in one air strike cuz there was one Hamas fighter in the area . Forbidden food and water from 2.2 Million person , when you public officials say on the Media we are fighting animals not humans .when the Israelis ambassador in London said we are looking for destruction not accuracy and there is no innocent children in Gaza . Its not war its genocide. Tell me what do you call this ?

2024 AD . TRUMP & BIDEN REMATCH !?
So congratulations, Biden gets his rematch but little did he know, he’s the only one Trump can beat. (1)>>A Trump vs Biden rematch for president is incredibly depressing & demoralizing.It's possibly the worst options Americans have ever had for president.Anyone who's excited is either stupid, brainwashed, lying, or getting paid. Yep, FOLKS someone is defiantly manipulating our election ....we are deejay VU allover again! With the election less than 9 months away, Joe Biden (38%) is near his all-time low approval (37%). A 2020 Trump vs Biden rematch looks certain. I have MAGA friends that really want Trump back . (2)>>R'N ALL , Trump should have won 2020 , that I have to admit . Now to my Democrat friends , I admit that I told them back in 2020 that the worse of the two evils was Biden .... Biden , is part of some Deep State option , but who you'd think is running the country now ? Obama -Michelle , or Hillary Clinton ? (3)>>We live in CRAZY times . The Trump-Biden rematch is like being at a party and choosing whether you want the really drunk guy or the really stoned guy to drive you home “I’ll just walk”. Funny thing is that Russia's Putin said that he "prefers" Joe Biden over Trump. Don't know if that was a fucken joke on Putin's part , (3.1)>>but Biden has made relations with Russia to the brink of War . Or, to quote Julian Assange talking about the race between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, the election between Donald Trump and Joe Biden is like being asked to choose between “cholera or gonorrhea." It's the modern version of the "Still Sanders" crowd. Idealism doesn't win elections. I've learned to vote against what I hate to get the most change done. This is coming from a former idealist. I'm of the opinion that it's not even the issue of 30% of the country not voting. It's more the issue of the electoral college. I think the most common reason I hear for not voting other than not being informed is that their vote doesn't matter because they live in California, NY, etc. It's bad logic, don't get me wrong, but what's the point of unprecedented voter turnout if the only votes that matter come from Ohio, Georgia, and Arizona? (4)>>That’s a weird hypothetical but I don’t really buy the underlying premise. It’s not the media conspiring to keep them down, ultimately it’s the primary voters deciding who they want. Dean Phillips especially is not an inspiring candidate that can actually pull people off of an incumbent Biden.Both Biden and Trump are/have been President. That alone makes me skeptical of this claim. Both have a form of incumbency advantage people like to pretend doesn't exist anymore.The reason people dropped out is because they could read the same polling as the rest of us and realized they would be idiots not to. Joe Biden's base was always the party as a whole's, that is middled aged black women. The first three states had almost none of them but Super Tuesday was dominated by them. It was far better to bow out as a winner than waiting until after being shellacked.The story of the 2020 primary was that all the polls from the start had Biden beating the field easily but the media not wanting to believe it because he wasn't something new like Pete or Kamala.We will all witness both President Trump's Floor in the primary, and his Ceiling in the general. Last time he lost because of his ceiling, Covid, and the first debate performance. That loss came before J6. President Biden, looks, sounds, and is old, and no one likes Harris. (5)>>But 2 things are true of President Trump whether you love him or hate him...He takes up all the oxygen in the room, in all places and in all cases. This has the effect of making the focus of the election on him rather than anyone else including the incumbent.He is like a jack hammer outside your window at 5am. Unignoreable. No matter if you are happy for that jack hammer because it is fixing something you want, or its not and its just keeping you awake. A vote for him is a vote for a jack hammer you can't ignore.If it were anyone other than President Trump running against President Biden, the focus would be on Biden. But Trump trumps anyone else he is running against. So it will simply be a matter of what his Floor and Ceiling of support are.Even if everyone voted Trump could still win the Presidency with less than 50% of the popular vote. (6)>>Our government is poorly designed if the goal is a citizen based democracy. Instead we have the rules of a representative Republic which favors states over people as the primary unit interacting with the federal government.So no, voting isn't a panacea to everything that ails this country. Starting to better educate people on how our government actually works would be a good start. It’s certainly a problem, but Trump is here because of the MAGA cult and they actually donate and fund a lot of his campaign. He is going to win this primary despite the Koch brothers and many other big donors picking other candidates. Everyone is going to have to turn out and vote to keep our (7)>>SO CALLED democracy.While campaign finance is a big issue we need to address in our elections, it’s not the biggest problem. The bigger problem is a privileged electorate who believe they need to be catered to rather than understanding they live in a participatory democracy. Most people largely ignore the local/state down-ballot races, and the local ballot issues that affect their day to day life far more than federal politics do.At some point we, as citizens, need to take responsibility for the problems our lethargy has created, and once again participate in the governing of our towns/cities, counties, states, and country, and stop blaming someone else for issues we still actually have the power to rectify. (8)>>The 2024 election matters. It's fair to say we need better candidates and better electoral processes in general, but this narrative about Biden sucks is the worst thing anybody could say against US democracy at this point in time short of supporting Trump. The US is a crumbling Empire operating under the illusion of being a democracy, with a corrupt economic system that has failed, a Govt and media that has been purchased by the ruling class and corporations and has become such a joke, that we are on a rematch of Biden vs Trump.
NOTES AND COMMENTS :
(1)>>A Trump vs Biden rematch for president is incredibly depressing & demoralizing. This whole election with the rematch between Trump & Biden is probably being manipulated and controlled by some vary dark DEEP STATE actors . Why say that ? Don't you think it's strange that this is the only two choices that Americans have ? If there is any REAL DR . EVIL , he's pretty much setting this country for a bang . Come November am sure that our elections are going to plunge into chaos , probably some false flag event , international crisis . But there are two caveats to that. First, their overall theory of the case is correct. US two-party duopoly is broken. This is a case of overwhelming market failure. Politics is not responding to the massive voter disenchantment with what is on offer. The fact that both party’s nominations have been sewn up without either nominee going near a debate stage is pretty spectacular. (2)>>R'N ALL , Trump should have won 2020 , that I have to admit . I have concluded that President Trump's future response to anything with regard to the 2020 election should be a very declarative "I Won"! The legacy media cannot admit to itself or it's audience that neither they themselves nor the or any State Election Agency did an indepth investigation into the 2020 election, period. That is just a fact. No serious looks at consent decrees were made and no questions were asked about subverting the sovereign legal authority of state legislatures regarding voting laws by State boards of Election, Secretaries of State, Governors, etc none of which had standing or Constitutional authority to change laws or rules even during a pandemic. Congress has no authority over State Legislatures. The Constitution is explicitly clear. State Legislatures alone have plenary authority over elections. Recounts of the same ballots is not an investigation if fraudulent .The Trump-Biden rematchllots have been inserted into the ballots collected. Ballots can be counted dozens of times with the same result. However, determining whether all ballots are valid and legal is a very different matter. Once a ballot has been separated from it's envelope it is the same as every other ballot, unless it has been machine voted. Wisconsin had a ballot harvesting scheme in State Nursing Homes that raised serious concerns. Ballots were being voted by patients who were severely incapacitated. In Michigan there were precincts with more than 100% of registered voters voting, all of them for the same candidate Biden That is a statistical impossibility. Vote counting stopping nearly simultaneously in PA, AZ, NC, WI, MI and others. PA did resume after a time only to stop again, but they had already sent home election count observers. Cameras found ballots being fed through at least one machine multiple times. In Wisconsin counting Machines that were not supposed to be able to connect to the internet in fact did because the election results center was moved to a hotel and results were streamed wirelessly on an internet connected modem inside the building to an internet connected computer. This doesn't even begin to consider the millions of ballots mailed to addresses that were no longer valid. Ballots to persons who had moved, married, died, changed their name were sent out indiscriminately to voter rolls not purged in many locations in many decades. In Georgia, election materials were destroyed at a storage facility where mail in ballot envelopes had been sent to be held for 22 months according to Federal Election Commission rules. The list of irregularities is endless and the number of courts willing to use standing an excuse not to be involved is beyond belief, including the Supreme Court in an action brought by Texas and over a dozen other states.(3)>>We live in CRAZY times . The Trump-Biden rematch. I feel the timing of what happens to Trump in his legal battles is crucial, people don't turn against someone they are supporting, when the legal challenges are brought, that only galvanises support as people push back on the apparent persecution. The fall happens usually when the judgement is made and people can no longer deny the evidence. If nothing major breaks to turn people against Trump before the election he could very well end up better off from the legal challenges, and it would have to be something pretty major because there's already plenty of very damning evidence against him that he seems to have survived. But if something terrible were you happen to collapse support for Trump soon the GOP have a great backup option in Nikki Haley who I really struggle to see Biden beating in a general election. It's also unclear how much of Trump's legal woes is priced into the current polling if it's a lot it's possible if some of the cases go better than expected for him he could even get a boost. I think it's a fools game to try to predict these things ahead of time, to me the polls show it's very close and all to play for, but with a slight advantage GOP and I'm inclined to believe them.(3.1)>>but Biden has made relations with Russia to the brink of War . Theoretically I believe Biden and his cronies are up to something with the election , war with Russia would be catastrophic , but it's the BIGGEST FALSE FLAG to suspend the election and keep Biden in office much longer . If Russia isn't busy steering a presidential election they're taking part in midterms and elsewhere steering legislation in their favor and otherwise just sowing the seeds of discontent to divide public opinion unnecessarily. People who are Democrats will believe that Trump is Putin's stooge, mainly because Biden is so stupid that he just outright talks about poking Putin's whenever it's brought up. But they downplay it, maybe he's just a foolish asset, maybe he just admires a dictator. People will see report after report of Ukrainian money going straight into Biden pockets, and then just shrug and say maybe they were tricked. It's insanity. It's right there, the obvious reality that the deep state has been flooding the country with foreign propaganda and many news sites are happy to help. War is a BIG DISTRACTION in our election year and its going to get worse .(4)>>That’s a weird hypothetical but I don’t really buy the underlying premise. And voters won't show up for Biden because he didn't refund their student loans and/or they're pissed at his Israel/Palestine stance Many Americans don't want anymore endless wars , with specialty Ukraine situation.The Israel/Palestine conflict has divided Democrats internally to a degree not seen very often. The only way I see it not being a negative for Democrats in 2024 is if the conflict subsides somewhat in upcoming months and the more vocal people “forget” about it. Which is definitely something Americans are known for. Democrats get divided internally all the time. Democrats in disarray is a meme for a reason.Nobody is going to give a shit about Israel/Palestine by the Summer of 2024 and I would bet on that. Americans have short memories and get bored easily and the discourse around Israel/Palestine has already started to bore the average voter. I’m skeptical that Gen Z is willing to throw away, abortion access, protecting lgbtq rights, and the only party to even pretend to care about climate change, over the Israel-Palestine conflict. This is literally their future that’s on the ballot and they know how Trump will govern.I’m not saying Biden has it in the bag, but there’s just so much more baggage on the Trump side that it’s going to be very hard for him to overcome. Besides how on earth can anyone actually think a Republican administration would be better for Palestine? (5)>>But 2 things are true of President Trump whether you love him or hate him...The only way Trump isn't getting the nomination is if he dies. I cannot imagine SCOTUS agreeing with Colorado on keeping him off the ballot. Even if they do, it might not be decided until the election is over. I don't think any of the indictments are going to keep him from office, and he'll probably be able to keep them in appeal limbo until after the election anyway, at which time he would pardon himself (if he wins). He's going to get the nomination for his party ... it's rigged as much as the Democratic party under Biden. It seems like the process that defined the 2016 primaries is happening again. Trump and his supporters are very good at taking down the current frontrunner until nobody can challenge him. We saw it happen with Jeb, then Rubio, then Cruz and now arguably DeSantis. Nikki Haley has flaws, as well as "flaws" where the Republican base is concerned, and they haven't been given much of a challenge yet.People have been saying this since Biden got elected yet when it comes to it Dems still did well in 22 and 23. So what exactly is different about the inflation and economic issues than what was going on when Dems won before? (6)>>Our government is poorly designed if the goal is a citizen based democracy. What I find strange is how people will pick an actual insurrectionist over a guy who supports Israel just like every politician has (including Trump) for the last several decades.There's some pretty egregious double standards going here. Democrats must be perfectly moral, perfectly capable superheroes all the time without fail. If they are flawed at all then BAM! They lose support in droves. Meanwhile, we can't even expect a Republican to not intentionally get hundreds of thousands killed (via COVID and the anti-vax/mask nonsense, for example).The bar is set far too high for Dems and far, FAR too low for Repubs is what I'm saying.So you're probably right that these are reasons why Biden may not beat Trump and I find it insane.(7)>>SO CALLED democracy.In 2024, many voters will literally just be choosing whether they preferred 2016-2020 or 2020-2024. If it comes down to that comparison, the outcome could certainly be different, though I’m not going to say I know for certain which way those voters would break.The lasting impact of Biden’s democracy policy will only emerge over time, and it will ultimately hinge on the answers to three open questions: Can the administration’s promising thematic democracy initiatives be more fully integrated into U.S. bilateral country policies? Can these initiatives be brought together to ensure they add up to more than the sum of their parts? And can the inherently long-term nature of the bets that the administration is making be underpinned by successful efforts to institutionalize and sustain these policies beyond 2024?In 2020, Biden was running against an unpopular incumbent in an economic recession. In 2024, he will be an unpopular president who presided over high inflation and two polarizing foreign wars. Unless Biden somehow performs better than his 2020 bid, any decrease in support will result in him loosing key battleground states.If Biden gets injured or gets ill, or faints in public (like Hillary), think about the press coverage that will generate. And now think about how close the margins were in 2020 on the key battleground states. This election is anything but over.(8)>>The 2024 election matters. Do you think the average American is already betting on a Presidential race 11 months out? I don't think the betting odds represent the average person any better than polls do in present day. Probability of Biden winning Democratic nomination as well as Biden winning the 2024 presidential election has been plummeting over the past week. Michelle Obama seems to have been gaining a lot of traction in terms of her odds to win the presidential election. Biden’s chances of winning the Democratic nomination has plummeted by almost 20% within the last week or two. Michelle Obama went from just a 2% chance of winning the presidency to over 7%. Perhaps we have a dark horse candidate for the Democratic Party. Meanwhile Trump has been relatively stable at around 50%, he has been fluctuating from 49% to 51% to win the presidency.Dismissing the possibility of a candidate's victory without a comprehensive analysis of the current political climate—factoring in the latest polls, demographic shifts, and on-the-ground campaign efforts—reflects a misunderstanding of the unpredictable nature of electoral politics. A responsible approach to political discourse demands more than parroting partisan lines; it requires critical engagement with a broad spectrum of information, going beyond the echo chamber to truly grasp the state of play in American elections. Relying solely on media outlets that confirm your personal biases can skew your understanding of the political climate. It's crucial to engage with a diverse range of news sources, including those that challenge your viewpoints, to gain a well-rounded perspective. Echo chambers do a disservice to the complexity of American politics, where voter behavior is not monolithic but rather a tapestry of diverse and shifting opinions. This is why "October surprises" have such a huge impact, like What happened with Hilary Clinton in 2016.If the only thing you know when you finally start paying attention is Trump's words vs. Biden's, with zero context or knowledge of what is exaggeration or outright lies, then you'll vote based on that information alone.

California & The West , Coming Utilities Crash !
WELL with MUCH SPECULATION with regards to the nationwide AT&T system failure that we just had a few days ago . IS this a PRELUDE to what is going to happen ? I have to start in my state of California with this rant . NOW WHEN I am talking about right now is currently " ALL UTILITIES " [ Water , electrical and communications] . ERR , if there was an apocalypse scenario, then I don't think debt would matter then, right? Lol. I'm just saying... but in all regards that is fantastic model to be debt-free and I think that should be everybody's goal. Same as prepping for anything else but it might last longer. Unless there is an EMP strong enough to knock offline hundreds of substations offline at once power would be back in a few weeks at most. Don’t get me wrong, if something like that happens supply chains will be locked up for years and would cause a HUGE problems with the cold food supply and those who depend on medications. Just prep with three months as goal and you should be fine for literally all but the absolutely worst situation.The question isn’t weather a hack would take the grid down but scale of preps. This kind of attack has happened to Ukraine during its war with Russia and hacks were less effective than expected. This hasn’t, apart from this, been used in a major war but we can predict based on similar events. The big issue in the cyber attacks on infrastructure has less to do with functionality, at least in my understanding, and more to do with files being tracked to see who owes what. At the point of a cyber attack that lasts for weeks, we will all be in a world of hurt and nothing can be prepared for it. But a few weeks with no power isn't going to change my life much. I have lots of food and water.
AT&T CYBERATTCK ???
So first , I will like to start with AT&T , which probably going to crash first . If a EMP attack was to happen , it will be like a gut blow out with the old telephone company , that has probably the shadiest billing services , is pulling the plug on it's copper landline service for a more internet based service which could crash if there was a cyber attack . AT&T filed an application to end its Carrier of Last Resort (COLR) obligation in March 2023. The first of several public hearings on the application is being held today by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), which is considering AT&T's request. An evidentiary hearing has been scheduled for April, and a proposed decision is expected in September.Recent comments from residents stressed the importance of landlines for emergency services. Residents also described problems with wireless service that could serve as the only replacement for copper networks in areas that AT&T hasn't deemed profitable enough for fiber lines.
If it’s not a cyber incident it’s not required to be reported. This could be an internal routing issue. Isn't it hilarious how all these suits and companies laid off their IT and Security teams; and then all of a sudden we start seeing catastrophic service failures and security incidents??? It's like the positions are critical or something.The number of direct physical attacks on U.S. power grids soared 77 percent last year to 163, a record-high, according to the US Energy Department. Since last September, attacks were reported on 18 substations and one power plant each in Florida, Oregon, Washington and the Carolinas. The attacks underscored the vulnerability of the U.S. electric grid, which keeps electricity flowing across more than 470,000 miles of circuits and includes more than 7,300 power plants, 160,000 miles of high-voltage power lines and 55,000 transmission substations.We didn't know for several hours what was causing the outage last week, but what we did see has given some reassurance. Federal authorities really jumped to action fast. The FBI, Homeland Security and the Federal Communications Commission all worked together to make sure there was not a bigger threat.Of all the contingencies we can prep for, CI & ICS vulnerability is at the forefront. Dirty bombs, EMPs, civilian war…all of those are much less likely than a nation-state hacker jacking up our water purification and power plants (for example). Lots of precedent in that space already: https://www.eenews.net/articles/inside-the-water-sectors-push-to-gird-for-russian-hackers/Gen-Pop doesn’t realize the full magnitude of how perilous our CI & ICS landscape is. It’s one of the major verticals in my professional space. The Feds (yeah, yeah..pls save it) DO get it and have a sizable initiative to fortify it…but it’s a long way from being bulletproof.If you can check off the bulletpoints in the post above, you’ve got a fighter’s chance at navigating a disruptive cyber event.
PG&E CRASHING in TWO YEARS 2025 AD.
Besides AT&T going crashing . The West Coast , pretty much California is being set up for a major power grid catastrophe . It may not be TERRORISM . But a big company failure .I agree that PG&E is corrupt and inept and needs to be totally revamped. But being “rescued” by the SF Board of Supervisors is like Bozzo the clown dashing into the cockpit of a crashing airliner to save the day. PG&E is trying to squeeze the consumer to pay for upgrades in how electrical systems are delivered . Now the new scheme is to charge consumers based on income , rather than use. This seems clearly meant to recapture revenue from solar customers. Solar customers that generate all the electricity they use would pay up to $1100 per year in additional charges despite effectively using zero power. Might as well add battery power and go completely off grid at that point.“The proposal recommends a qualified, independent state agency or third party be responsible for verifying customers’ total household incomes”. WE can also guess that PG&E has it's pockets in the state governor's pockets like NEWSOM , who has benefited to the corrupt utilities company . "Customers for California’s three major power companies — including PG&E ratepayers — can expect to see some big changes in their monthly electricity bills in the coming years as compliance with a new state law begins to unfold."This is so useless. Which law?This is blatantly discrimination. What if high income earners are actually more conservative to the power usage. Doesnt make any sense. It feels like just another way of getting more money because of solar. And the relevance of this tale isn’t just confined to the West Coast—it should alarm anybody who’s ever turned on a light. As Blunt writes: “PG&E’s failure isn’t just a California story. It is, in many ways, a harbinger of challenges to come as climate change exacerbates the vulnerability of the grid, built decades ago to serve a different era of electricity demand.” This 2025 crisis was not simply caused by negligence and poor planning, he outcome is dismal when the growing spectre of climate change collides with negligence, greed, and market-driven interference. Blunt points out that utility companies across the U.S. West face the same threat of fire, while in the rest of the country climate change-fuelled storms menace the grid—and in many of those places, companies must also sacrifice safety in the service of profit.That (scope) is true. Plus some of the lines are VERY old.But, they dug their own grave. They have not been maintaining them properly for ages. And, on a similar vein, they knew the industry was going to change radically, at least a decade ago. Maybe they (and most of us) didn't know it was going to change that fast but it is their business to plan for changes.I have *very* little sympathy for PG&E. But... at the end of the day they are a for profit company. On the other hand, the CPUC is supposed to represent us, the California consumers, and they have not.
EMP ATTACK ???
In 2034: A novel of the next world war”, this is employed against the U.S. and results in a crippling of the U.S.’s basic functions. Very possible with all the proliferation of tech and reliance on digital transactions versus hard currency. EVERYTHING is run by computers, gasoline pumps, water, power grids. And you can guarantee when people are in line at Walmart at they can't checkout they'll just leave with baskets of shit. It won't take but a few weeks to turn into chaos. Cyber attacks should be taken far more seriously. The book by Ted Koppel, Lights Out, elaborates how catastrophic things could be (and how vulnerable we are.) It is more of a documentary with interviews, etc.It seems like in today's day and age, some foreign nations choose the death by a thousand cuts method. So they won't bring everything down all at once, but little by little over time.And if COVID was a soft test of our mental, I fear your right. I suppose for those taking notes, Americans really do only need like 3 weeks to forget a major event and move on. survive the main wave of panic and things should be manageable 😂 This and financial issues are my focuses in prepping. Imagine America paralyzed for even a month with limited access to internet, payment systems, critical infrastructure.It’s not even about a single blow, just the ability to cause widespread chaos solely through the internet/computers that’s so terrifying. In that scenario, I’m not worried about Chinese paratroopers or a secret migrant army - I’m worried about everyone losing their minds with fear.Seriously, I think I’m 100x more likely to get killed by some panicking Americans than any foreign soldier. We are the biggest threat to ourselves.

The NAVALNY MYSTERY ?
Scott Ritter: "Both... we tried to put lipstick on this pig and turn him into the symbol of democracy, but he was never a democrat. He was always a disruptive force, trained, funded and directed by the CIA."
The "death of Alexei Navalny " is pretty much a mystery , even if you leave aside the propaganda that he was poisoned by Putin . And you look at this man was called a opposition leader fighting against Putin for Democracy. Yes, you probably believe everything that the mainstream news media hype's up . You have been taken to the Psyop Cleaners ! I'm not trying to defend Russia, or Putin. I don't know what this situation is in Russia because I'm constantly berated by anti-russia news media. But why is it that most western democracies are coming out saying that Navalny's death is of grave concern? Meanwhile they are quiet on the deaths of thousands of women & children? All while Russia is inviting Palestinian leadership to talks, and generally supports their emancipation from Isr@el? The Western media continuously referred to him as the (1)>>“Russian Opposition leader” despite his party not even serving in the State Duma. How can you be the Leader of the Opposition when you or your party has zero legislative representation? Secondly, Navalny was ideologically very close to Putin, “Opposition Leader” makes it seem like he actually opposes the Kremlin on ideological grounds. He doesn’t, he’s a notorious right-winger (like Putin) who supported the Russian annexation of Crimea. There are a lot of strange things about Navalny that don't make any sense in the first place Am going say this first. Yes, it's his home. Yes, he has every right to go there. But he knew ful well that he had violated parole , of a three year sentence and he had to have known at the very least he'd be arrested. It was brave, for sure. However, it's likely going to cost him his life. He barely survived Putin's alleged first attempt. He should have fled to the United States, sought asylum. (1.2)>>So it's HIS OWN FAULT . How do you legally exile a citizen of your country? It’s not Middle Ages or something.Also, he returned to Russia on his own accord, knowing too well what would happen to him, probably to become a martyr or because he received some guarantees from his foreign benefactors. I don’t pity him, he knew what he was doing. The same mistake won't be made twice. The timing is hilarious. Putin- Tucker interview comes out and mentions trying to end the war with Ukraine, but the USA said Ukraine should fight. And then this bomb drops a week later. Americans are too stupid to realize their government is not working for the people. And any government that is, is not an ally to the u.s. glad more people are aware of the blatant propaganda and false flags to implement this perspective. Remember that already NOW US President Joe Biden is pushing for harder sanctions against Russia , which whatever they'll work is never worked before . So , to TRUTHFUL , with the HARD TRUTH about Navalny. They're using his death to catapult him into the limelight. You can guarantee that he knew his time was up, remember the CIA are running Ukraine, and you can bet that there are Ukrainian prisoners in Russian prisons and guards that can be bought with connections back to the CIA. He had become a lame duck to them, why not kill him, blame Putin, use that narrative to force through the $60B 'aid' package and take the light of the Tucker Carlson interview, and how beautiful and peaceful Russia is. Plus the fact that every MSM outlet along with almost every western gov't and celebrities are all telling us what a wonderful man he was for opposing Putin... he was caught on video planning a coup. The Story of Navalny is such a big lie . He was just like Venezuelan pretender Guaido, following the re-election of Maduro, escaped Venezuela voluntarily. He was promoted by Western nations as the true president of Venezuela (despite having never been a candidate in the election), to the point where the UK seized assets of $1 billion gold that belonged to Venezuelan officials, deposited in UK banks, and declared Guaido to be the true caretaker of those assets.Navalny is an old propaganda device, from previous western brainwashing cycles. Every time a popular neonazi like him gets arrested western press calls it Putin arresting his "opposition" then unanimously declare this neonazi to be the true leader of Russia. So now they can overthrow Russia, kill Putin and put Navalny in charge or whoever doesn't matter, they don't like Navalny its more of a pre-written script with interchangeable characters. The USA is so corrupted by propaganda that they will tell you one mans death is a tragedy while ignoring a genocide, and people eat it up. It's easy to get lost in the death of one individual, regardless of what they stood for, because that is easy to understand. The deaths of thousands, possibly millions of people is hard to understand, most people can't even imagine it. So using the death of one man that was a corrupt tool of the system himself, is a great way to distract the masses from something else. Like using a card trick in one hand, while the magician steals your wallet with the other hand.
NOTES AND COMMENTS: (1)>>“Russian Opposition leader” . Navalny received payment in Bitcoin from the US Department of International Affairs for his work against the Russian government. In addition, he also evaded paying taxes, for which he was imprisoned for 3.5 years. So he is not a political prisoner at all. Navalny was supposed to be in prison for many more years, so he wasn't a real opposition to anyone. Apparently, Tacker's interview got too popular lately, so there was a need for something like Navalny's death to happen. Now the question is, who benefited from his death, and out of those who had capacity to pull that off. Navalny was involved with neo-nazi groups in early 2000s and when his open radical nationalism and racism against non-slavic etthnic group was no longer appealing to the audience, he switched sides. Threw under the bus his former comrades which lead to jail time for many. His entire career was built on empty promises and exposee reports against oligarchy as well as government members. "Independent" media was building imagine of martyr who fights against the evil regime while Navalny himself was financed by oligarchy. His entire political career brough no positive changes to the country even on minor, local scale.I looked up about Navalny. Here's some facts. In 2007, Navalny co-founded the National Russian Liberation Movement,, which sets immigration policy as a priority. The movement allied itself with two nationalist groups, the Movement Against Illegal Immigration and Great Russia. In the same year, Navalney released several anti-immigration videos, including one where he advocated for the deportation of all migrants. Later, through his social media channels, Navalny and his team published material about corruption in Russia including detailed information about a large multimillion dollar villa owned by Putin, and Navalny organised political demonstrations against Putin and his government ... which received large western media coverage, though actual turnout in the demonstrations was just in the hundreds. Navalny was not actually a major political threat to Putin. His Russian following was relatively small, and in the 2013 Moscow mayoral election Navalney came in second with 27% of the vote.(1.2)>>So it's HIS OWN FAULT . I find it hilarious when I see all these Russophobes in Europe call Navalny 'a hero of democracy' The reason why the west adored him is because he was ready to serve Russia on a plate had he ever ascended to power. He was pretty much the west's #1 Russian stooge. He went to Germany for medical treatment and what shocked me was him returning to Russia when he could've lived comfortably lived in Germany or any other western European nation of his choice. Heck even the Americans would've welcomed him with open arms had he chose to go there but since he was hell bent on causing chaos in Russia he flew back. Navalny's comments about Asians and brown people also say a lot about him. Mind you Russia is a very diverse nation which has citizens with Asian facial features. According to Navalny, 'Asian & brown people aren't human'.

SUPER BOWEL 58 & RIGGED CONSPIRACY THEORY .
The same deluded people who were saying that we have to support Ukraine and now Israel missed a good distraction . The 58th Superbowl . (1)>>COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT! The 49ners played what looked like a good game , then somehow how the Chiefs were so behind , they all of a sudden towards the ending , going into overtime Chiefs won the game .I honestly can’t stop laughing imagine believing that Kansas City, Missouri Chiefs owes by a very religious family is the secret leftist agenda. 2024 is wild. The whole game was vary bizarre, it didn't look like the players were playing only past half time ... while the 49ers looked that they were going to win , it seemed so , but it was all to fool the audience . CRAZY TIMES we live in folks ! If our election system is rigged and scripted ....the "beloved " (1.2)>>*SUPER BOWEL is scripted and rigged .After the Superbowl, I'm pretty sure everything is rigged now. Elections, football games, pro wrestling, The Voice, etc. As a niner fan this game finally opened my eyes that the NFL is scripted all these years I wasted years of crushing my mental health over scripted football. *WORSE PART about the 58th Bowel was the constant bombardment of propaganda of the likes of Satanic imagery , Pro-Israeli imagery , BLM propaganda and yes of course (2)>>Taylor Swift . If you watched the halftime show and didn't think it was satanic your in trouble, but if you did think it was satanic and you watched it anyways your all good. People were talking about the NFL script writers were getting lazy with their storylines with the Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce stuff, but in reality their actual source was just flipping the NBA script. Unfortunately for our beloved Niners, the real dagger on Sunday was actually Steph Curry's late three against Phoenix on Saturday night. The truth was there this whole time, we just had to open our third eyes to see it.I feel like every opinion about the 49ers losing is entirely based on beliefs people had before the game. The 49ers had an exceptional defense which is why Chiefs were kicking the ball so much. Honestly it seemed to me like the 49ers were giving their all and the Chiefs weren't in the first half but still pulled through, but I could say that about most Chiefs games that's just how they playIf you thought Purdy was a bad QB carried by his supporting cast then Purdy is the reason they lost. If you think Kyle Shanahan is an overrated choke artist then they lost because they stopped running the ball for two drives. (3)>>I BELIEVE that the some one was paid to win and the other team was paid to loose the game .The woke ratings starved NFL wants woke Travis Kelce proposing to Taylor Swift on the 50 yard line. Now lets get real ...what about all the Deep State propaganda, Oh, Satire. At first I thought this was serious and then realized it was humorous .There was a long ass commercial for Christians that showed a bunch of people getting their feet washed by someone else. Just a bunch of still images of that and then at the end it said something like "Jesus didn't hate. He washed feet." Not even joking.The fact that it's the second time a Superbowl game went in OT is no surprise. Once I saw the camera keep zooming in to Taylor Swift who was accompanied by Lana del Rey, ice spice, etc., my gut just told me it's a scam.I have had suspicions for a while, but when the NFL started partnering with the gambling industry, I became convinced. You don't partner with the most corrupt industry on the planet and somehow keep the stink off. So, of course the NFL is dirty. There's too much money at stake for it not to be.NFL has been loosing young people left and right, this game felt "too" exciting, felt similar to watching WWE. I will never ever watch the Superbowl again. It is rigged. I saw players wide open for catches and throws to the opposition on purpose. I am officially disgusted. The 49ers were the better team and should have won. I'm done. Everyone knows the NFL is rigged!
NOTES AND COMMENTS:
(1)>>COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT! NOW if the 49ers win I’ll take back what I said. But Kelce is for Phyzer and Mahomes is for State Farm, they both sponsored the Super Bowl. You’d have to be a fool to not think it’s rigged. Go back and look at the 49ers faces during the game. They already knew they wasn’t gonna win. They looked so sad, and honestly it is sad. Finally make it to the nfl and find out it’s just some bullshit.The score was 22/25 which equals 47 and when you add 4+7 you get 11. When you subtract it, you get 3. Idc what ya say, the NFL is considered “entertainment” which means they won’t be held accountable for rigging or gambling on a game (which is illegal, or was). (1.2)>>*SUPER BOWEL is scripted and rigged . NFL wanted KC to win. did you see all the celebrities getting their publicity? The second Moody's PA was blocked I knew it was over. The guy hasn't missed a PA all season and suddenly he kicks it 6 feet off the ground. NFL is nothing more than pro wrestling anymore. I'm done watching. even if it wasn't rigged, the game has become a boring waste of time to watch. I'm all Hockey now...until they rig that sport too. Did you notice how the cameras panned to Taylor Swift before the final touchdown to win the game? Predictive programming and fixed. Formula One also made Lewis Hamilton the most successful driver for inclusion and diversity. They wanted him to beat Michael Schumacher's record championships.Never ever throw a Super Bowl in Vegas again the script they wrote was god awful. 0-0 1st quarter, all the early penalties, longest field goal made in super bowl history, all the fumbles, big receivers choked, they kept us on edge with the back & forth 3pt game and it went to Overtime the silliest game of the year. That SCREWED the 49ers all through the game because they did this all in the name of Taylor Swift. In all of the celebrities that were in attendance at the Superbowl they mostly ignored them so they can keep showing Taylor Swift . There's a rumor that Taylor Swift is gonna be in every single daytime talk show this week and gonna have dinner with Biden along with Kelce in a televised dinner on Wednesday. (2)>>Taylor Swift . But, I believe another story. Is the NFL rigged; yes, it’s been rigged for some time now, and Roger Goodell admitted this a few years ago. He claim they did it for more money, better viewing. Now, as well all know, the viewership of the NFL has taken a huge hit over the past years. Even the Super Bowl has taken hits, especially over the halftime shows. Now, with all that in mind, let’s turn to Taylor Swift. I believe she has been used, because of her popularity, and it doesn’t matter if you like her or not, she is very popular. She did take a small hit with her decision to try the political world and I hope she learned her lesson from doing that. So, knowing the media has used other incidents with Taylor, knowing the NFL, why not use Taylor Swift and her relationship, only to get the viewership of the Super Bowl up. Now, did it really happen, we will truly never know the truth, but, according to the media, it worked. So, all of this is really, the media using Taylor Swift to help Roger Goodell and the NFL get viewership. Now, I do hope Taylor has learned to keep her mouth shut about the political world, we shall see, but you can bet, even if she does, the crooked democrats will use the last election actions, and we need to make sure they don’t rig the elections like they helped Roger rig the Super Bowl. (3)>>I BELIEVE that the some one was paid to win and the other team was paid to loose the game . REMEMBER , that the Super bowel is just a game played by "actors". The Days of REAL sports are far gone . Team players on both sides get a script , and they follow it . YET they get paid win or lose . Example :Every player who participates in the divisional playoffs in the 2023–2024 season made $46,500 — in addition to their already massive salaries.Per Bet MGM, the four teams that make the conference champions, which determine who will go to the Super Bowl, take home $69,000 per player, and that's whether they win or lose! Just playing in the Super Bowl will net each player a minimum of an $82,000 bonus. And that is if you lose the game!On the flip side, a player on the winning team walks away with a bonus of nearly twice that amount: $157,000.. Refs fix games to make money off betting, not to serve their overlords. If the NFL actually tried to do this it would get leaked immediately.Bad calls happen all around the league. The main thing we get screwed on is holding calls. That’s sort of just the micah parsons effect. He’s so fast and explosive that it makes it harder to catch those things. And he’s a young player who doesn’t know all the tricks lineman learn over the years. Over time he’ll learn how to “sell it” more and get those calls. It's no longer a real game out in the field. It's more like a movie , where as I said , are merely actors to create entertainment .The best way to rig it would be for the 49er's, is to have them to appear in multiple Super Bowls, but lose each one in stupefying fashion to the other team. This has happen before , where they played and lost .The teams that go to the Super Bowl are the only teams that get noticably great whistles. This is just how it is.
