History will show that Musk buying Twitter, and what he did afterwards, became the quintessential example of the same problem.

Anyway, I recommend the latest Joe Rogan podcast where he interviews Mike Benz. Mike explains why the J6 narrative became what it was. They tried to make it look like what we did in Ukraine in 2014 using the ABC news producer and choreographed testimony. Funny how the J6 committee records were destroyed. Probably an accident, right.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrJhQpvlkLA
I finished listening to it this morning. My head is spinning. Rogan said he will need to listen to it 3 or 4 times, I will need 6 or 7. It is not only alarming but down right scary, that organized social media/internet censorship within every countries election can dictate outcomes, and we as a government are so vested in it, having a desk for each country in most every department. And how 2020 was a successful beta for it working here, and in my opinion, how Musk buying Twitter stopped it from happening again.

The argument and challenge is that if we stop doing it, rouge powers will not, and in turn they will own narratives in other countries elections, direct the outcomes, and dictate the desired assets.

Again my head is spinning trying to compartmentalize all he is asserting, mind you without any notes. Benz is the definition of a photographic memory!
Take a look at operation mocking bird by the CIA. It put media assets everywhere, including in the US, to manipulate in favor of our Wall Street companies and defense contractors. It's been going on in Europe, S. America, and wherever else the CIA can benefit our big corporations, in the name of fighting communism or terrorism today. Now it's come home with the amendments to the Smith-Mundt Act.

Too bad we never had a sovereign wealth fund so that the ordinary tax payer could benefit from the largess and piracy Wall Street did over the years. One thing that I want to point out is that it is both parties that take part in this. As Benz alluded to - Ukraine is the Democrats playground while Georgia is the Republican playground. I hope Trump doesn't fall for the international nonsense and merely shift things to Georgia.

Anyway, I'm going to take a deep dive into the Atlantic Council and the mischief they are doing on behalf of censorship, blaming half country and calling them terrorists. Maybe those here who are Atlantic Council adherents can enlighten us? Seems like some here are following their playbook?

We need vigilant people like you to watch, inform and bitch about Trump/Musk. I'm sure Musk wants something, obviously, and we all should pay attention to what these people are doing. The mega rich always use governments to screw over the rest of us. What do you think of having a sovereign wealth fund for everyone here in the US like they have in other countries? How about charging silicon valley and pharma for the government research all of us pay for?

lol. Happy to help. Convicted fraudsters and sexual abusers should get occasional pushback, you know. : D

These are very good questions best served by being given their own fresh threads.

Thanks, I will check it out. Honestly my head is still spinning at all the information Benz was throwing out. I listened to it while commuting, I need to watch it on YouTube so I can see the slides.

Trump needs to go slow and smart and eat the elephant one bite ate a time.

I'd call that a fact, not just an opinion.
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

Judging from long experience reading your posts, I have very little confidence in what you regard as facts. You unquestioningly accept nearly every lie from Trump's mouth as fact, and you still seem to reject out of hand the hard and increasingly abundant evidence of the reality of potentially dangerous consequences of climate change that nearly 99% of the world's climate scientists agree is real. The few (and highest paid) climate scientists who argue against that are paid shills of the fossil fuels industry, who for obvious reasons promote continuing dependence on fossil fuels, while getting many millions of dollars in government subsidies despite being among the most prosperous industries in history.
No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

So, how would you respond to this temperature map that seems to show how temperatures were way hotter pre-humans and how the temperature fluctuates an incredible amount over time?

Sure, the end of the above map shows an increase recently but the same thing happened from 350 million years ago to 250 millions years ago. Couldn't it be said that we are in a natural fluctuation?

This chart shows there isn't much of a correlation between temperature and CO2 concentration:

This story shows how climate proponents have cried wolf too many times:

Perhaps its time to stop with the alarmism? I'm for having a clean environment, clean water, less pollution, but perhaps the sky isn't falling:
