I visited the Eagle’s Nest a few years ago, along with the nearby Berghof site and its extensive underground tunnel network. Hitler spent roughly a third of his time in power at the Berghof, which is nearby but separate from the Eagle’s Nest itself. It may be a dark chapter of history, but it is history nonetheless, and it is certainly not for some arsonist to decide to deprive everyone else of it.

What struck me most about the Eagle’s Nest was the incredibly elaborate elevator built straight into the mountain. It is an absolute marvel of engineering, but what I kept thinking about while standing there was the sheer vanity and sycophancy behind it all. Imagine pouring that much money, manpower, and engineering ingenuity into an extravagantly elaborate mountaintop retreat, just to please Hitler on the occasion of his 50th birthday.

@HansMahncke The tunnel, the brass elevator and the views over the alps from the top, you cannot describe that experience in words alone. I was last there in 1982.

@MollyJongFast Eric Holder did so, and Merrick Garland, too.

I don’t recall you being angry with those AG’s.

An ABC News whistleblower has gone on record under penalty of perjury, claiming Kamala Harris's team got the questions early and directed the Trump/Harris debate.

If it weren't for election fraud, the Democrat Party would cease to exist.

The Hill is out with my column on a campaign to enlist citizens in jury nullification. From nullifying juries to packing the Court, it constitutes a hostile takeover of our legal system. If successful, justice will become merely an extension of politics. https://t.co/1WKjLaz6VA

So it turns out that Ukraine's issues with Starlink were caused by Ukraine.

Starlink terminals disconnected at speeds above 160 KPH, as determined by the Starlink terminals internal GPS.

To get around this, Ukraine hacked the Starlink terminals to think they were stationary regardless of speed.

SpaceX figured this out, and updated the system software to detect excessive speed by seeing how rapidly the terminal switched from on satellite to another. This broke Ukraine's hack, and Starlink would no longer work at high speeds.

Ukraine was using Starlink in a way that violated the terms of service.

Starlink figured it out and stopped it.

I live in Maine, USA.

My church has armed security and has installed pole barriers to prevent vehicles from driving into our doors.

Think about that. Be ready because as long as Muslims exist in America every Christian is under threat.

INSTA-MESSAGES ARE FOREVER: SHADOW GOVERNMENT PROSECUTION

Much of the case surrounding ex-FBI senior officials Floris and Benavides for allegedly lying to Congress about their knowledge of and involvement in the Hunter Biden probe is document driven.

Take this October 2020 email about talking points for then FBI Director Wray about the Hunter Biden laptop.

The draft talking points begin: “The most I (Wray) can say is that the FBI is in possession of an item that we lawfully seized.”

BENAVIDES responded “This is good…you could add another if asked:

Is the information we’re seeing in the press about a laptop containing emails associated with Hunter Biden part of a Russia disinformation effort? (Reference New York Post)

I can see from the perspective of anyone consuming this story that they could be concerned this is a Russia disinformation effort similar to what the FBI, ODNI, and other agencies have warned against; however, the FBI has not made that determination in this specific instance and as I stated before, I won’t comment on investigations or investigative actions.”

BENAVIDES then wrote “Nikki, thoughts???”

FLORIS responded “Looks good!”

These FBI talking points promoted a false narrative that the Hunter Biden laptop was a Russian plant before the 2020 election, a kind of October surprise. 

Based on my investigative reporting, the FBI determined MONTHS before the 2020 election the laptop was authentic and the property of Hunter Biden.

If Crystal Palace win, and Bournemouth beat us, we’re looking at being in a precarious situation. That becomes infinitely worse if Sunderland also win 😐

Regardless of the history of this building, I will never forget the unique entrance, a long tunnel under a mountain, and a brass elevator that took you to the very top, where you were greeted with spectacular views overlooking the Alps.

It’s such a shame that someone should burn it down for political reason.

RFK Jr. says a CIA funded experiment showed how far some Americans would go when ordered by authority figures to hurt another person.

But he says the most important lesson came from those who stood up and refused to obey.

“During the 1950s and 1960s, the CIA had a program called MKUltra, and they were looking for ways to manipulate individuals and populations to make them compliant and obedient.”

“And one of the experiments they funded was an experiment at Yale, and it’s called the Milgram Experiment.”

“They got a Yale professor named Stanley Milgram and he would bring subjects in from every walk of American life… He would put them at a table, and he would say, ‘When you turn this dial, there's a guy in the next room who's strapped to a chair, and he's going to get an electric shock.’”

“The guy who was running the experiment came out in a white lab coat with all of these vestures of authority on him and he would say, ‘Turn it up.’”

“They would turn it up, and they’d hear the person screaming and crying and begging.”

“A lot of times they began crying because they didn’t want to do it. They didn’t wanna hurt the person in the next room.”

“But nevertheless, when they were ordered to by this supposed doctor, they did it anyway.”

“67% of the people turned it all the way up to where it was marked potentially lethal.”

“The good news is that 33% got up and walked out.”

“These were the people who said, ‘We’re not going to obey undeserving authorities when they order us to do something that we know is against our values.’”

The buried lede:

“FBI headquarters, with Floris and Benavides involved, got Albany to recall a single-source report alleging China was making fake driver's licenses for fraudulent mail-in ballots. “

This was a huge story, two FBI agents, one of whom said the FBI was running a shadow government against President Donald J. Trump, and yet @jaketapper led his news with the story of a political ad in Ohio.

This is why America has the least politically aware citizens on the planet: unless they are political news junkies, which most are not, they rely on people like Jake to give them the news, and that doesn't happen.

What happens instead is that 'journalists' like Jake coordinate with the Democratic Party to decide what the public should know, and that's what they report.

This morning, two former senior FBI officials, Nikki Floris, 46, and Bradley Benavides, 56, surrendered on arrest warrants after being charged with lying to Congress about their roles on the Foreign Influence Task Force during the 2020 election.  Floris and Benavides allegedly lied to Congress about their roles in the FBI’s Hunter Biden investigations, with one claiming they only learned about it from Wikipedia - despite evidence showing their involvement in helping shape the public narrative about Hunter Biden’s laptop right before the election.

Lying to Congress by anyone strikes at the heart of our democratic system, but when senior FBI agents lie to Congress believing they are above the law, it’s time to bring the hammer of justice down on them. When senior officials entrusted with safeguarding our nation’s security choose deception over duty, they undermine the very institutions they swore to uphold.

Today’s action makes clear that no one is above the law, and we will hold accountable all who obstruct the truth.
