Reminds me the Swiss joke:
A German walks into a Swiss bank, leans over the counter, and whispers nervously: “I want to withdraw 10’000 euros." The Swiss banker looks at him and replies in a normal, booming voice:
"You can speak up, sir, poverty is no shame in Switzerland
“I'm haunted by the thought that I'll never be able to buy you a home, Padmé”
“But you're a Jedi. Surely you can afford one?”
“The boomers bought every house before I was born. Inflation has consumed what little I earn. And now AI threatens to make my entire career obsolete”
“You're literally the Chosen One”
“Not in this economy”
“You killed the 70 IQ sand people that raped and killed your mom but you were angry when you did it. That’s the difference between you and me. When I wage war on an entire galaxy on behalf of a corrupt senate to help planets dodge their trade obligations all while completely failing to sense the one Sith Lord right under my nose, I do it with rainbow flags and diversity.”
"Yeah we're sorry we didn't free your mother from slavery even though it would literally cost us like the price of a Coruscant taxi cab ride... couldn't be bothered. I've got robes to sit around in. And slavery to ignore. I'm the good guy. You're bad if you don't like it."
So I just received a phone call on my private number from "journalist" @jordangreennc of rawstory dot com.
He wanted to talk to me about @DataRepublican's "Democracy Files" and the ongoing Color Revolution revealed in those same files.
I did what I normally do when a "journalist" cold calls me and I reminded him that his chosen profession is a malodorous blight of infamous lies and misinformation, I recommended that he listen to the tapes and report fairly, and then I hung up.
However, I know he has also been contacting others via email, and I have seen the loaded questions he is asking to further the conclusion he reached before he ever started on his story. Those "questions" rotate around four assumptions that he has obviously already determined to be true:
1. Donald Trump is an illegitimate tyrant bent on destroying "our democracy."
2. The Color Revolution plotters are simply patriots trying to preserve "our democracy."
3. Everyone uncovering the plot is a liar trying to mislead the public into believing that this highly benevolent group of patriotic Americans is instead really mounting a coup, and we are irresponsible for creating such misinformation.
4. The people uncovering the coup plot are actually the ones trying to ignite a violent civil war.
Folks, please remember that the "Narrative" component of a textbook color revolution depends on a compliant media that actively seeks to undermine and destroy the "legitimacy" of the serving government in the days and weeks before the Color Revolutionaries get to the trigger event for their coup.
The article this man is writing is a part of that Narrative component. I'm not accusing him of being in bed directly with the plotters, but I do know that fellow travelers in the Democrat/Media Complex usually need no prompting to spread disinformation and lies when it comes to Donald Trump.
The Color Revolution attempt unfolds before our very eyes.
So Lula cheats in Brazil and threatens all who support his rival.
Then Tusk conducts a coup in Poland against the populist-leaning President there.
The rest of Europe is staging non-organic revolts to justify crackdowns, thus slamming a lid on any potential popular populism in those states.
All while these color revolution plotters are hatching plans here just prior to our elections.
Trump's populist war on globalism threatens establishment control and we are witnessing the globalist reaction world-wide.
The two times this was not true in European history were Ancient Geece and Rome, and the period from the Renaissance to about WW1. Incidentally this is when basically all of Europe's cultural, scientific, etc. output happened.
This only scratches the surface. Medicaid and Medicare fraud it the tip of the iceberg. Just one example: There is multi-generational fraud in a number of ethnic communities. I was a fraud examiner after my military career and my partner, a nurse turned lawyer, and I found over 800 Medicaid fraud cases in less than 2 years (in 2013/14). Our threshold per case filing was $500K and we had dozens of cases over $5M in the aggregate. Guess how many of the cases the affected states took action on: 2.
And Medicare was just as bad, but no Federal District Attorney under Obama would take a fraud case, especially if it was an immigrant or indigenous American Indian. I finally quit after banging my head against the government brick wall for 10 years.
One of my last cases was identifying false "Blue Zones", which is a Demographic term (often co-opted by epidemiologists for what is typically called "supercentenarian clusters") for pockets of populations with a larger number than average folks that were 100 year old or older. We found areas in California, Texas, Colorado and Arizona where certain ethnic groups had sizable Blue Zones that were 6-25X higher than any ever recorded on the planet.
It took only one case to break the code: an ethnic Chinese woman in NorCal was suing a hospital for giving her the wrong blood type during emergency surgery. We reviewed the records and after a single interview, we determined that she had assumed the ID (and medical history) of another Chinese immigrant who had passed away about 6 years previous. The original patient died at age 94, ostensibly making the fraudster 100 or 101. It was later determined that she was 58 or 59 years old. In addition to assuming the late patient's ID, she also assumed her Social Security payments as well as other benefits provided by the government, including food and housing. She paid 30% to a "community trust" which handled the fraud. She was offering to turn in others to avoid a lengthy jail term, but the State of California inexplicably dropped all the charges. Oh yeah, the patient that was suing wasn't the first generation of this fraud, she was the second. The original patient was believed to have passed away in 1989.
Find any community that handles it's own deaths and burials and you will find the same thing. It happens on Indian reservations, in Chinese, East Asian and African communities. Normal at-home deaths are not reported to the state and the "community trusts" handle all burial and cremains repatriation. Another member of the community, usually illegal, but not always, assumes that person's ID and benefits; in many states, they will be admitted to an ethnically affiliated hospice care facility (on paper anyway) and that facility will get funds to care for a patient that only exists on paper. Rinse and repeat. We found one case in southern Arizona where one Native American man was carrying the IDs of six other men and collecting SS, VA, and various retirement pensions for all six of them. His was enrolled at 2 different hospices on Indian reservations 370 miles apart. His monthly payments were in excess of $36K and he got to keep half of that. We notified the State of Arizona and the local Congressional and Senate offices with no results and no action taken.
And I have much worse examples. DOGE needs to be enshrined as a Cabinet-level position and we need biometric validation of everyone collecting federal or state benefits, as a start.

🚨 0.77€ de taxe pour regarder un film Netflix !
Ce vendredi, les députés viennent d'adopter un amendement socialiste visant à taxer les données qui circulent sur Internet à hauteur de 5,5 centimes par gigaoctet reçu en France.
Ils ont complètement pété les plombs.
Voici quelques exemples de ce que ça va désormais vous coûter :
🔴 Vous regardez un film Netflix de 2 heures en 4K ? Jusqu'à 0,77 € de taxe brute sur les données transmises.
🔴 Vous téléchargez un jeu vidéo de 150 Go ? 8,25 €.
🔴 Vous récupérez 200 Go de photos personnelles stockées chez Google ? 11 €.
🔴 Vous rapatriez 1 To de vos propres fichiers depuis Google Drive ? 55 €.
🔴 Vous restaurez 2 To de sauvegardes après une panne informatique ? 110 €.
Ces taxes seront facturées aux plateformes américaines, qui vous vous en doutez bien, vous redescendront la facture !
Ils sont en train de construire une fiscalité qui pénalise le simple fait de transmettre de la donnée.
Et ceci alors que nous sommes à l'aube d'une révolution technologique majeure avec l'IA !
Pour rester compétitifs, tous les pays doivent accélérer leur transformation numérique.
Et nous en France, que trouve-t-on comme idée de génie ?
UNE PUTAIN DE TAXE SUR LA DATA !
Et en plus ils ont le culot de nous la présenter comme une mesure écologique qui encouragerait à réduire les volumes de données échangées.
Quelle bande de guignols.
Il faut être totalement déconnecté des réalités économiques pour considérer qu'un pays peut retrouver sa prospérité en multipliant indéfiniment les prélèvements sur les activités productives.
Cet amendement n'est pas encore une loi définitive, mais le simple fait qu'une telle proposition ait été adoptée à l'Assemblée nationale en dit long sur la manière dont nous sommes gouvernés.
Ces fous du bus vont vraiment nous mettre au fond du ravin.
