[Glenn Beck @glennbeck]

This hit me hard. South African asylum seeker @Jason2bartlett told me what he loves most about America after fleeing horrific violence against white citizens:

“I bought my first house ever, and I don't have a ten-foot fence around it. I mean, I understand that there's crime, but those places have got a big blue mark on it, like a big Democratic city… But in Alabama over here, everybody carries, so everybody is safe. If you go to the general store, nothing has got fences around it or bulletproof fencing around it. My wife goes for a walk. You see women walking around. You don't see that in South Africa. You see children playing out in the front yards. That's not possible in South Africa anymore, especially if you look like me... It's unfathomable how fun and awesome it is just to feel safe.”

Deranged lefts are literally VANDALIZING the pool just to “get Trump”

INSANE to think this is where we are as a country.

This is:

A footage that contains an electronic bookmark that is still archived in the Capitol’s computer system. That means Liz Cheney and the Jan. 6 Committee viewed this tape—she saw it, they saw it—yet they refused to release it.

Why? Because this tape would have shattered the single greatest fraud they were perpetrating on the country.

I’m sick to my freaking stomach reading Tulsi Gabbard’s declassified bombshells. They laid out the entire treasonous plot: weaponizing the Zelensky phone call to impeach Trump, with Rudy Giuliani squarely in their crosshairs next.

This wasn’t politics—it was a straight-up coup by corrupt deep state actors to overthrow the will of the American people.

These people belong in prison for this shit. Deeply disturbing and downright terrifying.

[John Ʌ Konrad V @johnkonrad]

When I was a kid, the Bronx was burning. My dad was a fireman who happened to be an Ivy League graduate.

He told me it wasn’t the crackheads torching the city, whatever the news said. It was fraud.

Let me explain how it worked…. John Doe buys a rundown apartment building for $100k. He pockets the redevelopment tax break, then sells it to Joe Doe for $250k. Joe pockets the tax break, then sells it to Jerry Doe for $500k. Rinse and repeat until the building is worth $5 million.

The tax breaks are real. The money is not.

Because the buyers are all family, the cash flows out of Swiss bank account 27852 and right back into 27852 after every sale. There’s a transaction cost, sure, but the tax breaks more than cover it.

Then comes the payoff: they insure the building for $5 million and burn it down.

The name for this was “Jewish Lightning.” The phrase stuck around not because the landlords were all Jewish, but because the stereotype hit a nerve in a city run by Jewish mayors from 1974 to 1989, the peak of the burning. Fair or not, the term stuck.

So why was none of this investigated? NGO funding, of course.

The NYPD union was powerful, and NYC detectives had sweeping investigative authority over almost everything. Except arson. Arson belonged to FDNY detectives. NGOs, routing money through union donations, stoked the rivalry between cops and firemen.

Long story short, arson investigators got no funding and zero cooperation from the NYPD.

No money for investigations means no arrests.

Eventually the Bronx ran out of buildings to burn, and Giuliani drove the final nail into arson fraud’s coffin.

But the lesson survived, and it’s the foundation of today’s fraud. The lesson was this: the actual value of the asset doesn’t matter.

👉What matters is the movement of money.

Destruction is still very profitable. When the Baltimore bridge collapsed, the cleanup and rebuild were estimated at $1.7 billion, with the bridge reopening in 2028. The cost has since ballooned to $5.2 billion, and the wreckage still isn’t fully cleared.

Money pours into demolition,, engineering, environmental review, project management, waste removal.

But if the work doesn’t actually get done, the real expenses stay low. The money moves; the bridge doesn’t.

And here’s the leap: you don’t have to destroy anything at all. You just have to not build it.

Democrats allocate money to a government body, which hands it to a project manager, who hires consultants, who hire subcontractors, who hire more subcontractors, who funnel it back to Democrats, who allocate more money.

The fewer the actual costs (labor, materials, equipment) the more of the flow you can capture.

And if a taxpayer complains, you hire a PR firm and a few consultants to explain why costs keep exploding while nothing gets built. The easiest thing to blame is red tape.

So why does red tape exist?

Because destroying valuable property, while profitable, is too obviously unethical.

Burning buildings gets you arrested, eventually. Not building gets you a ribbon-cutting and a press release.

Here’s the deeper trap. Because our most valuable assets are fixed (houses, cars, index funds) we think of money as static. You have what you have. It grows over time, but it doesn’t flow.

That’s exactly where the fraud lives: in the flow.

The light bulb moment was realizing you don’t need to destroy physical property. You only need to destroy productivity.

If labor and materials are never purchased while money pours in, the fraud works.

You don’t have to build or destroy anything of value, just productivity. You just announce a project and start writing checks while throwing up enough red tape to block any real spending on labor and materials.

This is basically why Congress handed @PeteButtigieg $1.2 trillion and our roads and bridges still suck five years later. They put up signs, traffic cones, and red tape, and little else.

But there are a few residual problems. 1/2

[John Ʌ Konrad V @johnkonrad]

The first problem is that some builders actually want to build great things, not defraud the public.
I’m convinced this is why Trump ran for president. He knew the scam. He hated the scam because it created red tape.

And if you’re running the scam, you have to discredit, sue, and even arrest the builders who want to build, especially the ones who hate the regulations that make the fraud possible. That’s why Trump became the focus of the hate, and why developers like Witkoff, Kushner, and Wynn became Trump supporters.

A bigger problem is labor.

It’s not just taxpayers who lose. Low labor spending means workers lose their jobs. Won’t they complain?
Nope. This is why Democrats pour so much money into unions. The union bosses get fat checks and lots of perks, and perks are easy to hide as expenses.

But they can’t completely screw over the rank and file, so they hire PR firms and consultants too, to rationalize the decline to their own base. And the base isn’t too worried, because most have second jobs and collect standby fees to do nothing.

The few guys who do show up are paid a lot extra per hour based on esoteric union rules.

Of course there’s little room for new members but the media has pushed the “you must go to college” narrative so hard most don’t want their kids joining the union anyway.

Next is suppliers who complain about having to close factories because material doesn’t get shipped.

Let the unions take care of the labor in the same way and outsource all but token manufacturing to a subcontractor in China. Building nothing is profitable for manufacturing executives too.

Some need extra incentive and that’s the job of McKinsey to help them figure out how to supercharge executive pay while doing nothing.

The next problem is legality.

This isn’t much of a problem if you write the laws to protect yourself and control the funding of investigations.

You really think “defund the police” was about racism? You really think the entire FBI pivoting to January 6th was about Trump? No. Those were distractions from the biggest fraud of all time: the infrastructure act and the “Inflation Reduction Act.”

But even with all that, one massive problem remains. Taxes.

Al Capone didn’t go to Alcatraz for murder or racketeering. He went for tax evasion.

Again: the fraud hides in the flow of money. In transactions. Most of your taxes aren’t on fixed assets. You pay them when you transfer something: property, stocks, cash, your labor. The system is built that way in part to discourage transactions. So you need entities that don’t pay taxes to wash the money. Enter the non-profit NGO.

Money can flow within an NGO, as we saw with the SPLC scandal, tax free. Better still, they can organize events, marches, and friendly MSM coverage to “support” Democratic politicians.

Construction managers get the usual tax deductions and dodge capital gains. But they can also donate appreciated stock to a foundation or donor-advised fund, take a large deduction, skip the capital gains bill, and direct how the money gets spent for years. The money can’t legally buy personal vacations or yachts, but family members can sit on the boards, hire the staff, fund the favored causes, sponsor the research, and shape the public debate. The tax savings are real. So is the influence.

And why own a yacht anyway when the NGO has lists of corrupt people who own yachts you can use?

And remember how NYPD detectives weren’t allowed to investigate arson, because that was FDNY’s job? The FBI and other agencies are discouraged by lawmakers, executives, and their own unions from investigating non-profits, because “they’re a public good.”

And if someone really presses for an investigation, friendly detectives can be hand-picked for a “special task force” that does nothing at all.

It’s the same bones as the “Jewish Lightning” scam. Except now it isn’t tenements in the Bronx that are burning. It’s the entire nation.

[Selene Mariposa @Selene_Mariposa]

The World Cup has turned America into a discovery channel for the rest of the world.

And they are not handling it well.
In the best possible way.

Here is what they are discovering:

Free public restrooms. Europeans pay every time.
Free water at every restaurant. Just appears.
Free refills. Coffee. Sodas. Iced tea. Unlimited.
Free chips and salsa before you even order.
Free warm bread with dinner.
Ice in drinks like civilized people.
Air conditioning everywhere. Not a moral debate. A fact.
Parking lots attached to the actual place you are going.
Drive throughs where the food comes to the car while you sit in it.
Ranch dressing by the gallon.
Tex-Mex that cannot be explained only experienced.
Dental care that actually works.
Buccee’s. There are no words for Buccee’s.

Then they found the grocery stores.

Five of them within one mile.
Each one the size of an aircraft hangar.
Burgers. Steaks. Brisket. Ribs. Pulled pork. Lamb. Veal. Every cut of every animal ever domesticated by human civilization available in one refrigerated aisle at ten in the morning on a Tuesday.

The Germans stood in the meat section for forty five minutes.
In silence.
Processing.

They finally understand why we do not have trains.

We have roads wide enough for the cars we actually drive.
Parking lots the size of small European countries.
Airports in every city worth visiting.

Why would we need trains.

The Germans are taking ranch home by the bottle.
The Dutch found queso and briefly lost the ability to speak.
The Japanese are photographing HEB like it is the Louvre.
The Czechs are weeping in West, Texas.

Welcome to America.
Everything is free, enormous, air conditioned, comes with chips, and has five grocery stores within a mile that will sell you any cut of any animal you have ever imagined.

Write that down. 🦋

🚨 WOW! Major Capers just went maximum selfless patriot mode after President Trump gave him the Medal of Honor

"I can't say I'm happy to be here because this award belongs to a lot of young men who followed me and died in battlefields around this world for a country that we honor this flag."

"There's no real satisfaction in getting a medal when I've lost so much."

"We're one unit. When one falls, somebody else has to replace that one, that person who fell."

"I feel honored to have the support that I find today. I'm honored. And I give gratitude to the ones who made this happen."

"When your men are in peril and you have an opportunity to save your men, I chose to get off the helicopter to lighten the load."

Living legend.

Because British people are asking me to.

They are right.

I have no British employer to fire me.

I am just someone watching from outside.

And from outside,
the view is very clear.

So yes.
A Japanese account in Tokyo will keep posting.
Until he can say it himself again.
