This has people in tears today.

My favourite Zeppelin song, I played Ramble On a million times at 16. Considering leaving home.

So I did that.

But 50 years later, we find its about a final leave-taking. For those on stage. Those around us.

Ourselves.

I want everyone to remember that Stephen Miller said this.

[Stephen Miller @StephenM]

A domestic terrorist tried to assassinate federal law enforcement and this is your response? You and the state’s entire Democrat leadership team have been flaming the flames of insurrection for the singular purpose of stopping the deportation of illegals who invaded the country.

Nova Scotia is adding about 1000 MW of onshore wind power to the grid to help get off coal and reach 80% clean electricity by 2030––and bring jobs and investments into our communities.

Most of this clean energy is coming online this year. Take a look at a wind farm being built.

Jack White just earned a new degree of respect from me.

An exceptional response to Trump's little people!
The White House melts down and attacks music legend Jack White after he insults Donald Trump's "disgusting" and "vulgar" redecoration of the White House
“Jack White is a washed-up, has-been loser posting drivel on social media because he clearly has ample time on his hands due to his stalled career,” claimed White House spokesman Steven Cheung.
“It’s apparent [White]’s been masquerading as a real artist, because he fails to appreciate, and quite frankly disrespects, the splendor and significance of the Oval Office inside of ‘The People’s House,'” Cheung added.
this is Jack’s response…
"Listen, I’m an artist and not a politician so I’m in no need to give my answer or opinion on anything if I’m not inspired or compelled, but how funny that it wasn’t me calling out trump’s blatant fascist manipulation of government, his gestapo ICE tactics, his racist remarks about Latinos, Native Americans, etc. his ridiculous 'wall' construction, his attacks on the disabled, his attempted coup and mob insurrection and destruction of the sacred halls of congress, his disparaging sexist and pedophilic remarks about women, his obvious attempts at distraction about being a close personal friend of Jeffrey Epstein and his inclusion in the Epstein files, his ignorance of the dying children in Sudan, Gaza, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, his lack of empathy for military veterans and those struggling with poverty, his attempts to dismantle healthcare, his obvious wimpy and pathetic kowtowing to the dictators Putin and Kim Jong Un, his nazi like rallies, his attempts to sell merchandise and products like Goya beans through the office of the President, his fake 'gunshot to the ear' that he showed no medical records or photographs of, his constant, constant, constant lying to the American people, etc. etc. etc."
"No, it wasn’t me calling out any of that, it was the f*cking DECOR OF THE OVAL OFFICE remarks I made that got them to respond with insults," he continued. "How petty and pathetic and thin skinned could this administration get? 'Masquerading as a real artist'? Thank you for giving me my tombstone engraving! Well here’s my opinion, trump is masquerading as a human being."
"He’s masquerading as a christian, as a leader, as a person with actual empathy," he wrote. "He’s been masquerading as a businessman for decades as nothing he’s involved in has prospered except by using other people’s money to find loophole
after loophole and grift after grift."
"His staff of professional liar toadies like Steven Cheung and Karoline Leavitt have been covering up and masking his fascism as patriotism and fomenting hatred and division in this country on a daily basis," White went on. "And I have 'ample time on (my) hands'? That orange grifter has spent more tax payer money cheating at golf than helping ANYONE in the country. Improve. Anything. There is no progress with him, only smoke and mirrors and tax breaks for the ultra wealthy."
"So maga folk, enjoy your concrete paving over of the rose garden, your 200 million dollar ballroom in the White House, and your gaudy ass gold spray painted trinkets from Home Depot, cause he ain’t spending any money on helping YOU unless you fit into his white supremacist country club rich idiot agenda,"
"Wow, he hates who you hate....good for you, be proud of yourselves, how christian of you all,"
"The only way you can support this conman is because you are a victim of the 2 party system and you 'defend your guy no matter what he does.'" he wrote. "No intelligent person can defend this low life fascist. This bankruptor of casinos. This failed seller of trump steaks, trump vodka, trump water, etc."
"This man and his goon squad have failed upwards for decades and have fleeced the American people over and over," wrote White. "This professional golf cheat, this grifter who has hundreds of thousands of deaths from his inaction of the pandemic on his hands, this man that the majority of the country somehow were fooled into supporting and voting into office (through the flawed electoral college) and their love of reality
television stars."
"Being insulted by the actual White House that this particular conman leads is a badge of honor to me, because anyone who trump supports and likes is a villain who gives nothing to their fellow man, only takes what can benefit themselves,"
"And no I’m not a Democrat either, I’m a human being raised in Detroit, I’m an artist who’s owned his own businesses like his own upholstery shop and recording label since he was 21 years old who has enough street sense to know when a 3 card monte dealer is a cheap grifter and a thief,"
"I was raised to believe that we defeated fascism in World War II and that we would never allow it again in the world. I don't always state publicly my political opinions, and like anyone I don't always know all of the facts, but when it comes to this man and this administration I'm not going to be like one of the silent minority of 1930's Germany. This man is a danger to not just America but the entire world and that's not an exaggeration, he's dismantling democracy and endangering the planet on a daily basis, and we. all. know. it. -JW III...

The Silicon Valley Billionaires Who Have Designed Our World Have Planned Their Escape

Many have their survival bunkers, private jets, and New Zealand citizenships

Or in Zuck's case, Hawaii
Mark Zuckerberg's compound on Kauai covers 1,400 acres.

Underground tunnels connect the main structures. An 18-foot water tank with its own pump system. (Pictured below)

Five thousand square feet of underground space.

The doors aren't standard security.
They're metal filled with concrete, designed to resist blast waves.
Escape hatches accessible by ladder.
Self-sufficient energy systems.
Self-sufficient food production.
A 6-foot wall around everything.
Workers sign strict NDAs.
Those who mention it on social media are fired immediately.

Cost: $270 million.¹

Peter Thiel bought 477 acres in New Zealand.

Secured citizenship through an "exceptional circumstances" clause anyway.

Later called it "a backup plan in the event of a pandemic or global societal collapse."²

Reid Hoffman said it became code among Silicon Valley billionaires:

"Buying a house in New Zealand is kind of a wink, wink, say no more."³
Between 2015 and 2017, seven Silicon Valley entrepreneurs purchased underground bunkers and installed them in New Zealand. Average price: $3 million.

Luxury models with shooting ranges and theaters: $8 million.⁴

Sam Altman was more direct. In 2016, he disclosed his stockpile:
"Guns, gold, potassium iodide, antibiotics, batteries, water, gas masks from the Israeli Defense Force, and a big patch of land in Big Sur I can fly to."⁵

The potassium iodide is for radiation. The gas masks are military-grade.
The threats: lethal synthetic virus, AI attacking humans, nuclear war.

Ilya Sutskever, former OpenAI chief scientist, proposed building a bunker for OpenAI scientists before AGI release.

Quote from internal meeting: "We're definitely going to build a bunker before we release AGI."⁶

Bryan Johnson sold Braintree for $800 million.
Now spends $2 million annually on anti-aging.
In 2023, he extracted one liter of blood from his 17-year-old son and infused the plasma into his own veins.

The vampire metaphor became medical procedure.
Performed on family. At extraordinary cost.

Hoffman estimated more than half of Silicon Valley billionaires had purchased "apocalypse insurance."⁸

They built Facebook.
They built PayPal.
They built LinkedIn.
They built OpenAI.

They built the systems that shape how billions of humans communicate, work, and think.

They understand technology's trajectory better than almost anyone alive.
And metaphorically speaking, they're digging their own graves

Follow up to our reporting last week that GOP lawmakers have been warned via DOJ/FBI contacts the Epstein files contain worse materials for Trump than publicly alleged… Rep Pete Session (R-TX) said on CNN there are 1000’s of hours of bedroom tapes.

Elon Musk is a fucking moron.

He thinks the Nazis were left wing.

Just pause on that for a minute.

Actually… he doesn’t think that. He’s just an old style South African race hater.
