Hopefully they will succeed at their task The idea a person could be free and go about their business is repugnant to any tyrant, Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.

BrBrBr: Corrupt Brazil Swats at Greenwald
by grarpamp 13 Nov '19

13 Nov '19

https://reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/c1glfa/after_exposing_corrupted_bra… https://www.commondreams.org/news/2019/06/14/after-exposing-corrupted-brazi… Greenwald and his colleagues published leaked chats from government officials that appear to show justice minister Sérgio Moro was involved in a plot to keep former Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, known as Lula, from entering the country's 2018 presidential race. The reporting has already caused controversy in Brazil and forced Moro to answer difficult questions from the public. In addition to physical harm, Greenwald, who is American but lived in Brazil for many years, says powerful members of the Brazilian government are also threatening to have him deported because of his journalism. Greenwald's husband, David Miranda, is a member of the Socialism and Liberty Party, and was elected to Brazil's National Congress last year. https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1139275872840667138 https://twitter.com/carlosjordy/status/1139249465062301699 A Congressman from Bolsonaro's party explicitly threatening me with arrest and/or deportation for reporting on the massive improprieties of Bolsonaro's Justice Minister and the prosecutors who imprisoned Lula. This is their prevailing mentality, laid out explicitly: Assisti agora a um vídeo do Glenn Greenwald debochando do PSL dizendo que o partido amarelou de convidá-lo na Comissão de Segurança. Vamos à verdade: 1 - Eu não estava lá, mas jamais teria deixado q fizessem convite. O convidado não é obrigado a responder perguntas, responde o que quer. Aquilo se tornaria um palco para a esquerda blindá-lo e ele falaria o que quisesse de forma distorcida. 2 - O ideal seria uma convocação, mas que, no caso dele, só seria possível numa CPI, o que eu e @filipebarrost já estamos providenciando coletando assinaturas. 3 - Independente do seu comparecimento ao Congresso, seu caso já está sendo investigado na justiça. Senhor @ggreenwald, não pense que você é um imortal acima do bem e do mal. Você praticou ativismo jornalístico através de um ato criminoso, o que lhe faz cúmplice. 4 - Respeite o País que o recebeu, você não pode afrontar nossas instituições e autoridades, cometendo crimes contra a segurança nacional e não imaginar que pode ser punido criminalmente e DEPORTADO. 5 - Se instaurarmos a CPI, não vale amarelar e recorrer ao STF impetrando HC para não comparecer.

you can safely bet the 1933 USD fix did not apply to Rothschild - Executive Order 6102 "no personal gold ownership" - [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 13 Nov '19

13 Nov '19

A little history for the uninitiated: https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-09-29/how-executive-order-6102-doomed-a… Here's the thing, the uber-elite, such as Rockefellers, Rothschilds etc, have been hoarding (using that term loosely - the Fed's reserves are in serious question, as was the tonnes under the WTC towers, each of which apparently "disappeared", more facts required) gold using fiats. The fiat system has been designed to cyclically collapse (you thought the Federal Reserve was constitutional/lawful?), and those fiats are used for more generalised systematized hoarding, such that when the collapse happens, and the mathematical reset trigger is pulled, those holding the gold are the same old Goldbergs, Silversteins, Rothschilds and the rest. So a reset is not useful in and of itself. What is required is a systemic change. There are simple solutions, but they do require a general consciousness - the unwashed sheeple need to become a little more washed/ aware. Good luck,

The Jewish/Israeli Question - USS Liberty - "anti semitic facts" - [PEACE] [MINISTRY]
by Zenaan Harkness 08 Nov '19

>From the "Those whom you may not criticize coming under more and more criticism and scrutiny and doing everything in their power to censor the world as a result" department... Create your world, 'I Will Never Leave a Fallen Comrade' Except if He Was on the USS Liberty https://russia-insider.com/en/i-will-never-leave-fallen-comrade-except-if-h… Ray McGovern … On the 47th anniversary of that unprovoked attack let’s be clear about what happened: Israeli messages intercepted on June 8, 1967, leave no doubt that sinking the USS Liberty was the mission assigned to the attacking Israeli warplanes and torpedo boats as the Six-Day War raged in the Middle East. Let me repeat: there is no doubt – none – that the mission of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) was to destroy the USS Liberty and kill its entire crew. … How I Came to See That Many 'Anti-Semitic Canards' Are Actually True https://russia-insider.com/en/how-i-came-see-many-anti-semitic-canards-are-… "Asbestos Ron" Unz … "The notorious Jewish tendency to shamelessly lie or wildly exaggerate has sometimes had horrifying human consequences." "If the most extreme “anti-Semitic canards” were probably true, then surely the whole notion of anti-Semitism warrants a careful re-examination." … A Few Simple Arguments Which Cast Serious Doubt on the 'Holocaust' https://russia-insider.com/en/few-simple-arguments-which-cast-serious-doubt… MICHAEL WALSH Sit the students down and explain slowly: “According to the World Jewish Encyclopaedia there resided 2.4 million Jews in German-Occupied Europe. After the war, 3.8 million Jewish ‘holocaust survivors’ were receiving pensions from the German government. Tragically, the remaining six million were lost.” … Okay, let’s start again: “Doctor Charles P. Larson, one of America’s leading forensic pathologists, in 1945 was assigned to the US Army’s Judge Advocate General’s department. As part of a US war crimes, investigation team Dr. Larson performed autopsies at Dachau and some twenty other camps examining more than 100 corpses on some days. Dr. Larson confirmed that none of the autopsies he performed showed any evidence of death by poison gas. But, his conclusion was that death had occurred by typhus and starvation (as a consequence of USAAF and RAF saturation bombing).” … The Fags, Jews, and God-Haters in League With Jordan Peterson https://russia-insider.com/en/fags-jews-and-god-haters-league-jordan-peters… Brother Nathanael IF THE NEW YORK TIMES is promoting it as an alliance of intellectuals foiling the mainstream conversation then you know the conversation is Jew approved. The “alliance”—known as the Intellectual Dark Web—is Jew heavy, peppered with sodomites, with not one member openly anti-Jewish or anti-Israel. Others are white atheist liberals with a couple of Middle Easterners thrown in for diversity’s sake, one of whom is a Lebanese Jew. …

Fwiw, for those who aren't aware... The point of trolls like this one, 'xorcist', and cyberpiggie et all is to stalk individuals posts on lists with garbage so people start to think, whenever the one being targeted posts, "Oh fuck that means I'm gonna see all that shit from xxx(a)xxx.xxx again and wish the targeted person would stop posting and just lurk. Stupid... Simple... Social engineering. Rr

Sim Theory
by grarpamp 05 Nov '19

05 Nov '19

So many people have proposed we're simulated... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation_hypothesis Now why would such an extremely advanced civilization / collective want to simulate us? Is this an unanswered question? Certainly they have long since - solved biology, live forever, down/up load their brains against trauma - solved life and mobility throughout their universe - lost and forgotten their prehistory - etc They could sim anything they want. So why sim us? Because something happened to them, something very big, something serious and existentially threatening. And now they're *desperately* trying to learn about death, life, humanity, the individual... something they lost but is still encoded in them just enough to let them think of making the sim...

Quantum Computers
by jim bell 05 Nov '19

05 Nov '19

https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2016-09-06/quantum-computers-are-co… [partial quote] Quantum mechanics, Carl Sagan once observed, is so strange that "common sense is almost useless in approaching it." Scientists still don't understand exactly why matter behaves as it does at the quantum level. Yet they're getting better at exploiting its peculiar dynamics -- in ways that may soon upend the technology business. One of the most interesting applications is in computing. In theory, quantum computers could take advantage of odd subatomic interactions to solve certain problems far faster than a conventional machine could. Although a full-scale quantum computer is still years off, scientists have lately made a lot of progress on thematerials, designs and methods needed to make one. And that could have some striking benefits. Quantum computers could simulate how atoms and molecules behave, to the greatadvantage of chemists and drug designers. They could solveoptimization problems -- say, how to efficiently route airplane traffic -- far faster than current technology can. They could speed advances in artificial intelligence, improve sensors, and lead to the design of stronger and lighter industrial materials.[end of partial quote] Jim Bell

[WAR] a turning point? Brzezinski, Mastermind of US Hegemony, Says Abandon Imperial Pipe Dreams

This looks highly significant to me - public statement of defeat of US "world hegemony" regime, by Brzezinsky, very arguably "the US regime's architect". ** Even Brzezinski, Mastermind of US Hegemony, Says Abandon Imperial Pipe Dreams (http://russia-insider.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fa2faf7034c3c3c413c…) ------------------------------------------------------------ by Mike Whitney on Wed, Aug 31, 2016 The original title of this article was: The Broken Chessboard: Brezinski Gives up on EmpireThe main architect of Washington’s plan to rule the world has abandoned the scheme and called for the forging of ties with Russia and China.
