Jerry believed in Bob. Bob had insights nobody could refute. And as long as he had the money, Jerry thought, he would continue to fight for freedom and the American way. He knew that Bob would be right there with him. Frankly, if he was suspicious of anyone now it was of Larry.
Engineering had been good to Jerry. He had a few million dollars to show for his career, and for this he was grateful. Since his eyes had opened, however, he could not un-see the world as he knew it. The plandemic was a red-pill event. So was Biden. His conversations with Larry, too, had been formative. His conversations with Bob, though, were transformative.
Bob was connected. Jerry didn’t push too hard on Bob to back up his credentials–on his law degree or work experience–because this wasn’t what spooks did to spooks. Everything was understood, and had to go unspoken. Part of the business was gut instincts. Thank god he had good instincts, Jerry thought. He’d always wanted to be in the business, and always believed he would make a good operative. Now that he was in the game he felt better than he’d ever felt as an engineer. He was making a difference. Sure, it cost money. You had guys on your payroll because you needed them to do the legwork to get the word out. He was his own gatekeeper. Besides, he paid a pittance for his guys. With his software royalties coming in he could afford them for quite a while. So long as there was still room to move in the space he would continue. Thank god he didn’t live in Canada, he thought. Those guys were screwed.
For Bob, his journalism career died when the paper died. The writing had been on the wall for a while, and when he got his slip he wasn’t surprised. Some others in the office were shocked when it came, but when newspaper after newspaper became skinnier or outright shut down it all started to make sense. The internet was changing how people got their news at lightning speed.
When the recruiter called him, Bob remembers being confused. Who was this? What did he want? It all sounded so abstract. His job was to worm his way through the networks until he found small, conservative gatekeepers. People who had set up on-line blogs, or any other accumulators of information and opinion. He was instructed to find only three for starters. His compensation would reflect the speed and effectiveness of his efforts.
Bob was to secure the confidence of each accumulator so that they accepted his advice and information above others. Bob’s handler, in turn, assessed Bob’s performance based on how the messages of his three “broadcasters” were favourably altered. Broadcaster baseline attitudes were recorded at the start of their identification. If a broadcaster was over target, Bob’s job was to get it off target. As Bob’s handler told him over their second conversation:
“Imagine you’re talking to one of your three broadcasters. He tells you the vaxx is causing heart problems in young men. He cites Dr. Peter McCullough. What do you reply?”
“I say McCullough is wrong?”
“Absolutely not! Never impede the momentum of your broadcaster, and never make yourself sound or look like the type he opposes. He isn’t stupid. We must utilize his momentum if we can. Harness it. So instead of disagreeing with him, use what I give you. Remember what I told you in our first conversation? This is like those multi-level marketing pyramids like Amway or Mary Kay. I give you the product. All you do is pass it on. Simple, right? So if he says McCullough, you bring in Dr. Robert Malone. Bring up his latest interview and send it to him. Just give to him what I give to you…”
Frankly, Bob thought, he had never had it so good. It had taken him a while to get the hang of it, but once he understood his corner of things it was easy. Very easy. He worked from home and made better money than what he had made for the newspaper. In fact, he was now considering looking for a fourth broadcaster. Yes, Jerry had been burning up a lot of his time, but he was pretty much controlled op, now. The heavy lifting was done. He just had to get rid of that pest, Larry. That was the only real problem he had. Legitimate competition. This was his only hurdle to a bigger pay check.
Larry was one of these guys who really drilled down into the mechanics of things. Guys who studied dialectics were very rare, and way above his pay grade. As his handler put it to him:
“So you’ve got Jerry, right? Ok, imagine you’re standing beside Jerry, and he’s got a high-powered rifle in his hands. He’s got a deer in his sights. That deer is 500 yards away. Before he pulls the trigger all you have to do is nudge the barrel of his rifle one millimeter either way. One millimeter at the barrel means that bullet misses Bambi by 15 feet at 500 meters. Get it now…?”
Bob remembered that conversation well. His handler, who went by the name Mark, told him not to waste his time with deep mechanics, or dialectics. “Just get these three broadcasters going in the right direction,” Mark told him. “Then we’ll talk about a fourth and maybe a pay raise. Leave all that other bullshit to me.”
Bob knew there were other ex-journalists like himself. He imagined Mark ran possibly ten guys. With each one of those ten running three or four broadcasters this meant thirty to forty opposers were, or became, controlled. Forty voices, with each having a reach of, say, five-thousand, meant two-hundred thousand people were getting off-target information.
Bob wondered how many Marks there were, and who was above Mark in the “Amway” pyramid. Soon he would have to ask Mark what to do with Larry if he couldn’t shake him off of Jerry. Maybe this was how you became a Mark, Bob thought. To get promoted you solved your own problems…
Yeah, it was the best job he’d ever had. He got a pay check from Mark and one from each accumulator. That was real money. The only thing Mark warned him about was to make sure his broadcasters believed in his connection to deeper sources than the Larrys of the world, and that if he came across others like himself to report them.
Mark would tell him who was selling legitimate information. Amway.
MSM laments their diminishing monopoly in the space while oblivious to the Bobs, Jerrys, Marks and Larrys fighting it out over the next legacy:

‘That’s Nasty’: NYC Neighborhood Left Filthy with Migrants’ Poop, Cups of Urine
The multitude of migrants flooding New York City have apparently not been cleaning up after themselves in the East Village area.
For the past few months, adult migrants have stood in line outside former St. Brigid’s School on East 7th Street, the New York Post reported Saturday, noting the overflow of people has spilled into Tompkins Square Park as they wait to be given shelter and a bed.
However, workers with the city’s Parks Department have been forced to remove three Port-a-Potties from the nearby park because they were left so dirty it became impossible to keep them clean.
A street cleaner identified as John Cashvan told the Post about his recent experience, stating, “There was a cup of what I thought was somebody’s discarded hot chocolate that turned out to be not hot chocolate.” He added that when the temperatures are warm, the area smells like a toilet.
An image shows what appears to be the inside of one of the blue portable restrooms, and the toilet appeared to be overflowing with debris:

Workers should always remember to position toilets facing north and south. Do not offend Allah.
Just a half hour north of Ottawa in Gatineau Park, a family had to leave their cottage behind some years ago because of dangerously high radium gases inside the building. I imagine there are many claims staked in the area:

Ukraine must be willing to cede some of its territory to Russia for a peace deal, Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico said on Saturday.
Ahead of a scheduled meeting between recently installed Prime Minister Robert Fico and his Ukrainian counterpart Denys Shmyhal on Wednesday, the left-wing populist Slovak leader ruffled feathers in Kyiv by suggesting that any peace solution will likely require some territorial concessions to Russia.
“There has to be some kind of compromise, which will be very painful for both sides. And what are they waiting for? That the Russians will leave Crimea, Donbas and Luhansk? It’s unrealistic,” Fico said according to the Slovak news outlet Aktuality.

During Saturday’s broadcast of FNC’s “Life, Liberty & Levin,” host Mark Levin decried what he deemed to be “slavery” that was underway at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Levin said very little attention was granted to this “slavery” issue, noting its absence from the mainstream media.

BREAKING: Journalist Stephen Baker Releases Statement After DOJ Threatens Prosecution Following His Video Report Indicting J6 Capitol Police Officers of Perjury
by Jim Hoft Jan. 22, 2024 9:45 am151 Comments
Nearly three years after the January 6, 2021 fedsurrection, Blaze reporter Stephen Baker reported in December that he will be charged for his actions that day reporting on the event.
Steve wrote in October that he was under investigation for the past two years by Chris Wray’s FBI for reporting at the historic protests in Washington DC.
Even reporters aren’t safe from this tyrannical regime. Steve expected to be charged by the Biden regime.
Steve is no ordinary reporter, in the past year he found and published stories about video evidence that contradicts claims made by the Department of Justice – and evidence presented by the DOJ – in various trials of the January 6 defendants.
In July, The Gateway Pundit and Cowboy Logic offered proof that the DOJ edited video to incriminate the Oath Keepers during their trial.
The DOJ’s star witness in the Oath Keepers trial, Special Agent David Lazarus. lied under oath and was not present during an alleged confrontation as he testified in court. He was in a different location. In July 2023, Donna Fiducia and Don Neuen co-hosts of Cowboy Logic on Real America’s Voice, released evidence that the Biden DOJ edited footage from January 6 in order to convict innocent January 6 protesters and Oath Keepers members.
Steve Baker was the first to uncover the entire video that proves Officer Lazarus lied under oath during the Oath Keeper’s trial.
Recently Stephen Baker reported that the person who discovered the mysterious pipe bomb at the DNC on January 6 was an undercover officer.
Now the FBI is after him.
On Monday Stephen Baker’s attorneys released a statement.

Vice President Mike Flynn? — Mike Flynn Hints at Accepting VP Role if Asked by Trump (VIDEO)
by Jim H?ft Jan. 22, 2024 11:20 am0 Comments
Former National Security Advisor General Mike Flynn hinted he would not dismiss the idea of joining the Trump ticket as a Vice Presidential candidate if the opportunity arose.
This revelation came during the screening of “Out of Shadows and Into the Light” on Saturday night in Florida, where an audience member posed the question.
Out of Shadows and Into the Light is a film that “exposes corruption within Hollywood, the media, our government, human trafficking, and more, which is highly relevant to all that’s currently happening in society now and the history of it all.”

World’s largest nuclear reactor aims to power the Earth with unlimited energy: ‘Arguably the most complex machine ever designed’

While it may sound like part of the Mandalorian creed, experts at ITER claim “The Way” here on Earth is headed to an unimaginable goal: everlasting energy.
Experts at ITER, the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (and also Latin for “the way,” per the agency) are working to harness fusion reactions, the same energy source that powers the sun, according to the project’s website.
If successful, the experts in southern France could provide a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels and nuclear fission with “arguably the most complex machine ever designed,” ITER’s communications lead Laban Coblentz told Euronews Next.
Nuclear energy is far from new science, and while there have been well-reported disasters, the technology is stable with the right personnel oversight and protection from natural disasters like earthquakes. Fission is used to power the 436 nuclear reactors around the world and requires slamming neutrons into larger atoms to create energy, splitting them into smaller particles. The process does not contribute significant greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, but it does produce radioactive waste.
Fusion, on the other hand, forms a heavier atom when two smaller particles slam together. The result is far more energy than fission, and without the radioactive waste, all per the United States Department of Energy.
The ITER team wants to prove that the process can be industrialized. They have been at work on the project since at least 2005. Testing includes the largest magnetic confinement chamber on the planet, which the researchers call a tokamak.
When complete, the chamber will weigh more than 25,000 tons, withstanding temperatures of up to 302 million degrees Fahrenheit. It creates power by using some of the hot particles to heat water, which would power a turbine via steam, all per Euronews.
The process requires unfathomable heat. For reference, USA Today reports that our 4.5 billion-year-old sun is 27 million degrees Fahrenheit at its core.
“You try to take something up to 150 million degrees [Celsius]. You try to make it the scale that is needed and so forth. It’s just a difficult thing to do,” Coblentz told Euronews.
The project hasn’t been without setbacks. The cost was originally budgeted at about $5.5 billion. But Euronews reports that it’s now nearly $22 billion. To stay on schedule, Coblentz told the online news agency that the experts plan to skip “first plasma” — a testing milestone — “to get to fusion power initially in 2035.”
“We’ll make sure that that testing gets done in another way so that we can stick as much as possible to that date,” he said.
He added that the complex nature of the project is a challenge, often because it is groundbreaking research.
“Simply due to the complexity and the multitude of first-of-a-kind materials, first-of-a-kind components in a first-of-a-kind machine,” he said to Euronews.
This isn’t the only team working on novel nuclear projects. American icon Westinghouse is developing a small fission reactor set to go online in 2029. It’s unique because it’s portable and can power remote locations for about eight years without water, reducing upward of 55,000 tons of air pollution annually, according to the company.
ITER’s team is looking sunward for inspiration. And instead of waiting for the sunbeams to fall to our solar panels, they want to harness the source.
With planetwide overheating ravaging the world, the team is also feeling the heat.
“The longer that we wait for fusion to arrive, the more we need it,” Coblentz said in the Euronews report. “So the smart money is: get it here as fast as possible.”

The ‘Liberator’ One-Shot Pistol Secretly Given to Resistance Fighters in World War II
The FP-45 was an unknown and surreptitious pistol developed in WWII to help our captured allies regain control of their country, or province. In order to conceal its real function as a firearm, our government represented this pistol as a flare projector. It was officially called the FP-45. A million of these guns were made in three months with no serial number, and no inspector nor military markings – in order to be unattainable to know who made them and where they came from.
The FP-45 was secretly called the Liberator. Its purpose was to help insurgents or resistance fighters in occupied areas. The gun was only single shot, made out of sheet metal. No rifled barrel or magazine. It was believed that its crude and ineffective design would be ignored by the enemy. Moreover, the mere presence of a liberator would hopefully damage enemy morale, knowing that the insurgents may have a firearm.

BREAKING: Judge Unseals Divorce Records of Top Trump Prosecutor Nathan Wade After Bank Statements Show He Traveled with Fani Willis
by Cristina Laila Jan. 22, 2024 12:40 pm195 Comments
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is in hot water with her paramour Nathan Wade’s estranged wife, Jocelyn Wade.
A Cobb County judge on Monday granted a motion to unseal the top Trump prosecutor Nathan Wade’s divorce records.
Judge Henry R. Thompson on Monday also issued a stay on Fani Willis’ deposition…for now. Willis previously tried to quash the subpoena. She was supposed to give a deposition on Tuesday.
Jocelyn Wade’s attorney told the judge on Monday that her client wants Fani Willis’ deposition *not as a Fulton County DA* but as “the alleged paramour of my client’s husband.”
“I have questions and she needs to answer them,” Jocelyn Wade’s lawyer told the judge.

NEW: 35-year-old man William Grover Carter executed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by three thugs after they robbed him.
Infuriating.
Carter had just left a friend’s house in Norristown when the men confronted him and robbed him.
Instead of simply letting Carter go, the men shot him dead.
They fled the scene in a Toyota RAV-4 with a fourth individual. Police believe the vehicle was stolen and was reportedly found in flames hours later.

Ecuador’s escalating drug violence has recently grabbed global headlines, but the crisis didn’t bloom overnight. Over the past five years, alarming signs of a deteriorating security situation have been well documented.
During this time, the country’s murder rate has skyrocketed sixfold, and the amount of drugs trafficked through its borders has soared by a staggering 300%.
Last summer, the world watched in shock as European authorities made the largest drug seizure in history: 9 tons of cocaine concealed within a shipment of bananas. Even more unsettling, however, was the point of origin: Ecuador.

A Venezuelan criminal gang that for the past few years has been extending its operations and causing havoc throughout Latin America has made an appearance in South Florida, police say, claiming that at least one of its members was involved in a recent Miami murder.
José Luis Sánchez Valera, a 43-year-old retired Venezuelan police officer who lived in Doral, was lured by women into a hotel room in Miami in late November and killed after he was abducted in the parking lot. Yurwin Salazar, 23, a Venezuelan immigrant who lives in South Florida, has been charged with the murder.
According to police reports, Salazar is a member of the Tren de Aragua, the infamous gang that has been terrorizing citizens of the South American country for more than a decade. Valera’s abduction, carjacking, home invasion and murder is the first documented instance of a crime committed in South Florida by a member of the gang known for its size and wanton use of violence.

Canadians PLEASE keep in mind when reading all things Warren Kinsella, he and his wifelet campaigned rigorously for Hillary Clinton.
Nick Nanos is a Liberal who will play along, buddy buddy and then just before Election Day, he WILL endorse Justine.

Wasn’t Kinsella the guy that Harper hired to do PR and then ‘leaked’ right before an election a little something something that caused Harper to lose? Do I have that right?
