    1. Anna Edwards; articulate, smart, excellent presenter. Guy Johnston – sorry to have to say this but – quite wooden and difficult to watch or listen to. In fact I just change channels when he comes on. Most probably Bloomberg is still experimenting in an effort to improve its ratings but I suspect the current formula is not a success. Keep trying people.

    2. WHERE WARS ARE WON OR LOST ??

      Wars are waged by older men

      In battle rooms in countries apart.

      Who call for greater firepower

      And troops for the combat chart.

      While out among the shattered flesh

      The dreams of all have turned gray.

      So young and determined their faces were

      Till on the battlefield they lay.

      Unable to overcome their pride

      The politicians cast their vote.

      For this or that or something else

      As the rage of war sounds its note.

      Wherever wars are won or lost

      The soldiers fall like toys.

      Down through history it remains the same

      Most who die are hardly more than boys.

      Like monkeys in a revolving cage

      Man squabbles for the peanuts of power.

      When will we rise above our greed

      And become as a beautiful flower?

      Death to death, dust to dust

      The wrath of war is a horrible crime.

      It’s the beast within that still prevails

      As it has through the torments of time.

    3. Meanwhile, Senate Democrats BLOCKING the < Save Act Bill > so 20MILLION plus ILLEGAL MIGRANTS can VOTE in 2024!! Also WHY IS MSM WITHOLDING THIS INFORMATION? Because both DNC&MSM are GLOBALIST ELITIST LEFTISTS ACTIVISTS – 😢 VOTE RED we've got 20MILLION plus ILLEGAL MIGRANT VOTEs to OUTNUMBER!!

    4. The swampy swamp is so desperate I wouldn't doubt if they try to start a World War, so that they can cancel our upcoming elections, after all anyone but Trump right?

    5. And you believe Ukraine on the nuclear plant. One of these days mainstream media will realize that Ukraine has never told you the truth about anything.

    6. This goes out to EVERY moderate Democrat, Liberal and Independent, what happen to your voice? We've watched the Radical Left Democrats STEAL your voice, from Bernie Sanders, Andrew Yang, Dean Phillips, JFK Jr.. and now Biden using the D.N.C. to clear the Primary's and Install who they Chose, stripping the Choice and Hopes from you.
      If President Trump doesn't Stop this Runaway Regime of Biden/Harris and the Radical Left, you, me and OUR kids will never have a Hope or a Political Party to counter what's headed our way. All I can say is, LOOK at what they've done to America in the Last 3 years.
      And if you think I'm Wrong all you have to Look at is what's Transpiring since the Debate.
      God save us All !

    7. Malum In Se/Malum Prohibitum

      Nothing moral requires authority. Authority is the claim to the exclusive exemption to morality. It is a monopoly on violence. Violence is a violation because it is the initiation of aggression, not self-defense. Offense/defense are ontologically distinct. All crime has a legal equivalent (ie, taxation is extortion).

      Every government is founded on Ad Baculum.

      Petitio Principii can and will be used against you.

      Warren v. District of Columbia
      Town of Castle Rock v. Gonzales
      DeShaney v. Winnebago County
      Lozito v. New York City

      You are legally compelled via the logical fallacies Ad Populum, Ad Baculum and Ad Verecundiam to pay for protection that they are not legally obligated to provide. That's a mafia.

      The highest Abrahamic value is Ignorance of Good and Evil. It's right there in Genesis. They worship Yaldabaoth, God of the Scapegoaters: God blames Man; Man blames Woman; Woman blames Serpent; Serpent blames God, more accurately – the Serpent defines God.

      Ritualistic classifying surgery as a means of psychic castration, like circumcision and sub-incision, are hallmarks of patriarchal culture, a demonstration to the young that the venerable old ones still wield the all-powerful knife – and the beginning of transsexualism. Those who do not perform the cult's rite can never enjoy full social status.

      Symbols of the castrated member, the tie and bow-tie, are mandatory accoutrements of the political wardrobe and phallic monuments are erected to commemorate the minds conquered long ago. Brute force is no longer necessary.

      The capitalist priest class of Psychiatry, working in tandem with the State bureaucracy, regulates and polices the new Restriction and gelding of desire. Psychiatrists, along with other legal arbiters, help to obscure justice with grey areas of intentionality, mental state, etc.

      Some mistake this as a system of Liberty, ignorant of the fact that Psychiatric Control is a cornerstone of the perfected Totalitarian State.

      All modern illnesses come from the absurd and tragic struggle of man's inability to bridle Nature. This dogma echoes perpetually, omnisciently by understanding voices in self-help books, billboards, radio commercials and television talk shows to convince the public to practice continual self-suppression and hormonal restraint. Any deviation is an indication of something severely wrong with the individual.

      Perhaps Lycanthropic Transformation Rites are in some way a Psychic Preparation for the millennial calamities that are thought to lie ahead.

      Legalism is a Language of Equivocations, a process of assimilation to violence and illogic.

      They lump themselves into a group. They want all the collective praise and none of the collective blame (No True Scotsman). If they were truly concerned for their reputation they wouldn’t wear a uniform. Badges are just snowflakes.

      "Everything is metamorphosed into its opposite to perpetuate itself in its expurgated form. All the powers, all the institutions speak of themselves through denial, in order to attempt, by simulating death, to escape their real death throes. […] For example: it would be interesting to see whether the repressive apparatus would not react more violently to a simulated holdup than to a real holdup. Because the latter does nothing but disturb the order of things, the right to property, whereas the former attacks the reality principle itself." – Jean Baudrillard (Simulacra & Simulation – 1981)

      "Our rulers, who rule our symbols, and so rule a symbolic class of life, impose their own infantilism on our instituitions, educational methods, and doctrines. This leads to maladjustment of the incoming generations which, being born into, are forced to develop under the un-natural (for man) semantic conditions imposed on them. In turn, they produce leaders afflicted with the old animalistic limitations. The vicious circle is completed; it results in a general state of human un-sanity, reflected again in our instituitions. And so it goes, on and on." – Alfred Korzybski (Science and Sanity: An Introduction to Non-Aristotelian Systems and General Semantics – 1933)

      "I am a cosmopolitan." – Diogenes

      "If I could not be Alexander, I should wish to be Diogenes." – Alexander the Great

      "A man is no less a slave because he is allowed to choose a new master once in a term of years." – Lysander Spooner (No Treason: Constitution of No Authority – 1867)

      "It is incredible how as soon as a people become subject, it promptly falls into such complete forgetfulness of its freedom that it can hardly be roused to the point of regaining it, obeying so easily and willingly that one is led to say that this people has not so much lost its liberty as won its enslavement." – Étienne de la Boétie (Discours de la servitude volontaire ou le Contr'un – 1577)

      "Leadership in government is political power, and political power is an official form of antagonizing the people. Politics are rules imposed upon the people. They have every man in a straight jacket and without a passport he cannot move a toe. In a free world, they violate the natural rights of every citizen. They have become the weapons of political despots and if you don't think as they think you're deprived of your passport." – Michael Chaplin as Rupert Macabee (A King in New York – 1957)

      "Imagine, if you will, a world filled only with criminals of whom there are two classes: those too honest to rationalize their crimes and the powerful who scapegoat them." – Rod Serling

      "Eye have no Moral Obligation to ask permission from the person to whom Eye Morally Object if Eye may exercise mEye Moral Objection." – Unknown

    8. I worked at nuclear power plants for years. What their showing on fire, is a cooling tower. It cools off condenser water, so it can be reused. The only thing those towers are made out of are concrete ad steel. there's nothing in there that can burn. And what makes thick black smoke when you burn it. Rubber. Like old tires. Don:t be fooled RUSSIA did this.
