  1. SELECTION CODE: The Movie

    Was 2020 stolen? It’s deeper than that.

    You’ve heard it said “Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything.”

    What about those who code the vote?

    What if our leaders aren’t actually being elected by us, but instead… selected?

    [S]ELECTION CODE follows the story of Tina Peters the County Clerk in Mesa Colorado, who made a backup of her counties Dominion Voting System server, only to stumble across evidence of manipulation in a recent local city council election…. and also the 2020 general election. Tina’s discovery ignites a chain reaction upending her life. And upending the world.

    You will not be able to unsee what you see.

    We stand at an apex in human history. Are we handing too much power to technology – and those that program it?

    [S]ELECTION CODE is a political thriller uncovering a secret so critical to the survival of America it transcends political parties. It is not about correcting the past. It’s about correcting the future.

    Once you see [S]ELECTION CODE you’ll never again let a machine near your vote.

    Gangsters vs. Nazis
    How the Jewish mob fought American admirers of the Third Reich

    “…Nazi Bund rallies in New York City in the late 1930s created a terrible dilemma for the city’s Jewish leaders. With 20,000 members, the Nazi Bund was the largest anti-Semitic group in the nation. They organized large public rallies and marched to drumbeats wearing brown shirts and swastikas, and carrying Nazi flags. Jewish leaders wanted the meetings stopped, but could not do so legally. Nathan Perlman, a judge and former Republican congressman, was one Jewish leader who believed that the Jews should demonstrate more militancy. In 1935, he surreptitiously contacted Meyer Lansky, a leading organized crime figure born on the 4th of July, and asked him to help. Lansky related to me what followed…”

    All yesterday and today. Ir’s usually like this. No way you’ll find so many in the news in the US and so constantly.

  12. “Rabbi Altmann and his secretary were sitting in a coffeehouse in Berlin in 1935. “Herr Altmann,” said his secretary, “I notice you’re reading Der Stürmer! I can’t understand why. A Nazi libel sheet! Are you some kind of masochist, or, God forbid, a self-hating Jew?”
    “On the contrary, Frau Epstein. When I used to read the Jewish papers, all I learned about were pogroms, riots in Palestine, and assimilation in America. But now that I read Der Stürmer, I see so much more: that the Jews control all the banks, that we dominate in the arts, and that we’re on the verge of taking over the entire world. You know – it makes me feel a whole lot better!””

  13. Iran gives Russia 300 combat drones in trade for Su-35 warplanes in deepening military ties

    “Up against fierce odds in Ukraine, Moscow has forged a comprehensive military contract with Tehran which promises help in the form of 300 Shahed-129 and Shaed-191 combat drones (see photo), in return for fourth generation Sukhoi-35 fighters, DEBKAfile’s special military sources disclose. Russian experts will upgrade the Iranian Air Force’s capabilities to absorb the new aircraft.
    The military ties developing between Moscow and Tehran are multi-faceted. Iran’s aviation industry and its air force maintenance facilities have been repairing Russian aircraft damaged in the Ukraine war. The drones supplied to Russia will also showcase Iran’s products for the world market. In the past fortnight, as part of their military deal, Iran has placed its cyberwar hackers at the service of Russia’s war effort in Ukraine. The Farigh al Tehereh hackers, who attacked electronic networks at bases in Rumania, are operating for Russia under cover disguised as “the Iraqi resistance group.”
    Western sources have learned of Russian and Iranian officers holding high-level meetings to discuss Tehran possibly offering Moscow the use of some of its ballistic missiles to make up for Russia’s dwindling stocks in the Ukraine conflict.
    Another topic considered is the possible handover of Russia’s Syrian bases to Revolutionary Guards forces, since Moscow is deploying some of its Syria-based units as reinforcements for its war effort in Ukraine. This subject first came up in July 22 during the talks Revolutionary Guards commander Gen. Hossein Salami held in Damascus with Syrian president Bashar Assad. At the time, Moscow was against expanding Iran’s foothold in Syra, but, according to Western intelligence sources, it is more amenable to this at present.
    An open display of the tightening military relations is still to come with a large-scale joint Russian, Chinese, Iranian naval exercise in Venezuela scheduled to take places from 17 to 27 of August in Venezuela. This will be the first time Moscow is blatantly working with Tehran to signal Washington that the three hostile navies are quite able to combine and strike America in the event of total war.
    In further signs of amity, Iran has established a trade center in Moscow; Russian and Iranian airlines have stepped up the frequency of flights between the two countries; both are using Russia’s Mir electronic payment service and finally, Russia has provided Iran with a passage to India for its exports.”]

  14. China Shuts Down Factories Due to Power Shortages
    John Hayward17 Aug 2022

    China’s summertime energy crisis intensified on Wednesday with news that factories in Sichuan province have been ordered to halt production for at least six days.

    Sichuan is a major source of lithium for batteries and solar panels, so ripple effects from the shutdown are likely to affect electric car and green energy companies in the U.S. and around the world.

    China is going down fast, and will not recover for a long time.

  16. I just remembered something about my trip to Kyiv in 2019. It seemed random and unimportant at the time, but now it’s important. First, let me state that I’m totally against sending money there because it’s just grift and keeps the artificial and unnecessary war going, so I’m not trying to prop up the narrative.

    Okay, here is what I remember. When I got there, I noticed all over the tourist areas, big posters advertising Netta Barzilai’s upcoming concert, which was already over when I arrived in Kyiv. I missed her by a week or two, I don’t remember. Why is this important? Well, you know, we are told Ukrainians are Nazis. What kind of Nazis invite an Israeli Eurovision winner to sing there, leave the posters up for weeks, and those posters are not defaced, none of them, I would have remembered that because I’m Jewish and always notice things like that. The posters were still up and no graffiti, no swastikas, no nothing, just leftover publicity for a big concert that took place recently. Sorry, narrative promoting people, ordinary people in Kyiv are not Nazis. Can you imagine those posters in 1940s Germany? Or contemporary Germany for that matter.

    Thank you, again. How kind of you. You are a scholar and a gentlewoman.

  33. Sebastien. the word picaron in Mexico means a unconscionable tease. Your will remain in the “bad chair”.

  34. @Honey Thank you.

    Picarones are a Peruvian dessert that originated in Lima during the viceroyalty. It is somewhat similar to buñuelos, a type of doughnut brought to the colonies by Spanish conquistadors. Its principal ingredients are squash and sweet potato. It is served in a doughnut form and covered with syrup, made from chancaca.

  37. Edgar and Sebastien you both will remain in the “bad chairs”. Sebastien for being an annoying piccaron and Edgar for allowing himself to be taken in by Sebastien’s nonsense.

  38. @HONEYBEE-

    I believe that including me in your very proper intervention in this ridiculous series is not warranted. Perhaps a teacher’s way of “spreading the responsibility”. Sebastien’s little streak of mischievousness, often very funny, zoomed in on ME, which was O.K….within limits. But he persisted with nonsense that I tried to avoid. The remarks I made were all supported by sources, which I gave.

    The little streak become a bigger streak, no longer pleasant, but offensive, and has caused a rift in our hitherto very amiable relationship. I have no time for a tzilahachas, and had no intention of answering his offensive “grasshopper”.

    But I sincerely thank you, and glad for your “intervention”.

  41. Sebastien and Edgar G both of you behave. If your were in my first grade class you both would be on the “bad chair” and facing the wall for fighting and language. Castigese.

  42. @Grasshopper What’s Smatsdik? And what about your instructions to your estate to keep this going? Promises, Promises.

  43. @SEB-

    For the lat time…… The two brothers Olinsky married two sisters who were Dutch Reformed Church adherents.

    The Jewish Chronicle article was extremely specific. You can read it for yourself in footnote “2” at the bottom of the O’Linn blurb.

    My family got the Jewish Chronicle every week all their lives and it was completely reliable. All our departed family members had their Obituary announcements in the Jewish Chronicle printed in London England.
    Every Dublin Community Household likely got it as well.

    These are my final words on this thoroughly useless discussion, made repugnant solely by you. Go and exercise your “smatsdik” on someone else.

    As you seem intent to carry this farce on, ad infinitum, I will direct my executors to keep it active for as long as you like..

    Maybe it’s in my blood. My great-grandfather was a rabbi (though I never knew him; he died at Auschwitz in 1944).

    Sid O’Linn, who died last month, was a top-flight footballer and cricketer. But few knew that he was also the son of a kosher butcher…But his Irish-sounding name concealed a hidden fact: Mr O’Linn, who died last month in Johannesburg at the age of 89, was born Sydney Olinsky, the son of a kosher butcher.

  50. @SEB-

    You know well enough I’m not basing anything on “Headlines” They are merely corroborating. You are deliberately obfuscating the clarity of my research results.. I’ve given you a load of facts, and the Jewish Chronicle article is conclusive. He was not born a Jew and never was a Jew.

    Are you denying this too??
