    That comes from Simon Parkes
    He values his reputation so I took it as read--
    Yes it does seem impossible.
    I did not know where to research this to be honest

    Chris - I love a good conspiracy theory ... I also love science fiction... sometimes the two are almost indistinguishable, as in the case of your Simon Parkes material:

    1. Simon Parkes is a known disinformation agent
    2. The Royal Bank of Canada is Canada's largest corporation with a market cap of $117B
    3. I'm an RBC customer and if they seized all my funds it wouldn't make much difference to their market cap (they haven't seized my $ as of yet)
    4. Your post is off topic - not sure how it relates to the US presidential election or it's aftermath.

    I put it here on this thread as Trump has hinted at financial changes in banking system and could not think where else to put it.

    Good amendment Chris... one final point on diligence... Trump can hint at anything he wants, but (a) he's not president and (b) he's not Canadian. Thank God.

    Quote Posted by Gracy May (here)

    Come on Chris, this is not a serious news site, it's entertainment at best. Lots of claims stated as fact with absolutely nothing to back them up, this is no different in nature than watching our mainstream evening news parrot CIA talking points on a daily basis.

    Who's the source for this story? "Our source".

    There's another one there: "Delta Force Raids Biden Compound in Ukraine".
    https://realrawnews.com/2021/01/delt...nd-in-ukraine/


    Who's the source? "Reliable sources said".

    Here's another example of Hillary being detained at Gitmo, again: "Clinton Military Tribunal: Day 3".
    https://realrawnews.com/2021/04/clin...ribunal-day-3/

    Anything to back it up? Absolutely nothing. We have a pattern here...

    The backbone of true research is looking for what actually is, not what we want things to be; soon as we start just looking for what we want to see, we'll find it all over on places like the evening news, or the plethora of silly click bait sites like this targeting a certain audience looking for "good news".
    wow

    was gone only TWO days before it became fair game to come in this thread and ATTACK

    no wonder the "bad mood" avatar one felt free to have the comportment of rudeness, insult, derision, superiority, criticism and judgment

    why wouldn't she feel that is acceptable when an admin does the EXACT same thing?


    with a name like Gracy May, i'm assuming English is your first and NOT second language am i correct?

    if so, you would be well aware that the phrase "C'mon man" is equivalent to saying
    (asking):

    "ARE YOU STUPID?"


    which IS AN INSULT

    to be precise, your post, words, and tone are:

    DERISIVE
    CRITICAL
    SUPERIOR
    JUDGMENTAL

    rather an AGGRSSIVE attitude and stance

    WHICH IS COMPLETELY DISRESPECTFUL
    not to mention INAPPROPRIATE

    for ANYONE
    much less a moderator


    just to answer your implied question, though no response is actually merited

    "NO, Chris is NOT stupid! years before i actually actively participated i've had the privilege of reading and learning much from him and i find him to be informative and highly intelligent

    Chris, like ALL of us, deserves respect and the right to expression and choice without being subject to ridicule or derision

    he's a pretty cool guy! the fact he bothers absolutely NO ONE just makes your attack even worse ...

    just to be CLEAR

    i'd really appreciate it if you would STOP this on this thread. The request has ALREADY been made MULTIPLE times.

    It has become an observable and definitive pattern for you Gracy

    this was Bill's comments on the EXACT same behavior from TomKat on the RECORD of MODERATOR ACTIONS on this post here

    Quote TomKat was posting his critiques of QAnon, and his skepticism, on the main QAnon thread. For a long time now, that's been a discussion, now very civilized and often interesting and valuable, about the machinations of American politics in general. (And there's a lot to be discussed and picked apart, for sure.) The thread is about much else beside QAnon.

    For anyone skeptical or critical of QAnon, they have a different thread on which to post their opinions and references, and that's on the QAnon: An Opposing Viewpoint thread. That's the very purpose of that separated thread.

    And for those critical of Trump, there's the longstanding thread Trump is NOT the answer. Anyone is free and welcome to post there as much as they like. Zamolxe, 42, Deneon, Tinman, and others.... that's your free platform.
    you are CLEARLY NOT aligned with the conversation here nor the standards of respect and politeness everyone else here pretty much espouses, so i'd really appreciate it if you would please follow Bill's suggestion and converse where it is more appropriate

    i will say that i'm not sure why you find it either acceptable to criticize, judge, speak with derision, insult (ALL forms of attack) to members of this forum?

    nor what makes it acceptable to do so publicly AS A moderator?

    but i'd really appreciate it if you would do that on those other threads instead of here from now on

    42

    i'd LOVE to say that we are all waiting with baited breath to discover what you and your cohorts LOVE but that would be untrue

    the only one most likely enamored and fascinated with that would be you ... fyi

    OR that we were waiting for YOU to come in here and set the standard for ... well .. anything ...

    untrue as well

    OR that we were completely dazzled and impressed with the ease with which derision flowed from you or your attempt at subtlety with your derogatory jab:
    "Slow news day, Chris" followed by a condescending directive

    yet sadly, to say that your behavior was "impressive"?

    would also be untrue

    you should know that NO ONE is ever impressed by rudeness, insults, criticisms, irrespective of the spin? they are ALL, in fact, forms of attack

    it is NOT your call to determine what is on topic to be discussed on this thread i started

    actually it follows the tradition of the Q Thread and Massive,
    we divert as WE see fit

    WE

    the people who regularly engage in discussion here

    politely

    with common basic decency and respect

    feeling free to post what WE find interesting and wish to share without FEAR of ridicule or derision

    which in ANY form
    from ANY source is unacceptable


    as it turns out, since we are ALL adults? we also do NOT "check in" or ask for permission or approval on the sources that WE choose

    the rest of the people here are intelligent and well able to make up their own minds, do their own research ... arrive at their own conclusions ... and even "skip" posts that do not resonate with them ... without seeking to impose or infringe with derision on another

    YOUR behavior and tactics are well known and documented ~ they have become sadly predictable

    is memory failing? because it has REALLY not been that long since this has been addressed with you

    to refresh: i will repost what Bill wrote here just to provide "one final point on diligence"

    Kamala Harris



    if true? truly bizarre!


    in case tweet does not embed? video can be seen here ... :

    https://twitter.com/GuidoFawkes1976/...68108560887813

    there are more .. just going to check to see if this is embedding ..

    i don't know if this is real or we are being trolled ... but i DO know that EVERY day that these two are allowed to continue the destruction of America the cost of acquiescence to this is escalating ...

    please note ... we did NOT go from respect of the people and their sovereignty to THIS in a single leap

    it occurred with EACH transgression that was NOT "dealt" with]

    i understand that SILENCE seems to be the easiest path and the pervasive mode of "dealing with situations"

    what i DO NOT understand is the fact that so many are failing to note that

    THERE IS A PRICE AND COST TO SILENCE

    a price we are paying now ... btw

    just sayin'

    PS

    this is the case in EVERY area of our lives ..

    i know some think politics, this forum and regular IRL are "separate"

    what i have found is that traditionally and predictably, people "operate" the SAME across the board

    which means that it was going to be impossible for us to speak up on a political, governmental level while failing to do so on a personal level

    i said this on about the 3rd day i came back

    i wasn't here to get Trump re-elected

    i was here to support the CONDITIONS NECESSARY to get him elected

    those would be Personal Power and Respect of the RIGHT of Others to CHOOSE

    some misinterpret this as people can do as they like and everyone be silent

    that's incorrect

    i will absolutely champion the right of ANYONE to choose

    even when "wrong"

    BECAUSE i will absolutely champion MY OWN right to CHOOSE my RESPONSE

    THAT is how it works

    for everybody

    when enough people connect to their personal power ~ their authentic power?

    and STOP allowing others to CONTROL/DOMINATE them?

    the outcomes we are currently facing will be IMPOSSIBLE

    imagine telling a nation, or state or city of people like me

    "you're going to HAVE TO do 'as you're told .. and you can't see people you love, and we're destroying your business .. oh ... and STAY .. as in 6 ft apart .. oh ...

    and as far as observing voter counting? ... we're not going to let you watch .. .'go stand over there out of the way'.. "


    how well would THAT go over?

    i think everyone can pretty much figure out the answer to that ....

    Biden praying for ‘right verdict’ in Chauvin trial

    By JONATHAN LEMIRE, MICHAEL BALSAMO

    AP reported a few hours ago:

    "WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden said Tuesday that he is “praying the verdict is the right verdict” in the trial of former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin and that he believed the case, which has gone to the jury and put the nation on edge, to be “overwhelming.”

    Biden, ahead of a meeting with lawmakers in the Oval Office, told reporters that he was only weighing in on the trial into the death of George Floyd, who died with Chauvin’s knee on his neck, because the jury in the case had been sequestered. He confirmed that he called Floyd’s family on Monday to offer prayers and said he “can only imagine the pressure and anxiety they’re feeling.”

    “They’re a good family and they’re calling for peace and tranquility no matter what that verdict is,” Biden said. “I’m praying the verdict is the right verdict. It’s overwhelming, in my view. I wouldn’t say that unless the jury was sequestered now.”

    The president has repeatedly denounced Floyd’s death but had previously stopped short of weighing in on the trial itself. His comments came as his administration has been privately weighing how to handle the upcoming verdict, including considering whether Biden should address the nation and dispatching specially trained community facilitators from the Justice Department, aides and officials told The Associated Press.

    The jury resumed deliberations Tuesday morning after spending a few hours Monday discussing the case behind closed doors. In closing arguments earlier in the day, a prosecutor told jurors that Chauvin “had to know” he was squeezing the life out of George Floyd as he cried over and over that he couldn’t breathe and finally fell silent. Chauvin faces murder and manslaughter charges.

    The plans for possible presidential remarks are still fluid, with the timing, venue and nature of the remarks still being considered, in part depending on the timing of the verdict, according to two White House aides who were not authorized to speak publicly about private conversations and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity.

    The White House has been warily watching the trial proceed in Minneapolis — and then another shooting of a Black man by a white police officer last week — and are preparing for the possibility of unrest if a guilty verdict is not reached in the trial. Biden may also speak after a guilty verdict, the White House aides said."

    I can not help but laugh
    I got lampooned for beating a drum about the PCR test not being fit for purpose.
    My lack of ability to research knocked.
    I maintained that the whole Covid scaremongering was based on a faulty test.
    Guess what. I was proven right.
    Not one word of apology.

    I dont mind --people are as they are.
    This is only on topic due to the comments.

    WHAT?

    you're kidding?

    Kary Mullis

    (inventor of the PCR) himself advised to NOT use it to "detect viruses" .. i had over a dozen articles and saw a video of him stating this himself

    Quote people are as they are
    and deserve the respect they GIVE

    attempts to "manage", ridicule, subtle use of indirect implying foolishness of another are all forms of attack intended to erode self confidence and undermine a person's ability to trust themselves and their choices making it unlikely they WILL choose for themselves in the future and defer to an aggressor instead ..

    you have always been such a great example OF respect Chris!

    just being you
    and allowing others the space to be them
    without criticism or challenge

    thank you!

    Strangely the RBC "fake news" is sill up on that site ---many thousands have seen it
    Chris
    Chris, the fact that many thousands have seen it does not make it legitimate. My earlier comments are not a criticism of you, simply a suggestion that we all need to do our diligence and show discernment. In this case the facts are clear. Royal Bank of Canada is not crashing, not stealing client funds and Canada is not crashing as a result. I live in Canada and if i notice my funds being stolen or my country on fire i will be the first to congratulate you and Simon Parkes on great investigative journalism.

    You are quoting me out of context 42
    You have taken the first line and the last part -- missing out the middle part.
    I have said it is fake news --Im pointing out that it is strange that it has not been taken down in spite of thousands having viewed it -- Im sorry If I did not make that clear in my post.

    WHATEVER it was that YOU interpreted as an opening to elevate yourself to a position of evaluation?
    (of another intelligent adult)

    IS an imagined superiority without merit

    an attempt to REDUCE an intelligent being into one:

    in NEED of YOUR guidance or suggestions

    it is impertinent (insulting)

    condescending

    ill mannered human being

    also you lack understanding in basic rules of engagement

    whatever opening you thought existed as an invitation to provide suggestions??

    was non existent

    your suggestions were UNINVITED and UNWELCOME

    to be CLEAR ..

    NO ONE asked you to come here and TELL anyone what

    YOU think > they SHOULD DO


    Quote Posted by 42 (here)

    that we all need to ..........
    did you use the words "NEED to" towards another adult?

    as in YOU ARE are actually setting YOURSELF up as an "authority" in a position to DICTATE?

    ('NEED' follows the line of ORDERS ... NOT even suggestions, which we have established were not solicited .. but jumping straight into giving directives .. ORDERS)

    are you a democrat by any chance?

    you know there's a whole thread of like minded folk who are strong believers and proponents of CONTROL/DOMINATION paradigms, right?

    it is a CONTAMINATION that has infected OUR country

    THAT type of behavior and conversation may be "acceptable" THERE but NOT here ..

    HERE it is considered rather rude to impose on another

    YOUR wishes for
    THEIR behavior

    you are NOT a necessary consideration in the choices another makes
    nor is YOUR "evaluation" of those choices

    while it appears to hold great fascination for YOU

    NO ONE else is either quite as fascinated
    nor interested in becoming your disciple
    or whatever it is you are promoting by attempts to cause people succumb to:

    YOUR WILL
    for THEM

    DO NOT COME IN HERE AND TELL another adult what he/she NEEDS to do

    solicitation for subservience is most definitely NOT the topic of this thread

    nor is your permission
    nor approval
    nor agreement

    a consideration any one here (or probably your life) wants to be burdened with

    as THAT is most DEFINITELY NOT the "topic" of this thread

    We should defend our way of life

    so that any adversary
    will never make such an attempt in the future.

    'READ, WEEP, PRINT AND KEEP!
    This should be on the front page of every newspaper.
    Charley Reese's Final column!
    A very interesting column. COMPLETELY NEUTRAL.
    Be sure to Read the Poem at the end..
    Charley Reese's final column for the Orlando Sentinel... He has been a journalist for 49 years. He is retiring and this is HIS LAST COLUMN.
    Be sure to read the Tax List at the end.
    This is about as clear and easy to understand as it can be. The article below is completely neutral, neither anti-republican or democrat. Charlie Reese, a retired reporter for the Orlando Sentinel, has hit the nail directly on the head, defining clearly who it is that in the final analysis must assume responsibility for the judgments made that impact each one of us every day. It's a short but good read. Worth the time. Worth remembering!
    545 vs. 300,000,000 People
    -By Charlie Reese
    Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.
    Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?
    Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?
    You and I don't propose a federal budget. The President does.
    You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.
    You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.
    You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.
    You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.
    One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one President, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.
    I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.
    I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a President to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.
    Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.
    What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits.. ( The President can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.)
    The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House?( John Boehner. He is the leader of the majority party. He and fellow House members, not the President, can approve any budget they want. ) If the President vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to. [The House has passed a budget but the Senate has not approved a budget in over three years. The President's proposed budgets have gotten almost unanimous rejections in the Senate in that time. ]
    It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.
    If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.
    If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red.
    If the Army & Marines are in Iraq and Afghanistan it's because they want them in Iraq and Afghanistan ..
    If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.
    There are no insoluble government problems.
    Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power.
    Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.
    Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible. They, and they alone, have the power.
    They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses. Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees... We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!
    Charlie Reese is a former columnist of the Orlando Sentinel Newspaper.
    What you do with this article now that you have read it... is up to you.
    This might be funny if it weren't so true.
    Be sure to read all the way to the end:
    Tax his land,
    Tax his bed,
    Tax the table,
    At which he's fed.
    Tax his tractor,
    Tax his mule,
    Teach him taxes
    Are the rule.
    Tax his work,
    Tax his pay,
    He works for
    peanuts anyway!
    Tax his cow,
    Tax his goat,
    Tax his pants,
    Tax his coat.
    Tax his ties,
    Tax his shirt,
    Tax his work,
    Tax his dirt.
    Tax his tobacco,
    Tax his drink,
    Tax him if he
    Tries to think.
    Tax his cigars,
    Tax his beers,
    If he cries
    Tax his tears.
    Tax his car,
    Tax his gas,
    Find other ways
    To tax his ass.
    Tax all he has
    Then let him know
    That you won't be done
    Till he has no dough.
    When he screams and hollers;
    Then tax him some more,
    Tax him till
    He's good and sore.
    Then tax his coffin,
    Tax his grave,
    Tax the sod in
    Which he's laid...
    Put these words
    Upon his tomb,
    'Taxes drove me
    to my doom...'
    When he's gone,
    Do not relax,
    Its time to apply
    The inheritance tax.

    Utility Taxes
    Vehicle License Registration Tax
    Vehicle Sales Tax
    Watercraft Registration Tax
    Well Permit Tax
    Workers Compensation Tax
    STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?
    Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, & our nation was the most prosperous in the world. We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.
    What in the heck happened? Can you spell 'politicians?'

    Royal Bank Of Canada

    This is suspect news -- it has not been retracted from Simon Parkes website and it has been up there for hours

    Canada's largest bank collapsed Friday after hours, dropping 64%

    Canada's largest bank, the Royal Bank of Canada or RBC, with $1 trillion in AUM and the largest stock in the TSX, crashed 64% after hours on Friday with no explanation.

    Today, customers en masse were locked out of their RBC accounts and RBC is closed.

    Trudeau and Freeland release the budget tomorrow. Rumours are that RBC is insolvent, has begun seizing customer's bank deposits to stay solvent and that Trudeau and Freeland will bail out RBC (and other banks) with their budget.

    Canada is Collapsing.

    today the Daily Truth Reported the Following:


    President Trump:
    "I can assure you, we will never let 2020 happen ever again"





    Source: https://www.rumble.com/video/vdb6dz/?pub=4


    here is url for reading the video text and comments:

    https://rumble.com/embed/vdb6dz/?pub=4

    Source:
    Welovetrump.com expanded on video:

    President Trump took the stage today at Mar-a-lago and someone covertly grabbed some video.

    If you’ve been waiting to hear some REALLY good news from our President, this is it!

    Here’s short clip:

    “The question I get asked more than any other question is ‘can you assure us that our vote in 2022 and 2024 will count?’… and we will assure you, we’ll never let that happen again – and we haven’t stopped working on that. By the way, we’re not stopping and we have some big things currently in the works…”

    Now the ONLY way he could assure us that our vote will absolutely count in 2022 and 2024 is if he still has an ace up his sleeve to play."

    without any extra-ordinary means of prediction?

    i can assert beyond doubt the following:

    the future WILL HOLD what the People ALLOW


    and NOTHING that remains UNCHALLENGED by the People will be removed

    the Power has ALWAYS been
    and will ALWAYS remain >> that of THE PEOPLE


    it is WHY programs to erode self confidence, demean, undermine are pervasive at EVERY level of society.

    once awareness of this point is achieved? they are easily spotted for their aggression and the subversive sabotage intended

    again, THAT will ONLY continue ... at the WILL of THE PEOPLE

    when the point is reached that THE PEOPLE have had ENOUGH?

    that will be the end of that ..

    Can someone explain why Harris is acting as if she is Pres. while Biden stands behind her like her lap dog? Never mind. That was rhetorical. We know why. She's even using the POTUS podium as if it were her podium.

    PS At about the 1:35 mark she says "Full stop." We know she is reading from a prompter, but geez....
