    Its a bit of old news, since it was already on its way, and it surely hasn't been "breaking" in the MSM, but it is a unfortunate culmination of something from my point of view.

    The spanish law bulletin officially approves (as always under the radar) the use of crickets in basically any prepared food.

    Ye vill it ze crickets.

    Source in spanish because its official.

    HARD TRUTHS ABOUT DEVOLUTION & “THE PLAN” – GENERAL FLYNN INTERVIEW
    January 7, 2023
    https://forbiddenknowledgetv.net/har...ynn-interview/

    https://rumble.com/v2419nu-the-hard-...interview.html

    "Lt Gen Mike Flynn goes on the record about “QAnon”, in response to questioning by Seth Holehouse and he is quite irate at the stupidity of it. He even goes as far as to say that Q may as well be a PSYOP concocted by America-hating Libtards, like Ron Filipkowski, who he describes as “dirtball”.

    Of Q followers, Flynn says, “We’re in big trouble with people who still believe in this crap.” As for the vaunted “Plan” that Q followers are always telling us to “Trust,” looking around at the Biden Regime, the war in Ukraine, the open borders, the precipitous state of the economy, he says, “The Plan sucks!”

    Because “The Plan”, as far as he can tell is the World Economic Forum’s plan for programmable Central Bank Digital Currencies that control what you can and cannot buy, based on your “carbon footprint”, which is not a conspiracy theory, it is actually in the pilot phases, as we speak.

    All of these Big Tech platforms, that have de-platformed millions of users over their truth-telling and/or non-Leftist political views are also developing payment systems and CBDCs. Facebook/Meta has Diem (formerly Libra), Twitter has Block (formerly Square), there’s Google Pay and Amazon Pay.

    Let’s not forget that PayPal, Chase, VISA and Patreon started de-banking people over their non-Leftist politics years ago.

    Flynn is very concerned about our rapid loss of rights over the past 3 years, saying, “There’s no White Hat cavalry that’s gonna [save us]…the main thing is to get involved. I’m involved at the local level. I joined my county Republican executive committee, I’m trying to make sure that I go to the meetings and if I see something that I don’t like, I’m gonna work to change it. I volunteered to be a poll greeter and a poll watcher…I feel like I have to put my words into action and that’s kinda what I’m doing.”

    Local action is the antidote to hopium.

    Back in the mid-1990s, I took the all Landmark Forum courses. One of the things we learned was that, in order to attain fulfillment, we had to “give up hope” and become “hopeless”.

    This may sound oxymoronic but it is quite the opposite, due to a general misperception about what hope actually is.

    Having hope is a state of imaginary satisfaction about something happening in the future that is not happening now. Corollary to this idea is that an addiction to the dopamine hits provided by hopium can interfere with taking the necessary actions to create the conditions for true fulfillment.

    Commitment is also a largely misunderstood concept. It’s often characterized as a “ball-and-chain”, when it is actually the key to fulfillment, when properly applied.

    Wanting something is very different from being committed to having it – which means ongoingly doing whatever it takes to have it.

    Our lives are a reflection of our commitments, regardless of whether or not we have identified what our commitments are, because the conditions of our lives reflect our repeated actions, which are a form of commitment.

    So it’s important to be clear about what we’re committed to having, rather than just wishing we had it.

    By giving up hope, we stop sitting on our hands and we begin to ongoingly take the necessary steps to create those conditions that we’re committed to having in our lives."

    That is a very important observation to understand. I've tried to make this point, but not as well as this.

    Tread carefully with that one, and careful what you wish for.

    And be even more careful with what you cherish, and will eventually die with and for.

    But yea, go for it, and secure all you want, as long as it isn't a subtractive deal from what ultimately matters.

    BREAKING: New docs leak Biden admin pushes facebook to censor Tucker; McCarthy Update; Brazil Chaos

    "After the longest Speaker's race in 164 years - in the 15th round of voting - Kevin McCarthy finally got the votes he needed to become the 118th Speaker.

    While Tucker Carlson says that Kevin McCarthy's experience in the race for the House speakership is what democracy was meant to be, now new emails expose that Biden's director of digital strategy was pressuring Facebook to censor him.

    Nebraska Republican U.S. Senator Ben Sasse officially resigned, and the state's governor will name a successor to replace Sasse in the Senate for the next two years.

    Over the weekend, thousands of protesters, in support of Brazilian President, Jair Bolsonaro, staged a major protest to question the results of last October's election. "

    Biden Officials ‘Relentless’ in Pressuring Social Media Companies to Censor COVID Content

    Biden Officials ‘Relentless’ in Pressuring Social Media Companies to Censor COVID Content
    01/10/23
    By The Defender Staff
    https://childrenshealthdefense.org/d...a-fbc33a92a86f

    (Lots of hyperlinks embedded in the article that are not embedded here.)

    "The authors of a Wall Street Journal op-ed published Sunday called out the “relentless, coercive pressure” the White House put on social media companies to censor COVID-19-related information that contradicted the government and mainstream media narrative.
    The authors of a Wall Street Journal op-ed published Sunday called out the “relentless, coercive pressure” the White House put on social media companies to censor COVID-19-related information that contradicted the government and mainstream media narrative.

    Jenin Younes and Dr. Aaron Kheriaty detailed key parts of an email exchange between Robert Flaherty, the White House’s director of digital strategy and social media executives.

    The emails emerged Jan. 6 in the discovery phase of Missouri v. Biden, a free-speech lawsuit brought by the attorneys general of Missouri and Louisiana and four private plaintiffs represented by the New Civil Liberties Alliance.

    Younes is litigation counsel at the New Civil Liberties Alliance and represents the private plaintiffs in Missouri v. Biden. Kheriaty is a psychiatrist and author of three books, a senior scholar at the Brownstone Institute, a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and one of the plaintiffs.

    The emails are the latest in a slew of evidence — made public through lawsuits, Freedom of Information Act requests and the “Twitter files” — that emerged in the last few months exposing “a sprawling censorship regime involving the White House, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI and other agencies.”

    This included targeting tweets by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., chairman and chief litigation counsel of Children’s Health Defense, conservative commentator Tucker Carlson and others.

    In their op-ed, Younes and Kheriaty cited the text of emails between Flaherty and a Facebook executive. Flaherty accuses Facebook of being “one of the top drivers of vaccine hesitancy” and demands to know how the social media platform is working to change this on Facebook and WhatsApp.

    Facebook responded with an extensive list of policy changes, including “removing vaccine misinformation,” “reducing the virality of content discouraging vaccines that does not contain actionable misinformation” and removing accounts “sensationalizing” what they acknowledged was “often true content.”

    Unsatisfied with the results, Flaherty continued to pressure Facebook:

    “Mr. Flaherty pressed the executive about why ‘the top post about vaccines today’ is Tucker Carlson ‘saying they don’t work’: ‘I want to know what ‘Reduction’ actually looks like,’ he said. The exec responded: ‘Running this down now.”

    The documents reveal that Flaherty “also strong-armed Google in April 2021, accusing YouTube (which it owns) of ‘funneling’ people into vaccine hesitancy. He said this concern was ‘shared at the highest (and I mean the highest) levels of the WH,’ and required ‘more work to be done.’”

    Younes and Kheriaty also pointed out that President Biden, then-press secretary Jen Psaki and Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy publicly vowed to hold the platforms accountable if they didn’t heighten censorship.

    They wrote:

    “On July 16, 2021, a reporter asked Mr. Biden his ‘message to platforms like Facebook.’ He replied, ‘They’re killing people.’ Mr. Biden later claimed he meant users, not platforms, were killing people. But the record shows Facebook itself was the target of the White House’s pressure campaign.”

    According to Younes and Kheriaty, the recently uncovered emails establish a clear pattern of the White House, represented by Flaherty, expressing anger at the companies’ failure to satisfactorily censor COVID-19 content. The companies changed their policies in response to his demands.

    “As a result of that unconstitutional state action, Americans were given the false impression of a scientific ‘consensus’ on critically important issues around Covid-19,” the authors of the op-ed wrote. “A reckoning for the government’s unlawful, deceptive and dangerous conduct is under way in court.”

    The White House Covid Censorship Machine
    Newly released emails show how officials coerce social-media companies to toe the government line.
    By Jenin Younes and Aaron Kheriaty
    Jan. 8, 2023
    https://www.wsj.com/articles/white-h...le-11673203704
    "Newly released documents show that the White House has played a major role in censoring Americans on social media. Email exchanges between Rob Flaherty, the White House’s director of digital media, and social-media executives prove the companies put Covid censorship policies in place in response to relentless, coercive pressure from the White House—not voluntarily. The emails emerged Jan. 6 in the discovery phase of Missouri v. Biden, a free-speech case brought by the attorneys general of Missouri and Louisiana and four private plaintiffs represented by the New Civil Liberties Alliance.

    On March 14, 2021, Mr. Flaherty emailed a Facebook executive (whose name we’ve redacted as a courtesy) with the subject line “You are hiding the ball” and a link to a Washington Post article about Facebook’s own research into “the spread of ideas that contribute to vaccine hesitancy,” as the paper put it. “I think there is a misunderstanding,” the executive wrote back. “I don’t think this is a misunderstanding,” Mr. Flaherty replied. “We are gravely concerned that your service is one of the top drivers of vaccine hesitancy—period. . . . We want to know that you’re trying, we want to know how we can help, and we want to know that you’re not playing a shell game. . . . This would all be a lot easier if you would just be straight with us.”

    Major FAA outage halts all domestic flight departures in the U.S.
    The Federal Aviation Administration said it had "ordered airlines to pause all domestic departures until 9 a.m. Eastern Time to allow the agency to validate the integrity of flight and safety information."

    https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...tage-rcna65243

    Departing flights across the United States were grounded Wednesday morning after the Federal Aviation Administration said it had experienced a computer outage.

    The FAA said later that it had ordered all airlines to pause domestic departures until 9 a.m. ET.

    More than 4,000 flights within, to and out of the U.S. were delayed as of around 9:00 a.m. Wednesday, according to the online flight tracker FlightAware. Nearly 700 flights were listed as canceled.

    The FAA said on its website that its Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) system had “failed.” NOTAM contains information essential to workers involved in flight operations.

    "Operations across the National Airspace System are affected," the agency said in a statement.

    In an update posted to Twitter just before 7:20 a.m., the FAA said it was ordering airlines to pause all domestic departures until 9 a.m. ET "to allow the agency to validate the integrity of flight and safety information." It said it was still working to fully restore the NOTAM system.

    In subsequent updates, it said that all flights in the sky were safe to land and that departures had resumed in some places "due to air traffic congestion."

    "Pilots check the NOTAM system before they fly. A Notice to Air Missions alerts pilots about closed runways, equipment outages, and other potential hazards along a flight route or at a location that could affect the flight," the agency said.

    Just after 8:10 a.m., it said departures had resumed at two airports, Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, due to air traffic congestion.

    White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a tweet that there was "no evidence of a cyberattack at this point," and added that President Joe Biden had directed the Department of Transportation to conduct a full investigation into the causes. She added: “The FAA will provide regular updates.”

    Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said in a tweet that he had "been in touch with FAA this morning about an outage affecting a key system for providing safety information to pilots."

    "FAA is working to resolve this issue swiftly and safely so that air traffic can resume normal operations, and will continue to provide updates," he said.

    United Airlines said it had temporarily delayed all domestic flights until at least 10 a.m. The airline said it would issue an update when it learned more from the FAA about the situation.

    Southwest Airlines said it was "closely monitoring" the situation and that it "may impact the start of operations" Wednesday.

    "An FAA system outage is causing ground stops at AUS and other airports across the country," the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport said in a tweet.

    "Arriving & departing passengers can expect delays this morning & through the day," it said, adding: "Please stay in contact with your airline & check your flight status before heading to AUS."

    The news came after a number of social media users said they had been affected by the situation. It also appeared to have affected some flights into the U.S.

    A number of airports outside the U.S. said operations were continuing as normal, but the international airport operator Aéroports de Paris, or Airports of Paris, said all flights by American airline companies would be delayed until further notice. It said non-American airlines were flying out as normal without interruption.

    Air France said all of its U.S.-bound flights were operating as planned and were not affected by the FAA computer outage. The airline said it continued to monitor the situation.

    "As far as we are aware, we are still operating to/from the U.S. at the moment," a spokesperson for Gatwick Airport in London said.

    A spokesperson for Frankfurt Airport in Germany said the FAA outage had not affected its operations.

    The talk of banning gas stoves - what is this really about?

    I was wondering how they were going to get control over the housing market to support "you will own nothing and you will be happy". Well, maybe this is a small beginning to their strategy.

    The "green" agenda might be their plan to manipulate everything against the public. If they make gas stoves a threat to our lives, then so too will be gas furnaces.

    So how do we keep our stoves and furnaces? Perhaps they will bring about so many restrictions and bring about "green" laws that the average person will have to continue to buy things to modify and protect themselves from all of the harmful "un-green" evil stuff in our lives. They could inundate us with so many costs to our homes (all to keep us safe, right?) that it will become too expensive to own your home.

    Real-estate is already over priced so that stops new home owners from purchasing. Then you create laws to push out those who own their home outright. Regardless how small it is, they could force enough "green" modifications onto a home to break a person's bank account. Or, let the government take control of your home and you can get a huge cash break on the modifications required to be "green".

    I hope I am wrong.

    "Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin signed a memorandum formally rescinding the military's vaccine mandate, which has been in place for more than a year.

    The House Oversight Committee is opening investigations into Joe Biden’s handling of classified records from his time as vice president and into Biden and his son Hunter Biden, as well as the social media companies, who, before the 2020 election, suppressed negative stories about the Hunter Biden laptop scandal.

    Richard Trumka Jr, the head of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, says that the CPSC is likely to set emission standards, for gas ranges, in the winter of 2023. And that they may even ban them because they are a “ hidden hazard." "

    This may sound overly dramatic, but banning gas stoves would, over time and in various way, facilitate starvation. Save your wood furniture! 🤣
    I would love to know the pollution factor of hundreds of private jets at the upcoming bm (big meeting). 😊

    Gas stoves cause cardiac events apparently. But needless to say this is disingenuous. There are at least two birds to kill with this stone, 1) reduce gas consumption revenue and 2) blame anything but the you-know-what for cardiac events.

    They didn't like that gas pipeline, and claimed it was destroyed by you-know-who. People don't actually care about you-know-who but we do like to cook our dinner.

    Jacinda Ardern resigns as New Zealand Prime Minister

    Quote New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is resigning.

    Her final day in office will be on 7 February - and a general election has been called for 14 October.

    Ms Ardern, who became New Zealand's prime minister in 2017, said: "I believe that leading a country is the most privileged job anyone could ever have, but also one of the more challenging.

    "You cannot, and should not do it, unless you have a full tank, plus a bit in reserve for those unexpected challenges.

    "This summer I had hoped to find a way to prepare not just for another year, but for another term, because that is what this year requires.

    "I have not been able to do that."

    Choking back tears, she continued: "And so today I'm announcing that I will not be seeking reelection, and that my term as prime minister will conclude no later than 7 February."

    I could be wrong, and no doubt many are elated by the news, but I believe the video is photoshopped. I suspect it is actually a sport event people are reacting to. There are several clues.

    I don’t doubt the news is true. My point is that the video of the people jumping for joy were doing so for a different reason.

    Yep, the video is a fake. But be that as it may.

    I am afraid I do not get too exited anymore when puppets resign or are taken down, there is always a replacement to keep the systemic agenda going, the oppressive control policies keep rolling out no matter who is Prime Minister/President. Those people are just figureheads to keep the masses focused on blaming someone identifiable, and hoping that if only that bad puppet would go, things will improve. They wont. Not until there is a systemic change, and the catalyst for systemic change will never be a person or political group - it will happen prompted by complete breakdown in the system itself. IMO, FWIW.
