    Prayers for him obviously, but this is a most odd (and intriguing) incident.

    Something interesting happened before the Ozempic exec collapsed.. President Trump looked directly at RFK Jr and asked him about Ozempic:

    “I haven’t heard anything bad about them, I only hear good about them. Is there anything bad about them Bobby? Some day, maybe it will come out, which we’ll notify you immediately… including the drug known as Ozempic.” They laugh.

    A short time later, the exec collapsed.

    Spooky and disturbing. Any truth to this cloning story? I'm at the stage now, so many years deep in the rabbit-hole, where I cannot imagine being particularly shocked or surprised, no matter the accusation or claim.

    The Cloning Whistleblower

    In 2018, a former Democratic operative named Jeffrey Peterson alleged that top Democrats including Nancy Pelosi were involved in human cloning.

    He overheard Pelosi say that Jeff Bezos is cloning humans on remote islands.

    "He's doing mine" she said.

    Government Kill-Squad rocks up in the middle of the night and slaughters hundreds of healthy Ostriches.

    For no good reason.

    Cross-posted from here. This story needs greater exposure.

    UNIVERSAL OSTRICH FARM WITNESS - FRIEND - VICTIM Nov 6 - Megan Devi
    My heart is broken. Tonight feels like a battle-axe has struck the very soul of humanity.

    After nearly a year of pleading, petitions, protests, and desperate efforts to stop it… the inhumane mass murder at the Universal Ostrich Farm has begun.
    Nearly 400 ostriches are being INHUMANELY killed tonight under the veil of darkness. Shots are heard ringing out and the family and supporters are crying and screaming out for help.

    Desperate sounds I never even knew Ostriches made are heard in the distance.. it is horrific.

    These magnificent, intelligent beings.. healthy, peaceful, and innocent.. are being slaughtered under the false banner of “biosecurity.” These Ostriches were dearly loved by the close-knit family that raised them. Each one had a name, a story, and a bond with the people who lovingly raised them from birth. Many were over 35 years old.

    What makes this even more tragic is that these ostriches held important antibodies, natural immune properties that could have advanced scientific understanding, health research, and natural healing for us and generations to come. Instead of protecting that gift, the government chose destruction.

    The Canadian government and CFIA chose death over truth, bureaucracy over compassion, and silence over science.

    This is more than the death of beautiful, sentient life. It’s a reflection of how far we’ve fallen from the living world that sustains us.

    Canadian government, you have failed us all.

    It is soul crushing to see such sanctioned cruelty and evil carried out in the shadows. It shatters the very trust you were meant to protect.

    This sets a DANGEROUS precedent.. allowing the government to enter private property on mere suspicion and slaughter innocent animals without proper, up-to-date testing or proof of threat.

    They will come for your farms, your pets, and your families next. When governments act without accountability, when life is taken without truth or transparency, no one is safe. What starts with the animals ends with us.. our rights, our voices, and our humanity.

    Rise up. Speak out. Do not look away.

    10pm pst update:
    These ostriches must be absolutely terrified and clearly they are suffering.. its now been hours of hearing shots fired in the dark... over 800 shots counted so far.. each bird clearly being shot multiple times and slowly.. there are documents out that prove shooting is the most inhumane way to put down an Ostrich.. and yet here we are. I read that this has cost over a billion in tax payer dollars. Universal Ostrich Farms fb group will have updates. This is horrific and evil and heartbreaking.

    My deepest sympathies go out to the family and all who supported the farm. I’m so sorry for the pain and trauma this has caused...

    “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:12


    https://x.com/ShareawareCdn/status/1986991401176080689
    ....

    I wonder, are governments around the world in competition with each other for the worst among them -- the most wasteful, evil, ghastly, degenerate, subversive, corrupt, antagonistic, anti-human and parasitical? Wonder who would win that race? From this stunt, Canada rank high on the list.

    This action strikes at the very heart of decency and goodness. It is beyond despicable. A crime against humanity, nature, and God. There needs to be a reckoning for these 'people', these monsters that rule over us. We cannot go on much longer like this.

    After a brutal night dealing with RCMP during the mass slaughter, their front-facing officers are causing problems again today.

    This female officer was seen playing on her phone, pointing and laughing in front of supporters who were grieving.

    She was asked to stop but continued. People got understandably heated and she was eventually removed, at least temporarily, from the front line.

    The CULL Is Complete The Ostriches Are GONE The CFIA SHOT & KILLED THEM All In The Dead Of The Night

    The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says it has shot dead all ostriches at a British Columbia farm and is moving to the disposal phase of the operation to fulfil a 10-month-old cull order over an “avian flu” outbreak.

    In this video Dan Dicks of Press For Truth continues his coverage of the fall of Canada with the attack on farms, food and private property.

    EVERYONE should hear this rugged long-time British Columbia farmer after his 350 ostriches were slaughtered by Ottawa last night.
    I spent time with Dave and his co-owner Karen Espersen last May at the farm and I can vouch for them as gracious and decent people who were running a research project with birds that were NOT used for food.
    I simply cannot get over this violent assault on justice and common sense IMPOSED BY THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT.

    Senate reaches deal to extend government funding in major sign shutdown is poised to end

    A critical group of at least eight Senate Democratic centrists has reached a deal with Senate GOP leaders and the White House to reopen the government in exchange for a future vote on extending enhanced Affordable Care subsidies, according to two people familiar with the discussions — even as the rest of their party has openly pilloried the deal.

    The deal — which would finally end the longest shutdown in US history — would include a new stopgap measure to extend government funding until January and be tied to a larger package to fully fund several key agencies.

    It includes no guarantee from Republicans to extend the health care subsidies that have been at the heart of the funding fight, but Democrats involved in the talks believe that House and Senate GOP leaders will negotiate on a compromise in the coming weeks. It is unclear whether that bill would pass the Senate, let alone make it to the House floor.

    The Senate is expected to vote on the deal beginning between 8:30 and 9 p.m. ET Sunday, according to a GOP aide.

    At least eight Senate Democrats have agreed to vote for the deal, which was brokered Sunday night between three former governors — Sens. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, Angus King of Maine and Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire — along with Senate Majority Leader John Thune and the White House.

    One of those Democrats is Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia, who represents thousands of federal workers in the state and who said he supports the GOP’s promise for a future vote on the subsidies.

    “Lawmakers know their constituents expect them to vote for it, and if they don’t, they could very well be replaced at the ballot box by someone who will,” Kaine said of GOP senators who choose not to support extending the subsidies.

    And importantly for Kaine, Democrats also secured an agreement from the White House to reverse its mass firings of federal workers during the shutdown, as well as protections against them happening the rest of this fiscal year. It also guarantees all federal workers will be paid for time during shutdown.

    All Air Traffic Controllers must get back to work, NOW!!! Anyone who doesn’t will be substantially “docked.” For those Air Traffic Controllers who were GREAT PATRIOTS, and didn’t take ANY TIME OFF for the “Democrat Shutdown Hoax,” I will be recommending a BONUS of $10,000 per person for distinguished service to our Country. For those that did nothing but complain, and took time off, even though everyone knew they would be paid, IN FULL, shortly into the future, I am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU. You didn’t step up to help the U.S.A. against the FAKE DEMOCRAT ATTACK that was only meant to hurt our Country. You will have a negative mark, at least in my mind, against your record. If you want to leave service in the near future, please do not hesitate to do so, with NO payment or severance of any kind! You will be quickly replaced by true Patriots, who will do a better job on the Brand New State of the Art Equipment, the best in the World, that we are in the process of ordering. The last “Administration” wasted Billions of Dollars trying to fix antiquated “junk.” They had no idea what they were doing! Again, to our great American Patriots, GOD BLESS YOU - I won’t be able to send your money fast enough! To all others, REPORT TO WORK IMMEDIATELY. GOD BLESS AMERICA! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

    The UK has just ruled it will not release the mortality statistics it has on deaths by COVID vaccination status because of the distress the data would cause
    https://x.com/toobaffled/status/1986936327854825575

    ONS data shows. April to December 2021 79% of covid deaths were vaccinated. 2022 90%. January to May 2023 94%. After that they stopped publishing the data, obviously because it did not look good for the vaccinated. Note. 1) Those vaccinated less than 21 days were counted as unvaccinated. 2) The majority of vaccinated deaths were those with the most vaccine doses.

    I have no doubt but that those statistics would cause distress ... to the government and medical establishments of the UK.

    ‘Golden Pegasus’ — Russian astronomers capture video of MAJOR solar flare

    Today’s X5.16-class solar flare is the strongest since October 2024

    While effects of solar flares on health are disputed, they can jam radio comms – which it did across Europe and Africa

    Major Solar Flare (X5.1) + Bright CME, Radiation Storm

    November 11, 2025 @ 10:15 UTC (UPDATED)BANG! The 6th strongest solar flare of the current solar cycle in terms of peak X-Ray flux, but possibly the most energetic, was detected around AR 4274 peaking at 10:04 UTC (Nov 11). The event reached X5.1 with a wide area of coronal dimming already evident and a bright Earth directed halo CME is heading our way. Energetic proton levels are also on the rise following the flare and a radiation storm warning is now in effect. This event will likely prolong an already expected geomagnetic storm and could push it to the Severe (G4) threshold in the days ahead. Stay tuned for the latest updates. #SpaceWeather

    Turkey’s defense ministry says a Turkish military cargo plane crashed near the Azerbaijan-Georgia border on Tuesday.

    The ministry said on X that the C-130 plane had taken off from Azerbaijan and was on its way back to Turkey.

    It was not clear how many crew were on board the aircraft.

    A search and rescue operation has been launched in coordination with Azerbaijani and Georgian authorities, the ministry said.

    C-130 military cargo planes are widely used by Turkey’s armed forces for transporting personnel and handling logistical operations.

    Turkey and Azerbaijan maintain close military cooperation.

    The Turkish Air Force C-130H (TUAF543 reg 68-01609) that crashed in Georgia, while returning from Ganja Air Base, Azerbaijan.

    I guess transponders were switched off over Georgia, crashed later.

    That looks to me like a flat spin - very difficult to get out of:

    Flat spin, as explained by Duck Duck Go:
    The flight condition you are describing, where a plane is falling straight down while remaining wings level and rotating about its vertical axis, is known as a flat spin. In a flat spin, the aircraft's center of gravity is typically too far aft, causing the aircraft to adopt a near-level attitude while spinning. This results in minimal airflow over the control surfaces, drastically reducing their effectiveness and making recovery extremely difficult, if not impossible, in many aircraft.

    Good description of a flat spin, but this is the wing assembly falling after an in-flight breakup.

    The forward fuselage is seen falling nearby, while the rear fuselage including the tail feathers does not appear.

    Major Chinese bridge collapses into river just months after opening to traffic



    A massive bridge at a hydropower station in southwest China collapsed Tuesday, sending concrete and steel plunging into a river just months after it opened, according to Chinese state media.

    Reuters reported that an official from Barkam County confirmed the collapse to the Chinese state-run Global Times, saying no casualties had been reported.

    The report added that cracks were detected a day earlier on the bridge’s road surface and slope, prompting authorities to impose temporary traffic controls.

    Footage of the collapse, shared widely on Chinese social media, showed the Hongqi Bridge in Sichuan Province buckling before falling into the river below, kicking up a massive cloud of dust.



    The incident occurred around 3 p.m. local time near the G317 national highway, according to China Central Television (CCTV) News.

    Local transportation and public security bureaus said the right-bank slope of the bridge showed signs of deformation Monday afternoon, just hours before the collapse.

    Authorities quickly shut down the structure to all traffic and issued a public notice warning of potential safety risks.



    According to Times Now, the Hongqi Bridge was located in Sichuan Province’s mountainous Maerkang area and completed earlier this year as part of the G317 national highway—an important route connecting central China to Tibet.

    The 758-meter-long, cantilevered two-lane beam bridge stood roughly 625 meters above the gorge floor, with piers reaching up to 172 meters in height. It was built by the state-backed Sichuan Road & Bridge Group as part of efforts to expand access to the Tibetan Plateau.



    The bridge’s construction was part of a broader government push to improve connectivity and spur economic growth across western China’s rugged terrain, Times Now reported.

    It was intended to serve as a symbol of the country’s infrastructure ambitions but had only reopened to traffic a few months before the collapse—marking a short-lived chapter for what was meant to showcase China’s engineering progress.

    State-run outlets have not yet identified the cause of the collapse, though early assessments suggest geological instability may have played a role. No vehicles or pedestrians were on the bridge at the time, officials said, and investigations are underway.

    Tourists ‘paid £70,000’ to shoot innocent people in ‘human safari’ hunting trips to Sarajevo


    The siege of Sarajevo was watched by the West with horror in the early 1990s, as Serb-Bosnian militants shot at innocent civilians in ‘human safaris’.
    More than 30 years later, prosecutors in Milan have opened an investigation into Italian tourists who are accused of paying £70,000 to join this ‘human safari’, shooting and killing innocent Bosnians.
    Prosecutors allege these ‘tourists’, many of whom had ties to far-right circles, paid the Bosnian Serb army for weekend trips to Sarajevo, where they shot from rooftops at the city below.
    They paid an additional fee to kill children with the sniper rifles, according to the court filing.
    The shooting in the city was so bad that two main streets, Ulica Zmaja od Bosne and Meša Selimović Boulevard, were dubbed ‘sniper alley’.



    Milan-based writer and journalist Ezio Gavazzeni said: ‘We are talking about wealthy people, with reputations – businessmen – who during the siege of Sarajevo paid to kill unarmed civilians.
    ‘They left Trieste for a manhunt and then returned to their respectable daily lives,’ he alleged.

    There could be more than 100 ‘tourists’ who jetted off to the warzone and may be called to give evidence in the trial.
    There are also allegations that Bosnian intelligence had proof of Italians in the hills surrounding Sarajevo.
    The Bosnian consul in Milan, Dag Dumrukcic, told la Repubblica: ‘We are eager to uncover the truth about such a cruel matter and settle accounts with the past. I am aware of some information that I will contribute to the investigation.’



    During the siege, Sarajevo’s electric, gas and water supplies were cut off – leaving those within the city with no access to vital infrastructure.


    Former Bosnian Serb political leader Radovan Karadzic and the commander of the Bosnian Serb Army’s Sarajevo-Romanija Corps, Stanislav Galic, were both found guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity at the Hague over the attack.
    Both were eventually handed sentences of life imprisonment. Karadzic is serving his sentence in the UK, while Galic was taken to Germany.
    The siege ended in 1995, leaving 13,952 people dead. 5,434 of these casualties were civilians.

    Is every mind connected to form a peer to peer network that creates the illusion of a shared reality, making the appearance of material reality a simulation created through shared beliefs?

    I don't know anything about the Metro and I'm not saying it's propaganda, yet, but why did they have to throw in the "far-right" connection? Truly horrifying otherwise and I wouldn't doubt it in the least.
