Ten Big Losers that Weren’t on the Ballot – Joe Strader 11/6/24

Source: AmericanThinker.com

Yes, the Democrats lost, but it was much bigger than that. There are other important losses that will impact future elections.

1. Lawfare proved impotent in taking out a candidate. In fact, every new iteration of lawfare dug the losing hole deeper. All of the accusations, show trials, and prosecutorial misconduct were for naught. For the cases that remain open, the next 75 days will be interesting.

2. Name-calling lost. Almost every political slur possible was thrown at now-President-elect Trump, and none of them stuck. Name-calling only works if true.

How the Democrats and Media Finally Went Too Far – Frank Miele 11/4/24

The reelection of Donald Trump would represent, if not the single greatest comeback in political history, certainly the largest middle finger ever shown to the smug, self-centered, superior-minded elitists who think the rest of us are garbage.

Of course, we didn’t need President Biden to call us “garbage” for everyday Americans to know that what we care about means nothing to the establishment. But Biden obliged anyway, and put an exclamation point to the final sorry week of Kamala Harris’ galling campaign.

American Pravda: The Total Madness of the State of Israel – Ron Unz 10/21/24

I’ve often suggested that our media functions as a powerful tool of mind-control, not too dissimilar from what might be found in the plotlines of classic science fiction. After spending weeks or months immersed in such a controlling narrative, thinking independent thoughts let alone completely breaking free becomes a very difficult undertaking. For most individuals, the whisper in the back of their skulls overwhelms their logical reasoning, while their emotional reactions are turned on or off as if by a switch.

No wonder we’re restless, teetering on the edge, frustrated by our addictions to fakery and excess, starved for what cannot be marketed or made profitable, so it no longer exists except in the shadows.

Everything is staged, and therefore fake. Given the near-zero cost of posting content in the digital world, everyone discovered that staging wasn’t limited to high-end political events, parades and Hollywood sets; since all the world’s a stage, everything could be staged, from every selfie on social media to every video on YouTube to every public display.

Did Big Tobacco Create the Processed Food Industry? – Dr. Joseph Mercola 9/17/24

Source: ChildrensHealthDefense.org

Story at a glance:

  • Big Tobacco companies like Philip Morris and R.J. Reynolds strategically acquired major food companies in the 1980s, dominating the U.S. food system for over 20 years and shaping processed food formulations.
  • Tobacco-owned foods were more likely to be “hyper-palatable,” engineered with specific combinations of fat, sugar, salt and carbohydrates that excessively activate brain reward circuits, leading to addictive-like eating behaviors.
  • While the processed food industry predates Big Tobacco’s involvement, tobacco companies applied their expertise in flavor enhancement and marketing strategies to food products, influencing the broader industry.
  • Tobacco companies also shaped the sugary drinks market, developing and marketing popular children’s beverages like Hawaiian Punch, Kool-Aid and Capri Sun using tactics like cigarette advertising.
  • The tobacco industry’s influence on food formulation and marketing persists today, with researchers arguing that the current food environment is like the unregulated tobacco landscape of the 1950s….

PayPal’s New Ad Move: Power Play or Privacy Overreach? – Ken Macon 10/15/24

Source: ReclaimTheNet.org

PayPal has recently launched PayPal Ads, a new venture into the digital advertising space under the leadership of Mark Grether, a veteran from Uber and Amazon. The program raises concerns as it capitalizes on its access to extensive user transaction data, which includes data from not only PayPal itself but also Venmo and the shopping tool Honey. This approach involves analyzing the financial transactions of its 400 million active users in the US who still use the service, sparking skepticism about the ethical implications of such deep data mining for advertising purposes.

In an interview with ADWEEK, Grether boasted about the unprecedented scale of transaction data available to PayPal, which exceeds what any single retailer could accumulate. Such statements highlight the vast scope of personal financial information PayPal plans to utilize, underlying potential privacy concerns for consumers who may not fully realize how their purchasing data is being commoditized….

Ad-Blocking Showdown: Google Forces Popular Ad-Blocker Off Chrome – Rick Findlay 10/16/24

Source: ReclaimTheNet.org

Google has initiated the discontinuation of support for uBlock Origin, the popular ad-tracking blocker, in Chrome. The migration to Manifest V3—a new extension framework believed to reduce the effectiveness of certain ad blockers—is the underlying cause and is seen as part of Google’s big move against ad and tracking blocks. Developer Raymond Hill highlighted this shift by sharing a screenshot depicting Chrome automatically disabling uBlock Origin due to incompatibility with the upcoming regulations.

To circumnavigate these limitations, Hill has developed uBlock Origin Lite, which conforms to the Manifest V3 guidelines, though it needs to be installed manually because, as Hill points out in a GitHub FAQ, the differences between the original and the Lite versions are too significant for an automatic update….

Update (1745ET): After journalist Chris Rufo relayed the results of an in-depth analysis proving that Kamala Harris plagiarized ‘at least a dozen’ sections of her book on crime, the NY Times scrambled into damage control mode. First, they framed it as ‘conservative notices.’

They then completely lied about Rufo’s reporting. So of course, Rufo hit back.

With the assassination of Sayed Hassan Nasrallah and a number of the Hizbullah senior leadership in Beirut – expressly without prior warning being given to the Pentagon – Netanyahu fired the start gun on an implicit Israeli widening of war to – using Israel’s term – the ‘octopus’ tentacles’: Hizbullah in Lebanon; Ansarullah in Yemen; the Syrian government and the Iraqi Hash’ad A-Shaabi forces.

How Significant Is The US’ THAAD Deployment To Israel? – Andrew Korybko 10/14/24

Something big is coming, and whatever it is, there’s now a heightened chance that the US will become directly involved.

The Pentagon confirmed that it’ll dispatch nearly 100 troops to Israel to operate one of its premier air defense systems, the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), of which it only has seven in total. This comes ahead of Israel’s expected retaliation to Iran’s latest missile strike on the first of the month that it carried out to restore deterrence after the assassination of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran and Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut. Here’s what this latest US move signifies:

What Would WWIII Really Look Like? Don’t Expect Nukes… – Brandon Smith 9/3/24

One of the most common assumptions I come across in the survival-sphere is the idea that the next world war would automatically necessitate global nuclear conflict.  In other words, a lot of people assume we aren’t in a world war until the nukes start flying.  This is a dangerous misunderstanding for a lot of reasons.  What they are overlooking is the fact that we are ALREADY in the middle of WWIII.  These people don’t realize it because they’ve based their entire image of world war on Hollywood fantasy.
