Morning,

A feeling of Déjà vu hit me this evening. 2020 the first feedback from the government was everything is fine, under control, just trust the experts. Oh we need to make a few restrictions, slight inconveniences for a few days, then a few week, eventually 3 years and some changes still in place.

A Few Snippets and Some Music

It’s just a few days past the first year anniversary of my father’s death. So I’m kinda sad and out of it. And then there’s all the crap Trump and his gang of a&&holes are doing towards WWIII. Good distraction from the Epstein stuff, right?

Ron Placone wrote a bit about this:

So, not only is WWIII a possibility, but now would probably be the easiest time, at least in all of the moments I’ve occupied this earth, for them to get away with such a thing. I just don’t see the country that can’t even have unanimous agreement that pedophilia is bad, and as of the writing of this has made zero arrests via the Epstein Files, somehow unite to stop a war.

Speaking of the Epstein Files, keep speaking of the Epstein Files, because that’s what they’re trying to distract you from.

Stuff is still happening with respect to the Epstein files, it’s just that so many have turned away from learning, reporting, thinking about them. But still… Really American notes that ‘Republicans Joined Democrats to Subpeona Pam Bondi in the Epstein Case’ . So there’s that, at least.

What sticks

The Israeli information blackout serves to keep Battleground Damage Assessment (BDA) from helping Iran with target choices. It's a sound war policy but in this day and age satellite and drone footage gives remarkable damage assessments and cannot be stopped.
