Thanks for doing double duty EL.

So if you think Bucha was a false flag, and you say so, you'll be disappeared. As I suggested earlier Syria 2.0

Gonzalo weighs in too

So in a "free" society we imprison those that reveal our war crimes, and disappear those that don't spout the narrative. What a shit hole country we've become.

@Lookout

doubles. It seems that my wife does too and thinks it would be a profoundly bad idea for me to resume so doing. That's my excuse, at any rate.

FAKE/FACT dice display is cool. Can we/ will we ever know the truth about much of history? I seriously doubt it. Oddly enough it isn't temporal distance that is the problem so much as the ability of our kind to fabricate facts and realities.

So, in case I don't get to and through the video, Degas painting has a new (what??) - I hate those truncated ledes.

be well and have a good one

Biden family is pretty close to being the same.

The Secret Service is spending more than $30,000 each month renting out a Malibu mansion in California to protect President Biden’s son Hunter Biden, according to a new report by ABC News.

Hunter Biden, who is under federal investigation for his foreign business dealings, has been staying in Malibu throughout his father’s presidency, spending $20,000 of his own wealth each month to rent out a mansion, according to the report. The Secret Service, the agency responsible for protecting the president and his family, spends even more money per month on a mansion nearby to protect him.

Sources told ABC News the Secret Service chose the mansion, where a team of agents live and work, to be as close as possible to Hunter Biden.

“Due to the need to maintain operational security, the U.S. Secret Service does not comment on the means, methods or resources to conduct our protective operations,” the Secret Service wrote to The Hill in an email when asked to confirm the report.

This report comes as the investigation into Hunter Biden intensifies.

The White House repeatedly refused on Friday to rule out the possibility that President Joe Biden could pardon his son Hunter Biden or brother James Biden if suspected financial crimes related to business dealings in China are proven in court, despite questions from multiple journalists and a growing volume of articles on the subject.

“That’s not a hypothetical I’m going to entertain,” White House communications director Kate Bedingfield told a room full of journalists after she was asked whether the president had considered a pardon for his son Hunter or brother James, both of whom are being investigated for financial impropriety regarding a business deal with Chinese firm CEFC China Energy.
