New info on the Trump assassination attempt
This is a new video showing Crooks was shot as Trump continued to speak. It is a 4 minute segment from CBS News.

I watched the whole thing, kinda regret it now.
I don't understand what the significant takeaway is.
Also, WTF was the goddamn TSA doing there?!?
In the Land of the Blind, the One-Eyed Man is declared mentally ill for describing colors.
Yes Virginia, there is a Global Banking Conspiracy!
The takeaway is
that Crooks was shot before Trump was, a more visual proof there was a second shooter.
Reports out last night and this morning suggest part of the video was doctored, so the more we think we know, the less we know.
That's America!

I did not see that in that video.
Maybe the problem is mine, but would you mind at least trying to point me to a time-stamp where the important part that reveals that is?

I am not tech savvy enough.
I think I watched it with real time Trump speech ongoing after the guy was "killed".
Sorry.
Lots of speculation that the guy taking the video got goofed up when he uploaded it, or some such. In other words, it may be intentionally or unintentionally altered.
I was amazed MSM would ever post something like this.

In the geopolitical/financial world olympics games
.
Gay Paree indeed.
It appears US and EU will not be bringing home gold or silver medals this time around.
EU are losing participants while BRICS absorb their losses. This momentum will continue
until the US/EU team either fall on their swords or join the tableau. Malaysia is the latest
to jump the sinking western ship. Hungary and Italy are leaning over the rail. Doubt the
sanction/regime change game is going to work with Venezuela. Mexico already sees the
finish line. Will Canada be next?
Thanks for the Big Maybelle!

"Mexico already sees the finish line. Will Canada be next?"
Call me slow, but what do you mean by these?

The reference pertains to stories

On how the economies of first Mexico and now Canada are reaching out to China
for investment opportunities. EU/US are heading the other way with trade blocks
and sanctions.

Below is a Danny Haiphong
interview with Scott Ritter and Dan Kovolic, approx. 21 minutes.
Hear the phrase "The Final Solution" being tossed out.

Interesting take on the
value of JD Vance to the Trump ticket.
Due Dissidence, approx. 14 minutes. Starting at about the 8 minute mark, some interesting stuff about invitro fertilization.

An interesting and accurate take on "The Drug War" (12 minutes)
Jimmy Dore brings to the fore the methods and the realities how the War on Drugs makes it worse.
There is mention of the CIA, but no mention of happens in our world all the time. Cops arrest the perp, confiscates 2 lbs. of pot, indicts and prosecutes on 1 lb. Since the perp cannot take the stand when they take his/her vehicle, 5th Am. thing, the cops get to sell and distribute that lb. of pot.

How the hell else are they going to line their pockets?
.

Not sure there is much daylight between the DEA & CIA.
Poppy fields in Afghanistan, heroin in the ghettos, coke from Columbia
and now fentanyl from Asia. Pot has lost its luster. Not just coincidental.
question everything
Don’t forget the FDA approving
OxyContin and keeping it on the mark after millions of people got addicted to it which destroyed families and states. That was done deliberately. And now the weight loss drugs still being sold even though they are wrecking bodies right after left. I won’t mention the mRNA jabs…and what they are doing is friendly and families.

We want the oil!
Jimmy Dore and Anya Parampil. 16 minutes.
Jimmy features
a 5 minute video that takes down/shakes down how we cause unrest, deaths, destruction, to get that oil in Venezuela.

This is nucking futs!
Men are stronger with a stronger cardiovascular system and that doesn’t go away when they start calling themselves women. How can hormones take away strength and the other advantages?

this video didn't show the 2nd punch that
made her call it. The second head punch could have killed her. Glad she stopped.

I played coed soccer ONCE
A guy kicked the ball from 40 feet away and it came right at me, but sp fast I couldn’t move out of the way. It hit me in my thigh and the bruise was shaped like the cut outs in the ball. And boy did it hurt. Men are so much stronger than women. Why that’s being debated is beyond me.

Not to mention, boxing is stupid.
Not long after I arrived on earth, I must have been three, I told my father who was watching boxing on the teevee, "That is stupid. Don't look at it. It will make you stupid, too."
Turns out, I was right.
Peeps, there's more to this story than meets the eye
For one thing, the default winner is AFAB (Assigned Female At Birth), raised female, has female equipment, but has something a little bit wonky about her chromosomes that causes something called "hyperandrogenism". That doesn't make her a "man" by any reasonable definition.
For another, just on the face of it, Olympic boxing should probably add more height/weight classes and be more strict about enforcing them. Putting a minimal welterweight (66 kg?) up against someone who just misses the cut for middleweight (74.5 kg?) doesn't look right and isn't right. (I looked up the weight class but don't have the fighters' actual stats. But visually it's a clear mismatch.)
There is no justice. There can be no peace.
It is fairly simple, to me.

Simple answers are often wrong,
especially when there are ideological axes being ground in the background. All the yak-yak about "male puberty" and "transgender" and yada yada yada is HORRIBLY MISTAKEN when it comes to Algerian boxer Imane Khelif.
ALGERIA DOES NOT ALLOW TRANSGENDERING, PERIOD END OF SENTENCE. What you are assigned at birth is what you are, and you are stuck with it.
So yeah, Imane Khelif is de facto female.
If you do a bit of actual research (get off the MSM, get off the scandal channels), you will find that a lot of the noise around this incident is just...noise. Unverified rumors repeated as "fact". Ungrounded speculation blown out of all proportion. Official and unofficial disinformation from sources that are, let's say, not unbiased.
Perhaps the basic question is, should boxing be an Olympic sport at all? (It is, at present, without an international federation, and has just under four years to come up with one or be suspended from 2028.)
There is no justice. There can be no peace.
"Stuck with it (gender assignment at birth)"
is a completely novel way of existing that I have never heard expressed before.
DNA vs. hyperandrogenism is a scientific discussion in which I can listen but not participate.
Not sure who "you" is in your chiding about staying off wack job news media. Were you directing this at me specifically, or you plural? Or anyone on the site?

If you're Algerian, you are what you are AAB
and you aren't allowed to do anything to change it - not in Algeria, at any rate (and if you leave for that reason, you better never come back).
There's a lot of highly irresponsible rumormongering running around the 'Net, and I strongly suspect that much if not most of it is being deliberately ginned up as a distraction from the awfulness of the US political situation. And yes, the Guardian is being irresponsible on this issue too.
The fact is, we don't really know why the International Boxing Association "disqualified" Imane Khelif of Algeria and Lin Yu‑ting of Chinese Taipei (Taiwan). There has never been an official announcement of exactly what "test" they allegedly "failed", nor exactly what they were tested for. The "chromosome" beeswax seems to have been leaked by the IBA president (did you notice he's Russian?) to the Russian "news" agency TASS, which has a very obvious bias. And it was not very long after that, that the IOC stripped the IBA of its Olympic authority (which is why the IOC, and not the IBA, is running Olympic boxing).
The whys and wherefores of the IOC's decision appear to involve a long history of corruption on the part of the IBA, and an ongoing increase in Russian influence on the association (up to and including substantial funding from Gazprom).
Given all that we do not know, the "test" might have been "defeating Russian athletes while not being Russian". Do you think they wouldn't?
There is no justice. There can be no peace.
If men's competitive sports were
being impacted by trans that have an unfair competitive advantage, the issue would be tackled and solved quickly. But it's only women's competitive sports that are being disrupted and for all the advances, women and their sports remain second class.
That complaint does not apply in THIS SPECIFIC case
and just feeds back into the wild and irresponsible rumormongring.
FACT: Neither Khelif not Lin is trans. They are both cis women, AFAB.
The IAB has also admitted that neither woman was tested for testosterone levels - but has not said what they were tested for. We don't know, and can't know until such time as there is an official release of information, whether the "test" was anything more than a gut-level feeling on the part of the (Russian, remember?) IBA president that "women that ugly can't be real women".
As someone who could never be called beautiful, and hardly even "pretty", I vehemently resent such a sexist attitude.
There is no justice. There can be no peace.
There’s really just one
question, then. Do they carry a Y chromosome, or are they XX, which used to mean something to someone somewhere. At least, to a bunch of my old professors back at Gosh Whatta U…
I only ask for a friend, because I personally have the same number of chromosomes as black mollies and privet hedges, and they are none of those.
Twice bitten, permanently shy.
Short answer: We. Don't. Know.
It's also not nearly as simple as that, which is why the IOC discontinued using chromosome tests quite a few years back. (Did you know they had done so?) Nowadays they test for banned substances, testosterone levels (female athletes only), and things that DO make a difference.
The ONLY source for the claim that Khelif and Lin "have XY chromosomes" is the Russian president of the IBA, in an interview with TASS. Bear in mind that the IBA has been so corrupt for so long that the IOC finally had to boot them out of the Olympics - so the IBA's credibility is, to put it mildly, suspect.
There is no justice. There can be no peace.
The 46 second video
has been taken down from the internet.
Hmmm...
