    “Germany should be extremely upset with the US but won’t say anything because Germany is effectively a vassal state which, like all western countries, is completely dependent on US security guarantees,” the US investigative journalist said. “The reality is that the US is running the show among western countries. US contributions to Ukraine exceed those of other countries by a factor of 20 or more. So if the US decides to blow up the pipeline, everyone else will toe the line, irrespective of what their own views are.”

    — Hans Mahncke, US investigative journalist and lawyer

    “Germany should be extremely upset with the US but won’t say anything because Germany is effectively a vassal state which, like all western countries, is completely dependent on US security guarantees,”

    There is a lot of anger in the German government, but it’s amongst the various personalities which make up the coalition.

    Chancellor Schotz (Social Democrat Party) isn’t talking to his Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock (Green Party) as it has emerged that she was briefed by US officials about American plans to destroy the pipelines while he wasn’t consulted.

    Scholz is an angry man, he’s annoyed that Baerbock and Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck (Greens Party) are the darlings of the WEF and get to sit at the cool-kids table with Justin and Jacinda whereas he’s just a figure head leader who is ignored by everyone.

    Disney Officially Loses Control Of Reedy Creek Development In Landslide Florida Senate Vote

    Last year Disney waged political war with the state of Florida and Governor Ron DeSantis and has suffered an overwhelming defeat. The company has officially lost control of their Reedy Creek Development…. The decision to dissolve Reedy Creek’s original management was finalized after a landslide senate vote this week to appoint a new governing board.

    Disney has stated that it does not plan to fight the state ruling in court, probably because they know it is a losing battle.

    Hours after Pope Benedict announced his resignation, a lightning bolt struck St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican.

    10 February 2023
    Lightning strikes Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

    In a jaw-dropping moment, the 100-foot statue of Jesus Christ towering over Rio de Janeiro was hit by lightning. The stunning scene was captured during a flash storm which hit the coast of Brazil on Friday. The bolt of flash struck the head of the statue and turned the sculpture into a godly figure.

    Notably, the Christ the Redeemer statue is the largest depiction of Jesus in the world and stands more than 2,000 feet above Rio on top of Corcovado Hill.

    You’re making exactly the same insinuations as Bird did. Just because prominent decision-makers are Jewish does not mean that they’re acting as members of an international Jewish conspiracy. You sound like you still believe in the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

    You inspired me to look for the Dave Chappelle SNL skit.

    Here’s a thought; regarding Olaf Scholz’s silence about Nord Stream’s destruction, can you imagine FDR in December 1941 announcing to the American people that someone attacked Pearl Harbour, we know who it was but we can’t tell you for security reasons, and we’re not going to do anything about it.

    I don’t have a Twitter account and have no interest in joining.
    But I do read some of the good accounts.

    In the past week, there has been a Sign in with Google pop up jumping in on every Twitter page. It is supposed to make it easy for those who need to sign into their accounts to be able to do so easily with just one sign in instead of multiple ones.

    Google just care about making your life easy? Why was this pop-up not around before the new takeover? Does the sign-in make it easier for Big-Corrupt-Tech to monitor and track users on a platform that is now owned by someone who is not in their club?

    Twitter can get rid of this pop-up. Why is it not being done? If Musk really supports free speech and is anti-WEF, he needs to appoint a team to handle the Technical part. He can’t know everything that is happening, but if there is a good system for suggestions and feedback, the clean-up can be done quickly.
