    Do it at least once in your life. Go watch Top Fuel.

    For the record, nitromethane tastes pretty good…the taste acquired via the fumes. I brushed the teeth for two days and the taste stuck around. Sweet in flavour.

    We had the pleasure of not only watching these 11,000-12,000HP monsters tear down the track, but we got to watch Clay Millican and his team put in all the effort to make this car WORK! Witnessing all the work and care this team puts into this car for 3.7 seconds of glory is a beautiful thing! We hope you all enjoy this as much as we did!

    What’s it COST to race a 12,000hp TOP FUEL DRAGSTER?

    LISTEN BUCKO, PETERSON IS CONTROLLED OP – ANSWER COMMENTS & GOING IN TO MORE DETAIL

    The ones who pass the test are those who early in the scamdemic spotted the hoax and refused to comply.

    Assessing Jordan Petersen is getting complex. He was firm in his stance in his university – taking a stand against the political correctness. Also in some of his media interviews. But he seems to be jumping fences quite often.

    The question of God is one dodge game with JP. He doesn’t give a straight answer to his belief or non-belief in God.

    I am surprised by Bjorn Lomborg’s tweet that Global Warming is real and man-made. Need to check out the context.

    As I have done in the past (going back to Cat2), with the numero clips that I post, I have provided an advance explanation as I do not want to cause the same click-bait trap that I dislike. Prior to posting the first set of a particular type, I have let the blog know the subject matter.

    On my internet travels, I spend a fair bit of time on sites that are faith-related. And I come across memes, clips and other info, but I am unsure whether to post them here. So I just stay with the general, if I can. But there may be some who share the faith and would like the reflections or reminders.

    So I’m starting a new series. If there are numeros, they’ll be in Latin, since it is the language of the faith. When you see something that looks like this, you can stop to read or rapidly scroll away. Your choice.

    Pretty sure Lomborg’s always been a believer. However he takes umbrage at the unscientific & uneconomic responses dictated by “Big Climate”. So while he’s a noted sceptic, it’s of the response to climate change, not climate change itself. He argues for adaptation not decarbonisation, as the most cost-effective & rational response to “climate change”.

    U.S. President Joe Biden made a surprise visit to Kyiv, Ukraine Monday in a show of solidarity, nearly a year after Russia began its full-scale invasion of the country.

    “Joseph Biden, welcome to Kyiv! Your visit is an extremely important sign of support for all Ukrainians,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Telegram on Monday.

    Biden said in a White House statement that he was meeting with Zelenskyy to “reaffirm our unwavering and unflagging commitment to Ukraine’s democracy, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.”

    Mark Dice:

    While CNN has become a laughing stock in recent years because of their hyper partisan spin and endless fake news, the network, which was the first news network on cable TV, has a long history of dishonesty. Media analyst Mark Dice takes a close look at the history of CNN (which stands for Cable News Network) to see how long the network has been bypassing journalism ethics.

    This is Nothing New!

    That article about 15 minute cities (which I note is not attributed to any individual) is just appalling. A pack of lies.

    They pretend that it is just a benign idea for town planning purposes, with no mention of the Oxford (UK) proposal which involves 100% surveillance of everyone’s movements and penalties for breaking the ‘rules.’

    Then there is the laughable, and completely ass-backwards, assertion that cars have reduced people’s personal freedom. Give up your car and be free, they say. Black is white, truth is lies, etc comes to mind.

    No wonder nobody wanted to put their name to this abomination.

    Premiered 7 hours ago
    2/20/2023 — The warning for this earthquake was issued MULTIPLE times this week for a new M6.0+ event to strike a different location than the previous M7’s and other activity.

    The new M6.4 has struck approximately 90 miles South of the previous M7.8 at Gaziantep and 160 miles South of the last large M7.5 by Elbistan.

    I am 208 miles off on my warned location. Spot on with magnitude, time frame, and region.

    Central Turkey was warned for up to M6.5 (M5.9 USGS) to strike by tomorrow. Warnings issued for the past 5 days on my youtube channel via free public videos, and via written messages on social media including my community page, and twitter.

    I explained the reasoning behind the warning, and the time frame for it being until tomorrow. See the warnings here if you wish to verify: https://www.youtube.com/@dutchsinse/v… Starting on Feb 14, 2023 (6 days ago). Warning issued for a 7 day time frame.

    Could the reason for the poor results by the Aussie cricket team in India be due to climate change? The cricket pitch affected by the Indians using so much coal? The Indian cricketers were not affected because they don’t understand the evils of coal? They are not woke enough?

    Maybe the Aussie cricketers should call off the rest of the series in protest?

    India Invokes Maximum Energy Output Law from Coal Plants

    • India invoked a law that will demand maximum output from power plants running on imported coal.
    • Beginning on March 16 and ending on June 15, all power plants will have to be running at maximum capacity and selling to buyers on exchanges.
    • India is expecting a record power usage this summer, with peak demand in April of 229 gigawatts.

    Since it’s already out there, here are my heartfelt remarks to my staff this morning.

    I need to make clear I have not resigned from the company, Project Veritas, I founded 13 years ago. I was stripped of my position as CEO and Chairman.

    I came to the PV office today to remove my personal belongings.

    If you’re wondering what’s next, stay tuned…

    For some of those of you here making comments about Jordan Peterson I strongly recommend you watch the following excerpt of Peterson’s interview with Joe Rogan.

    There is much that Peterson says in his interviews, speeches and books that is impressive. The prospect of bringing together people to form a powerful group opposing the WEF sounds great.

    I have watched plenty of JP, over the past years, and have been impressed with his theories, his ideas and his solutions. But I have also come across some other interactions where he seems to be contradicting himself.

    Towards the end of this interview with Rogan, he is quoting the conversation between God and Moses. But ask him questions about his faith:
    Does he believe in God? Is he a Christian? It requires a simple Yes or No, but he will go into an analysis without providing an answer. On one occasion, he got very emotional talking about God and the Bible, but couldn’t answer the question.

    I don’t want to write him off – the world needs all the help it can get against the globalists. But we need those who are really there to fight against the enemy, not to win plaudits for themselves.

    If you ever find an early copy of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, hang on to it. As published in 1964, the Oompah Loompas were African pygmies brought to work in Wonka’s factory. Dahl re-wrote the Oompah Loompas in 1973, after agreeing with the NAACP which expressed concern that the transportation of Oompa-Loompas to Wonka’s factory resembled slavery. Thus the Oompah Loompas are currently like miniscule hippies- although in the proposed latest changes, they become gender-free.

    And it’s only thanks to Dahl’s agent that Charlie wasn’t originally a poor black boy…
