I think it's related in that it's another example of corporate control of the FDA which caused millions of deaths.

I'm trying to give an overall picture of the situation in this essay, not just explain the toxxine.

Ally Financial is the new name of GMAC

but nobody was forced to take this highly effective pain killer, which, if used correctly, is a miracle drug.

What are the odds that fast forward in 20 years when the side effects of long term glp-1 meds use has destroyed quite a few lives

Ally Financial

I've got about $250K in that bank but not for long. Fuck those asshoes.

Boeing's hiring based on diversity quotas has made air travel much more dangerous for everyone.

Moved to local credit union, and those guys have been great.

I left JP Morgan Chase when they starting kicking out accounts for political reasons.

The ruling class then came up with the strategy of calling all the newly impoverished white US citizens "racist" to distract and divide the working class. Since maybe half of the working class was white, and half black or Hispanic, this worked well to divide them and prevent the political unity necessary to fight the oligarchy.

The infrastructure of the US began to fall apart as competence became much less important in getting hired than having the right victimhood qualifications. The current US Vice president is a good example of this racism and sexism in hiring, since she was selected explicitly because of her race and sex but is clearly incompetent. Boeing's hiring based on diversity quotas has made air travel much more dangerous for everyone. Medical schools now admit very weak students based on race, making medical care a very risky proposition.

For instance, the fantastic failures in higher education now on display, largely due to the Marxian defeat of excellence, will implant a generation of incompetents in all hierarchies of management. That will result in an insidious matrix of bad decision-making. The Pareto 80-20 principle will ensure that 80-percent of all institutional energy will focus on propping up failing institutions with bad decisions that add up to broken business models (while 20-percent goes into actually carrying-out the bad decisions as policy). That explains how Pete Buttigieg’s Department of Transportation spent $7.5-billion to build seven electric car charging stations.

Similarly, if you have an urgent medical problem, the 80-percent of administrative clerks in your primary care doctor’s overgrown practice (with an assist from the health insurance company cohorts they must coordinate with) will actually manage to delay your treatment as long as possible, with a fair chance of disallowing it altogether. And if you happen to get treatment, there’s also an excellent chance you will be misdiagnosed and subjected to iatrogenic injury.

VERBAL INVERSION

They define democracy as rule by Democrats.

So when they jail the opposition, censor your speech, and build one-party blue states…that’s all in defense of democracy.

But when someone outside the Party wins an election…well, *that* is an attack on democracy.

Go try it yourself. Ask a partisan blue whether they’d ever vote for a Republican. Of course they wouldn’t, because one-party Democrat rule is the essence of democracy!

This also applies abroad. When Bukele or Milei or Orban wins an election, that is not democracy. But when Justin Trudeau silences truckers by freezing their assets, that is the essence of democracy.

It’s verbal inversion, the intentional corruption of words to mean their opposite. Watch violent BLM/Hamas riots become protected speech, while your mere speech becomes violence.

And watch as they apply the same systematic corruption of words to science, journalism, and information itself.

Trust the science! By that they mean Fauci and the institutions. It’s all about prestigious citation over independent replication. Masks don’t work, and then they do. Because science isn’t something *you* can do, it’s only something blues can do.

And support journalism! By this they mean blue journalism. They mean journalism as nepotism, as the hereditary fiefdom of the Ochs-Sulzbergers. They sure don’t mean citizen journalism — again, it’s not what *you* say but what blues say.

Oh, and combat disinformation! By this too they mean non-Democrat information. A true story that disadvantages Democrats like the Hunter Biden laptop is censored before the election, while a false story like the Steele Dossier gets wide circulation. Once more, *you* think information is what’s true, but they think information is what helps blues.

Ultimately we’ll need to reclaim these words via citizen journalism, decentralized science, verifiable information, and internet democracy.

But step one is calling out their verbal inversion. As @micsolana points out, democracy doesn’t mean prosecution of the opposition. And it sure doesn’t mean one-party Democrat rule.

It means an election that even blues can lose.

And it sure doesn’t mean one-party Democrat rule.

It means an election that even blues can lose.

My conclusion is that Bezos bought this media property because owning this influential “narrative-creating” newspaper would somehow benefit his other companies. ...

That is, the fact he owns The Washington Post probably allows Bezos to make more money with Amazon or other businesses he runs - for example, from lucrative government contracts.

This, as I understand it, has actually happened as Amazon and its affiliate businesses have several lucrative contracts with the government and even the Department of Defense. ...

Also, owning The Washington Post gives Bezos great leverage or provides a form of protection or insurance against the world’s real Mafia - the U.S. government.

The Post can certainly protect and promote all the government’s favored bogus narratives by the stories editors choose to run … and, perhaps more importantly, the stories it chooses to not investigate or publish.

The government, one assumes, might appreciate this help and reward a news organization that is so willing to “play ball” with Big Brother. (This might be called a “carrot.”)

Similarly, it’s possible savvy business owners like Bezos understand that the only entity that can put him out of business would be the U.S. government. ...

The possibility has occurred to me that Jeff Bezos may have been recruited to purchase The Washington Post as the CIA and our Deep State rulers also clearly knew the paper was at the risk of going under …. unless it had an owner with unlimited amounts of money (someone who could easily afford to lose $73 million/year).

It turns out that almost every big journalism or media company must have an owner who can afford to lose millions or billions of dollars from these media “investments.” (This is because at least half the country now knows the MSM is completely captured and these citizens will never subscribe to one of these newspapers or magazines).

Almost all of the Big Media companies are owned by companies that have other businesses. It’s possible the arrangement - or quid pro quo - is that “if you buy this company (and keep it going and promote all the authorized narratives), we’ll make sure the stock price of your other companies continues to go sky-high (via the rigged stock market).”

Amazon and Bezos certainly made a killing in Covid years as retail customers could no longer buy the products this company sells at local Mom-and-Pop businesses, which were shut down … by the government.

At the same time, the Washington Post’s army of journalists were filing as many stories as they could, proclaiming this was the only way to save the country’s grandmothers and children.

Reporters with integrity who questioned the repeated hoaxes were systematically fired or quit the corporate media in disgust, people like Bari Weiss, Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi, Aaron Berenson, and Tucker Carlson. They are now all independent reporters via the internet.

TV stations have exceptionally weak editorial integrity now that most of their advertising revenue has been eaten by Google and Facebook. They are willing to say anything to please any advertiser who will give them enough money to stay alive. They found their savior in Pfizer. In return for Pfizer dollars, they simply had to lie and claim that the vaccine is "safe and effective" over and over. It is in reality anything but safe and effective. It killed millions of people worldwide, at least 1 in 800 of anyone who took even one shot.

Over the last 20 years the tax-efficient billionaire foundations have stepped into the funding gaps left by declining circulation and advertising sales across mainstream media. It is noted by the EJN that journalists “overwhelmingly agreed” that support from external funding organisations was “essential” to enabling their climate and environmental reporting. Any journalist can apply to be a member of the EJN and the “primary benefit” is said to be access to grant funding for stories and “training opportunities”. The operation claims over 25,000 members in 200 countries.

The list of EJN funders is a long one and includes many well-known supporters of climate fear-mongering work. Included is the European Climate Foundation, heavily supported by Michael Bloomberg and Extinction Rebellion paymaster Sir Christopher Hohn. Other supporters include Tides, Gulbenkian, Oak, Packard, Climate Justice Resilience, MacArthur and Rockefeller. Helping out with taxpayer money are political and government organisations including the United Nations and the British Foreign Office. ...

and this trend is spreading inexorably like some sort of invasive slime mold and the desperate denizens of failing mastheads are clutching at it like life preservers in a shipwreck.

there are literal schools for it: come and get indoctrinated. learn to push our agenda and get grants and sinecures. it’s a pervasive trend and as marketing dollars go, it’s cheap as dirt. this is not even a cult, it’s just a grift preying on the desperate and the devoted.

you gather hundreds, bestow them with false gravitas, let them cross link and validate one another, then publish the “ward letter” to parliament pushing aggressive green policy that just happens to require large purchases of the things the companies you are invested in just happen to sell.

the whole point is to break the free market. consumer sovereignty driven competition is difficult and uncertain. margins from mandate and oligopoly are far higher. big firms and big investment pools do not want to guess. they want to bet on sure things. this is why they always cozy up to fascists, totalitarians, and socialists alike. mandate my wealth and i’ll rise and applaud for whatever nonsense you like.

and green is a perfect storm because it touches everything. ...

this is a helluva business model. you make billions investing in shoddy and pointless greentech that has little purpose and less ability to compete unaided in the marketplace by conjuring false consensus in academia, media, and politics by flooding them with money.

people need a new everyhting. new car, new dishwasher, new heat pump, new solar panel, new foods, new clothing, new windows and washing machines. the ROI on buying the academia/journalism industrial complex and the politicos who lean on them for justification is staggering. you drop $20 million in and get mandates to buy 100’s billions worth of products. and the rule by rube true believers you elevate to positions of power literally don’t know any better and are sure the poison they push is panacea. this is how you get absolute incompetents in charge of everything. they were selected for ideological purity and nothing else because that’s what serves the grift. they are chumps too impossibly ignorant to ever be wised up. but the people are cottoning on to this and they are increasingly kicking these wreckers to the curb.

The ruling class then came up with the strategy of calling all the newly impoverished white US citizens "racist" in their corporate media, to distract and divide the working class. Since maybe half of the working class was white, and half black or Hispanic, this worked well to divide them and prevent the political unity necessary to fight the oligarchy.

Impoverished and vilified as racists by the ruling class, poor white people turned to drugs to escape, and the Sackler family in particular supplied them with opiates, killing millions while generating billions of dollars in profits.

Consider the jaw-dropping implications of this awe-inspiring list of the Court’s remaining big issue cases: ...

A case on whether the Sackler family can get personal legal releases in the Purdue Pharma opioid settlement.

The FBI then arrested more than 700 election fraud protestors and hasty kangaroo courts sentenced them to many years in prison under novel legal theories invented on the spot.

The Fischer case on whether January 6th defendants were creatively over-charged under an irrelevant document-shredding law.

Then Trump pissed off the ruling class yet more by refusing to start any new wars. US foreign policy had been dictated by weapons makers like Raytheon and Lockheed Martin up to that point. They like wars. Wars mean weapons sales, and weapons sales means profits. Profits can be used to bribe Congressmen who then distract everyone with "racism" and other bullshit non-problems to get votes while never mentioning what their donors really want. It's a big circle of corruption, and Trump was getting in the way.

Impoverished and vilified as racists by the ruling class, poor white people turned to drugs to escape, and the Sackler family in particular supplied them with opiates, killing millions while generating billions of dollars in profits.

Next up, NPR ran another encouraging story on a lower-profile but still important case, headlined “Supreme Court rejects controversial Purdue Pharma bankruptcy deal.” In a mixed 5-4 decision, the Court said the Sackler family members, who own the criminal pharmaceutical giant, are not entitled to civil and criminal releases as part of the Purdue opioid settlement.

What does "Democracy" mean, as applied to our government?
…
They say, “If Trump is re-elected, he will end Democracy.”
Do you know why they are saying this?
What will Trump Do to 'end Democracy'?
…
From the knowledge I gained in recent months, I agree with them.

I finally understand why they (hillary, biden, pelosi, schumer, romney, chenney) profess this phrase vehemently. These people (and many others) are plugged into The Blob.
…
Background:
I stopped watching the news after the 2016 election, and I did not start watching it again until a couple months before the 2018 election. The political media coverage was unrecognizable as anything fair and balanced, and I could not understand what I was seeing.

Due to my fresh eyes seeing the vicious attacks against Trump in combination with the lack of context from the previous 18 months of media stories, I could not make sense of the situations. The reactions were on a level of hate I have never seen against a public person. I’ve been searching for an explanation that could reconcile this confusion since that time.
…
Which resulted in my years-long Thought Experiment:
“How did we get here?”
…
Now, I know the answer:
World War II.
…

Is Trump an existential threat to Democracy if elected in 2024?

Well, yes. But, what does “Democracy” mean….

Without World War II we would never have arrived at the political state of the world that we are in now. World War II has been thoroughly examined for the cause and the events that took place. But, the TRUE motivation behind the recovery plan and the political environment at that time is much less well-known to most people. In the aftermath of the War, the politics of the Western World changed from a Colonial Model to a Neo-Liberal Capitalistic Model by mandate. This meant the powerful Countries of the world can no longer conquer foreign lands by force, and Sovereign Nations would choose their desired form of Governance and Political Leaders by vote.

The CIA and the Marshall plan, which was designed by Secretary of State George Marshall (not Congress), went hand-in-hand to overturn governments and control the world. They funded Radio Free companies to control the narratives, and established CIA Stations in each area. The state department, the DOD and the CIA all worked together to put a face of diplomacy on covert operations. They wrote the manual for Color Revolutions, and it has been used repeatedly for decades around the world. This was new to the world in the 1950’s due to the recent advancements in technology, so it was not obvious what was really happening. Even to this day, people do not want to accept the level of covert corruption that happens right in front of us.

The Neo liberal capitalist system came out of World War II. The U.S. had ramped domestic production to extreme levels during the War, and it needed to find a way to export our capacity around the world to generate massive profits. This new Capitalist system fears two things:
1) Right/Left-Wing Nationalists (Populists), which will resist global trade and focus internally to make their own lives better, ahead of the Global Community.
2) Left-Wing Communism, where the State owns all the resources in the country so foreign governments can’t steal them through business deals.

The solution for the Populist case is to declare these groups “Domestic Terrorists” and label them as an existential threat to our Democracy. Then use Institutional Media (which has been influenced by the Intelligence Agencies since the 1940’s) to relentlessly repeat a supporting narrative. Over time the credibility of these Populist Groups are degraded in the court of public opinion. At this point, the members of these groups can be publicly shamed, arrested, prosecuted, bankrupted, or outright killed, and the Country would see it as a solved problem. Historical examples include McCarthyism’s attack on the left-wing Populists in the 1950’s; the assassination of MLK Jr. to end the rise of his Populist movement; the assassination of Malcom X to end the rise of his Populist movement; and most recently, the arrest and prosecution of the leaders in the MAGA Populist movement and continuous political, financial, and legal prosecution against Trump, who is now labeled a future Dictator if elected.

The solution for the Communist case is to overthrow the “Dictatorship” Government in a given Country and put somebody who represents “Democracy” in power. Gene Sharp, from the Einstein Institute in Massachusetts, is credited for creating the CIA’s definitive guide to effectuate a Color Revolution, and the process was used to overthrow over 100 Regimes between 1947 and 2016. The plan included having the new “Democratic” Government privatize industries and allow Our Country to take control of the previously State-owned resources for huge profits.

This model of “Democracy” is called “Institutional Democracy.” It is a type of Democracy where the Institutions vote on policy, not the people. They know what is “best for the Country.”

Why did Hillary spend over $1.2 Billion in her campaign for the Presidency? Because the President appoints the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, and the Director of the CIA. These (3) positions control the organizations that form the core of The Blob (it is noteworthy to point out that these are unelected individuals controlling World Events via our Government). Trillions of dollars in Global Capital is at risk if the wrong people are appointed. You can look back over the past 40+ years, and you will see the same people rotating through these positions, and in some cases, generations are represented.

THIS IS THE “DEMOCRACY” that could end if Trump is re-elected. INSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY.

Reframe:
Trump is an Existential Threat to Democracy.
TO:
Trump is an Existential Threat to INSTITUTIONAL Democracy.

It is true that Trump might seriously damage the current state of Institutional Democracy. This could disrupt Global Markets. We need to make a decision to try to move back to a Populist model of Governance or allow the Institutions to continually and increasingly control our lives. Neither option has a guaranteed outcome, and the opportunity to effectuate this Populist Movement is only possible now because of the recent explosion of Social Media Independence. This window of Internet Freedom might be short-lived. The Censorship Industry has grown dramatically since 2016, and The Blob is actively using it to gain back control of The Narrative. It is already happening in the EU and Canada.

Enter Donald Trump. Born rich but never accepted by the rest of the ruling class because of his uncouth manners, Trump was stung by their rejection. Even in ancient Greece, rejected members of the oligarchy traditionally turned to the common people for support. So Trump decided to appeal to the common people and give away the game, explaining exactly how the rest of the ruling class was screwing them over with outsourcing to China and insourcing illegals. He ran for president in 2016, not really expecting to win.

You can explain the media’s initial repugnance to Donald Trump going back to his 2015 debut in politics. Much about him had a low-class odor, despite all the gold-plating — his origins in tawdry Queens, his career as a builder in Manhattan where the trades are mob-controlled, the Atlantic City casino debacle, bankruptcy, ditching Ivana and his mid-life playboy reputation, the tacky TV show, the increasingly mystifying hair-doo, his rough, jumbly manner of speech. Everything about him repelled the Ivy Leaguers who increasingly filled the ranks of national-level journalism.

Despite all that, Mr. Trump raised five kids successfully. The grown ones had careers and they all visibly loved him. With that and his overt masculinity, he assumed the lineaments of the archetypal Daddy, which enflamed the enormous cohort of feminists who had taken over the Democratic Party behind their avatar Hillary Clinton. And when he squeaked out an electoral victory over her in 2016, they were sure it was cheat. The menace of Daddy in da (White) house pushed them over the edge psychologically.

Daddy was all about setting boundaries, which was the antithesis to the “progressive” (and transgressive) agenda of the Dems, and was probably the reason that his talk of “building the wall” along the Mexican border drove them nuts. It signaled patriarchal control of a whole lot of other things, too. Boundaries galore!

Trump also pissed off the giant government worker goldbricking class. This is an army of guys at the FBI, NSA, Homeland Security, etc. who can easily commit clandestine crimes and who number in the hundreds of thousands. They are all pension multimillionaires. Trump noticed the huge expense of these goldbrickers and mentioned that he would like to start decreasing their numbers and slowing their wage growth. They were therefore happy to help the oligarchy commit the above crimes via BLM, and by lighting forest fires, and by locking down the economy to reverse Trump's economic success, etc. They are the very opposite of public servants, being enemies of the public, especially the FBI.

Now, it happened that the Democratic Party was also the favored party of the DC permanent bureaucracy, which had been growing and growing for decades and had become overtly politicized during the eight years of Barack Obama. Mr. Trump threatened to downsize this leviathan government, meaning many patronage jobs might be lost. (Boundaries would be imposed!) The warrior branch of this Deep State was the Intel community. The FBI, the DOJ, the CIA, the State Dept, and elements of the military were commissioned by the Democratic Party to destroy Mr. Trump.

John Deere has gone full woke and is firing hundreds of Americans to move operations to Mexico

In a comprehensive and scathing video, journalist Robby Starbuck has exposed the latest corporation with a largely conservative customer base to go woke: John Deere.

He provided a list of what he found:
-Funding a pride event for kids as young as 3

-"Genderbread man" training

-They ask employees to list their "preferred pronouns" on all communications

-Bill Gates is listed as their largest shareholder

-John Deere celebrated their accounting and finance team taking United Way's 21 day "United For Equity" program

-When I did "United For Equity" program it promoted Ibram Kendi, the woke children's book "Anti-Racist Baby", "Awake to Woke to Work", a podcast on the concept of "Whiteness", woke activist Robin DiAngelo, bigotry against Christians who supposedly have "Christian Privilege" and more

-The woke policies have spread across the global John Deere brand with many of their DEI policies also being forced on their Latin America and India branches

-LGBTQ & race based identity groups at corporate

-A total commitment to DEI policies

-95/100 CEI score from the HRC

To add insult to injury, John Deere is also eliminating 600 American jobs across the Midwest and moving them to Mexico.
A report from Fox 8 Cleveland confirmed these layoffs come on the heels of 970 additional layoffs from earlier this year. Most jobs are being outsourced to other countries.

Another once-great American company, hollowed out from the inside. Here's hoping they face a big enough backlash to make them turn things around.

It's all about lowering wages to increase dividends.

Stock buybacks. Dividends get taxed more than cap gains, I believe.

Stock buybacks should be re-made illegal.

"Genderbread man" training
