The X Files: Another ‘Random’ Killing

An example of what the media narrative push expects the public to believe is normal psychology and behavior…have eye bleach ready…

Fuckin’ rocking!
You tell ’em, pops!
Satan’s minions do not look like we expected. It is purely evil to say this abomination is female.

Nice job Suds. Appreciate the comments on Friday Fails. Awesome catch
An earlier Noah tried to warn what was coming, and
An earlier Webster published a book to help people
gain knowledge and understanding…
And that duty is to dismantle that corrupt government.
And execute its facilitators.
Our Declaration of Independence spells it out beautifully:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.”
Those who doubt this are the ones using ‘conspiracy theorist’ and eyerolls as a pompous, arrogant, & ignorant ad hominem attacks in the face of abundant evidence, if one researches, studies and opens eyes.
… and by ‘bad religious’ leaders …
Young white men, do NOT allow yourselves to be drafted and become cannon fodder for this satanic government that hates you and your people. Judgment is coming to this nation. Do not allow yourselves to be slaughtered in a futile attempt by the powers that be to stop the coming Judgment.
As for WW2, we chose the wrong side.
They hate the Germans … they hate the Russians … got them to fight against each other … and for the United States to do likewise …

Again nice one

Despair is aid to the enemy.
Only if you wallow in it.
I have never felt more hopeful and optimistic, so they’re doing something wrong.
These are the good old times.
Some have waited decades anticipating what’s coming.
I’m a little older than anticipated, probably logistically challenged, but it’s time…
These are the good old times, indeed.
Amen, HSF … we cannot let them win … not just for ourselves, but for our children and their children’s children …

Woof-Woof……damn that’s ugly.
This is untrue. This is literally the definition of misinformation. I believe these little gems are planted purposely with the sole intention of misdirecting most people away from the real truth.
Btw, this comment has nothing to do with the O.P. Suds, but this is a prime example of why being absolutely faithful to the truth matters so much on our side of the fight.
You see, Valerie Biden Owens is married to John Owens, no relation (that I can find) to Stephen D. Ownes, cofounder and board member of Dominion voting systems. And this little fact alone serves as leverage for the “Fact-Checking” crowd to point and say it’s all just conspiracy, there is no link.
Therein lies the true treachery of these little snippets of “misinformation”. Most people will see that the statement is wrong, which it is, roll their eyes, then ignore anything more on the topic.
However, if one digs a little deeper, you will find that Stephen D. Owens was very much in bed with the Clinton’s, the Bush’s, the US State Dept, and various US Intelligence agencies with the “Carlyle Group”. Then co-founded “Staple Street Capital” in 2009 with suspiciously close ties to Obama. It was Staple Street that became the private equity behind Dominion Voting with board members that were closely tied to the intelligencia, state dept, and white house.
Therefore it is highly likely that Joe Biden does have, at the very least, indirect ties to Dominion Voting through Stephen Owens and Staple Street Capital.
But you would never know that if you simply took the Red Herring/Straw Man logic of the original meme at face value as an untruth and quick digging.
Helluva comment.
Thanks for the correction and viewpoint
But she does look like the alien in your earlier post from 8:12 up above, so you’ve got that going for you.
That’s why you eventually have to come to the simple truth that it is all lies and it is entirely corrupt, and so the details don’t even matter.

Why doesn’t matter.
It’s not only the parents — most often the disturbed mothers — who get their children ‘gender modified’ to fit their own mental illness … but they also got their children jabbed — sometimes as young as 2 months old — and then some of those children died.
Those parents (mothers) will never own up to that choice that they made to endanger their own children …
The real issue is misplaced civility. Civility is a reciprocal courtesy between decent people. No decent person would enable a child to mutilate himself. There is no need to extend civility to such a depraved person. Public shaming is the least we owe to such a person.
Australia introduces controversial mind control Ministry aimed at controlling and changing men’s behavior
The totalitarian, morally-bankrupt nation of Australia has introduced a controversial new Ministry that specifically targets MEN and seeks to change MAN’s behavior. The Premier of Victoria – Jacinta Allan – has appointed a man named Tim Richardson to become the nation’s first Parliamentary Secretary for Men’s Behavior Change.
The new Ministry will seek to monitor, control and change men’s behavior throughout Australia. The Ministry will use online tools to make men have respectful dialogue with women, etc. To get the population behind this social engineering program, there must be a manufactured crisis. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and the corporate state media claim the country is experiencing a “national crisis” of “gender-based violence.” The Prime Minister suggests that all men should take responsibility for this crisis, and the government must act now!

That will work. On fags.
They killed millions of women with abortion in order to lower the population, then taught the women who survived that they are the same as men and should find fulfillment in work. Now they punish the men who cannot find a wife due to the shortage of women and the lack of surviving women who want marriage.
They just need more communism…
Quite interestingly, one of the phenomena that arose in china a decade or so ago, when the shortage of women became both acute and apparent — was that some women would go and get serially engaged to numerous men … collecting a dowry from each as she went … getting quite wealthy in the process.
My recollection/guess is that a fair portion of those women eventually migrated to the UK or Canada or the US with their ill-gotten booty …
Microaggressions: Will Oregon Revoke Doctors’ Licenses for Telling Non-whites to Lose Weight?
It’s not just the Covid shots, either. In fact, the latest example is that the Oregon Medical Board (OMB), reports hold, is poised to make physicians’ commission of “microaggressions” possible grounds for medical license revocation.
What’s more, get a load of what’s reportedly an example of a such a career-ending trespass: telling a non-white patient he needs to shed pounds.
Presumably, this is about coddling (to death?) blacks, Hispanics, and American Indians. For these groups, the feds’ Office of Minority Health itself tells us, have a greater problem with obesity than whites do. (Note that Asian-descent Americans have less than half whites’ obesity rate. But doctors will still be allowed to tell a white guy he’s a fatso.)
This gets worse still, though. If you’re a doctor who fails to report a colleague’s microaggression thought crime, the OMB may revoke your license, too.

The case of the missing NYPD gear is apparently not unique
Thanks to a tip from a friend, I came across a recent story from citizen journalist Tony Seruga that was highly suspect, and very concerning—uniforms, cruiser decals, and radios from the New York Police Department were disappearing, in significant numbers.
Now, Seruga is reporting that the missing law enforcement gear and supplies isn’t a mystery that’s exclusive to the Big Apple, but apparently happening across the nation

You Can’t Make This Up: Experts are Now Investigating Whether Milk is Racist in Government-Funded Study on Dairy’s Ties to Colonialism
In the latest display of far-left absurdity, taxpayer money is now being funneled into a study investigating the supposed ties between milk and colonialism.
Yes, you read that correctly.
Back in 2018, the New York Times published an article titled, “Why White Supremacists Are Chugging Milk (and Why Geneticists Are Alarmed).” In 2017, leftist PETA also published an article titled, “Why Cow’s Milk Is the Perfect Drink for Supremacists.”
Now, it seems academics at Oxford are jumping on the bandwagon, ready to dissect the ‘political nature’ of milk and its so-called ‘colonial legacies.’

Women Say They Have Been Misled And Betrayed By Feminist Ideology
Growing numbers of women around the world are voicing their discontent and disillusionment with feminist ideology. Indeed, only 29% of American women identify as feminist, according to an Ipsos survey.
This trend recently reached the pages of the UK Daily Mail where journalist Petronella Wyatt alleged feminism “has failed me and my generation”. Daughter of the former Member of Parliament Woodrow Wyatt, Petronella is in every sense a feminist icon: well-educated, socially well-connected, and unencumbered by family ties.
Underscoring her poignant observations with a bittersweet smile, Wyatt reveals four ways in which feminist ideology has betrayed herself, her circle of friends, and women in general:
Marriage and Family: Karl Marx viewed marriage as an exploitative institution. “The bourgeois sees his wife a mere instrument of production,” Marx once wrote. Accordingly, feminists seek to sideline the role of marriage.
This plan has had devastating consequences for women.
Noting that one in 10 British women in their 50s has never married, Wyatt reveals how this is a direct result of feminist advocacy: “One of my unmarried school friends recalls: ‘My teachers made me feel as if marriage was shameful.’… Yet of all the institutions that have come down to us from the past, none is so derailed by feminism as the family.”
Mental Health: Over half — 56% — of young liberal white women have been diagnosed with a mental health condition, which in large part is a direct result of an epidemic of female loneliness.
Wyatt reveals, “many single women feel they have failed at life. Far from empowering us, feminism has made us insecure. “’My career has stalled, I’ve never married and I feel worthless as a person,’ observes my pretty 53-year-old friend Rachel.”
Economic Status: It’s a truism that women who live in a single-person household enjoy less income than persons in a two-person family.
“A university professor chum bemoans ‘as a single woman, it has been increasingly difficult to pay the bills with no assistance from a partner. For every J K Rowling, there are millions of women who get by on a pittance,” Wyatt recounts. “Feminism kept drumming into my head that financial independence was the ideal, but in practice it doesn’t happen unless you are managing a hedge fund or are able to write best-selling novels.”
Demonization of Men: In some respects, feminism has turned vindictive and hateful, stereotyping men as “abusers” and “patriarchal oppressors.” Wyatt explains how her friend Sally once confided, “’I constantly feel unwanted as a woman because feminism taught us that the traditional female was a stereotype invented by men to keep us down. Accordingly, I was anti-men to the point of driving them away. Now, I’m paying for this.”
So when does the biggest apology tour in history kick off?
Asking for a friend.
Have you ever actually known any women?
And voters are like folks already overboard, waiting to be saved by . . . gummint.
Hurricane godfather Dr. Neil Frank puts record-breaking forecast into perspective – ‘Follows a multi-decadal cycle of about 60-years that cannot be linked to global warming’
The 2024 hurricane season is forecast to be a record-breaker and climate provocateurs are crowing that it’s all your fault. Your carbon-intense lifestyle is warming the global atmosphere and now the biggest storms on earth are about to intensify and wreak havoc.
A prime example was heard last week on National Public Radio’s Shortwave Podcast. An NPR “climate desk” correspondent stated, “…human-caused climate change is driving up temperatures around the world, not just on land—like so many of us are experiencing firsthand this week—but in the ocean, where the hurricanes form.”
Total junk-science.
And ALL of them have been recalled by the government … fancy that …

“Socialism is a wonderful idea. It is only as a reality that it has been disastrous. Among people of every race, color, and creed, all around the world, socialism has led to hunger in countries that used to have surplus food to export…. Nevertheless, for many of those who deal primarily in ideas, socialism remains an attractive idea — in fact, seductive. Its every failure is explained away as due to the inadequacies of particular leaders.”― Thomas Sowell
“Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it.”― Thomas Sowell, The Thomas Sowell Reader
“The only way anyone can have a right to something that has to be produced is to force someone else to produce it for him. The more things are provided as rights, the less the recipients have to work and the more others have to carry their load.”
― Thomas Sowell, The Thomas Sowell Reader
“The term “liberal” originally referred politically to those who wanted to liberate people—mainly from the oppressive power of government. That is what it still means in various European countries or in Australia and New Zealand. It is the American meaning that is unusual: People who want to increase the power of government, in order to accomplish various social goals.”
― Thomas Sowell, The Thomas Sowell Reader
“Government “planning” is not an alternative to chaos. It is a pre-emption of other people’s plans.”
― Thomas Sowell, The Thomas Sowell Reader
“Alaska is much larger than France and Germany—combined. Yet its population is less than one-tenth that of New York City. Keep that in mind the next time you hear some environmentalist hysteria about the danger of “spoiling” Alaska by drilling for oil in an area smaller than Dulles Airport.”

This is one of the most disturbing videos I have ever seen.
It confirms that the TGA knew back in Jan 2021 that the lipid nanoparticles (and the mRNA) didn’t stay in the inject site, but spread throughout the entire body including the brain, the liver and female ovaries.
This should have raised red flags everywhere, especially when there was zero data of what the medium & long term adverse effects that this would cause.
Yet the TGA allowed these experimental injections to be approved with the intention that that substance would injected into every Australian – and the TGA KEPT QUIET about the fact that mRNA would spread through the entire body.
This destroyed the concept of “informed consent”.
Video by Dr. John Campbell.

This destroyed the concept of “informed consent”
What the fuck are you blathering about?
You were all fucking warned for centuries.
In no uncertain terms too.
“DO NOT PLACE YOUR FAITH IN THE NOBLES NOR THE SONS OF MAN TO WHOM NO SALVATION BELONGS”
This message has been delivered to every corner of the earth.
That so many ignored this instruction, listened to the nobles and sons of man, and got the injections?
That is on every thinking adult who listened to the confirmed liars.
Even if it was to “save your job”?
You fucked up.
You only get one body.
If you fucked it up because you listened to the snake oil salesmen?
That is on you.
If you poisoned your kids because you listened?
Sucks to have been a link in the chain to poison your own offspring.
Should have just handed them a loaded gun.
You people who were duped?
Were duped.
And now you are angry at the people who duped you.
For some reason, no one is accepting responsibility for being duped.
Mostly, though, they’re not really angry at the people who duped them. They’re more angry at those who weren’t duped. Especially if those who weren’t duped warned those who were duped to not get duped.
p.s. John Campbell was one of the dupers. Probably the most watched duper on youtube.
I know he’s been doing good work and making amends. I know he apologized. I’m just not sure, given his role for a time as the biggest duper on youtube and given his knowledge/background/credentials, that he’s apologized enough. I don’t know if he can.
There’s an old saying;
“He’s not sorry enough. Yet.”
I tried to warn all those in my sphere of influence. Thankfully, some listened. Sadly, some did not.
Moutaineer,
Looks like you got a duped downvoter.
I didn’t need any bible verses to recognize a swindle.
Everybody made their choice.
They own their choice.
If you got swindled, own it.
If you gave it to your kids, too bad, so sad. Eat it.

Informed consent is first destroyed by the USG allowing Pharma to hide ingredients under the umbrella of “proprietary”. It is complete bullshit and entirely unethical and immoral. Furthermore it delegitimizes the USG, when they put foreign profits over the welfare of their own citizens.

Magazine Depth and Shields
There is no doubt Israel (just like its great benefactor, the United States) is, in the context of a “big war”, capable of executing several damaging strikes against a potential peer or near-peer adversary.
But, throughout the imperial domain, there are fatal weaknesses that exist right now, and which cannot be turned into strengths at any point in the near- or medium-term.
The first is what military types call “magazine depth”: munitions stockpiles sufficient to offensively overwhelm, defensively defeat, and strategically outlast the enemy.
Neither the United States, nor any of its largely impotent client nations, possess “magazine depth” sufficient to prosecute anything more than a relatively brief campaign against their potential peer adversaries: Russia, China, Iran — and all or any of their lesser-power partners.
The second problem is a corollary of the first. It is what I will term “shields”: the capacity to defeat a decisive proportion of the strikes one’s enemy can launch against you.
Neither the United States, nor any of its largely impotent client nations — by their own admission — possess anything even approximating comprehensive and effective “shields” against the quantity and quality of the types of strike weapons its potential adversaries can launch against them.
NATO sources themselves recently confessed that they only have about 5% potential air defense coverage against Russian missile strikes.
