morning y’all
“Gab CEO completely backed up Pres. Trump’s Twitter account before it was deleted & recreated him on Gab! What’s even more impressive is he did this while traffic was up 700% & under attack..
“Notice the shift in language:
Conservatives have gone from “white supremacists” to “domestic terrorists.” It marks the transformation from immoral to criminal, from condemnation to suppression.”
BTW
Gab is still getting hammered
Good morning. I don’t know anything about insurance contracts, state law, etc., but this is NOT good (the company is AIG)
Curt Schilling CONFIRMS his personal insurance CANCELLED because of “social media profile”:
“That was their reasoning. The agent told us it was a decision made by and with their PR department in conjunction with management.”

Good morning @all (although here it is afternoon 🙂 )
@ right_wing2:
I don’t think we’ll get to make that choice. I’m thinking more along the lines of a split, because what we’ve got now is unsustainable. BUT – and here lies the problem. The answer you get depends in large part on how you frame the question.
Let’s reframe the question: What does the gov’t look like now? People are saying the 2-party system is a fraud, there’s just a uniparty. Ok. What does THAT look like?
What if I told you to look over here and realize Amazon has the cloud computing for the CIA and is trying to get the contract for the Pentagon. And maybe Elon Musk will be providing services for our Space Force.

I’m not so sure about your scenario. The cultural divide is permanent, so altho people may be quiet for awhile, the submission will be pro forma only.
If they REALLY want war- and some do – try to take the children and guns. In order to attempt that, there would have to be an almost total blackout of info and a physically weakened population. Either rationing of health care, food, medicine, etc. People who are sick and nutritionally deficient can’t fight.

A second outlier group also stood out. While many marchers wore military camouflage shirts, jackets, or pants of various patterns and states of wear and in all shapes and sizes, here and there one would see people of a different type: Wiry young men in good physical condition dressed neatly in what looked like newer camouflage uniforms with black gear, subdued patches including Punisher skulls, and helmets.
They showed tidiness and discipline. They strode instead of walked, moving at a more rapid pace than most of the people, sometimes breaking into a short jog, and generally keeping to the left side of Constitution Avenue in pairs of two or small groups of three. Unlike others in old military clothes who tended to be affable and talkative, these sullen men seemed not to speak to anyone at all. As we would see, they were the disciplined, uniformed column of attackers.

There’s so many at this point it’s almost better to go by category first. We’ve been banned from both Google and Apple’s app stores. We’ve been deplatformed by hosting platforms like Microsoft Azure, Joyent, Backblaze, and Amazon Web Services. We’ve been banned by GoDaddy and Shopify, third-party tools like embedly, Mailgun, and Medium. We’ve been banned from StartEngine and Patreon. We can’t even use Twitter ads to advertise our existence to anyone.

#CapitolRiot SCOOP: A law enforcement official confirms
@CBSNews the identification of individuals using military or “small unit tactics” is among the “highest priorities” for DC US Attorney’s Sedition Task Force. Video footage + eyewitness accounts of the apparent use of these
tactics (trained to military + law enforcement) drew immediate scrutiny from investigators. CBS News has learned these tactics were witnessed both OUTSIDE + INSIDE the Capitol Building. NOTE: These tactics are commonly used in hostile, unknown environments to clear rooms + reach
mission objectives. They can include hand signals or physical contact, to unify the group + communicate directions. These are TRAINED behaviors (my emphasis) @USAO_DC

@ eaglesoars:
President Trump has long maintained a public presence on Telegram through an openly accessible group page, and he has continued posting on Telegram after his expulsions from Facebook and Twitter. While Telegram does offer the president some means of unfettered communication, he finds himself talking only to a diminutive audience, some 500,000 followers. On Twitter and Facebook collectively, he had over 100 million.
Nonetheless, Trump very much remains Trump. He posted new comments to Telegram Tuesday evening, using those remarks to damn companies like Facebook and Twitter. “I think that big tech is doing a horrible thing . . . to our country,” he wrote. “But there’s always a counter move.”
!!!!
THIS…..is CNN
Evidence uncovered so far, including weapons and tactics seen on surveillance video, suggests a level of planning that has led investigators to believe the attack on the US Capitol was not just a protest that spiraled out of control, a federal law enforcement official says.
Among the evidence the FBI is examining are indications that some participants at the Trump rally at the Ellipse, outside the White House, left the event early, perhaps to retrieve items to be used in the assault on the Capitol.
A team of investigators and prosecutors are also focused on the command and control aspect of the attack, looking at travel and communications records to determine if they can build a case that is similar to a counterterrorism investigation, the official said.

Liz Cheney in Deep Kimchee
The wind in Wyoming has been horrendous today—with gusts up to 65 miles per hour. That is nothing compared to the whirlwind created by Representative Cheney’s announcement that she would be voting to impeach President Trump, and her subsequent follow-through of doing just that.
There has not been a time during our tenure when we have seen this type of an outcry from our fellow Republicans, with the anger and frustration being palpable in the comments we have received. Our telephone has not stopped ringing, our email is filling up, and our website has seen more traffic than at any previous time. The consensus is clear that those who are reaching out to the Party vehemently disagree with Representative Cheney’s decision and actions.
.
.
Representative Cheney has aligned herself with leftists who are screaming that what happened last Wednesday is the “worst thing ever in our history” (or similar such claims). That is absurd and shows their lack of knowledge of history as well as their willingness to skew the facts to further their corrupt agenda.

We still disagree, eagle, sorry.
If you look at every single “color revolution” they had nothing to do with what we witness today in the States. What we see with horror is that tech-oligarchs and the political elite of the democrats have lined up to destroy the GOP. Of course they take hostages of Trump supporters and this will humiliate T. even more and scare his supporters and – so they hope – destroy the GOP.
If at all I would compare T. with Tiberius Gracchus and his younger brother Gaius and what happened to their supporters after their assasination by the nobility.

This isn’t about Trump. He’s just easier for them to attack because he makes his opinions so public. Go back to George W. He was damn near a democrat but if you look at how the dems behaved he was a radical right wing lunatic who was going to destroy the country. They were prepared to do this NO MATTER who was the republican president. Trump was just easier than others, with the massive number of tweets and speeches he did it was simpler to take his words, twist and omit and create a fake persona to feed to their sheep.
They’ve also been after an impeachment scalp since their god Klinton was impeached.

But Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, and Jeff Bezos sure handed the CPP enough rope to try and hang us with:
Communist China’s state-run Global Times on Tuesday denounced Big Tech’s censorship of President Donald Trump as an exercise of “US digital hegemony,” demanding tech giants such as Twitter, Google, Apple, and Amazon to recognize the “sovereignty” of other nations in the cyberspace.
The article lambasted establishment forces for uniting to fight their “common enemy” with “unprecedented efforts” by “executing Trump digitally” across social media networks. The rampage ushered apprehension worldwide that could have impact world politics, the piece continued. “Chinese analysts” have reminded the public that “Trumpism won’t disappear.” Instead, the movement “will keep tearing apart the US.”

OK, you have probably all seen pictures of US troops laying on the floor in the capitol building.
Is that the best the great United States of America can do for their military?
They are going to be there for the next 5 days……
21,000 of them.
Just did a quick look on the Internet and you can get army cots for about $30. Same with sun loungers that are comfortable for resting on and then go flat for sleeping. A twin sized 8 inch Intex air mattress is about $10
so, 21000 troops each get a $30 bed is $630,000 and I think that could probably be raised in a few hours on GoFundMe.
But wait!!!! If our servicemen “hot bunked” and spent 12 hours in bed and 12 hours on duty that would be $315,000
It gets better, if they triple bunked with 8 hours in bed it would be only $210,000
And after the inauguration they could sell the cots on Ebay. Profit! souvenirs of the inauguration,
So, I do not want to see on Main Stream Media any more pictures of soldiers sleeping on the floor.
Aw shit, I forgot. They are going to need fluffy blankets and pillows.

There is a type of emotional insanity that is in the DSM where a persons constant fears overwhelm them. In their thought making process reason is replaced by negative emotions. They can even start creating false memories by the boatload as they lose touch with reality.
Borderline personality disorder. Like all of these spectrum things a little bit of it is in everyone. But there are large subsets like Pelosi that feed off this and create the crazy future for themselves. No basis in reality. One of the symptoms is that they accuse other peoples of what they do themselves. A type of coping mechanism because their suppressed reason can’t believe them anymore. Unchecked irrational fear is the virus.
The target has always been the people of the country. The attacks on the President are just the path to that.

25 Organizations Say Victoria Nuland Should Be Rejected
The Maidan protests, at which Nuland handed out cookies to protesters, were violently escalated by neo-Nazis and by snipers who opened fire on police. When Poland, Germany, and France negotiated a deal for the Maidan demands and an early election, neo-Nazis instead attacked the government and took over. The U.S. State Department immediately recognized the coup government, and Arseniy Yatsenyuk was installed as Prime Minister.
Nuland has worked with the openly pro-Nazi Svoboda Party in Ukraine. She was long a leading proponent of arming Ukraine. She was also an advocate for removing from office the prosecutor general of Ukraine, whom then-Vice President Joe Biden pushed the president to remove.

Race #1 of the Prada Cup races between Britannia (UK) , American Magic (USA) and Prada (Italy) to see who will challenge the Team NZ boat for the Americas Cup .
Shock!
The Britannia boat won the start and took the RHS of the course headed direct towards North Head on Auckland’s North Shore. That was where the pressure was and it showed. American Magic came off their foils for a second and immediately lost 300M. Britannia held onto the Western side of the course and sailed away to be 1 min 20 sec ahead to take Race #1 of the Challenger Series.
I have no idea what the Brits did over Christmas. In December they had a dog of a boat and now they have a greyhound!
Amazing.
Race #2 is coming up in 30 minutes.

Fantastic day for racing on the Waitamata Harbour. 14 knots of wind so it’s just a couple of knots into the intermediate bracket of winds. Calm seas and the boats are flying at 40 knots.

The Coops worked well where I grew up. Family farms were 80-200 acres. Everyone had their garden, an apple grove, chickens, cows, pigs.
The farmers would help each other harvest. Knew each other like family. The one state area was capable of feeding the whole country but transportation to market economics were not favorable. The factory farms came in and overloaded the ecosystem with genetic manipulation to increase yields and shelf life. The old 80 acre family farms were razed. There are still 200-1000 acre hybrid family farms.
I think these farms will get heavily roboted and AI’d in the next few decades. A human will produce a box of food and place it into an AI shipping rail and container system. IT removed all my rural skills. I need to learn how to make some local food again.

Luna Rossa has better boat speed but Britania is pointing higher and there has a shorter distance to sail. Luna Rossa briefly ‘touched down’ rounding the first mark and lost 300 metres as a consequence.Luna Rossa is 22 seconds behind and looks faster up wind but slower downwind. Britannia is flying down wind at 40 knots and it points higher heading upwind but Luna Rossa is faster up wind.
The RHS looks slower since race #1 as the tide has changes and is now flowing.
Still a great race. A little more sea (chop) is showing since Race #1 too

I like the Ready Player One scenario where people live in stacks? Essentially mobile homes welded on top of one another randomly.
Luna Rossa looks as if they have given away some stability as they trade it off to boat speed. Bugger they just touched down again with both foils and hull in the water. BINGO goes another 250 metres in the space of 10 seconds.
Luna Rossa seems to slip sideways across the water in jibes and seems to have lost traction with the foil in the water. Maybe the water foil angle of attack is too acute and water is stalling off the foil
@ Aussie Infidel:
The mechanics of that is pretty amazing. It probably has applications in space.
All the sea stuff is useful. Sextants, Knots, Lime storage.
Bad downwind jibe by the Brits on Britannia. Unforced error.
Luna Rossa back to just 13 seconds behind (100 metres) Britannia is still slightly faster downwind. Defending well . 404 knots fron=m both yachts.
Whoever makes a minor mistake will loose!

Final jibe from Britannia and the finish line is in sight. All they have to do is don’t make a mistake.
And Britannia wins Race #2. Luna Rossa 22 seconds behind.
Britannia is now a very unexpected favourite. They were sailing at their lower edge of their favoured speed range. What can Britannia do when it gets into 20+ knot winds! ‘
It will be close to 60+ knots through the water.

Also there is no country referenced as UDA that a lighter than air craft would be going across.

To all those Trump supporters now calling for unity, the single most important act towards unity is for you to state unequivocally that Biden won a free and fair election. Until you say that, all of your other words are empty.

Oh, and for my money it’s racist.
It’s funny. Biden hasn’t even been sworn in yet and some of my predictions are already coming true.
eaglesoars wrote:
If Biden had won a free and fair election we would be happy to say so. If this person is interested in unity, he would welcome a free and open inquiry into the voting process in those states where the election results are questionable instead of celebrating ‘victory’ when judges dismiss cases brought before them without allowing full hearings into the matter. So until then, this idiot can just go pi$$ up a rope.

American Thinker has caved
———
We received a lengthy letter from Dominion’s defamation lawyers explaining why they believe that their client has been the victim of defamatory statements. Having considered the full import of the letter, we have agreed to their request that we publish the following statement:
American Thinker and contributors Andrea Widburg, R.D. Wedge, Brian Tomlinson, and Peggy Ryan have published pieces on http://www.AmericanThinker.com that falsely accuse US Dominion Inc., Dominion Voting Systems, Inc., and Dominion Voting Systems Corporation (collectively “Dominion”) of conspiring to steal the November 2020 election from Donald Trump. These pieces rely on discredited sources who have peddled debunked theories about Dominion’s supposed ties to Venezuela, fraud on Dominion’s machines that resulted in massive vote switching or weighted votes, and other claims falsely stating that there is credible evidence that Dominion acted fraudulently.
These statements are completely false and have no basis in fact.

@ eaglesoars:
Cloudflare is a proxy service. At least 15 years ago it was. They intercept your ingoing and outgoing traffic and filter out the DDOS bots. Made life a lot easier. Removed 80 percent of the traffic from one of my sites. So the bot spam was huge. I remember implementing it for a client and his Google Stats dropped 95 percent. 19 of 20 users were bots or spam or fakes. Was a rough meeting to explain the loss of popularity. There are alternatives in the open source world.
But you can just remove cloudflare. No website or blog needs its to operate. They will just get a massive increase in spam. I would just hire a person then to run my own proxy server. Set it up to deny all at first. Then ok legit traffic. VPN’s make that harder. But one would assume a lot of traffic gets cloudfared out by other destinations. So a source like CNN is probably free of spam.
Trump could buy a data center that just hosts blogs and email. Stick it in Texas and Idaho and Nebraska. He can cable and comm link past the lefties. Build his own cell towers. Quality ones. Not like the crap cell companies build. Sounds like Gab has the expertise.

Some Democrats in Congress are worried their colleagues might kill them
WASHINGTON — After last week’s deadly assault on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of President Donald Trump, members of Congress are expressing something once unthinkable: that some of their own colleagues may be endangering their lives. Not in a rhetorical sense, but in a direct and immediate way.
“It’s the most poisonous I’ve ever seen,” Rep. Don Beyer, D-Va., said in an interview. “There’s the overall sense that maybe if some of them have guns — and likely the ones who are more into conspiracy theories and QAnon with the pedophilic satanic rings — are we safe from them?”
Since the deadly riot Jan. 6, lawmakers have suggested — not, so far, backed up by evidence — that far-right colleagues may have helped plan or guide the attack. There are particular concerns about some newly elected members who have espoused extremist views, including comments supportive of the QAnon lie that accuses perceived enemies of Trump of being part of a child-abusing cult.

Day #2 of the Prada Cup racing on the Waitamata Harbour.
Just finished Day #2 with alight and flukey winds SA at 608 knots and later swing back to West at 8-12 knots and smooth sea conditions.
The Italians sailing Luna Rossa sailed a fantastic race although they did come off their foils twice but recovered quickly. Alas American Magic had a shit of a race. Spent half their time off their foils and drifting in the mid course. In the end they ran out of time on a shortened course and scored a DNF (Did Not Finish).
Race #2 American Magic looking aggressive in the start against Britannia when the Brits were looking tentative in the light condition that do not favour their boat. Britannia picked the right side and American Magic fell off their foils and got left behind. By the first mark they were almost a full length behind. The didn’t quit and when Britannia hit a soft patch and fell off their foils for about 8 minutes and drifter at a mere 8 knots were being hunted down by American Magic. Britannia then found a puff off Takapuna Beach and got foiling again and made the finish with just 15 seconds to spare. American Magic then had a maximum of 5 minutes to finish or pick up another DNF. They did it ….. just with 1 second to spare, Still a loss however.
Standings:-
Britannia 3 Luna Rossa 1 American Magic 0
SW at 6-8 knots and later West 8-12 knots
