Perhaps, instead of the Nobel Peace Prize, DJT deserves the Adolf Hitler prize for directly causing immeasurable pain and suffering within the borders of his own country?
Krasnov is the Manchurian Candidate. He is a traitor and is doing a great job of destroying the United States, domestically and internationally, opening the way for Putin to take control of Eurasia.
His reward is to be the dictator of Oceania, aka Technate of America.
I was going to say that negative public opinion, nationally and internationally, rolls off his back like water, but that is wrong, it pisses him off and he doubles down, to seek revenge and achieve his goal.
He said at Davos that he isn't going to use force to get Greenland. Now if you believe that, you are naive and gullible. The more resistance he encounters in his attempt to take Greenland, the more determined and insistent he his, and the only way to get Greenland is by force. Draw your own conclusion.
Next act is for him to deploy the army against the people that pay their wages, and watch as the Generals, Colonels, Majors, Captains, Lieutenants, disregard their oath of office.And the Sergeants , Corporals and Privates obey theirs: To obey the order of the President and officers appointed over them.
We are in deep shit, no one General or Flag officer got up and walked out of the room at Quantico, when Trump and Hegseth, debased them, and basically told them, obey me or your oath of office.
Should these Mighty Generals, have the courage and loyalty of mere civilians, Walz and Frey
It’s true, they didn’t walk out and my knee jerk was the same—capitulation. However, they aren’t cyber they are men and no one can control their mind and what they really think, not yet, at any rate.
If push comes to shove, there really isn’t any predicting what each will decide for themselves and then order as an officer. I’m sure they are just as divided as our country’s population. But they did take an oath to support and uphold the Constitution. That’s what’s important. That’s who they are. I hope.
It is more than a knee jerk. Trump and Hegseth insulted and degraded them, they were debased and yet they stood there and took it.
One flag officer, out of all the 800 has retired, rather than submit to ilegal orders, yet he did stand there while he was debased and insulted, Rear Adm Holsey.
Trump gave them all an opportunity to walk out, it would have ended their chances of promotion. They chose their career over their oath and dignity.
The mere fact that the Generals and Colonels and other officers will obey Trumps command to mobilize two battalions of the 11th Airborne in Alaska for deployment against U.S. Citizens tells us all we need to know, not forgetting that the USMC went along with deploying 700 Marines into L.A.
US military commanders also obeyed illegal orders by blowing civilian boats out of international waters, invading Venezuela, and kidnapping the leader of a sovereign nation. The big question is what they will do if (when?) Krasnov orders a nuke launch.
If Trump gave the generals an opportunity to walk out and they didn't, I like to think it's because some think they can do more good (for the country) by working from the inside, and not exposing themselves.
I know better Proof is that onlyRear Adm Holsey has retired, and Trump has shown his hand.
The one thing Generals and Flag officers fear is retirement. One day you are atop the food chain, the next you are at the bottom, an ordinary tax paying citizen with no one to command or salute you.
The entre electorate in Greenland is smaller than in my home county in Pennsyltucky, which Republicans have been able to buy, literally as long as I can remember.
Musk could have bought the electorate in Greenland just like he repotedly did with Pa in 2024. Putin could have done it, also.
But had he done it surrpticiously, he wouldn't have had to publicly confront NATO.
NYT: Breaking news: Trump drops tariff threat over Greenland, after assailing Europe. Nasdaq went from down to +265.
"Trump said Wednesday that he was calling off tariff threats that he had issued in an effort to secure American ownership of Greenland, saying he had reached a framework agreement with Mark Rutte, the secretary general of NATO, over the future of the icy Danish territory."
You should subscribe to medium.com. Daily articles from Ukrainians about the war, stuff you don't see in our corporate media.
In 2014, unmarked soldiers — “little green men” — appeared on the streets of Crimea. They wore no insignia, drove unmarked vehicles, and denied any connection to the Russian state. Moscow claimed they were “local self-defense groups,” spontaneously rising up to protect ethnic Russians. Within days, Crimea was annexed, Ukraine was wounded, and the international order began to buckle. Russia had lied — brazenly, obviously, and effectively. And the West, at first, hesitated.
Well those little green men with balaclavas and masks are showing up on Estonia's borders, and Estonia said that they will shoot to kill. Putin is also using drones and electronic warfare on the Baltic States.
Estonia is strategically more vital to Russia, but it is also miliitarily weak: Estonia's military is relatively small in active personnel (around 7,000-8,000) but relies heavily on a large, trained reserve and the volunteer Defence League (over 15,000), with plans to expand wartime strength significantly, aiming for rapid mobilization capabilities for up to 36,000+ troops, integrating Land Forces, Navy, Air Force, and cyber defence within its NATO commitment.
Latvia and Lithuania, and Poland are aware of the threat.
WWIII has already started, Putin is committing acts of war against Europe, especially Germany and Poland,, sabotage, subversion, electronic warfare.
The Baltic states have always been at risk and, at least on the surface, ripe for the plucking. However Russia can’t make the same claim for it as it does for the Crimea and much of eastern Ukraine. If they try to
Invade Poland all we can hope for is that the “grownups” in tjhe room don’t want to bomb us back to the Pre-Cambrian. I’m having trouble with the site so I am on a short leash until I get it worked out.
Trump doesn't have to make a claim for the Baltic states.. Anyway all three Baltic states—Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania—were part of the Russian Empire for extended periods and were later annexed and ruled as Soviet Socialist Republics by the Soviet Union until regaining full independence in 1991. They first came under Russian control after the Great Northern War (1720-1721) and partitions of Poland, and then again after World War II
The thorn in Putin's side is the Suwalki Gap, This is the flat land, historically used as an invasion route, that at present is the border between Poland and Lithuania, it is what separates Kaliningrad on the Baltic from Poland.
It is the only warm water port that Russia owns,other than their ports on the Black and Caspian Seas.
Kaliningrad's history began as the German city of Königsberg, founded by Teutonic Knights in 1255, becoming a Prussian capital and cultural center, home to Immanuel Kant, until its near-total destruction in WWII, after which the Soviets annexed it, expelled the German population, and renamed it after Mikhail Kalinin, transforming it into a Russian exclave with a significant military presence.
Standing between Kaliningrad and Belorus is Lithuania, and an attack on Lithuania is an attack on Poland.
Indeed they were part of the Russian Empire but not voluntarily. Looking under the hood Estonia doesn’t even speak an Indo-European language, they speak Finno-Uralic. Had they been voluntarily a part of Russia my guess is that Russian would be more commonly spoken. Lithuania again was not voluntarily part of the USSR. Even now Russian speakers make up less than 10% of the population. And ah! The Seven Bridges of Könisberg!
No nation was voluntarily part of the Russian Empire
The Russian empire is a legacy of Mongol domination, and 6% of the people have the DNA of Jenghis Khan, and you can see it, especially in the physiognomy, especiall the forehead. A prime example is Putin
The prospect of war is calculated not only by the size of a country's military but also its economy. Russia's GDP, at approximately $2 trillion, is only half the size of California's, at $4 trillion. Whereas the EU's economy, at $20 trillion, is roughly two-thirds the size of the US economy, at $31 trillion. Russia may not want to awaken a sleeping giant. That was Japan's big mistake when it invaded Pearl Harbor.
Why do so many MAGA Trump supporters view themselves as Christians? It has become clear that the icemen/gestapo of the lame duck felon are not just searching for criminals who might disturb the peace of our neighborhoods and our neighbors of “many creeds and colors”. It is they who hide behind their masks, their big guns and war-like uniforms who are told to purposely create violence. They are the little people of our society who now are paid big money (more money than they ever were paid before) to destroy our freedoms and security.
Their leaders are not real christians who follow the teachings of Jesus - to “love they neighbor as thyself”. (Jesus never excluded those with brown or black skins, those who spoke in foreign tongues, or those who might have followed other peaceful Gods).
I think of the time he upturned the tables of the usurers. Our modern life is full of them. They are the ones whose table should be overturned - the moneygrubbers, who dream of owning billions of crypto money, of cheating our neighbors of their honest hard work and leaving them impoverished, not even having enough money or livelihood to feed or provide education for our children.
Would that people of all our religions could heed the words of others - for example the Catholic Pope Leo XIV who leads as he often says out loudly his support of people of “many creeds and colors”.
Even if we are not Catholics, but especially if we are true CHhristians, we should speak out and chase away these self-serving billionaires and their puppet White House “leader” sickly felon (with his Trumpstein files) to preserve the human dignity of all our neighbors of our own integrated communities.
The love of money is the root of all evil, and it's a thread that's tightly woven through the American consumer culture that glorifies wealth over virtue. Billionaires would shudder at the thought of walking in the footsteps of Jesus and following his 'give it all away' teachings. And so would most Americans with investment portfolios who are financially comfortable.
In some native American cultures hoarding was a crime punishable by banishment, a virtual death sentence.
“I never intend to adjust myself to economic conditions that will take necessities from the many to give luxuries to the few and leave millions of God’s children smothering in an airtight cage of poverty in the midst of an affluent society.”
Thom, not once do you suggest that trump has gone bonkers. As a mental health therapist, I don't rely on just what the client tells me but by observing their behavior in order to make a clinical diagnosis. Based on trump's behavior, I am declaring a truth: A nutcase is flushing our country down the toilet without the guardrails of an impotent Congress and an omnipotent Supreme Court. Let's see what kind of reception trump will face in Davos....
The Commander and Thief had his goons on the Sunday talk shows saying that the Europeans would hand him Greenland. Then later in the wee hours of the morning, TRump released text messages of Macron and Rutte talking with him and treating him like the spoiled child he acts like.
It looks like they are still using honey instead of vinegar to deal with him. That message release was to embarrass them. No doubt it was also a gift for Putin, so he could see the actual words. It makes the Europeans look like a bunch of cucks.
This is a monumental moment. He is being the psychopathic sadist he always is, watching them squirm, while they try to stop the beginning of a war and to save lives. I have NEVER hated him more. The International Criminal Court in The Hague should arrest him. See you in the streets.
I understand Richard, but have you read about the Secret Service? A kid on a roof almost got him. Vulnerable while on that podium. The problem would be with keeping him. No doubt Vance would threaten the "free world", much less The Netherlands.
He taco'd out for now. What else they have up their sleeve to get Greenland remains to be seen. We had 17 installations there at one time---are they going to let us do that again?
The Hague has former President Duterte of the Philippines, but they handed him over. They have a warrant out for Putin and one of his ministers for stealing the Ukrainian children.
Funny and sad how the world seems to be turning on Putin's command, using Trump as his cat's paw. Not making America great at all, but making the world more like Russia--a griftocracy, a shell of an empire, a joke of a democracy.
“Went after” Paul Pelosi is an understatement. The Trump-backed attacker nearly killed Paul Pelosi. “Went after” = “struck him on the head with a hammer.”
No question that the MAGAs are tolerating treason, but so are the Democrats. The MSM has been very careful not to use the "T" word in reference to supporting Putin in Ukraine and elsewhere. At this point in time, there must be at least 50 impeachable offenses Trump is guilty of, yet only a minor Democrat has even mentioned submitting articles to impeach. Of course, that act would be ceremonial, as the vast majority of MAGA legislators will vote against impeachment.
What I find most disturbing is that, Epstein aside, the MSM has not investigated why Trump is Putin's useful idiot. It is more than pee tapes. Trump is obviously an economics moron with a long history of business failures and real estate scams. But nobody investigates who it is that keeps bailing Trump out.
I have mentioned before the assassination of the Deutsche Bank CEO Herrhaussen in 1989 by Russian assassins. It is not a dark secret that DB was suspected of money laundering for RU (likely via the NYC Russian mob - using Real Estate), and that the movie-stunt car bombing while driving down city streets was to terrify other bankers from daring to turn state's evidence. Why was the entire event hushed up and buried soon after?
Well, Trump is already indicted on 91 counts (like Insurrection, gov't documents, soliciting votes, etc.) that will never even come to trial because of his immunity; I don't recall if that includes those on which he was convicted.
Immunity is not relevant. Congress can impeach merely by voting. No convictions are needed. Can MAGA legislators hope to get re-elected if all Trump's corruption gets aired on TV? I doubt it. Nixon did not want to face that.
That is possible for a few, but the point is to get media attention on the fact that Trump should be in assisted living and on medication for his psychoses and dementia. It is totally unfit to be president. Medical testimony at a trial would be damning. I have participated in civil commitments for people half as sick as Trump. If we wait until 2028, there might not be enough government to restore. It could take a decade or more and trillions of dollars to put DC back together again.
Our record of holding the powerful accountable is unimpressive, as exemplified by the not-held post-Civil War trials. Ford let Nixon walk. Iran-Contra slid off the teflon president’s back. The Obama administration saw no value in litigating the Iraq travesty. The Biden administration, its DOJ helmed by the overwhelmed Merrick Garland, dithered and delayed litigation of an attempt to overthrow the government, choosing to pursue the foot soldiers while ignoring the masterminds. When a congressional committee attempted to pick up the slack, the Supreme Court torpedoed their efforts (and not incidentally, the corrupt Thomas and Alito retain their robes), the Federalist democracy-hating majority having established a cancerous cocoon of immunity for the president. Great precedent, that - the man responsible for the attempted overthrow was re-elected to the presidency and is currently destroying the nation. Meanwhile, Democratic “leadership” maintains its wait-and-see attitude, meekly identifying problems while proposing no solutions, pursuing no efforts to apply leverage. Christopher Armitage lays out attack strategies for blue state governors to pursue; they and those may be all that holds Trump accountable.
Seventy Three years ago Joseph Stalin died. With his death the trumped up (pun intended) Doctors plot ended. Nine doctors six who were Jewish were arrested and charged with murdering their patients who were high officials in Stalin's dictator Government. Torture was used to get admissions of guilt. Underlying this theater was Stalin's plan to purge many of his own party members. Today Trump could use a similar ruse to mostly wipe out his present congressional enablers using the Greenland take over as cover. Think Democrat and Republican lawmakers on the same plane to a far off prison cells. The present silence is a KILLER!!!
Last night we saw an interview re the CIA. In the 50's CIA did "experiments" on our own people. Infected a fog in San Franciso that made hundreds if not thousands sick. Agents committed suicide while on LSD. Lots more.
We used torture during Iraq, Afghanistan.
We've been working on mind control since 1952.
Key programs included:
Project BLUEBIRD/ARTICHOKE (established 1950 and 1951): These early projects explored interrogation techniques, hypnosis, and the use of chemicals on detainees.
Project MKDELTA (established October 1952): This project focused on the use of biochemicals in clandestine operations.
Project MKULTRA (established April 1953): This was the most notorious and extensive program, lasting until around 1973. Overseen by chemist Sidney Gottlieb, the CIA experimented on thousands of unwitting subjects, including U.S. and Canadian citizens, at over 80 institutions like universities, hospitals, and prisons. Methods included:
Covert administration of high doses of psychoactive drugs, especially LSD.
Electroshock, sensory deprivation, isolation, and hypnosis.
Psychological torture to "blast away the existing mind".
The existence and details of MKULTRA were publicly revealed in the 1970s through investigations by the Church Committee and the Rockefeller Commission, following a 1974 New York Times exposé. The programs were largely considered ineffective for true "mind control" as it is often portrayed in fiction. Many of the program's files were destroyed in 1973 on orders from then-CIA Director Richard Helms, so the full scope remains a mystery.
I hope Crispy Gnome is impeached. Watching the news footage coming out of Minn., I can see all of these "agents" dressed in camo, belts with grenades and other weapons, handguns, long guns, etc. It looks like these mercenaries should be in Iraq or Afghanistan, not the U.S. of A.
I also noticed the smiles on the face(es) of Bovine and minions as they are about to bash in a door, or otherwise cause harm to a human being. What is this??
I also recall when this agency was called the "Immigration and Naturalization SERVICE"! I had a friend who worked for them in the San Francisco office. She was a peach, but an officer nonetheless.
If everything Trump has done can be seen as promoting or advancing the specific stated interests of Putin and as opposed to our own interests and values -- and the dots are not just connected, they are directly connected by heavy bright red lines - - then he is a traitor and has committed identifiable acts of treason, and those Republicans who have refused to take any actions or to speak out against him are guilty of the same offenses. There is no excuse for pussyfooting around or being diplomatic with these cowardly misfits any longer. The lists of names should be published naming each of them as complicit and as aiding and abetting the crimes and conspiring in the myriad acts against the Constitution. Also, as Lawrence O'Donnel stated Monday evening, he will never invade Greenland and Venezuela is not about oil. It's all about papering over the Epstein affair. That's the only thing I want to know about. Where are the pictures, tapes, emails, texts, and testimonies?
If a single Dem votes to fund the ICE bill, they are declaring war on the American people. The consequences will be dire for everyone and the nation. Unexpected things will occur in the extreme. I fear for the nation and the world will not survive as it has. That world will die.
Trump is severely mentally ill. I don't understand why none of the media is looking into this and publishing about this. There has to be more written about this. The whole Greenland thing demonstrates that he is deranged and non compos mentis. Someone must stop him.
Perhaps, instead of the Nobel Peace Prize, DJT deserves the Adolf Hitler prize for directly causing immeasurable pain and suffering within the borders of his own country?
Economically, he's making Canada great.
Krasnov is the Manchurian Candidate. He is a traitor and is doing a great job of destroying the United States, domestically and internationally, opening the way for Putin to take control of Eurasia.

Push a button, but that will never happen.
All involved in bombing those boats are guilty of murder, Not a war crime, because we weren't at war, so it was cold blooded murder
If Trump gave the generals an opportunity to walk out and they didn't, I like to think it's because some think they can do more good (for the country) by working from the inside, and not exposing themselves.
You'd like to think. Assuming good faith.
I know better Proof is that onlyRear Adm Holsey has retired, and Trump has shown his hand.

So right.
Russia is a wasteland. Putin has destroyed and robbed the people of what could have made them part of the free world.
They simply do not have the money or people. Europe's population roughly 750 million-Russia 150 million.
Short of their nukes they would be creamed
If it quacks like a Putin, it's probably a spy.

Just a thought (or two) ....
Why do so many MAGA Trump supporters view themselves as Christians? It has become clear that the icemen/gestapo of the lame duck felon are not just searching for criminals who might disturb the peace of our neighborhoods and our neighbors of “many creeds and colors”. It is they who hide behind their masks, their big guns and war-like uniforms who are told to purposely create violence. They are the little people of our society who now are paid big money (more money than they ever were paid before) to destroy our freedoms and security.
Their leaders are not real christians who follow the teachings of Jesus - to “love they neighbor as thyself”. (Jesus never excluded those with brown or black skins, those who spoke in foreign tongues, or those who might have followed other peaceful Gods).
I think of the time he upturned the tables of the usurers. Our modern life is full of them. They are the ones whose table should be overturned - the moneygrubbers, who dream of owning billions of crypto money, of cheating our neighbors of their honest hard work and leaving them impoverished, not even having enough money or livelihood to feed or provide education for our children.
Would that people of all our religions could heed the words of others - for example the Catholic Pope Leo XIV who leads as he often says out loudly his support of people of “many creeds and colors”.
Even if we are not Catholics, but especially if we are true CHhristians, we should speak out and chase away these self-serving billionaires and their puppet White House “leader” sickly felon (with his Trumpstein files) to preserve the human dignity of all our neighbors of our own integrated communities.
Republican creed: Do unto others before they do it to you.
The love of money is the root of all evil, and it's a thread that's tightly woven through the American consumer culture that glorifies wealth over virtue. Billionaires would shudder at the thought of walking in the footsteps of Jesus and following his 'give it all away' teachings. And so would most Americans with investment portfolios who are financially comfortable.
Greed has no moral compunction.
In some native American cultures hoarding was a crime punishable by banishment, a virtual death sentence.

God help us all.
The issue for commitment is whether he's a threat to himself or others to a reasonable degree of medical certainty. He would have due process rights. https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/involuntary_civil_commitment
When he acted out in the NY trials, he should have been evaluated.
It's possible that a court could order the same.
Are "bonkers" and "nutcase" included in The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders?
Whackjob, fruitcake, loony tune, fckhead...
Thanks for that. Laughter is the best medicine.
All eyes are on Davos.....

Vinegar? How about nitric acid instead?
I’m pretty sure Europe would clean Russia’s clock but I definitely don’t want to find out, Too many nukes, too many narcissists.
Again, Russia hasn’t done an impressive job in Ukraine. They are in no shape to get into a two front war.
How would arresting Trump be accomplished? He's probably got more guards, FBI and Sec Serv around him than Carter had pills.
You'd think ICE would nab him, being that his orange hue makes him a person of color.
I understand Richard, but have you read about the Secret Service? A kid on a roof almost got him. Vulnerable while on that podium. The problem would be with keeping him. No doubt Vance would threaten the "free world", much less The Netherlands.
He taco'd out for now. What else they have up their sleeve to get Greenland remains to be seen. We had 17 installations there at one time---are they going to let us do that again?
The Hague has former President Duterte of the Philippines, but they handed him over. They have a warrant out for Putin and one of his ministers for stealing the Ukrainian children.
At least Canadian Premier Mark Carney's Davos speech was a major pushback against Trump's pathetic attempts at furthering US hegemony. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/01/mark-carney-davos-speech/
Elbows Up! Kinda jealous of Canada right now.
TRump tried to sass back, but like the rest of his speech, he just sounded like some demented old mob boss instead of a POTUS.
Funny and sad how the world seems to be turning on Putin's command, using Trump as his cat's paw. Not making America great at all, but making the world more like Russia--a griftocracy, a shell of an empire, a joke of a democracy.
Evil man.
“Went after” Paul Pelosi is an understatement. The Trump-backed attacker nearly killed Paul Pelosi. “Went after” = “struck him on the head with a hammer.”
No question that the MAGAs are tolerating treason, but so are the Democrats. The MSM has been very careful not to use the "T" word in reference to supporting Putin in Ukraine and elsewhere. At this point in time, there must be at least 50 impeachable offenses Trump is guilty of, yet only a minor Democrat has even mentioned submitting articles to impeach. Of course, that act would be ceremonial, as the vast majority of MAGA legislators will vote against impeachment.
What I find most disturbing is that, Epstein aside, the MSM has not investigated why Trump is Putin's useful idiot. It is more than pee tapes. Trump is obviously an economics moron with a long history of business failures and real estate scams. But nobody investigates who it is that keeps bailing Trump out.
I have mentioned before the assassination of the Deutsche Bank CEO Herrhaussen in 1989 by Russian assassins. It is not a dark secret that DB was suspected of money laundering for RU (likely via the NYC Russian mob - using Real Estate), and that the movie-stunt car bombing while driving down city streets was to terrify other bankers from daring to turn state's evidence. Why was the entire event hushed up and buried soon after?
Well, Trump is already indicted on 91 counts (like Insurrection, gov't documents, soliciting votes, etc.) that will never even come to trial because of his immunity; I don't recall if that includes those on which he was convicted.
Immunity is not relevant. Congress can impeach merely by voting. No convictions are needed. Can MAGA legislators hope to get re-elected if all Trump's corruption gets aired on TV? I doubt it. Nixon did not want to face that.
Perhaps the Democrats are waiting out his term rather than impeach which has been a failure so far.
That is possible for a few, but the point is to get media attention on the fact that Trump should be in assisted living and on medication for his psychoses and dementia. It is totally unfit to be president. Medical testimony at a trial would be damning. I have participated in civil commitments for people half as sick as Trump. If we wait until 2028, there might not be enough government to restore. It could take a decade or more and trillions of dollars to put DC back together again.

Our record of holding the powerful accountable is unimpressive, as exemplified by the not-held post-Civil War trials. Ford let Nixon walk. Iran-Contra slid off the teflon president’s back. The Obama administration saw no value in litigating the Iraq travesty. The Biden administration, its DOJ helmed by the overwhelmed Merrick Garland, dithered and delayed litigation of an attempt to overthrow the government, choosing to pursue the foot soldiers while ignoring the masterminds. When a congressional committee attempted to pick up the slack, the Supreme Court torpedoed their efforts (and not incidentally, the corrupt Thomas and Alito retain their robes), the Federalist democracy-hating majority having established a cancerous cocoon of immunity for the president. Great precedent, that - the man responsible for the attempted overthrow was re-elected to the presidency and is currently destroying the nation. Meanwhile, Democratic “leadership” maintains its wait-and-see attitude, meekly identifying problems while proposing no solutions, pursuing no efforts to apply leverage. Christopher Armitage lays out attack strategies for blue state governors to pursue; they and those may be all that holds Trump accountable.
Seventy Three years ago Joseph Stalin died. With his death the trumped up (pun intended) Doctors plot ended. Nine doctors six who were Jewish were arrested and charged with murdering their patients who were high officials in Stalin's dictator Government. Torture was used to get admissions of guilt. Underlying this theater was Stalin's plan to purge many of his own party members. Today Trump could use a similar ruse to mostly wipe out his present congressional enablers using the Greenland take over as cover. Think Democrat and Republican lawmakers on the same plane to a far off prison cells. The present silence is a KILLER!!!
Last night we saw an interview re the CIA. In the 50's CIA did "experiments" on our own people. Infected a fog in San Franciso that made hundreds if not thousands sick. Agents committed suicide while on LSD. Lots more.
We used torture during Iraq, Afghanistan.
We've been working on mind control since 1952.
Key programs included:
Project BLUEBIRD/ARTICHOKE (established 1950 and 1951): These early projects explored interrogation techniques, hypnosis, and the use of chemicals on detainees.
Project MKDELTA (established October 1952): This project focused on the use of biochemicals in clandestine operations.
Project MKULTRA (established April 1953): This was the most notorious and extensive program, lasting until around 1973. Overseen by chemist Sidney Gottlieb, the CIA experimented on thousands of unwitting subjects, including U.S. and Canadian citizens, at over 80 institutions like universities, hospitals, and prisons. Methods included:
Covert administration of high doses of psychoactive drugs, especially LSD.
Electroshock, sensory deprivation, isolation, and hypnosis.
Psychological torture to "blast away the existing mind".
The existence and details of MKULTRA were publicly revealed in the 1970s through investigations by the Church Committee and the Rockefeller Commission, following a 1974 New York Times exposé. The programs were largely considered ineffective for true "mind control" as it is often portrayed in fiction. Many of the program's files were destroyed in 1973 on orders from then-CIA Director Richard Helms, so the full scope remains a mystery.
I hope Crispy Gnome is impeached. Watching the news footage coming out of Minn., I can see all of these "agents" dressed in camo, belts with grenades and other weapons, handguns, long guns, etc. It looks like these mercenaries should be in Iraq or Afghanistan, not the U.S. of A.
I also noticed the smiles on the face(es) of Bovine and minions as they are about to bash in a door, or otherwise cause harm to a human being. What is this??
I also recall when this agency was called the "Immigration and Naturalization SERVICE"! I had a friend who worked for them in the San Francisco office. She was a peach, but an officer nonetheless.
If everything Trump has done can be seen as promoting or advancing the specific stated interests of Putin and as opposed to our own interests and values -- and the dots are not just connected, they are directly connected by heavy bright red lines - - then he is a traitor and has committed identifiable acts of treason, and those Republicans who have refused to take any actions or to speak out against him are guilty of the same offenses. There is no excuse for pussyfooting around or being diplomatic with these cowardly misfits any longer. The lists of names should be published naming each of them as complicit and as aiding and abetting the crimes and conspiring in the myriad acts against the Constitution. Also, as Lawrence O'Donnel stated Monday evening, he will never invade Greenland and Venezuela is not about oil. It's all about papering over the Epstein affair. That's the only thing I want to know about. Where are the pictures, tapes, emails, texts, and testimonies?
Thank you, Mr. Hartmann. A+
My take on the dumbass, on the "Moscovian President" is, “The horror! The horror!”
Everyone who voted for this abject buffoon must stand in front of a bathroom mirror.
Once in the morning. Once at night.
Then ask aloud, "What the Actual F-ck is WRONG with me?"
And they must do that for the next 3 years.
Oh, and they must submit their U.S. passports.
They won't need them in Siberia.
First in the queue? The Family Murdoch, followed by the 6 posers on the Supreme Court.
Then Mitch and the TOTH (Traitors on the Hill), e.g., Cotton, Hawley, Gym Jordan, et al.
Vote. No matter what they do or say.
If a single Dem votes to fund the ICE bill, they are declaring war on the American people. The consequences will be dire for everyone and the nation. Unexpected things will occur in the extreme. I fear for the nation and the world will not survive as it has. That world will die.
Trump is severely mentally ill. I don't understand why none of the media is looking into this and publishing about this. There has to be more written about this. The whole Greenland thing demonstrates that he is deranged and non compos mentis. Someone must stop him.
