A “15-minute city” is a self-sustaining concentration camp.
And the guards are Artificial Intelligence.
“and you’ll never be happier”.
Wake up.
The World Economic Forum are Nazis without the uniform.
Just listen to Klaus Schwab speak. What sounds more like a Nazi leader than that?

Putin is going to slow down Western support to Ukraine by dragging the French and the Americans into a crisis, and potentially an important conflict in the Sahel. Which will weaken Europe. Everything is connected. He's just using a map and everyone is just oblivious to it.
It's clear.

The Obama Factor
There is a fascinating passage in Rising Star, David Garrow’s comprehensive biography of Barack Obama’s early years, in which the historian examines Obama’s account in Dreams from My Father of his breakup with his longtime Chicago girlfriend, Sheila Miyoshi Jager. In Dreams, Obama describes a passionate disagreement following a play by African American playwright August Wilson, in which the young protagonist defends his incipient embrace of Black racial consciousness against his girlfriend’s white-identified liberal universalism. As readers, we know that the stakes of this decision would become more than simply personal: The Black American man that Obama wills into being in this scene would go on to marry a Black woman from the South Side of Chicago named Michelle Robinson and, after a meteoric rise, win election as the first Black president of the United States. …

My third way: just observe, Russians are not in Syria or the Central African Republic for nothing. They have immediate priorities (Ukraine) and long-term ones (No US-NATO order)

One day you hear Vox doing entire vids on Wagner infiltrating Africa. The next day, it's similar media insisting how none of this is connected to Russia.

Keith Olbermann⌚️·23h
This violates the terms of his release.
No name is mentioned; none is. He's threatening the Justice department, the special counsel, the judges, the president.
Revoke Trump's release and detain him until trial.
He is the most dangerous terrorist in this country.

Making History in the Wrong Way: The Second Trump Indictment is a Threat to Free Speech
Below is my column in USA Today on the second indictment of former President Donald Trump. While many are celebrating the charges, the implications for free speech are chilling. While Smith did not charge incitement or insurrection (or seditious conspiracy), commentators (and Smith) portrayed the case as holding Trump accountable for the actual riot in the Capitol. Notably, the same pundits and politicians previously insisted that the rejected crimes were obvious and well-established. Indeed, Trump was impeached on incitement charges. They are now shrugging off the conspicuous omission of those charges while attacking those of us with free speech concerns as apologists.
Here is the column:
Special counsel Jack Smith made history on Tuesday.
It wasn’t just the federal indictment of a former president. Smith already did that in June with the indictment of Donald Trump on charges that he mishandled classified documents.
No, Smith and his team have made history in the worst way by attempting to fully criminalize disinformation by seeking the incarceration of a politician on false claims made during and after an election.
The hatred for Trump is so all-encompassing that legal experts on the political left have ignored the chilling implications of this indictment. This complaint is based largely on statements that are protected under the First Amendment. It would eviscerate free speech and could allow the government to arrest those who are accused of spreading disinformation in elections.
In the 2012 United States v. Alvarez decision, the Supreme Court held 6-3 that it is unconstitutional to criminalize lies in a case involving a politician who lied about military decorations.
The court warned such criminalization “would give government a broad censorial power unprecedented in this Court’s cases or in our constitutional tradition. The mere potential for the exercise of that power casts a chill, a chill the First Amendment cannot permit if free speech, thought, and discourse are to remain a foundation of our freedom.”
That precedent did not deter Smith. This indictment is reminiscent of the case against former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell. His conviction on 11 corruption-related counts was unanimously overturned by the Supreme Court in 2016, with Chief Justice John Roberts writing that federal prosecutors relied on a “boundless” definition of actions that could trigger criminal charges against political leaders.
Smith is now showing the same abandon in pursuing Trump, including detailing his speech on Jan. 6, 2021, before the riot while omitting the line where Trump told his supporters to go to the U.S. Capitol to “peacefully” protest the certification.

So that everyone understands: I’m not just publishing a book. One motion was just filed in Mesa City Court. Two Petitions for Special Action will be filed in the next 30 days. Complaints will be filed with the Commission on Judicial Performance. And Complaints will be filed with the Arizona State Bar. Also, the AG’s office will receive a copy of all filings. Tomorrow, a letter will be sent to Judge Alicia Lawler demanding that she preserve evidence of communications between her and third parties on three specific dates.
I am not holding back anything. I am attacking the corruption and those who have participated in it. I will not stop until Justice is served. And that includes the return of my son who was abducted three times, the last two in violation of custody orders.
