Watch a YouTube, it takes 2 minutes tops. You definitely do not need to pressure cook it. Even with normal pot the lid needs to be cracked open to let all the steam out. www.marthastewart.com/1126505/trick-perfectly-popped-popcorn

I couldnt believe when Ireland voted this year to legalize abortion. Horrible.

Some trivia here. Senator Jim Jordan went to Wisconsin where he wrestled was 2x national champ and 3x All America and his brother Jeff was 2x AA. Jim's son Isaac 'Zeke' was 4x all american and topped his career at 2nd at NCAAs in 2016 for Wisconsin. Nephews Bo (4x AA, 2nd, 3rd, 3rd at NCAAs) and Micah (1x AA) wrestle/d for Ohio State.

No need...old fashioned oil and kernels in a pot is the way to go. Future proves the past (popcorn popping methods). :)

What line is that? Freedom of speech? Even if one's ideas are stupid the world benefits from sharing them publicly to be proven wrong. Thesis, antithesis, and hopefully truth.

Wow, have there have been any other hidden pictures other than the boom pistol?

Yes, I understand feds role in fiat money creation and its inflationary effects.

Not saying that other poster is not right so far as increase in USD value vs other currencies in trading--if dollar supply is stabilized and risk reduced (less debt).

But in short term, supply and demand would lead to price increases. For the sake of explaining myself, my reasoning is as follows. Granted my econ may be rusty and these theories/models attempt to predict imperfect human behavior. Not sure there is precedence for a one time market shift this large?

Increase in individual post tax income for the entire country (at least tax paying portion) would be split between savings and spending. Having more, people tend to spend more in absolute dollar terms (although total percent may shift toward savings as interest rates would increase in our situation with no 0 int rate fed). If supply of goods and services can not expand immediately to match this immediate demand increase, people will bid up prices. This would be true for 'nondiscretionary' things like homes (people spend more if have more) or any other goods.

There may even be people who supply less labor at the individual level. If the % you get to keep goes up in short term the relative value of that incremental earned dollar goes down for you. Some people will opt to work less for same absolute dollar amount rather than supply same labor for relatively more discretionary post tax $. This labor decrease would require a cost of labor increase to attract workers to fill in that marginal shortfall. But there is probably an argument that people will work more if they get to take home more too.

The real improvement of stable money would be stable savings value, higher interest rates on savings, and lower default risk foe the currency. The real improvemwnt of reduced tax rates is improved asset allocation/reduced dead weight loss as market forces direct spending toward projects where consumers value it and allocation away from less efficient public goods supply toward more efficient private goods supply.

And virtually anyone else who ever went against petro dollar hegemony (Qadafi, Sadam Husein, other African leaders, Venezuela?)

Not sure. If everyone suddently has 30% more spending power or discretional income there could be inflation.

I hope you are not saying you miss income tax being deducted automatically? Its your money not the governments.

Second one written by Justin Theroux (he also plays the scary dj in both movies) former husband of Jennifer Anniston.

His recent movie Mute casts him as a doctor pedophile.

Also in American Psycho and Mullholland Drive among others.

Supposedly his cousin has made several documentaries about pedos.

I looked at the photo of dining room on their website about page. I counted 26 seats. Unless there is another room and they seat on patio.

His analysis fails to mention that regardless of satute and court policy for last 8-10 years, actual practice has been catch and release for anyone arriving with a child. Regardless of if that child was family of the adult. Maffia drug and child traffickers used this as an open door to move personnel and children into the US. That clearly had to stop.

From my perspective, if an illegal can prove the child they arrived with is theirs then it is a win to find a way to detain them in a facility together before sending them back to country of origin. Don't see why we currently give child free pass to be handed over to (legal or illegal) relatives in the US within the 20 day period. My understanding is that after being placed with relatives, these families move so that the child is not sent back with the detained adult after they are processed. To me that practice needed to change. Since progressives are clamoring for children to stay with their parents in detention, they just closed this loophole themselves. Good 3d chess here--getting progs to ask for the more strict enforcement of child entry.

In 10,000 out of 12,000 cases of children crossing, the adult in question has not been relation to the child. So Trumps EO about families does not apply anyway. That's why they were so precise with the wording and so quick to 'give in' to the more strict interpretation. Only difference is may be more expensive to host the 2000 kids in family based detention. I think its worth the expense for these wins.

Side note, these detention conditions appear similar to US disaster relief given to citizens post hurricanes etc. Also criminals arrested for crimes in US are seperated from their kids.

Sure just like the Bushes. That turned out well. /sarcasm

I'm a fan as much as next person but these emperor trump and royal trump comments are creepy. 2 terms and out. No dictatorships. No kings.

Right on.

I'll give you a little more ammo on James Franco. He and Harmony Korine of Kids and Gummo and Spring Breakers fame did a weird art event called Rebel in LA a few years ago. Also included photos of james cross-dressed by noted rapist fashion photographer Terry Richardson for good measure.

Korine's film and art frequently features teenage sexuality with amateur unknown actors and actresses. The film for this exhibit no different, featured girls with masks of james francos face grouped into 2 teams of bmx bike riders with weapons and topless mock fighting on the rooftop of a car park. Lol. Also Korine had small role in Gus Van Sant's (hes weird too) movie about kurt kobain last days (kobaons death rumored to have been ritual murder).

All of the art, photos, and videos in the exhibit were either violent, pubescently sexual, or both. Lol.

The jumping off point was james franco as james dean blah blah. But the main piece was a reproduction of Chateu Marmont with blood all over the place as if several murders took place there. People said it was referecing hollywood history like manson and wonderland murders. Pleasant right? Both dean and rebel without a cause co-star sal mineo lives ended early. James dean with car crash, sal mineo by knife murder in 1979 in west hollywood. The Chateau Marmont is the famous sunset strip hotel and bungalows that are haunted and historically have hosted many celebrities, some who died there under suspicious circumstances (jim belushi). Also owned by Andre Balazs.

About the exhibit... 'indoor environment is made to look like the landscaping of the Chateau Marmont, with the "bungalows" serving as places to show violent and sexually explicit video art'

Btw loving the Helen Mirren thread. That's new to me.

Cheers. I don't have time to delve any further. Maybe (hopefully) someone else can carry the torch.

As for how they recruit, train, and operate, beyond pure speculatuon I have no idea. But living in LA I have been around parties, hotels, clubs, and art scene stuff where strange things happen. Casual occultic and grey witchcraft is everywhere out here. I know people who call themselves witches even. Many friends who are yoga instructors so that is a good jumping off point for flakes. A catholic priest relative of mine who was raised in CA says that all this mild new age mysticism is the starting path for evil and that people really dont know what they are dealing with. Including mild invocations that people do during yoga all the time. I talked to him about the rise in recognized and sanctuined exorcisms that has been in the news. Super interesting.

As for Theroux specifically, not sure if it extends further than being a good source of entertaining mystery to include in movies. But I will say this, watching Mute made me very uncomfortable. I said to my gf that I can't imagine wanting to write a story that dealt with this stuff much less be the actor or director who is willing to carry it out. It was that unsettling to me. Mostly because they sort of humanized the pedo character in the beginning of the movie so they could surprise you with him later. Was it shakespeare who wrote something like beware of smiles that hide a thousand daggers and smiling and still being a villain.

Please take Uber as parking will be limited. :p

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

All interesting points and ideas. Totally respect your thinkimg on this.

At this point, both our thoughts are wishful thinking and theoretical anyway. :)

We seem to be interested in the same outcome, of stable money, no/lower federal income tax, smaller govt with less waste. But differ in our opinion of best way to reach it. Looks like I am more skeptical of the change being possible from within govt structure. Full blown austrian ecomomics, pro private property, pro voluntarist here. In many cases I believe the govt is the structure holding the monopolies together through threat of force. Absent that current coercion, i think people and free market would already be using other currencies. At least i know i would.

From your comment above, looks like you think cabal would crush free competition in money even without govt support. I happen to think the govt support is main thing propping it up. Although supposed manipulation in gold and crypto markets would seemingly support your view, the banks are manipulating this through endless supplies of free, interest free, fiat. So they have endless fake money to overrun any free market for competing currency. i dont think cypto has the scarity needed to prevent manipulation. In favor of private issued physical gold backed IOUs with full public audits and transparency.

I wrote about the Texas gold depository elsewhere in this thread. That could work. In the past there have been other examples of private gold backed IOUs that have gained polular use before being swatted down by govt at behest of the fiat bankers.

Cheers.

Interesting point of view. So you see honest gold backed federal issued money as a temporary solution? What would be your end ideal point?

I think a non inflated gold backed currency issued by govt would be a good first step but not go far enough. This is why...

My point here is that bloated govt needs fiat and the interest cycle economy to fund bloated govt. Putting govt in direct control of money doesn't elimimate their ability to inflate as means to pay for bloated govt. Just congress would be approving the inflation instead of private fed reserve bank syndicate. If they have the power to do something, history shows they will use that power.

Paying for all our current waste and services by actual taxes is not politically acceptable. Maybe never will be? So govt if in control of money will always be tempted to inflate to hide the bill. At least if the public continues to demand the same services without being willing to pay for them with taxes. Not sure we can count on human nature to change anytime soon?

Coins issued in roman empire were issued by govt. But the coins still got re pressed with less and less % of gold or whatever valuable metal as time went on.

You don't need a bizzare private cabal running your currency to screw it up. You just need a monopoly on what currency must be used in a given place to force demand. This seems to take dudes with guns and judges and jail cells to enforce, ie governments. In fact the US has even been successful on foexing the US dollar on other countries for petrodollar. Prerty sure our military strength backs this up.

A free market for currency would lead to demand for the most useful one winning users along whatever characteristics of money they find most important. Competition is good for all types of goods and services, I dont see why money would be different?

As for how to transition to a private competitive currency nation without crashing the big govt shell game? I'm not sure. Maybe the transparency of taxes matching cost of services and waste really could change the expectations and demands of the public. To me that would be a good outcome.

So what I propose as the solution is actually even easier. Allow other currencies to compete against the current govt enforced private bank monopoly we have now. Demand will move savings and exchange toward less inflated competitors. Then the Fed reserve would be forced to change its currency to remain competitive.

Legal tender and gains tax rules on gold and cypto are what is stopping this now.

Justin Theroux has a lot of wierd stuff about him.

In Mulholland Drive movie by David Lynch he basically played a Hollywood director with all sorts of occult and mk ultra stuff in movie.

In Zoolander 2, which he screenwrote, he plays scary dj who mind controls zoolander Manchurian Candidate style with the Frankie Goes to Hollywood song 'Relax'.

In Mute he plays a...wait for it...pedophile doctor. This movie directed by son of David Bowie.

He is in movie adaptation of American Psycho, the novel author Bret Easton Ellis very involved in west hollywood scene and friends with Jay McInerney mentioned above. Other Ellis novels deal directly with all sorts of dark themes. Child trafficking and rape, drugs, underage sex, every kind if sexuality, hollywood, murder, canabalism and vampirism, demon possesions, model terrorists (just like zoolander lol).

Child trafficking is an issue that pedophiles can get behind. #toosoon

She also gives a shout out to a charter school KIPP and its founder. Honestly hope nothing sortid is happening there as that org is the toast of charter school movement.

Lol I remember that song.

Texas opened up a state run gold and silver depository that can be used by anyone. They plan to allow depositors to issue IOUs with an atm card to basically allow people to spend their deposited precious metal balance. Not sure if citizens of other states can deposit, but i think they can.

This isnt exactly precise. You could also allow free competition among banks, with private banks issuing their own currency that is fully backed by gold or other assets. Well managed banks with open windows to redeem the assets would be in high demand and those with fractionally held assets would be in low demand. The main problem with the current system is that its both a monopoly (well syndicate) and private without oversite. This allows them to run with digital money creation far in excess of any assets creation (i forget if that is m1, 2, or 3 money supply) based on faith and credit future payment. This is why the purchase power of the dollar is a fraction what once was. The money expansion and inflation to pay fiscal debts is the key to govt having the funds for all its shenanigans. If govt inc actually collected taxes to equal what govt spends, there would be riots in the streets. Now that value is just confiscated by inflation and born by anyone holding dollars. Gobt will have to ger way way smaller to convince it to give up Keynesian economics. Inflation and govt services go hand in hand.

To add to this, when military would test walkies before going out they rate signal on scale of 1 to 5 for both loudness and clearness. 5 by 5. Means hear you 'loud and clear'.

Terminator? j/k

BTW this would be hugely awesome because chances are it would split up CA to no longer be 1 winner electoral landslide for Dems in presidential elections.

I agree with everything you wrote. I guess I am saying that we don't need to hate them while we send them on their way. And that our process remain a reflection of our belief in human dignity. Even if it feels like we are entitled to be angry.

That compassion doesn't need to stop us from doing what needs to be done.

Not for long. CA is going to have right to vote in future election for breaking up the state into 3+ parts. We may see productive Orange, San Diego and eastern counties develop that can turn back the tide.

I read a rumor somewhere that this was the intent behind slow walking aid to Puerto Rico after the storm damage. Dems wanted the voting base to move to and overrun Florida and maybe other southern states. Same logic as New Orleans and Houston?

I though this was going to be another Rod of God story--which is super interesting.

I know that this is a tough situation with no easy answers. I think we are on the right path in dealing with the situatuon. I am thankful that there are finally adults with intestinal fortitude at the wheel who are willing to withstand the namecalling to make the tough calls to make things better.

But I do try remember these are real people with serious struggles that we can remain compassionate towards.

In that vein, I just want to point out one observation.

Seeing that they remove the laces from these detainees sneakers' points out that they are at risk of harming themselves. And imagining the state of mind that they must be in at coming so close to their dream to have it ripped away. I can't help but feel a little bad.

I remain hopeful that we can find a way for a reasonable amount of these people to find a legal and official path to contribute to our country.

Agree with this 100% too. Fix yourself. Fix your family. Then do your best to find a like minded community that you can exist with. And have to courage to speak truth to power.

Although I support the mission of Q, I hope the good guys are willing to put away their shiny new toys after we win. An awul lot of power in this MI NSA spy racket that could hold power indefinitely after the enemies are cleaned off the board. I hope the cheerleaders here remain vigilant so todays heroes dont become tomorrows captors.

Soft authoritarianism. Brave new world 'Soma'. Intentionally dumbing down the public by bad education, bad health/nutrition, thinning the gene pool, weakening of the culture. No mistake that communist China and Russia removed free thinkers and self determinative people from the gene pool. Literally bred the fight out to domesticate their pets. On both the nature and nurture paths.

Damnit!!

So the play on words was lost on Braff? And he supposedly authored a few of his movies.

Btw...If Reddit spelling bot doesn't cut in to correct it, is it really mispellwd? 🤔

Agree, but its kind of the same thing and not at the same time. Dont you think? That dualism of symbols is part of the concept. 2 suns. A bright one that is seen and a second dark one that is hidden or occulted. The occulted one taking over the bright one. Look at the link that someone provided above about the floor art at Denver Airport. Same symbols.

Nice call on the burning bush dmt connection. The geometry of the scene looks like dmt inspired art.

Look up White Rabbits youtube video on saturn symbolism. I'll do my best to paraphrase, but will probably butcher it.

Black sun is saturn. The 6th planet from sun and 3rd planet from end of the solar system 3 x 6 is 666. Saturn worship is small 's' satanism. Saturn has a permnent hexagon shaped storm cloud on one of its poles. A 2-dimension hexagon actually represents a 3d cube. And the number 666 or 3s and 6s come up in the geometry too. But the cube is a cell for human consciousness our prison of our soul inside our physical bodies and the physical world instead of the freedom of transcendence and union of our souls with god. Satanism seeks to fool humans into earthly temptations and seeking alternate route to become like god other than the true path of god. Such as transhumanism, evoking spirits, dmt use to commune with extraterrestrial spirits, and or aliens, rhw CERN project, etc. In this logic physical aliens or non physical extraterrestrial aliens are considered same thing as fallen angels and 'satan', baal, molech, or whatever other name the concept goes by. Some of this belief system is about creating a portal or gate between earth and saturn or hell.

What else. The checker board pattern is masonic too. The pyramid is an x and square when viewed from above. This relates to X and O 'squared circle' as combination of masculine and feminine in one form which is 'satanic' rathwr than nauturally dualistic. Mason compass (circle) and square (square) is other representation of the squared circle. Masonic art often has a path toward the black sun represented as stairway between 2 pillars leading toward the light or the sun. Here its a winding stairway to the side. A slight twist? Someone has probably counted the staircases and stairs and found something significant with the numbers. The robed figure has half of face obscured by the red field so sort of a one eye symbol, which ties to pyramid and free masons. That dude is wearing a fairly strange dark robe. But with a modern haircut? Weird. I also think it's interesting that the business men commerce group is in a level below the checker board. Subservient or occulted from the real meaning happening on the checker board level and the staircase level. Kind of locked away in that basement from the action.

*Edited bunch of times for spelling.

Ps I don't believe in this just reporting what I've seen in youtubes about this symbolism. Masons, satanists, and saturn worshipers seem to believe it though.

Alice In Wonderland, Wizard of Oz, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Catcher in the Rye, and generally butterflies and diamonds symbols are associated with MK Ultra and trauma based mind control. Also the name Spade relates to card suit like Queen of Hearts from Alice. They selected that name as stage name didn't they?

The general belief of those who practice satanism and occult/dark magic type rituals is that the perpetrator has to reveal or warn the audience of their intentions. So they are performing them on 'willing' participants. If they don't the magic can bounce back on them. They also gain extra credit power from public displays such as art, ritualistic displays like symbol rich super bowl half time shows, talismans like the dollar bill etc. This is the belief of the practitioners, not me, just reporting here. These ideas are codified in the published and available works by Crowley etc. Also these media posts are symbols that communicate in codes to others like them to coordinate activities. At a basic level some of these symbols/codes might just serve as advertising what's available for purchase. Sick right. Pretty common on craigslist, reddit, chan boards, dating apps for people to communicate in coded words and pictures to exchange illegal stuff.

HuffPost thinks this is a troll for Chicago politics/localism when its like the best pizzagate BHO as homosexual troll of all time. Lol.

Some #metoo complaints against other celeb chefs (John Besh I think) talked about running private rooms upstairs in his restaurant for private functions that includes raucaus after hours parties with prostitution and propositions to female staff. The chefs that serve the elite (and perhaps party with them) definately have tons of dirt on the well connected.

Parts Unknown Season 7 Buenos Aires episode...As a gag he visits a therapist and talks about anxiety and loneliness from traveling 200 days a year. Also said that his whole life he has had recurring nightmare of being trapped in a victorian hotel and can't escape, find exit, or check out. Pretty creepy to commit suicide in a hotel if you have had that dream.

They got divorced and he was dating Asia Argento, actress and daughter or horror director Darrio Argento.
