Have a great week everyone!

Netanyahu has gone to Greece – flew in this morning – he’s apparently in hiding or so I’ve read.

I assume you meant this for me, but didn’t want to contribute to the source thread. (Just click on the link above, if you want to read it again.)

I had enough trouble comprehending enough of what you wrote, it prompted me to ask ChatGPT to summarize it. Man, Chattie did not have much…[Read more]

Iranian crown prince urges military to rebel, join resistance against regime

I hope that could happen. And hope Israel cares enough about avoiding civilian casualties.

Israel has been working on nukes and it now seems Iran stole them.

Or Israel let them heist bogus material?

On a possibly related note, I don’t understand why I’ve not heard any media discuss the chances of Iranian nukes working at a moment’s notice without first running live, underground tests. Surely the first successful test…[Read more]

Actually, both drones and illegal aliens who either construct them or bring them in would both be a concern for defense in the future.

I don’t understand. Like pulling wagons through the desert, packed high with drones or drone parts? Driving big containers through customs? Via tunnels, submarines, or Chinese…[Read more]

I heard last night that Iran said it responded with 100 drones. Haven’t looked at later news, yet, but so few drones is (to me) obviously just a symbolic slap in the face.

The newest possible threat to us (and any country now) are unexpectedly large and well-hidden or disguised, AI-autonomous drone attacks… anywhere in any country. That’s where…[Read more]

One of my client sites has a 50/50 mix of Filipinos and Europeans. What I note about the Filipinos is that they are laid back even when working hard, which is always and yet they are always smiling and joking.  I brought in some Ube Halaya for someone’s birthday recently. When I told them the name of the shop I got it in (in Dublin) they started…[Read more]

Around 2001 I had a short-term contract where I managed a project for Xerox to install several printers in a large company in Belfast, across 3 sites. My contact on their side was a Unionist who made it very clear to me that he hated people from “the South”. He did not actually say anything directly to me but we both instinctively knew which “tr…[Read more]

I think the nationalities are not the primary reason that they are being attacked. It is the fact that they are “not us”. These communities have been very insular and unchanged for centuries and are very conservative in their outlook. This has made them very tribal and any “outsider” is seen as a potential threat to destabilizing their social and…[Read more]

I know very few Irish people that really want to have Ulster “rejoin” the rest of Ireland. We are happy with the current situation so long as the peace process holds. Any attempts at reunification will probably mean a return of the paramilitaries on both sides. (As Gerry Adams said about the IRA, “They haven’t gone away, you know”) The zeitgeist…[Read more]

Ballymena has historically been known as part of Northern Ireland’s “Bible Belt”, with strong Protestant churches and Unionist figures like Ian Paisley having deep roots in the town. It is very much a Unionist stronghold, culturally and historically aligned with British political identity. The recent unrest has been largely driven by Bally…[Read more]

I know about 8 people who work for multinational companies who have turned down opportunities to work in the USA recently and opted to  stay in Ireland or go to a different country instead. 4 of them are US citizens and said they will reconsider in 3.5 years’ time. But will it be too late by then for President Newsom and VP Buttigieg to repair the damage?

LA Riots

When I saw a Waymo car on fire, it hit me, why tf would any protester light that on fire? Waymos are self-driving taxis, common now in California. How stupid are these protesters?

Wait… unless there’s some false flag hires in there.

Then I watched the video, below, pointing out the same possibility, with some research behind it. (The…[Read more]

Mine will be beryllium mirrors with a gold coating, just like the ones on the JWST. But it all depends on the wavelengths. Keep them varied and have fried goy for sure..

I will cover the outside of my spaceship with mirrors. Take that, space lasers!
