-Lurid Crime Tales-
Movie Trailer ‘My Son Hunter’
[ARMSTRONGECONOMICS] The left is seething at the upcoming release of “My Son Hunter,” detailing the corruption of Hunter Biden and his father, “the big guy.”

Director Robert Davi admitted that Hunter’s lawyers appeared on set in Serbia in an attempt to intimidate the film crew. Producing this film was a risky ordeal, as the producer noted that the Biden crime family went as far as sending spies to oversee production. As I know from filming “The Forecaster,” claims made in films must be verified and triple-checked to avoid legal implications. This movie will bring to light the extent to which Joe Biden has gone to corroborate with his son to line his pockets. Perhaps they will ban this movie in America as they did to mine.

The movie, set to premiere on September 7, will be a major punch for the Democrats before the mid-term elections. There are already reports of Russian media using this film to paint the first family in a bad light in an attempt to discredit the documentary. Yet, all of the claims are true. This is the factual information that they willingly hid from the public before the 2020 US Presidential Election.

Labor Day Weekend in Chicago: 46 Shot Friday into Monday Morning
[Breitbart] Forty-six people were shot Friday into Monday morning of Labor Day weekend in Mayor Lori Lightfoot
...the diminutive and vacuous Heronner da Mare of Chicago. When the corpse count rises she blames the guns, which are banned anyway. A racist to the bone, Lori sez that people with the same skin tone all think alike, not quite getting the implications for a city with a population less than thirty percent black...
’s (D) reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel...
Seven of the 46 shooting victims shuffled off the mortal coil.

Breitbart News reported that 17 people were shot, four of them fatally, Friday into Sunday morning alone.

ABC 7 / Chicago Sun-Times noted three additional shooting fatalities, the first of which occurred Saturday night at 11:15 p.m., when a 29-year-old man was shot and killed "in the 6600-block of South Evans Avenue" following an argument.

Minutes later, police responded to the sound of gunshots "in the Old Town neighborhood’s 1300-block of North Hudson Avenue," where they found a 31-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his chest. He was transported to a hospital, where he died.

At 3;00 a.m. Sunday, a 22-year-old was shot multiple times "in the 6000-block of South Racine Avenue." He was rushed to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
He's dead, Jim!
The Sun-Times pointed out that 457 people were killed in Chicago January 1, 2022, through September 4, 2022.

-Signs, Portents, and the Weather-
Biden Will Reportedly Offer Pelosi Ultra-Cush Post-Midterm Government Gig
I understand a slot in Russia is open.
[PJMedia] According to the polls and pundits, House Republicans are expected to emerge victorious in enough midterm elections across the country to take a majority position, leaving House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) without a job if that power shift comes to fruition.

But that doesn’t seem to be an issue for the 82-year-old speaker, as she reportedly has a cushy gig already lined up — with the blessing of President Joe Biden himself — as the United States ambassador to Italy, according to Fox Business. The president has been slow to nominate ambassadors since taking office, but he reportedly saved the Italian job for Pelosi, at her request.

So, the good news is that Pelosi could be leaving the United States for a while. The bad news is that she’ll still be representing the United States.

Fox Business noted:

Biden is holding the spot for the speaker, sources say, which is one reason he has yet to fill the position since taking office. Speculation earlier this year that a Pelosi ally and former Wall Street executive wanted the job has shifted with the increasing likelihood that the GOP takes the majority.

So far, 101 Biden ambassador nominees have been confirmed by the Senate, but Biden has been slow to name ambassadors to several countries, including Italy.

About a quarter (27%) of the 194 ambassador positions are currently without a Senate-confirmed official.


According to Mansion Global, Villa Taverna is probably one of the United States government’s most valuable ambassador residences in the world, coming in at estimates of up to a staggering $1 billion.

Built in the 15th century for a cardinal, Villa Taverna sits on 7 acres in one of Rome’s most central and exclusive neighborhoods. The property includes a Roman sarcophagus dating to the 3rd century, ancient Egyptian granite columns, a swimming pool and a tennis court.

Who owns this spread? U.S. taxpayers, as Villa Taverna is the U.S. ambassador’s residence. What is it worth? Hard to say: a 2010 Office of the Inspector General’s report estimated the combined value of the residence and the embassy compound in Rome at anywhere from "$500 million to $1 billion."


Oh, and did we mention Villa Taverna is complete with lush, private gardens and — get this — a three-story wine cellar? Perfect. But don’t let Papa Pauli P. get into that cellar and hit the road in another drunk driving debacle, as the Italian district attorneys might not be as forgiving as Napa County DA Allison Haley.

We’d like to formally apologize to our Italian brothers and sisters ahead of this potential move. Mamma mia, it’s gonna be a rough couple of years over there.

#3  Two year 'Retired On Active Duty' vacation, why not at age 82? Makes sense to me, but I don't have her Lady Macbeth fixation on power ...besides I worked at a dairy plant and 'all you can eat' ice cream is kind of :Meh: to me.

#4  Find a way to retire her forever; pillow talk about effects of her legislation for the stock market, with her number 2 "squeeze", (Joe is #1) that is all it could take to put her behind bars for the rest of her life. 82? she is gone by 84 if she took the Covid shot 85, if she isn't fast enough to outrun the other inmates.

Greenpeace Co-Founder Slams Globalist 'Suicidal' Climate Change Pact (Video)
[RairFoundation] Patrick Moore warns that we are facing a situation where a "huge number of very powerful organizations and elites" call for unnecessary and dangerous policies, many of which are hyper-focused on climate.

In a recent interview with German lawyer Reiner Fuellmich, the co-founder & ex-President of Greenpeace, Dr. Patrick Moore, strongly opposed the left-wing scheme that there are too many people on earth, causing it to get too hot. Instead, he believes humanity is way better off today than in the past centuries, thanks to science and innovations.

Moore warns that we are facing a situation where a "huge number of very powerful organizations and elites" call for unnecessary and dangerous policies, many of which are hyper-focused on climate. These policies are nothing but a "suicide pact, a death wish of some sort," declares Moore.

Moore, who originally co-founded Greenpeace, discussed what happened when the organization grew more prominent and was hijacked by left-wing extremists. Unfortunately, it became a business with shifted priorities, money over ideals. Furthermore, the group became radicalized, describing humanity as "enemies of the earth."

Moore has a BSc in Biology and a Ph.D. Ecology is a successful author and senior fellow at The Heartland Institute. He is also the director of co2coalition.org, a coalition that seeks to engage in an informed and dispassionate discussion of climate change, humans’ role in the climate system, the limitations of climate models, and the consequences of mandated reductions in CO2 emissions.

During his interview with Fullmich, he voiced severe doubts on the CO2-caused climate change narrative dominating academia, politics, and news & criticizes Klaus Schwab’s "own nothing and be happy" doctrine.

Moore points out that the temperature controls the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, not the other way around. Furthermore, he stressed that climate operates on 10,000-year cycles and is primarily influenced by the Sun, the moon, and even Jupiter.

As Moore has repeatedly explained. "the climate of the planet earth has not changed in any meaningful way in the last 50 to 100 years. All you have to do is study the history of weather and the history of the earth’s climate to know that what’s happening today is so not out of the ordinary...."

Dr. Moore argues for a balance between taking from nature (which feeds us) and caring for nature.

In a previous interview with RAIR Foundation USA, Moore discussed his popular book Fake Invisible Catastrophes and Threats of Doom. In the book, he details how "the exploitation of science for totalitarian ends is part of the "left-wing" ideology to need to "control the whole world and everybody in it." In contrast, he believes that "people on the right are interested in individual liberty."

Moore also pointed out that, like tyrannical coronavirus measures, the countries most impacted by the fake global warming agenda are those headed by left-wing leaders; for example, U.S. President Joe Biden and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have continually convinced people that there is a "climate catastrophe" happening as an excuse to seize totalitarian political control. As Moore previously explained to RAIR,

"totalitarianism and dictatorship are lurking all around the world now... We have a really scary situation now where [we are experiencing] a kind of herd mentality, which is not based on reason, or logic, or science is using the words of science to convince people that we have a ’climate catastrophe’ or a ’climate emergency’ or some other apocalypse-type language."

Watch Moore’s most recent interview with Dr. Robert Fullmich, who heads the Corona Investigative Committee. Since mid-July 2020, the Corona Committee has been conducting live, multi-hour sessions to investigate why federal and state governments imposed unprecedented restrictions as part of the Coronavirus response and what the consequences have been and still are for people.

#2  Mr. Moore pops up in the news from time to time — he became disenchanted by the overt propagandizing of those who were taking over the Greenpeace movement in the mid-1980s.

#3  The word "counter-revolutionary" originally referred to thinkers who opposed themselves, thus their bipolarism, indicating a group mental disorder, in which stress has induced suicidal thoughts/actions; having arrived here, they are deemed dangerous to themselves and others and can be committed by the state, involuntarily to mental health facilities for the protection of society.

Their credentials and mine are complements of 'prize inside'
The End Draws Near.

'The Real Story of Jan 6'
[EpochTimes] “The Real Story of January 6,” a documentary by The Epoch Times, reveals the truth that has been hidden from the American people. While a narrative has been set that what took place that day was an insurrection, key events and witnesses have been ignored until now. The documentary takes an unvarnished look at police use of force and the deaths that resulted in some measure from it. The film asks tough questions about who was responsible for the chaos that day. With compelling interviews and exclusive video footage, the documentary tells the real story of January 6. The film is narrated by Joshua Philipp, host of “Crossroads” on EpochTV and a senior investigative reporter at The Epoch Times.

Jasper Fakkert, editor-in-chief of The Epoch Times, said: “There has been a narrative perpetuated about January 6 that omits many of the facts about what happened that day.

“With in-depth interviews and exclusive video footage, we take an objective look at the issues, the people, and the impacts of the events.”

The film takes a close look at the shooting of 35-year-old Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt and the deaths of three other supporters of former President Donald J. Trump. It analyzes the police response to the massive crowds and use of force around the U.S. Capitol.

It examines the human impacts of Jan. 6, including the suicide of one defendant and the long pretrial imprisonment of dozens of others. It also investigates claims that some attacks on the Capitol and police were carried out by unindicted suspicious actors.



What Really Happened on January 6? | The Real Story of January 6
While the dust from Jan. 6, 2021, has long cleared, it has been replaced by a smoke screen. A carefully crafted narrative has been set that claims the events of that day amounted to a “violent insurrection.” This claim, however, does not match the facts. “The Real Story of January 6” takes an objective look at what happened through the eyes of those who were there. The Epoch Times provides the first comprehensive look into what really happened that day. The Truth can’t be hidden.
