I fear a repeat of the chaotic 1968 riots when Dems return to Chicago for their summer convention: Bill Clinton guru JAMES CARVILLE's grave warning over far-left agitators who threaten to tear the party to shreds
[DM] Reverend Wright: "The chickens..have come home...to ROOST!"

#1  Had a great time. First teargassing.
Posted by: Skidmark || 03/08/2024 7:31 Comments || Top||

#2  Carville doesn't even address the likely disruption that may occur at the convention itself. The progressive wing will probably introduce a bunch of nutty stuff to add to the platform and some fights might break out.
Posted by: lord garth || 03/08/2024 8:38 Comments || Top||

#3  Everyday life in Chicago is already bad enough. The pace of random street killings will go up, buildings will go up in smoke, streets will be blocked by the protestors du jour, the local cell phone system, internet and grid will collapse. For starters.

#4  Ah yes, the chaotic 1968 Chicago riots that got Richard Nixon elected President of the United State. Given their half century of experience at rioting and the current manic state of politics, I predict the 'progressives' will get Trump elected King of North America.

#5  The United Center (where the convention will be held) is in sort of an okay area, but in August all bets are off.

#6  Local bangas vs teefa vs pro-paleo college dweebs vs actual nazis.

-Short Attention Span Theater-
Maine mass shooter Robert Card who killed 18 in state's worst gun atrocity was suffering from 'profound' brain damage at time experts fear was caused by exposure to blasts at firing range where he worked
TBI?

#1  Concussion: 1) A brain injury involving sudden violent movement of the brain inside the cranium.2) The physical force of an explosion.

#2  ...by exposure to blasts at firing range..

Takeaway: anyone who fires a gun is a potential crazed murderer

#3  The firing range where he worked were for grenade firings.

#4  So, does slamming your head on a steering wheel, windshield, door post or headrest count?

#5  They are ignoring something else in his bio that doesn’t fit the desired narrative.

#6  Pro tip. It's still the gun's fault. If you are pro 2A you have blood on your hands according to the lefties.

US couldn't handle being the sole superpower – Putin
The United States was unable to manage the responsibility of being the world’s only superpower after the Cold War ended, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at the World Youth Festival (WYF) on Wednesday.

The WYF runs in Sochi from March 1-7, hosting some 20,000 young people from Russia and abroad for sporting and cultural events, competitions and panel discussions.

Addressing participants at the festival, Putin noted that after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the US elite had an opportunity to take advantage of their new "monopoly on world leadership."

The president predicted that as the multipolar world develops, "fundamental changes will also occur in Europe."

Despite the current hierarchy in the Western world, the "desire for independence and protection of one’s sovereignty still breaks through to the surface. This is inevitable for the whole of Europe," the president noted.

The expansion of the BRICS alliance has been viewed by many economists as marking the end of undisputed US hegemony in the international arena.

"The growing appetite for an alternative to the prevailing international order is important in itself — and marks a failure of US leadership," business and finance news outlet Bloomberg wrote last year.

The combined GDP of the BRICS countries has already overtaken that of the G7, and will grow further, Putin predicted.

BRICS, which previously comprised Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, grew in size this January with the inclusion of Saudi Arabia, Iran, Ethiopia, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates.

South Africa is a real economic titan

Dem Chicago Alderman: Sanctuary Cities See Migrant Surge as ‘Cash Cow' to Get Money from Feds

#1  Feds in this case are American taxpayers. Politicians are professional thieves hired by voters to do their stealing for them.

#2  Infrastructure money for the housing, Covid money for the flesh, cash cards from the inflation reduction act. Skim off 10%

Science & Technology
Weaponizing Neuroscience
[American Thinker] Imagine the following (which is, for now, hypothetical): in 2010, the U.S. Government publishes multiple documents which explain government plans to collaborate with academia and industry to develop technologies which combine radar, radio frequency weapons, electromagnetic technologies, and medical imaging technologies like hyperspectral infrared imaging, ultrasound, and MRI to remotely and secretly affect, harm, and surveil the human brain and body of Americans.

The plans are for what U.S. national security employees describe as "large systems of systems" and other governments plan to develop the same systems.

Say the technology utilizes something that can not only "see into" homes and buildings, but it can also remotely and secretly be used to observe or "scan" the ongoing activity in any human brain at any moment no matter where a person is -- including underground.

The resulting brain images are similar to other surveillance video except this is a surveillance system of the condition of the brain; thus, government employees call it a neurological conditions surveillance system.

The technology records the ongoing movement of substances in the brain, or simply the activity of the brain, while a person is thinking. At the same time, a computer determines, based off of many years of "machine-learning," what words or things the person is thinking.

(While it is slightly off subject, in reality, not hypothetically, brain scans can reportedly detect emotions; human brain scans of emotions, which somewhat resemble the more familiar "QR code" technology, are "machine-readable." The technologies recognize patterns. Mind-reading technology might not be as unimaginable as some presume.)

While brain neurons are small, the (for now, hypothetical) surveillance and machine-learning technology is able to "zoom in" and expand the brain much like zooming in on satellite images from space.

This hypothetical technology also utilizes magnetic properties of naturally occurring substances in the brain (like iron) combined with advanced electromagnetic and directed energy technologies to remotely and secretly force words or things to be thought of in a targeted persons brain. The technology is a type of mind control, although the government does not describe it as mind control.

The technology moves at the speed of light and can affect a person’s brain or body while they are moving, much like drones can affect moving targets.

The U.S. government then explains to Americans that such technologies are for their protection; government describes them as investigative and interrogative technologies which can either remotely and secretly determine a person’s intentions or remotely and secretly interrogate/question a person.
