[GATEWAY] WHAT’S GOING ON? FBI Was Monitoring J6er for Two Years — He Was in DC for a Month at Public Events — Then They FINALLY Arrest Him After He Entered Obama’s Neighborhood
Last week DC Law enforcement arrested James Taranto
...previously in our archives as Taylor Taranto, 37, US Navy veteran and a webmaster for the Republican Party in Franklin County, in Washington state...
in Washington DC several blocks from Barack Obama’s home. CBS says he had “materials to make explosives” akin to a Molotov cocktail in his vehicle. Taranto allegedly has a January 6-related warrant out for his arrest. The FBI has been allegedly monitoring him but never arrested him following the January 6 protests in Washington DC.
So why did the FBI allow Taranto to roam free for the past 2 years? Why did the FBI not arrest Taranto when he was attending the nightly vigils at the DC Gulag? What made him so special that he was never arrested by the Biden DOJ and Chris Wray’s FBI?
There’s obviously more to this story than we are being told. That much is clear. Not again !
In 1962, I was just about 7 y/o, when they shot JFK.
As history documents, JFK was already talking about NO Vietnam Build-up, prior to the Planned Assassination. The Military Industrial Complex and its supported Politicians were not happy. We know LBJ was not totally innocent in the whole process and his family members made $$$ Millions as a result.
That was all 60+ years ago, and still the Deep State - Swamp has not released all the "known" documents.
Now 20+ years past the official SEAL DOCUMENT limit. Who would trust that ALL the documents are authentic and not forged replacements anyway?
Remember J. Edgar had a file cabinet full of Special Files that were illegally destroyed on his death . The in coming FBI Dir. L. Patrick Gray, asked about the "private" files, but was roadblocked every step of the way by FBI insiders.
Now those "Private" files would have been interesting to read.
PARTING THOUGHT
Look up the original concerns of creating the FBI in 1908 and see how many have come to tuition.
[Business Insider] Due to the recent weakness in China this year, Wall Street largely expected most other emerging economies to follow, he noted. Meanwhile, rate-hiking cycles in the 1980s and 1990s triggered crises in emerging markets, and analysts expected the latest tightening campaign to produce a similar results. But except for a few instances, that didn't happen.
"Among the 25 largest emerging economies, three-quarters of those reporting data have beaten growth forecasts this year — some, including India and Brazil, by a wide margin," the chair of Rockefeller International wrote. "Forecasts for global growth in 2023 are rising and most of that uplift is coming from emerging economies."
Many developing nations entered 2020 with improved fiscal discipline and stronger banking systems compared to prior decades, Sharma said.
So when the pandemic hit, they didn't have to borrow as much money to pay for stimulus spending, with their deficits rising on average by 15% of GDP from 2020 to 2022, just half as much as the US' did, he pointed out.
"The old notion that 'emerging' is another word for reckless no longer applies," he wrote.
And, compared with the Federal Reserve, emerging-market central banks did not delay in tightening their monetary policy. Such early intervention now allows many to start cutting interest rates, while the US looks to possibly hike two more times this year, he added.
[USNI] China has not fought in a war since the 1950s, raising questions about how its armed forces would perform in 21st-century combat, a retired top Navy official said.
That combined with the lessons Moscow has learned over the last 18 months should be “sobering” to Chinese President Xi Jinping, retired Adm. Mike Mullen said Wednesday in a Washington Post online forum.
Mullen noted amphibious invasions are “the toughest military operations possible.” To invade Taiwan, China would have to move an invasion force about 100 miles through rough sea to a densely populated mountainous island with few landing sites. Read the rest at the link

Experts say. All they wanted to see was shock and awe. Russia has used a slow and steady effort to grind down the fighting forces of Ukraine. Referring to a meat grinder. The small forces in the beginning were to get Ukraine to the negotiation table. Agreement was signed but they reneged on the agreement. So now as in WW11 Russia will demand complete and total surrender as they demanded of Germany. Numbers I am seeing were 10-1 but now Ukraine is fielding less skilled or trained units and it is speculated the new kill ratio is 17-1.
Regarding Taiwan with the new election the tone will dramatically change in favor of China. The west wants war but Taiwan has a strong affinity to China. Strong fears of war will be avoided but the west will continue their verbal war games.

Ref #1: Regarding Taiwan with the new election the tone will dramatically change in favor of China. The west wants war but Taiwan has a strong affinity to China. Strong fears of war will be avoided but the west will continue their verbal war games.
I'm not at all certain "the West wants war." What they appear to 'want' is a set of continuing global crisis scenarios where political skullduggery, power plays, and arms sales thrive.
No, you are entirely correct. Little has really changed in 60+ years. Globalist goals remain much the same.

The west wants war but Taiwan has a strong affinity to China.
Another vague generality. The native Taiwanese were supplanted by the Kuomintang refugees, their culture suppressed and the native dialect supplanted by enforced teaching of the Mandarin dialect. Sounds like Tibet, doesn't it?
The 'dream plan' is for the CCP to isolate, subvert and then occupy Taiwan in a bloodless coup. Why destroy all of the golden eggs the Taiwanese goose has laid in a hasty action? Most of the saber rattling we see is the overt part of the isolate stage.
[BLAZE] U.S. District Judge Terry A. Doughty has blocked various federal government entities and figures from pressuring social media companies to censor "protected free speech" on their platforms.
Plaintiffs have alleged that the government wielded its authority to trample First Amendment free speech rights.
The judge has granted a preliminary injunction.
"If the allegations made by Plaintiffs are true, the present case arguably involves the most massive attack against free speech in United States' history. In their attempts to suppress alleged disinformation, the Federal Government, and particularly the Defendants named here, are alleged to have blatantly ignored the First Amendment's right to free speech," Doughty wrote.
He explained that the plaintiffs allege that the defendants "colluded with and/or coerced social-media platforms to suppress disfavored speakers, viewpoints, and content on social-media platforms."
"The Plaintiffs are likely to succeed on the merits in establishing that the Government has used its power to silence the opposition. Opposition to COVID-19 vaccines; opposition to COVID-19 masking and lockdowns; opposition to the lab-leak theory of COVID-19; opposition to the validity of the 2020 election; opposition to President Biden's policies; statements that the Hunter Biden laptop story was true; and opposition to policies of the government officials in power. All were suppressed," Doughty wrote.

So when will we see Criminal Indictments, Trials and sentencing for those that lied, funded the Virus development, and even pre-developed a questionable Vax, and produced millions of injections, all for a not even yet released Virus?
There should be something equal to the Nuremberg trials for WWII and sentences handed out as such.

I think we can probably determine what the government paid Tony. I doubt we can truly figure out his total compensation.
Let’s see whether ANTIFA tries to intimidate this judge. Maybe he will get an IRS visit.

Funny how the Left want to make gun manufacturers liable for killings with handguns, but not one peep about the killer Fauci Flu clot shot gene therapy vaccines and liability. Of course, Pfizer, Moderna, and J&J, and all vaccine manufacturers are immune from liability. You can thank Ronald Wilson Reagan for that.
[Townhall] "In a polarized US, how to define a patriot increasingly depends on who’s being asked," the headline read.
"Today, the word and its variants have morphed beyond the original meaning. It has become infused in political rhetoric and school curriculums, with varying definitions, while being appropriated by white nationalist groups," readers are told. It seems AP does not refer to 'American Patriots'.
The report goes on to highlight how "far-right and extremist groups" have used the term, citing data from the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center.
"Since then, many right-wing groups have called themselves "patriots" as they’ve fought election processes, LGBTQ+ rights, vaccines, immigration, diversity programs in schools and more. Former President Donald Trump frequently refers to his supporters as patriots." Several Twitter posts in disagreement at the link.

[Eurasian Times] Dmitry Medvedev, Russia’s former president, has warned that Moscow’s confrontation with the West will last decades and that its conflict with Ukraine could become permanent.
The protracted Russia-Ukraine has given the militaries worldwide to observe every strategy and tactic employed in the war that is effectively fought between Russia and NATO, with Ukraine as the pawn.

[Eurasian Times] Pakistan Army has canceled all military drills and war exercises until this year’s end. The reason was not a ceasefire agreement with India or peace and tranquillity on the borders but due to a lack of fuel.
It is evident now political and economic turmoil in the South Asian country has squeezed even the Pakistan Army.
Intel reports accessed by EurAsian Times from across the border have revealed that DG Military Training of the Pakistan Army recently issued a letter to all the field formations and headquarters to suspend all the war games till December. The reason cited is the lack of "reserve fuel" and lubricants." In military terminology, reserve fuel is different from war reserves.
While war reserves are meant for weapons and fuel needed to fight a war for certain days or periods, reserved stores are generally meant for in-house military exercises and war drills.
Even after leaving the FATF Grey List and getting a loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Pakistan is reeling under an acute financial crunch. Adding to the economic turmoil is political instability caused by the arrest of Former Prime Minister Imran Khan (May 9).
Violent protests against the military brass, attacks on army establishments (cantonments and headquarters), and the burning of the flag-house further deteriorated the situation.
Inflation in Pakistan is high, and people are struggling with their daily lives. Riots and deaths have taken place for food items like flour. But the FOL (Fuels, Oil, and Lubricants) prices have pinched Pakistan Army the most.
Fuel prices in Pakistan are already exorbitantly high at 262 per liter (petrol and diesel), while kerosene oil is 164. As such, Pakistan Army cannot procure reserve fuel and other necessary lubricants needed to run a fleet of military trucks, tanks, and other armored vehicles.
"A Pakistani T-80 tank consumes two liters per kilometer," says Colonel Danvir Singh (Retired) of the Indian Army, a well-known expert in Delhi on Pakistan Army-related matters. That is why Pakistan has suspended all the armored and mechanized exercise, he said, speaking exclusively to EurAsian Times.
Pakistan Army consists of 560,000 active soldiers. It has a total of eight corps (roughly composed of 20-30 thousand soldiers), besides other ancillary divisions like SSG (Special Service Groups), which consist of commandos of special forces.
Pakistan Army has many military trucks, small vehicles, tanks, and infantry combat vehicles, which require huge amounts of fuel and lubricants annually.
"It is the science of cost-economy which we as young army officers of Indian Army had also felt during the early 90s when the Indian economy was in tatters and had to mortgage gold to revive the economy," recalls Col Danvir Singh, who had served in the infantry regiment. More at link.

This actually the time of year that the US military has units that run out of funds to operate. Ships tie up in port, planes land, training stops when you hit the end of your budget.
The budget year in the DoD starts on Sept 1st.
I am totally not kidding.

[BLAZE] The F-150 Lightning, Ford's electric version of its iconic pickup truck, loses about a quarter of its driving range when it's fully loaded with cargo, according to a test by AAA.
As reported by the Western Journal, AAA did a comprehensive test on the truck's battery by accounting for towing and cargo capacity factors.
With 1,400 pounds of sandbags, the truck's range dropped from 278 miles to 210 miles, or a 24.5% decrease.
The version of the truck used in the test was rated as having a 300-mile range, which means owners could lose up to 90 miles on their charge if they hook up a trailer before heading out.
"Our testing revealed a significant range reduction, but it’s important to note that the Lightning was loaded to near its maximum capacity," said Greg Brannon, the director of AAA Automotive Engineering.
The listed 300 miles per battery charge is significantly less than the gas-powered version, which will drive for 500 miles on a full tank.

GAS F-150
Time to refill an empty gas using F-150 = 10 -15 mins.
Range in miles (city/hwy) 494.0/572.0 mi.
Fuel tank capacity 26.0 gal.
EV F-150
Time to recharge an empty EV F-150?
'According to Ford, using a 150kW+ DC fast charger, the standard 98 kWh battery packs can take about 44+ minutes. Charging from home will take about 14 hours to complete a full charge at 220V.'
The EV F-150 EPA estimated range is 230 miles.
But far less MPKW when used carrying loads over 400 LBS (☺ which includes the Bi-Ped's, for you Pronoun types out there.)
Now think of a truck used in daily deliver or construction.
Can you see the UPS/FEDX/USPS now?
1. Overnight & 2 day postal/package delivery disappears.
2. Due to delivery locations and distances customers will have to bring in, or pick up their shipments.

It's time to get ahead of the curve and buy up ground for massage parlors and c@$in0s around EV charging sites. Then people will have something to do while waiting for their vehicle to charge.

I had a delivery job in college.
200 miles a day, in a Pinto.
I don't imagine the Lightning as a delivery platform.

C'mon, Man! Even your gas-powered F-150 (or Pinto, for that matter) got fewer MPGs when loaded. Or driven faster. More energy required means more fuel used.

As Bobby says, this is not surprising. Now do the test in winter. Both without and with the windshield defroster blowing, please.
There are use cases where electric vehicles make sense. A fleet of autonomous JohnnyCab(tm)s roaming about downtown and returning to their charging stations while waiting for the next passenger would be one.
Pickup trucks, airplanes and long-haul trucking are not good good applications. It is easy to tell. Ask yourself: Do I want to haul around a half ton of batteries or a half ton of payload?
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
