Nuclear anomalies

Another intriguing inauguration anomaly:

Donald Trump’s decision to shun Joe Biden’s inauguration has caused serious logistical problems for perhaps the most sensitive section of the presidential handover: the nuclear codes. During a normal inauguration ceremony, the nuclear football, which contains the equipment the president uses to authenticate his orders and launch a nuclear strike, is handed over from one presidential aide to another at the stroke of noon.

Trump will leave Washington DC at around 8am, however, and fly to his Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago. As president, he will take the nuclear football with him.

Stephen Schwartz, a nonresident senior fellow at the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, told CNN that the officials involved would have had to come up with an elaborate work-around. ‘There are at least three to four identical ‘footballs’: one follows the president, one follows the vice president, and one traditionally is set aside for the designated survivor at events like inaugurations and State of the Union addresses,’ he said. ‘On 20 January, the extra footballs will be out of town somewhere with their designees, leaving just Mike Pence’s briefcase unless the White House Military Office has prepared (or already has on hand) another backup for Mr Biden.’

The Constitution gives Trump control of nuclear attacks until the very second that Biden is sworn in.

Curiouser and curiouser…. 

They speak in symbols

I’m no semiotician specializing in occultic esotericism, but the Turner Classic Movies schedule for January 20th does tend to cause one to raise an eyebrow. Notice a certain pattern?

  • 6:00 AM Ode To Billy Joe (1976)
  • 8:00 AM Polo Joe (1936)
  • 9:30 AM The Fabulous Joe (1947)
  • 10:45 AM The Story of G. I. Joe (1945)
  • 12:45 PM Joe Smith, American (1942)
  • 2:00 PM A Guy Named Joe (1943)
  • 4:15 PM Pal Joey (1957)
  • 6:15 PM Mighty Joe Young (1949)
  • 8:00 PM Murder She Said (1961)
  • 9:45 PM Murder at the Gallop (1963)
  • 11:15 PM Murder Most Foul (1964)
  • 1:00 AM Murder Ahoy (1964)
  • 2:45 AM Penguin Pool Murder (1932)
  • 4:00 AM Murder on the Blackboard (1934)
UPDATE: as Luuk points out, 8 “Joe” movies and 6 “Murder” movies. Cassell’s Dictionary of Slang: the meaning of “86” expanded during the 1970s to mean “to kill, to murder; to execute judicially”

Get Brave

If you aren’t already using it as your main browser, you’d better at least get accustomed to it given Big Tech’s assault on internet freedom:

Brave, one of the most secure and fastest browsers, has now taken crucial steps in extending its support to a decentralized web. Brave is now going to offer native integration with a peer-to-peer networking protocol and is the first mainstream browser to do.

The browser makes use of the IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) technology to improve upon the existing HTTP protocol, while also increasing the speed of accessing content. Generally speaking, HTTP obtains information from a central server. But IPFS, however, obtains information from a network of distributed nodes.

Simply put, using IPFS is more or less like downloading from BitTorrent instead of downloading from a central server. So each time you access a website from Brave browser, the website content is obtained from various distributed nodes.

IPFS not only helps lower server costs for website owners and content publishers but also helps make web content more immune to censorship, promoting internet freedom.

Brave has already been offering early support of IPFS since 2018; but with the latest 1.19 version, users can now use IPFS directly. URLs must either be started with ipfs:// instead of http:// or a “full IPFS node in one click” must be installed.

President Trump leaves the White House

 Read the speech. Read the whole thing and read it carefully.

For nearly 250 years, in the face of every challenge, Americans have always summoned our unmatched courage, confidence, and fierce independence. These are the miraculous traits that once led millions of everyday citizens to set out across a wild continent and carve out a new life in the great West. It was the same profound love of our God-given freedom that willed our soldiers into battle and our astronauts into space.

As I think back on the past four years, one image rises in my mind above all others.  Whenever I traveled all along the motorcade route, there were thousands and thousands of people. They came out with their families so that they could stand as we passed, and proudly wave our great American flag. It never failed to deeply move me.  I knew that they did not just come out to show their support of me; they came out to show me their support and love for our country. 

This is a republic of proud citizens who are united by our common conviction that America is the greatest nation in all of history.  We are, and must always be, a land of hope, of light, and of glory to all the world.  This is the precious inheritance that we must safeguard at every single turn.

For the past four years, I have worked to do just that.  From a great hall of Muslim leaders in Riyadh to a great square of Polish people in Warsaw; from the floor of the Korean Assembly to the podium at the United Nations General Assembly; and from the Forbidden City in Beijing to the shadow of Mount Rushmore, I fought for you, I fought for your family, I fought for our country.  Above all, I fought for America and all it stands for — and that is safe, strong, proud, and free. Now, as I prepare to hand power over to a new administration at noon on Wednesday, I want you to know that the movement we started is only just beginning.  There’s never been anything like it.  The belief that a nation must serve its citizens will not dwindle but instead only grow stronger by the day. As long as the American people hold in their hearts deep and devoted love of country, then there is nothing that this nation cannot achieve.  Our communities will flourish.  Our people will be prosperous.  Our traditions will be cherished.  Our faith will be strong.  And our future will be brighter than ever before.

I go from this majestic place with a loyal and joyful heart, an optimistic spirit, and a supreme confidence that for our country and for our children, the best is yet to come.

Thank you, and farewell. God bless you. God bless the United States of America. 

This is widely supposed to be a concessionary speech. Perhaps it is. But I don’t think so. Perhaps “the new administration” to which he will hand power at noon on Wednesday is the Biden administration. But I don’t think so.

In any case, remember the 48 hours rule.

UPDATE: And now they’re all showing up in DC….

Lady Gaga prays at the Capitol for ‘a day of peace for all Americans’ ahead of Biden-Harris inauguration… as she joins stars jetting into D.C.

UPDATE: As I previously told you, this guy clearly hasn’t been commanding the military in DC.

How petty can you get? Biden and family arrive in DC on charter plane after Trump REFUSES them government jet.

Lin Woods accuses Roberts, Clinton, and Pence

From his account on Telegram:

Chief Justice John Roberts must resign today. Over the past several weeks, I have met with a courageous whistleblower who has risked his life to tell you the truth. Jeffrey Epstein arranged for the adoption of Roberts’ children. Roberts used the children to gain entry into the cabal of power & influence. FBI, Rod Rosenstein & Crowdstrike knew it all.

Vice President Pence must resign today. Pence is on videos captured by FBI. Discussions about murdering judges. Roberts was involved. So was Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton thought she had rigged the 2016 election. The plan after her election was to kill federal judges so that Hillary could stack the judiciary. US Supreme Court targeted. FBI was complicit.

Justice Scalia learned of the plan to kill members of the judiciary. He reported it to the White House. Shortly thereafter, Justice Scalia was murdered. I have previously provided the entire interview of the whistleblower to agents of the U.S. Secret Service. His evidence reveals a level of evil, perversion, & criminality at the highest levels of government that is so shocking that it is hard to believe.

Believe it.

I don’t have a Telegram account and I have not seen the videos, so I cannot confirm or reject the credibility of Woods’s accusations. A priori, it certainly sounds completely over-the-top crazy. But if you have a Telegram account, you can watch the videos and decide for yourself. I’d be interested in a transcript of them, if there is actually anything substantive there.

Pompeo posts a picture

 An interesting choice under the circumstances, to be sure. Note that he’s down to three-minute intervals. UPDATE: Make that one-minute intervals.

  • A few final thoughts: The United States of America is the greatest country in the history of civilization.
  • There are consequences for interfering in the democratic process. Starting today, we are imposing visa restrictions on those involved in election interference in Tanzania. We remain committed to working together to advance democracy and mutual prosperity for both our countries.

The idea is planted

Further to the “sacrificial lamb” theory.

President-elect Joe Biden’s daughter Ashley says she is ‘worried’ about her father’s safety at Wednesday’s inauguration… 24 hours before Biden is inaugurated at the 46th President of the United States, Ashley voiced her concerns over the safety of the event.

The Narrative is just weird

Donald Trump is LIVID! So JEALOUS and ENVIOUS of all the Hollywood star power wielded by Joe Biden!

Donald Trump is furious that Joe Biden has managed to attract a star-studded lineup to his inauguration, it has been claimed – in sharp contrast to the president’s own ceremony four years ago. Trump, who will leave the White House before noon on Wednesday, was reported by The Washington Post to be angry that a roll call of stars are signing up to Biden’s event.

While Trump famously struggled to attract big names, Biden has confirmed Jennifer Lopez, Lady Gaga, Tom Hanks and country star Garth Brooks for his event.

What the Actual? It appears the mainstream media has gone so deeply into hiding that its daily Narrative is now being written by 13-year-old female interns. 

They sound confident

Nancy Pelosi and Hilary Clinton are now publicly accusing Putin of responsibility for the Storming of Capitol Hill:

Democratic bigwigs Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi have called for a probe into Russian President Vladimir Putin’s – real or entirely imagined – role in the Capitol riot, theorizing that he may have personally ordered the unrest.

The House speaker sat down with the failed 2016 presidential candidate for an interview on Clinton’s podcast, ‘You and Me Both,’ on Monday, where they discussed the bout of chaos in Washington, DC earlier this month. At one point during the conversation, Clinton argued that President Donald Trump “has other agendas” – though hastened to add that “I don’t think we yet know” what those are – wondering aloud about “who pulls his strings.”

“I would love to see his phone records to see whether he was talking to Putin the day the insurgents invaded our Capitol,” Clinton said, asking Pelosi: “Do you think we need a 9/11-type commission to investigate and report everything they can pull together and explain what happened?”

Pelosi responded in the affirmative, saying that when it comes to Trump, “all roads lead to Putin.”

“I don’t know what Putin has on him politically, financially or personally, but what happened last week was a gift to Putin. Because Putin wants to undermine democracy in our country and throughout the world,” Pelosi added confidently, despite being fuzzy on the details. These people, unbeknownst to them, they are Putin puppets. They were doing Putin’s business when they [stormed the Capitol], at the incitement of an insurrection by the president of the United States. So yes, we should have a 9/11 commission, and there is strong support in the Congress to do that.”

I don’t know about you but I’m convinced. And it’s informative to observe that they’re more interested in talking about Putin’s nefarious shenanigans and President Trump’s mysterious agenda than about the new administration that is supposed to be inaugurated tomorrow. 

“A peaceful transition….”

It looks like the cat is out of the bag now, thanks to the Major General who commands the District of Columbia National Guard:

Happy Holiday to Dr. Martin Luther King, and please allow me to say how proud I am of the almost 25,000 National Guardsman who have come in from all 50 States and Territories to help support the Secret Service and the police departments with a peaceful transition to military power.

That sure didn’t sound like “to the Biden Adminstration” to me.
