Iran wants to join BRICS making it BRIICS. Extra thicc.

golfin' jones and the trouser police

@Coyote do you have the sources for these graphs?

@koherecoWatchdog @LibreSolutionsNetwork @cjd @mystik @thatguyoverthere that's not what I'm saying, your argument seems to be that Alex Jones saying something is sufficient to disprove it

if I've misunderstood your argument please correct me

@koherecoWatchdog @thatguyoverthere @mystik @cjd @LibreSolutionsNetwork this is nonsensical, if Alex Jones told you that X is true, does that make it impossible for it to be true?

does Alex Jones have the ability to alter reality by his statements?

I'm sure you've seen the Eisenhower speech regarding the military industrial complex, these are not conspiracy theories, you've just been convinced by the conspirators that everything is fine

it's strange to me that for someone who clearly has strong critical thinking skills has allowed such a strange blind spot to grow in their thinking, I can't see any way in which a deep state would fail to form in a long enough timeline with human nature being what it is

Ok so I watched it. I don't fully agree, but calling it a "right wing conspiracy theory" is just a rubbish take.

Material like this is obviously caveat emptor because some of these things cannot be known for sure, but it's only "dangerous" for people who lack any critical thinking.

My notes:

1. The research on Vanguard and BlackRock seems pretty good.

2. What is a bit opaque is the internal structure of Vanguard. We should consider the possibility that it's a "pass-through entity" allowing many different investors to hold shares anonymously. We just don't know.

3. I recall the WEF putting a CFP for how to "reboot the economy" as far back as 2014. This is definitely real. Hypothesis: They're trying to save their liberal internationalist order from collapsing into warring states. They may also be bankrupt.

4. My understanding is in its original meaning, "a new world order" doesn't imply world government, it's more like "a new Bretton Woods", it can also mean "End of Dollar Hegemony". -> It's dangerous to conflate this with Agenda 2030, A2030 is not "The" NWO, it is an example of one possible NWO.

5. "The UN wants to take tax money from all western countries and give it to the mega corporations of the elite, who will be contracted to rebuild society" --> That sounds very plausible if they're bankrupt.

7. Event201 is strong circumstantial evidence that there was foreknowledge of the COVID pandemic. Most likely meaning it's a weapon, and was either deployed by the E201 people or by someone else with the E201 people having intel that it was likely to occur.

8. The idea that there can be a world with NO poverty, pollution or wars is a bit hand-wavy. Even if the current oligarchy is overthrown, humans gonna human, Darwin is always right in the end.

9. He missed the really obvious possibility --> Russia says "nice reset but I want a bigger piece of the pie than what we negotiated" and starts a war. China says "nice reset but I'm not gonna sanction Russia", India says "look, I work for India, no hard feelings"... And the whole Great Reset just flops.

Ok so I had to rewatch the video because it's been a while since I saw it. I was disappointed that not one of Alex Jone's "conspiracy theories" like gay frogs or false flags were mentioned even once. I assume you are talking about the Gates Foundation, Soros, Event 201, and the royal blood lines. These are actually all well documented and not really theories at all. You can claim you don't think Event 201 was a mock for a planned pandemic, but you can't deny that it happened.

Do you have any specific claims that were made in this video that you can refute? I am always open to more information, but the old "muh conspiracy theory" route is tired. There are people who make plans that affect us which they don't entirely share with the public. The governments of the world do collude with big businesses. The Great Reset isn't a conspiracy theory, it's a damn book written by Klaus Schwab (he has recently written the sequel, The Great Narrative). I own my own copy. Do you?

You are right that the internals of Vanguard are not known. I didn't notice him making many claims in that regard. I am not saying no assumptions were made throughout the video, but it seems like all of the "facts" he has put forward are able to be confirmed. Someone wanting to discredit them could in theory do the work to disprove them, but assuming no one else has done any homework to confirm what is an isn't true is lazy in my opinion.

Stuffed bell peppers!

About a pound of ground beef, can of stewed tomatoes, three cloves of garlic, three bell peppers, and I used quinoa instead of rice (so it's vegan). Browned the ground beef with the garlic, seasoned, dumped into a bowl, mixed with the tomatoes and quinoa, forgot the eggs, halved the peppers, filled them up, had some left over so emptied out a tomato, consumed contents, filled that up, gave the dog the mixing bowl, shredded cheese on top, oven (350 for 20 minutes), then realized I forgot the eggs.

@11112011 service economy, unless wages rise I guess we're less exposed

@11112011 interesting that it's not so bad here, do we produce less or are we more responsible financially?

@sim private property circumvents this but I don't think there being no common property is a good idea either
