Criswell denies allegations that FEMA instructs employees to skip any homes with Trump signs
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Administrator Deanne Criswell appeared before congressional committees on Tuesday as allegations surfaced that Trump supporters' homes were intentionally skipped during disaster aid efforts following Hurricane Milton.

Criswell, addressing two House committees, denied that the alleged targeting reflected any systemic bias within FEMA.

She attributed the incident to a "rogue employee" and confirmed that the employee in question, Marn'i Washington, had been terminated.

Comment: Seems to us that Washington, though guilty of implementing this heinous policy, was also the patsy for some Trump-deranged Washington blob higher-ups who were ultimately responsible for this bit of gross negligence. But don't worry, Washington likely got a nice fat severence paycheck and promises of a nice new position somewhere if she keeps her mouth shut.

'Running from the trenches': Ukrainian officer describes horror his soldiers experience

Ukrainian soldiers leave their positions as soon as Russian military personnel appear, Ukrainian media reported, citing an officer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This situation has become so prevalent that it is believed that more than 100,000 Ukrainians have abandoned their positions and left the fighting, meaning that the Kiev regime's drive to alleviate the catastrophic manpower shortage failed.

Many experts consider recent times to be some of the worst for Ukraine since the conflict began, as for months, the Ukrainian military has been constantly retreating, sometimes losing several villages in one day.

In this context, social media is full of videos of recruitment officers forcibly conscripting civilians into the military, catching them and beating them. In fact, recently, a video appeared of a man in uniform shooting a civilian who was running away from him.

The cited officer also revealed the low morale among the mostly forcibly deployed Ukrainian soldiers.

The cure for what ails us: Market crash and mass defaults

debt in washington
The system has reached extremes that can no longer be rebalanced by policy tweaks, borrowing another couple trillion dollars or inflating asset bubbles.

There are many possible answers to the question "what ails us?" but they all boil down to one reality: the socio-political-economic system has slowly transmogrified into one that benefits the few at the expense of the many by its very structure. There are many moving parts in this transmogrification, hence the multiplicity of answers to "what ails us?"

The net result is extreme asymmetry in wealth and income, a reality I've often explored, most recently in The Seeds of Social Revolution: Extreme Wealth Inequality. As documented in the data-rich history The Great Leveler: Violence and the History of Inequality from the Stone Age to the Twenty-First Century, extreme asymmetries of wealth / income get rebalanced one way or the other, either by policy changes or social upheaval.

Correspondent John recently proposed a third rebalancing mechanism: a crash of The Everything Bubble markets and a mass default by the bottom 90% that erases a major chunk of debt, which as often noted here, is somebody else's asset: default on the debt and the asset is wiped out.

Comment: There may not be debtor's prisons, but there may very well be new levers of financial control deployed against Western populations should a big crash occur and reset occur:

'Disaster waiting to happen': FDA approves phase 1 trial of Gates-funded self-amplifying bird flu vaccine

Clinical trials — funded by the U.S. government and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation — are set to begin for a self-amplifying mRNA vaccine targeting the H5N1 bird flu virus.

Arcturus Therapeutics announced earlier this week that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a "Study Can Proceed" notification for its investigational ARCT-2304 vaccine candidate.

Epidemiologist Nicolas Hulscher told The Defender the FDA's notification "means Arcturus Therapeutics can begin its "experiment of injecting humans with H5N1 bird flu replicon mRNA."

Self-amplifying mRNA injections contain an enzyme that instructs the body on how to make more mRNA. Arcturus says the vaccine is "formulated within a lipid nanoparticle" and "is designed to make many copies of mRNA within the host cell." This enables "lower doses than conventional mRNA vaccines."

Hulscher said the replication machinery of self-amplifying vaccines behaves "like a synthetic virus" and "allows for an unknown period of toxic antigen production."

The Revolution of 2024

People are out and about, smiling at each other. It's been true since the morning after the election, the results of which defied every prediction. Who doesn't like to see the smug elites who have ruled the world for five awful years taken down a peg?

More than that, there are hints of a return to sanity. Mainstream advertisers are suddenly returning to X, putting their economic interest above their tribalist loyalties. The editor of pro-lockdowns Scientific American, which had long blessed totalitarian measures as true science, has resigned.

The attempt to pillage InfoWars and give it to The Onion has been reversed by a federal judge. That might be a fluke or might not be: maybe the lawfare is dialing back too. The cabinet of the incoming administration is being filled by voices that were fully censored for years. Employees are reportedly packing their bags at the FDA and other agencies.

Mainstream news commentators are sputtering around with less bravado than they have shown in years. CNN is firing major personalities.

Comment: Unfortunately, and given the Deep State/Globalist blob's propensity for fighting very dirty, the new Trump administration will very likely be bombarded by all manor of sabotage and subterfuge. And that's even if they're "allowed" to take office.

'Tortured and left to die': New details emerge about Israel's murder of prominent Gaza surgeon

A new report from Britain's Sky News provides details of Adnan al-Bursh's death by torture in Israel's Ofer Prison

A Sky News investigation published on 16 November has revealed new details surrounding Israel's torture and murder of the famous Palestinian surgeon from Gaza, Adnan al-Bursh, at Ofer Prison in the occupied Palestinian West Bank last May.

A fellow Palestinian prisoner at Ofer told the British news channel that Israeli guards severely tortured Dr Bursh and then left him to die alone, naked from the waist down, in the prison yard.

The prisoner, who previously knew the doctor in Gaza, provided the new details in a deposition to lawyers from HaMoked, an Israeli human rights organization.

"In mid-April 2024, Dr Adnan Al-Bursh arrived at Section 23 in Ofer Prison. The prison guards brought Dr Adnan Al-Bursh into the section in a deplorable state. He had clearly been assaulted with injuries around his body. He was naked in the lower part of his body," the prisoner's deposition states.

Comment: Dr. al-Bursh's crime was in helping his brethren heal from traumatic injuries sustained by the criminal attacks of the IDF. He couldn't be allowed to live and remain a healer, symbol and inspiration for a people Israel has been targeting to eradicate. RIP Doctor.

On Nov. 9, multiple Michigan counties discovered additional election ballots that had not been counted days. Together, the missing votes totaled over 26,000 across Kent, Kalamazoo, Calhoun and Leelanau counties.

While voting officials and political science educators maintain that complications are not unusual, this large tally of votes have changed the results of certain local races. Discrepancies in vote counts, coupled with a distrust in absentee voting systems, have led many voters in Michigan to feel State election results might not be accurate.

13,795 of the total 26,662 missing votes were discovered in Kent County. The cause for the error in Kent, Kalamazoo and Leelanau counties was reportedly due to human error, while Calhoun County identified a software issue as the cause.

On Monday the government of Sweden began issuing pamphlets advising its population on how to survive an unexpected disastrous war scenario, at a moment tensions are on edge with Russia, and after weekend reports saying the Biden administration has authorized Ukraine to conduct long-range missile strikes on Russian territory using US-supplied weapon systems.

Millions of Swedes are receiving the directives, entitled "in case of crisis of war" - which is an updated version of something the Swedish government issued six years ago. But now things are very different, given there is a hot war in Eastern Europe, and given Sweden is NATO's newest member state. It's all about being able to survive for a few days or a week, and imagines something like a shock invasion by a foreign hostile power.

Multiple current and former senior Justice Department and FBI officials have begun reaching out to lawyers in anticipation of being criminally investigated by the Trump administration, according to three people with knowledge of their deliberations.

Following Trump's decisive election victory, many Justice Department officials and career staffers were already nervous about the possibility that they would be targeted by Trump loyalists, particularly members of Congress. But the selection of former Rep. Matt Gaetz, a firebrand Trump ally who was the subject of a recent FBI investigation, to lead the department has sharply increased the sense of alarm, the sources said.

"Everything we did was aboveboard," said a former senior FBI official who has started contacting lawyers because he expects to be prosecuted himself. "But this is a different world."

Comment: Hmm.... why the panic? Could it be that in actuality our illustrious "civil servants" have been up to some shady stuff?

'You are not needed...please die': Google AI tells student he is 'drain on the earth'

In a chilling episode in which artificial intelligence seemingly turned on its human master, Google's Gemini AI chatbot coldly and emphatically told a Michigan college student that he is a "waste of time and resources" before instructing him to "please die."

Vidhay Reddy tells CBS News he and his sister were "thoroughly freaked out" by the experience. "I wanted to throw all of my devices out the window," added his sister. "I hadn't felt panic like that in a long time, to be honest."

The context of Reddy's conversation adds to the creepiness of Gemini's directive. The 29-year-old had engaged the AI chatbot to explore the many financial, social, medical and health care challenges faced by people as they grow old. After nearly 5,000 words of give and take under the title "challenges and solutions for aging adults," Gemini suddenly pivoted to an ice-cold declaration of Reddy's utter worthlessness, and a request that he make the world a better place by dying:
