Ritter makes a few good points about the foolishness and feasibility of blockading the Hormuz Straight, but after that he launches into an anti-Trump rant that never ends. I put this video up before watching it. I do not recommend it except for the first few points Ritter makes. ABN
NEW EVIDENCE — and this one’s simple to understand.
A professional broadcast camera (Canon XA55) was recording at UVU on September 10. Unlike every phone in the crowd, this camera records UNCOMPRESSED audio on 4 separate microphone channels at 48,000 samples per second. The Canon was roughly 46m away from the tent which provided a acoustic buffer between the onset of the events. This distance has provided clarity to the event that was missing with the other camera angles.
Think of it this way: phone recordings are like looking through a foggy window. This camera is like a clean window with the lights on.
Here’s what that clean window shows:
THE SOUND ARRIVED IN ORDER — HIGH TO LOW
When a supersonic bullet passes, the crack arrives before the boom. High-pitched sounds hit first, low-pitched sounds hit last.
A bomb going off? Everything originates from the blast and arrives at the camera at the same time.
The Canon proves the high frequencies arrived FIRST — spread out over 100+ milliseconds. Followed by muzzle blast then a detonation which originates from the stage.
THREE SEPARATE BOOMS — NOT ONE
This is the big one.
Phone recordings near the stage smear everything together into one big noise. The Canon’s professional audio separates THREE distinct low-frequency events:
• +114ms — Early energy (Mach cone) • +202ms — Muzzle blast from ~120 meters away • +321ms — DETONATION AT THE STAGE
That third event — the stage detonation — is the LOUDEST of the three. It’s not an echo. It’s not a reflection. It is the strongest low-frequency peak in the entire recording, and it originates approximately 46 meters from the camera.
Right at the tent. Right were Charlie was seated.
Something EXPLODED there. The Canon captured it separately from the rifle blast for the first time.
WHY THIS MATTERS
If a rifle was fired from 120 meters away, and a separate detonation occurred at the stage approximately ~185ms later — those are two different events at two different locations.
A single shooter doesn’t produce a detonation under a tent 120 meters from the rifle. A device detonation doesn’t produce a muzzle blast from 120 meters away.
The Canon separated what the phones couldn’t: proof of events at MULTIPLE locations.
733 SUPERSONIC SIGNATURES
A supersonic bullet creates tiny pressure waves called N-waves. The Canon’s shotgun microphone captured 733 of them in under 200 microseconds each.
The best phone recording? 123.
That’s 6x more. The phones weren’t broken — their compressed audio just can’t preserve these. Uncompressed audio can. And it did.
THE SHOTGUN MIC WAS POINTED AT IT
The external microphone clipped 122,844 audio samples — it was overwhelmed because the sound source was directly in its line of fire. Meanwhile the built-in mics captured clean audio with almost zero clipping.
Zero correlation between the two signal paths. Same conclusion.
MUZZLE BLAST CONFIRMS THE DISTANCE
The +202ms blast puts the rifle at ~120 meters from the camera. The 10-camera analysis estimated 127 meters. That’s within 6%.
Two completely independent methods. Same answer.
But the stage detonation at +321ms? That’s only ~46 meters from the camera. That’s the tent.
A rifle 120 meters away. A detonation at the tent. Two locations. Captured separately for the first time on professional uncompressed audio.
This is the 11th recording to independently confirm the same findings. Professional grade. No codec excuses. And now, for the first time, the stage detonation is isolated from the rifle blast.
Many people have requested that I outline some context on the Iran conflict; so, here it is.
What follows is my own researched perspective on the challenge that President Trump is facing. I anticipate the non-interventionists will not be happy with it, and also the Israel First crowd will not like the brutal pragmatism of it. Alas, having spent a great deal of time watching things unfold, here’s my take.
Start with this question: Considering all the years the debate over Iran’s nuclear ambitions has persisted, why haven’t its strongest allies, China and Russia, ever provided Iran with a nuclear weapon?
Now, before anyone jumps into the nuclear non-proliferation perspective, let me remind you we are not going to pretend things here. You can pretend that Beijing didn’t give the DPRK nuclear weapons by pretending that North Korea isn’t a proxy province of China. Or you can stop pretending. The choice is yours!
So, what’s different? Well, in the DPRK example, Beijing holds the control mechanism. For Iran, giving religious fanatics a nuclear weapon would be tantamount to giving the Muslim Brotherhood the ability to start World War III.
As recently noted, Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman urged President Trump not to back down from this moment of consequence and to eliminate the Iranian threat once and for all. MbS is about as close to a Middle East pragmatist as you can find. In response, a desperate British Prime Minister Keir Starmer rushed to Saudi Arabia hoping to change the position of MbS. Great Britain is almost out of fuel.
That’s a good place to start looking at the regional perspectives.
It’s possible Trump has lost his mind, is being psychologically mind-controlled, or is being mind-controlled through drugs or targeted energy weapons. It’s also possible he is doing controlled trolling on his own. Trump has criticized the Pope and the Pope has criticized him for posting the picture above. My uneducated guess is Trump has been drugged and/or targeted by some kind of energy weapon. His enemies may even know a wavelength that is tailored to work especially well on him by locking him into a trance subservient to them while also making him look crazy. That combination gives his enemies everything they want (WAR) while causing the world to blame Trump more than them. ABN
Catholic nuns who have been looking after dying patients for decades have sued the state of New York over gender laws which could see the carers jailed.
The Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne filed a lawsuit against Governor Kathy Hochul on Tuesday opposing a bill that requires facilities to assign rooms by gender identity, not biological sex – something the nuns said clashes with their religion.
Hochul signed the bill into law in November, 2023, which states that long-term care facilities and their staff cannot discriminate against ‘any resident on the basis of a resident’s actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or HIV status.’
The Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne claim that the bill forces them to choose between their mission and faith and facing fines, license loss or jail time.
The group takes patients into their care at the 42-bed Rosary Hill Home in Hawthorne, New York and ‘provide comfort and nursing care for patients who are poor or suffering from incurable cancer.’
‘We are consecrated religious Sisters and have one mission,’ Mother Marie Edward OP told Fox News. ‘It is to provide comfort and skilled care to persons dying of cancer who cannot afford nursing care.’
How Chlorine Dioxide brought a doctor and young boy back to health.
“What if I told you that people have been needlessly suffering and dying from diseases like cancer, AIDS, Lyme disease and a virtually endless list of viral and bacterial infections?”
So begins The Universal Antidote, a documentary on the untapped healing potential of a substance called chlorine dioxide. Among the illnesses on that opening list, it was the word Lyme that stopped me. I wrote a book on Lyme, a disease which, when advanced, is a devious and unforgiving infection that can destroy lives.
…Dr. M was her own first chlorine dioxide patient, and she bought it like many thousands do in scores of countries worldwide—without a prescription (none is needed) and online. Following the book’s protocol, she gradually increased her dose from a single drop diluted in water to thirty-three drops daily, sipped over the course of the day. After three months, “I felt amazing,” she said. “I felt, like, as good as I’d felt in ten years.” And she still does.
…Dr. M’s own experiment, “on myself,” she said, involved slowly building up her chlorine dioxide dose to avoid unpleasant Herxheimer’s reactions, which occur when the body’s ability to eliminate killed pathogens is overwhelmed.
“I’d read enough to feel confident that a slow, measured ramp-up titrated to my symptoms would not hurt, and could potentially help,” she said. At the same time, “We’re doing things to support detoxing from all the junk that we’re stirring up. And we’re not pushing so hard that they’re just getting too much die-off, like, too much killing at once.” Among these are a binder to help eliminate toxins, Epsom salts, chlorine dioxide baths, and glutathione.
I decided to highlight Lyme disease in this article—at the risk of raising false hope—because Dr. M is not alone. Her journey aligns with testimonials of other Lymepatients, including one who was able to clear herself of an intractable tick-associated infection called bartonella after rounds of other therapies. I fully acknowledge these are anecdotes.
Pfizer toxicologist stands in the German Bundestag and says what everyone knew who didn’t want to look away.
60,000 additional deaths in temporal connection with the COVID-19 vaccination. Not estimated by fringe thinkers, but the result of a pharmaco-epidemiological analysis, presented by an expert who no longer lets himself be fobbed off with the usual “that’s complex” platitudes.
The system was simple:
Emergency authorization without long-term data. Pressure instead of enlightenment. Reports of side effects were collected, but not evaluated. The Paul-Ehrlich-Institut documented, but drew no consequences. The Robert Koch-Institut communicated excess mortality in such a way that the numbers fit. Children, young people, pregnant women – everything without sufficient data basis, without legally binding enlightenment, without those responsible ever being asked if they knew what they were doing.
The legal category is called: prohibited human experiments. Not as a comparison, but as a criminal classification. Whoever pushes a novel active substance without sufficient testing into a population and systematically circumvents the statutory duties of pharmacovigilance has crossed the line that is not crossed even in wartime.
The demand is called: Nuremberg Trials. Not as revenge fantasy, but as constitutional state. If the democratic basic order allows state authorities together with private corporations to turn people into test subjects, then this order must account for itself in court.
In the sutras, jhāna is entered when one ‘sits down cross-legged and establishes mindfulness’. According to Buddhist tradition, it may be supported by ānāpānasati, mindfulness of breathing, a core meditative practice which can be found in almost all schools of Buddhism. The Suttapiṭaka and the Agamas describe four stages of rūpa jhāna. Rūpa refers to the material realm, in a neutral stance, as different from the kāma-realm (lust, desire) and the arūpa-realm (non-material realm).[33] While interpreted in the Theravada-tradition as describing a deepening concentration and one-pointedness, originally the jhānas seem to describe a development from investigating body and mind and abandoning unwholesome states, to perfected equanimity and watchfulness,[34] an understanding which is retained in Zen and Dzogchen.[35][34] The stock description of the jhānas, with traditional and alternative interpretations, is as follows:[34][note 2]
First jhāna:Separated (vivicceva) from desire for sensual pleasures, separated (vivicca) from [other] unwholesome states (akusalehi dhammehi, unwholesome dhammas[36]), a bhikkhu enters upon and abides in the first jhana, which is [mental] pīti (“rapture,” “joy”) and [bodily] sukha (“pleasure”) “born of viveka” (traditionally, “seclusion”; alternatively, “discrimination” (of dhamma’s)[37][note 3]), accompanied by vitarka-vicara (traditionallly, initial and sustained attention to a meditative object; alternatively, initial inquiry and subsequent investigation[40][41][42] of dhammas (defilements[43] and wholesome thoughts[44][note 4]); also: “discursive thought”[note 5]).
Second jhāna:Again, with the stilling of vitarka-vicara, a bhikkhu enters upon and abides in the second jhana, which is [mental] pīti and [bodily] sukha “born of samadhi” (samadhi-ji; trad. born of “concentration”; altern. “knowing but non-discursive […] awareness,”[6] “bringing the buried latencies or samskaras into full view”[52][note 6]), and has sampasadana (“stillness,”[53] “inner tranquility”[50][note 7]) and ekaggata (unification of mind,[53] awareness) without vitarka-vicara;
Third jhāna:With the fading away of pīti, a bhikkhu abides in upekkhā (equanimity,” “affective detachment”[50][note 8]), sato (mindful) and [with] sampajañña (“fully knowing,”[54] “discerning awareness”[55]). [Still] experiencing sukha with the body, he enters upon and abides in the third jhana, on account of which the noble ones announce, “abiding in [bodily] pleasure, one is equanimous and mindful”.
Fourth jhāna:With the abandoning of [the desire for] sukha (“pleasure”) and [aversion to] dukkha (“pain”[56][55]) and with the previous disappearance of [the inner movement between] somanassa (“gladness,”[57]) and domanassa (“discontent”[57]), a bhikkhu enters upon and abides in the fourth jhana, which is adukkham asukham (“neither-painful-nor-pleasurable,”[56] “freedom from pleasure and pain”[58]) and has upekkhāsatipārisuddhi (complete purity of equanimity and mindfulness).[note 9]
This excerpt comes from the Wikipedia entry on samadhi, which is really very good and worth reading in full. This entry and the description just above are detailed descriptions of meditative states which lead to full enlightenment in Buddhist and other traditions that revere samadhi states. This deep capacity of the human mind to realize enlightenment through directed concentration is all but nonexistent in modern Western thought, a momentous omission. In the Nagara Sutta, the Buddha refers to the Noble Eightfold Path, the last element of which is samadhi, as ancient, showing that Buddhism and other samadhi traditions date back millennia before the time of the Buddha, roughly 500 BC. Buddhism is a deep Indo-Aryan tradition and as such has roots shared by ancient Greece, Egypt, and Rome as well as India and most of Asia. I believe it is helpful to recognize the antiquity of samadhi and jhāna practices as well as the civilizations associated with these practices which still exist today. In this respect, Buddhism is an extremely old and pristine core tradition belonging directly to most of the world’s peoples via tradition and indirectly to all of them via efficacy and reasonableness.
