Paris Olympics admits opening ceremony drag show was based on ‘Last Supper’

A Paris 2024 Olympics spokesperson admitted the controversial drag show version of “The Last Supper” seen in Friday’s opening ceremony was indeed inspired by the iconic da Vinci mural — despite attempting to vehemently deny it following fierce backlash.

“Thomas Jolly took inspiration from Leonardo da Vinci’s famous painting to create the setting,” an Olympics spokesperson admitted to The Post in a statement on Saturday, referring to the opening ceremony creative director.

“He is not the first artist to make a reference to what is a world-famous work of art. From Andy Warhol to ‘The Simpsons,’ many have done it before him,” the statement continued.

I like looking at the Daily Mail and NY Post to keep in touch. Each publication often runs very good stories in the midst of everything else they run. Right now, I am going to switch from mainly looking at the Daily Mail to mainly looking at the NY Post for that kind of material. The reason I am switching is the Daily Mail has for some time been writing every headline as a clickbait tease. They provide a hint and expect you to click to find out what’s inside. I can’t stand that and plan to stop spending more than a few seconds on that publication. From now on, the NY Post will get my few minutes in the morning when I check to see if the world is still here. ABN

The Great Blood Pressure Scam

Story at a Glance:

•Elevated blood pressure is the most common chronic disease, and as the decades go by more and more people are declared hypertensive.

•Remarkably, at least 25% of all hypertension diagnoses are due to inaccurate measurements, and there is still no known reason for why over 90% of people are hypertensive.

•Aggressively treating everyone’s blood pressure is justified under the belief it prevents cardiovascular disease. However, in most cases it has never been proven to reduce heart disease—rather it only leads to a small reduction in strokes (hence why these medications were rebranded to treat “cardiovascular disease”).

•Many of the misunderstandings with heart disease arise from the fact that impaired circulation or damage to the blood vessels will cause blood pressure to go up and their correlation being misinterpreted to instead believe high blood pressure causes cardiovascular disease.

•In this article, we will discuss the actual causes of high blood pressure, the dangers of commonly used blood pressure medications, the safest pharmaceutical and natural ways to reduce blood pressure directly, and our preferred methods for treating the underlying causes of high blood pressure.

Suspicious flash from ground floor window of the building Crooks fired from

UPDATE: The video just below is the most recent, longest, clearest and best version of the video that shows the flashes in the first-floor window of Crooks building. We can see that the flashes follow the barrage of shots that apparently come from the roof, thus greatly lowering the probability that the flash in the window came from a sniper firing from inside the room. The flashes can easily be seen some seconds after the barrage from the roof ends. You do not even need to slow the video to see them. ABN

A flash in a window is visible at 24 seconds in the video below. Enlarge the video and just inch along at the 24 second mark and you will see it:

Here is a frame from the version of the video I have posted above:

And here is another:

This is new information that suggests that a second shooter fired from inside the room. A professional sniper would be likely to fire from the back of a room to conceal both sound and muzzle flash from observation. This line of thought is speculative and may prove to be incorrect. ABN

Longer version of the video showing possible muzzle flashes from window

This video shows police knew someone was on the roof well before Crooks fired, but did not get Trump off the stage or stop Crooks. The video also shows the Suspicious flashes from a ground floor window of the building Crooks fired from. The LE officers we see in this video appear to all be local police, who were not specifically charged with protecting Trump but rather with directing traffic, though of course their role is not 100% clear. What is clear is that the Secret Service failed so badly, the assassination attempt looks like an planned MIHOP attack on Trump to keep him from the presidency. ABN

European Vaccination Card will be piloted in five countries

‘A European Vaccination Card will enable informed vaccination, according to experts working on the EUVABECO project. Latvia, Greece, Belgium, Germany and Portugal will pilot the new tool from September.’

As Europe transitions from emergency measures to long-term COVID-19 management, there is a critical opportunity to strengthen resilience and increase preparedness for future health threats. The European Vaccination Beyond COVID-19 (EUVABECO) project seeks to leverage this momentum by initiating pilot projects to develop and test implementation plans for tools that support both routine and crisis vaccination practices.[3]

One key tool that EUVABECO will introduce is the European Vaccination Card (EVC).[4] Scheduled for launch in September 2024, the EVC will initially be piloted in five pilot countries: Latvia, Greece, Belgium, Germany, and Portugal. The card aims to empower individuals by consolidating all their vaccination data in one easily accessible location. It will be available in various formats, including printed cards, mailed copies, and digital versions for smartphones.[5]

‘The card aims to empower DISEMPOWER individuals by consolidating all their vaccination data in one easily accessible location.‘ FTFY. I personally will resist any even slightly suspicious attempt by any government or authority to seize more control over our lives through medical mandates, dictates, record-keeping, hallway passes, anti-science, pseudoscience, coercion, bullying, bureaucratic bullshit. No exceptions. Guaranteed they will abuse this power and are seeking it only to further expand illegitimate government control. Medical authority throughout the West has become genocidally dictatorial, as covid proved, and needs to be dismantled and reconfigured, not given more ways to harm populations. I hope citizens of the five ‘pilot countries’ will have the wisdom to destroy these cards, and prevent totalitarian aggrandizement. If EUVABECO gets this, medical and political authorities will without question demand more. ABN

Texts show law enforcement was aware of Crooks more than 90 minutes before he shot at Trump

Would-be Donald Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks landed on authorities’ radar more than 90 minutes before he opened fire at the former president’s Pennsylvania campaign rally — roughly a half hour more than what officials previously claimed — according to newly released text messages.

The messages also revealed that Crooks, 20, was aware of the law enforcement presence as he prepared his assassination attempt on the GOP nominee.

“Someone followed our lead and snuck in and parked by our cars just so you know,” a counter-sniper texted a colleague as he headed out around 4:26 p.m.

“I’m just letting you know because you see me go out with my rifle and put it in my car so he knows you guys are up there sitting to the direct right on a picnic table about 50 yards from the exit,” he wrote of the suspicious person who turned out to be Crooks.

DOJ Reaches Settlement Agreement With Disgraced Former FBI Official Peter Strzok

The Department of Justice (DOJ) reached a settlement agreement with former FBI agent Peter Strzok, ABC News reported.

The former FBI agent, who was dismissed from the bureau in 2018 after text messages he sent that were critical of former President Donald Trump came to light, reached a settlement in his lawsuit against the DOJ. Strzok’s legal team announced that the U.S. government agreed to pay him $1.2 million to resolve the claims that his privacy rights were violated when his private text messages were disclosed, according to ABC News.
