Aligning with the concept of using tariffs to fund government operations, President Trump has announced his intention to create the External Revenue Service. It appears to be a collection and enforcement mechanism to gather income from tariffs, duties and other sources that will pay for access to the U.S. consumer market.
One of the issues the External Revenue Service will likely address is the de minimis loophole.
The de minimis loophole comes from back in the 1930s. The idea back then was, say you went on a vacation to Paris, you shouldn’t have to file customs paperwork or pay taxes if you decided to ship some little Eiffel Tower statues to your friends back home.
Congress in 2015 then raised the de minimis threshold from $200 to $800. However, the e-commerce world exploded, and Chinese companies began using the de minimis loophole to ship cheap goods (ex. Temu and Shein) into the USA direct to consumers without paying any customs duty.
It was reported last year that the U.S. was on track to receive a billion packages through the de minimis loophole that aren’t taxed and don’t have customs slips saying what they are. Making matters worse, illegal items are slipping through the cracks, including, knockoffs, unsafe items and even chemicals used to make fentanyl. The worst abuser that exploits this de minimis loophole is, by far, China.
More than 40 people have been bagged by the Santa Monica police for allegedly preying on the thousands of homes left abandoned there and in the neighboring Pacific Palisades.
About 88,000 Los Angeles County residents are under mandatory evacuation orders as the 24,000-acre Palisades Fire and other blazes burn across the region — with tens of thousands more who were previously told to flee their homes.
A 5900-year-old whitebark pine forest has been discovered due to the melting of alpine ice in the Rocky mountains. Scientists found more than 30 trees approximately 3100 metres above sea level – 180 metres higher than the present tree line – while carrying out an archaeological survey on the Beartooth plateau in Wyoming.
This “offers us a window into past conditions at high elevations”, says Cathy Whitlock at Montana State University. Whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis) don’t grow at this elevation now, so these ones had to grow at a time when the climate was warmer, she says.
The vast majority of anti-White literature is written and published by Jews. This thread is by no means exhaustive, so feel free to add more examples in the comments. — 1) 𝐁𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞, 𝐁𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐚𝐮𝐦
This book is a perfect example of how Jews repackage anti-White narratives to target even those Whites who attempt to “do good.” Applebaum accuses Whites of weaponizing allyship to uphold “White supremacy” in a subtle, self-serving way. It’s a no-win situation—if you try to help, you’re labeled manipulative; if you don’t, you’re called complicit.

Hating and degrading your host society is an incontrovertible sign of a parasitic culture, one that lives on the wealth of another society while at the same time reviling and ruining it. If the parasite feels compassion for the host, it will not be a parasite anymore. Unfortunately, Jews have also taught other groups to form parasitic cultures or encouraged them to indulge parasitic elements of their cultures. We see that in Hindus who form tribal cliques inside USA, radical feminists who formed cliques that have debased many major institutions, particularly academia (and fire departments), woke ideology in general. Human parasitism is a nasty subject because human parasites form nasty cultures, but we have to deal with it. This topic must rise to global awareness throughout the West or we will be completely destroyed very soon. For Westerners who still have trouble grasping this topic, notice that your moral sensibilities have been commandeered to control your mind and emotions, thus allowing the parasites to digest you in vivo.

This is KOBK real-world game theory at work. Trump knows that taking Greenland is his best course of action because if he doesn’t take Greenland, Russia or China will and then one of them will control the global far North. The major ignored piece of why things happen the ways they do in this world is the KOBK imperative. It is at play in every major political act in the world. I am not a fan of KOBK or promoting KOBK. It’s simply the underlying reality of how power functions on this planet. One reason the West would do well to form an alliance with Russia is that alliance would be stronger than anyone else. The difficulty in forming that alliance, however, is many factions in the West hate Russia and want to ‘kill’ it, not unite with it. From a KOBK point of view, this makes sense. ABN
The opposite side of the country from California and twenty years ‘behind’, yet Maine is racing down the same slippery slope of bogus morality coupled with graft and corruption as California. Politicians who believe they are ‘leaders’ rather than representatives are mesmerized by their own delusions (and personal greed). ABN
The CDC’s Center for Forecasting and Outbreak Analytics (CFA) has partnered with the CIA-linked Palantir to cement the public-private model of invasive surveillance in “public health,” all while pushing the U.S. national security state and Silicon Valley even closer together.
The Pentagon and Silicon Valley are in the midst of cultivating an even closer relationship as the Department of Defense (DoD) and Big Tech companies seek to jointly transform the American healthcare system into one that is “artificial intelligence (AI)-driven.” The alleged advantages of such a system, espoused by the Army itself, Big Tech and Pharma executives as well as intelligence officers, would be unleashed by the rapidly developing power of so-called “predictive medicine,” or “a branch of medicine that aims to identify patients at risk of developing a disease, thereby enabling either prevention or early treatment of that disease.”
This will apparently be achieved via mass interagency data sharing between the DoD, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the private sector. In other words, the military and intelligence communities, as well as the public and private sector elements of the US healthcare system, are working closely with Big Tech to “predict” diseases and treat them before they occur (and even before symptoms are felt) for the purported purpose of improving civilian and military healthcare.
This cross-sector team plans to deliver this transformation of the healthcare system by first utilizing and sharing the DoD’s healthcare dataset, which is the most “comprehensive…in the world.” It seems, however, based on the programs that already utilize this predictive approach and the necessity for “machine learning” in the development of AI technology, that this partnership would also massively expand the breadth of this healthcare dataset through an array of technologies, methods and sources.
Yet, if the actors and institutions involved in lobbying for and implementing this system indicate anything, it appears that another—if not primary—purpose of this push towards a predictive AI-healthcare infrastructure is the resurrection of a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)-managed and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)-supported program that Congress officially “shelved” decades ago. That program, Total Information Awareness (TIA), was a post 9/11 “pre-crime” operation which sought to use mass surveillance to stop terrorists before they committed any crimes through collaborative data mining efforts between the public and private sector.
The DNI can assemble material from any silo. Meaning the DNI can reach into any IC silo and extract anything they want.
Under the original authorities given to the DNI, this authority exists. So, let’s spread the wings on this office and do exactly what it is permitted to do, only this time extract for the purpose of showing the President what is happening in every silo.
Almost every day an intelligence community overview assessment is compiled, it’s called the Presidential Daily Briefing or PDB.
The PDB contains content primarily produced by the CIA. However, in the modern era, the PDB is assembled and enhanced by adding information from other intelligence agencies (silos). The Director of National Intelligence assembles it; the position Tulsi Gabbard has recently been nominated for.
The DNI (now Tulsi) compiles the information, then delivers the PDB to the President, the National Security Advisor (now Mike Waltz) and the list of people assigned by the President to review it.
…With an incoming President Trump administration, the CIA/IC use of the PDB to manipulate outcomes will be even more on display. With that in mind, here’s one approach that might be worth considering.
Make the CIA/IC (now Ratcliffe/Tulsi) provide a footnote for every assertion of fact within the PDB.
Put the footnotes into a classified appendix that includes sources and methods and give the appendix only to the National Security Advisor, now Mike Waltz. [ie. ‘Review and return’]
Let NSA Mike Waltz then review the attributions of source material in the White House SCIF. Then, if any concerns are noted, Waltz can turn to the National Security Council with a generalized statement describing the concern saying, “check this out.”
The NSC can then dig into the granular details and return with their own independent assessment about the validity of the information.
The National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz, can then go question the specific CIA/IC silo about any contradiction that might be at issue.
Do this enough times, and I predict the PDB will quickly change in both tone and content. The originators of the intelligence assessment, the CIA and other agencies, will be on notice that their homework is being checked by the National Security Council.
In essence, the DNI *CAN BE* deployed like a super strong cross-silo inspector general’s office. Force the other IC silos to comply with the demands of the DNI. This has never been done. But the DNI has this unique power.
The DNI can make the FBI, DOJ, DOJ-NSD, DoD, DoS and CIA provide anything and everything they demand. Instead of the other silos using blocks and threats against the office of the President, use the authority of the DNI to get them without confrontation. Then use the DNI to declassify the documents (if requested by potus), instead of the originating silo.
Can you see how the DNI office can be repurposed to be a seriously strong weapon in the toolbox of the President, against the schemes of those inside the various IC silos. The DNI becomes much more important than the CIA Director, NSA Director, FBI Director, Attorney General, etc, because the DNI can just show up and say, “give me this.” That’s the whole functional purpose of the DNI office that has never been exerted; let’s flippin’ use it.
Let’s use the office of the DNI as the central information hub that takes information from inside the corrupt silos, then provides that information to the President who puts sunlight upon it. Each corrupt silo penetrated with disinfectant. This could begin a process to pull down the shadow operations and let the American public see what has been happening inside our IC apparatus.
