OnlyFans and the decline of the West?

The decline of the West has not been caused by OnlyFans or anything like it. It has been caused by a mind-control psyop against white people. It started by relentlessly attacking white boys and men in the 1950s. Yes, boys because if you disable the best of them while they are still young, and leave them semi-functional, they will bring their communities down for years and you win. Basic unrestricted asymmetric warfare. Then in the 1960s and 70s, white women became empowered and were taught to attack white men, the patriarchy. Many are so dumb they are still doing it today. One side destroys the other, does your work for you. More basic unrestricted asymmetric warfare. Flash forward to today. White women have become Karens and/or are no longer women at all. Or have been degraded to OnlyFans. It was an easy victory by a multigenerational opponent who was willing to attack children and poison and maim anyone who might resist them well before they could or did. Surprised Felix does not know this. The decline of the West has never had an intellectual or moral cause. It is due to unrestricted, multigenerational asymmetric warfare. The rotten fruit is all around us. ABN

Water ice buried at Mars’ equator is over 2 miles thick

The Mars Express orbiter has detected enough water ice buried beneath the Red Planet’s equator to cover the entire planet in a shallow ocean if melted.

A European Space Agency (ESA) probe has found enough water to cover Mars in an ocean between 4.9 and 8.9 feet (1.5 and 2.7 meters) deep, buried in the form of dusty ice beneath the planet’s equator.

The finding was made by ESA’s Mars Express mission, a veteran spacecraft that has been engaged in science operations around Mars for 20 years now. While it’s not the first time that evidence for ice has been found near the Red Planet’s equator, this new discovery is by far the largest amount of water ice detected there so far and appears to match previous discoveries of frozen water on Mars.

“Excitingly, the radar signals match what we expect to see from layered ice and are similar to the signals we see from Mars’ polar caps, which we know to be very ice rich,” said lead researcher Thomas Watters of the Smithsonian Institution in the United States in an ESA statement.

The deposits are thick, extended 3.7km (2.3) miles underground, and topped by a crust of hardened ash and dry dust hundreds of meters thick. The ice is not a pure block but is heavily contaminated by dust. While its presence near the equator is a location more easily accessible to future crewed missions, being buried so deep means that accessing the water-ice would be difficult.

‘Yet more evidence they are lying about these pipe bombs. Why are they lying? Because they were involved in it, obviously’ — Tucker Carlson

Secret Service Foreknowledge or Criminal Negligence? Damning New Evidence Surfaces In FBI’s January 6 “Pipe Bomb” Story

This video blows the whole J6 insurrection bullshit wide open. It shows there never was an evidentiary leg to stand on. But there was and is glaring evidence of three years of treasonous malfeasance under color of law. All deliberately covered up while the lies about the bomb were used with savage dishonesty for venomous political schemes. ABN

Pentagon issues statement in response to ‘jellyfish’ UAP questions

The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) released a statement Wednesday in response to questions about a newly surfaced video of an alleged unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAP).

What’s now been dubbed a “jellyfish” UAP was allegedly recorded by the U.S. military over a U.S. joint operations base in Iraq around 2018 and released by investigative journalist Jeremy Corbell.

According to Corbell, the object was officially designated a UAP by the Pentagon, and the footage was taken with thermographic/forward-looking infrared radar.

Sue Gough, spokesperson for the DOD, said in a statement that they “do not comment on the authenticity of alleged DOD material that may have been leaked.”

Gough emphasized the DOD’s commitment to openness and accountability while balancing the necessity to protect sensitive information.

“DOD takes public interest in unidentified anomalous phenomena seriously and is committed to openness and accountability to the American people,” the statement continued. “This commitment must be balanced with the department’s obligation to protect sensitive information, sources, and methods. “

The object, which does resemble a jellyfish, can be seen on video moving through a sensitive military installation before moving over water, where it began what Corbell describes as a controlled descent before submerging.

DoD statement smells like a psyop tease to confuse potential enemies. The whole thing does, for that matter. I am not saying it is that but it sure could be that. ABN

US government and defense contractors ‘have multiple undamaged, functional nonhuman craft in their possession’ — Jeremy Corbell

“I can confirm to you, with direct knowledge, that we have multiple Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena programs currently active. Some were inherited from previous legacy endeavors, each with specialized mandates related to the non-human intelligence aspect of the phenomenon.

“These are currently under the authority of the Department of Defense, multiple U.S., joint allied intelligence agencies, and defense contractors, including Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman.

“Those organizations have multiple undamaged, functional non-human craft in their possession, and have had these for a long time. They have been exploiting them for derivative technologies, prioritizing U.S. weapons advancement.”

Important to keep in mind that many of these reports may be propaganda designed to influence potential enemies of USA, including China, Russia, Iran. Why would only USA have access to alien technology? For many years, US neocons have been behaving recklessly in the world as if they have a super-weapon. If you were Xi Jinping, where would you place your bet? There has to be a reason we are seeing so much about ‘alien technology’ coming out now but less about the aliens themselves. ABN
