‘The leaders behind EPIC City have engaged in a radical plot to destroy hundreds of acres of beautiful Texas land and line their own pockets,’ Paxton said in the statement.
‘I will relentlessly bring the full force of the law against anyone who thinks they can ignore the rules and hurt Texans.
‘The unlawful land project known as EPIC City will be stopped, and those responsible will be barred from ever creating another fraudulent operation like this again.’
Plans for EPIC City, which has since rebranded as, The Meadow, suggested 1,000 homes, Islamic schools, and a mosque all over more than 400-acres in Hunt and Collin counties.
When we see a human behavior as a “sign of something else” we begin magnifying it.
When we live in a culture where people normally do this, we tend to think it is right to do this even to ourselves.
People often feel relieved when their “signs of something else” have been analyzed—either professionally or by self-administered questionnaires—to reveal what that “something else” is.
Once analyzed and categorized, the “something else” itself becomes a sign, or a meta-sign, a diagnosis that explains behavior while directing us to a cure based on whatever that “something else” is.
The DSM reads like a Ptolemaic system of circles and spheres. In it signs are identified, quantified, and classified to indicate what they stand for, what their “something else” is.
Professionals are needed to do this work of course, and though the manual rests on “scientific” tests and other measurements, it changes every few years and very few people are getting better because of it. Moreover there is very little consensus among thoughtful people, including psychologists, about what the classifications of “mental illness” or “personality disorder” actually mean.
This is a sure sign that something is wrong.
I submit that what is wrong is our systems of classification of mental disorder do not describe the actual disorders because these descriptions exist on a different level from the disorders themselves.
It is widely observed that many disorders as currently classified blend into each other, share attributes, are co-morbid. It is also widely known that when disorders are extreme, sufferers can exhibit symptoms of all of them.
This indicates that the human mind is a complex system that becomes disordered by over-emphasizing or under-emphasizing parts of its system.
And this may be why drugs, psychedelics, shock therapy, or shamanic rituals sometimes help. Because they reset the entire system.
If you don’t want to use drugs, can’t get psychedelics, don’t want to undergo shock therapy or shamanic ritual, I suggest you try FIML practice. If you have a good partner, are fairly intelligent, and want to truly optimize your psychology (not just terminate your ambiguous disorder), FIML will probably do this for you. In fact, even if you can get psychedelics, FIML is better.
A disorder is unique to its system and though we can speak of some generalities that may apply to it, these generalities exist at a different level from the disorder itself and cannot provide a cure.
To cure a disorder the disorder must be experienced as it is happening by the sufferer. If too much of the disorder is revealed at once or the sufferer is simply confronted with its classification, more harm than good may result. If small bits of the disorder are revealed over a longish period of time, however, the sufferer will be much more likely to gain beneficial insight into the disorder.
In my view, all people everywhere are deeply disordered and thus all people everywhere would benefit from FIML practice. People who may not benefit from FIML include, among others, those who cannot self-observe, who are severely alcoholic, whose disorder prohibits self-analysis (narcissism, for example) and, sadly, those who cannot find an honest partner.
Same Unit Tied to the Candace Owens Hit Squad? I’m not saying it’s a coincidence… but explain THIS
Look at this photo from inside the secure zone at Charlie Kirk’s last event. Dead center: a man in a Marseille hat standing literally feet away from Charlie, inside security perimeters that regular people couldn’t even dream of getting through.
Why does this matter? Camp de Carpiagne — the elite French Foreign Legion training base — is 18 miles from Marseille. Same exact region. Same exact unit that intel sources have repeatedly tied to the active plot against Candace Owens… and now we find one of their boys in a Marseille cap inside the kill box the day Charlie drops?
This isn’t “random European tourist” energy. This is “I have credentials, I know exactly where to stand, and nobody stopped me” energy.
The White House just published what Brussels has spent a decade censoring: Europe has shrunk from 25% of global GDP to 14%, is drifting toward “civilizational erasure,” and on its current course “will be unrecognizable in 20 years.” Not Russian intelligence. Not dissident analysts. Washington, in its own national strategy, marking the time of death.
Europe’s tragedy isn’t that it was defeated by an external force. Its tragedy is that it volunteered for collapse, mistaking moral vanity for strategy, self-harm for principle, and neocon applause for sovereignty. 19 rounds of sanctions meant to cripple Russia instead detonated inside Europe’s own chest cavity; industries fleeing, energy gutted, borders unmoored, farmers revolting, wages eroding, dissent criminalized under “values” crafted by technocrats who have never worked a real job, with utter contempt for Europeans.
And while Europe recited slogans, Russia built substance, built an economic juggernaut. The “gas station with nukes” they mocked is now the 4th largest economy on Earth by PPP, expanding faster than the entire European Union since the SMO began, reindustrializing, reorienting, rewiring Eurasia. The target of Europe’s crusade grew stronger, the crusaders grew poorer. This wasn’t irony. This was inevitability.
Now comes the most brutal line in the US strategy: the warning that some European states soon “may not be strong enough to remain reliable allies.” This is Washington stepping back from a burning house with the calm of an arsonist writing the incident report. The very patron that pushed Europe toward confrontation, long before Trump, is now drafting its alibi, framing Europe’s collapse as an unfortunate accident rather than the predictable consequence of policies its Deepstate encouraged and Brussels enforced with missionary zeal.
The EU won’t recognize the downloading of humiliation, because it arrived disguised as loyalty, and because the script being used to abandon the continent is the same script Europe still insists on performing.
A continent that once birthed Western civilization now prosecutes its citizens for speech, crushes its own farmers under riot shields, torches its industry for green dogma, and markets the whole spectacle as enlightenment. It surrendered its energy to ideology, its industry to Davos hallucinations, its security to America’s whims, and its future to compound interest. A civilization cannot live on abstractions, but its elites can, because they have engineered a system where the costs fall on the people and the graft float upward to those who never bear the consequences.
The NSS isn’t a strategy. It’s a confession in plain sight; Russia absorbed the blow, recalibrated, and rose; Europe dissolved into the very illusions it mistook for strength, while Washington, already preparing the next chapter, quietly wipes its hands of the consequences.
The deep, largely unrecognized, source of Europe and the West’s precipitous decline is we have been infiltrated by hostile, violent gangs which have taken over all Western high-ground.
All of our institutions have been infiltrated and turned against us.
All of them.
Consider what backward Somali gangs were able to do in just a few decades.
Had they not been caught, consider the wealth and power they would have amassed and held.
That was their motive.
Then consider gangs in the past who have quietly infiltrated the West and taken over.
Consider the payoff for their bold plan:
Immense power and wealth, control of all major Western institutions, the power to mind-control and lead Western peoples to their deaths.
That was and still is their motive.
But they are smarter than the Somalis.
Not only have they not been caught, they convinced us to pay for our own execution.
Many do not fully understand this because they are so soft and weak they refuse to contemplate the clandestine violence that has been waged for many generations against talented Western young people.
Why young people?
Because the smartest ones can be identified early and lobotomized, poisoned or maimed before they become adults.
This allows those young victims to live and cause despair and resignation in their communities, but renders them incapable of fighting back or understanding what has happened to them.
It is close to impossible to catch the poisoners and lobotomizers in the act. After one roofie, a lobotomy takes but a few minutes to perform.
And a goon can be trained to do it.
The deed can be done tens of thousands of times per year throughout the West, and very few will notice the pattern.
Put on your ruthless warrior hat and realize the deep reason the West is falling so fast.
It’s not just due to ideas, pathological altruism, the nepotism of our enemies.
Free-speech—real free speech with real, uncensored reach, is the thing that can protect us most of all from totalitarians, authoritarians and a dictatorial AI, should something like that evolve and gain power.
Many of us are willing to do all we can to protect free speech, but few of us have the power and reach of a Durov or Musk.
This is but one example of why it is important for us to support wealthy and powerful elites when they are doing the right thing.
Free-speech is our strongest protection against any form of AI gone wild.
Only a loud and insistent, well-informed public, whose speech cannot be throttled by politicians, bureaucrats or AI, will be able to stop an AI algorithm that is going off the rails. ABN
This Eastern Hunter-Gatherer individual was found in the Samara region. His Y-DNA was R1b-P297, and his mtDNA U5a1d. Pigmentation analysis indicates that he carried genes for light skin, light hair, and blue eyes. His cranial measurements include a medium-large cranial length of 181 mm, a medium-small cranial width of 135 mm, and a large cheek width of 137 mm.
The idea of a distinct Sub-Ural population stratum emerging in deep antiquity was developed on the basis of Early Neolithic skulls recovered from burials near the villages of Chekalino and Lebyazhinka in the Samara region. This population was classified as belonging to what is termed the Ancienturalic race. [Khokhlov, 2017]
The concept of the Ancienturalic race was introduced by anthropologist Viktor Bunak. He proposed that a unique anthropological formation arose in the Ural region during the Neolithic, possibly as early as the Paleolithic. This group possessed a set of traits intermediate between Caucasoids and Mоngolоids, yet developed independently of both, originating from a very ancient, autochthonous layer. The male skull from Lebyazhinka IV, associated with the Elshan culture, like many other individuals belonging to the EHG cluster, exhibits precisely this combination of features.
The conservative-dominated court made the decision on Friday. It has not set a date for oral arguments in the case, but it is likely to be early next year. A decision would then be expected by the summer.
On the president’s first day back in the White House for his second term, he signed an executive order called ‘Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship.’
The order declared that children born on US soil to illegal immigrants and those on temporary visas would not automatically become citizens.
There is no reasonable interpretation of ‘birthright citizenship’ which includes anchor babies born of illegals or wealthy anchor-baby tourists who travel to USA to gain citizenship for their offspring. ABN
Somali refugees in Minnesota have committed the ‘biggest theft of taxpayer dollars in US history’ and local Democratic officials were ‘fully complicit’ in the scheme, White House officials declared Friday night.
Federal authorities announced this week that at least 86 people – mostly within small Somali communities in the state – have stolen more than $1 billion in public funds from programs meant to feed children, assist the homeless and provide autism therapy.
The suspects allegedly ran companies that billed Minnesota state officials for millions of dollars in social services that were never actually rendered in three separate fraud schemes.
It has since been revealed that Representative Ilhan Omar and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had connections with at least some of the Somali refugees charged in the massive scheme.
BTW, the West has other greedy clans, some of which which engage in widespread covert violence, living among us for many decades; and many centuries is some cases. ABN
As a Japanese person, I have a lot of mixed feelings about the United States…
But on this 80th anniversary of the end of the war, I will say this with absolute certainty: It is Americans—not Chinese—who have truly earned the trust of the Japanese people!
They are willing to put themselves at risk to protect us. That is the result of 80 years of history built up since the war!
Of course, not every single American is like that, but the number of Americans who genuinely like Japan is definitely increasing, and they are the ones trying to re-examine history
Psychopaths are typically portrayed as men in blockbuster hits – whether it’s Patrick Bateman in American Psycho or The Joker in The Dark Knight.
But a new study has shed light on female psychopaths, and the key traits they possess.
Researchers from Université Libre de Bruxelles surveyed 492 people to understand whether there is a link between emotional functioning and dark personality traits.
Their analysis revealed that higher levels of alexithymia and anhedonia were associated with psychopathy – but only in women.
Alexithymia – also called emotional blindness – is characterised by not being able to understand one’s own emotions.
Anhedonia, meanwhile, describes a near–complete absence of enjoyment, motivation, and interest.
‘For male psychopaths this may veer towards physical domination through violence, bullying and threats.
‘For female psychopaths this may veer towards manipulation through seduction, relational aggression, and spreading rumours and lies about people aimed at gaining personal advantage and preferment over those people.’
