My friend’s girlfriend suddenly confessed she used to be a Christian.
And he said that was no biggy for him at all.
She laughed and said she was so glad he understood. She was much happier as a Christina.

People on the Venezuelan Payroll Are STILL Inside the US Government
In a jaw-dropping new interview, @PatrickByrne says U.S. officials were bribed by the Venezuelan government and some are STILL in power:
“We have people in U.S. custody who were in the room when Hugo Chávez and Fidel Castro arranged $20 million in payments… to U.S. officials.”
Byrne says he’s under oath not to name names – until certain arrests are made.
But he confirms: Yes, they actively interfered and delayed @realDonaldTrump on Venezuela and the voting machines.”
“There are people of such seniority, secretly on the payroll, it will shake this nation.”
“We have diaries. We have the witnesses. It’s all documented.”
He adds: “Some of these traitors have already been exposed. More are coming.”
This wasn’t just foreign corruption.
This was an intelligence-level counterattack against America… from within.

Also mentioned by both Emerald and Byrne is Ric Grenell, who may be ‘compromised’.
And, per Byrne: there are ‘some people around Donald Trump who have worked very, very hard to convince Trump to bury the hatchet with Venezuela’.
Election theft by Venezuela coupled with US insider corruption with Venezuela appear to be major reasons Trump is pushing hard on Venezuela right now.
Trump may be hoping someone will flip or something else will change to stop full on kinetic war. ABN
Self-deception
Self-deception begins within seconds of listening or speaking.
Once committed to an interpretation or tending toward one, the brain builds on it quickly.
Once an interpretation has been built upon, the brain remembers it as what truly happened even if that is false.
This is normal. The human brain has evolved to use self-deception.
This probably happened because truer forms of communication are complex and use a lot of time. They can also be confusing and difficult.
Confusion, difficulty, and complexity interfere with social cohesion and motivation.
Strong self-deception deceives others better than weak self-deception or no self-deception. In this way, it promotes social cohesion and motivation.
Self-deception can be observed and understood if it is caught quickly. The best way to catch it is through a technique like FIML.
Self-deception is a kind of neurosis, delusion, false cognition. Nevertheless, we are so used to it, we can feel lost without it.
If self-deception is discovered many times through FIML practice, it does not present as a philosophy or attitude or whole picture of the mind. Nor does it present as a neurosis, delusion, or false cognition.
Rather it presents as a composite of many pixels—many small instances—of observed and corrected mistakes.
Thus seen as an aggregation of many small instances, self-deception gradually is lessened.

He carried Y-DNA haplogroup J1a2b and mtDNA U5a1. His maternal lineage, associated with European hunter-gatherers, was widespread among Indo-Europeans. His paternal lineage, J1a2b, has been previously detected in the Khvalynsk culture; a downstream of this haplogroup also dominates the Y-DNA of the Kura-Araxes culture, possibly suggesting a dispersal of J1a2b from the Caucasus into the Steppe, where a related branch persisted and became the main haplogroup of the Kura-Araxes culture.
The man, belonging to the Paleoeuropoid/Protoeuropoid type, stood roughly 180 cm tall (498mm femur length) and possessed a notably massive and robust skull, with a very long cranial length of 193 mm, massive cranial width of 151 mm, and a very broad cheekbone width of 147 mm.
In Inner Asia, the Bronze Age begins with the emergence of the Afanasievo culture, which spread across vast regions of southern Siberia and Central Asia. Its sites are known from western and central Mongolia, eastern Kazakhstan, the Dzungarian Basin, and even the Middle Zarafshan, though the highest concentration lies in the Altai and the Minusinsk Basin. AMS radiocarbon dates place the Afanasievo horizon between 3300–2500 BCE. Both anthropological and ancient DNA evidence indicate that the Afanasievo culture arose from a migration of populations from Eastern Europe, specifically from the Yamnaya cultural sphere (Solodovnikov et al. 2023).
The Altai Afanasievo individuals rank among the tallest ancient populations of Eurasia (Solodovnikov et al. 2018). A similarly tall stature is seen among Afanasievo individuals from central Mongolia, based on limited material from the Shatar-Chuluu cemetery (where the reconstructed individual was found) near the Khangai range (Tumen 1978; Solodovnikov, Erdene 2022).
Two published Afanasievo individuals have been identified as fifth-degree relatives. One was buried at Inskaya Dol in the northwestern Altai (I11752, BARN-039) [Narasimhan et al. 2019], and the other at the Shatar-Chuluu cemetery in central Mongolia (SHT002, AT-25 (I6221, the reconstructed individual)) [Jeong et al. 2020; Ringbauer et al. 2023]. Although these sites lie 1,410 km apart, both individuals share the characteristic Afanasievo/Yamnaya genetic profile and cluster closely with other Afanasievo samples. Their biological relationship implies that at least one ancestor in their family line must have traveled several hundred kilometers within their lifetime.

Can you be aware of nothing? The rare sleep experience scientists are trying to understand
For some people, sleep brings a peculiar kind of wakefulness. Not a dream, but a quiet awareness with no content. This lesser-known state of consciousness may hold clues to one of science’s biggest mysteries: what it means to be conscious.
The state of conscious sleep has been widely described for centuries by different Eastern contemplative traditions. For instance, the Indian philosophical school of the Advaita Vedanta, grounded in the interpretation of the Vedas – one of the oldest texts in Hinduism – understands deep sleep or “sushupti” as a state of “just awareness” in which we merely remain conscious.
Similar interpretations of deep sleep are made by the Dzogchen lineage in Indo-Tibetan Buddhism. According to their teachings, different meditative practices can be followed during wakefulness and sleep to acknowledge the “essence” of consciousness. One of those meditative practices is that of dream yoga or luminosity yoga, which enables the practitioner to recognise the states of dream and sleep. This aims to bring them to a state of “pure awareness”, a state of being awake inside sleep without thoughts, images or even a sense of self.
For western science, this state poses a conundrum. How can you be aware without being aware of something? If these reports are accurate, they challenge mainstream theories that treat consciousness as always about an object. For example, my awareness of the laptop in front of me, or the blue sky rising above my window, or my own breathing. The existence of this state pushes us to reconsider what consciousness is.
In those studies, we found a spectrum of experiences we called “objectless sleep experiences” – conscious states that appear to lack an object of awareness. In all cases, participants who alluded to an objectless sleep experience reported having had an episode during sleep that lacked sensory content and that merely involved a feeling of knowing that they were aware.
This is an interesting article, sent by an alert reader.
From a Buddhist POV, these states are samadhi or dhyana states, which are essential to successful Buddhist practice.
The reason these states are essential is they provide the experience of pure awareness, pure consciousness with zero self and zero referent.
The Mind-Only Buddhist explanation of these states is they are touching on or engaging with the universal Tathagata, or enlightened mind.
In modern philosophical terms, these states are awareness of ‘mind at large’ or some version of ‘quantum consciousness’ or the fundamental ‘field of consciousness or thought’, which is posited as a primary component of the cosmos.
These states are extremely valuable and worth remembering and pursuing.
In higher levels of samadhi, enormous joy or bliss is experienced along with a total absence of self or referent.
The highest samadhi state is perfect equanimity coupled with deep awareness of the Tathagata.
Samadhi states eventually bump up against nirvana.
I love Western civilization, but the one thing it deeply lacks is a tradition of knowing about and using samadhi, which at the very least provides a marvelous and wonderful place to stand aside from all that is mundane.
Philosophically, Buddhism recognizes ‘relative truth or reality’ (mundane reality) and ‘ultimate truth or reality’, the full knowing of which constitutes Buddhist enlightenment.
In many Buddhist traditions, samadhi states are understood to be natural and attainable by anyone who tries diligently.
If you are fortunate enough to experience samadhi without trying, be thankful!
You have gained a deep realization.
One of the most difficult parts of Buddhism for non-Buddhists to understand is the experience of samadhi.
Also fundamental to Buddhism is the experience of a clear conscience, an honest and pure mind which is gained through wholesome moral and ethical thoughts and behaviors. ABN
Holding a Scammer’s Computer Hostage
These people are NOT politicians as we understand the term
You have to understand. These people are NOT politicians as we understand the term. They do not represent the interests of their constituents. They’re political constructs. Bad actors sloppily regurgitating scripted rhetoric at the behest of their oligarchical overlords. All to provide the illusion of participatory governance to the peasantry. They represent an international oligarchical order and they’re desperate to hold on to power.
The hideous compact between corrupt Western politicians and invasive migrants
__________
Africa and all the world benefitted from Western science, agriculture, medicine, and money.
The result is massive increases of populations everywhere, resulting in migrants to the West who have next to no idea of the bounty they have received.
Yet have been trained to hate White people.
This must change, and it is only the West that can accomplish that, as usual.
The left in the West today is a hideous compact between corrupt politicians and invasive migrants.
Both of whom want power and money at any cost (to others).
Idiotic ideologues are also to blame, but you can’t fix stupid. ABN

Preview / Preliminary Findings: Geosynchronous Monitoring Protocol (GEOSYNC)
Over the past few months, I have spent several hundred hours building a live, physics-based monitoring system for Earth’s rotation, gravity field, magnetic field, and crustal activity. It uses only authoritative open data (IERS, GFZ, USGS, EONET, standard geomagnetic reconstructions).
Before I share more in a few weeks, I wanted to offer up a complete summary as it is now monitoring live and recording data. First, the system doesn’t assume any specific theory. It literally just watches, in physical units:
- Length-of-day and polar wobble
- J2 (Earth’s flattening term)
- Surface angular momentum budgets (AAM/OAM/HAM/SLAM)
- Field strength, pole drift, SAA behavior, reverse flux
- Global volcanic and seismic patterns
- Similarity to known paleo excursions
Right now, several independent indicators are all elevated at once:
- J2 anomaly: >3σ above late-20th-century baseline [σ = standard deviation]
- Surface Attribution residual (SAI): >3σ (surface forcing and wobble no longer match)
- Geomagnetic stress: in a “critical” band for the first time in the instrumental record under this framework
- Crustal destabilization: rare reactivations + synchronized activity patterns
- Paleo similarity: strongest match to documented excursion onsets (e.g. Laschamp)
Both D* J2 and D* SAI are in highly anomalous states
Historically, you do see large J2 spikes or individual anomalies by themselves (namely in the 70s, with return to nominal conditions throughout the 80s) but the system recovered. However, what you do not see in the modern data is what we see now: high J2 + high SAI residual + critical geomagnetic stress + critical crustal stress + excursion-like paleo match, all at the same time. In other words, we are no longer in a “quiet, stable dipole” state on this planet.
We are in an excursion-like, high-stress phase of the Earth system, as far as rotation, geomagnetism, and crustal response are concerned.
There is absolutely no refuting this.
This does not mean I can tell you “what day something happens,” or guarantee any particular outcome with really any level of confidence. In my opinion though, only two broad paths exist at this point (and the paleo record does show both):
- The system partially recovers (indicators relax, timelines stretch)
- The system continues to deteriorate and commits to an excursion-class transition
Which path we’re on depends on how these indicators move from here.
If current deterioration persists or accelerates, the odds of a major reorganization in the coming years rise significantly. If key indicators stabilize or reverse (J2, SAI residual, field decay, pole drift, SAA behavior, crustal stress), risk stretches or falls.
However, based on the data, we entered an anomalous state roughly 50 years ago but underwent said recovery. Such a precursor-recovery-crisis pattern is documented in excursion literature (e.g. Laschamp). Early instabilities (like 1970s-80s D*_J2 spikes) probe the system but recover when the geomagnetic infrastructure is intact. Unfortunately,
50 years ago we did not have convergent, rapidly accelerating anomalous conditions across Earth rotation, geomagnetism, and crustal destabilization over known LLVPs as we do today. And we have already exceeded the peak instability of D*_J2 from back then.
Nevertheless, the point of GEOSYNC is to make that evolution measurable, not speculative.
With all of the above in mind, people have a right to know the present state:
- Multi-σ departures from baseline in rotation/gravity
- Synchronized anomalies in field behavior and crustal activity
- A combined configuration that, in the modern record, has no prior analogue and looks most like known excursion phases in the paleo record
In the coming weeks, I will release:
- The complete GEOSYNC v1.0 findings and outputs
- Full indicator definitions
- Comprehensive data library
- Backtests showing when these metrics did not fire together
- Live dashboards / logs so anyone can independently verify, critique, or falsify the framework using the same public data (possibly early 2026)
NOTE: Please, do not read too far into the similarity calibration to Laschamp. This is most likely because there is simply substantially more data and literature around Laschamp then just about any other excursion we have identified. More to come.
Trump reiterates termination of Biden ‘autopen’ documents
Any and all Documents, Proclamations, Executive Orders, Memorandums, or Contracts, signed by Order of the now infamous and unauthorized “AUTOPEN,” within the Administration of Joseph R. Biden Jr., are hereby null, void, and of no further force or effect. Anyone receiving “Pardons,” “Commutations,” or any other Legal Document so signed, please be advised that said Document has been fully and completely terminated, and is of no Legal effect. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

And well he should. The people who authorized or used the autopen without Biden’s knowledge committed serious crimes, which amount to a coup d’état, a treasonous usurpation of presidential powers. The migration invasion alone is an act of treason if the autopen was used to aid or abet it. ABN
Trump freezes all immigration applications from 19 countries – as White House prepares to expand travel ban to more than 30 nations
The White House has paused all immigration applications from 19 countries and canceled citizenship ceremonies across the US, citing national security and public safety concerns.
The freeze could affect more than 1.5 million people who had asylum applications pending and more than 50,000 who received asylum grants under the Biden administration, The New York Times reports.
President Donald Trump is also considering expanding the travel ban to more than 30 countries, according to the New York Post.
The new policy memorandum, released Tuesday night, cites last week’s ‘terror attack’ in D.C. where Afghan man Rahmanullah Lakanwal was arrested for allegedly killing one National Guard member and wounding another.
The ban applies to citizens of Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen while the restricted access applied to people from Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela.
It puts a stop to all immigration related activities, including a temporary suspension on the completion of citizenship ceremonies, involving legal permanent residents of the 19 countries, per CBS News.
‘The Trump administration is making every effort to ensure individuals becoming citizens are the best of the best. Citizenship is a privilege, not a right,’ said US Citizenship and Immigration Services spokesman Matthew Tragesser.
Biden’s handlers funded and orchestrated a treasonous invasion of USA. We need even more correction than just this. I believe Trump will do more but has to manage politics and public opinion to be fully successful, hence the measured steps. ABN
