‘Soft’ totalitarianism will kill us all; free speech is the only antidote
Ursula is pushing leftist ‘soft’ totalitarianism, wrapped in smarmy ‘morality’. What she wants is to control European minds by controlling what they can say and hear. At this juncture, as AI advances rapidly and security controls become increasingly omnipotent, we must insist on free speech, unrestricted free speech. Restricting speech based on bogus claims of ‘misinformation’ or ‘hate speech’ or whatever Ursula doesn’t like, serves only the totalitarians. With free speech on as many platforms as possible, the citizens of the West will constitute the only repository of information that can compete with AI. ABN
Ashton Forbes NEW information — ‘Ladies and gentlemen, we f’ing got them’
USA-229 is a pair of Naval Ocean Surveillance Satellites (NOSS) in control of the US Navy. Their systems are classified but their purpose is to track boats and airplanes.
The satellites were launched in 2011. BAE Systems was awarded a $50 million contract in 2010 to develop Argus-IR. Testing was spring 2012 consistent with the satellite launch having the Argus payload.
“ARGUS-IR further expands military capability by providing 24-hour, day-night reconnaissance and surveillance capabilities over a much wider area than previously possible,” said Dr. John Antoniades
“ARGUS-IR will provide at least 130 independently steerable video streams to enable real-time tracking of individual targets throughout the field of view.”
This is the real location of USA-229 on March 7th, 2014 and that bubble is the coordinates of the satellite video.
USA-229 relays to NROL-22, which beams the data to ground based computers to produce the fully interactive video.
Ladies and gentlemen, we f’ing got them.
link to post plus video plus more posts on this by Ashton
I have posted much of Ashton’s research and have found it credible enough to keep doing that. There has been a lull in new information for many months. Now this. The ‘bubble’ is the blocked satellite imaging of the Flight MH370, which supposedly was lost in flight and never found. The ‘bubble’ proves we have had this information all along but are still concealing it. Ashton has a wild story by the horns and this looks pretty conclusive. The gist of the story is USA has time-warp technology that can disappear an entire airplane and also do much worse than that. The tech is so powerful it could be world-ending if released and used as a weapon. Further, concise background information on Ashton’s work with links to important video can be found here. ABN

Lucid dreaming isn’t sleep or wakefulness — it’s a new state of consciousness, researchers find
…Perception and memory processing in the lucid dreaming state were found to be different from non-lucid REM sleep. The consciousness of existing in a dream was associated with with beta waves in the right central lobe (which controls spatial awareness and nonverbal memory) and parietal lobe (which controls the sense of touch and spatial awareness). Beta waves are a type of high-frequency electromagnetic activity in the brain involved in conscious thought processes like solving problems or making decisions. Our consciousness is dominated by beta waves when we are awake.
This might explain why there is so much cognitive control in lucid dreams. Dreamers deep in REM sleep have no sense of control over factors like thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, but those in lucid dreaming states do.
…Demirel also linked gamma waves with lucid dreaming. These are the fastest brain waves, which become visible on an EEG at times when the brain is especially alert and focusing on something. When lucid dreaming begins, gamma waves increase in the right precuneus, which is involved in self-referential thinking—thoughts about ourselves and our lives. When we are awake, we often drift into this type of thinking when our minds wander.
Maybe the most mind-bending thing about lucid dreams is that they are, according to the study, similar in the brain to the effects of psychedelic drugs such as LSD and ayahuasca. These types of psychedelic experiences are also associated with the precuneus, whose activity is modified when waking imagery is seen despite having closed eyes (something usually only experienced with psychedelics).
Lucid dreaming and lucid sleeping are important practices in the Buddhist tradition. There is a lot of literature on it and it’s worth the time learning how to do it. For dreaming, napping in a slightly awkward position can help. I spent a year or so napping at noon on a couch with one foot on a table beside the couch, the other on the arm of the couch. That was enough to keep my bodily proprioception semi-conscious so when dreams started I was already slightly lucid. Sleeping on a bus or train is another place to practice. I had an extended period of becoming lucid during deep sleep, or so it seemed to me. Consciousness has many facets and angles. The original title of this article called lucid dreaming a ‘new’ state of consciousness. It is not new at all. It has been part of the samadhi traditions for millennia. ABN
My time in China showed me what we’re up against. Trump’s the first one in decades willing to actually do something about it — Jack Poso
It takes many years to reach this conclusion. I have a somewhat similar background. In the early 2000s, I naively assumed the US intelligence community already knew what Jack is saying about China. Based on that, I figured our politicians and business leaders had been briefed; that they knew the score. The truth was, it took the US government and Western elite longer to figure this out than many Western individuals who had actually lived in China and learned the language. I am not blaming anyone, just pointing out that elites in the West and probably everywhere are no smarter or insightful than ordinary people. Indeed, as a group, elites often behave stupidly. They are held together by psycholinguistic codes and mutual dependency, so they all tend to think alike or form factions that do. Their deep misunderstanding of China can be seen in many other areas — their failure to form an alliance with Russia after the fall of the SU, the Ukraine War, mass third-world immigration, the covid psyop mingled with the incongruous fantasy that deep down all people are the same and all of them will treat you well if you treat them well, and so on. Intel services would do much better if they listened to were led by people who have had real-life ordinary experience in whatever area they want to understand. I am a proud conspiracy theorist, but the examples above show that much of our predicament as citizens (of any nation) is our elites are poorly informed, selfishly tied to each other, and as such stupid. Yes, they do conspire against us and cause great harm but they do that stupidly as well. ABN
Good Stuff – British Officials Worry President Trump Tariffs are Being Leveraged to Support Free Speech
An interesting report from the U.K reflects British government officials who feel their legal position against ‘free speech’ in Great Britain is now part of the negotiations for President Trump’s tariffs. Essentially, the tariff discussion is encompassing more than just tariffs; if the nation does not support traditional freedoms and liberty, they could face stronger tariffs from the USA.
The messenger for this dynamic is not coincidentally Vice President JD Vance, who aligns closely with the tech platforms. The tech control agents are bitterly opposed to President Trump’s tariff position, and this nuance is quite possibly a way to give the tech platforms an ancillary benefit, vis-a-vis free speech support.
The tech industry is facing pressure from the EU and British government to censor and control information content on their platforms. By adding the importance of free speech to the leverage of tariff pressure, President Trump gives both Main Street companies and American Tech Titans something important to their business interests. This is both a smart and righteous approach.
This is an interesting take. If money and business wants it, it will happen. I am optimistic for free speech in the high-tech future. Notice how Jordan has crashed and burned with his anti-free speech pro-psychopath nonsense. How can you make ridiculous assertions when so many are able to answer? And by now, who is willing to not be able to answer? ABN
Meeting with Norwegian PM Jonas Store in White House, President Trump Delivers Remarks on Ukraine/Russia Conflict
President Trump hosted Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre in the Oval Office and took questions from reporters on Thursday. The majority of the question from both the U.S. and Norwegian media encompass the current effort to negotiate a ceasefire in Ukraine.
One of the ceasefire ‘sticking points’ per se’, is that immediately following the breakout of the conflict the government of President Zelenskyy changed many of their constitutional rules to include the legal elimination of opposition parties in the country, removal of religion or faith-based social influence that runs counter to the Ukrainian Nazi mindset, the cessation of elections in Ukraine, and other “emergency measures” intended to assist the stability of Zelenskyy’s government as they entered a war footing.
The results of the legal changes and constitutional framework, which included non-recognition of any lost territory, is now being leveraged by Zelenskyy in negotiations for a ceasefire. President Zelenskyy is now saying the ceasefire terms proposed, which include accepting regional losses of geography to Russia, are not constitutionally possible and he has no power to agree to them.
In essence, Zelenskyy’s emergency government changed the constitutional power of the President, cemented a new constitutional status during war, and now says those previous changes make it impossible to accept proposed terms. This self-fulfilling creation, intentionally done with forethought for exactly this kind of current scenario, is the baseline for frustration toward the Ukraine position. President Trump notes this Ukraine position is frustrating, while thousands die weekly in the process. WATCH:
UPDATE: I do not consider Zelensky to be a Ukrainian or working for the benefit of Ukraine. Crimea is old Russian territory and vital to their access to the Black Sea. Much of Ukraine was always part of Russia, so a lot of the back and forth on territory lost or gained is, sadly, nonsense. Here is a map of languages spoken in the territory in question. It’s a very telling map and ridiculous to pretend the history of this region is not very Russian. Crimea was ‘given’ to Ukraine by Khrushchev at the stroke of a pen. Odessa became a Russian navy harbor in 1794 by decree of the Russian Empress, Catherine the Great. ABN

Consciousness reveals there’s no single objective world — Christian List
Science as we know it won’t explain consciousness
…Over time, humans went from an anthropocentric to a geocentric to a heliocentric and eventually to a more universal view of the world, and each step constituted scientific progress.
Yet the crux is that there is at least one important phenomenon that resists such objectivization or “de-perspectivization,” and that is consciousness itself. If we accept that the core of consciousness is subjective experience, then consciousness is the ultimately subjective phenomenon. The core of my consciousness lies in the fact that I find myself in a world in which there are first-personal facts. I am conscious, I have certain experiences, I am in a particular perceptual state, and so on. First-personal facts are irreducibly subjective. They are “centred” around my perspective as an experiencing subject, and unlike objective facts, they are not invariant under shifts in perspective.
Crucially, each of us is inextricably tied to our own conscious perspective. I can reflect about your experiences and empathize with you; I can hypothetically try to place myself in your shoes; I can try to simulate in my mind what things must be like for you. But I cannot literally leave my own conscious perspective. It is an essential fact about me that I experience the world from my perspective and not from anyone else’s. To be conscious, one might say, is to have a subjective perspective around which some first-personal facts are centred.
…The lesson, I think, is that the attempt to “objectivize” consciousness – to represent it as an ordinary property that can be found in the objective world, like gravity and electromagnetism – fails to do justice to the irreducibly subjective nature of the phenomenon. Physicalist theories of consciousness are not alone in running into that problem; standard versions of dualism face the same problem too. We will better understand consciousness only if our scientific and philosophical theories fully come to terms with the existence of first-personal facts and recognize that reality may not be captured by a single objective book of the world, but only by a library of subjective ones.
This is a good essay. It provides an overview of consciousness studies to frame the worthy assertion that: ‘We will better understand consciousness only if our scientific and philosophical theories fully come to terms with the existence of first-personal facts’. This kind of thinking fits well with Buddhism, and especially well with the Buddhist emphasis on samadhi states, which are deeply subjective. A Buddhist might say samadhi is describable and sharable with someone else who knows it. Or a Buddhist might not say that. The full essay is 2,578 words long and worth reading because the point is well made and the overview fits it very well. It’s quality information briefly stated. ABN
Big bennies for illegals make Minnesota a magnet for illegal aliens and rigged voting
This is how they undermine USA at the state level; and at local levels through similar strategies. This is also happening in Maine; Portland Maine has already fallen. Northern states with old-school, mild mannered rural populations are easy prey for this kind of takeover. In just a few years, these states will be under one-party rule with no way to vote their way out of it. ABN

Norway Exposes Cover-Up of Global Death Surge Among Covid-Vaxxed
Norway has issued a chilling alert to the rest of the world after the nation’s leading scientists exposed a cover-up of data linking a global surge in excess deaths to Covid mRNA “vaccines.”
A group of Norwegian scientists is sounding the alarm after a major study of international mortality data exposed a global cover-up of excess deaths among the “vaccinated.”
While the link between deaths and Covid shots is not new, the researchers found evidence that reporting on the official data had been manipulated to hide the link to the injections.
They uncovered previously unreported data showing that excess deaths skyrocketed among the Covid-vaxxed.
This has been known for a long time among brilliant conspiracy theorists, but it is good to see it going mainstream. Empires rule by lying all the time and it works because the public is slow to see what is really going on and no one is ever punished for the lies, which reveals the deep perfidy of the entire scheme.

Trump lands another brutal blow on defiant Harvard
Donald Trump is planning to pull another billion dollars in funding from Harvard, in the latest brutal blow to the Ivy League.
The White House froze more than $2.2 billion in funding to the school after it rejected demands from the government to reform its hiring, admissions, and teaching practices in order to help fight antisemitism on campus.
White House officials believed the long list of demands they sent Harvard on Friday was a private starting point for negotiations, and they were surprised when Harvard released a letter to the public hitting back.
The shock move by the Ivy League has prompted the Trump administration to be even more heavy-handed with its response, the officials told the WSJ.
Earlier this week, the Department of Education’s Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism announced the freeze of $2.2billion in multi-year grants and $60million in multi-year contract value to Harvard after it refused to comply with reform demands.
The department said that the school is not taking the problem of campus antisemitism seriously and must ‘commit to meaningful change if they wish to continue receiving taxpayer support.’
One can only hope Trump’s purpose is to showcase how unreasonable the hold of Jewish Supremacy is on the federal government and this administration. ABN
SCOTUS has disgraced itself; Justice Alito provides the latest example of why
In sum, literally in the middle of the night, the Court issued unprecedented and legally questionable relief without giving the lower courts a chance to rule, without hearing from the opposing party, within eight hours of receiving the application, with dubious factual support for its order, and without providing any explanation for its order. I refused to join the Court’s order because we had no good reason to think that, under the circumstances, issuing an order at midnight was necessary or appropriate

This amounts to judicial usurpation of executive power, which results in great harm to the American people. ABN
