Murder of Vermont border agent tied to string of killings across the country

A shooting that left a Vermont border patrol agent dead may be connected to several other murders spanning from Pennsylvania to California. 

Swanton Sector Border Patrol agent David Maland, 44, was killed when the occupants of a car started firing at him when he stopped them about 20 miles from the US-Canada border on January 20.  

The suspected shooters have been identified as Teresa Youngblut, 21, of Washington and Felix Bauckholt – a German national who was shot dead at the scene. 

Youngblut was injured during the shootout and taken to the hospital. Maland was also taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The motives behind the incident remain unclear.

But prosecutors believe the Vermont shooting was not an isolated crime – tying Youngblut to a double homicide in Pennsylvania and a fatal stabbing in California

In November 2024, Youngblut filed an application to marry Maximilian Snyder, a 22-year-old data scientist, according to the San Francisco Chronicle

On Friday, Snyder was arrested and charged with murdering a Vallejo, California landlord named Curtis Lind, 82, on January 17. He appeared in court on Tuesday. 

A criminal complaint filed in Solano County claims that Lind was stabbed and killed ‘for the purpose of preventing his testimony in a criminal proceeding,’ KTVU reported.

There is a lot of talk about both perps being members of a ‘trans cult’. As reliable info on that angle appears, I’ll post it. There has been plenty of evidence that some trans people begin with psychological body dysphoria which is ‘affirmed’ by dishonest professionals and aggravated by opposite-sex hormone treatments and surgery. Hence, the deranged violent outcomes, including suicide. ABN

This is the most important thing most people who have a decent grasp of the ponerology of Jewish supremacy do not understand. The violence is hidden because it is done in secret with poison, psychosurgery, sensory damage. And it is largely aimed at boys and young men. The dude you know who went off the rails for whatever reason people give, actually went off the rails because he was poisoned. The betacuck who is mayor of your city was not born a betacuck; he was lobotomized when he was fifteen. How extensive are these attacks? My conclusion is it is happening across the entire West at levels greater than the fentanyl or opioid crises, which are part of the same onslaught. It has been going on for many decades; see the above. Once Jewish supremists gained absolute power in Russia, they mass murdered Russians and Christians on scales never seen before in this world. We are today watching a smaller version of that in Gaza and now the West Bank. Why does Trump go along with it? KOBK; he has no choice. The entire elite level of Western leadership is tied up in this. I believe many of them know what is happening but do not know how to deal with it. I believe this because I have spoken with some of them. ABN

Trump to ban transgender troops and DEI military programs

President Donald Trump is keeping his promise to eliminate government diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs by now banning the practice from the military.

Trump plans to sign two executive orders this week that will both eliminate DEI from the military and prohibit transgender people from the services, DailyMail.com confirmed. 

He already signed an executive order on his first day in office last week reversing Joe Biden‘s 2021 directive allowing transgender people to serve in the military.

A new order will go even further and lay out new military standards regarding pronoun usage and gender identity.

It also directly bans transgender troops from serving in the U.S. military.

Trump has already taken several actions seeking to outlaw DEI initiatives in the federal government.

The practices require that certain protected groups – like minorities, women and those with disabilities – be prioritized for job placement.

The LA Fire Dept is a vivid example of how wrong and dangerous DEI policies are. Academia is another. The compass of the Western world is swinging all over the place. But it’s easy to correct. Just set your aim on reality. It should never be the government’s job to legally require us to associate with anyone (a lamentable lapse in the First Amendment), but to force us to work with incompetent hires is to endanger all of us while also causing social and intellectual standards to sink like a stone. Import the third world, become the third world. Promote the incompetent, expect disaster. ABN

Emotion versus reason in numbers

My sense is these statistics are roughly correct. They also bolster the Buddhist ethical position that compassion must be based on wisdom. Indeed, the greatest virtue in Buddhism is wisdom, not compassion. Buddhism counsels dispassion and calm reflection on all speech and behavior; I would add perception as well. An argument that appeals to emotion is not necessarily all bad. But one that uses emotion as mind-control is all bad. The wise often lose political debates because their positions are more complex, based on dispassionate analysis rather than single-minded emotion. Women have had many years in power now and the results are not good. This is probably due to greater emotionality among our dearly loved fair sex. Not sure where this will lead but it is always best to place your bets on reason and sound ethics above all else. Of course, emotion and compassion can and should be factors in any complex position, just not the preeminent, leading factors. ABN

Why it might be best not to flee from empire

To date, I, personally, have not seen anything particularly wise or interesting coming from Dugin. But since Ricardo posted this video, it is worth thinking about. A world of well-defined empires would resemble the 19th Century to some extent. I imagine each empire would have to be more responsive to its citizenry, while inter-empire politics would rely on 20th Century ‘Mutually Assured Destruction’ (MAD). MAD is a semi-stable world order, a semi-stasis of KOBK global game theory. This state of affairs, assuming non-violent or low violence to get there, would probably be better than any form of one-world government, which would always be susceptible to overweening conformity, mind-control, totalitarian abuse of individuals. I fear the left much more than the right, based on historical precedents. I have not yet watched the Dugin video above but plan to. It may change my views on him or what I say here. Notice, I am not shilling for empire, I am simply saying what is obvious — that KOBK game theory is real with potentially horrific outcomes. Any decent stasis is better than mutual destruction of the whole world. ABN

Fake ‘religious’ immigration scams

__________

This fails the morality and ethics test. Jews do it too with HIAS, which Mayorkas once headed, which thereby fails the ethics test even worse. I am sure there are many other ‘religious’ groups working some angle of the immigration scam and profiting handsomely. I do not know of any Buddhists groups involved in immigration scams and I hope there are none. The Abrahamics all seem to have a very passionate and active sense of what moral behavior is. And this seems to lead to many ethically very low interpretations. In Buddhism, morality is understood more as ‘coolness’ (shila) which allows or encourages thinking more deeply before acting. If a person is healthy and can work but poor, Buddhism is OK with temporary help to get them going but not permanent handouts. Scamming taxpayers to make money on able-bodied immigrants is actually immoral in Buddhism because you are doing neither the taxpayer nor the immigrant any good at all. You are duping the taxpayer and stealing while encouraging dependency and law-breaking in the immigrant. Moreover, you yourself, the ‘religious’ person posturing as a moral person, are also harming yourself with egregiously selfish behavior for mere money or conquest, if that’s how you see it. If that is how you see yourself, as a conqueror, you are not. You are just a parasite, a lowly piece of shit. ABN

Microsoft slams the brakes on $3.3 billion data center — reportedly set to foster development of OpenAI’s supercomputer

In a surprising turn of events, Microsoft has decided to temporarily pause the construction of a $3.3 billion data center in Mount Pleasant. Wisconsin Public Radio reports the tech giant is still on track to complete the project’s first phase by 2026. However, it’s unclear when phase two of the project will commence because it’s under design review to establish how new technologies will affect the company’s data center design.

While speaking to The Register, a Microsoft spokesman indicated:

“We have paused early construction work for this second phase while we evaluate scope and recent changes in technology and consider how this might impact the design of our facilities. We anticipate that this process will last months.”

According to The Information, the $3.3 billion data center was supposed to be used by OpenAI to facilitate its sophisticated AI advances and foster the development of a cutting-edge supercomputer.

This story came out before China’s DeepSeek-R1 was released on 1/20/25 but Microsoft had to have seen the writing on the wall as DeepSeek had been progressing rapidly for months. It is in China’s interests that USA not succeed in having sole control of the world’s best AI. So China made DeepSeek available to all for free. That is a military move as well as an economic one. It is a KOBK move in that China has ‘killed’, at least for now, US total superiority in AI, while forcing everyone to change direction by supplying everyone with new opportunities for AI development.

Major government agency responds furiously after Trump’s late-night purge as it issues thinly-veiled threat

The Chairperson for Inspector generals has hit back at Donald Trump‘s mass firing of government watchdogs, claiming the move is ‘not legally sufficient’ in a strongly-worded letter. 

Late Friday night, the newly-minted leader announced the firing of 17 Inspector Generals, sparking major concern on Capitol Hill.

The White House failed to publicly announce the bloodbath or provide any explanation for why it fired the officials who are tasked with evaluating federal departments on issues including the law and use of taxpayer money.

IGs for the departments of defense, state, transportation, veterans affairs, housing and urban development, interior and energy were all let go. 

But soon after Hannibal ‘Mike’ Ware, Chairperson of the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency, challenged the decision in a thinly-veiled threating letter. 

According to the Post, Ware is one of the agents who was fired on Friday night. 

Others include Michael Horowitz at the Justice Department who was an appointee of Obama and Mark Lee Greenblatt of the Department of the Interior.

When the watchdogs don’t bark, they should be fired. Trump appears to be firing anyone who might obstruct deep reform. This is a very good sign. USA needs a strong and peaceful revolution in government. Trump is our best hope for deep reform. During his first term and all along, many IGs have been part of the coverup, not reform. I was surprised and pleased to see Horowitz on this list as the rumor was he was going to be spared. An IG is a deeply important arbiter of morality and ethics, without which our nation cannot survive. USA needs a deep housecleaning and this is part of that. ABN

You can’t say what they don’t already know

Penetrating insight. Something we all require. Religion and real-world morality go hand-in-hand. I love it when prominent people reform. It’s terrible to see nastiness all the way to the top. Thune may set a good example which may shine for generations. ABN

How to get the JFK, RFK, and MLK files fully released to the public

1. Do you really want to see the JFK, RFK and MLK assassination files?

Here’s the direct way to get them using the plenary power of the Executive in combination with the Unitary application of govt recently affirmed by SCOTUS.

WARNING: This is extremely NON-Traditional.

2. Understanding the ordinary process of declassifying documents is a request and authorization to the executive officers and stakeholders of classified information; and understanding the current authorization is not ordinary because the intelligence community stakeholders are averse to the interests of the office of the president; here is a process to cut through the chaff and countermeasures.

The background here is that any unilateral declassification request, demand or authorization by President Trump puts him opposition to a variety of corrupt interests.

As a direct result the executive office of the president will be facing legal action, likely from unified democrats and republicans in the legislative branch.  With that accepted, here is the most strategic approach. 

3. President Trump informs the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, that he wishes to have a full intelligence briefing on the following documents (more may be added), all documents are to be presented without a single redaction:

The full and complete records relating to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

The full and complete records relating to the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

The President selects a date for this briefing and through direct orders to his chief of staff, Susie Wiles and National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz, informs the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, to advise and coordinate with all executive branch intelligence officials, who were/are stakeholders in the compartmented intelligence products as described above, of their request be present for the briefing.

The White House counsel’s office is not to be informed of the intent or purpose of the meeting; however, the Presidents’ White House counsel is requested to attend. Further, all of the compartmented intelligence is to be collectively assembled by the ODNI (Gabbard) into one volume of a singular Presidential Daily Briefing (PDB) although each set might be file boxes.  There are to be eighteen printed copies of the PDB material assembled and secured for the briefing, post haste.

Additionally, the office of the president personally informs the ODNI (Gabbard) of the executives’ request to invite for the briefing each member of the legislative branch Intelligence Community oversight known as the Gang-of-Eight.

4. Immediately after the briefing by the executive level (cabinet) department officials, while remaining in a closed and classified session, the full and comprehensive content of this collective intelligence product will be discussed with the full assembly of the U.S. Legislative Branch Intelligence Oversight known as the Gang of Eight.

Therefore, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz is instructed to coordinate with the ODNI (Gabbard) for the attendance of the Gang of Eight: Speaker Mike Johnson, Minority leader Hakeem Jeffries, HPSCI Chairman Rick Crawford, HPSCI Ranking Member Jim Himes, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, SSCI Chairman Tom Cotton and SSCI Vice-Chair Mark Warner. [Topic “TBD”]

In order to facilitate the briefing. Each member of the participating group will be provided with one full printed copy of the material assembled by the ODNI during the briefing.

[Each of the participants carries the prerequisite clearances, legal and constitutional authority to engage with the classified documents according to their position and status. Only the executive can assemble the product for Go8 review and feedback]

At the conclusion of the briefing; and after hearing from, and engagement with, each of the participating members of the executive intelligence offices and duly authorized legislative oversight representatives; and after listening to their opinion as to the subject material discussed; the president announces to the fully assembled leadership of both the Executive branch (cabinet) and Legislative branch (Go8), it is his opinion the National Interests of the United States can best be served with the American people having a full, transparent and honest review of the material assembled and discussed.

Super-duper, totally uncensored free-speech without any interference from government but rather robust support from government is THE ONLY way for individual freedom to survive the AI total surveillance state

AI will do a lot and we all can see that. But we the plebs and we the people must recognize that we are the only database, a living database, that can rival or moderate or check or control AI, especially if it’s in the hands of bad people. Let’s start now and be ever more outrageous in what we say in order to push the limits of what is permitted to include everything short of actual criminal. Hate and hate speech cannot be criminalized, disrespect is not criminal, commenting even savagely on any topic must not be criminalized. Covid proved that free-speech is the only way. The only people who were reasonable and right during covid were those who spoke against the mainstream. Even doctors got it wrong. Out of one million American doctors, only about 500 spoke up against covid mandates and shots. That is a recent memory for all of us. Keep it in mind as a paradigm of how the world should work. Nobody gets to shut down speech, not even the AMA, FDA, CDC, NSA, DOD, the president of USA or the ADL. If we lose free speech, AI and its control minions will own us completely. I suspect Altman and Ellison are preprogramming us with these short vids about how we have to adapt to AI, never how AI has to adapt to us. ABN
