Elizabeth Koch ridiculed for NYT interview in a weird (but all too normal) manifestation of her main fear

Elizabeth Koch, 47, who grew up in in a $13 million mansion in Wichita, Kansas, spoke to the Times about the trauma she faced thanks to her wealthy upbringing, and her comments sparked fierce fury from social media users who branded the outlet as ’embarrassing’ and ‘humiliating’ for giving the billionaires a platform ‘to rehabilitate their public images.’

Elizabeth stated that being around so much money as a kid left her severely damaged, thanks to the deep ‘fear’ she developed over being judged for her riches and her long-lasting struggle to impress her powerful father.

One of the core concepts in Buddhism is that life in the “heavenly realm” can be a negative thing, principally because there is no impetus to comprehend the Four Noble Truths. A life without knowledge of suffering encourages clinging, which generates even more problems. I am instinctively on Elizabeth’s side, even without reading the NYT interview, because I am certain her suffering is real. Her audience of people who can understand her is obviously small, and that makes her position even more lonely. Very good-looking people, especially if they are also talented, can also suffer enormous pain due to the envy of the people around them. Envy and hatred of people who are wealthier or better than us generates terrible karma. When someone like Elizabeth speaks her mind, why not listen respectfully and take it in? I personally live simply and generally relate more to lower and middle class people than to wealthy ones, but I know wealthy people also suffer and can be excellent human beings. The Buddha himself was born into a very wealthy royal family. ABN

Mega-prison in El Salvador for 40,000 suspected gangsters – which has only 80 beds for every 100 inmates – welcomes its first new inmates with vow ‘You will never walk out of here’

A mega-prison in El Salvador has opened its doors for its first 2,000 inmates of suspected gang members – who upon their arrival found out there are not enough beds for everyone and there are no mattresses at all.

The facility is designed to house 40,000 suspected gangsters and the security minister for the Central American country warned inmates they ‘will never walk out of here’. 

The move to the high-tech prison follows President Nayib Bukele’s ‘war’ on crime.

Bukele tweeted that ‘at dawn, in a single operation, we transferred the first 2,000 members to the Center for the Confinement of Terrorism (CECOT)’ – which he claims is the largest mega-prison in the Americas.

Bukele added: ‘This will be their new house, where they will live for decades, all mixed, unable to do any further harm to the population.’

Jewish Corruption in Ukraine

With Russia now slowly escalating its ‘special military operation’ against Ukraine on the eve of its first anniversary, I find myself drawn once again to the complex but stark phenomenon of extreme Jewish corruption in the latter nation. While it’s become commonplace to note Volodymyr Zelensky’s Jewishness, and perhaps also that of Volodymyr Groysman, the first Prime Minister to serve under Zelensky, I have yet to read a detailed discussion of the major Jewish players in the ongoing saga of Ukrainian oligarchy and its political affiliates. If anything, the present conflict is a huge distraction from the fact that, for decades, the biggest threat to Ukraine hasn’t been Russia, but financiers and speculators operating with impunity within Ukraine’s borders to exploit ethnic Ukrainians and plunder their resources.

‘Too many white people working in construction…’

Rogan is right and his reasoning applies to all fields and shows up in all fields. Diversity has become a method of promoting loyalists who often lack skills. This leads to rapid decline in outcomes in all fields. It’s not just a race thing either. Witness the medical field caving to multiple unreasonable covid directives despite strong evidence they were and are wrong. Civilizations require hard lines which are never perfect and can always be questioned but must nonetheless be held or everything falls apart. In my opinion, Buttigieg himself is a diversity hire who is in way over his head as Transportation Secretary. ABN

Police have uncovered a ring of 17 men believed to have filmed 10,000 women bathing in hot springs across Japan

  • Police in Japan have uncovered a ring of 17 men believed to have filmed 10,000 women in hot springs.
  • The men hid in mountainous areas near the springs and used telephoto lenses to film the women.
  • They also held gatherings to view the footage together, police say. 

The Japanese police have arrested 17 men suspected of photographing and filming more than 10,000 women who were bathing in hot springs.

…The men used high-end camera equipment like long-focus telephoto lenses to film women bathing in the open-air hot springs, the Japanese police told The Asahi Shimbun. The men would take these pictures while hiding in mountainous areas several hundred meters from the springs, the police said. The group would also get tips from Saito on how best to photograph the women, and hold gatherings to view the footage together.

The War of Terror of a Rogue Superpower: Cui Bono?

…This is a leak – essentially from one Deep State insider, Hersh’s key source. This 21st century “Deep Throat” remix may be appalled at the toxicity of the system, but at the same time he knows that whatever he says, there will be no consequences.

Cowardly Berlin – ignoring the nuts and bolts of the scheme all along – will not even squeak. After all the Green gang has been ecstatic, because the terror attack has thoroughly advanced their medieval de-industrialization agenda. In parallel, as an extra bonus, all the other European vassals receive further confirmation this is the fate that awaits them if they don’t follow His Master’s Voice.

Hersh’s narrative frames the Norwegians as the essential accessory to terror. Hardly surprising: NATO’s Jens “Peace is War” Stoltenberg has been a CIA asset for perhaps half a century. And Oslo of course had its own motives to be part of the deal; to collect loads of extra cash selling whatever spare energy it had for desperate European customers.

…Hersh’s modus operandi is legendary. From the perspective of a foreign correspondent on the ground since the mid-1990s, from the U.S. and NATOstan to all corners of Eurasia, it’s easy for someone like me to understand how he uses anonymous sources and how he accesses – and protects – his extensive list of contacts: trust works both ways. His track record is absolutely unrivalled.

But of course the possibility remains: what if he is being played? Is this no more than a limited hangout? After all, the narrative oscillates wildly between minute detail and quite a few dead ends, constantly featuring a huge paper trail and too many people in the loop – which implies exaggerated risk. The CIA hesitating too much to go for the kill is a certified red alert throughout the narrative – especially when we know that the ideal underwater actors for such an op would have come from the CIA Special Activities Division, and not the U.S. Navy.

The deepest thread that connects everything in the West is destruction. It only looks like self-destruction. It is not incompetence, at least not the usual kind. Infiltration, followed by usurpation, followed by methodical destruction. Every issue, every time. ABN

The bloody death of a liberal dream: After throwing open its borders to 2million migrants, DAVID JONES investigates how Sweden has been left with an underclass of alienated teenagers, a murderous gang culture and gun crime that’s spiraling out of control

On a bitingly cold morning in Stockholm, two days ago, I stood among 200 mourners in a Muslim cemetery, set in a magnificent pine forest.

They had come to bury a 15-year-old Afghan boy who had been shot dead, allegedly by a gangster of the same age.

Yet as his coffin was lowered into the frozen ground, it seemed to me that we were also witnessing the death of Sweden’s great multi-cultural dream.

Brought to this famously hospitable country three years ago, to escape the impending return of the Taliban, it appears that Ali Shafaei is the latest victim of a vicious war being waged largely by child gangsters from Sweden’s migrant sink-estates.

Among Swedish politicians, the precise causes of this internecine conflict may be a matter for debate.

Yet even those on the liberal Left now grudgingly agree that they are rooted in the country’s disastrously failed immigration policy — which in recent years opened Sweden’s borders. Some 2 million immigrants (20 per cent of the entire population), now live in Sweden, often from the most troubled parts of Asia and Africa.

Many of the offspring of these migrants have morphed dangerously into a lost generation who are effectively stateless. Though they were born here, many don’t feel remotely Swedish, yet have no allegiance to their parents’ homelands, either.

Jeffrey Epstein: A Jewish Individual? — Review of “One Nation under Blackmail”

One Nation Under Blackmail: The Sordid Union between Intelligence and Organized Crime that Gave Rise to Jeffrey Epstein (Volume 1 & 2)
Whitney Webb
Trine Day, 2022

Far from being an anomaly, Epstein was one of several men who, over the past century, have engaged in sexual blackmail activities designed to obtain damaging information (i.e., “intelligence”) on powerful individuals with the goal of controlling their activities and securing their compliance.”[1]

Jeffrey Epstein is dead and Ghislaine Maxwell is locked away in prison, and the thought-makers of our world seem keen to let the more explosive parts of the scandal dissipate from the public consciousness. As far as the mainstream media is concerned, Epstein and Maxwell were little more than well-connected socialites who ran a sex-trafficking ring for the rich and the powerful, and the focus has shifted instead to the criminal and civil cases seeking to achieve redress for the victims of sexual abuse.

Systemic Violence in Miami-Dade Schools, Supported by MDSPD, Surfaces Yet Again – Video Surfaces of 9-Year-Old Latina Student Beaten Mercilessly by Older Black Students on Bus

Let me be very clear, having investigated the Miami-Dade and Broward County school system for over a decade, this is not surprising.

The recent video of a 9-year-old Latina student and her brother being beaten mercilessly by older black students on a school bus is not an isolated incident.

Note that in all reporting you will find the “Miami-Dade School Police Department” (MDSPD) are involved…  NOT, I repeat NOT, the Miami-Dade police department.  The MDSPD are the gatekeepers for what Miami-Dade and Broward County schools call the ‘Promise Program.’  The MDSPD essentially act like prison wardens to keep violent thugs inside the school system away from regular police units.

In an education system set up by former School Superintendent Alberto Carvalho, a totally separate law enforcement system was put into place for the schools.  Any student engaged in criminal conduct was diverted away from the criminal justice system and into a system where MDSPD would handle all criminal activity by students.

The MDSPD turned the intent of the ‘Promise Program’ into a gladiator academy.  The program was so poorly thought out, and the unintended consequences so brutally ignored, this was always going to be the outcome.
