I am told that two otherwise identical electric guitars, from the same batches of wood and paint, will sound different depending on which person wound the coils.

Eddie Van Halen was a prime demonstrator of this. He treated his guitars very roughly, reportedly throwing them into the back of his pickup to move from studio to house. All that mattered were the pickups.

Basically, private snoops are used to create pretexts that the IC can finagle into plausible domestic threats that then require investigating.

The goal is to prevent any Tea Party style or America First movement from organising. This method can Cleary be observed in the investigation of Mayor and Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani. MORE at Epoch Times

It was a fun watch. I didn’t regret the two hours I spent on it.

Australian Sky News is a very different beast to the more well-known UK woke version.

My guess is that they probably feel different too, so even blindfolding her might not have mattered.
