Just ran across a YouTube video by someone with an English accent on how to extract opium from opium poppies—cooks it up in his kitchen, don’t ya know.

The result?

A black tarry substance which he says is very mild, and great for headaches and hangovers.

Great, just great!

And the competition is indeed FIERCE!!…as KJP is most certainly NOT giving up without a fight!

*jumeaux means twins unless it means binoculars.

*hein means huh even though the transliteration seems more like something a Nazi prison guard might say abruptly.

It’s not just young people. The Patriot Act was seemingly embraced by most Americans and certainly made spying on every America easier. It seemed to me obvious that Americans were trading ‘security’ for ‘freedom’.

Brian E:

Yeah, but the Partiot Act, as a conservative lawyer friend explained to me, was essentially the RICO Act for the Mafia aimed at al-Qaeda.

We can have a reasonable discussion of those pros and cons.

But, my God, government surveillance cameras in one’s own home? That’s a whole ‘nother level.

And a fitting reprise to the oft-quoted: “1984 was a warning, not an instruction manual.”

Yes, I must have my very own telescreen so Big Brother can keep a close eye on my private life!

Here’s a detailed description of the vetting that reporter Leslie Kean did on Grusch and his allegations.

See https://thedebrief.org/fact-check-q-a-with-debrief-co-founder-and-investigator-tim-mcmillan-part-1/

According to Air force whistleblower David Grusch, the idea–that for many decades there has been a sort of Cold War going on between various nations of the world, each one trying to find and to retrieve crashed alien vehicles and their technology–that you sometimes see mentioned as a plot element in this or that Science Fiction story–is actually true.

SHIREHOME, Rich Cook:

Curious what you may have thought of “The ABC Murders” (2018) TV series with John Malkovich as Poirot.

I don’t know the Christie canon nor Suchet’s work as Poirot, but I was intrigued. I sensed it was probably revisionist in some way(s).

I am a Malkovich fan and he genuinely speaks French(!) though I have no idea whether he managed a proper Belgian accent.

If you believe Air Force whistle blower David Grusch all the rumors were correct and, “we are not alone!”

Australian investigative Reporter Ross Coulthart, who has covered the UFO issue for many years, is teasing parts of his long interview with a very high level DOD whistleblower–just recently retired Air Force intelligence officer David Grusch–who says that his highest level clearances, positions, and assignments–with the National-Geospatial Intelligence Agency, the National Reconnaissance Office, and on the DOD’s UAP Task Force–gave him access to knowledge about a wide array of secret, very highly classified UFO crash retrieval and reverse engineering programs which have been going on for many decades and, moreover, that the Defense Office of Prepublication and Security Review, has cleared him to disclose what he is disclosing.

Grusch has told Coulthart that he has already given 11 hours of secret closed door testimony, under oath, to Congress, specifying the retrievals which have been made, the retrieval and reverse engineering programs, their code names, their locations, and the names of those running these rogue programs.

He says that we are definitely “not alone,” and that for many decades elements within the U.S. government have conducted crash retrievals of both parts of and intact vehicles which were created by NHIs, “non-human intelligences,” (note the plural here) and that, sometimes, alien bodies have also been collected.

He alleges that these programs were buried within other highly secret military and contractor programs, and that neither Congress nor the President were informed of the existence these programs, or what they had recovered and discovered, which is why he went with his information to the Intelligence Community Inspector General, and to Congress.

Grusch says that paralleling these clandestine crash retrieval and reverse engineering programs was a deliberate disinformation campaign designed to make people dismiss UFOs as being a crazy illusion and, apparently, in the course of these actions many crimes—according to Coulthart many grave crimes–were committed.*

This story has also just been broken by reporter Leslie Kean (who coauthored the landmark 2017 New York Times story “Glowing Auras and “Black Money”: The Pentagon’s Mysterious UFO Program,” about the ATIP program and Lou Elizondo) and co-author Ralph Blumenthal, reporting on “The Debrief”**

I predict that we will be hearing a lot more from Coulthart, and from and about David Grusch.

Just a guess. My insurance is the same. Our loyalty to them is of no value to them.
