An historic mansion was torched last night in Gerard’s home town, his last one. It looks like the work of Antifa. Go to the Sacramento Bee front page for a good article on the destruction of Bidwell Mansion. (For some reason I’m unable to link any article to Neo’s site. Maybe someone else can link it?)
There’s always the eastern and northeastern coasts of Egypt, Sudan and Somalia, and the entire Arabian Peninsula…but perhaps these are the exceptions that prove the rule…

“Europe’s Last Stand: Martin Sellner’s Heroic Battle for Remigration and Cultural Survival…”— https://rairfoundation.com/europes-last-stand-martin-sellners-heroic-battle-remigration/
Ah, now THIS is more like it!
Remigration is a nice idea; I have no idea how likely this is to work out.
By the way, Neo, you are not the only commentator to find parallels between Mangione and Raskolnikov.
I remember the Bidwell Mansion well. What a shame about the fire!

“Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather attacked by anti-Israel mob in London;
“Undefeated boxing champion and Israel supporter rushed out of store while shopping in London by security as mob attempts to strike him while screaming racial slurs, witnesses say”— https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/400598
Ukraine supplied Syrian rebels with drones and experienced operators in the weeks before they defeated Bashar al-Assad’s army…
.. 20 Ukrainian drone operators and 150 drones had been sent to the rebels.
“Ukraine’s motivation is obvious: facing a Russian onslaught inside their country, Ukrainian intelligence has looked for other fronts where it can bloody Russia’s nose and undermine its clients”
.. Ukrainian drones and operators arrived in Idlib, Syria, four or five weeks ago, but only played a “modest role” in overthrowing Assad
Russian forces helped Assad defeat Syrian rebels in 2015 by launching a massive carpet-bombing campaign on Aleppo.
Ukraine is considered to have developed one of the world’s most sophisticated military drone units in the world since Russia launched its invasion in February 2022.
Drones are helping to keep Ukraine in this fight against the reinvasion by Russia. Such knowledge is worth a lot to America’s security & defense…
On an earlier thread I posted about all of these supposed “drones” which are being seen all over the east coast, and how an FBI official testified to Congress the other day that the agency was “investigating,“ but did not have any real answer as to what these drones are, where they came from, what they are doing, or whose drones they are.
Well, today the Pentagon spokesman had the same answer when asked about these supposed “drones,” they were “investigating,” didn’t believe these were U. S. drones, but didn’t know anything else.
These current sightings, I point out, have been going on now for three or more weeks, and still no answers?
I mostly ask Chat questions about French. Chat has always been good in that regard. I gave up discussions about anything controversial because I would only get boilerplate Official Responses seemingly vetted by the usual gatekeepers.
However, lately I notice Chat has become more open-minded and grants me a more sympathetic hearing, sometimes even agreeing with my heterodox views.
I’m on ChatGPT 4.o — that’s small-o, not zero — which is two serious revisions beyond where I started with ChatGPT 3.5. It is supposed to display more human-like reasoning. I would say they have succeeded.
Furthermore, OpenAI, the company developing ChatGPT, intends Chat to become, not just smart, but an active, useful companion for humans. Sort of like a Labrador Retriever with an IQ of 130 and black belt Google-fu.
That’s not a bad model for AI.
Could the drones’ “mothership” be persuaded to take Christopher Wray?
Karmi–Today the Pentagon spokesman was asked directly about the “Iranian mother ship off our coast, full of drones” report, and she said it was not true.
P.S. Either, after three or so weeks of what I would hope were arduous and thorough “investigations,” none of our authorities have learned anything i.e. this is a monumental “cluster fark,” or they know damn well what is going on but–for some reason–they don’t want to tell us.
Snow on Pine
Maybe the Pentagon doesn’t want people like you and me to know what they know.
If the drones are as serious as you and MSM are claiming–then the “authorities” who caught Luigi Mangione pretty quick know more than you need to know.
MSM has been pushing these ‘drones are everywhere‘ for a long time now…I haven’t seen any.
Man, you guys, and that Rep, are all wrong. WE all know that the Drones are from a Ukrainian Babushka Mother ship off the coast of NJ. I heard that from someone that heard it from someone, who heard it from someone that has video of the ship.
But would we believe any of ‘em anyways?
Besides, why would “Biden” ALLOW an Iranian ship to stay offshore and do anything like that??
Oh, wait….(remembering those Chinese spy balloons…)
WRT “taking a longer view” of things”, there’s no reason why Russia and/or Iran, if they’re able, won’t at some point in the future try to restore Assad to Syria.
It’s the M.E. after all….
(Things change…but things stay the same…)
I get your gist, and don’t disagree, but I think this will cause harm to a not insignificant number of people predisposed to isolation, or just naturally shy.
AI is probably already at a point where it can be a better communicative companion to my spouse than I can. It’s algorithm will learn her personality and desires as a conversationalist better than I have. And it never tires, or gets bored, or wants time for itself. Even if that is accurate, I’m confident the Lovely Mrs. Firefly will continue to keep me around, but what about people who haven’t already met a partner? Or lost a partner and haven’t met a new one? Or people who don’t have a good, social network yet? Why seek human contact when AI will treat you better than any human ever could?
Why, except for the reality that real, actual, human connection is vital to our health and our very existences.
