					<description><![CDATA[AesopFan on August 15, 2025 at 5:45 pm:
Thank you for supplying links to Episodes 1 and 2 - I should have done that. 

This appears to be Episode 3 (from 8/12/25?):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZITYEfzjf0 
Bribes and Burner Phones: Whistleblower Exposes Foreign Influence Over America! &#124; Shadow Gov Ep 3
This X.COM, from an email PV sends me, might be an intro summary.
https://x.com/Project_Veritas/status/1956141457074536634

I don&#039;t much care for the &quot;serial thriller&quot; format of PV&#039;s exposes. But it does keep the interest up.
I hope if what they have is true and valid, then real indictments and applicable convictions follow. I suppose it could take beyond 2028 to reach that point, if initiating investigations now.
And I hope if it turns out this story is flawed in some way, and does not lead to responsible court action, that there is a good reason PV had for believing otherwise.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;Remember, [Democrats are] not afraid that Trump will fail to negotiate a peace [in Ukraine]. They’re terrified that he will.

--Kurt Schlichter
https://x.com/KurtSchlichter/status/1956454026159301116&lt;/i&gt;
________________________

I&#039;d say this applies to the Democrat opposition to Trump&#039;s efforts against criminals as well.

Given Democrats&#039; lack of interest in or outright support for criminals, they are terrified Trump&#039;s efforts to reduce crime will succeed. 

Voters might notice.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[@ R2L &#062; &quot;Project Veritas is now out with some claims of working with a whistle blower for the last year or two, a young woman who kept notes, stole burner phones, and has credible evidence linking her media mogul boss and (even or especially) Bill Barr to efforts to explicitly undermine Trump or pursue other corruption via foreign money sources (Turkey, Qatar). PV asserts some of their supporting or confirmatory evidence comes from contacts they have in the DOJ. The whistle blower eventually went to the FBI but is now (supposedly?) hiding out in a foreign country out of fear that her former boss might try to kill her.

Presumably the PV folks are treading carefully and believe they have the goods, but it might even be possible they are being played or ??? So I (we?) wait.&quot;

These are links to the Project Veritas posts.
They are the stuff of a John Grisham thriller, but we&#039;ve seen enough conspiracy theories getting validated that I wouldn&#039;t rule them out yet either.

					<description><![CDATA[I reject the &quot;open-mindedness&quot; argument advanced by a few posters here (i.e., Gorgasal).  Most of us have reached the age of reason and can process information without having to refer to the New York Times, or the Drudge Report to understand how the other side thinks.  My frames of reference are Plato, Aristotle, wisdom literature, and yes, the Bible.

I maintain that political differences originate in metaphysics.  Liberals and conservatives have different understandings of the nature of reality.   Thus, if you start with different premises about the nature of reality, you reach different conclusions.

We conservatives believe that there is such a thing as truth, and that it corresponds to reality.  Liberals, on the other hand, tend to be relativists.  Reality to them is more material-based, which is why they constantly appeal to the authority of SCIENCE.  Conservatives have a more broad understanding of reality which encompasses the immaterial (faith, love, God).  Of course I believe that conservatives have the stronger argument.  The fallacy of liberal thought is self-evident and on full-display.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;The Dems’ Old Testament is by Antonio Gramsci, the New by Saul Alinsky.&lt;/i&gt;  --  Cicero

This.  You have to appreciate that Hillary Clinton practically worshiped Alinsky.  And that Alinsky&#039;s mentor was Francesco Nitto, aka Frank Nitti.  A mobster captain and later boss.  Nitti was the guy who first conceived of organized crime taking over big labor unions.  And Alinsky championed community organizing, which in many cases is about unionizing businesses.  Obama studied and taught in Alinsky&#039;s Chicago School.

Now, as to the exact mind set of these people...  I still don&#039;t get it or understand it.  Unless it is as simple as predators and prey.  When asked why he robbed banks, Dillinger said, &quot;Because that&#039;s where the money is.&quot;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[There are &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.ssa.gov/policy/docs/quickfacts/stat_snapshot/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow ugc&quot;&gt;3.8 million &quot;disabled&quot; people on SSI under 65 at the moment,&lt;/a&gt; and 6.3 million &quot;disabled&quot; people on SS under age 65 (these overlap slightly).

Regardless of the percentages under whatever age or the median ages, we&#039;re talking about 11 million people, so there&#039;s still room for a lot of fraudulent drawing of benefits, potentially on the order of a million people.

There is a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.allsup.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow ugc&quot;&gt;small industry&lt;/a&gt; based on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.disabilitybenefitscenter.org/blog/help-apply-for-benefits&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow ugc&quot;&gt;helping people qualify for benefits&lt;/a&gt;. Health insurance companies sometimes hire them, which is one reason I know about them. I don&#039;t doubt that most of those who just fill out the paperwork are turned down, but the ones who are much more likely to get in are the ones who get professional help.

But my guess is that if there&#039;s widespread government subsidy of a non-working drug-addicted or criminal lifestyle, it&#039;s not mostly found with Social Security but with SNAP and TANF and any number of state programs.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[If a Community Health Clinic in the U.S. insists on Urine Drug Screening as part of the basic evaluation for all patients -- along with other basics like height, weight, blood pressure -- what do you think happens?

People stop coming.  Not all, but many.

People know that they cannot be truthfully diagnosed with a mental illness/disability if they&#039;re using cocaine opiates etc.

So, they go elsewhere.

When the Federal Disability system has tried to insist on clean urine as a prerequisite for receiving monthly cash , the uproar is deafening.

And so in the U.S. for decades now, effectively, you have the right to use illegal addictive drugs ... after obtaining them illegally ... and then you can easy-peazy obtain Disability payments illegally ... in order to continue to feed your illegal addiction lifestyle.

Every day, this goes on everywhere in America. 

Every day.  

Easy peazy.

..... ..... ..... .....

To a stranger, an addict is usually perceived as a nuisance or a criminal.

To a family member, an addict is often perceived as &quot;a good kid who may have  made some mistakes, but deep down has a really good heart.&quot;

.............

Almost anybody can get Disability in the U.S.  You just need to shop around a bit for the right lawyer, who will get you in with right doctor(s).

If someone tells you otherwise, you are not being told the truth.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;A 21-year-old with a well-established intravenous heroin addiction…who has been injecting several times daily for years…can and does get Disability. Easily.&lt;/i&gt;

Most people who apply for disability benefits of any kind are turned down. So, not &#039;easily&#039;.

As for Social Security Disability, fewer than 10% of those on benefits as &#039;disabled workers&#039; (as opposed to being on the rolls as a dependent) are under the age of 42.  Those on the SSI rolls are younger, in part because the program captures people who have been disabled all their lives (e.g. as those with abnormally low IQs).]]></description>
