>who's name or nickname was "Deke"

OOOPs "Donald Slayton" It's a com the kill Trump

"Donald "Deke" Slayton was the most prominent figure widely known by the nickname "Deke." He was one of NASA's original Mercury Seven astronauts, selected in 1959 as a major public figure in the early U.S. space program. Although not a traditional politician or media star, he became a national hero and media personality through extensive coverage of the space race, appearing in news, documentaries, and books (including his autobiography Deke!).His nickname originated from his initials D.K. (Donald Kent), shortened to avoid confusion with another pilot named Don during his test pilot days. Slayton was grounded from early flights due to a heart condition but later flew on the 1975 Apollo-Soyuz Test Project, served as NASA's Chief of the Astronaut Office, and influenced crew selections for Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo missions.Other lesser-known figures with the nickname include actor Deke Anderson (known for roles in films like Army of Darkness and TV shows) and musician Deke Sharon (a cappella producer), but Slayton stands out as the most famous, especially in mid-20th-century American public life. No major elected politician appears to have used "Deke" prominently"

Fascinating.

See? This is why they refused to help me.

This is why they continue to refuse to help.

This is why I cannot trust them even if they offer help (big stupid mistake)

Their goal was to kill and they tried I should assume that all of them have the same intent regardless of their depth of involvement.

My question is this,

From 2017-2022 everyone was perfectly fine with keeping it a secret from me. The intent was to free other anons from their indictments by claiming it was all my fault after the kill.

Too bad I survived,.

“The most avant-garde and well-regarded performers in your genre will still perform regularly, and unlike you, they’ll do it to sold out crowds regardless of their political leanings,” Grenell continued.

The Trump-Kennedy Center president further claimed that Redd’s “dismal ticket sales and lack of donor support” combined with the eleventh-hour cancellation “has cost us considerably.”

“This is your official notice that we will seek $1 million in damages from you for this political stunt.”

### Miles Taylor

Miles Taylor is a prominent former U.S. government official and vocal critic of Donald Trump. He served in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) during the Trump administration, rising to Chief of Staff. In 2018, he anonymously authored a New York Times op-ed titled "I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration," and later wrote the book *A Warning* (2019) under the pseudonym "Anonymous." He revealed his identity in 2020, becoming the first former Trump official to endorse Joe Biden. Taylor has since authored *Blowback: A Warning to Save Democracy from Trump's Revenge* (2023) and become a commentator on national security and democracy issues.

Currently, he hosts DEFIANCE Radio (a daily news program on defiance.news/substack) and is involved in anti-Trump activism. He co-founded Defiance.org, an organization described as providing resources for protest planning and legal support for potential whistleblowers or those resisting policies. His X account is @MilesTaylorUSA (verified, ~229k followers).

### Xander Schultz

Xander Schultz is a social impact entrepreneur, philanthropist, activist, and impact investor focused on social justice, democracy protection, and refugee aid. He is the son of Olympic wrestling champion Dave Schultz (whose murder was depicted in the film *Foxcatcher*). Schultz co-founded the refugee aid organization When We Band Together, launched the viral anti-Trump initiative Defeat By Tweet (a 2020 super PAC that raised millions by tying donations to Trump's tweets), and founded groups like One For Democracy and The Convening.

He has a background in Silicon Valley tech (co-founding companies acquired by Google) and currently works with Defiance (linked to Miles Taylor). His LinkedIn shows him based in Portland, Oregon, with roles emphasizing freedom from oppression and hope-building initiatives.

No highly active or verified X account for him was found in searches (several low-follower accounts exist with similar names, but none match his profile).

### Connection Between Them

Miles Taylor and Xander Schultz co-founded Defiance (defiance.org / defiance.news), an activist organization opposing the Trump administration. It has been involved in campaigns like billboard ads targeting U.S. military personnel (urging them to question orders) and providing legal aid for potential resisters. In November (likely 2025, based on recent activity), Taylor interviewed Schultz on DEFIANCE Radio. Their shared work centers on democracy reform and resistance to Trump policies.

On X, their collaboration has drawn criticism, with some posts labeling Defiance's tactics as seditious or akin to "color revolution" strategies. Recent discussions (as of late December 2025) highlight billboards in Florida military areas funded by the group.

give me an extended network map for these two losers. Who are they connected to? where do they get their money.

### Extended Network Map: Xander Schultz and Miles Taylor

>>24035650

>>24035652

#### Miles Taylor's Network

- Background: National security expert, #1 NYT bestselling author (*A Warning*, *Blowback*), former DHS Chief of Staff under Trump. Revealed as "Anonymous" (2018 NYT op-ed criticizing Trump from within). Endorsed Biden in 2020; now focuses on democracy reform and anti-Trump commentary.

- Key Organizations and Roles:

- U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS): Chief of Staff (2017–2019); scheduler/appointment maker for Kirstjen Nielsen and Chad Wolf.

- DEFIANCE Radio: Host; daily news program on Defiance.news/Substack.

- National Endowment for Democracy (NED): Former fellow/staff; focused on democracy promotion.

- SNF Paideia Program (University of Pennsylvania): Involved in national security and democracy discussions.

- U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security: Professional staff member.

- Personal/Professional Connections:

- George W. Bush Administration: Early roles in government service.

- Donald Trump Administration: Internal critic; donated to Obama in 2008 (FEC records), highlighting bipartisan roots before anti-Trump shift.

- Media/Commentary: Frequent guest on PBS, Politico; criticized Trump in books and interviews (e.g., 2025 PBS segment on Trump's punishments of opponents).

- Critics/Opponents: Targeted by Trump (2025 executive order labeling him a "leaker"); defended in YouTube video against attacks.

- Broader Ties: Linked to Republican anti-Trump circles; collaborated with figures like John Bolton (mentioned in contexts of FBI raids and suspensions).

- Funding Sources:

- Book Royalties: From *A Warning* (2019) and *Blowback* (2023); monetized anti-Trump stance.

- Defiance: As above; personal involvement ties his income (e.g., Substack subscriptions) to the org.

- Government/Nonprofit: Past salaries from DHS, NED, and congressional roles; no current major donors disclosed beyond Defiance's model.

- Public scrutiny: Accused of prioritizing "ambition and monetary gain" in 2025 White House statement; 2020 video endorsement of Biden funded by anti-Trump groups.

#### Overlapping Themes and Broader Implications

- Shared Focus: Anti-Trump activism, democracy defense, and resistance to perceived authoritarianism. Defiance represents their strongest tie, blending Schultz's entrepreneurial activism with Taylor's government insider perspective.

- Potential Extended Links: Through Defiance partners (e.g., RepresentUs has ties to broader reform networks), Schultz's tech world (Silicon Valley donors), and Taylor's D.C. circles (NED has global democracy funding from U.S. government sources).

- Criticisms: X posts and reports portray their work as "organized resistance" or "sedition," especially military-targeted campaigns. Funding opacity (beyond PAC disclosures) fuels speculation of hidden backers.

- Data Gaps: No foreign funding or major undisclosed donors confirmed; most relies on U.S.-based individuals and pledges. For visuals, imagine a graph with Defiance at center, Schultz branching to tech/philanthropy, Taylor to government/media.

This map is based on verified public sources; networks evolve, so ongoing activities (e.g., 2025 billboards) may expand connections.

Former Trump official Miles Taylor speaks out for first time about memo ordering probe

As a senior official in the first Trump administration, Miles Taylor wrote an anonymous op-ed criticizing the president. He later quit and campaigned against the president. Now, President Trump has signed a presidential memo accusing Taylor of leaking classified information and ordering a review of his work. In an exclusive interview with NBC News’ Laura Jarrett, Taylor said, “people need to know how real it is to be blacklisted by the president.”

Miles Taylor— who on Wednesday revealed himself to be the author of the infamous “anonymous” New York Times op-ed slamming the president — is a former Department of Homeland Security staffer campaigning against Trump’s re-election.

Between 2017 and his resignation in April 2019, Taylor, 33, worked in DHS, including as chief of staff for Kirstjen Nielsen, the former secretary of homeland security.

Officially, Camp Hero was a radar installation.

Unofficially, and according to the most ardent conspiracy theorists, self-proclaimed whistleblowers, and more recently, internet lore and speculation, the Montauk Project was a much more clandestine continuation of MKUltra under a new name.

Mind control was only the beginning. Psychic amplification, time manipulation, teleportation, and interdimensional travel were also part of the mission.

But Camp Hero owes this reputation less to something historical and more to a 1992 conspiracy book with a rather academic-sounding title: “The Montauk Project: Experiments in Time,” by Preston B. Nichols and Peter Moon.

The book didn’t just add legitimacy to local lore—it seemingly confirmed what people in and around Montauk already felt in their bones. The shuttered military base, it suggested, wasn’t just a Cold War relic quietly rusting by the sea.

It was the alleged epicenter of one of the U.S. government’s most secretive and morally questionable research efforts.

On Montauk, a local guide for the area, reports that rumors abound that at Camp Hero, “…extra-terrestrials assisted the CIA with mind control and inter-dimensional travel that opened portals to other dimensions and let in beings from beyond that still roam the site.

It is reported the aliens lived in the camp’s underground bunkers. Most disturbing are reports that children were used in the mind control experiments.”

Crucially for “Stranger Things,” the Montauk Project mythology centers on children as test subjects, echoing MKUltra’s unethical experimentation while dialing the horror up several notches.

These stories claim children were abducted, conditioned, and used to manifest physical beings through psychic projection—a concept that maps neatly onto the villainous creatures Vecna conjures in the Upside Down.

The infamous “Montauk Monster,” an alleged creature said to have escaped the base, feels like a beta test for Hawkins’ Demogorgons, Vecna, and the Mindflayer.

Whether it was a hoax, a raccoon, or proof that no one had a containment plan depends on how deep into the forums you’re willing to go.

What makes “Stranger Things” so compelling is how it stitches these two threads together. MKUltra provides credibility—proof that the U.S. government really did experiment on minds, harm people, and attempt to cover it up.

But the Montauk Project provides legend—the idea that those experiments didn’t stop, they just evolved into something stranger, darker, and harder to explain, and ultimately, more covert than ever before.

Belief in the Montauk Project conspiracy isn’t required to understand why it resonates. After MKUltra, the idea that there are secrets U.S. citizens will never fully uncover doesn’t feel paranoid; it feels realistic.

“Stranger Things” simply found its niche in that space between fact and fear, where potentially innocuous government activity becomes as unsettling as any monster.

ADL Goes Ballistic After Megyn Kelly Says Bari Weiss, Ben Shapiro Are 'Making Antisemites'

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is furious with journalist Megyn Kelly after she accused prominent Jews in the media - Ben Shapiro and Bari Weiss - of "making antisemites" through their attempts to censor criticism of Israel."

To bring you up to speed: Following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, podcaster Candace Owens pointed the finger at Israel, suggesting that Kirk's shifting views on Israel made him a target - and suggesting that Israel and France plotted Kirk's death. This drew sharp criticism from the Daily Wire's Ben Shapiro (Owens' former boss), journalist Bari Weiss, and the ADL - with Shapiro further accusing Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson of amplifying 'antisemitism' by platforming Owens and refusing to condemn her claims, while Kelly says attempts to censor criticism of Israel is in fact 'making' people into antisemites.

So - a lot going on here. Prominent Jews are condemning conservatives who haven't condemned Candace Owens - accusing them of fueling antisemitism, while Megyn Kelly says that in general, attempts to label conservatives critical of Israeli policy as 'antisemites' is actually creating antisemites.

Tensions peaked at Turning Point USA's AmFest conference last week, where Shapiro downplayed the 1967 USS Liberty incident in which Israel attacked a US Navy ship and killed 34 Americans - calling it a 'mistake' that's now largely irrelevant because it happened so long ago:

The next day, Shapiro escalated during a speech at the Heritage Foundation in which he called Carlson an "enemy of the conservative movement" for promoting conspiracies.

Meanwhile, in a concurrent Vanity Fair interview, Megyn Kelly accused Shapiro and Weiss of "making antisemites" by aggressively labeling critics, calling Shapiro "Israel first," and criticizing their alleged efforts to "cancel" her from the movement.

To recap the drama:

Moments after Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, opened the conference with a speech calling her late husband a “peacemaker” and urging an end to the squabbling, Shapiro issued a blistering jeremiad that recalled William F. Buckley Jr.’s attempted excommunication of the far right. “The conservative movement is in serious danger,” Shapiro said, “from charlatans who claim to speak in the name of principle but actually traffic in conspiracism and dishonesty, who offer nothing but bile and despair.”

He denounced Candace Owens—a podcaster he once employed at The Daily Wire, the media company he co-founded—who has emerged as the chief purveyor of conspiracy theories about Kirk’s murder. Her videos investigating the killing, infused with all the drama of a true-crime documentary, have been viewed millions of times.

Shapiro extended his criticism to those he said have “refused to condemn Candace’s truly vicious attacks,” naming Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson, and Steve Bannon. A few hours later on the same stage, Carlson fired back. “To hear calls for like, de-platforming and denouncing people at a Charlie Kirk event, I’m like, what?” Carlson said, with an air of annoyed confusion. “I mean, this kind of was the whole point of Charlie Kirk’s public life, and I think that he died for it.” -Vanity Fair

And Kelly's comments on Shapiro etc. 'making antisemites' for quashing criticism of Israel:

"What Charlie and I saw at the same time was that the country is turning," Kelly said. "And young Republicans are turning on Israel."

She argued that figures like Shapiro and Weiss are actually fueling the rise of antisemitism through their attempts to censor criticism of Israel. “They are making antisemites,” she said. “Tucker is not making antisemites. They are.” -Vanity Fair

Scientist reveals exactly what our first contact with aliens will be like and it's not like the movies

20:18 26 Dec 2025 GMT

The depiction of humanity's 'first contact' with alien life has been the subject of countless sci-fi films and novels, but a new research paper argues that if we ever discover the existence of alien intelligence, it will be far more 'loud' than previously imagined.

H. G. Wells' War of the Worlds and movies like Independence Day have 'preconditioned' many of us into thinking that our first experience of non-human intelligence from space will be violent and hostile.

Other depictions like Arrival (2016) and The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) show a more benevolent form of first contact, with more advanced alien civilizations attempting to share their wisdom.

But a top astronomer is now arguing that the history of extraterrestrial discoveries tells us something quite different.

Scientist David Kipping, a top researcher in the field of extraterrestrial intelligences (ETIs), has shared his new 'Eschatian hypothesis' on alien life in a new paper, detailing how our first contact will likely be a tragedy for the aliens.

Speaking ahead of the publication, Kipping explained on his YouTube channel: "Hollywood has preconditioned us to expect one of two types of alien contact, either a hostile invasion force or a benevolent species bestowing wisdom to humanity.

"But the Eschatian hypothesis is neither."

The history of scientific discovery is littered with examples where the first example we notice of an astronomical phenomena does not end up representing the overall picture.

Often, this 'detection bias' means the first observation astronomers make will be of the 'loudest' variable.

An easy example of this can be seen with the naked eye, which can perceive up to 2,500 stars in a clear night sky.

Around a third of these celestial bodies will be evolved giant stars that outshine smaller stars and red giants, despite these giants making up around one percent of stars in the observable universe.

Because of this, Kipping, who is director of the Cool Worlds Lab at Columbia University, argues that the first time we notice the tell-tale signatures of observable 'ETIs' in the universe, it will likely to be the result of some life-ending calamity befalling an alien civilization.

He argues in the research article: "If history is any guide, then perhaps the first signatures of extraterrestrial intelligence will too be highly atypical, 'loud' examples of their broader class.

"Motivated by this, we propose the Eschatian Hypothesis: that the first confirmed detection of an extraterrestrial technological civilization is most likely to be an atypical example, one that is unusually "loud" (i.e. producing an anomalously strong technosignature), and plausibly in a transitory, unstable, or even terminal phase."

These loud 'technosignatures' detectable millions of light years away by Earth's space observatories could be something as drastic as a sudden burst of energy, or even signs of a rapidly changing climate could be detected on our planet.

"Here, first contact is with a civilisation in its death throes, one that is violently flailing before the end," Kipping argues.

For astronomers, this hypothesis would mean that the most effective way to detect the existence of alien life would not be to target specific planets or solar systems, but to take a much broader approach to find these 'loud' signals of a civilization in collapse.

expand on the network map by focusing on the ongoing activities such as the seditious billboards they are funding

### Expanded Network Map: Focus on the "Obey Only Lawful Orders" Billboard Campaign

This expansion builds on the prior map, zeroing in on Defiance.org's most controversial ongoing activity as of late December 2025: the billboard campaign targeting U.S. military personnel. Launched in mid-December 2025, the campaign places billboards near key military installations in Florida, urging troops to "Obey Only Lawful Orders" and directing them to defiance.org/troops for legal resources. Critics, including conservative outlets and X users, label it seditious, accusing it of undermining military discipline and encouraging insubordination against President Trump.

#### Campaign Details

- Message and Design: Billboards prominently display “Obey Only Lawful Orders,” quoting the Manual for Courts-Martial (Article 92): "A general order or regulation is lawful unless it is contrary to the Constitution, the law of the United States, or lawful superior orders." They include the URL defiance.org/troops.

- Locations:

- Near MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, FL (home to U.S. Special Operations Command and Central Command; billboards spotted on Gandy Blvd. and Selmon Expressway, ~2 miles from base).

- Near U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) headquarters in Doral, FL (overseeing operations in Latin America; additional proximity to Trump National Doral golf resort noted by organizers).

- Timing and Context: Launched December 17, 2025, amid Trump administration military strikes on alleged drug-smuggling boats in the Caribbean and Pacific (reportedly killing ~100 people). Organizers cite concerns over potential "unlawful orders" in these operations.

- Scope and Plans: Initial phase in Florida; organizers (including Miles Taylor) state intent to expand to other bases if "future presidential actions pose legal concerns." Includes digital ads, posters, and online messaging in military communities.

- Budget: Described as part of a ~$50,000 initiative in some reports; Defiance previously aimed for $25,000/week in member pledges for billboards.

- Public Promotion: Miles Taylor announced it on X (@MilesTaylorUSA) on December 17, 2025, with a photo of the billboard, garnering significant engagement and backlash.

#### Key Connections in the Campaign

- Primary Organizers:

- Defiance.org (co-founded by Miles Taylor and Xander Schultz): Leads the campaign, frames it as a "constitutional alarm bell" to remind troops the president is "bound by the law."

- Whistleblower Aid (@wbaidlaw): Key partner; provides confidential legal advice, whistleblower hotlines, and defense for troops refusing orders. Taylor highlighted this partnership in his announcement.

- Supporting Network:

- Ties to broader "resistance" efforts, including prior coordination with groups like RepresentUs and Democracy Defenders Fund.

- Inspired by (and defended) the "Seditious Six" – six Democratic lawmakers who released a November 2025 video urging troops to refuse illegal orders (prompting Trump's calls for their prosecution).

- Media and Amplification:

- Promoted via Defiance.news/Substack (Miles Taylor's platform) and live briefings (e.g., December 17-19, 2025 events on "Obey Only Lawful Orders").

- Covered by outlets like NBC News, The Independent, and local Tampa media (e.g., WTSP/10 Tampa Bay).

#### Funding Sources for the Campaign

- Grassroots Model: Defiance.org operates as a nonprofit relying on member subscriptions and donations (via Substack and defiance.org; pledges from $1–$1,000/month). Funds are allocated directly to campaigns like billboards (e.g., weekly goals publicized for ad buys).

- No Major Disclosed Donors: Unlike Schultz's past PACs (e.g., Defeat By Tweet raised millions from individual/progressives), current funding is opaque beyond member contributions. Not tax-deductible; no ties to candidates/PACs.

- Critic Speculation: Conservative sources (e.g., RedState, Twitchy, X posts) allege hidden "Democrat NGO" or "Soros-funded" backing, but no evidence found. Campaign framed as member-driven "mutual aid."

>>24035725

>expand on the network map by focusing on the ongoing activities such as the seditious billboards they are funding

#### Criticism and "Seditious" Label

- Conservative Backlash:

- Labeled "sedition" or "color revolution tactics" for targeting military chain of command (e.g., X post by @amuse: "organized resistance targeting the military itself").

- Accusations of politicizing the military, sowing chaos, and mirroring foreign interference (e.g., urging encryption, counseling on "disobeying immoral orders").

- White House/Pentagon response implied in reports; echoes Trump's prior rhetoric against similar efforts.

- Defiance's Defense: Taylor states it's educational – troops already must disobey unlawful orders under UCMJ – and provides "independent legal support" amid "illegal orders" concerns.

- Broader Implications: Campaign escalates Defiance's role from protest coordination to direct military outreach, drawing national scrutiny. As of December 27, 2025, billboards remain active, with potential for expansion.

This campaign solidifies Defiance as the core hub linking Taylor's insider critique and Schultz's activist fundraising, while amplifying ties to legal/whistleblower networks. Ongoing developments (e.g., new locations or legal challenges) could further extend the map.

Head of EU Parliament’s biggest faction wants German soldiers in Ukraine

Berlin must send troops to Ukraine as part of a potential peace settlement, according to Manfred Weber, the leader of the European People’s Party (EPP) – a political group with the biggest faction in the EU Parliament. Brussels cannot rely on Washington to secure peace between Moscow and Kiev, the politician told Funke Media Group in an interview published this week.

Moscow has repeatedly rejected the idea of any NATO presence in Ukraine. It also named the US-led bloc’s expansion to the East one of the root causes of the conflict.

Kiev’s Western backers, including France and the UK have occasionally raised the issue of NATO troop deployment to Ukraine throughout the conflict. The plan was given another impetus earlier this month at the talks in Berlin, where US officials met with the Ukrainian delegation, the leaders of Germany, France, the UK, and eight other European countries.

”We cannot seriously expect Trump to secure a peace settlement solely with American troops. And when we talk about European troops, Germany cannot be left out,” Weber said. “After a ceasefire or a peace agreement, the European flag must fly along the [contact] line.”

He also claimed he did not “see” the Russian leadership “pursuing the path of peace” and called on Kiev’s European backers to demonstrate strength.

Moscow has repeatedly stated it is ready and willing to resolve the conflict peacefully as long as the other side demonstrates a similar commitment and the root causes of the crisis are addressed. On Friday, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said that the conflict resolution was “really close” but warned that Kiev and its European backers are actively trying to “torpedo” the peace process.

The Trump administration has not confirmed the extent of its support for the European plan. Weber also called on the EU to act independently from the US in security matters, prompting the NATO head, Mark Rutte, to warn that creating alternatives to the bloc would not benefit its European members.

FBI Caught Hillary Clinton Discussing Donations With Foreign Felon

As Hillary Clinton closed in on the presidential nomination in the spring of 2016, FBI field officers advised colleagues at headquarters to press her on the foreign donations flowing to the Clinton Foundation while she steered American foreign policy and whether she had used the charity as a campaign piggy bank.

But FBI HQ in Washington — a city in which the former secretary of state and first lady wields enormous influence — let the trail go cold.

FBI New York Assistant Director in Charge Diego Rodriguez advised agents in Washington to ask Clinton several questions about the foundation, which are reproduced in full in documents released to the Senate Judiciary Committee by the FBI and published on Dec. 15. (p. 22) The questions reveal the concerns about foreign bribery that the Clinton Foundation case — codenamed “Cracked Foundation” — had uncovered. (p. 41)

Among the evidence available to investigators, according to their questions: A recorded conversation between Clinton and Indian hotel magnate Sant Singh Chatwal in which Clinton discussed donations to the foundation and her remaining 2008 campaign debt. The new documents confirm that FBI had at one time been “intercepting individuals associated with the Clinton Foundation.” (p. 23)

But when Clinton arrived to the FBI two months later, in July 2016, to answer questions about her use of a private email server in a separate investigation codenamed “Midyear Exam,” D.C. agents asked nothing about the allegations of pay-to-play with foreign governments or use of the global charity as a slush fund.

The Clinton Foundation did not respond to a request for comment. Chatwal could not be reached for comment.

Colonial era

edit

In the 1600s, imported English Thoroughbred horses were first bred with assorted local horses on the Eastern seaboard of colonial America.[4]

One of the most famous of these early imports was Janus, a Thoroughbred who was the grandson of the Godolphin Arabian. He was foaled in 1746, and imported to colonial Virginia in 1756.[5] The influence of Thoroughbreds like Janus contributed genes crucial to the development of the colonial "Quarter Horse".[6][7] The resulting horse was small, hardy, quick, and was used as a work horse during the week and a race horse on the weekends.[8]

As flat racing became popular with the colonists, the Quarter Horse gained even more popularity as a sprinter over courses that, by necessity, were shorter than the classic racecourses of England. These courses were often no more than a straight stretch of road or flat piece of open land. When competing against a Thoroughbred, local sprinters often won.[citation needed] As the Thoroughbred breed became established in America, many colonial Quarter Horses were included in the original American stud books.[9] This began a long association between the Thoroughbred breed and what would later become officially known as the "Quarter Horse", named after the 1⁄4 mile (0.40 km) race distance at which it excelled.[10][11] Some Quarter Horses have been clocked at up to 44 mph (71 km/h).[12]

Westward expansion

edit

In the 19th century, pioneers heading West needed a hardy, willing horse. On the Great Plains, settlers encountered horses that descended from the Spanish stock Hernán Cortés and other Conquistadors had introduced into the viceroyalty of New Spain, which became the Southwestern United States and Mexico.

The horses of the West included herds of feral animals known as Mustangs, as well as horses domesticated by Native Americans, including the Comanche, Shoshoni and Nez Perce tribes.[13][14] As the colonial Quarter Horse was crossed with these western horses, the pioneers found that the new crossbred had innate "cow sense", a natural instinct for working with cattle, making it popular with cattlemen on ranches.[15]

Development as a distinct breed

edit

Early foundation sires of Quarter Horse type included Steel Dust, foaled 1843; Shiloh (or Old Shiloh), foaled 1844; Old Cold Deck (1862); Lock's Rondo, one of many "Rondo" horses, foaled in 1880; Old Billy—again, one of many "Billy" horses—foaled c. 1880; Traveler, a stallion of unknown breeding, known to have been in Texas by 1889;[16] and Peter McCue, foaled 1895, registered as a Thoroughbred but of disputed pedigree.[8][16][17] Another early foundation sire for the breed was Copperbottom, foaled in 1828, who tracks his lineage through the Byerley Turk, a foundation sire of the Thoroughbred horse breed.[18][19][20][21]

The main duty of the ranch horse in the American West was working cattle. Even after the invention of the automobile, horses were still irreplaceable for handling livestock on the range. Thus, major Texas cattle ranches, such as the King Ranch, the 6666 (Four Sixes) Ranch, and the Waggoner Ranch played a significant role in the development of the modern Quarter Horse. The skills required by cowboys and their horses became the foundation of the rodeo, a contest which began with informal competition between cowboys and expanded to become a major competitive event throughout the west. The Quarter Horse dominates in events that require speed as well as the ability to handle cattle.[22] >>24035748

New corruption scandal erupts in Kiev

(IT NEVER ENDS IN UKRAINE AND THE EU)

Anti-graft agencies have said that they have uncovered an illegal lobbying scheme in parliament following an undercover operation

Ukraine’s anti-corruption authorities saythey have uncovered a criminal vote-rigging and bribery scheme involving serving members of the country’s parliament, following an undercover operation.

The development comes ahead of a meeting between Vladimir Zelensky and US President Donald Trump in Florida.

Kiev is still reeling from a major corruption scandal in state nuclear operator Energoatom, involving Zelensky’s longtime associate, Timur Mindich. Two ministers and the Ukrainian leader’s influential chief of staff, Andrey Yermak, were ousted in the wake of the revelations.

Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) exposed an organized criminal enterprise involving serving MPs, the agencies reported on Saturday.

“According to the investigation, the group’s members systematically received illicit benefits in exchange for voting in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine,” NABU said in a statement on Telegram.

Members of Ukraine’s State Security Administration,a law enforcement agency subordinate to the Ukrainian presidency and the Rada, were “illegally” interfering with NABU agents during the ongoing investigation, the anti-graft agency noted.

On Saturday, NABU reportedly conducted searches in the Rada’s Transport Committee, which is led by Yuri Kisel, a member of Zelensky’s ruling party.

Earlier in December, Ukrainian outlet ZN.ua reported that anti-graft agencies discovered an illegal lobbying “cash window” after wire-tapping the MP over the course of two years.

NABU and SAPO began their broader crackdown earlier this year, with their revelations on a $100 million kickback scheme in Energoatom.

While the investigation implicated the Ukrainian leader’s close aides and former associates, Zelensky has distanced himself from the scandal.

However, nearly 40% of Ukrainians believe the Ukrainian leader is implicated in corruption, according to a recent Socis poll.

The country’s leadership has long devolved into a “criminal gang that holds power for personal enrichment,” Russian President Vladimir Putin said last week. It’s clear that the corrupt and out-of-touch officials in Kiev no longer care about “the fate of common people in Ukraine or the fate of ordinary soldiers,” he stressed.

Yeah I dunno why people overanalyze Time. Time is a manmade measurement of the movement of the sun so we can more accurately dispense amounts of work throughout the day. You can also use Time to set up meetings. Also you would have a general idea of optimal times to plant your seeds and harvest. Sometimes 'Time', the movement from moment to moment, feels slow, and sometimes it feels fast.

If we were on a different planet with a sun that cycles differently than 24 hours, we'd adjust it to that planet.

The 24/7/365 measurement is just the cycles of our sun from the perspective of our planet. On another planet it like be 40 hours per day, and take 400 days to circle the sun, so there might be less or more weeks in a year.

What Were Stalin's Five Year Plans? | History Hit

What Were Stalin's Five Year Plans? | History Hit

View all

The Soviet Union's Five-Year Plans, starting in 1928 under Joseph Stalin, were centralized economic strategies to rapidly transform the agrarian nation into an industrial and military power, focusing on heavy industry (coal, steel, electricity) and forced agricultural collectivization through state-set quotas. While achieving massive industrial growth and making the USSR a major player, the plans caused immense human suffering, including widespread famine and forced labor, by prioritizing heavy industry over consumer goods and brutally implementing agricultural changes.

Key Goals & Features:

Rapid Industrialization:

Shift from a peasant society to an industrial powerhouse, especially in heavy industries like mining, steel, and energy.

Collectivization of Agriculture:

Forced consolidation of individual farms into large state-run collective farms (Kolkhozes) to increase output and free up labor for factories.

Centralized Planning:

A state committee (Gosplan) set production targets (quotas) for all sectors, replacing the mixed economy of the New Economic Policy (NEP).

Propaganda:

Used intense propaganda to rally the population, often framing the effort as a war against backwardness, as seen in slogans like "the five-year plan in four years!".

Outcomes & Consequences:

Industrial Success:

Transformed the USSR into a major industrial force, building new cities and factories, which was crucial for its later military strength.

Humanitarian Disaster:

Agricultural collectivization led to catastrophic food shortages, famine (like the Holodomor in Ukraine), and the deaths of millions.

Neglect of Consumer Goods:

Production of consumer goods, housing, and food for the general populace suffered greatly.

Labor Mobilization:

Drew millions from rural areas to cities for factory work, creating a new industrial workforce.

Legacy:

The Five-Year Plans established the Soviet Union as a formidable industrial and military power capable of challenging capitalist nations.

They also created deep-seated economic imbalances and social trauma, leaving a complex legacy of forced modernization and immense human cost.

As for time travel, you'd have to find out how to get from this moment, to another moment, where the distance from one moment to the other moment is larger than baseline moving from one moment to another moment. I like to call the sleeping.

Also if time is manmade, then how can a gravitational pull like the one from a blackhole gunna bend something that doesn't really exist? Maybe this moment is the only one that matters, and time travel is just pictures, movies, and your imagination.

Netanyahu’s New Slant To Lure Trump Into War With Iran

Neither Hamas, nor Gaza Phase Two, that lies predominantly behind Netanyahu’s summit intent – but rather Iran

In these last days, the Trump Administration has boarded or seized three tankers either loaded with Venezuelan oil or destined for Venezuela (such as the Bella1). The most egregious seizure – in terms of illegality – being a Chinese-owned, Panama-flagged vessel reportedly destined for China – and on no one’s sanctions list.

In a different zone of conflict, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) last Friday claimed that it had struck a Russian so-called ‘shadow fleet’ tanker, the Qendil, with aerial drones in waters of the Mediterranean Sea off Morocco. The SBU did not give further details of the attack, including how the SBU deployed a drone in the Mediterranean (2,000 Km from Ukraine), or the site from which it was launched. The SBU source said the cargo ship was empty at the time of the attack.

President Putin, in midst of his annual question and answer marathon, vowed that Russia would retaliate.

‘Blockades’, seizures and attacks, very plainly, are acts of war (despite the U.S. claim that America owns all oil produced by Venezuela – until all historical U.S. legal claims against Venezuela are satisfied). This tanker-episode is yet another ratchet to the drift to lawlessness in U.S. foreign policy.

These acts pre-eminently are aimed at China (which has large equities in the Venezuelan oil industry) and Russia, which has longstanding ties to both Venezuela and Cuba (now under Trump ‘blockade’ too). Add to that the $11bn in weapons being sent to Taiwan — with a significant amount of medium to long-range missile systems being part of the planned transfer, including 82 HIMARS launchers with Army ATACMS missiles, allowing Taipei forces to hit targets across the Taiwan Strait.

This latter transfer has infuriated China.

What this suggests is that the National Strategy Statement (NSS) in respect to China (it states that Washington views China as no longer constituting a ‘prime threat’, but only as an economic competitor) is meaningless rhetoric. China is being treated as an adversarial threat and will respond as such.

China and Russia will ‘read’ the Trump Administration by its actions, rather than its NSS rhetoric. And the signals speak plainly to escalatory steps.

Put all this into the context of ‘leaks’ by senior Trump officials which Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard says are “lies and propaganda”. She says the claims that “the ‘U.S. intelligence community’ agrees to, and supports the EU/NATO viewpoint, that Russia’s aim is to invade/conquer Europe (in order to ‘gin up support’ for their pro-war policies)” — that these are lies being pushed by what she terms “Deep State warmongers and their Propaganda Media … to undermine Trump’s efforts to bring peace to Ukraine”.

“The truth”, Gabbard writes on Twitter, is the opposite:

“[That] the U.S. intelligence community has briefed policymakers, including the Democrat HPSCI member quoted by Reuters, that U.S. Intelligence assesses that Russia seeks to avoid a larger war with NATO. It also assesses that, as the last few years have shown, Russia … does not have the capability to invade and occupy Europe” — and that “U.S. Intelligence assesses that Russia seeks to avoid a larger war with NATO”.

Thousands set to rally against Netanyahu and Qatargate ‘treason’ in weekly protests

Hostage relatives expected to speak in Tel Aviv and Haifa demonstrations; family of last hostage to gather in hometown Meitar to demand no progress on Gaza truce before his return

Thousands of protesters are expected to take to the streets in the nation’s largest cities on Saturday night amid a series of damning reports about Qatar’s ties with aides to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The focus on Qatar, a key backer of Hamas, came after the publication this week of reports and interviews that appeared to tie Netanyahu to the so-called Bild and Qatargate probes in which his top aides have either been prime suspects or indicted. Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett called Qatargate “the most serious act of treason in Israeli history.”

The anti-government rallies are backed by a range of activist groups that are also protesting the Netanyahu government’s bids to weaken the judiciary, codify the Haredi exemption from military service and avoid a state commission of inquiry into failures surrounding the Hamas onslaught of October 7, 2023.

Meanwhile, the family of slain police officer Ran Gvili, the last remaining October 7 hostage, will hold a rally in his honor Saturday night demanding that there be no progress on the Gaza truce until his body is returned.

Protesters in Jerusalem will march from Netanyahu’s residence to President Isaac Herzog’s residence, while protesters in Haifa will gather at the central Horev area, where Ayala Metzger, daughter-in-law of slain hostage Yoram Metzger, is expected to speak.

“We’re not taking our foot off the gas,” Haifa protest organizers wrote on X, demanding new elections and an investigation into “Netanyahu’s involvement in the treason in his office.”

Protesters in Tel Aviv will gather at Habima Square and march to the Savidor train station. Set to speak at Habima is Merav Svirsky, whose parents were murdered in Kibbutz Be’eri during the October 7 attack and whose brother Itay was killed in captivity in Gaza.

Head of EU Parliament’s biggest faction wants German soldiers in Ukraine

(Nazis still live and Germany with Merz and Mark Rutte, they never went away)

Russia has repeatedly rejected the idea of any NATO troop deployment to the country’s territory

Manfred Weber, the leader of the European People’s Party (EPP).

Berlin must send troops to Ukraineas part of a potential peace settlement, according to Manfred Weber, the leader of the European People’s Party (EPP) – a political group with the biggest faction in the EU Parliament.

Brussels cannot rely on Washington to secure peace-between Moscow and Kiev, the politician told Funke Media Group in an interview published this week. (This is exactly why Putin started his Operation, to save innocents in Ukraine)

Moscow has repeatedly rejected the idea of any NATO presence in Ukraine. It also named the US-led bloc’s expansion to the East one of the root causes of the conflict.

Kiev’s Western backers, including France and the UK haveoccasionally raised the issue of NATO troop deployment to Ukraine throughout the conflict. The plan was given another impetus earlier this month at the talks in Berlin, where US officials met with the Ukrainian delegation, the leaders of Germany, France, the UK, and eight other European countries.

”We cannot seriously expect Trump to secure a peace settlement solely with American troops.And when we talk about European troops, Germany cannot be left out,” Weber said. “After a ceasefire or a peace agreement, the European flag must fly along the [contact] line.”

He also claimed he did not “see” the Russian leadership “pursuing the path of peace” and called on Kiev’s European backers to demonstrate strength.

Moscow has repeatedly stated it is ready and willing to resolve the conflict peacefully as long as the other side demonstrates a similar commitment and the root causes of the crisis are addressed. On Friday, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said that the conflict resolution was “really close” but warned that Kiev and its European backers are actively trying to “torpedo” the peace process.

The Trump administration has not confirmed the extent of its support for the European plan. Weber also called on the EU to act independently from the US in security matters, prompting the NATO head, Mark Rutte, to warn that creating alternatives to the bloc would not benefit its European members.

The Pentagon’s Pandora’s Box Is Wide Open: The U.S. Integrates Its Advanced “AI-controlled Kill Chain” Into Military-Intelligence Ops

Almost 30 years ago, Samuel Huntington published “The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order”, where he famously said that “the West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion, but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence”. He concluded that “Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do”. Obviously, this is hardly surprising given the fact that precisely non-Western nations had to endure the trauma of the political West’s aggression against the entire world. But how did the world’s most aggressive power pole manage to secure such a massive advantage, despite being heavily outnumbered?

The answer to that question is rather complex and goes far beyond the scope of a single article. And yet, there are certain nuances that we could address and one of those is the political West’s propensity to (ab)use advanced technologies in order to gain the upper hand. This is not to say that other, often far more advanced civilizations couldn’t do it, because it’s all a matter of political will. For instance, Ancient China certainly had the technological know-how to achieve absolute superiority over much (if not most) of the world, but simply chose not to, instead focusing on trade. Namely, the Asian giant was behind several world-altering technologies that could’ve ensured that.

This includes gunpowder, paper and the printing press, three inventions without which the modern world is entirely unviable and unimaginable. However, we didn’t see China build massive invasion forces that would go around the planet, robbing entire continents of their native populations and settling colonists on their lands. It was the political West which did that centuries after acquiring those technologies from China and refining them into brutal killing machines. Ever since, there hasn’t been a single technology that Western nations haven’t adapted to be used for this purpose. This hasn’t changed in the slightest to this very day and there are no indicators it ever will.

Namely, while the multipolar (i.e., the actual) world is looking to regulate and limit artificial intelligence (AI) to prevent its misuse and abuse, the most powerful Western nation, the United States, is pursuing the full integration of advanced AI into its so-called “kill chain”. The Pentagon is doing this in close partnership with xAI. The company, known for operating X (formerly Twitter) and Grok AI chatbot, is owned by Elon Musk, a controversial billionaire (or soon-to-be trillionaire, if his uncontrollable wealth accumulation continues) with very close ties with the US military. Namely, his SpaceX has been working with the Pentagon to provide advanced services such as the now (in)famous Starlink.

The system is also used for advanced communications and ISR (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance) by the Neo-Nazi junta in NATO-occupied Ukraine, where it provided a major advantage until it was largely suppressed by Russian EW (electronic warfare) assets. SpaceX is also working with the Pentagon to provide orbital launch options. Interestingly, Musk often speaks about the dangers of AI and is adamant that it shouldn’t be used in warfare, calling it “more dangerous than nuclear weapons”. What made him change his mind is anyone’s guess, but here we are, as one of his most prospective companies is weaponizing AI for the world’s most aggressive country.

Tikvah's Jonathan Silver tells Rabbi Benjamin Elton that a "psychic animal spirit" was "let loose" over the past two years giving people "permission" to express "anti-Semitic" ideas.

Suppressing such views was a "very impressive civic achievement" that has now unraveled, he says.

Rabbi Elton, chief minister of Sydney's Great Synagogue, laments the rise of "anti-Semitism" on the left and right, citing Bob Carr, Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes and Candace Owens.

"I don't think it's at all clear how that genie gets put back in the bottle."

(The Trump admin in Sept awarded Tikvah $10.4m to counter "the pathology of anti-Semitism" and teach the Talmud.)

morning ponder

harmony

majority of humanity as an instrument.

each age has a specific tuning / 'key' / note.

time uses the reference of a clock in order to be conceived.

make note, of the hour and sense of the minute passing.

"that's notecents", some will say.

360 the perfect (ideal) circle they say.

but the year circle is 365.

by maintaining alignment,

earth-sun-galaxy.

the year is tuned.

what quality is modified when tuning?

better to detune first?

the psychological makeup/map/scale of aquarius.

stimulus-response/tuning to establish harmony.

reckons one can tune countries by its contents… i.e. religion, government, religion etc to bring into harmony.

from that perspective, geuss the news is telling us what the tune-ables are.

fine tuning, bring into a chord and such
