Q says this is like "something out of a movie".

amazing!

was yesterday the first time we’ve seen “FAKEWOOD” ? I think so ... but it seems such an essential term!

This Q made me think about the eyeglasses and Virtual Reality (VR) stuff that Google and others have been working on.
Wondering now if they were planning long term mass brain signaling. Could definitely see them sending subliminal images - but maybe electrical signals as well. Especially as VR continues to evolve to provide “more realistic” sensations and feedback in “game play”.
You appear to be in need of daily conversations with God and good (XPian) counseling. Don’t look for excuses that would talk yourself into divorce. It could be that the broken man before you needs you in his life for sanity sake.
Peace be with you.

Exactly. The deep state will declare RBG to be at room temperature when they need a big event. Never let a (staged) crisis go to waste.
CBS News Head David Rhodes Out
https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2019/01/06/cbs-news-head-david-rhodes-out/
After eight years, CBS News President David Rhodes is stepping down and will be replaced by CBS News executive Susan Zirinsky.
Its been eight incredible years since I joined @CBS. Im pleased to announce that Ill soon be handing the reins @CBSNews to Susan Zirinsky, our Senior Executive Producer, Rhodes announced Sunday night.
Wonder if this is part of why there has been talk of GE spinning off the Healthcare biz. It’s been pitched as a way to get cash to deal with overall financial issues, but I could easily see it as being a way to prevent the liability from this taking down the rest of the divisions.
I'd like to explore the proposed and "being-built" designs for the barrier. Do you know where I might find any info?
There has been some concrete/steel debate about the barrier. I don't see why it has to be either one or the other. Perhaps concrete is better suited than steel in one region or vice-versa.
Concerns about exposed steel corrosion are a bit overblown. The border barrier is in the most(?) arid region of the US...very dry. This is not central Ohio where humidity in the summer, and dank, wet winter days gorge on unprotected steel not to mention the tremendous usage of road salt going all thermonuclear on bridge decks and the supporting steel structure. Vastly different environments.
Ever notice the rusty-brown colored bridge iron when traveling on US highways? In most cases that's not a paint coating...it IS rust. ASTM A-588 aka "weathering steel" is used here. It's allowed to "rust", and the way this steel is alloyed the rust forms a protective barrier halting further corrosion. Another benefit is A-588 has a substantially better tensile strength than common run-of-the-mill (see what I did there?) A-36 structural steel.
Hot-dip galvanizing appears to me to be the ultimate in steel protection as ten-of-thousands of electrical power transmission towers can attest to.
I have often thought that common ductile iron pipe, the material used in a gargantuan amount of water main systems, would be the way to go for the bollard execution. Ductile iron is tough almost to the point of having a rubbery characteristic. This bend without breaking trait lends itself superbly well to unforeseen underground thrust forces, AND this stuff is practically immune to corrosion. And I haven't verified this, but I think most of the base stock for casting ductile iron pipe comes from scrap metal. Nice enviro selling point, no? DI pipe is dang near impossible to cut with an oxy-acetylene torch although it can be cut via other means such as a cut-off saw and abrasive blade. DI is commonly cast in 18' lengths, but I feel quite confident a couple of domestic foundries would readily tool-up upon seeing the potential market for longer-than-standard lengths. Yes...8" DI pipe installed vertically, 8' of its length bedded in a concrete slurry wall and 25' exposed vertically above grade. Then slosh the pipe bollards full of concrete. C~C spacing TBD. Low-tech, enviro friendly, and would withstand most attempts at breaching with common machinery and tools.
Anyway, thinking about how this barrier gets pulled-off is quite exciting to me, so I really would like to see what designs are proposed and/or being used right now.
I do have daily conversations with God.
I knew I should not have posted my thoughts on the vaccines.
Just trying to be kind to a neighbor.
Peace.
The point is that no matter who won the GOP nomination, the rats were going forward with their coup.
