Q has reminded us repeatedly that together, we are strong. As the false "narrative" is destroyed and the divisive machinery put in place by the Deep State fails, the fact that patriotism has no skin color or political party is exposed for all to see.

Or, do they represent themselves (in some form)?
Mental Enslavement.
The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding ‘mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the chains of ‘group-think’), but, more importantly, aid in the construction of a vehicle (a ‘ship’) that provides the scattered (‘free thinkers’) with a ‘starter’ new social-networking platform which allows for freedom of thought, expression, and patriotism or national pride (the feeling of love, devotion and sense of attachment to a homeland and alliance with other citizens who share the same sentiment).
When ‘non-dogmatic’ information becomes FREE & TRANSPARENT it becomes a threat to those who attempt to control the narrative and/or the stable.
When you are awake, you stand on the outside of the stable (‘group-think’ collective), and have ‘free thought’.
"Free thought" is a philosophical viewpoint which holds that positions regarding truth should be formed on the basis of logic, reason, and empiricism, rather than authority, tradition, revelation, or dogma.
When you are awake, you are able to clearly see.
The choice is yours, and yours alone.
Trust and put faith in yourself.
You are not alone and you are not in the minority.
Difficult truths will soon see the light of day.

In the battle between those who strip us our constitutional rights, we can't afford to let false divisions separate us any longer. We, and our country, will be forever made stronger by diligently seeking the truth, independence and freedom of thought.

Since Trump retruthed a statement she made after the stolen election, I posted the link. I actually have read something that appeared to somewhat substantiate the gold thing. Regarding the tiktok, she didn’t make it, so it stands or falls on its own.

But, if we subsidize your purchase of an EV with your tax money, this wild weather will go away for your children’s children.
So pay some more, it’s for the children.
Baseball size hail? Eeeek. I’ve seen tennis ball size.
Kek!
I don’t have tiktok either, hopefully someone here does and will verify.
I liked it too.
Heck, on May 3, 1999, we had softball-size. Never want to see anything that size again!

Thank you for clearly articulating your position.
My judgement does not land there, because I think all politicians, including Putin, are guilty until proven otherwise of being totally motivated by power.
The problem geopolitically (i.e., relative to geography) is that there are no defensible, natural barriers (like mountains or major river) between Russia and Germany (or NATO); therefor, both sides want lots or territory to create a buffer for national security.
The results have been for the last 100 years that neither side is ever satisfied.
According to Oliver Stone, the USSR wanted friendly relations with the U.S. after fighting as allies in WWII, but instead there was the Cold War. Admittedly, if there was ever anything to Stone's idea that the two could have been friends, then the argument is so much stronger now that the USSR is gone along with the Russian flavor of communism.
BTW, Neither NATO nor the U.S. were parties to the Minsk protocols, which were an effort in 2014 and 2015 to stop the fighting in Donetsk. Moreover, according to the Moscow Times, the sides have never agreed as to the meaning of Minsk I or Minsk II
I don’t use Tiktok either, but you don’t have to in order to view the person’s channel:

It has been quite a while since I made a Broken China post. Some of the reasons have been personal. I will lay out what is going on with me in a separate post.
I could be doing daily posts on all the crap going on in the PRC but it would be terribly repetitive and y'all would rapidly lose interest. Most of what I am seeing is not objective and quantifiable. Suffice it to say that none of the things I am seeing would be present in a country with a healthy, functioning society with a functioning economy and a bright future.
You should take ALL of the following as anecdotal evidence. Enough individual points, when taken together, can paint quite the picture. That said, on with the show.
Item One:
The great problem with industrialization is that a county only gets to do it once. What took Britain seven generations, the US five, France four and Germany & Japan three, the PRC has done in less than two. It built a massive capacity for industrial production, housing for the workers coming to the cities, and road & rail systems to move people and goods. That drive for industrialization is OVER. They can NEVER get it back.
In the west, the purpose of a business is to make a profit for the shareholders. In China it is to provide employment for people and promote societal stability. If it happens to make a profit, all well and good.
The primary driver of economic growth for the PRC over the past two decades has been real estate and industrial construction. Construction accounted for about 30% of national GDP. In the process, the PRC overbuilt its housing capacity by about 100-200%.
The 2008 sub-prime housing crisis in the US occurred because we overbuilt our housing by about 5%. To get a measure of the societal dislocation, multiply the US subprime pain by 40-60 and apply it to a smaller, less resilient economy. Roughly 80% of construction workers in China are unemployed.
Real Estate has been the one area of the PRC economy the CCP has allowed citizens to invest in. They did it with a vengeance. Now over half of the people are seeing their sole retirement savings vanishing as the houses, apartments, etc, that many are still paying the mortgages on, are worth less than 10% of what they paid if they can be sold at all. This is NOT sitting well with the Chinese people.
Item Two:
The PRC produces approximately 55% of the world's steel. Until recently, about half that production was used in building and construction. No more. Now the PRC is trying to dump this steel anywhere it can. As a result they are facing rising protectionism.
The PRC is no longer the low cost producer in any manufacturing segment in any industry. All that it has going for it is a massive manufacturing capacity. As a result, unemployment is rising rapidly throughout the economy but led by construction.
Item Three:
What the PRC should have done, but couldn't for internal political reasons, during industrialization was to create an internal demand driven consumption market. It didn't. As a result there is no way to absorb much of this over capacity in production. That leaves exports and/or shuttering businesses. The former is creating increasing tariff protectionism among China's foreign consumers. The latter leads to internal societal discontent and revolt. This is the sum of all fears for the CCP.

Yet, as we string the red yarn, a picture starts to appear.

Rusdia’s security can be measured by which river is on the western border. Russia is relatively defensible when the frontier is on the Nieman(Poland), better on the Oder(Germany), and Russia is in great shape when the border is on the Elbe(East/West Germany). If the frontier ends up being on the Don or Donets in Ukraine, then Russia is in trouble, which is why both sides want to control the region.
Thank you! I was thinking that, because of the other tiktok gal who met with Trump. And yes, that video is up.
This is a good place to park these videos.
This was the day before the Special Military Operation - invasion of Ukraine, 55 minutes.

Oliver Stone’s videos, I guess both are his, haven’t watched lately.
Ukraine on Fire
Ukraine. Across its eastern border is Russia and to its west-Europe. For centuries, it has been at the center of a tug-of-war between powers seeking to control its rich lands and access to the Black Sea. 2014’s Maidan Massacre triggered a bloody uprising that ousted president Viktor Yanukovych and painted Russia as the perpetrator by Western media. But was it? “Ukraine on Fire” by Igor Lopatonok..

“The Korean redneck” has another tiktok video up related to this one, very short; he wants to know what’s going on.

PRC is no longer the low cost producer——: Yup. A bit of a side note but in that vein. I buy a lot of nuts and bolts. By the hundreds and thousands and upwards of 200 types and sizes. In recent times my normal suppliers let me specify domestic or other and I normally specify domestic even tho they might cost a bit more. I just got in and order of 250 bolts where quality wasn’t critical so I just noted “any available.” The were made in Vietnam and are as good as any. In recent times they might have come from china but it seems like those days are gone.
