Nice to know that, somewhere, and even without a Constitution of guarantees and a Bill of Rights, Speech and Freedom gets serious in unusual places.
Durov, in his recent interview with T. Carlson, certainly placed the end of it in the USA, Russia and now, France.

UAE Cancels $20 Billion Rafale Deal with France despite Telegram CEO’s Release
” The diplomatic fallout from the arrest of Telegram CEO Pavel Durov continues to escalate, as the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has decided to cancel its US$20 billion deal with France for 80 Rafale fighter jets. The decision comes in the wake of Durov’s brief detention by French authorities, a move that has strained relations between the UAE and France, despite Durov’s release on bail.
According to reports in the public domain, the UAE, a close ally of Durov, has expressed its anger over the arrest, viewing it as an affront to its sovereignty and a violation of diplomatic norms. Durov’s connections in the UAE, particularly his relationship with the Emir’s son, Zayed Al Nahyan, have only intensified the situation. The UAE government’s decision to halt the Rafale deal, which was signed with French aerospace company Dassault in 2021, is seen as a direct response to Durov’s treatment.
The deal, which was valued at US$20 billion, was one of the largest defense contracts signed by the UAE in recent years. It included the delivery of 80 Rafale fighter jets, with the first batch expected to arrive in 2027. The cancellation of this deal not only represents a significant economic loss for France but also marks a sharp deterioration in UAE-France relations, which had been strong and cooperative until this incident. “

This is big.
I have to give it some more study tomorrow.
It appears they are trying to loot the United State of large-scale, public resources...like the Clintons stealing the White House silverware upon leaving office.

Steve,
Sorry I have not heard about any of this. I will watch the video you provided soon. Thanks.
Thanks, Foldie. Can you doctor the “fight, fight, fight” picture to show Tulsi, RFK, jr and Musk protecting President Trump instead of the non-protective agents?
Trey Clay, I love you to death and think you're a great congressman.
But, seriously, do you really think any of the jokers you are going to call are shaking in their wingtip Birkenstocks at the thought they might be called before a congressional committee?
Foldy! Outstanding!
The common misconception is that our current history is humans’ first “history”. The fact is there have been several advanced civilizations of humans on earth that have come and gone through the Yugas. It has all happened before and it will all happen again.
Side note...
Usually when archeologists dig in America they stop digging when they find Clovis materials. You gotta dig deeper to find the older humans.
The Broken Window Theory—aggressively prosecuting violations of “minor crimes” like vandalism, loitering, littering, public drinking, and fare evasion to establish an atmosphere of lawfulness and order thus preventing more serious crimes from occurring—informed policing starting in the 1990s. It’s what pulled NYC and other major cities back from the brink.
Rollins’ “manifesto” is the complete rejection of that highly successful approach.
The inmates are truly running the asylum.
Hahahahha, that’s one smart bird! :-)
Sort of peripherally related: Years and years ago, I had read something about what appeared to be shoe prints being found in very, very, very old rock layers. What are your thoughts on this this type of thing? Is there anything to it?

clinton tested the waters on the Grand Escalante low sulpher coal fields for his benefactor mochtar riady (who controlled the only other major low supher coal fields in Malaysia)
“Then, with a stroke of his pen, President Clinton signs a document establishing 1.7 million acres in southern Utah as the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.”

now the DS bankers have figured out how to steal & monetize national resources
