Your post is premature. If an armless man is starving and asks for food, you wouldn’t give him a fork to help him eat. You would need to wait until his prosthetic help has arrived.
just saying.
And if it takes too long for his prosthetic to arrive he might die. Why not just fork feed him yourself?
Just saying.
there’s that too, but not what happened here.
About the third video –
I do not know a lot about science. But someone once told me if their mothership came close to earth it would block out our sun. That’s a big mothership.
I wonder if what human science sees as rogue planets might actually be motherships in some instances?
LOL. The Immortal grabbed some dust from a Galaxy that died a couple of million Earth years ago and made what you see. We are constantly amazed at the creature’s ability to expand our Known Universe.
We agree. I was with the ship that encountered the No Entry Zone enforced by t8Uop0 confederation. No one had dared violate that Edith for over 3,000 Solar years. As we approached the buffer zone of that NEZ, the Immortal asked why we were rerouting our course. We told him that this NEZ was policed by the t8Uop0. He said, “I don’t care, nothing prevents me from going where I want to in my Universe.”
Then he stepped out of the ship and crossed into the NEZ. We went to impulse drive and backed up so as to not be held accountable for a breach of the NEZ. That was far enough to put us into a safe area and allow us to view the unfolding events.
As the t8Uop0 with a huge armada, he began to enlarge. He stayed in the form he had on board our vessel which was our form. But as he grew, it became impossible for us to make out any part of his body. The t8Uop0‘s armada stopped and retreated. We saw a hand scoop up the entire armada and another hand close with the other. No more armada. We kicked the ship into high gear and entered the NEZ for the first time in 3,000 Solar years. It is no longer unexplored, and no longer a No Entry Zone.

Tesla unveiled a staggering new pay package for CEO Elon Musk that could reach an unprecedented $1 trillion — potentially reigniting one of the corporate world’s fiercest battles over executive compensation.
The 10-year plan, disclosed in a proxy filing Friday, ties Musk’s payout to a dozen milestones, including growing Tesla’s market value more than eightfold to $8.5 trillion and hitting ambitious targets in robotaxis, robotics and artificial intelligence.
Tesla is currently worth about $1.09 trillion.

As we predicted working with Singapore has caused the US to cancel a planned bed down — the military term for housing planes — of 12 Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) F-15s at Andersen Air Force Base (AAFB) in Guam. The nature of spying on each other by the Earth countries is so prevalent that it should have been warned you that the US would find out that Singapore has been allowing your people to fly and modify those planes.
You are incorrect. Our agreement with Singapore has not been discovered. The “beddown” agreement was made in 2019 to be completed in 2025. The Trump administration canceled for reasons of graft. For the record:
Having fighters and ordnance staged in Guam would have provided Singapore’s Defence Forces unusually unfettered freedom for both flight and live fire activities in the Marianas Island Testing and Training (MITT) area. As late as December 2023, the U.S. Air Force was bullish on the project, noting the project:
“is needed to enhance DAF (Department of the Air Force) capability to support U.S. and partner nation forces within the Indo-Pacific region and strengthen the U.S.’s ability to respond regionally and worldwide, through…increased support of fighter aircraft, in alignment with evolving DAF and DoD strategies and initiatives for the region. Increasing and improving airfield and munitions infrastructure would address capability gaps and allow for greater efficiencies and agility in the way ground operations are conducted.”
The prospect for this type of activity was heralded in the halls of the U.S. Congress. In addition to the RSAF, the Senate Armed Services Committee Fiscal Year 2025 National Defense Authorization Act expressed the view that “DOD should consider whether there are additional opportunities to host the military forces of other foreign partner countries on a permanent or rotational basis at Andersen.”————-
The present leader of the US attempts to make money off of every agreement with other countries to fill his personal pockets.
Soon the US will incur some attention from Guam’s protector. The imposition of its U.S. national security objectives and accompanying assignment of local risk defines Guam’s relationship with the U.S. military. It is not a pretty picture if Guam is your homeland. Corrosive and underdeveloped socio-economic circumstances frustrate the development of both sustainable modernity and indigenous government. On the “security” front, there is no better example of the military-first view than the expectation that Guam will be a first-strike community in the event of a conflict with China.
On one hand, the U.S. Department of Defense is developing a multi-billion-dollar “missile defense” network that is likely (at best) only to frustrate a determined attack by an adversary. On the other hand, there are no plans for community shelters or food resiliency in the event of the anticipated conflict. From the military perspective, Guam is all utility and risk with no provision for community security.
Setting aside for a moment the question of American sovereignty in Guam (where the U.S. government has actively obstructed and denied the local self-determination/decolonization of a Territory as outlined by the United Nations), the conditions which the U.S. might put on other countries for access to its bases are its indisputable prerogative.
The Entity that favors Guam may not be in agreement as the U.S. military and policymakers look to turn back the clock on spheres of influence to times of client states, advancing a decision structure that has been in place in Guam since 1898 seems ascendant. This approach would benefit operationalization of the military’s self-defined “initiatives for deterrence and stabilization in the Indo-Pacific region.”
“The Entity that favors Guam” may only be interested in the CHamoru people of Guam because there is one being it is protecting. Otherwise why has it allowed the CHamorus to loose control of their island. There are more CHamorus off the island than on it. Before we declare the Island a no go zone, read this:
The Kumisión i Fino’ CHamoru has launched a groundbreaking program that challenges conventional portrayals of Guam’s past by placing CHamoru voices and experiences at the heart of the island’s historical story.
“I Historia put i Hinanao i Taotao Tåno’,” which translates to “The History from the Movement of the Indigenous People,” premiered as part of the “Lumåla i Estoriå-ta: History Comes Alive” celebration and is now available on the commission’s YouTube channel and airing on the Guam Legislative Channel.
The program explores what Laura M. Torres Souder, the commission’s chair, calls “CHamoru revisionism,” an approach to telling history from the indigenous perspective rather than through the lens of colonizers or outside observers. Indigenous historiography, she explains in a recent press release from the commission, means interpreting historical events through the lived experiences and wisdom of the CHamoru people themselves.
“Our sense of identity as a colonized indigenous people has been called into question, often eroding our confidence in our sense of authenticity as a people,” Souder stated further in the release. “Who are we? The truth is, we know who we are. We are Taotao Tåno’, descendants of a wise and ancient people. The First People of this land!”
Reclaiming the narrative
The initiative represents part of a broader movement to re-examine how Guam’s history is told, moving away from what Souder calls “conventional historiography” that focuses on what outsiders did to the island, toward understanding “how were the CHamoru people experiencing different things that happened in their successive generations.”
This approach doesn’t reject the Spanish, American, or Japanese influences, Souder said. Instead, it incorporates those experiences as part of the CHamoru story.
“Our Spanish colonial history, our American colonial history, (and) the Japanese occupation is an integral part of who we are, of what we have become,” she said. “So, it’s not to segregate. We can’t segregate parts of ourselves. We can’t compartmentalize ourselves.”
The commission has already demonstrated this approach through its exhibit “The Quest for CHamoru Self-Determination” and its support for changing how historical periods are defined at the Guam Museum’s permanent exhibit.
A critical moment
The program’s launch comes at what Souder describes as a critical time for CHamoru cultural preservation. CHamorus now comprise only 34% of Guam’s population, down from nearly the entire population immediately after World War II.
“It is a critical time because once we become a minority within our homeland, it’s too late,” Souder said. “It’s too late for consciousness.”
The declining percentage, coupled with ongoing out-migration, makes efforts to promote CHamoru perspectives increasingly urgent. But Souder rejects critics who argue that centuries of colonization have somehow made CHamorus less indigenous.
“We are legitimately as CHamoru as those people who came 4,000 years ago,” she said. “But we’re different because we’ve evolved with a very, very heavy colonial overlay. But the fact that we still exist and speak our language is evidence of our legitimacy and authenticity.”
Multi-generational approach
The commission is working on multiple fronts to promote CHamoru historical consciousness. A social studies curriculum from kindergarten through fifth grade has been developed and now has funding for printing, which will introduce systematic CHamoru perspective education in public schools for the first time.
“Children are great teachers of their parents, right?” Souder said. “So, it’s going to be learning in the reverse because the kids are going to learn more about who we are and how we relate to this region and to the nations around us.”
The effort also includes academic works, creative writing, museum exhibits and multimedia programming that tells CHamoru stories “from the inside out.”
“History is a very powerful way of conveying lived experience,” Souder noted, citing works by authors like Anne Hattori, Liz Diaz, Tina DeLisle, and others who are “capturing that spirit of revisionism in their writings.”
Building broader understanding
While CHamoru revisionism focuses on indigenous perspectives, achieving CHamoru self-determination, regardless of what political status option might eventually be chosen, requires broader community understanding.
“CHamoru self-determination is not going to be achieved by CHamorus only,” she said. “We need the understanding, the consciousness, and the commitment of everybody who’s living on Guam to recognize that CHamorus are indigenous people of this land who are shrinking in their homeland, and everybody should protect (them).”
This program represents an act of cultural sovereignty, reconnecting with ancestral wisdom not just as an academic exercise, but as “a living practice that strengthens identity, builds cultural pride, and empowers future generations.”
“When we tap into our måta, the font of wisdom of our ancestors, we regain a sense of our true identity,” she said. “Interpreting and writing about our history from a CHamoru revisionist perspective constitutes an act of cultural sovereignty.”
Guam will never be as it once was. The Europeans of america who genocidally eliminated the Native American to claim a land invented a race. They call themselves “white,” or “Caucasian”(True Caucasians come from the areas around the Caucasus Mountains, which run from the Black Sea to the Caspian Sea. This includes Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Russia.) to feel entitled to do with the “non-whites” of the places they colonize as they please will eliminate the existence of the CHamorus as they did the native Americans of the US.
I am from the Caucasus. Caucasian people do not have one ethnicity. Rather, we are a group of people with almost 150 different ethnicities living in the regions around the Caucasus Mountains.
We have always found it amusing that the Europeans who colonized the US chose to claim they were Caucasians. Were they ashamed of being from European countries like Spain, Germany, England, etc? We ceased being amused when they co-opted the title “Caucasian” to mean white american, and called us the real caucasians non-white. They have since come around to allowing us to be “white” too. But we recognize them as being the genocidal colonizing racist bastards as they are.
We can see Guam becoming the next place the “caucasians” of Europe regulate the Native Guamians to the place the Native Americans have been regulated on their land.
We also understand that if the CHamorus don’t take control of their historical narrative that the “Caucasians” of america will lie about their history by regulating it to just another glorified tale of conquering a land without the bloody details.
Fuck you slant eyed motherfuckers, We rule America and if you don’t like it, too fucking bad.
This is very correct and can be seen in Trump’s request to POTUS to allow him to postpone billions of dollars in foreign aid the Congress has allocated for that purpose. He wants to freeze the money to give him an opportunity to squeeze kick-backs from those countries in the form of profit making deals for him and his family.
With the appointment of tRump judges it is becoming easier for corporation to just buy the verdict they want. Recently a judge ruled for a considerable sum that Google can keep both Android and Chrome. Let the monopolies continue at the expense of the customer. Why not if the judge can advance his wealth as his idol tRump does.
This is without a doubt the highest-profile antitrust investigation in ages, and lots of folks were expecting it to lead to Google being forced to give up its prized possessions. Appeals are bound to follow, of course, but so far, it sure seems like Money buys the decision you want.
Now we know what the Israelis wanted from the Ear. He was spotted leaving Syria yesterday. Mossad assisted his arrival and protection while he was there in exchange for his help with dealing with the Houthi who cut the undersea cables responsible for internet travel in certain parts of the Middle East and Asia.
At 05:45 UTC on 06 September 2025, network traffic traversing through the Middle East experienced increased latency due to undersea fiber cuts in the Red Sea. The cable cuts led to degraded internet connectivity in multiple countries, including #Pakistan and #India; the incident is attributed to failures affecting the SMW4 and IMEWE cable systems near Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. This was due to damage to the FALCON GCX cable, which runs through the Red Sea. Internet access outside of that geographic region wasn’t impacted.
The Ear is known to have contacts with the Houthis so Mossad is probably asking for information from his Houthi spies. They want to make some strategic assassinations to send a message to the Houthis. Presently it is unknown what he did while he was in Syria since his presence was only revealed as he was leaving.
It is suspected that he is being asked to reconsider his withdrawal from that Christian thing they had going. The Israelis are willing to take at least half of Syria to put that family on the throne and commit to an all out battle with whoever has the other half to take the whole country for the family. But so far, the Ear wants no part of it as it is his contention that the family has killed the deal.
Others who were involved think that if the Israelis can’t get this thing going again that Syria may cease to be as it was before and a wave of terror and killing is on the way.
The Ear is everywhere. We learned that he committed $1.8 billion to a project that will open a facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee to recycle spent nuclear fuel into gigawatts. That will reduce cost and establish a secure U.S. supply chain that will support the deployment of clean, reliable, and affordable power. To bring the plan to fruition, the Ear has recruited local authorities to get on board—a strategy that seems to be working.
If things proceed as planned, the facility will start recycling and producing fuel by the early 2030s. It will “unlock” the potential of more than 94,000 metric tons of stored used nuclear fuel around the country. This would produce fuel equivalent to 1.3 trillion barrels of oil, or five times the reserves of Saudi Arabia.
He seems to be racing with Musk to become the world’s first trillionaire.
Personally, I think this makes the Ear scarier than ever. Who is this Guy? He is operating under our noses. And he has enough money to fund the entire Middle East war for Israel, or anyone else he chooses to back. All the Middle East countries are paying him which keeps his pile of money growing. Someone needs to make it their priority to get this guy. I hear that Musk is starting to get advice that he should fund the next drive to get this guy.
