Thankfully, I'm confident that the deluded folks in Qanon BADeckerland are the minority, albeit they are extremely noisy on the interwebs, (especially on forums like this one) giving the appearance that these uneducated deluded idiots are more common than they really are. They live in a reality bubble getting all their news from Newsmax, Fox News and various disinformation websites that supports their narrative, and tells them everything they want to hear. My godswiller bible thumping Bud, BADecker laps it up, eats out of their hand and regurgitates all their nonsense on this forum. I'm not sure if he is just a paid troll, or seriously demented or both. Probably the latter.
He loves to hang out on this board and create ridiculous threads full of complete debunked rubbish, that's for sure. But then again, what do you expect from a bible thumping evolution denying moron.
For whatever reason these right wingnuts feel a need to broadcast their deluded beliefs to the world, like flying ridiculous flapping giant flags out of the back of pick up trucks or some such silly thing.
I'm a middle of the road type and I don't feel the need the spout my politics in public except here, because well this is where the Badeckerland crazies hangout and I love to push their buttons.

Even though I respect your personal opinion on some groups of people which many let their opinions to be known on the internet. I think it would be a mistake to underestimate the number of extremism who currently live in the United States, not only from the right side of the spectrum, but both.

I have got the impression the media has taken the mission to further radicalize people in that country and strech their view further to the extremes, maybe in the past our lil friend here in this board was a quite reasonable conservative person, and like him, many has fallen into the trap of propaganda and disinformation.

It could happen to anyone of us, to be honest. We are not supposed to imply he lacks of intelligence, even clever people end up trapped into cults...

Not being in the US, odds are that you won't be trapped into the Biden cult directly. But it sounds like you are trapped in its counterpart in your country already.

What do you folks have against the 'freedom' 'cult'? Biden and the Dems are using their freedom to enslave you... and anybody they can get away with enslaving. That's not freedom. That's a form of Dictatorship. True freedom is freedom to have all the freedom you want as long as it doesn't take away from the freedom of anyone else. What they are doing is taking away my freedom to travel. Look at the price of gasoline they have caused.

There are always going to be some extenuating circumstances. These might include rape cases, and cases where the mother's life is in danger. But in general...

If there was sex outside of marriage, and if there is going to be an abortion, don't wait for the abortion. Rather, execute the mother and father for having sex outside of marriage.

The major alternative to this would be that the mother and father get married and raise the child right. Other alternatives might be:
1. That there is a man willing to marry the woman, and raise the child in the absence of the father;
2. That the parents of the woman (or any other responsible married couple) agree to support the woman.and the child until the child is 18;
3. Other points would be similar to these.

But if there is going to be an abortion, take the mother's and father's lives right along with the baby/fetus/embryo... especially in the case of sex outside of marriage.

Are you aware that there have been attacks and counterattacks in the area for the last 16 months? There is no combat inside the city itself, the artillery has been there for quite a while and Ukrainians are pressing on the north and south to avoid direct urban conflict.

Currently we are destroying any chance of recovery from the coming ice-age, simply because we are adding to it with all our global warming and climate change correction attempts. Ice-age warnings have been sent out since ... ages ago.

The original hard-covered science-fiction book "Fallen Angels" by Larry Niven, talked about the coming ice-age in a science-fiction format. But at the end of the book was listed a great big bibliography of all kinds of scientists who showed why the ice-age is coming.


Solar researcher warns of solar activity decrease, imminent MINI ICE AGE and GLOBAL FAMINE by 2030



https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-10-06-researcher-warns-mini-ice-age-famine-by-2030.html
A Ukrainian solar researcher with a solid academic background has been warning about a dangerous phenomenon that could lead to dramatic climate and weather changes as well as global cooling for years now. Her studies have become controversial over the years because she blames climate changes on the sun's activity and not anything carbon dioxide-related.

In a 2019 interview with the award-winning Canadian journalist Stuart McNish on his program "Conversations That Matter," Valentina Zharkova, who authored world-leading research as well as numerous groundbreaking publications, explained that they have been observing signs that since 2015, solar activity has been decreasing in a manner only seen during the Grand Solar Minimum, which last occurred during the Maunder Minimum, also known as the "prolonged sunspot minimum," 400 years ago.

She cited National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and other research organizations have noted this trend in various ways but hid the information from the public. According to her, the significantly reduced solar activity will inevitably lead to dramatic climate and weather changes such as a massive global cooling that could be likened to a mini ice age. (Related: NO WARMING AT ALL: Global COOLING continues for eighth straight year, according to NOAA data.)

"Between cycle 25 and 11 years of cycle 26 [the least active cycle], and between cycle 26 and 27, will be the coldest period on Earth, and we will feel it through a lack of vegetation," the researcher and lecturer with a doctorate in astrophysics said. This means that starting after the active period during the 'Solar Cycle 25,' from the second half of this decade until the early 2050s, Earth will experience exceptional cold, extreme weather, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions. Zharkova pointed to 2030 as the year when it will seriously begin, warning that the 2030s will be so cold that it will result in a severe food shortage.

It's part of the reason why fusion reactors are taking so long to be developed. With small fusion reactors powering everything, there would be a whole lot of freedom for the people, and dependence on oil would be almost eliminated, because fusion energy could develop economically feasible bio-based products to take the place of oil produced plastics, etc.

Regarding common people everywhere, but mostly the USA, if they weren't so ignorant, they would realize that they don't really need a national government, and that the only government they need is a tiny, local one to organize them to protect themselves against local, petty crooks. The bigger the government gets, the more crooked it gets. All you need do is look at Biden's regime and inflation.

But if the United States was divided into local governance and the federal government was abolished, would not that essentially mean to put an end on the existence of the country? The USA would not be a big country anymore, but rather a collection of small Republics next to each other, trying to do commerce and with a shared currency.

How local or tiny those jurisdictions would be? State level or county Level?

I would not even know how taxation would work anymore, by the way.

If you are asking for details about how this would work, the US Constitution wasn't figured out and ratified by only one or two people, or in a matter of a few hours. Even though it was only one guy who actually drew it up, there were many people adding their two cents worth to make it what it finally became. The details of how to apply the tenets of the US Constitution to all the State Constitutions is something that a lot of people would have to work out. The results (we would hope) would be to eliminate the Federal Government, but keep the spirit of freedom, and the alignment between the States.

Jurisdiction size could be what you said, "State level or county Level," plus city level in some cases. But, the State would be over their State in some ways governments within the State wouldn't have power. Part of the whole idea would be to eliminate much State power over the people directly. Freedom to the people.

There are many different kind of taxes in the American States right now. If you are talking income tax, there are 9 States, right now, that have no income tax. The others base their income taxes on the IRS tax. These others would simply have to change a tiny bit, and do their own tax calculation, or drop the income tax altogether.

Ukraine ‘very cheap way’ to fight Russia, NATO state claims

Arming Kiev is a cost-effective way of preventing Moscow from threatening NATO, Dutch Defense Minister Kajsa Ollongren said on Wednesday at the Warsaw Security Forum.

(Article republished from RT.com)

Ollongren was asked whether the US and its allies can continue supporting Ukraine “for as long as it takes,” given the political in-fighting in Washington.

“We cannot pretend that we’ll just wait and see how the American elections are going,” she said. “Because they have the same interest, in a way. Of course, supporting Ukraine is a very cheap way to make sure that Russia with this regime is not a threat to the NATO alliance. And it’s vital to continue that support.”

“It is very much in our interest to support Ukraine, because they are fighting this war, we are not fighting it,” Ollongren noted, while admitting that NATO has “skin in the game.”

Ollongren explained that she had recently visited the US and that political developments there are cause for concern, but that Western Europeans need to talk with their American colleagues and persuade them to stay the course.

Putin warns that when Russia nukes America “there is no chance of survival” and “there will be no single enemy left”



https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-10-06-putin-warns-america-no-chance-of-survival.html
The Russians are feverishly preparing to fight a nuclear war, but our leaders continue to insist that nuclear war is not a threat because the Russians would never use their nuclear weapons against us no matter how much we may provoke them.  In fact, I was just reading an article on the official NATO website that was authored by a former U.S. defense official in which he openly admitted that he is assuming “that the war in Ukraine will end without Russian nuclear use”.  Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin continues to make public statements about nuking America.  This week, he told the entire world that there will be “no chance of survival” once he launches his nuclear missiles at us…

(Article republished from EndOfTheAmericanDream.com)

    President Vladimir Putin has threatened the West with total nuclear destruction leaving ‘no chance of survival’ in the event of a strike on Russia.

    In a ranting anti-US speech, the dictator said his powerful ‘Satan-2’ and ‘Flying Chernobyl’ missiles are ready for deployment in an ominous doomsday warning.

    Putin told a conference in Sochi: ‘From the moment the launch of missiles is detected, no matter where it comes from – from any point of the world ocean or from any territory – such a number, so many hundreds of our missiles appear in the air in a retaliatory strike that there is no chance of survival there will be no single enemy left, and in several directions at once.’


I don’t know why our leaders are not taking such statements seriously.

If the Russians feel backed into a corner, they will not hesitate to use their most powerful weapons.

As I have repeatedly warned my readers, we do not have the ability to intercept and destroy Russian nuclear missiles.

Once the Russians launch their missiles, they will hit their targets.

And now the Sarmat is ready.  It is the most advanced intercontinental missile in the entire world by a very wide margin, and Putin says that the Sarmat will be put on combat duty “in the near future”…

    He also claimed: ‘We have actually finished work on Sarmat [Satan-2] on the super-heavy missile…’

    This ‘unstoppable’ 15,880mph Armageddon intercontinental missile system is the size of a 14-storey tower block.

    ‘We just need to finish some of the procedures in a purely administrative and bureaucratic way and move on to mass production and putting them on combat duty,’ Putin said.

    ‘And we will do this in the near future.’


Meanwhile, hopelessly outdated Minuteman missiles that went into service in the 1970s still form the backbone of our strategic nuclear arsenal.

The threat that Putin is exhibiting might have a flaw. Does the US or another country have armament that can track and shoot down Russian missiles? If this is the case, a Russian nuclear war might be an impossible thing. But, a cruise missile is a very small target to hit... especially one with nuclear-powered speed.


Putin claims successful test of nuclear-powered ‘global-range’ cruise missile for 1st time



https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-10-06-putin-nuclear-powered-global-range-cruise-missile.html
Each year, Russian President Vladimir Putin uses the occasion of the Valdai Discussion Club hosted in Sochi to present on a wide range of foreign policy issues in an off the cuff manner, which most often comes out in Q&A format. He did the same Thursday at this year's Valdai event, and one of the statements which is grabbing the attention of Western officials was related to testing nuclear weapons, at a sensitive moment where the last nuclear weapons treaty with Washington is set to fail.

(Article by Tyler Durden republished from ZeroHedge.com)

"I think no person of sound mind and clear memory would think of using nuclear weapons against Russia," Putin began in that segment of a speech before Russian foreign policy officials. That's when he made a statement being widely perceived as signaling openness to resumption of nuclear testing:

   "I hear calls to start testing nuclear weapons, to return to testing," he added. "I am not ready to say whether we really need to conduct tests or not."

He also raised eyebrows in immediately touting completed work on the Burevestnik cruise missile and the Sarmat heavy intercontinental ballistic missile, with the former being identified as a nuclear-powered cruise missile.

"We conducted the last successful test of the Burevestnik nuclear-powered global-range cruise missile," he said. This weapon hasn't been publicly mentioned by Putin since 2018, and suddenly he's revealed it's been successfully tested.

Code-named Skyfall by NATO, the consensus among Western analysts has long been that the technology is likely too hard to achieve given unreliability and volatility of such a nuclear propulsion engine. On the deep significance of the 'threat' to possibly put the Burevestnik on combat readiness, Mario Nawfal comments:

Putin says it is Russia’s mission to create a “new world” free from American hegemony



https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-10-06-putin-russia-mission-create-new-world.html
Russian President Vladimir Putin said it is his country's mission to create a "new world."

Putin made this statement on Thursday, Oct. 5, during the annual summit of the Russian think tank the Valdai Discussion Club in the Black Sea resort town of Sochi. "We are, in fact, faced with the task of building a new world," he said.

He further claimed that the United States and the rest of the Western world have spurned Moscow's "goodwill" and efforts to build a "new and fairer world order" after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, including by rebuffing the newly established Russian Federation's proposal to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, which he said has raised the risk of global war. (Related: Putin accuses U.K. of training Ukrainian saboteurs to disrupt Russian nuclear plants.)

"Our readiness for constructive interaction was misunderstood by some as submission, as an agreement that the new order will be built by those who proclaimed themselves the winners of the Cold War," said Putin. "All these years we have repeatedly warned that this approach not only leads to a dead end but is fraught with the growing threat of military conflict."

"But no one was going to listen to us, no one wanted to hear us," he added. "The arrogance of our so-called partners in the West was simply off the charts."

Putin claims Russia did not start the conflict in Ukraine

In his speech during the Valdai Discussion Club, Putin also pointed out that the Russian special military operation in Ukraine is all about finishing the conflict that the U.S. started back in 2014 at the beginning of the Washington-supported Ukrainian Maidan Revolution.

"We did not start the so-called war in Ukraine. On the contrary, we are trying to finish it," he said. Putin added that the nearly decade-long conflict in Ukraine was started by the U.S. because it wanted to be a "hegemon" over Eastern Europe and because the country saw itself as the only arbiter of truth on the planet.

Did Nancy Pelosi’s head of security PERJURE HIMSELF with a LIE about Jan. 6?



https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-10-06-nancy-pelosi-head-security-perjury-january-6.html
The United States Capitol Police officer assigned as the head of security for former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been accused of perjury after allegedly giving false testimony during one of the trials against the Oath Keepers organization.

U.S. Capitol Police Special Agent David Lazarus, a member of Pelosi's security detail, testified during one trial that he passed by Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn engaging with four Oath Keepers "three or four times" while he was evacuating Pelosi's staffers who were allegedly trapped in a locked office in her chambers.

Lazarus then went on to testify that he supposedly observed Dunn "arguing" with so-called rioters and that during his exchange, he saw an opening to "rescue" around a dozen of Pelosi's trapped staffers.

Lazarus further claimed to have several "antagonistic" interactions with Jan. 6 protesters. When he was shown a short cellphone clip of four Oath Keepers, Lazarus positively identified them as the individuals he observed who were being antagonistic toward him and Dunn.

"The problem with Lazarus' testimony about this significant event is that, according to direct video evidence the jury never saw, it never happened," wrote investigative reporter Steve Baker for The Blaze.

Baker explained that this video "appears to prove conclusively" that Lazarus was actually not with Dunn during the events he described but was actually in the lower tunnels that lead to the Senate office buildings escorting senators and their staff away from the Capitol.

"By analyzing the footage from multiple CCTV cameras and comparing the timelines associated with Officer Dunn's actual interaction on camera with the Oath Keepers, it is clear that Lazarus did not arrive [at the area] until three and a half minutes after the last of the Oath Keepers had left the area and were exiting the Capitol building," wrote Baker.

Lazarus' false testimony led to lengthy prison sentences for at least four Oath Keepers

Ukraine "Corrupt At All Levels" - Says Former EU Commission Chief Juncker

He also chastised current European officials for giving Ukrainians "false promises" over the future of their EU candidacy, saying that being admitted to the bloc would be "neither good for the EU nor for Ukraine."

"Anyone who has had anything to do with Ukraine knows that this is a country that is corrupt at all levels of society. Despite its efforts, it is not ready for accession; it needs massive internal reform processes," he said.

"You shouldn't make false promises to the people in Ukraine who are up to their necks in suffering," he explained. Juncker further emphasized, "I am very angry about some voices in Europe who are telling Ukrainians that they can become members immediately."

The reform process and waves of European law packages countries are expected to adopt before they can hope to enter typically takes years or realistically over a decade.

Ukraine has long ranked as the most corrupt country in Europe and among the top in the world. US and European media have increasingly acknowledged this of late, and Juncker's sudden boldness could be due to the general increase in press coverage of the issue.

Earlier this week, Ukrainian lawmaker Yaroslav Zheleznyak, first deputy chairman of the parliament committee on finance, admitted that corruption is a major issue which has played a part in the withholding of external aid, also in the wake of successful GOP-led efforts in Congress to strip Ukraine defense aid out of the stopgap bill.

"The biggest (public) complaint about us is corruption," Zheleznyak conceded in a Sunday social media post. "We have to go through these 45 days without a major corruption scandal," he stated. This comes even after Zelensky in the last two months fired a range of top officials, including his longtime defense minister and a half-dozen other top defense officials.

Israel's "Pearl Harbor Moment"? Hundreds Dead, Horrifying Scenes Of Entire Families Killed - https://www.freedomsphoenix.com/News/351845-2023-10-07-israels-pearl-harbor-moment-hundreds-dead-horrifying-scenes-of-entire.htm

"The entire system failed. It's not just one component. It's the entire defense architecture that evidently failed to provide the necessary defense for Israeli civilians," he told CNN of the surprise invasion from Gaza militants. "This is a Pearl Harbor type of moment for Israel, where there was reality up until today, and then there will be reality after today."

Town-by-town and farm-by-farm fighting is still underway given Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) reportedly control swathes of southern territory and even military outposts in Israel.

You jokers are missing it. You are trying to bring in socialism and maybe communism. And maybe you don't even know it.

Consider. Grandma has an old picture, in reasonable shape, of her wedding to Grandpa, who has passed on some time ago. She is getting kinda old, and is making mistakes in her memory at times. Her kids are in the process of cleaning up her belongings... getting rid of any non-essentials.

The kids come to the picture, and they want to sell it at an auction along with a lot of Grandma's property. They put a value of $5 on the picture. But Grandma wouldn't sell that picture for $10 million.

Who cares what other people think about the value of your property. It's your property, and you can put a value on it that suits you.

Granted, Trump doesn't understand the basics of law in the US. If he did, he would have hired his attorneys as advisors, rather than to speak on his behalf in court. But the point is, he has a right to value his property at any amount he desires... because it is his property. If the whole world says the value is different than Trump says, they don't have the right to change the value of it regarding what Trump says, because it is Trump's property. He has placed the value to be what it is worth to him.

Suppose Trump decided to sell some property that he had given a high value in the eyes of the world. Nobody would buy it from him at that value. He would have to drop the value of it before they would even consider buying it. But that isn't what he was doing. So, he has the right to value it any way he likes.

Since the court is taking away Trump's right to freely say things like this, he's losing things. But it's about him not realizing what the basic rights are in America.

Consider yourselves and your property. You probably wouldn't part with some of your property at just about any price. The precedent that is being set is that government and appraisers can value your property no matter what it is, and for any reason. This kind of precedent is bringing us into socialism and communism. You don't own your property as much as you did before if somebody else can force you to value it like they think.

You jokers are losing it... the American Dream, that is.

'Part of the authoritarian playbook': Trump’s courthouse rant slammed by fascism scholars

https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/part-of-the-authoritarian-playbook-trump-s-courthouse-rant-slammed-by-fascism-scholars/ar-AA1hAgl0
Trump told reporters Monday the New York fraud case “is a continuation of the single greatest witch hunt of all time.” He described Justice Arthur Engoron as a “rogue judge” and Attorney General James as a “racist attorney general” and a “horror show,” and the case against him “a scam” and “a sham.”
Ruth Ben-Ghiat, a New York University professor of history and Italian studies, responded to Trump’s remarks, saying “the witch hunt/victimhood rhetoric is part of the authoritarian playbook and was/is used by the following corrupt leaders: Mussolini, Hitler, Berlusconi, Erdogan. If extended to the whole country being victimized, add Putin, Xi, and more.”



Donald Trump Isn’t Even Trying to Hide His Authoritarian Plans for a Second Term
...










You are looking at it backwards or from a skewed viewpoint. Somebody simply put to words what Trump has been doing all along. Trumps authoritarian plans can be summed up by simply saying... Trump's authoritarian plans are to make America the economic authority in the world. It's called MAGA. It's what he has been doing all along.

Dems and the Elite, who are trying to take over the world, have been DOING their authoritarian plans long before Biden got in. And all it has been doing is to make America weak. They should wear blue hats with MAW written across them... Make America Weak, just to show where they really stand.

Sure, it will disrupt the money making schemes of the Elite who want to rape America for all they can get, and take over the world to boot. But it's time that those jokers were taken out of power so that Americans can have a strong nation again.

So, it's UP with Trump's good authoritarianism which will take down the Dems' bad authoritarianism. That's the way it should be.

And thanks for helping to bring things like this out into the open.

Hillary Clinton Comes Out of the Closet and Goes Full Communist



https://www.lewrockwell.com/lrc-blog/hillary-clinton-comes-out-of-the-closet-and-goes-full-communist/
By advocating a "formal deprogramming" of all the Trump voters, as she said in a public speech recently that is all over the internet.  Communist brainwashing re-education camps are what we need if Hillary Clinton is ever to become president, apparently. But wait, we already have them!  They're called "universities."
