It's been all over the news about SolarWind being hacked. This is a huge problem, but not as huge as the media is making it out to be. And on top of all this, they are pointing the finger at Russia being behind the attack without any proof.

Because the public believes Biden/Harris will be taking the White House soon, is this their way of starting a war with Russia? Lord knows they've wanted one for so long, but it didn't happen with Trump as POTUS; he was striving for peace.


Here is a list of all the companies SolarWind does business with: SolarWind Customers Partial List

This is not the first report of inflated numbers for COVID deaths as anyone who has been looking can clearly see IMO. Trump, Ben Carson, and Rudy Giuliani all seem to still be alive and there is not a young spring chicken among the bunch . Also where are all the Flu deaths people see every year throughout the world ? Anyway believe what you will but I do think there is something rotten in the whole way the numbers are tallied. Yep COVID equals government money for the hospitals but there has to be more to the grand plan, me thinks...

Quote:A coroner in Colorado is sounding the alarm over how deaths in her county are being counted and attributed to Wuhan coronavirus.
"The coroner, Brenda Bock, says two of their five deaths related to COVID-19 were people who died of gunshot wounds," CBS News Denver reports. "Bock says because they tested positive for COVID-19 within the past 30 days, they were classified as 'deaths among cases.'"
Bock is calling the classification "absurd" and raises concerns death classifications are falsely driving the narrative about the direction of the pandemic. Health officials in the state say they're simply following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control on how to classify deaths of individuals from and with the virus.

Michael Hastings’ Inferno
 
The following is a synopsis of a mystery that grabbed me by the crosshairs.
 
It poses the question: Was Michael Hastings a victim of “that’s life” –or– _ Fill in the blank _ …?

I was only tangentially aware of Michael Hastings prior to his death…with said awareness coming with the unexpected resignation of General Stanley McChrystal a few years earlier.
Upon seeing a thread (originated by GrantedBail on ATS), the evening of June 18, 2013, my initial interest piqued at the apparent absurdity of the surface story.

Later, after substantial investments of time & effort (into fleshing facts from the data that was gradually made available), and ultimately, when finding that no more information would be forthcoming…I was left…wanting……another look.

And now that this story has been frequently referenced regarding the recent tragic death of the young man (Harrison Deal) in Georgia who was a member of the reelection campaign for Senator Kelly Loeffler (and who, reportedly, had dated / or was dating Governor Kemp’s daughter), I hope a rehash of this unresolved* mystery might be of interest to you, as well.

IMO – this was a botched investigation by the LAPD.
I have no personal qualms with the LAPD…
No vendetta or axe to grind… EXCEPT, perhaps …as regards this case.

I can understand coming upon such a scene…not knowing ‘who’ or ‘any context’…just – “Too Fast – (for some reason – which was quickly explained with – “prescription marijuana card”) and out of control” – and then, all suspicions confirmed when interviewing a brother who had just come to town with the intent of convincing the (now)-deceased into rehab… … …

I do not hold the fact that their initial assessment was “Wrong” (“No Foul Play – SO – nothing to investigate!”)…against them.

But – after peripheral circumstances and subsequent facts (that did not jive with said “assessment”) came to light…they chose to “gamble” on the initial conclusion, rather than launch a legitimate investigation into the matter…

And THIS (IMO) highlights a traitorous disregard for their office & oath, and…in most honor-laden circles…would count as dereliction of duty & gross negligence.

If you are not aware, there were numerous threads (on ATS) regarding this ‘mystery’… (you can contact me by private message for a list, if so inclined)

Binge-watching. . . that is.

Just watched the final episode of the Mandalorian season2, watchiung the first episode of "The Stand", waiting for the second episode and continual episodes on Thursdays and started in on "Picard".

I've got 10 days off, have actually silenced my phones and am going to try to relax after this nightmare year.

I actually had off yesterday afternoon but like today, I keep getting calls.

No rest for the wicked.

HI, we have some Cryptid threads going on and I my husband watches this you-tuber.
Here is a couple from his channel.
 
Maybe once our Australian members come around, they'll have something to say.

In trying to think of ways to increase vaccine uptake, they've come up with: 

"Transform individual vaccination decisions into a public act."

Yeah, I'm trying to picture that.   You're in your doctor's office.   Someone asks you in Reception or the Lobby....."are you getting a vaccine" or "have you had a vaccine?"  And then everyone either cheers or boos you based on your compliance/noncompliance?  What?  How could they possibly imagine implementing this?

Well, little do they know that some of us are die-hard introverts who put about as much importance on the mob's opinion as they do ...wait.  I started to say "brand of toothpaste" but actually can't come up with something I care about less.   This would simply make me sneer and ask for my scarlet V to display on my clothing.

Hi good Rogue people'

Little story here and I will post a pic when 'true love' comes home.

So 'truey' (missus) and son (child No. 7.) headed into the 'big smoke' (town) for some shopping and xmas prezzies.  Me, I went to work this morning and did what I could.  Came home. Raining heavily in our neck of the woods.  So I'm back at home and truey (before they leave)  asked if I'd like to join her and number '7' .  I says, "Yeah,,,, Nah."  Stayed at home.  There was the biggest mob of alcoholic beverages to be had.  Kinda like a 'licorice all sorts'. 

I was instructed by 'true love' to do 'stuff'.  "Sure" I answered.  I got that terrible laser type one-eyed look.  I gave the fridge a glance.

In my mind, the left side of my left over brain was sounding alarms, not bells, but that song "Yoo-Hoo.".

'7' is the last of our children to remain at home.  He and 'true love drove' off to the 'verbotin regions' (town) to do shopping.

"YES"  time to myself. 

So I get's myself together after a couple of 'Cougar' bourbons.  A break in the rain.  Starts picking up recent pruning from the citrus, apple and pear trees, stacks them on the spit fire pit, (nothin like aged fruit tree pruning's for a good spit roast.).  'Great';  Cracks a frothie.

Goes to "Timmy".  'Timmy' is my tractor.  Not a flash one.  Old.  2 cylinder diesel Italian (SAME) job. Fuels him up. Grabs my frothie and a rollie.  Lights us both up.  Sets the 'slasher' and away we go.  The 'slasher' is set to cutting low and starts taking out a corridor of high grass growing from the recent heavy rains.  I drive from one paddock to the next and navigate my way through a couple of left over old burnt fence posts (Lat years fire) and engage the throttle.  Off we go 'Timmy' (my name for the tractor). me, beer and rollie in the rain.  We're cuttin mate!   Doin a job for 'true love'. She'll be proud.  

I rounds the back yard to start my first run up to the house then down. I starts drinking a bottle. And 'choofin' a rollie (tobacco).  No need for hands, the throttle is set.

The passing scenery stopped while the engine revved at 2 and a half.  Slasher sent mud everywhere and sloppy slush from the rear tyres  started falling about like spray.  I shuts down to idle.  Thinks,,,'I'm obviously bogged'.  Sure enough I'm sunk.  I survey the situation.  Chucks back another gulp.  Looking.  Looking.  "What's that there stupid?" (Goes through my mind).  It's the wheel from the front left of 'Timmy' lying in the mud to, of all places, my right side.

"Crikey, Strewth, Goddammit" Try to do the right thing and shit happens.  So to cut a longer story short I spent about an hour trying to resolve the situ.  Rain started pissing down.  Nup, up to the house to think this whole incident over.  I came to the conclusion hat I'll leave the 'crime scene' where it is,  Leastways 'truey' will believe me.  

As if, on cue, the phone rings.  Yes, it's 'truey'.  She asks,"be home in about 2 hours, anything you want?"  I answered, "Yeah,,, nah but I could do with a new tractor, Timmy is sunk, lost a wheel mate."

I explained what happened, the tragic circumstances and why I can't do nothin because of the massive epic torrential down pour I'm experiencing.  Did the old sadness thing.

Truey asks concerned, " Are you alright mate, I know you love 'Timmy'.'

I replied,"yeah,,,nah...but I could with another bottle of 'cougar', I'm devastated honey bunny."

"No wukkers pookie poo.  Hang in there."  (Gotta love truey)

So, here I sit pouring out this story, chucking back frothies and choofin on my rollie tobacco.  

My 'Oscar' performance is to come.

I will send pics of the 'crime scene' when 'true love' comes home.  She has the iPhone.  I'll point, saying, "Look. look, here. Get a pic of that"  Laying on the bullshit drama of it all.


More to come,

Kindest regards,

Full title: Russia’s massive offshore Arctic oil & gas discovery could dwarf Gulf of Mexico & Middle East’s energy reserves

Some of us have read about the asset movements into the arctic to include new ice breakers being built and military assets being deployed..I would assume Russia is very pleased with this huge discovery .. All I can say is I am glad I will not be working on a rig somewhere in the arctic !

Quote:Russian energy giant Rosneft has announced the discovery of a “unique” gas deposit in the Kara Sea containing an estimated 514 billion cubic meters of natural gas.
The company says the discovery could establish a new cluster for oil and gas production in the area.
The field, which has been named after Soviet Marshal Konstantin Rokossovsky, is Rosneft’s third discovery in the Arctic. It is part of the company’s drilling campaign to develop the region’s oil and gas potential.
The project was started by President Vladimir Putin in 2014. It has resulted in the discovery of one of the world’s largest oil and gas fields, the Pobeda field. Its total recoverable reserves stand at some 130 million tons of oil and 422 billion cubic meters of gas.

The second discovered field, with an estimated 800 billion cubic meters of gas deposits, was named after Marshal Georgy Zhukov.
Overall, more than 30 “prospective structures” were identified in the three areas of the Kara Sea, according to Rosneft.
It said the results of the drilling prove “the discovery of a new Kara offshore oil province,” adding that “In terms of resources, it could surpass such oil and gas-bearing provinces as the Gulf of Mexico, the Brazilian shelf, the Arctic shelf of Alaska and Canada, and the major provinces of the Middle East.”

I have come to realize that pet owners become very, very, very attached to their four legged friend/family.

I am subscribed to this Youtube Channel and he had a quest that made me think of all of you.
I hope you enjoy this interview with Rob Gutro an author and psychic medium for animals.
