  • Plane will he checked inside out as the if plane if meant to be used as Air Force One. Then it must be heavily modified by the State Dept., the Air Force and Boeing.

    So, no, if there are mics, then they will find them. Mics are not magical, stealth creatures and the State Dept. is not some mom and pop corner tech store.

    Worth noting, this plane is about 13 years old. The two current planes that serve as Air Force One, as needed. began their role in 1990.






  • As a Canadian I can tell you that politically everything wrong, or almost all wrong with the country is literally the Liberal Party’s fault. They have been in power for a decade, already.

    All, or almost all of their policies have made the country worse. It is easy for idealogues out there to blame the conservatives but in reality the Libs pushed for all the things that broke the country.

    From extreme immigration that increased crime, El Salvador is now safer than Toronto, to the price of housing, to making drugs more accessible via their Safe Supply program. That sounds good in make believe land but horrible in practice.

    Which saved more “users’ lives” at the cost of increasing the number of overall drug addicts, everywhere. Same happened in Seattle and Cali, as well as in Portugal where this whole scheme was copied from.

    You can tell by seeing the ratio increase of users and deaths in the provinces that pushed for this policy over the ones that didn’t.

    Can’t even really blame the conservatives as the Libs and the NDP --which was Lefty but devolved to being Lib-Lite- created a collation as to bypass their vote in most cases. So they passed a lot of stuff easily and mostly on their own.

    It is a mistake to not blame the Liberal party only because they have the word “Liberal” in their name. Trudeau alone was found guilty of 4 ethic violations, one including his family, so just straight up corruption. So, yes, we could blame the bad Covid handling and the NDP as well, if we want to nickpick. With the later now a shadow of its former self. The NDP leader sold out the party and the government, so he could be eligible for his fat government pension. He announced his retirement immediately after and lost his riding just after that. They got destroyed in the recent election, too.

    Carney has already been got caught lying, a few times, saying one thing to English speakers and the 180° opposite to French speakers regarding infrastructure projects because he needed their votes and he just recycled a ton of the same people in government. There are other examples.

    He ran as being an outsider when anyone with eyes knows that he is not. He is even the godfather of one of the kids of Freeland, the previous Deputy PM AND Finance Minister (who is now the Transportation Minister under him) who quit the job, the morning she was supposed to table their budget that was over $20 Billion over the number they had stated before, because she is a coward and was looking after her career first, along with 0 sense of real accountability. She quitting put us in a constitutional crisis and we went through not 1, not 2, not 3 but 4 Finance ministers in 14-16 hours, including her. Then she ran for the leader of the Liberal party before losing to Carney, but as stated she is in the new Cabinet anyway.

    We literally applauded an ex-Nazi SS soldier in parliament because the Libs wanted PR points and come off as pro-Ukraine but did 0 vetting on the guy. This was supposed to be done by the office of the PM. They are that incompetent and threw another guy, the Speaker of the House under the bus and forced him to quit, as to save face. Fucking embarrassing.

    Their biggest selling point was, “we are not Conservatives.” Which is funny as the Libs literally copied a bunch of Con campaign/platform promises, rebranded them, and sold them as theirs. I am not a conservative but holy shit the Libs are so incompetent. Not really positive about the new guy, either. Once you get past the new paint job, it is just more of the same. He became the Leader of the Libs by decree of the party and paid about $250,000 to run, as he was never elected by anyone in the public or held a riding. Which is a first in our system.

    He just got inserted. That is not very Liberal nor democratic.

    The loss of Liberties was all Liberal policy too. They fear monger people and then remove liberties for “our” protection, of course. It is sad to see the country go down this fast.






  • Yeah, I find this drive towards a 1984 dystopia concerning. Given that it comes equally from both, Right-wing and Left-wing governments. The UK is going insane and they lean right, and so is Germany and they lean very Left. Spain leans very left and look at what they are doing. Also, I sit corrected and it is not the president of Spain but the Prime Minister of Spain --which is worse-- as per my Telesur link regarding the WEF, people can still find the clip of his speech if they are interested.

    I will update my previous post and correct myself, either way, he is a literal Socialist and he is the one that wants to eliminate online anonymity… For your protection, of course. ;-) LOL

    Up here in Canada, the Liberal government passed amendments to 2 Laws during the pandemic, when they pushed for bogus Emergency Powers, just for a couple of days in which they sneaked these changes, that allows them to freeze people’s banks accounts on almost a whim, some people got their bank accounts frozen because they donated to a group that the Liberals did not like, despite not doing anything illegal. It was due to just wrong think.

    It is insane but still most Canadians are not aware of these changes because the news media barely covered it. I happen to follow politics closely and read Bills and law for fun, so I know about them but I have yet to meet an average Canadian who is aware of this, unless they are into politics or study political science or something akin to it.

    I mean, I have lived in 3rd world countries with better legal protections than what Canada is turning into under the Liberal party. I say that as someone who leans Left.





  • Funny enough, you are looking at the countries with the most homogeneity and lesser levels of multiculturalism per capita. In this case the most white countries, like Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Switzerland, Luxembourg, et al.
    They all have what you are looking for. However, many of there are either fairly expensive, have less than optimal weather or have fairly strict laws, unless you are an EU member or want to ask for asylum, political or otherwise.

    Like other have mentioned, at a recent WEF meeting, at DAVOS earlier in the year, the President of Spain stated that he wanted to ban encryption, or have access to encrypted services… Why? For your protection, obviously. Do a search on Youtube and you will find the video. Keep in mind the presentation is fairly long. You may be able to find a clip of it.

    The UK and Germany have gone down the drain when it comes to privacy laws and they are heading straight into Big Brother or 1984 territory. No joke. So those should be avoided.

    Like other have said, Uruguay and Argentina are pretty good options albeit both Argentina and Chile are not doing too well economically for now. But I do have a friend who is moving to Argentina, albeit he is fluent in Spanish so for him it won’t be hard.

    Other possible options are Australia but if you think owning a home is hard in the USA, then you have seen nothing yet in Australia. New Zealand is also a good option, too although like some other countries at the top of the list, moving there can be a tad difficult Re: Red tape, albeit it is a bit easier if you are part of the Common Wealth, which I assume you are not.

    Correction: Not the Spanish President, but the Spanish Prime Minister. as my links below. My bad.


  • There is a fascinating documentary called The Lobby that goes undercover and exposes Israel’s extremely underhanded and insidious attempts to infiltrate and manipulate UK politics and goverment via funding NGOs and ‘grassroot’ groups.

    Once it came it came out, Israel cried antisemitism, like they always do for every thing, real or not. Which lead to an almost 6 month investigation that proved the Doc to not only be Legit but also an awesome modern example of investigate reporting and journalism. But due to this delay many people never heard of it.

    Once the Doc was vindicated, Israel did a sudden but fully expected 180° and apologised, then dropped the matter, as if it had never happened. Some people were recalled back to Israel, other lost their jobs or resigned, including at least one UK MP.

    There is The Lobby II which deals with the same issues but in the US.


  • Not dirt. Most media I have seen, including social media go out of their way to obfuscate his story as to try to make him sound more like a saint. He has only had a one kid, with his wife who he married after he got her pregnant, it does not stop the media to claim that he is a father of 3. The other two kids are hers, from a previous marriage. Details matter. Or that he was arrested along with other ranking M13 members, hanging out with them, out of his own free will and agency. Apparently he even had a gang nickname, ‘Chele,’ which translates to “whitey” or “light skinned,” as per their source and that he had a M13 rank. The other two were well know criminals and gang members with one having an extensive criminal history. They were wearing visual queues to the “hear no evil, see no evil, say no evil” gang ‘motto’ of sorts. Which is part of their 0 snitch/or else, code.

    The fourth guy was not M13 as far as the cops could ascertain. But in case you do not know, M13 members only hangout with other M13 members or prospect members, socially in this manner.

    That part I only found once I got a hold of his arrest file, which described his arrest outside the parking lot of a Home Depot. They saw the cops coming. One of the M13 memberd was wanted in connection with a murder investigation. Never saw that reported on MSNBC or CNN at the beginning. How convinient. As details matter.

    He seemed to be alright hanging out with them. He also had traffic violations where he said he failed to make the hearings because he didn’t know about them. Right. Despite he admitting in writing that he knew about them but decided to not do anything about them. He also stated that he was NOT scared of being sent back to El Salvador then.

    That’s before the 2 domestic violence reports to his wife. I mean, as an illegal immigrant, how many Laws do you need to break before anyone says, enough is enough? Maybe if he went after his wife a 3rd time?

    The point is that he only cared about anything only after he got arrested. Not even after he got his fiance at the time pregnant as she was already 5 months when the arrest happened. He has two brothers that tried to at least get legal status. He never bothered. I fail to see how that is the State’s or Trump’s or Biden’s fault, for that matter. His chances of asylum were highly unlikely because of his inaction from the get go. If the same thing had happened under Biden or Obama, this would likely not be in the news the way it has been.

    I knew some gang members years ago, a couple of real and wanna be’s socially and a couple through social work and although the term ‘terrorist’ may be a bit weird, I do know that M13 has no have qualms killing people. They are connected to Mexican Cartels too, who have no qualms making videos of them behading or slicing people open while alive. I have seen seen some. I regretted it.

    M13 would set fires to buses in plain daylight, after shooting a driver just to make a point, etc, etc. So, I am okay with M13 members being sent to CECOT. Horrible to say but there is no other fix, as El Salvador does not do capital punishment and the only people who claim that there is a contextual better way have no idea of what they are really talking about or of how bad it really was.

    I agree that it is an edge case, but his only reasons for staying was a legally flimsy one that could have been removed at any time, and for any reasons under any administration, with very little feasible solution for him. It is feasible that he is being made an example. His only claim to stay was based on a judge feeling sorry for him, based on his own word but showing absolutely 0 solid proof to back it up, makes the ruling weak. Since at the same time he was literally hanging out with them, he was not fearful then, his claim only became a thing after he was caught, and not for almost a decade before. Weird, right? It is not kidnapping though, but it is also not fully Lawful, either. He just fucked up and his luck ran out and the Trump admin likely want to up their deportation stats with grey cases as he is extremely likely to get deported even if he is shipped back for a hearing. His brothers are not being deported and cannot be deported because they did something about it and did not run the clock.

    Here is the record of his arrest. I can see why they likely cannot disclose the informant, as he may be in the gang himself and he will get butchered if he gets found out as one. Which sucks for everyone involved.

    As far as CECOT, it is now up to El Salvador’s Goverment to release him either with pressure from the Feds or not. I read the Supreme Court’s ruling, despite what it is being quoted in the media, it is legally very toothless or vague in practice. Plus it states that the District Judge overstepped on some claims in one if its rulings.

    However, it did side partly with him. The Trump admin will appeal. It might likely lose unless more info is made public. And from there, it goes back to the District Courts to make an actionable plan as to how they could try to get him back and get the Feds to comply. The Feds fucked themselves over due to jumping the gun, and putting forth the Legal implication that technically a person could be deported if he crosses the border and the courts do not get to address the issue in time before they do. That part is pretty stupid.




  • Fair takes. Since I posted that, it has been claimed that he was caught with a stash of cash and drugs when he was arrested back in 2019. However, I would wish I could find more data on it. As this does not make him sound as the innocent man CNN AND MSBC claimed that he was. If he is illegal then it makes sense that he was always at a hair’s trigger from being deported. If it was not the Trump’s Admin, it could have done by any Admin.

    It seems that he was a gang member(?) but it seems that he was or at least was a criminal, aside being an illegal, with technically makes him a criminal as he had not seeked for any legal asylum. Was he a gang member for certain? I am honestly not 100% sure as he claims that he was not but two court rulings claimed that he was. Have not read those ruling though.

    Either way, sending him to CECOT seems as overkill. But 8n the end, he has no legal grounds to be in the USA. Specially since 99% of all gangs are now in jail. So even his claim to stay in the USA is now essentially null.

    Edit: Court records show that he has been arrested for domestic violence against his wife. At least twice. Once in 2020, and once in 2021. Wow, the news media trying to sell him as a complete victim is such propaganda.
