The government of Israel has hired a new conservative-aligned firm, Clock Tower X LLC, to create media for Gen Z audiences in a contract worth $6 million. At least 80% of content Clock Tower produces will be "tailored to Gen Z audiences across platforms, including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, podcasts, and other relevant digital and broadcast outlets" with a minimum goal of 50 million impressions per month. Clock Tower will even deploy "websites and content to deliver GPT framing results on GPT conversations." In other words, Clock Tower will create new websites to influence how AI GPT models such as ChatGPT, which are trained on vast amounts of data from every corner of the internet, frame topics and respond to them " all on behalf of Israel. Donald Trumpf Jr and Lara Trump are "major stakeholders" in Clock Tower, which is run by former Dummkopf Trumpf campaign manager Brad Parscale. read more
The Trumpf junta is pressuring Taiwan to rapidly move 50% of its chip production into the US if it wants ensured protection against a threatened Chinese invasion, slimy US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick disclosed. Lutnick noted that Taiwan makes about 95% of chips used in smartphones and cars, as well as in critical military defense technology. It's bad for the US, Lutnick said, that "95% of our chips are made 9,000 miles away," while China is not being "shy" about threats to "take" Taiwan. Were the US to lose access to Taiwan's supply chain, the US could be defenseless as its economy takes a hit, Lutnick whined, asking, "How are you going to get the chips here to make your drones, to make your equipment? If you can't make your own chips, how can you defend yourself, right?" the greedy oligarch argued. That's why his "objective" is to shift US chip production from 2% to 40%. To achieve that, Lutnick somehow plans to bring Taiwan's "whole supply chain" into the US. read more

#14: Based strictly on appearance, ICE can pick up Blair Imani off the street without a warrant. The poor woman would have to prove she is a US citizen at the ICE facility. After 9/11, ICE was created to immediately target and deport foreigners without a warrant or lengthy criminal trial, the way the FBI would have to operate. After 9/11 there was not enough pushback from Democrats or liberals to limit the power of DHS and ICE and here we are today. Technically, ICE has become a more powerful police agency than the FBI. Next year ICE will have 10,000 agents roaming the streets with hi-tech Israeli hacking devices and access to the FBI's fingerprint database. www.yahoo.com
"It's also an inexcusable strategic risk to concentrate so many leaders in the operational chain of command in the same publicly known time and place, to convey an inane message of little merit."
The US was lucky that nothing terrible happened during this idiotic convention. Our adversaries had mercy on us.
AI estimates this boondoggle cost the American taxpayer $6m.
BTW: Generals, admirals, SGMs, and CPOS are human! In their limited off-time, they enjoy watching playing golf or tennis or watching football and baseball, like other Americans: www.sportphotogallery.com
They also like being with their families: api.army.mil
I don't think these flag officers enjoyed losing their weekend time coming to Virginia from EUCOM, AFRICOM, CENTCOM Forward, and PACOM to listen to a drunkard's drivel.

#1: "...including former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Trump said it wasn't his decision to head up the body." "Believe me, I'm very busy," he said " but said that he agreed to it anyway."
BULLSH**! Islamophobic Tony Blair has been itching to be the "Viceroy" over the Gaza Strip for months (maybe even years).
Don't believe me? Just look at the date of this one article. There are others: www.theguardian.com
#1: Vladimir Putin would not approve of the US fighting China and Xi Jinping knows this. Beijing and Moscow know to ignore whatever claptrap Dummkopf Trumpf bleats, but they do pay attention to what he does. The UK, Japan, ROK, Australia, and NZ are a different matter: www.japantimes.co.jp
#8: Hi Doc Sarvis: I'm sensing this shooting of the Mormons and the Charlie Kirk assassination are "right on right" violence. The many rightwing factions in Weimar Germany took years to finally consolidate under the NSDAP. In the meantime, the German rightwing fought off the Communists until 1933. Similarly the Stalinists and the Trotskyites in the Spanish Civil War were at loggerheads while fending off the Falangists. Charlie Kirk, like House Republican Marjorie Taylor-Greene, was becoming publicly skeptical of Israel, which may have led to his demise by someone to the right of him (if that's possible): www.newsweek.com
Regarding the Mormon massacre, there are Christian purists today who consider the LDS heretical. The LDS may use Christian terms, but the origins of their universe is a far cry from the Old and New Testaments. Last century I heard of a Baptist father abducting his own daughter when he heard she was in love with a Mormon and was going marry him.
#22: FTA: "Each year, close to 5,000 children are diagnosed with brain tumors, which are the leading cause of pediatric cancer related death. Last month, the Trumpf junta announced it would stop supporting a federally funded network dedicated to researching these deadly cancers." m.media-amazon.com
Dummkopf Trumpf ordered 500 tons of undelivered food be burned after he had Empty Suit Marco Rubio dismantle USAID, a JFK-created agency that could have bought this "big harvest" to feed starving people in the Third World: foodtank.com

#1: And Australia was already doing superbly with beef exports. What a bonanza for them; the Australians are laughing their way to the bank, thanks to Dummkopf Trumpf. I hope Red State American cattle ranchers that voted for Dotard Trumpf don't read drudge.com: www.farmersjournal.ie
Water scarcity, oil pollution, environmental degradation, manifest corruption, and enormous income inequality are fueling the tribal wars in Nigeria, not religious differences as Islamophobes would have you believe. These problems led to the growth of 'Boko Haram' (meaning 'the West is sinful') and the MEND: Link One /// Link Two
In the Sahel, the Tuaregs are similarly fighting against Western imperialism and the environmental degradation left behind by the French uranium mining industry so they end up joining AQIM. For decades the Naxalites (Maoists) in India have been fighting the oppressive Hindu-caste system which keeps the Untouchables (Dalits) at the bottom.
Prima facie all of these conflicts may look religious in nature, but they are all about economic, social, environmental, and political injustices.
Retired US Army General Barry McCaffrey suggests that Dummkopf Trumpf "had no idea" that the comical SECDEF Pete "Hic!" Kegsbreath was recklessly convening the galaxy of 800 flag officers at Quantico, VA on 30 Sep and that Trumpf learned of it "horns in." This is plausible because the USSS seems to have been notified late and scrambled to secure the site, taking over security from USACID: www.rawstory.com
And the vastly underqualified sycophantic DNI Tulsi Gabbard did not notify the White House that she was revoking the security clearances of 37 senior USIC personnel, blind-siding the Dotard-in-Chief: www.theguardian.com
US national security is in complete disarray thanks to the Trumpf junta. Gut arbet, those of you who voted for Dummkopf Trumpf on Tuesday, 5 Nov 2024.
