This movie had some good moments and a few that were more super hero than real war stuff. The hero finds some gold and tries to take the nuggets and cash them in. Unfortunately the Nazis want the gold for themselves. No telling how long it will stay up on youtube so if interested watch now.

It is a long article and very disturbing for those who believe in human rights. I am kinda like Mao in one respect as rights with regards human history seem to be gained/granted by pointy weapons or out of the barrel of a gum..

Dark Anniversary Offers Hope
On this day 25 years ago, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) launched the brutal persecution of Falun Gong, a peaceful spiritual discipline that includes meditative exercises and moral guidance centered on the principles of truth, compassion, and tolerance.

With millions illegally detained, hundreds of thousands imprisoned, and more 5,000 documented deaths, the CCP's campaign to eradicate Falun Gong continues to this day. The Chinese regime has been credibly accused of killing practitioners to harvest their organs. Meanwhile, the CCP's repression has extended beyond its own borders, with instances of a sabotage, violence, and intimidation documented across several continents.

But there is a bright side to the sobering anniversary. Falun Gong practitioners around the world have persisted amid the repression and use large-scale global events on July 20 to expose the persecution and the CCP's lies.

I became an avid reader in my teens. It was my only means for mental escape, because TV was not a thing back then in my community.

I had just entered into my teens when I read 1984. It stuck with me like white on rice.

Amazingly, it opened my eyes and made me realize how powerful words are, and how they could be weaponized.

When I was a teen I did not think I would not see 1984.  Never did I ever think I would live it.

True or not many interesting thoughts about D.C. an the political war machine along with the warrior's competitive edge.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the Justice Department’s classified documents case against former President Donald Trump on July 15, ruling that special counsel Jack Smith’s appointment violated two key provisions of the U.S. Constitution.
In a 93-page ruling, Judge Cannon wrote that Mr. Smith’s prosecution of the former president “breaches two structural cornerstones of our constitutional scheme—the role of Congress in the appointment of constitutional officers, and the role of Congress in authorizing expenditures by law.”
The ruling raises questions about the Justice Department’s use of special counsels.
Peter Carr, a spokesman for Mr. Smith, said the Justice Department had authorized an appeal.
“The dismissal of the case deviates from the uniform conclusion of all previous courts to have considered the issue that the Attorney General is statutorily authorized to appoint a special counsel,” Mr. Carr said in a statement provided to The Epoch Times.
Here are some key takeaways on the ruling and its implications.
Special Counsels and the Appointments Clause
Judge Cannon ruled that Mr. Smith’s position was unconstitutional under the appointments clause of the Constitution, which states that Congress can, through law, allow department heads to appoint “inferior” officers.
The judge ruled that Mr. Smith was an inferior officer, which requires Congress to authorize the attorney general to appoint him as special counsel, which didn’t happen.
Her ruling pointed to how Congress let the Independent Counsel Act, which allowed the Justice Department to appoint special prosecutors, to expire in 1999. While Mr. Smith pointed to other laws to justify his appointment, Judge Cannon rejected those arguments.
Judge Cannon’s ruling conflicts with a 2019 judgment by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, which upheld former special counsel Robert Mueller’s appointment.

The Florida judge also declared his funding illegitimate in her opinion.
“Special Counsel Smith’s office—since November 2022—has been drawing funds from the Treasury without statutory authorization, in violation of the Appropriations Clause,” she wrote.
The appropriations clause reads: “No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law.”
Judge Cannon said the court “has difficulty seeing how a remedy short of dismissal would cure this substantial separation-of-powers violation, but the answers are not entirely self-evident, and the caselaw is not well developed,” she said.
The ruling is limited to the prosecution of former President Trump in the Southern District of Florida but could be cited in other cases.
