Quote:We wanted to do something special for this double July-August issue of The New Republic, but we weren’t sure what; then it hit us that summer is movie season, so why not combine that fact with this magazine’s great passion and come up with a list of history’s best political movies? (TNR, by the way, is no stranger to motion pictures. For decades, the magazine published the work of famed twentieth-century critic Stanley Kauffmann, and we continue to run trenchant film analysis today.)

It was that germ of an idea that led us to reach out to J. Hoberman, one of the leading film critics of the last half-century, to curate this project. Hoberman changed it from “best” to “most significant” and led us in assembling a list of around 130 critics to whom we wrote, asking them to participate. We were pleased that 79 wrote back with their lists. On the following pages, see what they came up with, as well as Hoberman’s overview essay, and some movies that we at TNR thought deserved a mention. Discuss away—and cast your own votes at our readers’ poll here.

The 100 Most Significant Political Films of All Time

This explains my entire life . I was always defiant and never trusted authority. It's like they listed everything a teen goes through as a genetic defect.

I am just looking for help identifying the type of lightening I saw last night and tonight. I live in South Florida which I call the lightening capital of the US. Last night we had our typical light show that looked like this.




What I saw I did not recognize in the video. I am sure that is because of where I was when I was experiencing the light show.

I was driving home last night and tonight. Out here the light is a bit purer because we have no street lights or other light pollution. Now, picture driving down a good sized cow pasture, with ruts that are too wide to be considered washboard in nature, at a speed of about 15 miles an hour, and all you can see is what is directly  ahead of you in the light beams of your car. There is nothing on either side of you but trees.

While driving down what looks like a very dark tunnel you have this spectacular, beautiful light display, but every 8 to 10 seconds you see a beam of light flash that seems straight up and down, no static. It did not look light a lighting bolt, it look like a beam, but was gone as soon as it came, reminding me more of a laser bean than lightening.

I have been looking and researching about lightening, to see which type it may have been. The only thing that comes close is light pillars. But the light did not stay stagnant. It was a quick flash, and it seemed to appear repeatedly in the same place, directly in front of me, at a distance.

So what was I seeing? I am open to all ideas, because I admit I am a bit stumped on this one.

Time to get weird for a minute... Robert Ballard best known for the discoveries of the wrecks of the RMS Titanic in 1985, the battleship Bismarck in 1989, the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown in 1998, AND he discovered the wreck of John F. Kennedy's PT-109 in 2002... was actually on a mission of discovering a couple of wrecked submarines to ascertain what their nuclear reactors, on ships cracked open on the bottom of the ocean were doing to the environment on behalf of the CIA and the US Navy, so...




Rolling Stone has now updated their article, and removed the quote from the DHS official saying "they haven’t heard any noise since yesterday."




Ok, this might sound strange, but if I were a Hollywood scriptwriter I’d say the missing element to the Titanic submersible story is non terrestrial intelligences successfully conducting a rescue of the billionaire's and the rest of the submersible crew, followed by Navy SEAL testimonials.




You know half the time things like documents "obtained" by magazines and newspapers are given directly to a specific reporter to be word-smithed a certain way to influence an outcome. So what I’m saying is there is perhaps some weirdness to come with this story, 80's movies.

The Secret Covenant


THE SECRET COVENANT


An illusion it will be, so large, so vast it will escape their
perception.

Those who will see it will be thought of as insane.

We will create separate fronts to prevent them from seeing the
connection between us.

We will behave as if we are not connected to keep the illusion alive.
Our goal will be accomplished one drop at a time so as to never bring
suspicion upon ourselves. This will also prevent them from seeing
the changes as they occur.

We will always stand above the relative field of their experience
for we know the secrets of the absolute.

We will work together always and will remain bound by blood and
secrecy. Death will come to he who speaks.



We will keep their lifespan short and their minds weak while
pretending to do the opposite.

We will use our knowledge of science and technology in subtle
ways so they will never see what is happening.

We will use soft metals, aging accelerators and sedatives in
food and water, also in the air.

They will be blanketed by poisons everywhere they turn.

The soft metals will cause them to lose their minds. We will
promise to find a cure from our many fronts, yet we will
feed them more poison.

The poisons will be absorbed trough their skin and mouths,
they will destroy their minds and reproductive systems.

From all this, their children will be born dead, and we will conceal
this information.

The poisons will be hidden in everything that surrounds them,
in what they drink, eat, breathe and wear.

We must be ingenious in dispensing the poisons for they
can see far.

We will teach them that the poisons are good, with fun images
and musical tones.

Those they look up to will help. We will enlist them to
push our poisons.

They will see our products being used in film and
will grow accustomed to them and will never know
their true effect.

When they give birth we will inject poisons into the blood
of their children and convince them its for their help.

We will start early on, when their minds are young, we will
target their children with what children love most, sweet
things.

When their teeth decay we will fill them with metals
that will kill their mind and steal their future.

When their ability to learn has been affected,
we will create medicine that will make them sicker and cause other
diseases for which we will create yet more medicine.

We will render them docile and weak before us by our power.

They will grow depressed, slow and obese, and when they
come to us for help, we will give them more poison.

We will focus their attention toward money and material goods
so they many never connect with their inner self. We will distract
them with fornication, external pleasures and games so they may
never be one with the oneness of it all.

Their minds will belong to us and they will do as we say.
If they refuse we shall find ways to implement mind-altering technology
into their lives. We will use fear as our weapon.

We will establish their governments and establish opposites within.
We will own both sides.

We will always hide our objective but carry out our plan.

They will perform the labor for us and we shall prosper from their toil.

Our families will never mix with theirs. Our blood must be pure
always, for it is the way.

We will make them kill each other when it suits us.

We will keep them separated from the oneness by dogma and religion.

We will control all aspects of their lives and tell them what to think and how.

We will guide them kindly and gently letting them think they are guiding
themselves.

We will foment animosity between them through our factions.

When a light shall shine among them, we shall extinguish it by ridicule,
or death, whichever suits us best.

We will make them rip each other's hearts apart and kill their own children.

We will accomplish this by using hate as our ally, anger as our friend.

The hate will blind them totally, and never shall they see that from their
conflicts we emerge as their rulers. They will be busy killing each other.

They will bathe in their own blood and kill their neighbors for as long
as we see fit.

We will benefit greatly from this, for they will not see us, for they
cannot see us.

We will continue to prosper from their wars and their deaths.

We shall repeat this over and over until our ultimate goal is
accomplished.

We will continue to make them live in fear and anger
though images and sounds.

We will use all the tools we have to accomplish this.

The tools will be provided by their labor.

We will make them hate themselves and their neighbors.

We will always hide the divine truth from them, that we are all one.
This they must never know!

They must never know that color is an illusion, they must always
think they are not equal.

Drop by drop, drop by drop we will advance our goal.

We will take over their land, resources and wealth to exercise total
control over them.

We will deceive them into accepting laws that will steal the little
freedom they will have.

We will establish a money system that will imprison them forever,
keeping them and their children in debt.

When they shall ban together, we shall accuse them of crimes and present a
different story to the world for we shall own all the media.

We will use our media to control the flow of information and their sentiment
in our favor.

When they shall rise up against us we will crush them like insects, for
they are less than that.

They will be helpless to do anything for they will have no weapons.

We will recruit some of their own to carry out our plans, we will promise them
eternal life, but eternal life they will never have for they are not of us.

The recruits will be called "initiates" and will be indoctrinated to believe
false rites of passage to higher realms. Members of
these groups will think they are one with us never knowing the truth.
They must never learn this truth for they will turn against us.

For their work they will be rewarded with earthly things and great titles,
but never will they become immortal and join us, never will they receive
the light and travel the stars.

They will never reach the higher realms, for the killing of their own kind
will prevent passage to the realm of enlightenment. This they will never know.

The truth will be hidden in their face, so close they will not be able to focus
on it until its too late.

Oh yes, so grand the illusion of freedom will be, that they will never know they
are our slaves.

When all is in place, the reality we will have created for them will own them.
This reality will be their prison. They will live in self-delusion.

When our goal is accomplished a new era of domination will begin.

Their minds will be bound by their beliefs, the beliefs we have established
from time immemorial.

But if they ever find out they are our equal, we shall perish then. THIS THEY
MUST NEVER KNOW.

If they ever find out that together they can vanquish us, they will take action.

They must never, ever find out what we have done, for if they do, we shall
have no place to run, for it will be easy to see who we are once the veil has
fallen. Our actions will have revealed who we are and they will hunt us down
and no person shall give us shelter.

This is the secret covenant by which we shall live the rest of our present
and future lives, for this reality will transcend many generations and life
spans.

This covenant is sealed by blood, our blood. We, the ones who from
heaven to earth came.

This covenant must NEVER, EVER be known to exist. It must NEVER, EVER
be written or spoken of for if it is, the consciousness it will spawn will release
the fury of the PRIME CREATOR upon us and we shall be cast to the depths
from whence we came and remain there until the end time of infinity itself.

A new COVID-19 variant, Omicron XBB. 1.16, also called Arcturus, was first discovered in January 2023.
One of the characteristics of Arcturus infection is conjunctivitis, otherwise known as pink eye. It is spreading rapidly in many countries, including the United States, the UK, Australia, Singapore, China, and India.
American virology expert Dr. Lin Xiaoxu discussed on the program “Health 1+1″ that emerging new COVID-19 variants were inevitable. He said although it would be hard to forecast the trend of a virus and pathogenicity, the public should be concerned but does not need to panic.
Origin and Spread of Arcturus
In November 2021, the SARS-CoV-2 variant B. 1.1.529 strain first appeared in South Africa, which the World Health Organization (WHO) later named Omicron. Omicron quickly spread worldwide.
Since then, the Omicron strain continued to mutate, transforming into Omicron BA. 2, BA. 5, BA. 2.75, BQ. 1.1, and XBB strain.
As of April 2023, the XBB.1.5 strain, a descendant of the Omicron XBB strain, has proliferated worldwide, and the new variant XBB. 1.16 (Arcturus) has been widespread in various countries.
Lin stated Arcturus was 36 times more contagious than B.1.1.
In laboratory studies, Arcturus had an additional mutation in the spike protein, which was more contagious.
Global Risks of Arcturus
On May 3, 2023, Lancet Infectious Diseases published a study conducted at the Institute of Medical Sciences at the University of Tokyo in Japan.
The study found that XBB.1.16 demonstrates a greater growth advantage in the human population than XBB.1 and XBB.1.5. However, similar to XBB.1 and XBB.1.5, XBB.1.16 exhibits significant immune evasion capabilities.
Japanese medical researchers also discovered that Arcturus had potent resistance to various new COVID-19 antibodies.
On April 20, the Central Epidemic Command Center of the National Health Command Center, Taiwan, held a news conference on the latest mutation.
Lo Yi-chun, a center spokesperson, said the analysis of global variants revealed that the mainstream virus strain was still the XBB strain, accounting for 77 percent of all COVID-19 variants.
Among these variants, XBB. 1.5 variants accounted for 47.9 percent. Arcturus rose from 1 to 4 percent, with an increasing trend in the United States.
The variant was still under observation as of May 21, 2023.
How to Know If You Have Arcturus
Lin stated symptoms of Arcturus include fever, sore throat, runny nose, body aches, diarrhea, fatigue, and shortness of breath.
In severe cases, hypoxic saturation and respiratory distress syndrome were found.
Fever, cough, and conjunctivitis were also observed in children with Arcturus.
Vipin Vashishtha, a pediatric director and consultant at Mangel Hospital and Research Centre and a former official of the Advisory Committee on Vaccine and Immunization Practices at the Indian Academy of Pediatrics, wrote on Twitter on April 2023 about presentations in pediatric cases.
In children, cases of itchy conjunctivitis or sticky discharge in the eyes were on the rise and included symptoms of high fever, cough, and flu.
Some of these symptoms were not seen during the pandemic.
Children Vulnerable to New Mutation
According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), conjunctivitis (pink eye) is a suspected symptom of the Arcturus subvariant, especially in children.
If your child’s eyes are itchy and red, AAO advises parents not to panic, as this is a common eye condition at any age and can also be allergy-related.
However, parents should perform nucleic acid testing on their children to be sure.
How Arcturus Impacts Public Health
A study published in Nature Communications in December 2022 revealed the adverse impact of the COVID-19 virus on the eyes.
Researchers observed infected mice with COVID-19 and found that the mice’s retinal thickness increased significantly by 1.62 times.
In the study, SARS-CoV-2 could spread to the brain and eyes through the trigeminal and optic nerves, resulting in retinal inflammation, pro-inflammatory cytokine production, and reduction in depth perception.
Available Vaccines Versus Variants
Lin reminded viewers that people with long COVID should remain vigilant of the new contagious variant.
Arcturus has a potent resistance to poly antibodies, and these antibodies will be less effective against Arcturus.
Current observation suggests monoclonal antibodies have lost their comprehensive effect on XBB. 1.5 and Arcturus. Hence, it is evident that the development of the new virus has outpaced the progress of current vaccines.
“People who were previously Omicron-infected may have other antibodies that may work against the current variant,” Lin said.
Dr. Lin highlighted that Arcturus, along with XBB.1.5, has shown significant resistance to multiple antibodies. Given the current circumstances, monoclonal antibodies are no longer effective against these variants and have struggled to keep pace with the virus’s evolution.
Furthermore, Dr. Lin mentioned that individuals previously infected with the Omicron variant during its initial stages may possess other antibodies that could still be effective against the current variant.
In light of these findings, Dr. Lin advised individuals with long Covid to exercise caution and take extra measures to protect their health.
How to Prevent Arcturus
Lin recommends ivermectin to prevent Arcturus. He said ivermectin helps reduce the chances of infection, providing more ideal treatment results and benefiting those with mental symptoms. Indian data show ivermectin reduces infection rates among health care workers.
Lin specified ivermectin was not promoted initially due to commercial interests. However, not only is ivermectin affordable, but it is also becoming more recognized in preventing and treating COVID-19.
Satoshi Omura, an honorary professor at Kitasato University, Japan, won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for inventing ivermectin.
Lin suggested ivermectin, if available for purchase, would increase immunity tolerance against the virus during the pandemic.

When dad was a kid (about a hundred years ago) there was a guy who was trying to make a living by stealing prize cattle and bulls from the ranchers in Jack county Texas.

I guess he decided he would make a big raid and steal several cattle at one time. The ranchers got together and formed a Posse and went in pursuit of the guy and all the cattle he had stolen. Tracking was easy as he had stolen 20 head of cattle and so the Posse caught up to the stolen herd and the thief on the night of the 4th day. He was captured and the herd was returned to their owners.

There is a tree in Jack county on top of a small hill known as the hangman's tree. The thief was hanged on the morning of the 5th day and his body was left hanging for the birds, flies, and maggots to feed upon; so even in death at least he was worth something to life on earth.

The end result was cattle rustling (stealing) disappeared in Jack county and moved toward the ranches closer to Ft. Worth, Texas which had a more civilized (lawyers) approach to crime.

So take what you will from this true story. Sometimes you have to sacrifice a few peaches to make a peach cobbler that can feed and benefit the many.

Here's an interesting take on all things Ronald Reagan, Reaganomics, the downfall of the middle class, the rise of the elites and Christian nationalism and how he paved the way for the likes of Donald Trump.

After the late '70s, Anita Bryant and the reprise of the same save the children mantra used earlier against dem colored folks except directed at the gays, I had pretty much had my fill of conservatives and Republicans and swore at the time if Reagan was elected, I was moving to Canada.

I didn't of course. In '81 I had a 7 year old and a mom that had just died the year before I was still processing and was more interested in living life at 100 MPH, doing drugs, drinking, bar life and getting laid and I had just bought a new motorcycle. (I didn't settle down and get married until '85)

Granted, this lady's perspective leans fairly left but I think it is still a good video with some valid points to consider.



Discuss.

Not related but she also has a pretty good video titled: "Why Are Conservatives So Obsessed With Trans Kids?" that's pretty spot on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6qUxa30SFA

What do we think of the ubiquitous Dr. Greer?

Just like with Lazar, I'm on the fence with Greer.  He's too prevalent.  He knows everybody who's anybody.  

I want to believe him.  He has a way of putting the puzzle pieces together in a way that makes perfect sense to me.  I've wondered how the government could keep such a secret for so long, but it makes sense when he speaks about everything being compartmentalized, just like Lazar did.  I would think "wow, these objects, like the tic tac, are baffling even to our fighter pilots." But with compartmentalization, a pilot wouldn't be read in to these programs, just like presidents aren't read in.

Also with free energy, how we've had the tech for a long time, but it's too disruptive to the petrodollar to introduce it.  I'm not a physicist, but it makes sense to me that energy exists everywhere.  In "empty" space, energy is all around you in particle form.  Every once in a while somebody comes up with an invention utilizing zero point energy, but it's shelved, bought out, or seized in a matter of national security.  Security to the petrodollar.  Greer claims the patent offices are controlled.

I'm also not a body-language expert, but he comes off as sort of world-weary, which to me, adds to his credibility.  I've seen him talk down on some of these others who claim they're after the truth.  I believe he said Tom Delonge and his To The Stars Academy are a product of shadow government manipulation.  So why is the government manipulating Tom, but not Greer?  How do we know Greer isn't the manipulator?

On the other hand, I've seen photos of events he's hosted where he claims he contacts ETs, and I'm pretty sure it was a picture of a goddamned moth.  So I don't know what to think of him.

He was an emergency doctor.  Had a sighting when he was young that fascinated him.  Had an uncle who worked for NASA if I recall correctly.  Then he becomes an advocate for government transparency in regards to UFOs.  It's a strange career trajectory, but no more strange in my opinion than former Navy SEALs becoming YouTubers.  Greer is either legit, or a very well-done government plant.

I've seen on two occasions things I can't explain, so I know there is something to all this.  We have Ben Rich, the leader of Skunk Works, saying the UFOs are alien AND man-made.  So either aliens are here or we've made incredible leaps in technology, or possibly both.  It feels like we're being prepped for something, and I can't decide if it's true disclosure, or the fake alien invasion to install a one-world government.  If these tic tacs are blowing the minds of fighter pilots, the average Joes around the world will eat it up that these are alien craft.  Throw some exotic weapons systems on them, stage some false flag attacks, and we're suddenly reminded of Reagan's words, of how soon we'd all forget our differences and UNITE against an "outside threat."

We are indeed in interesting times.
