But John Ross *knows* he’s in no danger from the vehicle because it’s curving away from him. If he thought he was in any danger all he had to do was move back from the car, which he doesn’t. He draws his weapon, plants his back foot, leans *forward* and then fires.

2026 could be the last year they can cash in and loot the country.

A quick search on their site didn't reveal similar stats for all-cause mortality. Are any numbers available on how that's doing? (The number of people who are long-term disabled in one form or another would also be interesting to know.)

He seems to be getting the cause/effect backwards. Both the judge's decision and the land acknowledgment are based on the existing (heretofore broken) treaties/titles.

Look at this chart and remember:
1) the COVID immune damage claim is that after a COVID infection, influenza gets worse
vs
2) the "immunity debt" claim is that after a bad influenza season, influenza gets better
Now look at how 2022-23 compares to previous years, and ask "Which claim was right?"

Why not both? Bad flu strain and population-level immune dysfunction from mass, repeat COVID infection.
#MaskUp and get vaxxed indeed!
P.S. We are at 29,099 cases already this year as of Dec 19.

Supremacy wants to gain all the benefits of society without paying any natural costs, like fair competition.
This response to even the slightest leveling of the playing field demonstrates how committed to the supremacist notion we white folk still are.

I didn't mean to suggest *you* made that choice. But the reporting (everywhere) consistently chooses a past-tense framing. (Which is particularly odd because even gov't official stats has it as a present concern, but that info is never promoted.)

There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."
