A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat and speaking low to me, he said. We fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost. You're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free, of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame's number. You trade it in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be buried. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to torture freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep, and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave, dill the land of the free? Things? A little bunch of drill work done. 2018. It is Friday evening. It is the last hour of the day and the week for the intelligence report and that makes this quarter-masters corner. And yeah, it is October here as well. We have been getting rains like every other day entering the fall monsoon season. This bought, that bit me last year. The monsoons in combination with some of my own laziness and distraction I did not get leaves up and it rot Played hab with the yard so this time I'm definitely going to get the leaves up even if I have to get them up wet because I don't want to keep repairing yard, but Yeah, I know we've been seeing some Mid to high 40s in the middle of the day sometimes I actually put on a sweatshirt one day so the warm and sultry summer is disappearing rapidly. See how quickly we turn hot and sweaty? Isn't this awful? Into a pleasantly remembered warm and sultry. It doesn't take very long at all. It's only going to be a little bit of time before we start firing up. the furnace and the electricity bill goes through the floor and the gas bill goes through the roof and takes up the slack. The same money drivel continues, it just shifts mode. Oh well, that's the way it goes. I was out there, I have had occasion to start observing the winds and man it was really perking up the other day. That may be spin off from the storm down south, but we'll see. how that goes. I've been watching the forecast too, with an attention to which days are eight miles an hour or less, and there's not very many of them. If you had a windmill, this would be a great season for your windmill. Of course, it probably sits idle a lot of the rest of the year, but it's great right now. Anyway, all sorts of interesting stuff has been going on this week. I'm not sure which ones we want to talk about. The censorship campaign continues. Another channel that I watch sometimes called Just Informed Talk just got spiked. They didn't blow away the whole channel, they just went through and demonetized every video the guy has ever done. And of course, YouTube has this rule that you can't even argue about the demonetization of a video unless that video has gotten a thousand views in the last week. Well, you know, if you run a bunch of them and have a big library of back videos, the older ones are not going to pick up a thousand views in a week. even if they are cumulatively in enormous amount of views and contribute tremendously to the producer's income. So one of these little censorship munchkins goes through and just pings every single one of his videos. Most of them he doesn't get the privilege of even arguing and requesting a manual review. So you know even though they've nailed all the big very very popular channels, the smaller ones they're still going around and spiking and poisoning. The campaign has not ended, apparently Google and YouTube and some of the others are either not afraid of an antitrust suit or they figure they've already dug that hole and they may as well go for broke and do what they can to influence the midterm elections. I think they're getting scared. I think they're starting to realize that, you know, just like the 98% win chance for Hillary, the certainty of a blue wave is probably in the same category. I hope that is the case. I do hope people don't get complacent and stay at home. It would be a very, very bad thing to let the Blues take over the Congress. They could then proceed to jam up everything for the next two years. So, you know, I would encourage people, regardless of what you think of the system, get out there and vote against the Blues, even if you're not really in favor of the Reds. But, you know, don't let them. grab control of the Congress and proceed to jam things up. Our only hope of fixing things rather than having to smash them and rebuild, which is vastly more painful, is to keep them from seizing control of one of the houses. So, you know, that's my little editorial here. You want to inject anything in there before we go on to the next things? No, just the, again, the idea that the Republicans had ample opportunity. They should be the ones jamming things up and they don't know how to do it. Yeah, I have a little respect for the Republicans, but the Democrats are worse a little bit. Right. It's just, the problem is that they should have been for the last two years doing a good job, but for the very reason you mentioned, everything. In fact, if they'd done right, they, in theory, should be able to keep it. But we'll see what happens there. Time, let's be prepared for all the rest of the variables and We do maintain control, it'll just be business as usual. Failure on their part to follow through on what they should because they've got the majority. Well, we'll just keep beating them with a noodle and maybe they'll listen. Well, I think what they were doing is that they were sitting on the sidelines, sucking their thumbs, waiting to see who's going to win, assuming that the vampires would win and the Trumpster would fail against the vampires. And then they can say, oh, well, we were with you vampires all along. We were good minions, you know? And now that they're saying that the Trumpster may be winning against at least some of the vampires, they're starting to shift sides. but you know there's there's absolutely nothing admirable about most of these characters being professional politicians means that they have no principles they just uh... their weather paints so you know fine it's a little weather spanned whether they're it's so good itself The other little bit of news that continues to shock people, I'm not sure why anybody is surprised, I think we mentioned this last time, was that, remind me if we did mention this last time, is that the old story from 2015 has resurfaced about how China has slipped espionage chips into super micro brand server motherboards and those got widely distributed through the distribution chain and this is just a demonstration of the hazard of allowing critical infrastructure to be produced by a hostile foreign country or any foreign country for that matter but what they did Here's what people need to understand is that the server motherboards have built into them a remote administration facility. It is as part of the bios and it is designed to let system administrators who are responsible for a thousand machines connect to and manage a machine even if the operating system is completely crashed. They can get in there They can turn it on, turn it off, reload application software. They can update the BIOS and so on, which gives them immense control over these servers. That is supposed to be a secure mechanism, but what the Chinese did is they made a teensy little chip. It's probably just a little 8-bit app mail or something like that. And they plugged it in. In addition, to the normal stuff, it kind of slipped it in by strong arming of manufacturers in China. saying slip this in there or else we will make things uncomfortable for you. And what that does is it seizes control of that remote administration facility and sends out a ping to, you know, foreign addresses saying, hey, I'm one of the servers you control, come talk to me if you want. It probably exports some sort of authentication or what have you. But the idea being that It uses, it hijacks this built-in facility that's already in the server motherboard and makes it available to these foreign operators, which is otherwise known as the People's Liberation Army, aka Government of China. tens or hundreds of thousands of machines that are out there. This was discovered almost by accident. Amazon was about to buy a company whose boards are made by Supermicro. and sent some of these boards off to a third party security firm to be inspected. And the third party firm found it. Of course, Amazon took credit for, oh, we discovered this and purged them from our system and so on. I'm not sure if that's truthful or not. Then Apple jumped on board and said, oh, okay, we've purged these from our systems. Maybe they did, maybe they didn't. But, and this all happened back in 2015, so supposedly all of the affected and infected boards have been purged and that's no longer happening. I don't believe that for a second. This was done by adding a chip to the motherboard and That's sort of a crude way of doing things. They can do the same thing by slipping hostile bios code into these things or just embedding that sort of chip in an extra little bit of the silicon if they Strong-armed the chip manufacturers the same way they strong-armed the board manufacturers. So that external chip could vanish but the function could be slipped into a machine within the major chips. What's more, they could do something like it's not going to activate or show itself for the first thousand hours, so any sort of security inspection won't reveal it or what have you. It's very, very difficult. to handle that sort of stuff if somebody else controls the manufacturer. One of our friends asks, you know, can you shut off that security? Well, a properly configured external firewall might not allow that communication to get outside of your network. But you would have to know what ports and protocols are affected. I don't know those offhand. It's probably not hard to find out. But, so, you know, once you know the threat that is being exploited, you can take measures against it beyond x-raying the motherboard and identifying every chip and saying, wait a minute, what's this little guy? But, remember that this function is a tiny chip, could be added easily to one of the large, legitimate chips in the silicon foundry, and you would never find that. Because you know, how can you audit the contents of a CPU chip or a you know, one of the chipset components or what have you. So the simple fact of the matter is as long as a foreign hostile country is manufacturing all your critical stuff, you cannot trust it. Best you can do is set up different machines that check each other and there's a chance that you may have thwarted any sort of risk of that sort. The simplest and only reliable approach is to make that stuff locally. And, to be very, very careful with the manufacturers. Apply a lot of pressure. Have third parties inspect their stuff. Explain to them if we find any funny business here, a whole bunch of people are going to wish that they were merely roasting on a spit. It would be more comfortable than what we're going to do to you. But, that's not the situation now. They've simply declared the problem no longer an issue and we're supposed to believe that. That's the situation there. But that story has been back in the news I suspect that that was injected into the news stream by some of the good guys with some sort of cooperative corporate media of some sort or fringe media because that happened a few years ago but popping it up now is convenient with the Chinese whining and crying and playing victim. when Trump goes up against them insisting on the IP thefts and counterfeiting and copyright violations and currency manipulations and all those things be cleaned up. So he's applying pressure to them, they're whining and crying and taking out ads in our newspapers and all that kind of good stuff. This is a countermeasure to their victim song. And it's a good one. It's a good one. It shows just what sleazy buggers these characters really are. And they've just slipped that stuff in. There's reason to believe they've done the same sort of thing in a lot of routers and such. Those would not be inspected with the same sort of rigor as motherboards that are intended for DOD or Amazon or somebody. Note that DOD didn't catch them. Amazon did. and Amazon didn't catch them, they actually hired a firm to do it. And they say that these server motherboards are on board naval vessels and all sorts of places. They're not. Well, let me get back to something we talked about here just not too long ago. We had a series of navigational issues in the Chinese theater of operation, colliding with marine ships, remember? Yes. And I argued that, again, this is like the, remember the In's Law case years ago, there's a couple of them where they had chips, the Israelis are the ones who inserted them in or actually would happen, they took over the original company. Throws into the promos software. Throws into the promos software. Now, describing here, you don't know what, to what end, but you know what? This didn't make any sense when they happened, but they would if you were inserting somebody else at the joystick, wouldn't it? Well, yeah, it wouldn't necessarily be that, but yeah, there are things you could do to compromise the system to cause some difficulty controlling the vessel, so it's gonna plow straight ahead. Right, well, those strange activities, all you have to do is just skew the ability to control it. If you're paying attention, I mean, everything's on time delivery, I can watch you from afar. There's so many variations on this where they can test it to see if it works, and it's one thing when it happens right once, demonstrate you could do this, perhaps at your discretion with it. States around the American. Social collisions and activity are happening in the Pacific theater, our Pacific. Within the window and time frame too. There's some lead time involved but nobody knows how long they've been doing that before they were discovered in in 15. You know, and just because I admit to this mistake doesn't mean I want to admit to the other mistakes thinking and I was thinking what I should be saying. You'd want to pass technology, you have to start back, you know, you'd have to back to the system and just with the acknowledgments they've already made. And I'll repeat that this is a A very low level mechanism is designed to let administrators get into these machines and manipulate them. Even if the operating system is not working, it's crashed, the machine is turned off and running on standby, you can turn it back on again. All of this kind of stuff is very, very low level stuff. So all the anti-viruses in the world, all the root kit scanners, all that kind of stuff does you absolutely no good against this particular administrative mechanism. So, you know, there's a little bit of misunderstanding there. This is very, very low level stuff that plugged in. And you can do exactly the same thing in routers, those probably not as worthwhile, because those are very mass produced and most of them are low interest points. You've got hundreds of millions of routers scattered all over the country, little itty bitty consumer routers. They're not likely to be in a point of interest, but server motherboards are more likely to be used in areas of interest. They've caught a few actual Chinese spies. One of them have basically got the entire specs for the C-17. The Chinese built their copy of the C-17 and have trotted it out at international air shows bragging about it. People have kind of seen these things parked side by side next to a rail one and said, well, golly, look at that. So, they're thumbing their nose at us and doing this stuff, not to mention all of the other industrial espionage and so on. This has been called the greatest transfer of wealth in history, and I think that's true. This is what brought China up into the modern age, giving them all of our infrastructure and allowing them to steal basically all of our intellectual property and just bootstrapped themselves completely, skipped all the R&D and the learning curve and so on. Now some of it is to their own credit, they're graduating more engineers every year than we have total. On the other hand, the flip side of that is their engineers aren't very good because they're creating bushels of them and all they're doing is copying our stuff. So they're not coming up with much in the way of original work. So if you want to call that... Not only with American technology, but they're still doing what they've traditionally done, which is observing and or lend leasing and or pirating from other countries. Russia's much easier for them to back engineer. The Europeans are like a sieve, much like we are in many ways, depending on the country, and China has the money to spend by the people who are willing to sell out their nation in the process. All they need is some money and a lack of principles because the limited amount of industrial espionage and so on that goes on among the Western countries is reduced by the fact that the Western countries will prosecute their own people stealing from one of the neighbors. You know, we have a certain ethic, not a perfect one. We've certainly got vampires running the show at the top level. We have plenty of problems. But in general, if somebody in the US is caught, stealing stuff from Britain or vice versa, we would prosecute our own personnel for doing that. Whereas if it were, you know, all holds, you know, no holds barred, do anything you want, there's no extradition, you can get away with anything, you know, so on and so forth, that would be an entirely different mechanism. So the Western world doesn't have the immune system against theft and invasion and espionage that it probably needs because it didn't previously have such a bad actor on the field. Even the old Soviets were somewhat limited by their lousy economy. There's only so much mischief they could get into. The Chinese, we have given this massive economy and allowed them to steal more of it and now they are running amok. We do not have the infrastructure. We still have, you know, every every utility system in the country is running crappy old software and crappy old computers and they can't be bothered to secure their networks and so on no matter how much we are paying them because nobody gets thrown in prison for a year for allowing a breach. It simply doesn't happen. It's going to be a painful transition to go to something that's a little more secure. And it's going to cost an immense amount just because these worthless buggers are over on the other side of the planet getting away with any old garbage they want to try. There hasn't been a sheriff in town, and we're starting to get one. He's actually putting a squeeze on them and saying, hey, you want to agree with us? OK, $250 billion on tariffs. What what they play the victim and you know here we go around in circles So you know this is probably why this story has resurfaced is to negate their playing the victim role in our press you know once again, they're using our Western values of fairness against us because you know sociopathic scumbags will use any tactic that they think might work even if they have to rely on the good character of their targets. So, you know, these are the people that we're facing. Then compare that against the Russians, whose great offense against us is what? Oh, wait, they haven't been doing anything. But we can accuse them of tinkering the election because we social justice warriors don't like the end result of the election. So we'll just accuse the Russians. We aren't going to say anything about the Chinese who actually slaughter thousands of people every year as political prisoners. No, we're just going to accuse the Russians of tinkering with an election when they didn't even tinker with an election. Right. Or let's put it this way. It's most likely the Chinese are the ones doing it instead of the Russians. Well, of the group, the two that are most likely are again the EU elements or the Middle East with the Israelis, which are really the bigger buggers of the bunch, and the Chinese with again their monetary influence, if nothing else. Again, they're joined at the hip with Silicon Valley being demonstrated by their activities right now. Oh yeah, they've bought Hollywood, you know, lock, stock and barrel. Notice all of the movies that come out. There's no evil Chinese anybody, you know, they're always saving the world and all this kind of garbage. You know, major politicians have documented bribes in all practical terms. What is it? Mitch McConnell, I guess. He and his wife get something like 18 million a year from China. So, you know, he was he was basically bought and paid for I think the Trumpster probably has the skinny on him and he's flipped and rolled over and said, okay fine, you know, I'll cooperate with you but Remember that movie to the hit the district Japan remember to 2012. Okay, think about it like save the world remember things were where it's the same thing, right? You know Matt Damon gets stranded on Mars and the only way we can launch a rescue mission is if the Chinese step in and nobly, you know, boost our astronaut. The Chinese, yeah. Yeah, exactly. You know, so they like to go to movies. One year that took place, one was a cartoon done for, to film movies. Never from only other countries. You know, direct and their version of Hollywood. The great lizard, Gojira, was Japanese, you know. Not Chinese. Oh, I know, but they're still the ones cranking out the movies. That's the whole thing. Not the Japanese. The Chinese. And the movie, they always, you know, manage to destroy or drive off Gojiroso. And then he disappears for a while, but he's not quite dead. And then Mothra comes or something. Yeah. Mothra! Oh, I love those two little girls. Mothra, you get the two little geishas who are always singing and keeping Mothra, you know, from a pupa to... Interesting thing is tying this in with the... Everybody's already noticed the... It is not an American, you know, that East industry will strength represent. There's a little difference in the magnitude of it. I mean, you know, all of those countries kind of got admitted into the Western economic system. They came up the curve. They started out, you know, copying and contracting and so on. And then they did some R&D and now they're actually standing on their own and producing worthwhile products that they developed. and so on. The Chinese are still pirates. There are parasites. They never saw a copy of the wild birds. They didn't want to violate, they never saw a design they didn't want to steal. And with Western countries contracting them to make all the products, what they do is, you know, the The factories run off the products during the day for the western countries. The round eyes go... I'm sorry, the big noses. That's what the Chinese call us. The big noses go home at night or for the weekend or whatnot. And then they fire up the factory some more and run off the knockoffs. Off of the same molds that, you know, our company's paid to produce. And then our companies wonder why there are so many cheap knockoffs that are undercutting their business. Well, dolce. You know, what do you expect? Well, an example, something we had happened last year. I was buying from one of the, uh, you know, these, like Wish. Magpul does a lot of work where they, and then, yeah, guess what? You know, obviously stuff, this is stuff comes. They picked. I think of the one and 20 of the other. The difference was, well, I'm the one. And I've got these saved. Actually, I have. It'd only take a second. Somebody's mistake that they mixed the two there. Oh yeah. Oh, cool. Here's the other thing. The Wowser works. One of the things that also before World War II with the guys that's Chinese it just looks like a zigzag you know nonsense thing they didn't recognize the difference between M and W now I've got something coming but you know I've noticed it's been retarded I as far as there was you know wish and companies have frenzy guys have you seen the display currency display or sample of Kruger ends fitting of bullion coins coming out of China and people here are starting to become more and more sophisticated at scanning for them because it's getting harder. The only one that I wanted was an ingot and I looked in the picture and I was trying to figure out what in the hell does that operator 15 time. Hey this is kind of interesting. Well as soon as I get a chance I ordered one just because and again it's free shipping it was you know if you balance it out with wish you can If you're willing to pay twice as much, give them down to a minimal expense. And this was something that I looked at and I thought, you know, that would be, I would lay that right next to the, the, the, you know, this is the one item that it's interesting to me. I realized, you know what, anybody read what sign of a bar you make? It's like that. It's interesting. Yeah, Mark, you know, talking about knockoffs, you don't remember when a Soviet Union collapses, collapse in a, or making knockoff Levi's, Lee's Wranglers. But remember, in Frontier, they were by. like where you know you tear stone that was one of the things that was an ongoing business is they just wanted to they didn't want the whole pan they just wanted the label to stitch on the pan. Oh the leather one. Blue jeans, it's stack crawlers which were all. Oh let's be fair I'm sure they also caught some fish. The troops enjoyed the vodka you know at least for you know long as it like collecting more leather pads you said there is an ante up here. Herbert Walker Bush had all of these significant elements for Herbert Walker Bush difference if he lost or not look who signed it. And then immediately signed it. He signed it soon up in front of him. Aaron will- will you nasty get? Herbert Walker Bush is the author, well, is one of the authors, even when they had he- he's one of the kick-line guys. You know, finish the problem. The other things here too, like you said, the aerospace component has been the most heavily compromised of our most, you know, um... Well they avoided all the R&D cost of doing that stuff. If they came up the curve and developed competing technologies and all that kind of good stuff themselves, that would be legitimate behavior. But they didn't. They stole what we used and therefore we paid for all the engineering and then they stole it. With collusion, I would say, especially the Clinton administration and so on, now they're starting to be a bit of pushback from the trumpster saying hey this is going to stop and you know you're going to you're going to pay a price for this and you don't stop it we're doing some tariffs and you need our markets and uh... you know we we want some uh... uh... some some give back here because uh... you know you've got away with this garbage and there's nothing we can do about it in the past but it's not going forward and so you know that arm wrestling is going on right now bk yet yet missus is the girl at the suite And the thing is I'm going to call if you want to make a comment and that is if we are the world's oil exporter now we should be paying two and a half dollars for a per gallon of gas we should be paying. Now what they're going to do is they're going to keep the price high and then when they've turned it around to the point that you know we're selling at the high price then that becomes advantageous from a macroeconomic point of view because that'll keep the the financial system going a few months or a year or two longer than it would otherwise. It's going to crash. I think the Trumpster knows it and expects the cryptos to become the future currency. But we can keep things tottering along a bit longer and make for a softer crash if we export a bunch of oil and vacuum back some trillions of US dollars that are floating around the planet that will hold off the hyperinflation of the dollar and the crash of the dollar for a little while because it gives some value to all of those dollars that foreign countries are holding in various forms because they can get oil for it rather than just saying, oh, okay, well, we'll buy Rockefeller Center and that's about it. uh... that does give them something to spend it on and that battle uh... you know that won't stop it falling through the floor and value of ventrally but it was going to happen how many different countries have bought rock color plaza over the years how many situation with the you know the export import money flow he's i think have it I kind of skinned the Japanese on that. They sold the Japanese a lot of real estate in New York and Hawaii and so on. And then the markets fell and they cleaned them out. Sorry about that guys. They can buy it but they can't take it with them. I've been hearing the Saudi wells are getting ready to go dry. Months away from going dry for decades now. Yeah. Wait, hold on. Before we go any farther, because they have not in YouTube somewhere. Strange love, what's new pussycat? Like yeah, only the oil, it's only a reality if you remember the way they used to depict it. Pay attention to how they're joking about the oil wells. What the agenda is. In fact, what actually is going on. There's another one, a variation on that, which is the Mouse that Roared. Remember that? I believe there's a Mouse comedy. By the way, it's a doomsday comedy too, which is really neat. But it doesn't end the world or anything. It just creates world peace. Anyway. Yeah, lower Slobovia needs foreign aid so they declare war on the US so they can get foreign aid. Yeah, exactly, and they win. And they didn't expect it. Mark, I remember a comic book cover in the 1970s. It was a Disney comic book. It had supply. It had Mickey Mouse on one side on the scale and then Pluto on the other side with a rocking chair and everything plugged in, you know, just wasting electricity. You know, that's out of electricity. Right, which of course, now there we could, like we pointed out many times, you know, the only reason we're here with the wind generator generates, they won't destroy it over staying with attacking the last couple decades. Hydro, come poison this myotics and the water's always there. Well, for all of them, come on, stop. The water's always there. For all of the incompetent engineering and operation that's gone, even fission reactors meet the standard of, well, if you really believe in all these carbon footprint CO2 emission baloney, then you should be in favor of fission reactors. But the eco-fains are not left behind. brain engineering mindsets, they don't think in numbers and logic, they think in emotion and images, and so they're easily steered in that direction. Here's a challenge. If somebody has ever tempted to listen to and obey a social justice warrior, tell them, first, before you decide to listen to this person, have them help you repair your car. or, you know, or patch, or change the tires, or design anything, or, you know, balance a checkbook. If they're so incompetent that they can't do those things, and they are, then why should you trust them with the big policy issues? You know, these, oh, well, you know, we can't do any little stuff, we're only good at the big stuff, yeah, right. Yeah, and I'm a Chinese jet pilot named Lao Zee. Mark, you know what the strangest thing is? They had to, uh, they had to sort of like strike about 10,000 people from the voter rolls in the county because when they were trying to select a jury they had 10,000 people at the same residence, which is an empty lot. Yeah. A lot of people in a skyscraper that just didn't exist? Yep. Well that brings us back to the same deal. I think that people ought to dip their finger in ink at the voting station. It settles in real quick, doesn't it? Well, that solves a chunk of the problem really quickly. Either that or just take the finger in. And it won't stop Jose Gonzalez from pretending to be some dead person, but it'll prevent him from pretending to be ten different dead people. You only have one corpse voting instead of what, 10,000? Exactly. Instead of well 10. Well, one of the other things here real quick on that note, and we discussed, you're not seeing any significant idea about doing any kind of voter, and I hate the word voter reform, because it just seems to be as simple as voter, a voter... Missouri! Missouri requires a photo ID and they're running public service ads reminding people of that. A lot of states are, you know, the more SJW state is, the more pushback there is against even just showing a driver's license, which is not by any means a good demonstration that you are a permitted voter, but at least it's something. Well, I think somebody should take 7-11 to court because they asked for ID for buying beer. if they're asking for ID to vote, you know what I mean? It's racist to buy beer, just show ID to buy beer. No, no, real quick on that note, think about this, they're becoming so anal-retending with certain chains. Just a sidebar, there is a program, remember I talked to them for monitoring all your lumber through the UN and limiting it? You said Lowe's and all of the other chain stores, but here's an interesting one. One of the girls punched up, I dropped off where the way it shows up on the... demanded... she demanded I... driver's license to show your driver's license to return cans. Another girl looked over at her, looked over at me and said, oh no, you don't have to do that right now. Hey, wait a minute. Now, something where you guys know, not them, the government made it mandatory that if you bring can, you know, you gotta, you have to pay the 10 cents to the can, you know, system and then whoever gets to give you the money back. Yes, some ridiculous bureaucrat imagines that money laundering is being done. They're laundering billions of dollars by moving hundreds of billions of empty soda cans around. Empty soda cans and bottles, don't forget. We're very heavy bottles. We're going for you guys. I'm afraid somebody might give you some money. Oh, no. Yeah, it could be us. And in fact, it's already on the books. I'm to the lowest income, conditional reporting. Usually when they passed it, oh, we're just after the wars and wars. dropped it to seven, and you dropped it to four. Should it go down to plus or minus? Have to do all the paperwork. Now they probably got it down to an onboard software package reporting an actual mechanical report at the end of the day on every tras. Assume that they're doing the full action, they use the bookie. I don't know if you could count on that. It was already set up when Fincen was originally established back in the early 90s. I reported that, every aspect of that. We covered this whole police state thing with the economy collapsing, or if it would, remember that they don't want you to You don't want the money moving at all in 1929 or 1933. Freeze in place, the digits will. They slide the digits over to the international bankers and you won't be able to give or take. You won't be able to move anything out of the account at all. If they authorize, they want total currency or whatever it is they've got. Digits aren't split over into the general population who actually move the economy forward. That's what they did when they withdrew the cash supply during the Great Depression. It's something they'll try to do now. said it would only be a switch that they hit this time but then still those favorites
