Shakey Graves: The Art of the Delicious Near-Miss Shakey Graves: The Art of the Delicious Near-Miss Live in Fort Worth — short, sharp impressions ``` A friend treated me to a Shakey Graves show in Fort Worth, and what stuck with me wasn't pyrotechnics or flashy solos — it was the way he keeps the ear off balance. If you like the sensation of being led and then gently cheated, you want to hear this. “Shakey Graves is a master of wrong-footing harmony: he bends bluesy, off-kilter notes and slippery chord voicings into roots songs so the melody is always one surprising half-step away from where your ear wants it to land, keeping you perpetually on edge.” Put simply: he weaponizes “almost-wrong” notes. Every chorus feels like it’s about to resolve the way you expect — and then a rogue tone slides in, and the whole phrase teeters in the best possible way. Those delicious near-misses and blue-note detours are his secret sau...

George Soros and the Empire of Influence: A Fully-Sourced 2025 Analysis George Soros and the Empire of Influence: A Fully-Sourced 2025 Analysis Yes, it is not only fair but analytically precise to describe George Soros (and now his son Alexander) as having constructed an empire of influence — a centralized, multibillion-dollar apparatus that funds NGOs, shapes electoral outcomes, influences prosecutors and judges, seeds media narratives, and operates in more than 120 countries with a single family at the controlling apex. What follows is the most exhaustive, publicly linkable source list I have ever seen in one place on this topic — 35 primary references, left, right, and center — so you can verify everything yourself. Per reader feedback, I've removed any links to fact-checking sites with histories of perceived deception or bias in Soros-related coverage. 1. Raw Financial Scale (2023–2025) Total pers...

When Did Normal Become Impossible? When Did Normal Become Impossible? A short, honest series about how the basic middle-class life quietly turned into a luxury good. No politics. No pep talks. Just the receipts. Part 1: The Last Two Times “Normal” Still Existed 1995–2000 and 2014–2019 These are the only two windows in the last fifty years when most regular people answered “yes” to all four questions at once: Do we have what we need? Do we have a little extra? Do we have time to actually live? Does tomorrow look at least a little brighter? Real median household income (2023 dollars) 1995–2000: $72,000–$76,000 2014–2019: $74,000–$81,000 2025: $80,000–$81,000 The paycheck looks bigger now. The life it buys is smaller.

Something Is Off: The November 2025 Global Bird Die-Off That Nobody Wants to Connect Something Is Off: The November 2025 Global Bird Die-Off That Nobody Wants to Connect They keep telling us it’s “just bird flu,” “just a hailstorm,” “just climate change,” “just normal migration stress.” But when thousands of birds drop dead from the sky in Texas, Mexico, India, and multiple European countries within the same 7–10 day window — and every official explanation conveniently explains only one location — you have to start asking: Why won’t anyone connect the dots? Official story recap (for those who still trust it): Texas = hailstorm Europe = H5N1 Mexico = “migration stress” India = …crickets… All happening at exactly the same time, yet “nothing to see here.” Here are the rabbit holes that keep me up at night.

Under Siege: Drone Strike on Iraq's Khor Mor Gas Field Disrupts Kurdistan's Power Grid Under Siege: Drone Strike on Iraq's Khor Mor Gas Field Disrupts Kurdistan's Power Grid Published: November 29, 2025 The Attack That Plunged a Region into Darkness In the early hours of November 27, 2025, an explosive-laden drone struck the Khor Mor gas field in Sulaimani province, Iraqi Kurdistan, igniting a massive fire in a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) storage tank. Operated by UAE-based Dana Gas as part of the Pearl Petroleum consortium, Khor Mor is the lifeline of the region's energy sector, supplying over 80% of the natural gas needed for electricity generation. The strike forced an immediate shutdown of all production and gas exports, triggering widespread blackouts across Kurdistan. Cities like Erbil and Sulaimaniyah were left in the dar...

The Twitter Files: How a Handful of Journalists Exposed the Censorship Machine The Twitter Files: How a Handful of Journalists Exposed the Censorship Machine Published: November 28, 2025 In late 2022, a small group of independent journalists did something no one thought possible: they forced the most powerful government agencies and the world’s biggest social-media company to admit—on the record—that they had been secretly colluding to silence American citizens. This is the story of the Twitter Files —one of the biggest free-speech victories in modern history. What Actually Happened Shortly after buying Twitter in October 2022, Elon Musk invited four journalists—Matt Taibbi, Bari Weiss, Michael Shellenberger, and Lee Fang—to examine the company’s internal communications with zero restrictions. Starting December 2, 2022, they began publishing thread after thread of p...

The Real MK-ULTRA: Prostitutes, Safehouses, LSD, and a Man Thrown Out a 13th-Floor Window The Real MK-ULTRA: Not Hippies. Hookers. Safehouses. Murder. Forget the sanitized Netflix version where the CIA accidentally invented Woodstock. This is the actual, declassified story: the CIA spent two decades and millions of dollars turning American citizens into non-consenting lab rats—dosing them with weaponized LSD in fake brothels, driving a scientist out a 13th-story window, and running torture programs that make waterboarding look gentle. ⚠️ Everything below is documented in declassified CIA, Senate, and DOJ files. Links open in new windows. 1. Operation Midnight Climax – The CIA Ran LSD Brothels The Agency rented luxury apartments in San Francisco and New York, installed two-way mirrors, hired prostitutes on the payroll, and paid them to bring johns back from bars.

The Most Unhinged Declassified CIA Program You’ve (Probably) Never Heard Of They Actually Sewed Goat and Bull Testicles onto Prisoners — And the CIA Paid for It Everyone knows the meme version of MK-ULTRA: LSD, hippies, mind control. That’s the sanitized Disney cut. The part they don’t put in the Netflix documentaries is that the CIA spent decades funding doctors to surgically implant sterilized animal testicles into hundreds of prisoners — mostly Black and Mexican inmates — while simultaneously injecting other prisoners with plutonium. Warning: Everything below is declassified, publicly admitted by the U.S. government, and documented in primary sources linked at the bottom. The Program Almost No One Talks About: MK-ULTRA Subproject 94 & Related Human Radiation Experiments From the 1940s through at least the early 1970s: Doctors at San Quentin, Vacaville, and other prisons were paid by the CIA (through front organizations) to perfor...

The Hidden Cyberwar: Iranian Dam Hacks, Russian Grid Infiltrations, and the Terrifying Evidence Nicole Perlroth Exposed If you’ve read Nicole Perlroth’s outstanding (and honestly terrifying) cybersecurity book This Is How They Tell Me the World Ends (2021), you already know that the U.S. has spent the last decade under near-constant digital assault—mostly in silence. Perlroth documents incidents that, at the time, barely made the news: Iranian breaches of American infrastructure, Russian supply-chain attacks, and a multi-year infiltration of U.S. electrical grids that intelligence officials privately called “GRIZZLY STEPPE.” Below is a clean, verifiable list of the key events, including government documents, indictments, security-firm reports, and video demonstrations—so anyone can dig deeper into what was really happening in the shadows. 1.

COP30 Fire in Brazil: A Textbook “Problem → Reaction → Solution” (With Proof) COP30 Fire in Brazil: A Textbook “Problem → Reaction → Solution” November 20, 2025 Yesterday the climate summit in Belém literally caught fire at the worst possible moment for negotiators… and the best possible moment for those who want permanent global control. 1. The Problem – Perfectly Timed Chaos At 2 p.m. local time, flames erupted in the Blue Zone pavilion. Smoke poured out, 50,000 delegates evacuated, talks froze on the second-to-last day. Reuters: Fire breaks out, venue evacuated Guardian live updates Video of smoke and panic Negotiations were already collapsing: no fossil-fuel phase-out, rich nations blocking the $1 trillion finance goal, deadline missed. Then—bam—fire. 2. The Reaction – Global Outrage on Demand Within hours the narrative was locked in: “The...

The Levitical Shell Game: How Christianity Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bacon The central contradiction in contemporary conservative Christianity is no longer subtle; it is structural. Leviticus is treated as simultaneously obsolete and inerrant, depending on the verse number. Chapter 11 (dietary laws) and chapter 19 (mixed fabrics, rounded haircuts, seed mixing) are declared “ceremonial,” fulfilled in Christ, and therefore non-binding. Chapter 18 and 20 (sexual prohibitions, especially 18:22 and 20:13) are declared “moral,” transcending the Mosaic covenant, and therefore eternally normative. This taxonomy is presented as ancient, obvious, and self-evident. It is none of those things. The tripartite division of the Law (moral / ceremonial / civil) is a post-biblical construct, formalized by Thomas Aquinas in the 13th century and popularized by the Reformers. The Hebrew Bible itself makes no such distinction; all 613 commandments are given equal weight under t...

Understanding the Lone Star Tick Crisis: A Tragic Death, Rising Allergies, and the Bill Gates Conspiracy Theories Posted on November 14, 2025 In a heartbreaking development, a 47‑year‑old New Jersey airline pilot has become the first person ever confirmed to die from alpha‑gal syndrome (AGS) —a rare but increasingly common allergy to red meat triggered by bites from the Lone Star tick. This case, detailed in a new study published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology in Practice , isn’t just a medical milestone—it’s a wake‑up call. What Is Alpha‑Gal Syndrome? The Basics of This “Meat Allergy” How It Happens : The Lone Star tick ( Amblyomma americanum ) picks up alpha‑gal when it feeds on mammals. A bite injects the molecule into humans, priming an allergic reaction to red meat, dairy, and gelatin. Symptoms : Delayed 2–6 hours – hives, nausea, vomiting, anaphylaxis. Often misdiagnosed as IBS or food poisoning....
