Its all coming back to bite Macron.
“FRANCE GRINDS TO A HALT: 800K HIT THE STREETS
Nearly 800,000 workers – from teachers to train operators – just reminded Paris who keeps the lights on.
Schools shuttered, trains stalled, hospitals stretched thin: this was a nationwide timeout for Macron’s budget-cut agenda.
Unions, usually at each other’s throats, locked arms over wages, pensions, and gutted public services. That’s rare… and powerful.
In Lyon and Marseille, tear gas hung over cobblestones as police clashed with protesters.
To the people, France’s social contract isn’t up for auction, even in an age of austerity.
Europe’s elites are watching: if the continent’s protest capital is boiling over budget cuts, who’s next?

After Charlie’s death, countless politicians, teachers, law enforcement personnel, civil servants, librarians, newscasters, professors and other gainfully-employed allegedly *normal* people gleefully took to social media to celebrate his passing simply because they disagreed w/ something he supposedly had said.
Charlie showed up on college campuses like a 21st Century evangelist for his political project and would argue his views w/ anyone: “prove me wrong.”
His views on guns, crime, family, economics, gender ideology and foreign affairs were opinions shared by at least half the country, if not more, and not only conservatives but plenty of independents as well.
A reporter for ABC, Mat Gutman, described Charlie Kirk’s accused assassin as “a love-torn child,” someone who sent “fulsome, robust and touching” text messages to his transitioning partner. Even when asking his beloved to destroy any incriminating evidence, he did so “lovingly” and with a desire to “protect,” all of which contrasted sharply w/ the murder charges brought against him, the network reporter said, and introduced a jarring duality into the accused’s psyche.
It was a bizarre effort to wash the crime the guy is accused of committing in tones of redemption: he is a “love-torn child,” in potentially his first intimate relationship. A protective desire toward his transitioning beloved prompted him to take his grandfather’s rifle to the Turning Point USA rally in order to eradicate the “hate-filled” Charlie.
When reporting the circumstances of an assassination, it’s important to probe not the political aspect of the crime but the endearing emotional qualities of the accused assassin.
ABC’s Matt Gutman was showing viewers how great a murdering dog looks in the tenderest of light.
It was also a way to normalize a public assassination: we understand why the accused might commit a heinous crime, we can relate to why he would do such a thing. It was because he wanted to protect his trans lover from Charlie Kirk’s political project.
One of the accused’s friends from the Discord server chat said, “I don’t know what makes a person like him decide he’s going to drive 260 miles upstate to shoot someone like Charlie Kirk, then come back like nothing happened. It leaves a lot of room for speculation.”
The accused wrote in one of the text messages to his beloved, “It had to be done.” The matter of fact assessment of the act is in itself disturbing.
One could say that he does not see the immorality of the act.
That’s the mentality of a murdering dog.
Charlie shared his ideas, while an assassin waited for an opportunity to kill.
It’s as if Charlie was in an unannounced battle-to-the-death, but of course Charlie did not know this, because his enemy never announced it. His enemy preferred to ambush.

Sounds about right.
“The EU wants to steal Russian assets without calling it theft. For example, using Russian assets to buy zero-interest EU bonds
– The consequence is that the EU cannot afford to end the conflict, as it cannot pay back the stolen funds. Also, the world will never again trust the EU”

RE: Macron is in a world of hurt

100% everything you mentioned.
And there's this:
Macron & Brigitte will present "photographic evidence" which proves that Brigitte is actually a woman and not a man, as Candace Owens has stated.
“We’re prepared to demonstrate fully, both generically and specifically, that what Owens is saying about Brigitte Macron is false."
Candace has said of Brigitte, "You were born with a penis, and you will die with one."
Of all the horrid spectacles with which we, at this juncture of the 21st Century, must endure, the "generic and specific" evidence the Macrons tender forth will not improve matters.

A DNA test would clear it all up, but it would be more than likely – that the DNA swab would be swapped for one that definitely has a woman’s DNA on it, its all very Michelle Obama-esque in nature.

RE: a DNA test for Brigitte could prove her biological sex, but even a DNA test can be corrupted

Freak show to the maz-!
When DJT first met Brigitte in 2017—the Paris trip for Bastille Day—he shook her hand and also simultaneously pulled her in close w/ his left hand on her deltoid muscle. His immediate unchecked response was, "Whoah-! You must really work out. You're in great shape." He patted the are where Brigitte's deltoid joined the biceps.
In other words, DJT seemed admiring of her *hard body* but also taken aback.
Brigitte was 71 at the time. No women of 71 has a *hard body* physique.
Maybe it wasn't until early 2018 that rumors about Brigitte began to swirl more broadly beyond France. Bolsonaro insulted "Macron's wife," for instance, calling her ugly.
So I always harkened back to DJT's initial response in greeting Brigitte. If you expect to partially embrace a 71 year old woman, you have a certain mind-set. When you instead discover that the 71 year old woman is *ripped* you alter your expectations on the fly.

John Gilberts | Sep 18 2025 17:30 utc | 6–
At the outset, it’s more about how/why the Outlaw US Empire is declining in its ability to finance its Empire of Bases and thus its basis for hegemony. That then segues to the fallacy of Trump’s polices as a whole. As a complement to that chat, Infobrics has published “The Great Reset and BRICS Nations: Challenging Global Dollar Dominance” with the following being its long subtitle:

The term “Great Reset” has gained significant traction in global economic and political circles, representing a potential transformation in how economies function and interact. Meanwhile, the BRICS alliance has positioned itself as a counterbalance to Western financial dominance. Together, these developments signal profound changes that could reshape the global economic landscape for decades to come.

As Hudson noted in Super Imperialsim, much of US overseas military expenditures were not budgeted as they were paid via the balance of payments because access to the US market was deemed existential for most nations, which meant they needed to obtain dollars to purchase US goods. That situation stayed that way until the first decade of the 21st Century when China rapidly displaced the US and the world’s #1 trading nation. Nations now know they don’t need access to the US market to survive economically. So, over the last 25 years, dedollarization has slowly accelerated to the point where it’s now become impossible for the Empire to keep its overseas bases off-budget. Along with that is the change in the nature of warfare, which has rendered most of the US Navy obsolete. Plus, the Empire lacks the new types of hypersonic missiles to arm any new naval ships with, and we’ve seen the utterly woeful performance of what the Empire deems its best Air Defense systems. So, Trump is trying to force the nations the Empire’s military occupies to pay tribute so they can remain there, although there’s nothing those forces can do. For example, Venezuela has over 30 million people while the US Marines floating offshore consist of maybe 4,000. Many see that as far too few and what’s additional as also too few. The population of Vietnam during the war was about the same–30 million–and the US lost. The US lost most of its gold supply waging Vietnam; it currently has no way to spend the amount it would need to attempt a Venezuelan invasion and occupation.
The only way out of the massive hole the last 55 years of misgovernance has dug is to increase taxes on all forms of rent and upper-level incomes: One billion ought to be plenty. But given the reality of political control, that won’t happen; so, the hole will get deeper still and Trump will continue to search for scapegoats.

This is a typical MAGA lie. Consider the now-notorious—or should be—verbatim quote “You do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person’s slot to go be taken somewhat seriously.” This is racist crap. (It is stupid to pretend that this was okay because it was aimed at four specific Black women! See moron Dean Miller at https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/fact-check-charlie-kirk-quote-082017036.html)
The kind of left-wing so-called hate speech Trump cultists falsely claim incited the murder of Charlie Kirk is precisely the kind of hate speech Charlie Kirk directed against multitudes of people. Anyone who listened to another scumbag expounding great replacement theory knew Charlie Kirk was inciting hatred and fear against untold numbers of people. Jacobin was amusing (for once!) when it put up an article comparing Charlie Kirk’s good stage manners with the equally good stage manners of George Lincoln Rockwell.
The complete dishonesty of the Trump cultists is exposed by the Jimmy Kimmel suppression. Kimmel did not celebrate Kirk’s murder. As near as I can make out, Kimmel’s real offense was showing a clips of Trump sliding past remarks on Kirk to brag about the White House ballroom. Comparing Trump’s grief to a four year old’s over a dead guppie was much too accurate, therefore funny.

Trump is insane and you seem to have joined him.
So on first meeting with a 71 year old woman Trump sexually assaulted her? And then talked about having done so? Previously I had considered the sexual accusations against Trump to be invalid(perhaps some lies but many false memories) but now I’m starting to revise my opinion..
And no, it’s not true that “no 71 year old woman is ripped”. Rippedness comes in various degrees and some 71 y.o. women are certainly “ripped”.

I really wish the left and right could come together, but that would mean concessions from both sides to find common ground on the important things.
For instance: closed borders and deportations traded for single-payer Healthcare.
Basically you have an inward-looking dynamic where we encounter the question of Being on a national level. You can call this National Socialism or whatever you want.
Basically, we pick up where the Nazis went wrong.
Der Spiegel’s interview of Martin Heidegger: “(So basically, we are saying that National Socialism) was the last, worst, strongest and, at the same time, weakest protest against this encounter between “planetary technicity” and modern man?”
The right: a collection of urban-weary freaks being led by a Jewish noose.
The left: deranged to a murderous degree and who are necromancers of identity in a post-capitalist (communist, too) world.
Just today, in my neck of the woods, I saw a curious article about ICE deporting an illegal and the local school offering its protection from this lawful enforcement…the kicker: the school was named “Cesar Chavez” (who advocated for the immediate deportation of wetbacks and who railed against the exploitation of the labor class through the importing of alien labor).
Meanwhile…Gaza.
Can I invoke Rodney King here?

Thanks for your reply. The only housing our children can afford despite their having decently paying jobs are trailers/mobile homes/manufactured homes on a leased lot. And they live in three separate states: Oregon, Tennessee and Georgia. Our grandkids face the same dilemma and perhaps worse given the tanking/excessive expense of higher education within America. You ought to be able to understand why “inflating the debt away” isn’t very attractive to me or in the interests of my family–and not just my family, many millions of families. Unfortunately, the parents of those millions of families are blind to/ignorant of the near future they’ll be confronting. And currently there’s no major political party that’s fighting for their interests–I say major because there are small parties that are doing so here in Oregon.

This is a good point, karlof1, that I haven’t seen expressed anywhere else. It makes me wonder, was the fact that Qatar’s US military base is so large and so central a reason for its choice as a target? Is Trump looking to provide a reason for nations NOT to want to host US bases? Those are silly questions, I know, but isn’t that going to be the outcome?
In which case, the ability of the US military to ‘oversee’ so much carnage will be called into question. To me, that can’t happen soon enough.

America exists by preying on the world. The American eagle – a bird or prey. A predator. You pray, the Americans prey.

Why did a regular seeming college age guy decide he needed to kill a person he didn’t like? That question has been a preoccupation for pundits and journalists, politician and podcasters, and everyone else for a week now. This was predicted a few years ago after seeing what was being taught by the liberal establishment through their media, schools, and entertainment including podcasters and influencers, since around 2012 right after the Occupy Wall Street movement ended:
“Whomever challenges the new Corporate and Democrat party identity based corporate/political agendas and decrees — they are now treated as a de facto part of the worst identity group of all: white supremacist authoritarian extremists. Even if you are not white. You may hold traditional leftist views, you may work to help the needy and downtrodden, you may call yourself a socialist or even a communist, but if you challenge the “Good Ally” people and agendas of the Corporate world/Democrat Party — you are a white supremacist nazi extremist who must be stopped by any and all methods. What to speak of if your political and cultural sensibilities are on the conservative end of the spectrum. Then you are their declared super-enemy, whom they will seek to destroy no matter what.” From The New Progressive World Order

My thought: Charlie had a clear & sober perspective on 2A, as do a lot of pro-gun aficionados.
The chances of being ambushed from 200 ft do not undercut the importance of 2A.
In fact, the chances of being ambushed in an undeclared war do not in any way invalidate 2A.
Plenty of 2A aficionados would simply say such a climate strengthens the core rationale of 2A.

Thanks for your reply. The bases in Qatar weren’t targeted. The Hamas negotiating team was in a residential district of Doha which is where the attack was made but they weren’t there at the time. The forces in those bases aided the attack, which is the main reason for the outrage. Trump wasn’t angry at the Zionists for the raid; he was angry because the targets were missed.
As for your second question, since the Empire can’t keep those bases off-budget any longer, Trump and Biden before him have demanded the “host” nations pay for their occupation, which causes those nations to question why they need protection. The nation questioning the most is South Korea, which again sent Foreign Minister Cho Hyun to China yesterday for further talks. There are two key Global Times articles about that, “S.Korea hits out the US in rare criticism, says it’s ‘not the same’ ally: media reports” and “S.Korean FM departs for China visit, saying ‘China is a very important neighbor”. I expect to see further news related to that visit tomorrow. Hudson outlined the issue again at the start of today’s chat with Wolff and Nima.

Imperial bases are down under because the Aussies were forced to pay for them. They wouldn’t be there if the Empire had to pay for them. Aussies have the same problem as South Korea: ‘security depends on the United States and economy depends on China’ as President Lee recently stated. Unification would bring Korea independence. Unfortunately, Australia will probably remain a colony until the Outlaw US Empire dies.

RE: so on first meeting a 71-year old Brigitte Macron Trump assaulted her-?
<<
Of course DJT did not assault Mrs. Macron.
DJT respectfully reached out to Brigitte as Emmanuel introduced the two, and there was the customary light body contact familiar to anyone who has seen European leaders double-kiss the wives of their prime minister counterparts.
DJT's *body contact* w/ Brigitte fell within that socially-accepted parameter.
In July of 2017, when DJT first met Brigitte, he seemed taken aback by the musculature he found in this light, non-extended body contact w/ Mrs. Macron.
DJT reacted to this in the moment.
Je uttered a "Whoah."
The reaction was spontaneous.
This was before rumors about Brigitte had reached American shores.
DJT's surprise was unmistakable, nonetheless.
At the time, I thought maybe he was super-complimenting the 71-year old wife of his friend and acknowledging her level of fitness.
There was nothing sexual/predatory in his comment.
Within a year, as rumors about Brigitte began to stir stateside, I flashed on DJT's very first encounter w/ Mrs. Macron, which included light but etiquettely respectful physical contact, and his unexpectedly candid response in the moment.
All I'll say is, DJT's spontaneous response stuck w/ me.
Keep in mind, too, that DJT has never asserted that Brigitte was born a man: Candace Owens has.
Word is, Macron told DJT back in February to tell Candace to knock it off.
Candace did not.

Nah Peter it is transparent dross to protect Trump from the Epstein story. You’re a grown person surely you can see this is salacious gossip
What does it matter, what the Macron’s story is. As long.as it was all consensual – it doesn’t compare to the over a thousand victims identified by Trump’s DOJ, raped and trafficked by Maxwell and Jeff

“The USA is rapidly degenerating to totalitarian fascism, and the thing that people are losing sleep over is some transgender army hiding under their beds.”
They aren’t hiding under beds, they are doing school shootings and assassinations. A lot of them in last ten years.
“Now we’ve got a fake construct called “trantifa” to go along with another fake construct “woke”, and you all just get led around by the nose, doing the fascist oligarchs work for them.”
I came up with “trantifa” unless someone can come up with an earlier reference. They are very real, as evidenced by the trail of dead bodies behind them.
And, by lots of documented cases in the US, the whole tranny thing is inseparable from the antifa thing. WOKE has already been proven to be a real thing ad nauseum, so I don’t have to get into that here .
Trannies don’t exist, they are nothing but mentally ill men in dresses. But since it’s the current bogus term, I’ll use trantifa so they get it.
You probably need to get out of the sun down there.
Violent trans antifa freaks is a thing. They kill real people with real violence.
They need to be institutionalized.

“… The bases in Qatar weren’t targeted. The Hamas negotiating team was in a residential district of Doha which is where the attack was made but they weren’t there at the time. The forces in those bases aided the attack, which is the main reason for the outrage. Trump wasn’t angry at the Zionists for the raid; he was angry because the targets were missed.
As for your second question, since the Empire can’t keep those bases off-budget any longer, Trump and Biden before him have demanded the “host” nations pay for their occupation, which causes those nations to question why they need protection. The nation questioning the most is South Korea, which again sent Foreign Minister Cho Hyun to China yesterday for further talks. There are two key Global Times articles about that, “S.Korea hits out the US in rare criticism, says it’s ‘not the same’ ally: media reports” and “S.Korean FM departs for China visit, saying ‘China is a very important neighbor”. I expect to see further news related to that visit tomorrow. Hudson outlined the issue again at the start of today’s chat with Wolff and Nima…”

Many thanks, karlof1. I did understand the situation — just sloppy writing on my part. The ‘it’ in my post was referring to Qatar in general, not the base itself.
I just went quickly through b’s post on the subject, to the beginning of the second page. Comments there are very helpful, especially the discussion moving to the relationship between India and Pakistan.
I want to add that I do hope that relationship will resolve itself positively. When I was beginning high school, my father absented himself from our family by joining the UN for 18 months, based in Sirinagar, Kashmir. It is my recollection that during that time he enjoyed friendly relations with both sides, especially since Tenzin and Edmund Hilary had recently climbed Mount Everest. He was therefore obliged to do more mountain climbing himself, (though at much lower levels!) Anyway, if those two countries could bury the hatchet, that would be wonderful.

Re: “No women of 71 has a *hard body* physique.”
Not true. It depends on one’s activities and conditions of living. If one is physically active from an early age and keeps on keeping on, and also maintains other aspects of health via diet etc., then this is possible although not likely in many modern cultures.
Vigor and strength decreases as one ages, of course, but how fast this occurs is conditional. Needless to say some male hormones make it easier for some men compared to women to maintain vigor into old age.
But that is not the entire picture. How much and which activities? Diet? Mind health? Sleep? Etcetera…
i have jogged, lifted light weights and done meditative exercises regularly since forever — besides doing physical labour which is probably much more contributive to vigor imo, and have a “hard body physique” after over two score and ten years of inhabiting this crazy place where beauty reigns and brutality challenges.
That said, Candance may have hit at the heart of one of the elite’s many scams of dishonesty. I dunno.

RE: Does it matter if Brigitte is MAB (male at birth)? Who cares but grifters and pervs?
<<
Mrs. Macron's biologically-assigned sex is unimportant.
What's important is the obfuscation.
Our current geopolitical straits find us serially lied-to by The Powers That Be, including their colluding media reps. In that those Powers push forward leaders who are serially compromised by pedophilia, drug use and sex addiction, the lies/obfuscations have aligned sufficiently to form a Zord (think Power Rangers) of iniquity, nefariousness & debauchery.
Candace has latched onto the controversy dogging Mrs. Macron as an example of just that. Indeed, Candace has taken it up as her hill to die on.
You, will moon, say "Surely of more relevance is Macron’s policies?"
To which I would respond that Candace is asserting that Macron's *policies* are inseparable in tenor & validity from the lies/obfuscations that swirl around the public life he has fashioned w/ his wife.
Moreover, Macron's own drug use, mixed in perhaps w/ other high-class pecadillos, sets the stage for supreme lapses in judgement, supreme failings, supreme bulljive.
Consider how diminished Macron's policies are in light of this.
Consider how his policy, to privilege a neo-Nazi project in Ukraine, has hollowed out, even abandoned, the domestic scene in France.
It's fine to probe Macron's lapse in attentiveness, policy-wise, concerning the French people alongside the peculiar state of affairs regarding his marital life.
There's a saying: you're the same in the boardroom as in the bedroom.
It means you're congruent.
You're the same person, acting the same way, regardless of where you're at.
Something is jarringly incongruous about Macron.
If, with him, we've entered the Uncanny Valley of Ethical Relativism, it's okay to examine that.

DJT was taken aback.
He was responding to something unexpected.
It was a strange moment, there & gone, that stuck in my memory. Once inquiries concerning Mrs. Macron hit American shores, that transitory moment became all the more salient.
Candace did the leg-work on the topic, but even her research is based on a book a French author published 15 years ago in France.

By the way
It is conceivable that Brigitte macron was born one of those rare people who are in fact hermaphrodites. if so WHAT BLOODY BUSINESS is it of any one else other than her husbands (she has had two).
The interest people have in others sex lives is prurient and disgusting. cheap peeping toms.
Macron is a rather pathetic weak man who does the bidding of his banking masters. What he does in the bedroom is irrelevant.
Let me say this especially to those of you from the US where this sort of obsession seems rampant:
I thought that when the Republicans used the Monica Lewinski stuff to impeach Clinton is was disgusting and bordering on treasonous
I though when the democrats used sexual innuendo lawfare against trump is was disgusting and bordering on treasonous
When people questioned the gender of Michelle Obama it was just sick, sick, sick
Now the same about mrs Macron. pathetic .
Sure we can all have a laugh at Mrs Macron punching little Emmy in the face, because it shows him in a subservient role and was in public. That is a far cry from peeping through the window into his bedroom.

My attempt to get beyond all the Charlie Kirk heat and light and look at the underlying reality of the drive toward a fascist authoritarianism with the Kirk murder just being used as a tool to help this process along, Trump’s move to ban the mythical “ANTIFA” will just facilitate a disciplining of alternative voices. The full court press to silence anyone who questions the official narrative of Kirk and his murder is exercising a basic part of any authoritarian regime.
Then add in Ellison’s (founder of Oracle) son’s purchase of Paramount (Paramount pictures and CBS), and soon to be bid for WBD (Warner Brother Studios and CNN), and Ellison’s stake in TikTok. Together with Musk’s ownership of Twitter, this closes off a huge chunk of media space within far-right extremist oligarchs. Ellison is also noted as a great friend of Israel.

Salt meat and nitrate. Green veg like celery and spinach are exceptional high in potassium nitrate. They can be used just like potassium nitrate and salt to cure meat.
I just salt it rather than cure it. The smell of salt fermentation is something I have not got used to. Bought some traditionally brewed soy sauce and some traditionally brewed anchovy sauce and both had that smell.
With this mammal meat allergy, I can really only eat birds, fish, and I assume reptiles. Fish I have never been overly fond of, and I’m a bit past chasing lizards around in the bush so supermarket chicken it is.
I usually bought the supermarket brand chickens and they are crap. Heaps of fat. Free range chicken is about 50% premium but I bought a couple from the supermarket to try. Two different brands and after parting them out, both where miles ahead of the cheap supermarket brands.
The breasts and thighs I salt. 5% the weight of the cuts. The salt mix – one third sodium salt, to thirds potassium salt then rocket fuel at 2% of the salt mix. Give them a few days to salt through, either rubbed or brined, then boil in salt water. Lasts for yonks in the fridge and tastes good.
Cant buy the stuff here in oz but a few years back I got on ebay and bought some high purity ‘stump remover’. I was thinking of making some rockets to fire a fishing line out into the sea. Cook up sugar and potassium nitrate and you have quite handy rocket fuel.

Sums it up well. Which comes first, the Great Reset or Great Replacement?Or both?
MFH lot rates have exploded in the US with Wall St. buying up single family homes and mobile home parks, 100s of billions financed by the public at .1-.3 % interest loans. With inflation at 6%, the holding costs become even less. Not accounting for appreciation of values (an artificial bubble), the debt service becomes (approximately) 6% minus .2% equals 5.8% less each year.
Your family members might want to consider buying a suitable individual lot and placing a MFH. They have improved significantly over the decades. They can migrate out of the cabal willed rentier class. Apologies if I misunderstood and they have already done so.
One of the economic advantages in the US is the favored real estate laws. I consider them along with the 1st and 2nd amendments to be forces against the dystopian combined corporate/govt. bureaucracy. The left right divide being similar to a Punch & Judy puppet show.

If Graham, Macron, Obama, Trudeau and many, many other western world leaders are all so obviously homosexual, and were not simultaneously chameleons, it would shift politics because the majority normies would see that instead of a persecuted minority, they form an elitist club. That might lead to further uncomfortable questions of elitist religious clubs. The Globohomos.
The sexual dynamics of 10s of millions mostly young male immigrants (about 95%) into the west changes the sexual marketplace value of native straight males. Native homosexual men get a bonanza of cheap sexual opportunities. Native house wives and single females also friendly benefit from easy ‘workers’ who perform traditional male functions.
It is incredibly ironic that feminists, and all MSM really, never point out the incredibly sexist, misogynistic immigration bias that is overwhelmingly male. For some reason…
It is really not a surprise that US women frequently state “We do not need men”. They do not ‘see’ any man who is under a 7 out of 10 due to hypergamy tendencies. A Youtuber named Hoemath produces surprisingly nuanced and insightful videos on the topic.
Unseen sexual dynamics do under pin politics. LGZ spectrum issue politics are being promoted openly and clandestinely. The cross dressing fad ultimately crossing into assassination and mass shootings have a source. In a republic it needs to be brought into the light.

You are deluded. Men increase their height and strength primarily to be more sexually successful. Women enhance their esthetics for sexual appeal. Cross dressers have mixed neural wiring, and they think looking like the other sex gives them more attractiveness in the respective LGZ community.
You are rationalizing hidden agendas.
I get it, you and they/them have in the past been persecuted. And all the biological disruptors such as Atrazine and BPA additives have a parallel with the British Navy use of Saltpeter. The skyrocketing rates of LGZ and cross dressing persons has a physical basis.
If one genuinely cares about the continuation of the human species, vs. individual whims and desires, policies and agendas need to promote healthy procreation. And LGZ is an evolutionary dead end.
The 40%? suicide rate of ‘trans’ persons is made up of, in my mind, many individual tragedies. It is very sad to me personally. All that small fortune spent on surgeries and permanent chemical castration does not improve the hapless patient/victim. It is money that could have been spent elsewhere with better results. Part of it is imo that they are going against an eternity of biology imperative to procreate. It is also Meta in the sense that they explicitly end, which in a biological continuation ends at the end of their life. Same result in the long run.
I can not speculate on spiritual rebirth or death.
There was a book called the Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds written around 1845. It wrote of the past Alchemists attempt to trans-mutate lead into gold and how in the 1850 modern age it was all so absurd. Next century was the discovery of radioactivity, and unknown elements actually did trans-mutate into other elements! And it could be induced.
If we last long enough, perhaps there will some day be true ‘trans’ people who can actually change into the other sex, kind of like the Face Dancers in the Frank Herbert Dune series.
As of today, the whole movement is as truly successful as the Alchemists of yore.

As a matter of fact peter I believe in the “selfish gene” theory of evolution. Homosexuality, along with menopause are perfectly rational evolutionary solutions to problems such that while the individual may not procreate anymore, they act in society to help the survival of their near relatives.
You could write a mathematical equation to give the ideal no of homosexuals in a tribe to best ensure the survival of the founder’s genes. Now in the case of menopause it is bleeding obvious. Older woman at 40 stops breeding but by gathering food and imparting wisdom and doing a bit of child care, she ensures more of her grandchildren survive than would otherwise have done if she continued to bear children, especially given the increasing risk of child birth in ageing.
It is more of a stretch but still entirely rational about the value of homosexuality to a community as a whole, especially if the society is warlike or lives under threat. In a normal human tribe we are largely polygamous ie the stronger, clever males get almost all the girls and their weaker brothers or cousins get nothing. Now in some animal communities the males wander off (or fewer are born to start with) but in humans we have equal numbers. Now the tribe needs warriors to protect them from the hostile neighbors, but if the stronger males are squabbling over the girls and maybe killing each other the gene pool does not gain much. However if a good proportion of the warrior males are happy in each other’s company, peace is maintained and the gay warriors get to save the lives of their young nieces and nephews. There is evidence that the chances of being homosexual increase with the more older brothers one has, something about the male hormones affecting the mother and sons.
So Peter stop being a bit of a smartarse about it. Plenty of gays in the animal kingdom – just think about our very near relatives, the Bonobo Chimps (not the circus ones a different species). Very woke that lot are. into pedophilia too – they use sex like males use handshakes.

Agree with watcher – the whole thing is a tittilating distraction, not really worthy of Candace’s talents and a stupid ditch to die in – and it looks like she will. She could have been so much more use to the world than this.
However, instead of turning to the bread and circus of football, you would do better to watch the unfolding authoritarian crackdown in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination – the new 9/11 morphing into Gladio III.
Be afraid, they are coming for the wrong thinkers…

Amusingly another fool pushing the story last week at Moon of Alabama told me “crimes as serious as identity theft might be involved”

The “fool” you are talking about was trying to be polite because this is almost too gross to spell out. Even if it’s only a rumour – I have to say it is my favourite conspiracy rumour at present, because it is so colorful – there’s a rumour going round that Brigitte is, in fact, Macron’s own father, while the original Brigitte has vanished without a trace long time ago.

Homosexuality is something that does no occur in nature It is something that can only be seen in humans and a few domesticated animals. Humans by and large are domesticated animals.

The stump remover is usually sodium metabisulphite (beloved of amateur gold refiners, amongst others).
Agree on chicken, pay the extra for free range and eat every bit of it.
Save the bones and skin and make chicken stock that way you get every pennies’ worth of good nutrition.

“ In a republic it needs to be brought into the light.”
Does this mean you give child sex traffickers a pass, like the President?
Many allegations of serious sex crimes against Trump, Clinton etc are being brushed under the carpet right now.
Did you see Thomas Massie fingering the leader of Barkley’s Bank in Congress the other day. He said this criminal received trafficked victims from Epstein, there were twenty others on the list he had he didn’t identify. He doesn’t work for Israel like all the rest of the traitorous grifters.who “claim” to govern. If all the rest of the legislators stopped working for AIPAC maybe it could be a republic. BTW The Zion Don hates the only patriot in Congress, Thomas Massie
I think you’ll find you live in oligarchy controlled by AIPAC not a republic and focusing on Brigitte Macron rather than the depraved scum like Trump or Clinton who are in leadership positions seems at best ridiculous and at worse beyond sinister
