People have this old fashioned myth that an image is an array of pixels on your screen. When it has been turned into a spy device that has five different kinds of hidden codes we know about, plus secret watermarks and crap we don't, from who knows how many pieces of hardware and software. Not to mention way more resolution, apparently, than is needed to read the label on a package of cheese.

For all that, we get pictures that you can't paste from one web browser window to another without them turning black and losing features. Because, like "phones", the thing they are supposed to do is such a low priority, behind so many spies in line, that they are gradually losing the ability to do it at all.

Stewart sent the image on EncroChat, an encrypted messaging service used exclusively by criminals that was infiltrated by police in a major operation last year.

This sounds like usual CNN distortion. All encrypted networks are exclusively-criminal, and any who don't toe the globalist line are extremists. It looked as if the BBC article doesn't indict the service itself, but the original story on its infiltration calls it a "crime chat network." From that story:

The system operated on customised Android phones and, according to its website, provided "worry-free secure communications".

Customers had access to features such as self-destructing messages that deleted from the recipient's device after a certain length of time.

Real criminal masterminds selling Androids with custom ROMs.


The moral of the story is: when you take a picture of your cheese, don't hold it in your palm with your fingers splayed out as if you're signalling to your agency handler to recall you from the field. Just my two pence.

A video for you too https://v2.incogtube.com/watch?v=t5UPnuSTRjA

This is a list of scientists who have made statements that conflict with the scientific consensus on global warming as summarized by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and endorsed by other scientific bodies. A minority of them are climatologists.

Nearly all publishing climate scientists (97–98%[1]) support the consensus on anthropogenic climate change

So, because 2-3% of climatologists doubt the findings, that gives them more weight in your opinion than the 97-98%? Climatology isn't a soft science like social sciences, you know?

I'm not against scientific method, I'm against scientific establishment. The cocksuckers who promote agendas for money and power, who suppress genuine research. Those will come up with whatever consensus necessary to saw off all the forests on earth or whatever else satan demands of them.

Despite who this person is, I agree. It is however a difficult issue: where can transgenders compete?

Men->Women transgenders are physically advantaged to bio-women and disadvantaged to bio-men. The inverse applies to Women->Men transgenders. I doubt there are enough transgenders to compete in their own league.

Tough...

Texas' home defense laws are practically, "Fuck around and find out."

Refusal to adhere to non-lethal force or commands while trespassing when the trespasser knows you're armed allows for the use of deadly force. At night, I think it's just "assume every tresspasser is armed".

Plain clothes cops shouldn't be used too often.

It's sort of crazy to think that in this modern era of wireless devices that behind all of them is large scale fiber deployments. Literally countless miles of fiber running from city to city, town to town. Underground, underwater and spanning the ocean to connect continents together.

People don't often stop to think about the actual physical point to point networking involved. The younger generation thinks the internet is just 'wireless' and comes from a box in their living room or from their cellphone. Even crazier when you look at datacenters and the vast amount of energy it takes to keep servers online.
