I can't help but notice that there aren't really any conspiracy theories left. Wait around a few months and all of a sudden they're not theories anymore.

I am really hoping that the world doesn't suddenly go flat.

US Postal Service seeks to delay mail to open new business to Fedex & UPS

A close reading of the article shows that Trump appointee Louis DeJoy is trying to open a window for private competitors to deliver mail faster and more dependably by crippling USPS. One of the shifts is from moving mail by air to trucks. Dejoy's previous company XPO is a major player in the trucking industry.

Another article discusses the difficulty for Biden to remove DeJoy.

Personally, I think the USPS should be going in the direction of innovation: delivering liquor, pot when it's legal, acting as a bank, and other useful functions at their branch offices throughout the country.

I knew something like this was coming. UPS and Fedex will promise rock bottom prices and rapidly increase to the point of crippling small business. A virtual monopoly.
I wonder how much Trump made from this appointment.
If this goes through move your IRA/401k to Fedex and UPS.

Fox’s New Channel Changes the Climate for Weather TV

As viewers tune out cable news, Rupert Murdoch is preparing the debut of Fox Weather, a potentially powerful new player in a sphere long dominated by the Weather Channel.

Vladimir Putin personally authorised a secret spy agency operation to support a “mentally unstable” Donald Trump in the 2016 US presidential election during a closed session of Russia’s national security council, according to what are assessed to be leaked Kremlin documents.

The key meeting took place on 22 January 2016, the papers suggest, with the Russian president, his spy chiefs and senior ministers all present.

They agreed a Trump White House would help secure Moscow’s strategic objectives, among them “social turmoil” in the US and a weakening of the American president’s negotiating position.

Russia’s three spy agencies were ordered to find practical ways to support Trump, in a decree appearing to bear Putin’s signature.


There is a brief psychological assessment of Trump, who is described as an “impulsive, mentally unstable and unbalanced individual who suffers from an inferiority complex”.
There is also apparent confirmation that the Kremlin possesses kompromat, or potentially compromising material, on the future president, collected – the document says – from Trump’s earlier “non-official visits to Russian Federation territory”.

Anti-masker files 1500 page lawsuit written from a bedroom in his mother's house

Lucas Wall, age 44, and vaccinated, has filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court seeking to void mask mandates. Usually residing in DC, he has been marooned in a bedroom of his mother's retirement community home in Florida. Seeking to overwhelm the government response, he has filed a 1500 page brief.

Our state, Oregon, is being hit by delta, and I'm starting to see FB posts from vaccinated friends who have got it.

Q Conspiracy Election Official in Hiding

“Tell her to come out of hiding”: Mesa County clerk hasn’t been home; officials vote to replace election equipment
As three investigations dig into election breach, Tina Peters stays out of state with help from pillow salesman Mike Lindell

By JUSTIN WINGERTER | The Denver Post
PUBLISHED: August 24, 2021 at 4:39 p.m. | UPDATED: August 24, 2021 at 4:49 p.m.

The Mesa County Commission will replace 41 pieces of election equipment that were compromised during an alleged security breach — the latest in a saga that includes a pillow salesman, County Clerk Tina Peters in hiding and QAnon.

The all-Republican commission voted 3-0 to replace its Dominion Voting Systems hardware during a special meeting Tuesday afternoon and extended the county’s contract with Dominion through 2029 at a cost of $825,281.

Thirty-four Mesa County residents spoke to the commission before the vote and all opposed the Dominion contract, quoting from the Declaration of Independence and Scripture as they urged the commission to choose a different equipment company or use hand counts instead of Dominion.

“I find it downright appalling that you are even considering Dominion and their minions,” Diana Larson of Grand Junction said.
“Don’t do this,” Shelley Lucas of Grand Junction said. “Please don’t do this. I pray to God that he gives you the strength to do the right thing.”

The alleged security breach has turned Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, a Republican, into a hero among far-right followers of former President Donald Trump who believe Dominion machines changed vote tallies in the 2020 election and robbed Trump of the presidency. Public speakers during the meeting repeated those conspiracy theories, with some even threatening to vote out any commissioners who approved the contract extension.
Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold, on the other hand, considers Peters to be a rogue clerk who jeopardized the security of election equipment and forced Tuesday’s vote.

Peters has been traveling outside Mesa County since Aug. 10, when she flew to a conspiracy theory symposium in South Dakota hosted by Mike Lindell, the CEO of MyPillow and an election conspiracist. He then arranged for her to stay in Texas but she moved last week after Lindell’s security team leaked details of her whereabouts, he told Vice News.

On Monday, she was interviewed for Lindell’s online show.

“When they decertified my machines — my Dominion machines — I went, ‘Oh, good. That’s great. We will just hand-count the votes (in November).’ Well, they decided to bring in more Dominion machines,” Peters said.

It’s not clear where Peters is now, but she may not be there for long. The clerk told Lindell on Monday that she believes her hotel room was burglarized and Lindell said, “I guess we’re going to have to get you moved again.” He vowed to arrange for private security as well.

It’s also not clear who’s paying for the arrangements; Colorado elected officials cannot receive gifts worth more than $65.

During the hourlong interview on LindellTV.com [?????], Peters said she has doubts that elections in Mesa County, which she has overseen since 2018, were accurately tallied because Republicans won by modest margins in some elections: “Even though we’re a conservative county and we won in certain instances, it wasn’t by as much as we should have.”

The actions of Peters and her office are under investigation by the FBI, Mesa County district attorney’s office and Colorado secretary of state’s office. The latter believes Peters allowed an unauthorized man named Gerald Wood to access a secure area at the county election office on May 25 and that the breach led to election equipment passwords being posted online Aug. 2 by Ron Watkins, a leading figure in the QAnon conspiracy theory. Peters denied that Monday.

“I did not post and I did not authorize anyone to post any election data or software or passwords online,” she told Liddell. Peters acknowledged that surveillance cameras were turned off before the breach but said state law does not require them to be on until 60 days before an election.

Peters also admitted taking a photo of election equipment hard drives. The secretary of state’s office alleged last week it occurred on a Sunday evening, May 25, after the clerk’s office was closed. Images from the county’s hard drives were later displayed at Liddell’s conspiracy theory event.

“I’m wondering what they’re hiding. These are the people’s records. These are the people of Mesa County, they deserve to know what’s in those machines,” Peters said Monday. “I just wonder what they’re hiding, for them to blow up at (me) just taking a photo of their system.”

Colorado Secretary of State Griswold has determined that Peters cannot be trusted to supervise fall elections in Mesa County, when residents will vote on ballot measures and local elected offices.

Griswold appointed Peters’ Republican predecessor, Mesa County Treasurer Sheila Reiner, to oversee the county’s elections on a temporary basis; she cannot replace Peters for good herself.

Meanwhile, the county commission, which believes it has the sole authority to appoint a supervisor, has chosen former Secretary of State Wayne Williams.

Commissioners said Tuesday that Reiner and Williams are working together well. Peters alleged Monday that Reiner “has a history of liberalism and opposition to” her but did not weigh in on Williams, who is also a Republican.
The clerk said she doesn’t “know that much about computers” but believes Dominion machines can be hacked online (Colorado-based Dominion denies this) and that she is being punished for trying to make Mesa County elections more transparent.

“The way I feel right now is that the robber has come into my house and he’s still there,” she said.

Mesa County Commissioner Scott McInnis, a Republican, asked members of the public who know Peters to urge her to return to work.

“Call Tina, tell her to come out of hiding,” he said Tuesday. “Tell her to come home.”

"It’s tough to tell where the money’s coming from because no one in this business would respond to inquiries, but there’s a likely answer. In the social media industry, data is the product. Facebook’s APIs allow me to pull some aggregate data but other methods let me scrape the profiles of people who interact with my posts. I can then collect and analyze their responses to my posts. If I have access to dozens or even hundreds of “affiliated” pages the potential reach becomes vast. Someone appears to be pouring enormous energy and effort into a data collection project aimed at building personality profiles from social media interaction…again. This has been tried before, most prominently by Cambridge Analytica back in 2016."
