Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Headed for a Derivative Meltdown – Bill Holter
In closing, Holter warns, “The problem is there is very little collateral left. Everything has been borrowed against already." Holter is not alone in his thinking about huge risk in the system. It appears billionaire investors Jeff Gundlach and Ray Dalio agree with Holter and they are warning of liquidity problems. https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/two-investing-titans-issue-same-warning For the first time in their successful careers, they are both buying physical gold.

Yup! Hold the fucking line!
Notice how quite all the people pushing the insurrection on Jan 6 are awfully quiet after the pipe bomber was arrested.

Dan Bongino says he was “horrified” after reading some of the Crossfire Hurricane documents once he became Deputy Director of the FBI.
“I’ve written books on this. I’m pretty well versed in what happened. Multiple books on this. But when you see it from the other side, it was just different.
I mean what these people in prior administrations did to this country, Sean. To decimate and destroy faith in these institutions.
I just hesitate to think of where we would be right now with a different President in charge.”
You really think this guy doesn’t want to see people held accountable for their crimes?
I pray every night this POS stops breathing.

ELIMINATE the INCOME TAX with tariffs, just like President William McKinley did in 1897 — and President Trump is following in his exact footsteps.
The Dingley Tariff Act of 1897, which was the centerpiece of President William McKinley’s domestic economic policy. He believed in protectionism (using high tariffs to protect American industries and workers from foreign competition).
Just like President Trump.
Between 1897–1901 the United States had just become the wealthiest and highest-output economy on EARTH, surpassing the United Kingdom as the world’s #1 manufacturing nation and #1 economy in total GDP By 1900 U.S. industrial production was roughly equal to that of Britain, Germany, and France COMBINED.
Taxation without representation is unconstitutional and ILLEGAL. We, The People are now finally coming to grips with the illusions that have been installed around us our entire lives.
Who is the FED? What is the FED? How did the FED come to fruition? What is the Titanic?
Who was on the Titanic? What year? Those illusions are now dissolving.
The “Golden Age of America” truly is among us.
There is a plan to restore our country.
Gods plan is playing out right now.

USAID workers encrypting files & COLOR REVOLUTIONS.
Before President Trump took office USAID officials secretly migrated internal government communications OFF of official systems onto encrypted signal chats.
They refused to handover all internal communications and USAID files to the Trump administration.
They were taken to court and ordered by a judge to hand over the files and they still refused.
They encrypted all the USAID files and internal communications because it would expose the paper trail, the players, and everything happening today.
Every single NGO, shell company, and person, including government workers, involved in the active color revolution that's taking place right now on U.S. soil and the Trump administration and U.S. taxpayers are paying for all of it.
To this day the files and internal communications are still encrypted. Tons of other evidence was shredded and destroyed.

HOW OBAMA BUILT THE KILLING MACHINE TRUMP IS NOW DRIVING IN VENEZUELAThere's a lot of outrage right now about Trump’s strikes... but here’s the part no one in the political class speaks out loud:
Trump isn’t operating outside the system.
He’s operating inside the one Barack Obama built.
The “war on narco-terrorists” that Secretary Hegseth is bragging about is being run on a legal foundation poured years before Trump ever touched the Oval Office desk.
Obama normalized the presidential kill list.
He campaigned in 2008 promising rule of law, transparency, and restraint.
He delivered a tenfold increase in drone strikes; a White House “Terror Tuesday” meeting where officials literally flipped through PowerPoint slides picking who lived or died; and a legal doctrine allowing the president to kill U.S. citizens without trial, notice, or judicial review.
That doctrine - once unthinkable - is now standard operating procedure.
Obama’s Director of National Intelligence openly admitted in 2010 that the administration was targeting Americans based on vague criteria like whether a citizen was “involved” in a group “trying to attack us.”
That's not evidence... that's vibes.
When civil-liberties groups sued to force the government to explain the legal basis, Obama declared the entire matter a state secret.
Meaning: the president could now kill you, and no court was allowed to ask why.
The judiciary rubber-stamped it. Both parties embraced it. And the public largely applauded it.
Then came the Awlaki killings.
Obama ordered the drone assassination of:
• Anwar al-Awlaki, an American cleric
• Samir Khan, an American citizen standing next to him
• Awlaki’s 16-year-old son, killed two weeks later at a café
The White House smeared the kid as a “21-year-old terrorist.”
The next week a birth certificate proved he was a Colorado teenager with zero ties to extremism.
The administration shrugged.
Obama famously told aides: “Turns out I’m really good at killing people.”
And Washington - media, political class, and voters - rewarded him.
Fast-forward to 2025. Trump isn’t inventing anything new in Venezuela.
He’s using the exact precedents Obama left behind:
Unreviewable executive kill authority, expanded definitions of “enemy combatant,” secret memos.
No congressional oversight, no geographic limits, zero court supervision.
Obama created the kill switch. Trump just slammed it.
If you cheered the drone program when your guy was doing it, you already endorsed what's happening now.
If you let the government redefine due process as “whatever we decide in secret,” you already consented to the next president weaponizing that power.
And if you normalize extrajudicial force abroad, eventually it comes home.
Obama built the architecture. Trump moved in.
And Venezuela is learning what happens when a precedent meets a president with fewer brakes.

@JamesOKeefeIII undercover footage of Former Rep Ilhan Omar coworker saying Ilhan Omar came up with paying people for votes
“She's (Ilhan Omar) the one who came up with all this (pay to vote)”
Ilhan Omar campaign staffers become precinct managers AND COUNT THE VOTES
“Ilhan and this group, they spent a lot of money”
“So, the people that work for Ilhan (0mar) are actually counting the ballots, counting the vote?”
“They (Ilhan Omar's campaign staffers) become a manager, in the precinct too.”
Somalians who don’t speak English are also told out how to vote
“They walk with you to the booth and then they vote. Oh, vote this guy, vote this guy, vote this guy. Vote - even if you speak English.”
They are on camera in this video paying people $200-$800 per vote and telling them how to fill out the ballots

OPINION: WHY AMERICA MUST BECOME A MARS NATION
History is merciless to leading civilizations that forget how to lead.
From 1961 to 1969 the United States spent the modern equivalent of $280 billion, 4 % of the federal budget, and mobilized 400,000 people to place twelve humans on the Moon.
And the bonus prizes?
The computer chip in your phone, GPS, even the foil blankets firefighters use; all came out of that one crazy push.
Fast-forward to now.
We spend more money paying interest on debt than we spend on every science project combined.
NASA gets less than half of one percent of the federal budget (think of it as the change you find in the couch).
The next time an American is supposed to walk on the Moon?
Meanwhile, down in South Texas, something wild is happening.
In 2025 SpaceX flew Starship eleven times and caught the booster out of the sky like it was nothing.
One Starship can carry more cargo than the entire Space Shuttle program did in thirty years, for a tiny fraction of the price.
The cost to put a pound in orbit is crashing faster than cell-phone prices did in the 2000s.
The rocket works.
The factories are scaling.
The only thing missing is spreading this excitement at a national scale.
The spaceship to Mars is already here and it’s literally getting better every month.
Civilizations do not decline because they lack resources; they decline when they lose the nerve to wager them on the next frontier.
A big enough asteroid, a bad solar storm, a runaway virus, or just one mistake in a lab, and the whole human experiment can be over in a weekend.
It’s happened to 99.9 % of every species that ever lived.
The next generation needs to get excited about the most important frontier humanity has endeavored to reach, Mars.
