Centuries ago, someone invented this magnificent instrument, and another created this breathtaking piece of music. Now, we get to witness such a brilliant performance. Life truly is a miracle.💖

Many of you still think soldiers die like heroes in clean, decisive moments. This footage from Height 105-106 shows the actual pattern: short, brutal close encounters in trenches and treelines where both sides take heavy losses in seconds. The foreign volunteers (US, Canadian and others) who went into Alfa and Bravo did not stroll in as invincible veterans; they closed with the enemy under fire, cleared positions, and finished the fight at arm’s length. Officials on both sides will call the dead martyrs or heroes. That is a cliché that softens reality for people who have never watched these frames.
This is not the Middle East style of engagement most Western veterans trained for. Iraq and Afghanistan experience does not automatically transfer. Standard training and past tours do not prepare you for the density of fires, the constant drone threat, and the pure infantry meat-grinder of these European fields. You can be a veteran of Kandahar or Fallujah and still not last long if you trust only old skills. As the Afghan proverb says: everyone is gang until they go to Kandahar. The ones who actually went into those trenches found out quickly that talk and prior service do not change the arithmetic of short-range killing. Most of the fallen on either side were not dying as storybook heroes. They were simply there when the next burst of fire arrived.

SLD (Supercooled Liquid Droplets) icing causing a loss of control and an over speed on the airframe and there's not much you're gonna do to come back from that.
SLD icing is particularly bad because it accumulates faster than the anti ice can deal with and even worse it can accumulate behind where the anti ice is located making it ineffective. The air temp was -47c which is -52.6f and yes the SLD can happen near those temps and it's pretty scary because it's liquid droplets until it hits the wing and builds up ice hundreds of pounds in moments which reduces lift and causes a loss of control authority.

My thoughts on the Lear 60 crash here in Palm Beach country.
God bless the crew and passengers.

This is what the beginning of the surveillance state looks like in America
Americans in Connecticut received a bill for additional taxes on their car because cameras spotted it in a different city
A private company called Municipal Tax Service (MTS) is hired by cities to drive around and use automatic license plate readers on cars parked in different cities
It then makes connections if that car lives in that area and sends the owner a bill for new taxes on that vehicle for being in the city
The owner of this vehicle says she doesn’t live in that city, provided proof and says her car was only in a different city because her kid drives there for school
MTS didn’t care and said that the proof didn’t matter and they had to pay it. They appealed to the city, the city said they had to deal with MTS
But here’s the problem, MTS gets paid 38% commission on tax revenue they recover + $50 per vehicle billed to the owner. They made $9 million in commission in just one year from sending people additional tax bills
So this company has no incentive to ever help you and just deny you, which they did
Only after the mainstream media got involved would the city drop this one new tax bill which was false to begin with
In America we now literally have private companies driving around scamming our license plates to tax us more money
This is insanity and it needs to end

🚨JUST IN: 🇵🇱 POLAND’S GRZEGORZ BRAUN TELLS THE CROWD OUTSIDE THE CONSTITUTIONAL TRIBUNAL THAT TUSK’S POLICE JUST TOOK THE COURT BY FORCE — AND THAT THE ONLY WAY OUT IS TO LEAVE THE EU
Poland is a Slavic EU and NATO country. On the night of 30 October in Warsaw, Grzegorz Braun, leader of the Confederation of the Polish Crown, stood under a Gazeta Polska banner and spoke to protesters after riot police under Prime Minister Donald Tusk entered and secured the Constitutional Tribunal.
His statement that day said the government is forcing its political will with police, ignoring the legal order, and that it recalls the May 1926 coup. He named Justice Minister Waldemar Żurek as the one who ordered the entry, almost certainly on Tusk’s instruction. He warned that Poland will now have two competing tribunals depending on which side you are on. His solution in the statement: leave the EU so foreign court rulings stop being used to break the system, and pull the police out of political operations.
This is the same court whose doors were chained earlier and whose gate people later cut with a grinder. President Karol Nawrocki turned his plane around and is flying back from Senegal because of it.

Makes NO SENSE. One Nordstream still works if Germans would turn on their end (if still true?) Why would Poles block the flows? The pipelines must generate huge cash fees for flows that transit Poland💰Some how Germans who destroy their own Nuclear and Coal while refusing Nordstream are going to effectively administer and control two pipelines in Poland?
Here is an interesting hypothesis on what is currently going on in Poland:
Since Nord Stream was blown up, German industry is dying, and without cheap Russian gas it simply cannot survive. The war in Ukraine has left only two overland pipelines from Russia to Germany, and both run through Poland: Yamal, with a capacity of 33 billion cubic metres a year, and the Druzhba oil pipeline. Whoever controls Poland controls the possibility to turn them on. To save its industry, Germany must take control of Poland, and that is what it’s doing. Everything else is just noise.

All three men in this photo at Arlington, JFK, Grant Stockdale, and James Forrestal, died suddenly and unexpectedly. One was shot in Dallas. The other two fell from high windows.
Forrestal, the first Secretary of Defense, strongly opposed U.S. recognition of Israel in 1948. He warned it would damage American interests in the Middle East and create long-term problems. In 1949 he was found dead after falling from a 16th-floor window at Bethesda Naval Hospital. Official ruling: suicide. His brother Henry insisted it was murder. He told author Cornell Simpson that James “positively did not kill himself,” that he “was the last person in the world who would have committed suicide,” and that he believed someone had strangled him and thrown him out the window. Forrestal himself had complained he was being followed by “Jews or Zionist agents” and Communists.
JFK later ran into friction with Israel over its nuclear program at Dimona. His administration pressed for inspections and also pushed efforts to force the pro-Israel lobby to register as a foreign agent under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. He was assassinated in 1963.
Stockdale, standing with JFK at Forrestal’s grave in this 1963 photo, was a close Kennedy friend and former ambassador. Days after the assassination he met with Bobby and Ted Kennedy, then told friends the “world was closing in.” The day before he died he told his lawyer, in rambling fashion, that “those guys” were trying to get him and spoke about the assassination. The next day he fell from the 13th floor of a Miami office building. Official ruling: suicide.
Three men. Three sudden deaths. One photo.

My favorite performance of Patrick Stewart was in the TNG episode "Tapestry".
There are some days I look back to this episode for a reminder of overcoming difficulties and harsh truths.
I used to beat myself up over bad choices I had made and bad people I associated with. Led me into to conflicts, ruination, and at worst: homelessness.
But those were the things that made me into who I was. A lot of people just give up. They might lose their mind or spirit along the way. But you can't ever give those up -they're all you really have.
That almost sounds like it could be a cope, but in many cases, that's just how it goes. You have to live to know.

The CIA murders JFK.
The Warren Commission absolves the CIA.
Nixon knows the CIA murdered JFK.
4 of the 5 Watergate burglars work for the CIA.
The CIA frames Nixon for Watergate.

How on God's Green Earth can anti-Trump liberals ACTUALLY believe corruption in government STARTED in 2016 BECAUSE of Donald Trump?
The centerpiece of the downward spiral of our nation will always circle around to that fateful day on November 22nd, 1963. The day our own government murdered a sitting U.S. President on live T.V. who tried to push back against the cabal for We, The People, while a compliant media covered it all up & still does to this day.
Corruption is being exposed at the inducted speed of Light.
The public should be FURIOUS!!!
People are starting to realize our government has been corrupt since it's inception & not only was President Trump NOT responsible for that, he's responsible for helping expose that fact.
People are awake now more than any other point in history and they're starting to SEE it.

🚨NOW in WARSAW, POLAND 🇵🇱
All the latest and full coup EXPLAINED! 🧨🔥 – at Warsaw, Poland

I testified to this multiple times - during COVID, Fauci made sure we paid for COVID diagnoses, paid for deadly drugs like Remdesivir, and paid more when patients died. Hospitals made money when they killed patients… and they did so regularly. All so Fauci could get his mRNA poisons on the market and push them on people. #CrimesAgainstHumanity
BREAKING 🚨: The hospital found out Gail Seiler was unvaccinated for COVID. Then they tried to MURDER her.
They STARVED her for 12 days, denied her water for 7 days, and told her husband she was going to die.
When her husband came to take her home, the hospital made her a PRISONER.
They called the police, and a 6-hour standoff followed.
When the hospital finally let them go, it wasn’t through the main entrance. It was through the freight elevator used to carry bodies to the morgue.
On the way out, a nurse told her husband, Brad, “Mark my words, she’ll be dead tonight, or before you even get home.”
Gail survived. Not because of a miracle, but because a caring physician stepped in and guided her home treatment: nebulized budesonide and ivermectin.
BRAD SEILER: “Over the next 30 days, she was weaned completely off of oxygen. Within 60 days, she had recovered sufficiently to return to work. Today, Gail is alive, healthy, active, and
enjoying life with our grandchildren and children.”
Gail’s story is horrendous, but it’s not uncommon. Hospitals were rewarded with perverse bonuses during COVID, and the more interventions they ran, the more they made.
As Attorney @RenzTom previously testified: “We have incentivized the MURDER of patients rather than incentivize TREATMENT.”
“When you go to the hospital, you get tested. They get paid more. When you get admitted for COVID, they get paid more. When they put you on remdesivir, they get paid more. When you get ventilated, they get paid more. When you die, they get paid more. This is perverse.”

💡 Uncle Fester was once the most famous child in the world, and his own family spent every penny he earned.
In 1919, Charlie Chaplin spotted a little boy doing a dance in a Los Angeles vaudeville theater. He cast him in "The Kid" (1921), and Jackie Coogan became one of Hollywood's first child superstars.
He earned an estimated $3 to $4 million as a kid.
When he turned 21, it was nearly all gone, spent by his mother and stepfather. He sued them in 1938 and got back just $126,000.
California was so shocked that it passed the "Coogan Law" in 1939. It still protects child actors' earnings today.
Then came World War II. Coogan became a glider pilot with the 1st Air Commando Group. In March 1944, he flew British troops behind Japanese lines in Burma.
Twenty years later, he shaved his head, put a light bulb in his mouth, and became Uncle Fester.
Happy Halloween, Fester! 🎃

And now we understand the absolutely rabid obsession with destroying Pete Hegseth.
I’ve been in the Army since before 9/11. Served under many secretaries.
Only in the past 18 months have I experienced:
>politicians warning me not to follow illegal orders
>billboards outside military bases telling me to report war crimes
>the media attacking anyone who has a positive thing to say about the man, and defending anyone who hates him
>stunning volume of leaks from senior officials trying to undermine him, and the lionizing of the leakers by the press
>being called a war criminal myself, hundreds of times a day
>a sustained media narrative portraying virtually every firing or senior officer removal as a “purge”
>public efforts by retired officers, advocacy groups, and political figures to mobilize service members and military communities against administration policies
>influential “Americans” publicly cheering for Iran
This is just to name a few. I’ve NEVER experienced anything like this before. And it’s becoming abundantly clear that the concerted effort to divide the military from within was stunted when Hegseth took over. Anyone desiring color revolution needs control of the military. That’s color revolution 101.
Is it starting to make sense yet? Now you see the obsession over him in particular. It’s not a coincidence. And it damn sure isn’t because of his culture war.
It’s because by all objective metrics, he runs a military that snatches rogue leaders from their beds, destroys entire militaries, and successfully mobilizes assets to save one downed pilot in the middle of enemy territory by building an Air Force base… in the middle of enemy territory. Secures the border, dominates the hemisphere. Hunts drug cartels. The list goes on.
He is by all meaningful accounts, effective at wielding the machine. And that is why they drool at the thought of removing him.
In years past you’d be hard pressed to find a junior Soldier who knew the name of the cabinet secretary above them.
Every one of them knows Pete Hegseth.
Every one.
