@JonFoxWrites hey I have some insights on your excellent video about Epstein's supposed to death I left a comment in the comment field on YouTube let me know what you think Thanks
Specifically, the first JE note that you show. I don't believe it reads "JAIL OUT = 10" rather I'm pretty sure it is "JAIL @ 415 10". This makes sense when you look at how he writes his O's and the way that he was using the pen - writing very quickly and likely discretely
@GreatCollection The NGC website quotes a price of $33 for the Economy service, and $27 for bulk service. The standard service is $55, but it includes enhanced grading and description. None of the coins submitted have this .
Can you please explain GC's $50 "discounted price"?
@BrianJohns70557@nigroeneveld@TheReal_BenU@TheRickWilson Oh my God you are stupid. All one has to do is look at the Ukrainian law to see that he is correct - no elections can be held under martial law, period. Why are you such an idiot? Have you suffered severe head trauma?
@nigroeneveld@TheReal_BenU@TheRickWilson Who’s fact checking clown? You left your sources out. Hmm… let’s see has there been a presidential election in Ukraine over the last 4-5 years? No. That’s a dictatorship.
Vladimir Putin is a dictator.
Zelensky is not.
Vladimir Putin started this war.
Ukraine did not.
Donald Trump and Elon Musk are on the side of Putin, his war crimes, his invasion, and his wholesale murder of civilians.
America is not.
@nigroeneveld@TheReal_BenU@TheRickWilson Ukraine is one massive disinformation bubble. Zelensky also colluded against Trump. Don’t get me started on Barisma.
The truth will come out soon that will blow minds. The public is not ready for it. Time reveals all.
Let's check these claims...
1. Banning of 11 Political Parties:
Claim: Zelensky banned 11 political parties.
Fact Check:
In March 2022, Ukraine suspended 11 political parties with alleged ties to Russia, including the Opposition Platform – For Life and the Party of Shariy.
Context: This decision was made under martial law, citing national security concerns amid the Russian invasion.
Legal Basis: The decision was not an authoritarian decree by Zelensky alone but was enacted through the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council and approved by the Ukrainian Parliament (Verkhovna Rada). This is consistent with Ukrainian law which allows suspension of political parties during wartime if they are deemed to undermine national sovereignty.
Analysis: This measure was aimed at preventing internal destabilization and potential collaboration with Russian forces. While severe, it falls within the legal wartime powers of the Ukrainian state.
2. Persecution of Orthodox Christians:
Claim: Zelensky persecuted Orthodox Christians.
Fact Check:
In August 2024, Zelensky signed a law banning religious organizations affiliated with Russia, notably affecting the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) due to its historical ties to the Moscow Patriarchate.
Context: The legislation was passed by the Ukrainian Parliament and signed into law by Zelensky, reflecting concerns over Russian influence and allegations that some clergy were collaborating with Russian intelligence.
Legal Basis: The law targets institutions linked to foreign aggression rather than persecuting religious beliefs. It does not ban Orthodox Christianity as a religion but restricts organizations with direct affiliations to Russia, which is currently classified as an aggressor state by Ukraine.
Analysis: This action is based on national security justifications and aligns with international legal norms concerning state security during wartime. However, it remains controversial regarding religious freedom.
3. Cancellation of Elections:
Claim: Zelensky canceled elections.
Fact Check:
Since the Russian invasion in February 2022, Ukraine has been under martial law, which constitutionally prohibits holding national elections during wartime.
Context: Under the Ukrainian Constitution, elections are suspended when martial law is declared. This decision was not made unilaterally by Zelensky but was enacted by the Ukrainian Parliament through a legal framework for national emergencies.
Legal Basis: Article 83 of the Ukrainian Constitution explicitly forbids elections under martial law. The continuation of martial law is approved by Parliament every 30 days.
Analysis: The postponement of elections is a constitutional measure designed to maintain national stability during an active military conflict. This aligns with international legal standards for emergency governance during wartime. It is not a permanent suspension of democracy but a temporary measure under exceptional circumstances.
4. Merging Media and Government for Propaganda:
Claim: Zelensky merged media and government for propaganda.
Fact Check:
In 2022, the Ukrainian government consolidated national TV channels into a unified information platform to provide consistent information during the war.
Context: This decision was approved by the National Security and Defense Council and later ratified by the Ukrainian Parliament under martial law provisions.
Legal Basis: The consolidation aimed to combat Russian disinformation and maintain public morale during an existential national crisis. It does not prohibit independent journalism or international media coverage.
Analysis: This move is a strategic wartime communication measure, not an attempt to establish state propaganda. Similar actions have been taken by other democracies during wartime. The media landscape in Ukraine remains pluralistic, with independent and international outlets continuing to operate.
5. "Hit List" of Americans:
Claim: Zelensky has a "hit list" of Americans.
Fact Check:
No credible evidence supports the existence of a "hit list" targeting Americans by Zelensky or the Ukrainian government.
Source Analysis: This narrative appears to originate from unverified claims circulating on fringe websites and Russian state media. It lacks substantiation from credible news agencies or governmental sources.
Analysis: This is a baseless conspiracy theory with no factual basis. It is likely a disinformation tactic aimed at undermining Western support for Ukraine.
Conclusion:
The actions taken by President Zelensky:
Were not unilateral decisions but were enacted through the Ukrainian Parliament and other democratic institutions.
Are constitutional under Ukrainian law during martial law and consistent with international legal norms for wartime governance.
Are context-specific responses to the extraordinary circumstances of an existential threat from a foreign invasion.
Verdict:
Zelensky is not a dictator. These measures, while stringent, are temporary and legally justified under the current state of war. They reflect emergency governance rather than authoritarianism.
Historical Context: Similar actions have been taken by democratically elected leaders in other nations under wartime conditions (e.g., Churchill during WWII, Lincoln during the American Civil War).
These decisions are not indicative of dictatorial rule but rather emergency measures aimed at preserving national security and sovereignty.
We are witnessing, in real time, one of the biggest failures of curiosity in the history of journalism.
Katy Tur, squatting in the same building as trump at the RNC, is practicing her best tone of respectful reverence and fangirling as she looks at the mattress-sized gauze on the side of trump's head, and it doesn't occur to her to inquire what he was treated for.
Did he get stitches? If so, how many? Why is the bandage so insanely huge? The photographs didn't appear to show any discernible wound whatsoever.
No, these jackasses are reserving their most harsh interrogations for President Biden, demanding to know if he watched the entire debate from 14 fucking days ago, and who is he listening to, and for the 100th time, is he sure he doesn't want to drop out.
In fact, President Biden has politely attempted to steer the press' focus back to doing their jobs, asking Lester Holt why nobody's asking trump about the 28 lies he told during that debate.
It's outrageous. If you're going to subject one candidate to a body cavity-exam level of scrutiny, subject BOTH candidates to it.
Come on, you can't adequately or honestly "both sides" anything if you're only scrutinizing one side.
Nobody has even asked trump about the discrepancy of denying his involvement with Project 2025 and the fact that he knows many of its planners, and it mentions his name hundreds of times. FAILURE OF CURIOSITY.
Where are the questions about his weird fixation on Hannibal Lecter, or sharks, or any of the other batshit things he gets away with saying at all times?
How about asking him why he admitted to a discussion with Putin BEFORE the Ukraine invasion, or why he said Putin would release hostages to him, and not President Biden?
What about asking him why he was tooling around with the authoritarian leader of Hungary?
It does seem like, even prior to the shooting this weekend, the press has wrapped trump in a protective gauze as ridiculously oversized as his ear mattress.
He's not even the sitting President, but many members of the press have granted him immunity from asking him any fucking questions.
They're even allowing non-doctors to accuse President Biden of having dementia, while saying that trump DOES NOT -- and not an iota of pushback.
Once again, it's a disgraceful display of burying Biden under an avalanche of insipid inquiries and bullshit while extending utmost deference to a would-be dictator who plans to lock many of them up if he wins.
And they are shamelessly helping him.
BREAKING: Angry Trump blames Biden for shooting, vows revenge, stating, "If he wants a fight, he'll get a fight and the people I send for Joe Biden don't miss."
When I cast my vote for President Biden, I wasn't expecting much. I just wanted trump out of office.
I knew he was old.
I knew he had a stutter.
I knew he had a rep for "gaffes."
I didn't care. Just wanted trump gone.
Four years later, things are different.
I wasn't expecting that President Biden would be the most legislatively successful President in my lifetime.
I wasn't expecting him to help expand NATO.
I wasn't expecting him to lower insulin & inhalers.
I wasn't expecting him to create & recover 15m jobs.
I wasn't expecting him to bring manufacturing back.
I wasn't expecting him to forgive student debt.
But he did ALL those things, and more.
He surpassed my expectations by a lot.
And he has more planned for 2025-2028.
He's not a master orator,
He doesn't move so smoothly
But neither did FDR from his wheelchair.
Meanwhile, trump is STILL a threat.
He wants to be a dictator.
He wants to stay out of prison.
He wants revenge on his enemies.
He wants to take away from the poor and middle class and give to the ultra wealthy.
His Project 2025 will enable a national abortion ban to criminalize women seeking safe and legal abortions.
His Project 2025 will take away the rights of our LGBTQ family and friends.
His Project 2025 will transform the government into a loyalty pledge, not to America but to him ALONE.
We might never have another free election.
THAT is what is at stake in this election.
We can continue to progress with Biden policies, or we can let trump destroy democracy as we know it.
If you're looking for someone who's young and athletic, go watch a fucking movie.
I'll take the old guy who needs a nap while saving democracy over the old guy trying to overthrow democracy who needs a legal team.
@HPSupport I cancelled the instant ink. You turned my printing services off today for nonpayment, even though it says valid until 8/9. I see you're going to send me a bill for service thru 8/9, but not turn my printer back on. I'll not be paying that. Good luck staying in biz
@NWS I've never seen anything like this. Notice how the precipitation returns "jump" north about 5 seconds into the loop. It's not a glitch as far as I can tell. I haven't had any luck getting a reply from a pro, so hoping you could comment?
