Illusions

Do You KNOW What’s Real?

Alwaleed’s detention was more mysterious than most. Of all the princes who were brought in, he alone hadn’t served in the Saudi government, where kickbacks are considered common. And unlike other businessmen, he wasn’t a government contractor and so couldn’t have overbilled the state. He made most of his wealth transparently, in real estate and as an investor in public markets.

Erik Schatzker: Why were you arrested in the first place?

Prince Alwaleed: Well, I would not use the word “arrested,” because we were invited to the king’s house and then asked to go to the Ritz-Carlton. So it was done with honor and dignity, and our prestige was maintained. Not only me; everybody else.

So the word “arrest” is fair to use for those who did commit a crime, admit their guilt?

Exactly. And reached a settlement with the government. But in my case, you know, it’s very much different.

So were there never any charges? Were you ever accused of anything?

There were no charges. Because I have a fiduciary responsibility to my shareholders in Kingdom Holding, to my friends in Saudi Arabia, and to the world community, because we have international investments all over the place, it’s very important to say that there was zero accusation and zero guilt.

You’ve described the whole ordeal as a misunderstanding. A misunderstanding over what?

When I say misunderstanding, it’s because I believe I shouldn’t have been there. Now that I’ve left, I would say that I’ve been vindicated. Yet I have to acknowledge to you, for the first time, that yes, we do have with the government a confirmed understanding, going forward.

What does that mean?

It is very confidential. I cannot get into that. But there is a confirmed understanding between the kingdom of Saudi Arabia and me personally.

Does that require you to do certain things?

Not necessarily. I cannot get into that, because it is confidential and secret between me and the government. But rest assured that this does not really handcuff me.

What did the government want from you?

I will not get into the discussions that took place between me and representatives of the government.

Things are moving fast. Keep up if you can.

“Things are moving fast. Keep up if you can.”

I remember when PIGS were gonna be the cause for WORLDWIDE FINANCIAL DEPRESSION!!!

Especially the “G” … Greece. Ho Lee Fuk. All the articles. All the fucken fear doom hysteria. If Greece goes down IT’S THE END OF THE WORLD BABY!!!!!

Until the next crisis. What was the next crisis? Who knows .. who cares anymore …. it is, as you say, hard to keep up.

The past two or three months it was about NUCLEAR WAR!! Politicians were actually saying it. MSM fuks, of course. Stucky submitted an article or two, and got damn near hysterical. What was the trigger, err, triggers? Oh, yea. USA and Russia in Syria and one of us would shoot down someones airplane and it would escalate into WWIII faster than you can say ohshitwebefuked. Or was it Ukraine, surely the USA and Russia would be at war soon. Hey, then there’s Rocket Man and some pols were openly calling for a preemptive strike on the Norks which would have brought in China and then the Japs and of course Russia, and pretty soon there would be a mushroom cloud over Piscataway, NJ.

So, lemme aks you a question; — Are YOU able to keep up?? If so, please tell me what I should be keeping up with. What should keep me awake at night? Serious questions. Lastly, IS THE END NEAR, or what?? I gots to fucken know. Really.

Actually, I gotta leave for the day. Glad you answered before I left. Good answers. Although you did leave me hanging in spots.

I really don’t know what the fuck is going on anymore. So, I post bullshit, cuz it’s all bullshit. Just submitted a QOTD; — Tits, ass, and Catholics. Hey, why not?

Hey, I asked you about “your reality” in another thread. Hope you saw it, and if so, that you didn’t take anything personally.

Adios.

FM, by far the most likely cause of “heartburn” is a lack of acid and not too much of it.

What you do about that is to eat fermented foods like sauerkraut and kefir. That will get your gut biome right, which is critical to your digestion as well as your general health. Also, go to the health food store and get some heavy duty probiotic products found in the refrigerated area.

Make your own kefir. You can get starter grains from sites on the Net. Best to consume raw milk, though regular pasteurized milk can work as I have friends who cured themselves of digestive problems with sauerkraut and kefir made from regular milk (not ultra-pasteurized). Some of my “clients” report that they get instant relief from the regimen. With others it takes longer but improvement is nearly always felt very soon.

Other benefits accrue as well as your gut biome health, as I said before, is critical to general health.

A small glass of warm salt water cures heartburn pretty quick. Introduce some alkalinity to an acidic environment and presto…..neutralization! No more heart burn.

Since Q came along, which I struggle to keep up with, I have not been happier or slept more soundly in 15-20 years. I even slept thru my alarm clock a time or two. The world is changing….dramatically and for the better. I’m tellin’ ya, The 4th Turning is going to need an edit before Trump is done.

A good hard-on should keep you (and Mrs. Frued) awake at night. The END is ALWAYS near. This is why hard-ons should be what keeps you awake at night. You wanna worry about the END or gettin’ a nut? Your choice.

I hope mama Stucky and Mrs. Freud are doing well sir.

To answer your question, if it’s on the internet or the msm, I figure it’s mostly BS. Even in the alt-media, you have to wade through a lot of weeds and are left wondering who doesn’t have an agenda.

Sometimes they mix in a lot of truth with the lies to further confuse everything.

Really, how can one even tell anymore?

So a friend was in San Francisco on business a few years ago. While walking to lunch or dinner with the muzzie VP of the company he was working for, they passed a particularly flaming trans or whatever it was.

The muzzie VP whispered to him “All I can think is matches and gas can”.

So you are not too far from the truth.

Only a matter of weeks ago certain people were sounding the alarm over the imminent nuclear war with North Korea, Russia and China.

They seem to be changing their focus on what is imminent now for some reason.

Iran was/is a deep state/CIA playground and with the ending of NK’s nuclear program (really the deep state/CIA program), Iran was the deep states LAST hope for ensuring their ability to hold the world hostage with the threat of nuclear war. It was this threat that the globalists and treasonous US political scum planned to use to finish off the USA after Hitlary completed the 16 year plan (started by Bush, continued by Onegro) to destroy the USA and our military from within.

The plan has now changed and the deep state, along with their useful idiot lackey’s are on their way out. The only ones upset about it are “our betters” and a bunch of regulars on TBP.

Iran is in the process of being set free. Enjoy the show. (Pro tip: Enjoying the show is far easier if you realize it’s a show and the deep state boogeymen are mostly hot air.)

If Q is to be believed, Alwaleed is now missing many toes due to some unfortunate accidents with “wire cutters” and he apparently has a surgically implanted “kill switch” hence his dramatically meek and mild tone of late.

Based on yesterday’s phenomenal Trump fuck-up, there will be no USA supported NK/SK re-unification deal. Lets hope NK/SK give the USA the middle finger. Fowgetaboutit. Neocons 100% ++ in control. Bolton, Pompeo, Waffle House Waitress Nikki. Nothing we pigeons will consider good will come from this. And lets face it, Trump is willingly on board with all of this. Looks like he got the memo from Bibbi, his FP handler.

There is “No Plan” to trust, NADA. How can any reasonably intelligent US citizen trust anything Trump is doing on foreign policy? You really have to be a coma like state of cognitive dissonance. Plane has just hit terminal turbulence, Nikki now controlling the throttle. Nose down.

Conveying my point of view, which is the intended purpose of this site. I was a HUGE Trump supporter and voted for him. That vote carried it with it the expectation that:

1. Trump would not support the Neocon world domination plan, and would take concrete steps to get the USA out of destroying small ME countries as target practice, killing millions of innocent people
2. Trump would act like a true inspirational leader, respecting all domestic and international laws. A man with a MORAL COMPASS!
3. Trump would appoint people to his cabinet consistent with “cleaning the swamp” and MAGA, and be men and women of truth, reason, justice and loyalty
4. That real action would take place to clear out the deeply corrupt, satanic state of our government, and HRC and other criminals from the Obummer admin would at least be indicted for their high crimes

Unlike others, I am not suffering from cognitive dissonance. I will be a very happy guy if everything I just wrote was proven factually false within a time-frame that can make a difference in saving our country. I don’t live in denial. Show me some real evidence, and I will acknowledge it.

Sure, things would be definitely worse under HRC especially the criminality, but perhaps she would have self destructed already.

What I write seems to me fairly consistent with our moderator, Jim Quinn, who may be even more angry and frustrated than me. I had high expectations.

BTW- after Trumps reneging of the Iran deal, you can bet that Kim in NK understands the USA cannot be trusted. That doesn’t make Kim a good guy, but don’t we have higher standards in the USA?

Just Truth: (ain’t that what we all want?)

I would have topped your list with “Close the damn border!!!”

About Trump reneging on the Iran deal- what I know for a fact, is that the mooslime mulatto and his tranny, the Marxist AG (s), and his Iranian advisor Valerie Jarrett did NOTHING good for the USA.

I really feel that the deal was orchestrated for the precise reason to have Trump replace it…..the two different wings (demonrats and republicants) of the masonic bird (phoenix) working hand in glove to further their goal of a one world system under the reign of Lucifer- do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law-

It’s all just an illusion, smoke and mirrors, sleight of hand, keep the plebes entertained with bread and circuses while increasing the potential ‘fear factor’ so they will look to the kings to sustain and protect them.
