#1301411 [soylentnews.org] got me thinking about the term. "Legally accused." That's what they have on Trump: guilty until proven innocent. As we have so casually slipped into a police state, ruled by the New World Order, places like this are grooming. Obama was himself a puppet, bought for a few million dollars and a NWO education. Now, it's all puppets, which is why individual state rights matter. So that we don't end up with a population of NWO puppets vs the nihilists, who don't care if it burns down or not. Twenty-seven states have no-permit-necessary self-protection; if you're looking for the good guys, that's a place to start.

I appreciate you coming a lot closer to answering my question. For convenience I'll repeat that the context of the question: Rudy's handling of the dozens of causes related to Trump's claims of a stolen election. He made 0.0% progress. That might mean he is incompetent. That might mean there was no case to make... he was lying to you. It's objectively not a 'blame the left' issue. Are you mad at him?

Posted by BeauHD on Monday April 10, 2023 @08:02PM from the what-goes-up-must-come-down dept. An anonymous reader quotes a report from Popular Mechanics: Americans' IQ scores are trending in a downward direction. In fact, they've been falling for over a decade. According to a press release, in studying intelligence testing data from 2006 to 2018, Northwestern University researchers noticed that test scores in three out of four "cognitive domains" were going down. This is the first time we've seen a consistent negative slope for these testing categories, providing tangible evidence of what is known as the "Reverse Flynn Effect."
In a 1984 study, James Flynn noticed that intelligence test scores had steadily increased since the early 1930s. We call that steady rise the Flynn Effect. Considering that overall intelligence seemed to be increasing faster than could be explained by evolution, the reason increase became a source of debate, with many attributing the change to various environmental factors. But now, it seems that a Reverse Flynn Effect is, well, in effect.

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), along with law enforcement officials from other federal agencies and the state of New York, announced the arrest of two individuals accused of establishing and operating an illegal Chinese regime police station in New York City.
The arrests are the first in America since the revelation [breitbart.com] in September by the NGO Safeguard Defenders that China has established dozens of illegal police stations around the world in America, Canada, Japan, Brazil, and Spain, among other locations. The police stations were reportedly used to intimidate and silence dissidents or threaten Chinese nationals considered to dissent from Communist Party orthodoxy to return to China and face the brutal repressive apparatus there.
The police station that Lu and Chen reportedly opened was part of the Fuzhou branch of the Chinese MPS, the branch exposed as running these clandestine foreign operations in the Safeguard Defenders report. In a press release [justice.gov], the DOJ clarified that, despite being an alleged illegal “police station,” the operation the men were running did not appear to target any genuine criminals, only anti-communist dissidents.
“The PRC [People’s Republic of China], through its repressive security apparatus, established a secret physical presence in New York City to monitor and intimidate dissidents and those critical of its government,” Assistant Attorney General Matthew G. Olsen of the Justice Department’s National Security Division said. “The PRC’s actions go far beyond the bounds of acceptable nation-state conduct. We will resolutely defend the freedoms of all those living in our country from the threat of authoritarian repression.”

#1301411 [soylentnews.org] got me thinking about the term. "Legally accused." That's what they have on Trump: guilty until proven innocent. As we have so casually slipped into a police state, ruled by the New World Order, places like this are grooming. Obama was himself a puppet, bought for a few million dollars and a NWO education. Now, it's all puppets, which is why individual state rights matter. So that we don't end up with a population of NWO puppets vs the nihilists, who don't care if it burns down or not. Twenty-seven states have no-permit-necessary self-protection; if you're looking for the good guys, that's a place to start. As for me, I would never want to carry a gun... but I want those NWO puppets to think I am. Maybe two, and a great big American flag.
