Do some cable companies not have recorders built into the box?

No. Some people don't want it because they have existing boxes etc... so its a waste of money for them. And if they sell the tivo/whatever separately they can charge more $$$.

What the hell is the origin of this Frankfurt server thing? I keep seeing it mentioned, but I have no idea where it's coming from. Was there some incident thats being spun into a firefight between Patriotic Our Troops Special Forces vs. The CIA Deep State, or has it been made up of whole cloth by some Q-cultist/grifter/madman?

It was made up out of whole cloth on social media, then picked up by prominent idiots like Louie Gohmert.

That stupid made up Berger thing comes from a site called Real Raw News, which, well



weirdly, it has 3 news categories: World, USA, and :tinfoil:Russia:tinfoil:. Almost all of the (20 or so) articles are in USA. World has a handful, and Russia leads to a blank page.

I poked through the site and looked at the domain registration data, but there's no names or organizations listed anywhere, just proxies. Many of the links to things like sharing functions or advertise here are broken (or more specifically, were never added in the first place and are remnants of the WordPress theme they're using.) So monetization seems dubious as a purpose. Honestly, this looks like a propaganda op.

Really? You think that a story in which the source completely glossed over Pelosi's statements by summarizing them in ways such as "said something he didn't like," and the Marine General communicated entirely in Maga Wet Dream Movie Speeches and expressed loyalty to Trump and his followers over the government MIGHT be from a Propaganda outlet?

I'm shocked.

I honestly anticipated it was from a meme mill in it for the advertising $$.

The worst thing DeSantis can do is run against Trump in 24. A lot of hardcore Trumpers are having doubts - but far from all of them. If DeSantis loses, he'll get bullied and mocked by Trump mercilessly and attain the stank of a loser. If DeSantis wins, he'll be the deep state backstabber and the Trump base will demobilize. It's easy to see how these fault lines in Freep could turn into full flame wars and zot-fests in those circumstances.

The only ideal result for DeSantis is for Trump to randomly die in the next year or so. Otherwise, he's gotta do something like coronate Trump while retaining the energy of the presumptive heir.

Crossposting this question I posted about Telegram to the right wing media thread:

It's, theoretically, the most private/secure, so it would make sense that it has strong appeal to the conspiracy-minded. I would note that it seems to have a lot of penetration amongst olds in general, Q-adjacent or not.

Wait. Are freepers pro Russian imperialism now? I know they were pro Putin when he was doing all the anti LGBT stuff but I had no idea freepers thought that supporting Ukraine against the Russian invasion was a bad thing

as trump put it, he thought it was a real clever move by Putin.

The Freepers have no real empathy and cant understand solidarity or having the least concern for someone else. So their only framework for understanding why Biden would support Ukraine is that it must be a corrupt kickback scheme, because why else would you lift a finger?

Ok someone's gonna have to explain this one to me. Is there a conspiracy theory about Fauci's role in the first AIDS outbreak?

Fauci (who was at NIH even then) thought that maybe something could possibly perhaps be done about AIDS, which rendered him history's greatest monster long before Covid.

Mark Meadows to plead guilty in deal to testify against Trump: report

If they do this to Trump, they WILL do it to other political opposition.

And then there's the flip side of that ...

A Republican presidential candidate who has NOT been indicted by a Democrat Nazi prosecutor should be considered totally untrustworthy and will never get my vote.

[That's for anyone in the DeSantis campaign who might be listening.]

So they have found a lever long enough or a price to turn another Trump appointee. It could be anything including family, children and anything else of value to Meadows IMO.

We have got to stop buying into the democrat narrative. Trump did not lose. the election was stolen. In fact, becaue Trump’s actual margin of win was so large, the theft was clumsy and blatantly obvious. And that is what all of us should be saying over and over and over again. Never stop saying the obvious, the election was stolen and Trump won!

kinda confused if sten thinks the deep state covid conspiracy was just too incompetent to engineer a virus that could hit those sort of kill numbers and had to make up the difference with fake vaccines, or why they wouldn't just use flu vaccines or mmr or something instead of a whole new one, or what

Think of how trump always behaves. He will go to any lengths to be perceived as the winner in any context, no matter how petty. If there's a chance of him being seen a loser he will run away faster than light. They prefer veterans who don't get captured~

If you have the means or power to win, then you exercise it. That means that axiomatically if you lose, its because you didn't have the power to be a winner. Thus by losing you were always the loser and weak and stupid.

in conclusion, its a lot like posting.
