Trump and Greenland: Vast Mineral Deposits, Energy Transformation, EV Revolution, Musk, Other Prominent Big Tech Figures
January 8th, 2025Via: Whitney Webb:
People should consider that arguably the main interest in Greenland (and also likely Canada as well) from the Trump camp and Musk is related to vast mineral deposits, particularly those necessary for the “energy transformation” and “EV revolution” that is directly tied to the business interests of Musk as well as other prominent Big Tech figures.
For example, aside from Musk, Jeff Bezos, who recently gave very very generously to Trump’s inauguration fund, backs a firm called KoBold Metals along with Bill Gates, Reid Hoffman (who both backed Kamala) and Marc Andressen (currently advising Trump on tech policy) that is drilling in Greenland for EV related minerals. Northern Canada also possesses significant deposits of minerals essential to EV production.

January 8th, 2025Via: Reuters:
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump is considering declaring a national economic emergency to provide legal justification for a series of universal tariffs on allies and adversaries, CNN reported on Wednesday, citing sources familiar with the matter.
The move will allow Trump to build a new tariff program by using the International Economic Emergency Powers Act, which authorizes a president to manage imports during a national emergency, the report said.

Zuckerberg Ends “Fact Checking” on Facebook

In a new video, Meta’s CEO announced that the company would adopt X standards and restore free speech protections across Facebook, Instagram, and Meta platforms. Meta will also end its third-party fact-checking program, introduce a ‘community notes’ system, and focus on removing criminal and fraudulent material—the very guidelines proposed by some of us in prior years.
Teachers Will No Longer Need To Pass Basic Reading, Writing And Math Test For Certification In New Jersey
January 7th, 2025Via: Daily Caller:
A New Jersey law that removes a requirement for teachers to pass a reading, writing and mathematics test for certification will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2025.
The law, Act 1669, was passed by Democratic New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy as part of the state’s 2025 budget in June in an effort to address a shortage of teachers in the state, according to the New Jersey Monitor. Individuals seeking an instructional certificate will no longer need to pass a “basic skills” test administered by the state’s Commissioner of Education.
“We need more teachers,” Democratic Sen. Jim Beach, who sponsored the bill, said according to the New Jersey Monitor. “This is the best way to get them.”
New Jersey is especially in need of math and science teachers, according to an annual report from the state’s education department.
Just months earlier, Murphy signed a similar bill into law that created an alternative pathway for teachers to sidestep the testing requirement. A powerful teachers union, the New Jersey Education Association, was a driving force behind the bill, calling the testing requirement “an unnecessary barrier to entering the profession.” Teachers in the state are paid an average of $81,102 annually, according to the National Education Association.

Matthew Livelsberger: Las Vegas Cybertruck Blast Suspect Competed in TV Show
January 4th, 2025Via: Inside Edition:
Las Vegas Cybertruck blast suspect Matthew Livelsberger took part in a military TV reality competition on the History Channel. He was cast to appear on a show called “The Ultimate Soldier Challenge.” Livelsberger and his Green Beret partner took on two teams in a series of military challenges. He talked about his love of guns. At one point, Livelsberger had to stop production due to heat exhaustion.
The Alleged Matthew Livelsberger Email: East Coast Drones, “Operational Use of Gravitic Propulsion Systems” [???]
January 3rd, 2025What we have here is a couple of spooks discussing an alleged email from the alleged Cybertruck Trump Hotel bomber, Matthew Livelsberger, that mentions, among other things, “Gravitic Propulsion Systems.”
I used to read 4chan for stuff like this. X is like 4chan with blue checkmarks and studio lighting.
So, why post this?
Since 2017, countless intelligence personnel can’t seem to stop talking about UFOs. This means that some sort of expanded, intensified information operation is running on this topic. It’s fine to pay attention to it to try to unravel the goal of the operation as long as we understand that current and former intelligence personnel MUST NOT be trusted.
In other words, we’re trying to piece together what’s happening by observing a tapestry of nonsense woven by a bunch of professional liars.
Nobody said it was going to be easy.
(Look on the bright side: At least they’re not tasking Lou Elizondo with this one.)

The Strange Case of Matthew Livelsberger and the Cybertruck Incident at Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas
January 2nd, 2025Nothing about the Matthew Livelsberger situation makes sense, but the most baffling aspect of the story is the amateurish nature of the improvised explosive.
Additionally, Livelsberger’s passport, military identification, iPhone and credit cards found in the vehicle. However:
Due to Livelsberger’s body being burnt beyond recognition and the gunshot wound, McMahill said it’s been hard to identify the body. He still does not have “100 percent confirmation” that he is the suspect.
Hmm.

“Matt was a very skilled warrior, and he would be able to make — if it was him, and if he did this — he would’ve been able to make a more sophisticated explosive than using propane tanks and camping fuel. He was what you might call a ‘supersoldier.’ If you ever read about the things he was awarded, and the experience he had, some of it doesn’t make sense, when he had the skills and ability to make something more, let’s say, ‘efficient.’ His skills were enormous from what he had been taught in the military.”
With Livelsberger’s skills, his uncle suggested, his nephew “could have fashioned a bomb that would have obliterated half of that hotel if he seriously wanted to hurt others.”
“Think of Oklahoma City,” he said. “McVeigh was just a normal soldier. Not a Tier 1 operator like Matt.”
