Living comfortably off grid - now :)

Today begins the Chinese New Year - year of the Horse. It’s also the first day of Ramadan on the Islamic Calendar. It’s also Mardi Gras for partying Christians (mostly Catholics), signalling the first day of Lent.

All derived from Lunar cycles.

yet another reason to stop buying American
The Trump administration withdrew a rule to make sure the products YOU use every day—like makeup and skincare—are tested for cancer-causing asbestos. Is this Making America Healthy Again??

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M of our tax money, to detain 4k people of whom only 30 were accused of violent crimes, plus another 530 with minor traffic violations.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Plus two civilian deaths. Trump is REALLY BAD at this.

Meanwhile in Canada:

@mark-carney.bsky.social ?

...on Stephen Harper's name popping up in Epstein files, with a $1M transfer to his own Harper & Associates company, coming from Epstein. Hello?

Why are * Crickets * so loud here?
It’s embarrassing that countries around the world are opening investigations into people involved in the Epstein files. Leaders have resigned.

Meanwhile in the USA, it’s just fake news. Donald Trump says it’s a hoax & let’s “move on”.

Hungary holds elections in 2 months. And the US Secretary of State is in Hungary campaigning for Viktor Orban. And as you can see, Russian state media loves it.

So this weekend TikTok removed our video about Elon Musk showing up in the Epstein files for "promoting misinformation", which we're sure has nothing at all to do with billionaire Trump megadonor Larry Ellison taking over control of TikTok's algorithm.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.
