Cutting to the chase: This is how reporters are supposed to investigate and report following the money.

"According to three European intelligence sources investigating the blast, who spoke to reporters on the condition of anonymity, the amount still stored in the warehouse by August may have been smaller than the initial 2,750 tons. They said the size of the explosion was equivalent to as little as 700 to 1,000 tons of ammonium nitrate."

Tech oracle Jaron Lanier warned us all about the evils of social media. Too few of us listened. Now, in the most chaotic of moments, his fears—and his bighearted solutions—are more urgent than ever.
https://www.gq.com/story/jaron-lanier-t ... ket-newtab
"Lanier is the father of a 13-year-old girl, and “one thing that's really cool,” he said, was how the protest movement had been able “to get teenagers focused on real things, instead of garbage. Like, I've seen this real emphasis toward Wait, how did this happen in history? What happened with Reconstruction? Where did all these statues come from? They are focused on reality instead of the latest stupid thing that's on Instagram or TikTok, and it's pretty cool.”

Technology was doing, as it did every once in a while, what Lanier wanted it to do: giving people a chance to be better, to know more, to lead more informed and compassionate lives.

“I feel a gratitude to Black Lives Matter,” Lanier said, “for just reintroducing us to reality.”

Another source of optimism, he said, was the advertiser boycotts of Facebook just then being announced by Patagonia, Coca-Cola, Unilever, and other companies protesting the disinformation and hate speech spread on the platform. “Marketers,” he said, “are obsessed with the youth market, and the youth market is really just ******* tired of white supremacy. And I think that there's just a lot of people looking at what's next to their ads when they show up and what's going on, and they're thinking, ‘You know what? We're putting money into this thing, and it might lose us the youth market. And if we lose the youth market, we go down.’ ”

He said he noticed a change in how Facebook was both thought of and written about. Take the congressional hearings that were held in July with Mark Zuckerberg and other big tech leaders. “What struck me,” Lanier later told me, “was how alone the four CEOs were—no friends or allies anywhere in politics or society. They've creeped everyone out with their opaque form of influence. Even Big Tobacco had friends.” ...

Sampling an abandoned silver mine.
That section of densely packed ore chutes were specifically where the recent mining was taking place. The miners placed a ladder inside one of the ore chutes and would follow that up to the stopes they were extracting the silver from. As you saw, the ground was not very solid back there and the miner showing us around confirmed that it was “uncomfortable” working there at times. Of course, a vein looking like the one they have there, is able to overcome a lot of discomfort.

What a nice treat for us John, thanks so much for sharing your pretty-pretties. Now I want to know what all the pink ones are and what you're selling them for, not that I can afford anything at the moment. You can PM me and not put prices on the board, and yes, I can see the bear. :mrgreen:

Looks like Twitter stepped in it big time again besides hosting Antifa planning...
They kangaroo lynch mobbed another journalist who said nothing wrong. These publishers are censoring to throw the election from silicon valley under the cover of a service. A service does not delete everyone not on their agenda. They have major civil suits filed on them now for damages. Nobody put in facebook jail for sharing the wrong thing for a MONTH will get anything back.
I think CNN paid 85 million to the teenager they lied about to build an agenda. The media is just paying the losses but not slowing down their swaying public opinion by cancellation. Even Tim here has switched to a Trump voter from solid democrat over all this.

Here's some interesting information the lamestream media hasn't revealed.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website disclosed the shockingly small number of people who died from only the Wuhan coronavirus, with no other cause of death mentioned. Hold on to your hat because here it is: out of the 161,392 deaths in the CDC data, just six percent, about 9,700 deaths, were attributed to the coronavirus alone. According to the CDC, the other 94 percent had an average of 2.6 additional conditions or causes of deaths, such as heart disease, diabetes, and sepsis.

Instead of protecting the vulnerable – the elderly in nursing homes and those with comorbidities – health "experts" recommended locking everyone up and prescribing for Americans a wide range of ailments such as depression, suicide, missed early cancer screenings, unemployment, substance abuse, and poverty....


New studies show the lockdown is ten times more deadly than the virus. :?

Oh California.
A caller from the hospital reported an assault victim, who refused to provide any information.

4:58 p.m. — A caller from Willow Valley Road and Highway 20 reported a man was using a radar gun on vehicles and when they sped past, he jumped out of the woods and threw things at the vehicles.

7:04 p.m. — A caller from the 100 block of Neal Street reported a man walking in front of vehicles and making strange gestures. He was “scooting along.”
