Tax. The. Churches.
A plumber who discovered stacks of cash and checks inside a wall at celebrity televangelist Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church last month has been awarded $20,000 by Crime Stoppers of Houston. The envelopes were discovered behind a loose toilet by the plumber while he was doing repairs at the Houston church on Nov. 10 - seven years after the church reported $600,000 in cash and checks stolen from a safe.

The rationalizations will be very rich. Like this one.

Only the most die-hard cultists who believe he is the literal second coming of Christ are going to stick with him.

“I think you should let him hang himself… Of course, it is possible that, when asked, he'll say Jeffrey is a great guy and has gotten a raw deal and is a victim of political correctness, which is to be outlawed in a Trump regime.”
Michael Wolff - “I think you should let him hang himself. If he says he hasn't been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable PR and political currency. You can hang him in a way that potentially generates a positive benefit for you, or, if it really looks like he could win, you could save him, gencrating a debt. Of course, it is possible that, when asked, he'll say Jeffrey is a great guy and has gotten a raw deal and is a victim of political correctness, which is to be outlawed in a Trump regime.

On September 1, 2015, American police lieutenant Charles Joseph "Joe" Gliniewicz was found deceased in a marsh in Fox Lake, Illinois. The incident gained national coverage as it was initially believed that Gliniewicz was murdered by three unknown assailants. However, after two months of investigation, officials of the Lake County Major Crime Task Force concluded that Gliniewicz had actually committed suicide that he staged to look like murder, after realizing that his many years of criminal activity would soon be exposed. 21(3114](5][6] Joe Gliniewicz Born Charles Joseph Gliniewicz August 25, 1963 Libertyville, Illinois, U.S.

“If the situation escalates, each missile can carry a charge of up to a megaton, this means (if launched) that one state is gone.

There was an American state and now it's gone.

Everything will end, no one will remain for us to talk to."

I’ve been watching them for years.

Fuck you traitors.
LIVE UPDATES Trump Says Only 'People That Hate Our Country' Want Shutdown To Continue = Newsweek He rejected that Russia would become a pariah for breaking the nuclear taboo, saying that countries would line up to be allies with Moscow given such a demonstration of strength. Gurulyov said he was not calling for nuclear weapons to be used immediately but that adversaries should not think that they would never be used. What People Are Saying State Duma deputy Andrey Gurulyov on Solovyov Live: "If the situation escalates, each missile can carry a charge of up to a megaton, this means (if launched) that one state is gone. There was an American state and now it's gone." He added: "Everything will end, no one will remain for us to talk to." Russia watcher Julia Davis, next to the clip of Gurulyov wrote on X: "Meanwhile in Russia: State Duma deputy Andrey Gurulyov claimed that Russia can defeat Ukraine in 30 minutes. He said that Trump is weak, America is no longer great and Moscow's Burevestnik missile is able to destroy one whole U.S. state in an instant." What Happens Next Kremlin propagandists are likely to continue to tout the capabilities of the Burevestnik cruise missile as well as other potent Russian weapons-in efforts by Moscow to discourage the West from supporting Ukraine.

Adolf Hitler died by suicide via a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head on April 30, 1945, in his Führerbunker in Berlin, Germany. His wife of one day, Eva Braun, died with him by ingesting cyanide. Key Details • Date and Location: Hitler and Braun died on the afternoon of April 30, 1945, in Hitler's personal study within the Führerbunker, as Soviet Red Army forces closed in on the city. • Cause of Death: It is widely accepted by historians that Hitler shot himself in the right temple with his own pistol, while Eva Braun died from cyanide poisoning. • Disposal of Remains: In accordance with Hitler's instructions to avoid his body being publicly displayed or desecrated (like that of his ally Benito Mussolini two days earlier), their bodies were carried into the Reich Chancellery garden, doused in gasoline, and set on fire. • Forensic Evidence: The bodies were severely burned, but Soviet forces later recovered dental remains (part of a jawbone and several teeth) which were identified by Hitler's dental assistant and technician in May 1945. In 2018, French forensic pathologists confirmed the authenticity of these dental remains, definitively proving Hitler's death in the bunker and debunking various conspiracy theories about his survival.

It’s because they’re also pulling media strings to control the narrative. Globally.
"We have quite a fragmented response model," said Sullivan. "Some of these incidents should be responded to by law enforcement, some by the intelligence agencies. We do need everyone to come together, because a single, unified response makes us much stronger." "Look at the reaction in Germany," adds Pomerantsev. "There's been cyber attacks, an attempted assassination, and on and on and on. Both the head of German intelligence and the security minister have come out saying, we're going to do something about it. We're going to have to learn deterrence? And immediately huge amounts of the political and media elites were like, 'That's so escalatory. Why are we overreacting?' So it splits a society." In the face of this realm of chaos and confusion, with some terrified of prodding the Russian bear, what best path forward? Again, there are differing approaches.

"You almost become paranoid thinking about what Russia can do… then… you realise you weren't paranoid enough."
There has been a response. Nato launched Operation Baltic Sentry at the start of this year to up surveillance of rogue ships in the Baltic Sea, damaging undersea cables. That appears to have been a success so far. And the alliance has said that by the end of 2027 it will have a new anti-drone system. The West's physical response may have begun, but it's clear there is a psychological battle here: to educate and inform populations about what is going on in the shadows and be aware of how Moscow wants societies to respond. That is the challenge ahead of what might be coming down the road. "What Russia could do next is a frightening question to ponder," said Braw. "You almost become paranoid thinking about what Russia can do. And then when Russia introduces its next form of grey-zone aggression, you realise you weren't paranoid enough."

'You realise you weren't paranoid enough' Lord Robertson believes the West now needs to be more open about the threat and harken back to the 1945-1991 world. "I don't think that the country is really aware of the dangers. I really worry that when the lights go out and the data centres melt and the traffic lights stop working and the ATMs are producing no cash, people will turn on the government. "We need to resurrect some of the instruments of information warfare that we used during the Cold War. We've dismantled a lot of the instruments that we used to get news and views into the Soviet Union. I think we need to reestablish a lot of that in order to get to the Russian population. But President Trump has destroyed Radio Liberty and Radio Free Europe." "I don't think that the country is really aware of the dangers." - Lord Robertson
