Here is our previous recap:
Gavin Newsom caught in a massive federal money laundering scam
โ
Newsom increased ambulance costs 300%, then requested reimbursements from the federal government, but it was fake
โ
Heโd then pay a different company a fraction of the cost and pocket the rest. Stealing billions
โOne of the largest and most convoluted schemes in modern history has been discovered during a review of California's medical financial recordsโ
โInvestigators found that under Gavin Newsom's leadership, the Golden State has essentially been funneling taxpayer money from all across America to prop up California's own finances.
Genesis Plan started in 2022 and it revolves around the complex concept of intergovernmental transfers, which in simple terms is when a local hospital or county makes a transfer to the state Medicaid agency for payments of medical services such as ambulance rides
After the transfers are made, the state can then request a matching amount of money from the federal government
But Gavin ...
Leaked phone call from January 4, 2025 (3 days before the devastating Palisades Fire)
The call is between Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and John Alle, a property manager and whistleblower in the Pacific Palisades, Westlake and MacArthur Park areas
John Alle contacted Karen Bass to warn her about extreme fire risks due to weather conditions like high winds and dry brush
Karen Bass tells him to โread between the lines,โ โhold tight,โ and that โyou will understand soon.โ
She knew something was coming, almost like a planned fire (many believe the land grab)
This call is interpreted as her knowing serious fire danger was imminent but not wanting to discuss what was about to happen openlyโฆ.
Very cryptic

๐ฎ๐ท๐ท๐บ๐จ๐ณ Mackinder's Dread Realized
Harold Mackinder wrote in 1904 that the era of European maritime predominance established 400 years earlier was coming to an end. Western naval and colonial powers had previously been able to outflank and dominate the Asian landmass through superior technology. But the consolidation of great continental-sized land powers such as the Russian Federation and potentially Chinaโcombined with changes in land transportationโmeant that insular maritime democracies including Great Britain would have a more difficult time maintaining their global position. Mackinder asked his readers to envision continental Europe, continental Asia, and continental Africa as a single โWorld Island,โ possessing most of the worldโs population and industrial potential.
The core of this world island he called the Heartland, inaccessible to sea powerโessentially, Russia, Mongolia, Tibet, and Central Asia, including parts of China and Iran. If the world island ...
