Well it's going to be a VERY BAD WEEK...
Alexandra Grant. More lies? Did she forget she married another person 10 years ago... & is still married... UPDATE...
I had a dream about Alexandra Grant. (Which in it's self is disturbing) This is what I saw in the dream. I SAW... Alexandra Grant is married. Not to Keanu Reeves. T he marriage took place around 9/10 years ago on the East coast of America. (Not New York City) I Saw She was in a very close relationship with this "Person" I See she was paid to do this... The person she is married to is of dubious character... This person has been "Away" for quite a while... (If you know what I mean) This person is threatening to return.. She will... To expose the marriage & other criminal behaviors they both had a part in. As I write this. Keanu Reeves & his team. Do not know of this. Alexandra, knows is still legally married. Has her head in the sand. Hoping it will go away... STAY TUNED... MORE TO ...

Well nothing China produces cannot be sourced somewhere else. In time.
Yeah they produce alot of consumer goods and toys.
But in a short time, U.S business can move past that hardship and slight price increase. And buy off other countries.
And not get affected by China's current retaliation to Trump's tariffs.
Like Australia... I think U.S consumers have become lazy. Just how the Chinese want you to be.
People just buy the first thing they see... with the lowest price. Almost always made in China.
I don't. I shop around. And buy anything. That isnt made in China. Pay abit more yes. But I don't care.
And there's a myth that China has rare earth elements for mining. No they don't. Not really.
The U.S does. The only problem is there is controversy and problems in the mining of these elements in the U.S.
Australia is also rich in things the world needs to need mine For, Iron Ore etc.
And the Chinese know it. That's why their ships are permanently in and out of our Australian harbours collecting it.
No. The world dosent need China. Their crap. And the way we've formed a toxic habit of buying it.
If the U.S could pull together. And ban as many Chinese imports as possible. It may glide through a recession.
And be better off for it. In the long run.
And the reliance on Chinese imports. Forever.
And also move away from exporting to China . Export to other countries.
Business needs to realise. There is life beyond China.
America thinking Trumps really is nuts;
Denmark incensed by Trumps behavior;
Greenland is adamant they don't want to be bought; and,
Puerto Rico thinks it's a great idea being part of Denmark...if they can just get the Danes to sign on the bottom line....
Anyway, Boris and Trump are meeting on Sunday morning in Barritz....I mean what could possible go wrong???
Hit China back for making so much money off the
USA! China never plays fair and this is long
Over due
And it took a crazy President to do it!
Let's hope Boris Johnson loses the next election. Cause him and Trump make a dangerous pair.
Perhaps Oliver Cromwell, I mean Boris Johnson has been found out.
That he wants to steer the UK towards an end to the Monarchy.
The Palace and MI6 will see its far easier to just end Boris Johnson.
Car accident, light plane crash???
Christian has suggested that Boris Johnson's aims and goals will become known. Eventually.
Whether that makes him popular is another thing.
Also I think he also predicted that Trump and Boris Johnson fallout. I'm not totally sure on that. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Id love to be able to read the Danish newspapers. To see how outraged they are about Trump proposing to purchase Greenland from them.
Denmark are in a vunerable position. China and Russia want to get their hands on Greenland, for its natural resources.
Now the U.S is tryin to get Greenland. I think its disgusting. And a global bullying on a small country.
Agree. China has destroyed manufacturing... businesses around the world . With their mass produced cheap shit.
Buy anything. But not if it's made in China.
How on earth are other businesses around the world ever going to get back on their feet. While we continue to just buy Chinese products.
I was outraged when I was in Italy last year.
I passed so many closed Italian factories.. manufacturing companies.
When you see the closed factories. That went broke because of China's 'Economic Miracle'. It really hits home. The tragedy of it.
Companies that had been in business for a 100 years. Gone.
And it's always average Joe's who suffer the most in stock market crashes.
America does not manufacture much anymore. This will change thanks to what Trump has done. Perhaps his plan is causing us pain for now but we will be better off in the long run.
Africa manufactures a lot of stuff. Great stuff too! I have purchased items made in Africa, some of which is handmade. I have never been disappointed. I am sure African nations would be glad to trade with the United States.
I have been praying to God to prevent a recession, according to God's will of course. I have also asked God to provide help to people. God always provides help. We need to reach out and take it. I am living proof. My family and myself have gone through terrible and bizarre times. What God does for us, God can and will do for you. Just ask and receive!
Denmark might end up with Puerto Rico?
David Koch died? Was his name in Epstein's Black Book...
Where have I been?
Not just exchange it for Denmark.
Why?
Well. It's been a bit up and down in Puerto Rico. Massive protests have recently forced the Govenor of Puerto Rico, Ricardo Rossello out.
Among the reasons the public went wild and forced him out. Was some leaked SMS messages of his.
One of them was, oddly... one of his aides making gay jokes about Puerto Rican Singer, Ricky Martin.
Okkayyyy.
Dear Ricky Martin... who incidently used to practice singing as a kid by singing into wooden spoons. Well he launched an outrage back at the Puerto Rican Govt over the gay insult.
Personally I don't think someone who wrote and sang a song saying, 'She bangs she bangs' should criticise others. But then again. That's just my view.
But someone needs to explain to dear Ricky, sayin she bangs, is rather obscene.
Anywho,
Govenor, Ricardo Rossello also called the former speaker of the New York Council a whore. Joked about shooting the Mayor of San Juan. Gave the middle finger to a Federal financial oversight board.
Also his Aide made an very offensive joke about how many cadavers they could feed to the crows after Hurricane Maria in 2017.
The Washington Post pretty much claimed that Ricardo Rossello was nowhere in the league of how bad Trump is. When all's considered.
But unfortunately for Ricardo Rossello, Puerto Ricans didn't see it that way.
Then the FBI arrested two top former Officials in Ricardo Rossello's government.
It's part of a corruption probe into how contracts have been running.
Apparently they have been funneling govt contracts towards businesses they had personal ties to.
Plus Puerto Rico also has a debt crisis. Trump has called Puerto Rican Officials 'incompetent or corrupt.'
And has opposed increased Hurricane Maria Aid to Puerto Rico.
Trump also hates the Mayor Of San Juan. Claiming he 'wouldn't trust her under any circumstances.'
And that 'Congress foolishly gave 92 billion for Hurricane Relief, much of it was squandered wasted, never to be seen again'.
No, Puerto Rico is one big headache for Trump.
Id swap it too for Denmark.
David Koch only died yesterday.
Good riddance.
Him and his brother.
Him and his brother, U.S billionaires, as you know, have been forcing political influence. Big influence, on U.S politics.
Since the day they started paying tax.
Well, at least were supposed to pay Tax.
They have also been controlling environmental legislation in the U.S to suit the many industries they own. For decades.
Once the other old brother is gone.
U.S Environmental activists might have a hope of change.
But then again. Then you have Trump blocking or undoing protection for the environment and wildlife in the U.S.
At least, that may change with a new U.S government. And everything that previous Presidents put in place will be restored.
As for Puerto Rico, I am going to say it. It is a "welfare state." They have had several opportunities to become the 51st state. They have voted against it. They would have lost all them welfare benefits and be forced to learn English.
I agree with Trump about the hurricane relief funds. North Carolina is still fighting to receive hurricane relief funds that were designated to come to us years ago.
When I started reading about it... I had no idea Puerto Rico was run by a Governor for the U.S.
Wow. I always wondered why Americans retired there etc.
So they have been offered to become a state of America. And refused.
Interesting.
Yes. No wonder Trump wants shot of them asap. They sound like a headache in many ways for the U.S.
What could resolve this? Cause clearly many Americans live there.
And it must seem impossible to Trump. To stop the financial corruption going on in Puerto Rico.
That would be very frustrating.
Puerto Ricans are American citizens, just like the people of Guam and the U. S. Virgin Islands. In a way, the system is designed to keep them down. However, Puerto Rico has had multiple chances to help itself and to become a US state. Why do that when you can get free handouts and keep American citizenship?
Wow. I did not know that. That people only often retire to Puerto Rico....cause they are up to something fishy.
I also didn't know people of Guam have U.S citizenship. Hmmmm.
And here's me thinking so many happy nice newly retired Americans only move to Puerto Rico for a nice life.
Like how alot of Australian retirees are starting to retire to Thailand and Indonesia. Cause it's far cheaper.
No. From what you say. Trump should pursue any opportunity to get rid of Puerto Rico. Its costing a fortune. And the Government installed there is just embezzling all the funding for the country.
Trump has already had the Federal Financial Oversight Board in to investigate the corruption he knows is going on.
And let's face it. Trump goes berserk over U.S money being wasted. Or the U.S being overcharged. For anything. Its one of his better qualities I guess.
Ah ha!!! So funny about anorexic Karen Carpenter and the visit to a Chinese Buffet.
Too funny.
Not sayin Anorexia is funny. But. Their rituals and routines around food are bizarre.
And there's a new Eating Disorder, they just lick food. Not eat.
When I heard all about this on the radio in my car one day. I couldn't stop laughing. At these girls stories of licking food only.
Oh and little known fact. Severe anorexia can cause heart attack. And as I recall, pretty certain....thats why Karen Carpenter had a heart attack and died young.
So Puerto Ricans are considered Latino is the U.S Right?
And that's how they define themselves.
But not black. Definately not black.
Intriguing. Cause colour is more beautiful when it means something.
And sounds like they want their cake. And eat it too. Sorry, i mean Arroz Con Dulce.
It's their national Sweet Rice dish.
And it's definately not black.
It's white.
Well maybe the rasins in it are brown.
But not black.
As for heart attack, that is not little known, that is a well known complication of all eating disorders. The electrolytes are out of balance from malnutrition, vomiting, and laxative abuse. For the over eaters, they suffer from heart disease for obvious reasons.
Karen Carpenter had tea leaf remnants in her belly and had taken a laxative the day she died. Laxatives can cause electrolyte imbalance because the person becomes dehydrated from diarrhea.
There were some juicy blind items on CDAN about the Carpenters. They ae not blind items if you are old enough to have heard the gossip or if you have read certain books about them. I have heard this gossip before, so the blinds were just confirmation for me. They were revealed. You can go to CDAN and type The Carpenters or Karen Carpenter into the search box.
The blinds claimed that Richard Carpenter sexually abused his sister Karen since she was a young girl. She told her mother and nothing was done because Richard was the Golden Child. The abuse continued into adulthood.
According to another blind, Carol Burnett said the Carpenter's mother was the worst person she ever had on her show. Burnett said she had real food sent to Karen because she was scary skinny. The mother had the food taken away and said Karen did not need to eat.
Another celebrity, I think Dion Warwick, said she had to talk Karen into eating some soup.
Multiple sources say Richard and the mother had a Svengali-like hold on poor Karen. That piss poor husband she married was just as bad. He took her money.
I forget if Puerto Ricans are Hispanic or Latino. There is a difference but I do not remember which.
You do understand the point though. Yes, some Puerto Ricans do have some Native American and Spanish ancestry. Do the DNA test and you will find majority African DNA in most of the people.
I have Native American ancestry that has been verified via DNA testing. I don't go around telling people I am Indian or part Indian. Get this. That is common practice in the states! Some of these people have kinkier hair than me and have stronger African features but they will tell you they are full blooded Native American. Sure.
I also have significant European ancestry and some southeast Asian ancestry from multiple countries, all verified via DNA testing. There are rumors of Jewish/Hebrew ancestry but I do not have a Y chromosome. Need a male relative to verify this at the genetic level. Or a really good genealogist as Jews keep excellent ancestry records. I do not doubt the rumors but if this gets confirmed then having Jewish/Hebrew ancestry would explain a lot.
Guess what. I am black all day every day. And I am proud of it.
I still think Africans are Hebrews/Jews. I have already talked about that and presented evidence.
Let's stay real.
You can tell by looking at Puerto Ricans they have African ancestry. Look at the food they eat. Listen to the music they make. Listen to some of the words they use. Observe their religions practices. Even the Roman Catholics in Puerto Rico do not practice true Catholicism. There are elements of African tribal religions.
Not only that, almost all the Native Americans were killed off. While slave owners did use both men and women for sex, intentionally using slave women for breeding was extremely rare in the Americas. Following all this evidence, these people are black.
By the way. There are people with no African ancestry but they look like black Africans. There are also people with no European ancestry, but they look fully white, people with no Asian ancestry but you would swear they are Asian, etc. I say this because God made everyone. We need to stop hating one another.
I agree with you. They are black. But it appears they struggle with the concept.
We have the same but different issue with Aboriginal Australians. There is no DNA comparisons for Australian Aboriginals. You can't test it cause it dosent exist in DNA Databases.
A vast majority of those who claim to be Aboriginal in Australia. Quite often claim that they are absolutely not white. Even when they are clearly White. With the bluest eyes.
And they currently get away with this B.S. My fair argument is...How can you claim to be experiencing disadvantage if you are not actually black?
Why do they insist on claiming Aboriginality?.. and claim to all Australian Government agencies they are Aboriginal...despite being often, clearly White Australians.
Well it's a little thing called money.
The financial rewards for claiming to be Aboriginal in Australia are never ending. Enormous.
And also they get free legal representation. Preference. No waiting for completely subsidised housing. And can disappear from university for months on end without penalty and get a 10 percent Mark Up on their university assignments.
Non Aboriginal Australians are not entitled to ANY of this.
Aboriginals rarely finish their free degrees anyway. The White Aboriginals more often do. They take full advantage of the system. Elizabeth Warren style.
Actually what advantages you can get in Australia for claiming to be Aboriginal, is such a long list I cannot list it here. It's unbelievably lucrative.
I'm only putting up with it as a tax payer because all this money thrown at them is supposed to end a supposed gap in Aboriginals achieving. Participating.
It's not working at all. And in fact its causing reverse racism. Which unfortunately has caused some nutty Far Right groups to develop in Australia lately. Which I do not agree with at all.
The majority of Aboriginals both black and white or brown just use all the funding money for drink, drugs. And definately don't participate in the workforce. Their parents haven't. And they don't either as a rule.
So who creates this wealth so they can live a life of leisure? I do.
And all working Australians. And it's suffice to say we are in the majority getting pretty tired of it.
Last year DNA testing for Aboriginals was proposed. The Aboriginal Left ( who are all extremists by the way) went berserk.
Why?
Because they are completely aware that their DNA tests will return a result of Greek, Mediterranean or European ancestry. That's why.
And that's why alot have slightly tanned Olive skin. We had a huge migration experience of Europeans. And Mediterraneans to Australia after WW2.
There is no such thing as Aboriginal DNA ancestry. The most they would return as a result in a DNA test is New Guinea or Indonesian ancestry. Because that's what aboriginality is a mix of. But as a strong DNA result... its extremely rare.
Because there's been long history of inter marrying.
And that's a fact. I've read widely on the subject.
If the money for being 'aboriginal' was stopped tomorrow in Australia. No one in Australia would continue to claim to be Aboriginal.
And the Government wouldnt ask them as they do now, in all documents. 'Are you Aboriginal or a Torres Strait Islander (a claimed island race of Aboriginals)?'
Aboriginals try to claim that aboriginality is a feeling. Not a DNA test. Well in that case, being Portugeuse must be a feeling. Cause that's what my ancestry is.
Do I expected to be lucratively funded for it? No.
Trust me T.W. I understand the financial abuses thats going on with Puerto Rican identity. And U.S Taxpayer's dilemma and burden in this. Completely.
You hit the nail on the head, it's about the money.
I understand they can't test for Aboriginal DNA. But they should still test the people to see what DNA they can find. They can catch people scamming the system that way.
As for people with legitimate Native American ancestry
1) The person must prove tribal affiliation to get government benefits. This varies from tribe to tribe but in general the person, their mother, or their grandmother must have been born on the reservation. There is more but you get the point.
2) Not all tribes are recognized by the US government. The Tuscarora are part of the Iroquois nation. They are some of the first peoples the Europeans encountered. Funny how the US government does not recognize them as a tribe.
3) Hopis know juicy secrets about the Old Ways, such as the real meaning of the Swastika, the 4 races of humanity, energy portals, the "Last Days," The Great Spirit, etc. I wonder why our government does not recognize them either.
4) Swastikas existed before Adolph Hitler. Hopis and people of Nepal and Tibet use them. They say it is a sacred cross, not a symbol of hate. Interesting how Hitler would use a CROSS as a hate symbol...
5) The city of Sedona in Arizona is located on a healing energy portal. Now you know why so many alternative health clinics and yoga retreats are there.
6) The Indians will tell you not to go to Burning Man or Coachella festivals because the land is cursed and full of evil spirits. Notice how a man always runs into the burning effigy. Now you know the real reason it is called Burning Man.
7) They will also tell you to avoid Hollywood, as it is full of evil spirits. Some Dark Arts practitioners will tell you the same thing too.
Aboriginal Australians, including the White ones who claim to be black.... oppose it fiercely, every time DNA Testing for Aboriginality is proposed by Australian politicians.
They literally go berserk. And claim it has racist connotations.
They oppose it fiercely because they know damn well it will prove they are either Indonesion or Mediterranean... Greek or Italian. Or just White European.
Not Aboriginal.
And the money flowing into their bank accounts each fort night. Will stop. When this is confirmed.
Another thing. There is no govt expectation for Aboriginal Australians to work. Ever.
They claim unemployment benefits continuously. But in reality are not seriously hassled to work and live deliberately in remote regions where there is no work.
On the other hand.. White Australians are persecuted to look for work while on unemployment benefits. Relentlessly.
All Govt initiatives to coax Aboriginals to work have pretty much failed. For many decades. The Cape York Pennisula fiasco was a complete funding failure.
Some might argue I'm being unfair. I'll argue that while I'm paying huge Taxes to support a whole population to live a life of leisure. Of fishing, hunting, drinking and taking drugs.
Then I'm entitled to judge it unfair. And want reforms immediately.
They will come....in the form of DNA Testing. Cause increasingly the public demand Science to back legislation. Not a 'feeling'. Or this belonging to a particular family from 4 generations ago.
Are you sure you don't like in Amerikkka?
Seriously, I agree with your opinions about this.
I don't like havin to financially carry them.
Plus. Aboriginal Australians. Real ones... have many talents. To contribute.
And they are not utilizing them. And this I believe is causing them to develop drink and drug addictions. Bad ones.
A life with no purpose, aims or achievements doesn't suit anybody. And causes depression. No matter what race you are.
I want them participating fully. Turning up for our compulsory voting. Finishing degrees and working.
Havin a say. And building Australia.
I also would like very much... the Aboriginal Flag they developed themselves, integrated with the Australian Flag asap. Not separate. Together.
I'm sick of every Australia Day being wrecked by Aboriginal Extremists. Waving that flag of theirs, endlessly protesting.
Instead of going to the beach and barbeques like everyone else on that day. Havin a few a drinks and celebrating our wonderful country.
I went to the beach last Australia Day. Like everyone else. Good music, in the sea swimming, all waving when a Jet Squadron did a fly over, right above us. Good time.
But No, Aboriginal Extremists spent the day protesting that Australia is a colony that offends them.
Earlier that morning they had spray painted anti Australia slogans on the beach promenade.
But heres the thing, they don't protest every fortnight, when $950 in Welfare Benefits from us drops into their bank accounts.
Anyway. I'll say no more. It's a controversial issue. And an expensive one. For working Australians.
I’m just now seeing your most recent comment.
I wonder how many Aboriginals want to be part is society but are taught or ordered not to do so. I think your assessment is accurate.
