We owe it, therefore, to candor and to the amicable relations existing between the United States and these other powers to declare that we should consider any attempt on their part to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety.
The Monroe Doctrine, 1823
According to Marcell Felipe, the protests in Cuba are “a rejection of socialism and communism.” In the United States we are told a different story. It is, they say, all about COVID-19 and vaccine availability. What is the truth? Marcell Felipe says, “No one is protesting COVID-19. People are asking specifically for freedom.” People are chanting, “Down with the dictatorship!”
Last Sunday I joined Nevin Gussack’s Populist Roundtable Podcast to discuss the situation in Cuba and related issues. As it turned out, we spiraled off topic to discuss (at our peril) communism’s emergence into the U.S. Democratic Party.

It was the Bush and Blair war on terror can’t you remember we were all brainwashed after 9 11
When did Bush and Blair make the case for invading Afghanistan? I remember Bush 41 spent about six months garnering World support to invade Iraq, but then wasn’t it O’bama who pulled us out of Iraq and sent troops to Afghanistan without fanfare?
It is always important to devise your strategy to assure future defeat. Or so it seems.
Re: Afghanistan
My two cents: A people that has no will to defend themselves from radical marauders is not worthy of American lives and treasure to do so for them. It has long been obvious that the whole nation has propped up by U.S. $$ and guns, but without any organic courage whatsoever (other than the Taliban of course). Twenty friggin’ years!!
Therefore, the Afghan people deserve to return to a despotic, 7th Century A.D. life, and I shed no tears for them. How shameful and cowardly.
It’s not quite that simple. Military analysts and Afghans say the problem was the military was utterly dysfunctional, despite Biden’s claims to the contrary. Wesponry, ammunition and food were being taken and sold, leaving soldiers literally starving or unarmed. Look at the generals with golden homes and the President who was propped up by the USA. Evidently, there was also no 300,000 strong Afghan army. It might have been only a quarter of that.
We don’t know if they would have fought since they were incapable of fighting to begin with.
Even the ARVN in South Vietnam fought better, under even less favorable circumstances. These Afghans were at least half in the Taliban camp, inside themselves, from the start. Can’t satisfy the human spirit with spiritually empty secular pablum.
That is true.
Jeff, not sure if you can comment, a Hong Kong twitter contact was discussing with me on Twitter that since the Chinese Communist Party has fully taken back Hong Kong, the phase of liquidation has begun, from what I was told many of the activists that were part of the Chinese Communist Party controlled Hong Kong Democracy Movement are now either in prison or have disappeared. When I told the Hong Kong Twitter contact, the end game or end phase is the most ugliest and painful to watch and then the Hong Kong Twitter contact asked what I meant by the end phase is the most ugliest and painful, I simply responded to the Hong Kong Twitter contact that the Chinese Communist Party has no more use for the Hong Kong Democracy Movement and their activists:
An example of the liquidation taking place in Hong Kong

China was in more noticeably in recession than was the United States, but China’s recession was largely due to the fact that credit had dried up, and Americans weren’t buying as much cheap Chinese crap on credit. Every time that China’s economy grows at a rate lover than 3%, China does something, Draconian. As Hong Kong being the most ruthlessly pure Capitalist society on the planet, and even HK couldn’t support China’s entire economy under recession, China seems to have seen no more point in tolerating a relatively free, Hong Kong, nor any reason to appease US demands for China to respect human Rights.
Mr. Nyquist, you said;
”If I have made mistakes, he will catch them. If not, then he will have to agree with me. ”
Fair enough, although i’m no pedantic, lol. I can ”agree”, with the caveat that I am already personally against things (for example) like what would be described as the ”Primakov Doctrine” in Russia, with regards to foreign policy (trying to preserve national sovereignty of a great power geopolitically, by balancing the West with the Muslim powers, the Global South, the Asiatics, and empowering them, may well be a self-defeating course of action, as Machiavellian and ”Realpolitik” as it seems). My views on the Monarchy and Aristocracy alone would preclude any Republican activity on my part in any case. Which leaves me ”only” a collective miracle of grace to inspire me.
. My interest tends towards the philosophical and theological as it is however, especially the meta-historical sweep of the ages, the observing of the hand of Divine Providence throughout history, where trends seem to take the nations as a whole.. The influence in particular of the ideas which have moved mankind, seen and unseen forces at work.
”Come, and See!”….
Pilgrim: I have a question for you. Recently one of Putin’s advisors said that China and Russia are winning the Cold War. America is behind. Why is Putin lining up with a China?
Good question. Who is Putin’s advisor who said this? That context could be important. It’s quite possible-and I’m not being disingenuous-that such people are reflexive and reactionary products of the Cold War, akin to certain ”Neoconservatives” in the West. Amero-phobia, Russophobia. Old habits die hard with some I think.
I think though that I have mentioned the possibly short-sighted ”Primakov Doctrine”. It is believed by some that President Putin initially wanted more peace, business, and mutual good will with the West, but geopolitics have gotten in the way. In recent years the turn to China and the East has developed. I am leary of them, but it’s not like I want war or a cold peace with them or anyone else for that matter. I would not ”line up” with China unless I saw a mortal threat elsewhere, like Stalin and Roosevelt and Churchill against Hitler and the Fascists.
With that in mind, I found an interesting article on Katehon.com, which is pretty Duginist of a website, but differences in writers does exist. It’s from a ”John Grey”;
https://katehon.com/en/article/west-isnt-dying-its-ideas-live-china
He actually makes China seem pretty Fascist, with what seems to be a growing cult of Han supremacy.
But I mentioned a reflexive Cold War mentality in West and East alike, and found these comments from the article interesting in light of your thinking about the same subjects;
”But the differences between Russia and China today are profound. Putin’s Russia is an authoritarian regime in which the state, though violent, is weak. Its spine is the former Soviet intelligence services; but sections of them are semi-privatised, some working in opaque collusion with organised crime. Amorphous private armies operate in Russia’s near-abroad and other zones of global conflict. Putin’s authority appears to be unchallenged in the Kremlin, but he exercises it with the tacit consent of oligarchs who in turn depend on his patronage.”
”There are signs of decay in the regime. An earlier phase of Putinism in which the population was controlled through “post-modern” media techniques and the management of apathy has given way to one that relies more on the threat of force. Nonetheless, the control of the population by the state is less comprehensive than at any time under the Soviet system until it began its slide into anarchy with Gorbachev’s liberalising reforms from the mid-1980s.”
”In 2017 the Kremlin declined to celebrate the centenary of the Russian Revolution, with Putin reportedly asking, “What is there to celebrate?” The view of some regime-friendly Russians that Putin, an archetypal product of the Soviet system, is an essentially anti-communist leader is not wholly groundless. Yet the core institutions and methods through which he governs are Soviet inheritances. The “little green men”, for example – Russian irregular forces that effected the invasion of Ukraine – were following the Bolshevik practice of maskirovka (deception). His cyber-warfare applies a similar strategy.”
”The fantasy of world revolution has long since been abandoned, along with the goal of transforming society, but the state through which Putin rules remains Leninist in its structure.”
Very interesting article to me, different in some ways than what Dugin offers himself.
I cannot say 100%, God knows. What I can say is that in the Liturgy I pray for ”right-believing kings and queens” over the Orthodox Commonwealth, not right-believing ”Presidents and Prime Ministers”, if you get my point, as I do not believe that to be something easy to do or try. I do not believe that conflict is desirable or inevitable between Russia and America, and that peace is possible, a peace which does not undermine but even strengthens the national sovereignty.
Pilgrim: please explain this — https://www.rt.com/russia/530730-new-cold-war-opinion-kremlin-adviser/
Self serving. Putin’s advisor saying how Putin is getting good advice. Putin does have more experience as leader of Russia, than any US President is allowed to gain. Maybe Trump will return to be dictator for life?
So happy to see someone else sounding the alarm about giving our entire military an experimental vaccine!

Jeff, maybe you should act now – I suspect someone is trying to get your blog deplatformed. Their conversation is veering in a pretextual direction, I think. Apologies if I’m just imagining things.
I agree with the previous poster. This “ZT” person, I bet, is a paid troll who intends to “spam” this blog to drown out meaningful discussion of issues; to use an analogy, it’s like white noise. His posts, as I have remarked on before, are too bizarrely long and are too tangential to believe otherwise. After looking at several of his messages, he doesn’t strike me as an honest, well-meaning reader.
🤣 How you amuse me with your pot-shots, court jester! I will take the high road by not stooping to your level of trading snipes.
I am deleting his posts as my new hobby.
Janelle LaTrouvere, I have been reading this comment thread way too much, lol. Because, I remember. Several posts
Sorry, I accidentally hit the send button. I remember several posts up, ZT proposed Rob Roy as a person who would make a good leader for us. I dont know if you have read any Sir Walter Scott books, but Rob Roy was the title character in one.
But I have a new name for him, from another Scott novel, seeing as you also thought of him as a court jester…Wamba, the fool in Ivanhoe, lol
I am deleting as I find things.
Definitely for the best. Actually, I found it kind of hilarious that he basically called me an “NSA spy”. Nothing could be further from the truth. I have no secret government contacts.
@ZT: Since you’re all about “repeating gossip”, why don’t you have a listen to Missy Elliot’s hit song “Gossip Folks”? You could learn a thing or two from it, plus its music video is totally awesome 🙂
ZT is very foolish and annoying. Have you ever watched a puppy annoy the crap out of an older dog, until the more mature dog finally gets tired of it and snaps at the pup? That’s kind of what ZT reminds me of- that little, annoying runt.
I am deleting all his posts from now on.
I do draw some unusual trolls.
You sure do. In the short time that I’ve been commenting here, I have noticed that.
You know what they say about flak and being over the target.
Some people must have very boring lives, to actually get paid to troll good internet sites. Mr. Nyquist, I have finished reading Ideas Have Consequences, and am currently in the middle of The Fool and His Enemy. I thought Mr. Weaver’s book was very good, but there were a couple of bones I had to spit out. I plan to read it a couple more times. I didnt follow very well on his discussion of the semanticists, but I understood enough to realize he meant, that there were men trying to bring our language down to basically a “materialist” language, with no homage or reference to the metaphysical reality. Am I right?
Your book is very well-written and enlightening. It is hard for me to wrap my mind around the fact that there are people such as Radiofort, who cannot even comprehend one iota of the things you bring out in your book, or that Weaver does in his.
Both books are very thought-provoking, and eye-opening
I had read “Ivanhoe” in high school; I had loved it. I do remember that jester character that you mentioned.
Very fun novel — Walter Scott’s best.
I am glad you like it.
@JRNyquist: I love historical fiction; I have since I was a child. I should give “Ivanhoe” a reread; I haven’t seen it in years.
If you like real history adventure stories, I enjoyed Jonathan Clements’s book on Mannerheim. What a life!
Also, G.A. Henty’s historical fiction novels. Though written for boys, any age can enjoy them, and learn some history. Also by Scott, the Waverly series is very good.
Thank you. I do like historical biographies, too. Did you ever read any of English historian Dan Jones’ work? He writes mostly about Medieval European history; one of his fascinating books is “The Plantagenets” about the English dynasty: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15811559-the-plantagenets?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=rmfBTQv6pR&rank=1
You understand Weaver very well. He has an intriguing thesis. He later called it “an intuition of a situation.”
I need to read it a couple more times, but he puts words to the gut feelings, and thoughts I have about the days we live in.
As do you. I never thought about the rise of all these crazy ideas in America as the New Religion, but that is exactly what it is.
On Weaver, though the book was published in 1948, it could just as easily be written today. I wonder how he would describe the internet as another aspect of the Stereopticon?
Mr. Nyquist, you asked me about Sergei Karaganov in this article
”Pilgrim: please explain this — https://www.rt.com/russia/530730-new-cold-war-opinion-kremlin-adviser/”
He is not a one-dimensional gray apparatchik out of the Cold War, as one can see from the article (for one, glad the Kremlin isn’t sending money to clients). This is what says about his views on China;
”When it comes to China, Karaganov dubs the relationship a “semi-alliance,” noting that it came about due to the West’s geostrategic failures. However, the political scientist warned against “selling the country’s sovereignty” to Beijing, repeating the mistakes of Europe’s close friendship with Washington in the past.”
”Karaganov is well-known for his favorable opinion of relations between Russia and China, and has pushed for a closer relationship between Beijing and Moscow.”
“Knowing Russian history and the psychology of our people and political class, I think that we will not sell our sovereignty to anyone,” he added. “I also hope for the wisdom of the Chinese political class. If I were Chinese, I would never do anything against Russia.”
So he knows the concerns and fears…
This is what he says about Europe and America, the West, in the Article;
”Furthermore, China isn’t Russia’s only close partner, Karaganov stated. Moscow now has friendly relations with most Arab countries, Iran, India, and even with some European Union states, such as Hungary and Austria.
“We are seeing a watershed. We will find out who will be part of ‘Greater America’ – like the US and Northwest Europe – and who will be on the side of ‘Greater Eurasia.’”
“The big question is where Germany will end up,” he concluded, referring to the dominant NATO power that has embarked on the controversial Nord Stream 2 project with Russia, despite staunch objections from NATO allies and Washington.”
Pure Geopolitics.
He is a Eurasianist, who thinks that two (or at least two blocs) blocs will form; a ”Greater America” and a ”Greater Eurasia”. I do not know how to credit such talk, it’s wisdom or foolishness, being aware of the Geopoliticians but I’m not fond of Materialist Determinism in any form. Is it better than Marxist-Leninism?
Maybe we’ll see it’s application.
It reads like Dugin, and fits into Leninism in a way that nobody notices.
In any case the gentleman is aware of concerns among both politicians and the people about this Asiatic turn.
And Mr. Karaganov, I might add, is on the Western Elites ”Trilateral Commission” and on the International Advisory Board of the Anglo-American ”Council on Foreign Relations.” That may say one thing to you, perhaps another thing to a regular average Russian patriot. Either way, a close embrace of Eurasia upon Russia? I am not sure that this will work out well for anyone.

Christ, what humiliation!
This is what defeat tastes like.
Exactly. Sold down the river by a bunch of avaricious imbeciles for one of the crassest of motivators: cash. What people will do for a buck–it’s astounding. Sometimes I wish that capital punishment in this country still involved hanging; that is the fate that these party puppets deserve.
I’d just like to throw a few abstract threads out to you to comment on I feel unfit to comment as I am no high brow but here’s we go
Do you believe everything going on is part of the great reset to bring in the new world order one religion lucifarien, a one world gov, depopulation,and a pan euraisuan state?
I have listened to two separate shocking testomies online in the last couple of weeks one is by an American woman called Jessie Czebotar she claims to be from one of the top satanic bloodline families she says the world are run by theses families she says there are 13 bloodline families and one hidden one which she says is the Muslim brotherhood she says they want every Christian dead and we’ve all got to watch out for the third temple in Jerusalem being completed as the man who stands at the opening ceremony unbeknown to everyone except the chosen few will be the antichrist who will shortly after cause war as we’ve never known I know his identity she left clues he is from the line of David the biblical line I believe she’s kosher I darnt give the man’s name out on here as you all know him she says we cannot stop what’s coming to us all just try to survive she says there going to make our lives hell for the next ten years
The other person I heard was a fella on the run hiding in South America he claims the Syrian war was an excuse for putin to knock down all the Syrian infrastructure and for the rich arab states to donate money to rebuild Syria full of smart cities which he says are already being built by the Chinese in China and Africa he says in ten years time Iran will be called greater persia as it will incorporate a much larger landmass he claims Israel will be gigantic taking Egypt and palastinisn land he talked at length about the belt and road project and how China for years has bought strategic ports he claims to know that there’ll be a universal currancy digital and you’ll get credits into your account every week for specific items food elec etc any credits you do not spend in that week will be taken from you so you can never save anything if you have a mortgage they’ll take your home off you you can live in it but the state will own it you’ll rent it and pay with your credits every month.
To the comments of Jessie Czebotar she says the Chinese have a satanic bloodline family called Lee
I should address this in an article. Please keep reminding me if I do not follow through. In brief: Your question touches on the occult and on certain cosmological theories which are connected to latter day conspiracy theories. Such theories can only be entertained if occult societies are viewed as the primary movers in the world. Unfortunately we cannot empirically validate secret things, especially if they are rooted in the dimension of mind or spirit. Some would even postulate an extraterrestrial dimension of planetary control. So our discourse, should it veer in this direction, would become purely speculative. Facts and evidence seem to fade away once we enter the dreamland of magical powers and invisible entities. I generally stay away from things that cannot be proven or credibly argued. If the Devil or secret blood lines, or aliens are controlling our destiny from the shadows, how could I ever know the truth? What I can comment on, in this matter, is the credibility of direct witnesses and the logical consistency of claims that cannot be empirically validated. Is there a link to these witnesses?
Jeff, this stream is becoming unwieldy – I’m sure you only post when you have something significant to say, but the immediate significance of events alone is enough to put up a new post, so we (I!) can see the wood for the trees – and I really want to follow what is being said here.
Thx.
Yes Jeff there are links to these witnesses Jessie Czebotar has a website called Illuminate the Darkness. Com which I do not follow and also the other witness if I remember correctly is called Brenda o Connell and I think he has a channel on Brighton Talpiot talk he came on on an article posted on an article posted on before it’s news the man who posted it calls himself The Last Act
Misspelling again it’s Brendan o Connell Jeff not Brenda sorry
I’ve also found just now a website for o Connell it’s Brendan o Connell targeted individuals. Com I’ve looked on it but it won’t let you access anything but go on it Jeff and scroll down until you see an article with the words in capital SITREP it’s hard to decipher but shocking about the ccp and what there doing
Thanks.
Curious if anyone can comment, is there any chance there are really 30,000 US troops in Taiwan? Senator John Cornyn is on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. Any thoughts on this story?
https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202108/1231686.shtml
If they are there, they would be trapped and isolated at the beginning of a conflict.
Good god. That might be a fate worse than death.
When I had said this, I was mistakenly under the impression that you were talking about all of the Americans who are currently “trapped” in Afghanistan and who are waiting to get out. Those poor people have been on my mind a lot lately. The Taliban are not known for mercy or for compassion.
It’s shameful the way that the Biden Administration is just ignoring them and their plight. And now they want to expedite the resettling of Afghan “refugees” who have no connection to the U.S. military, instead? It’s incredible to see where this Administration’s priorities lie.
The priority seems to be to undermine our allies’ faith in our commitments.
Jeff (or anyone else qualified to answer), I sent General Chi Haotian’s speech to several friends and family members. One of them came back and said they thought it seemed like it could be fake for three reasons. First, because of nods to a couple of conspiracy theories— the idea that the Israelis are engaged in genetic testing to find some sort of bioweapon against people of Arab descent, and a Bill Gates/George Soros globalist conspiracy theory. Second, he thought some of the concepts seemed too Western— he mentioned, for instance, the idea of a roundtable discussion, and wondered if that term was ever used in Eastern communication. Third, he thought it seemed almost like the plot of a bad movie for an evil leader to telegraph his long-term deception to so many people that his entire speech was able to be recorded and leaked to the Epoch Times. Do you know how the Epoch Times verified that this speech was genuine? Also, if you’d like to respond to any of these criticisms, I’d be interested to hear your thoughts.
For those unfamiliar with the speech, the full text can be viewed here:
https://jrnyquist.blog/2019/09/11/the-secret-speech-of-general-chi-haotian/amp/
People today do not have a very good sense of reality, or of evil. Your friends and family have led very soft and sheltered lives. I cannot relate to their expectation that the Chinese leaders are normal. No. These leaders are psychopaths. So what do they expect a psychopathic elite to sound like behind closed doors? These criminals administer the biggest political death camp system in history; they are conducting a genocide against the Uyghurs, they have crushed the Tibetans, and they supply forcibly harvested organs from political prisoners to the world! As far as originating conspiracy theories about evil capitalist tycoons, need I remind your friends and family that communism has generated most of anti-capitalist conspiracy theories in circulation today. That is — in propaganda terms — their stock and trade. Besides all that, there are details in the speech that were confirmed to me as authentic by a GRU defector who worked in China and had direct knowledge of future Russia/China war plans against the USA.
I suppose that some may say that we in the U.S. are a decadent lot. So many people here seem blissfully ignorant of what happens beyond their own town, or beyond their own state, for example.
You’re right, Mr. Nyquist, in that a lot of people today seem to think that hardships such as those that their ancestors faced generations ago died along with them, but that is not really true. Such mass traumas tend to occur in cycles, right?
I don’t know if you’ve ever read it, but the book “Generations” by Neil Howe and William Strauss, illustrates this idea in a rather compelling way.
Have not read them, but we have just lived through an unprecedented era of plenty in the luckiest place to be born.
Hmm, I do find it more than a bit odd that a retiring Chinese general would be making references to George Soros and Bill Gates. I wonder who his audience was. I’d venture to say that the average Chinese soldier has no idea who Bill Gates or George Soros is, but perhaps he was speaking to peers, not inferiors, who were familiar with Western globalists, or who had been propagandists. Still, his speech seems almost too Western-centric. Either he has an outstanding command of both Western and Eastern military history, or it was written by a Westerner. However, I have nothing else to compare it to. I’m unconvinced one way or the other.
Chi was Defense Minister of China at the time of the speech. His listeners were the very top officials of the Communist Party, not common soldiers. They know more about America than most Americans. That happens to be their job. You have undoubtedly heard of Sun Tzu? One of his main teachings was to know your enemy. And they do.
@JRNyquist: “We have just lived through an unprecedented era of plenty, in the luckiest place to be born”.
I agree with this; we have, dare I say it, been blessed.
Jeff, not sure if you can comment in regards to the Grand Solar Minimum, many people like Adapt2030 (David Dubyne) are warning about high food prices caused by adverse weather due to the Grand Solar Minimum, it also seems both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere are being affected as well:
https://electroverse.net/unseasonal-snow-blasts-kashmir-south-africas-food-prices-soar-due-to-extreme-freeze-european-crop-woes-rare-low-level-snow-hits-tasmania/
It’s only the beginning. After 2025 it gets worse.
Little Ice Age 2.0
Looks like it.

Good thing I bought plenty of heavy, cold weather-appropriate clothing from L.L. Bean during the past year! 😁
Temperatures will literally “fall off a cliff.” That is the statistical “consensus.”
Whether this happens in 2023, 2025, 2028, or 2032 is irrelevant in the “cosmic” sense.
But it is highly significant to the “Elites.”
Remember General “Buck” Turgidson’s “Mine Shaft Gap.”
There is another kind of shaft gap, now playing out with 10,000 Americans trapped in Afghanistan, and 4,000 Christian Afghans who are dead if they cannot get out. Who will ever trust Washington again?
Morning Jeff I would like you and anyone interested to look on an article posted yest on
Before it’s news.com
The article is titled
Gerald Celente The collapse has already begun, watch out for China. The biggest financial bubble is about to burst
Read all the script first before watching any of the videos when doing this look out for
And its not just china’s problem it is highlighted in blue click on it and watch the short video
The next thing as I haven’t had time to watch all the videos is to listen to the second video down titled
Who Really runs the world stick it out until the end as Mr Celente is very abrupt
Jeff I wish your books were on amazon UK please look in to how you can get them on there your missing out on a Magor market
I thought I was in UK. Okay, I will look to make it available in UK.
Mr. Nyquist, you said of the ”shaft” in Afghanistan;
”There is another kind of shaft gap, now playing out with 10,000 Americans trapped in Afghanistan, and 4,000 Christian Afghans who are dead if they cannot get out. Who will ever trust Washington again?”
Indeed. It reminds me at this moment of the relations between Hannibal and the Carthaginian Government. Carthage being riven apart by Oligarchical rivalries and political factionalism, Hannibal never received the aid he needed to dispatch Rome, for over 12 years he was forced to meander up and down Italy, and the Carthaginian government only called upon him to leave Italy when Scipio was practically at the gates of Carthage itself.
It’s hard to argue with your historical analogy.
Mr. Nyquist, you said;
”Chi was Defense Minister of China at the time of the speech. His listeners were the very top officials of the Communist Party, not common soldiers. They know more about America than most Americans. That happens to be their job. You have undoubtedly heard of Sun Tzu? One of his main teachings was to know your enemy. And they do. ”
This remains basically true of any serious military, to regard even a potential Enemy as an Enemy, and even if the report of the speech turns out to be not altogether accurate or true or not. Schmidtt is very popular in China, I hear, and I think you know about his writings on the friend/enemy political distinction. Lenin too, is useful to them because of his turning of Clausewitz on his ear, where the dictum becomes ” Politics is the continuation of war by other means”.
Carl Schmitt is a very important theorist. There are uncomfortably profound insights in his book, “The Concept of the Political.”
@JRNyquist: With trolls like you have and like you have had, I’m starting to see why you close these threads after a week. It’s probably a wise practice.
I should probably close them after three days, LOL.

This is no coincidence; what convenient timing.
These people are so predictable. When will they be held accountable for their blunders?
