Deadly lake-effect blizzard buries Buffalo in nearly 4 feet of snow

The massive amounts of snow have caused major travel problems throughout the city and resulted in at least multiple fatalities this Christmas, 2022.  The same powerful storm that brought blizzard conditions and severe cold to a large portion of the central United States generated a major lake-effect snow event prior to Christmas. Conditions have turned deadly, with at least 17 fatalities reported in the greater Buffalo area amid nearly 4 feet of snow.

Members of the National Guard were dispatched to Erie County Saturday morning to get people out of stranded cars, targeting the hardest-hit spots in the Buffalo metro area.

DVD Movie Auditions with Cory Brandon, Rick Cassidy, Ric Lutze, Linnea Quigley, Harry Hurwitz, Marita Ditmore, Rhonda Jo Petty

DVD Movie Auditions

A rare historic glimpse at the unique actors and bizarre personalities that showed up in Hollywood at a casting call for the erotic Fairy Tales 2 in 1978! Featuring a 20 year old Linnea Quigley (Fairy Tales, Creepozoids) who does a nude dance in a dungeon set as part of an S&M fantasy. The “casting director” is Michael Pataki who also directed Charles Band’s first horror film Mansion of the Doomed.

The auditions are a movie.  They are staged and not real.  They are supposedly based on some real stories.  But it does have the scream queen Linnea Quigley in it. It also has the late Rick Cassidy in it who did both gay and straight movies.  He got into a bit of controversy when he did a movie with Traci Lords who used a fake birth certificate and was 2 years younger than what the producers of the movie believed.  In other words, she was too young for that kind of movie.

Bob Iger Brought Out of Imaginary Retirement and named Disney CEO Replacing Bob Chapek, who replaced Iger in 2020 as CEO

The company is coming off a lackluster earnings report, while growing its streaming business, its streaming business lost $1.5 Billion in the fourth quarter.

Iger has an almost mythical, some might say exaggerated, status as the leader of Disney (DIS). He spent 15 years as CEO and was instrumental in acquiring major brands like Pixar, Marvel and Lucasfilm, the home to Star Wars. Iger also closed the $71 billion deal to buy most of 21st Century Fox and kicked off the streaming revolution at Disney (DIS) with the creation of Disney (DIS)+ in November 2019.

Disney said Sunday that Iger has agreed to serve as CEO for two years with “a mandate from the Board to set the strategic direction for renewed growth and to work closely with the Board in developing a successor to lead the Company at the completion of his term.”

CEO Bob Chapek isn’t very liked by people on the right or the so called nerd community.

I think the more complex something is, the more you really have to drill down into the basics and we want our content to reflect the rich, diverse world that we live in. And, again, I guess that’s another way of saying, ‘Catering to your audience.’ But the world is a rich, diverse place and we want our content to reflect that. And we’re so blessed to have the greatest content creators and they see it similarly.

“I always say, when someone walks down Main Street and look at the castle, you’re not thinking ‘I’m on one side of the political spectrum or the other,’ You have a shared belief in all the wonderful aspects of what Disney is. I want to use Disney to bring people together, and I think we’ll do that by diverse stories and diverse characters.”

And of course if you are too stupid to know that identity politics does not bring people together but instead segregates and divides people into groups, then you don’t belong in politics or the movie business. The elite media’s agenda to change America from a melting pot where groups share the best of their cultures into a divided society screaming “cultural appropriation” is not good business. And more to the point, if you are too stupid to correctly cast a movie where the actor can be accepted as a given character, again, you don’t belong in the movie business. Although Disney has a disgusting history of being a government propaganda arm in helping the government to hypnotize the masses into believing what the government wants them to believe, at least in the past the propaganda did not stand in the way of entertaining people. Very few people of any background are much entertained by token characters either playing a stereotype or the anti-thesis of a stereotype or seeing white replacement theory being played out right before their eyes.

War movies can be entertaining. Identity Politic Movies can make you to never want to see a movie again but instead make you want to watch someone playing a war game while screaming the n word against their white or black or who cares what their race is, opponents.

Movies should help you to escape reality and make you feel good or perhaps think a little bit in an entertaining way. It is even okay if a movie moves you to the point of wanting to cry. But movies should never try to make you apologize to any group of people who hate you and want you dead.  And anyone who makes such a terrorist propaganda film should be put on a no fly list.

Will Iger turn Disney around? No. Behind the scenes he had already cut Bob Chapek’s balls off and made him cry. Iger never really stopped running the company into the ground. Many if not most of the mistakes made at Disney were not made by Chapek though he defended those mistakes because he wanted to keep his cock from being cut off by Iger. But make no mistake, those mistakes made at Disney were Iger’s mistakes. Stockholders should fire the entire damn board and hire a new board to bring in new leadership.

Bulletin 11-02-2022

10-29-2022 updated 11-2-2022

I restored episodes of the Hearthville Serial Book 8.

I have made changes in the tip page.

Ad clicks and purchases will add token and that will encourage new content.

But tokens will be subtracted not with the addition of new content, but subtracted based on the stat page.  Views of both old and new content will cause tokens to be subtracted.  The level of subtraction will be based not just on page views but level of advertisement sales. The lack of sales will eventually cause the subtraction to happen quicker.  The faster the subtraction, the slower the addition of new content will be.  The greater the sales level the slower the subtraction and the faster new content will be added.  Level of new content is based on the number of tokens hitting goal levels with new ad sales.

And a reminder.  I have no way to know who buys what.  I have no way to know who is viewing the content.

dill baby drill, oil that is

 

 

If you read online, and who doesn’t, you might think that under Biden the USA is actually drilling less oil now than in the past. In truth, Biden doesn’t want you to think he is oil friendly.  And he did close down the building of the Keystone XL pipeline.  I believe there are news stories about land Biden has protected from oil exploration.  I can’t find the actual figures on that.  But Biden is issuing drilling permits at a level just as high as Trump if not much higher.

As of 10/10/2022 we are drilling 12 million barrels of oil per day.  The US is exporting 4.6 million barrels of oil per day.  There have been some days where the export level has exploded to 10 million barrels of oil per day.  At the moment we are exporting more oil than we import.

U.S. refining capacity has fallen by 5.4%, or 1.03 million bpd to 17.9 million bpd since it peaked in 2019 at 18.98 million bpd. Capacity in 2021 dropped 4.5% to 18.13 million bpd. Profit margins at U.S. refiners are up sharply despite higher oil and gas costs as demand soars for gasoline, diesel and jet fuel.  And this is where Biden does get the blame for higher fuel cost.  New refineries are unlikely to be built in the United States due to daunting environmental standards and policies that the Biden administration has been implementing to reduce petroleum product consumption in the future.   Not only are new refineries not being built but five refineries have shut down in the United States in just the past two years.  The higher prices for energy at the pump is the outgrowth of those policies and at least one source of the inflation that is wrecking the US economy.

Google Stadia Will Shut Down in 2023, All Purchases to Be Refunded

Stadia is being discontinued

Google initially announced Stadia during the Game Developers’ Conference in San Francisco in 2019. Via Stadia, Google claimed, it would allow users to play video games via almost any networked device, via cloud access to Google’s servers.

The pitch to consumers was that you don’t have to spend thousands on high-end consoles or PCs to play video games when you can log into Stadia via your current tablet or phone and run the newest Assassin’s Creed on maximum settings.

Now four years later, or there about, it is being discontinued.

People using Stadia will still to be able to access to their game libraries, including Pro games if you had an active Pro subscription as of Thursday. In an email sent to players, Google warned that publisher support for games may vary, and it’s possible that your gameplay experience may be affected during the shut-down period (suggesting that some games could vanish or lose features early).

Explaining the move, Stadia vice president and general manager Phil Harrison noted Google’s investments in gaming through its Google Play digital distribution service, its cloud tech and YouTube streaming.

“A few years ago, we also launched a consumer gaming service, Stadia,” he said in the blog post. “And while Stadia’s approach to streaming games for consumers was built on a strong technology foundation, it hasn’t gained the traction with users that we expected so we’ve made the difficult decision to begin winding down our Stadia streaming service.”

Many employees on the Stadia team will be reassigned to other roles within Google, the blog post noted.

Opinion:

Google could not deliver a healthy user base or eco-system for game developers. Stadia never had a huge number of users and the warnings and bannings did not help Stadia. Imagine if youtube were just starting today under its current censorship cloud, does anyone think they would succeed? Remember Google Video also was failing even before they bought and turned their focus toward youtube. And remember how google attempted to strong arm their users into using google plus and yet it also failed. I can’t remember the name of it but there was even a google version of twitter that didn’t survive. Right now, because of censorship, google search is crippled and in time even that may fail. It certainly is not what it was in 2018.

Bank of England will buy UK bonds at ‘whatever scale’ necessary to halt crash

London CNN Business —

The Bank of England said Wednesday it would buy UK government debt “on whatever scale is necessary” in an emergency intervention to halt a bond market crash that it warned could threaten financial stability.

Investors have been dumping the pound and UK bonds since the government of new Prime Minister Liz Truss on Friday unveiled a huge package of tax cuts and increased borrowing aimed at getting the economy moving and protecting households and businesses from sky-high energy bills this winter.

Storm Ian strengthens to Category 4 hurricane as millions urged to evacuate Florida Gulf Coast

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis warned that people in Collier, Lee, Charlotte and Sarasota counties were no longer safe to evacuate and urged people to get off the roads and stay inside.

“You need to get to higher ground, you need to get to structures that are safe,” DeSantis said, adding that widespread power outages would leave millions without electricity once the storm strikes.

U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency chief Deanne Criswell said she worried that too few Florida residents were taking the threat seriously. [opinion: Apparently women in the Biden administration are too stupid to know that evacuation requires gasoline and in many areas around Tampa, even yesterday, it was nearly impossible to buy gas. Or maybe evil Connecticut Yankees like Biden want Southerners stranded on the side of the road as a huge storm approaches.]

New malware can steal your credit card details — and it’s spreading fast

Initially spotted in August 2022 by Cyfirma, the malware, hidden away within game cracks, has a lot of power. It can steal data found within Chromium and Gecko-based browsers, including passwords, cookies, form autofill information, and credit card data. Moreover, it targets cryptocurrency users by attempting to steal data from their wallets as long as they’re installed as a browser extension.

If you want to make sure you’re not at risk, right now, all you have to do is not download any illegal files (such as cracked games or bots for games). However, it’s a good idea to stay vigilant and also make sure you’re using one of the best antivirus software, keeping it updated, and scanning each file you download. If you own cryptocurrency, consider moving your funds to a fully-offline cold wallet as opposed to a desktop wallet.

Self-proclaimed ‘incel’ charged with pepper spraying women in hate attacks in Costa Mesa

https://abc7.com/incel-hate-attack-johnny-deven-young-costa-mesa/12273895/

Young is charged with four counts of assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury, four counts of illegal use of tear gas, all felonies, and four misdemeanor counts of violation of civil rights. He also faces sentencing enhancements for hate crime and personal use of a deadly weapon.

Young faces up to 13 years in prison if convicted at trial. He has a prior misdemeanor hate crime conviction in Nevada, according to prosecutors.

Prosecutors said Young is a self-proclaimed “incel,” a member of an online community of men who call themselves involuntary celibates and express rage against women.

“No one should have to live in fear that they could be indiscriminately attacked and then publicly humiliated on the Internet because of their gender,” Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer said. “This behavior is disgusting and the celebration of this behavior by like-minded individuals is completely unacceptable. These charges send a very strong message to that entire community that we will not tolerate violence against women in any form.”

Opinion: Obviously, I am not defending what this guy did. No!!! But this shows how stupid it is for the government to label anything a hate crime and prosecute it as a hate crime. The prosecutor in this case is in his self guilty, from a moral perspective if not a legal perspective, of a crime. He hates incels and has grossly overcharged the case. And a reminder, the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution is being gutted by both the left and the right. From hate crime laws, to reversing Roe v. Wade, to trying to force employers to force their employees to get an untested vaccine, the Fourteenth Amendment to our Constitution is being gutted.

And let me repeat, I am not defending what this guy did. But the elite and social media treating men, especially white men like second class citizen, is part of what has fed this movement of self-avowed celibate men. And contrary to what the idiot prosecutor says, overcharging this case does not send a message to discourage this man’s unacceptable behavior but simply makes the point of why these young men are so fucking angry against those they perceive as their enemy. It doesn’t help the situation but makes the situation worse, which I suspect is actual agenda of the prosecutor so he can lock even more young white men up … and have all the Karens to himself. LOL

Pink Floyd founder Roger Waters cancels concerts in Poland over backlash to views on Russia’s war in Ukraine

 

Waters was initially planning to perform two concerts at the Tauron Arena in Krakowin in April, but an arena official confirmed the events have been scrapped.

“Roger Waters’ manager decided to withdraw … without giving any reason,” Tauron Arena Krakow’s Lukasz Pytko said Saturday, according to Polish media.

City council members in Krakow were expected to vote on a proposal next week to label Waters as a persona non grata. They planned to express “indignation” over his views on Russia’s war on Ukraine, which a lot of Americans and Brits share.

On 10 April 2010, a Tupolev Tu-154 aircraft operating Polish Air Force Flight 101 crashed near the Russian city of Smolensk, killing all 96 people on board. Among the victims were the president of Poland, Lech Kaczyński, and his wife, Maria, the former president of Poland in exile, Ryszard Kaczorowski, the chief of the Polish General Staff and other senior Polish military officers, the president of the National Bank of Poland, Polish Government officials, 18 members of the Polish Parliament, senior members of the Polish clergy, and relatives of victims of the Katyn massacre. The group was arriving from Warsaw to attend an event commemorating the 70th anniversary of the massacre, which took place not far from Smolensk.

The crash was blamed on fog and not a mass political assassination. Regardless, the globalist pretty much took over Poland after the crash. Before the crash Poland was working to reduce its debt and dependence on the West. After the crash Poland went back on the path to become more deeply indebted to the West.

Note:

In 2021, Russia’s estimated level of national debt reached about 17.02 percent of the GDP, ranking 12th of the countries with the lowest national debt. The United States and China, both pretty much run by the globalist, have the highest debt levels of any countries.

Countries with the Highest Debt Levels

1 United States 30.4 trillion
2 China 13 trillion
3 United Kingdom 9.02 trillion
4 France 7.32 trillion

Poland currently ranks 29th on the list.

The Suspense Account & Flame By The Sea were free 9-22-2022

Update: The Suspense Account and Flame By the Sea are no longer part of Kindle Unlimited.

The Suspense Account & Flame By the Sea were free 9-22-2022.

This was part of my Canary in the Coal Mine Experiment.

First:

Much thanks to anyone who downloaded the book on the free day.  I appreciate it.

Take away from the canary in the coal mine experiment.

1. I need to drive more traffic.  Obviously.

2. Twitter has me shadow banned and that does hurt.  But on the other hand, the people who actually do follow me on twitter, whether left or right, are good people. (Note that I now have my sayata twitter account set to private.  I did that because twitter gave my eBook promotion fewer than 3 impressions.)  Also note that I sold sayata.com but I do still own sayata.net)

3.  I believe Amazon is tracking for me.  It just has been nothing there to track.

Going forward:

I am thinking and will post more when I have time.  When I was first working on this I had to run an errand.
