The Plot Against America

THIS IS THE ONE THAT WILL LET YOU SEARCH ALL THEIR SHIT

I cannot stress how big of a deal this will be for researching games

CNN Article leader: 
CNN  β€” 

On the fourth day, President Donald Trump set out to impose his will on the globe.

Rapt European elites watched Trump beam virtually into the Swiss alpine village of Davos Thursday, in a metaphor for a world that is taking in his testosterone-fueled return to power with fearful fascination.

The set-up was perfect for the president. On a giant screen, the ultimate outsider literally towered over his scolded audience of bankers, financiers, business titans, NGO leaders, political bigwigs and diplomats.
The appearance at the World Economic Forum was Trump’s latest hyper-confident move to reshape America’s destiny after a frenetic week of executive actions and stunning, freewheeling news conferences.

Turns out it was just an autistic salute and maybe some adhd and anxiety in there too so can we stop with ableism

Pretty much exactly 80 years after the liberation of Auschwitz, the richest man in the world uses the Nazi salute at the inauguration of his close ally as US president. What should rationally not be surprising is still so deeply shocking and simply difficult to comprehend.

"You see, a real Nazi salute has a straighter arm, this is a traditional Roman salute, nothing to do with the Nazis".

You’re all about to be gaslit about that Nazi salute and I’m begging you to spend no time on it. You know what you saw.

He accidentally did a Nazi salute... TWICE. While talking about the future of Western civilization.

He is who we think he is.

Trump surrounded himself at his rallies with everyday Americans, coal miners, police officers, teachers, factory workers. Why only politicians and billionaires for the inauguration?

If a man can’t give a Nazi salute at a party for a racist convicted fraudster and proven sex offender, then what kind of sick world are we living in, I ask you.

Likely conversation (speculation).

Putin (to Trump):

β€œWe’re thinking about (aggressively) purchasing $10b of TrumpCoin this week.

Also, please cease arm shipments to Ukraine.”

Congress has been for sale a while. Now the world is for sale.

Elon’s extreme hatred of his former friend Sam Harris seems to have begun after Elon made a bet with Sam that Covid would never top 35,000 cases in the US, and was proven spectacularly wrong.

Elon's Claims:
β€’ He has a softcore character who he farmed NINE citadels, within the first 11 days of launch. The launch was on
12-6-2024, this video was recorded was on 12-17-2024.
β€’ He has a hardcore character on the leader board
β€’ He has 'several' other hardcore characters who have died
IF true, one would expect a decent baseline understanding of the how the game works (picking up items, entering maps, etc.).
Suspicious Instances From Elon's Streams:
β€’ He does not seem to know to use a mana flask when out of mana (10+ seconds)
β€’ He does not seem to understand that you can only run connected atlas nodes despite the account having characters at levels which would imply he has run 100s to 1000s of
maps.
β€’ He picks up items by dragging them into his inventory manually
β€’ He seemingly struggles to understand why he cannot pick up an item when his inventory if full
β€’ The "Four Things" comment indicating he does not know what the 'map things' are
β€’ He believes his gear is lacking due to it being "low level" he is unsatisfied that his gear is "level 65" appearing to not understanding the difference between item level and required level.
β€’ Implies the Hand of Wisdom and Action unique could be a higher level than 52
β€’ The account he is on puts their maps in a tab called "Elon's Map if it was a one player only account wouldn't it just be
maps'?
Unconfirmed Suspicious Activity :
β€’ Rumored here - When players have whispered his account (MonkEBiznizz) to buy items through trade, the message defaulted to Chinese, indicating the account plays on a server where that speaks primarily Chinese.
β€’ Also allegedly the names of trade stash tabs belonging to Elon's account were in Chinese, indicating whoever is managing the stash prefers Chinese to English.
β€’ Cannot confirm since the image links no longer work & the account he is playing on has delisted it's trade items.
Generally Suspicious Activity:
β€’ No loot filter despite being multiple characters deep and on the hardcore leaderboard

Up goes the barbed wire at Taiwan's Legislative Yuan. Seems that Han Kuo-yu and the KMT are afraid of something despite their claims to represent 60% of Taiwan.
