Call it a small victory (and yes, I am taking a lap). I pointed out on Tuesday that the ironically named, CIA WORLD FACTBOOK, was inaccurate in its “facts” about the coup in Niger. The entry on Tuesday claimed the coup took place in “late April 2023.” Here is the screenshot from Tuesday. Look at the last sentence in this paragraph:
I figured this would be the ultimate test to determine if anyone at the CIA is reading this blog. Well, guess what? There is at least one person at CIA reading sonar21.com because the CIA quietly updated its erroneous fact sometime today (Thursday). Here is the updated version with the correct date:
Here is what is troublesome and inexcusable about this mistake. I had three years experience updating the CIA World Factbook on Honduras during my tenure there. The process is pretty simple. You are given a copy of the current content and are asked to provide updates. This means that the person (or persons) handling the Niger account inserted the information about the coup within the last three weeks. You cannot very well write about a coup that has not happened.
Now I can understand making a typo. I do that all the time (and I do not have an editor that must review my content before I publish). How in the hell do you confuse July with April? That reflects an inexcusable level of carelessness. This is not a case of “auto correct” run amuck.
This is not just the fault of the analyst responsible for this error. Once the analyst updates the World Factbook with current developments it is supposed to be reviewed by a Branch Chief and someone from the office at the CIA responsible for publishing the Factbook (in my day it was called the Office of Global Issues) . This begs the more serious question — if CIA cannot get the date of the coup in NIGER right the first time, what else are they screwing up?
Here is a novel concept — how about having some “fact checkers” work on the FACTBOOK before putting it on the web? Could it be that CIA’s preoccupation with correct pronouns and gender issues has turned the brains of its analysts to mush? Failing to identify the correct date of a coup that is being widely reported on all public media outlets is baffling.
Hey Larry, yeah I think you got their attention alright because they also flagged your website as unsafe when I clicked on it.
Saw that as well.
Someone’s pissed so a little malicious push back can be expected from childish mushy brains.
Two people have already mentioned the site certificate. What I can add is this. There is nothing sinister about a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificate. Every site which uses HTTPS protocol rather than HTTP requires an SSL Certificate. You pay money to a certifier then you get your certificate then you configure your web server with your certificate then your website allows visitors to visit via HTTPS. The certificate expires after one or more years depending on what period you pay for.
Yes, it’s a bit of a rort .
Larry’s server’s certificate expired, that’s all. He or his provider will sort it out if they haven’t already.
One should take note that today there is a new format to the Sonar21 blog. Expired cert could be related to server move or other behind the wall efforts to change the blog. Nothing nefarious.
Just coincidence…. but today James Lyons-Weiler’s entire video library from his online universtiy, IPAK-EDU got yanked from Vimeo and I think all of Scott Ritter’s vids at youtube got pulled as well.
So, one might jump to conclusions. And even be wrong!
I’m going to miss sonar21.com when it’s gone. I’m down to a handful of places online where I can visit to check my sanity. Thank you Larry.
Couldn’t access this blog all evening yesterday even until about 2 am…nothing but a blank white screen…no 404…nothing. Thought they finally pulled the plug on ya, Larry. Glad to see it today. Might want a backup plan.
I didn’t have any issues or weird stuff happen when I just logged on—about 5:10 central daylight time (USA)
myself also
Me too.
Yep, it warns me attackers are going to steal my credit card numbers
Me too (in the UK, using Brave).
Probably Biden’s niece needs another 100,000 credit line & began trolling for card numbers.
Indeed, here too. Larry seems to have triggered the Internet’s WrongThink filter. Clearly unsafe content for jejune Western minds.
Scott Ritter has been canceled from YouTube- they’re starting to get upset. I’ve had no problems with access to your blog
You’ve spoken about your differences with mr Ritter but you’re both very important to the info sphere
I’m glad that you’re both still able to inform us
I have empathy for Scott, not animosity. I think he is wrong about Gonzalo Lira and he is tarnishing his reputation by launching personal attacks on me, Brian Berletic and the boys at the Duran. I understand Scott’s anger management problems. The attacks he endured after he came out in opposition to the war in Iraq were very unfair and unjustified.
Scott Ritter is a very passionate man and certainly says what he believes – but he is no diplomat and I think a rather sensitive soul – perhaps also a little bit highly strung. While many would agree that Lira comes across as perhaps little weird and certainly (for me) did not provide a terribly convincing explanation for his original ‘disappearance’ – none of this justifies the vitriol meated out by Ritter against him. If Ritter has these views he should have kept them to himself. Of all people, Scott Ritter knows that such criticisms need to be based on factual evidence (there is none) and while I still hold him in high regard, like many I am disappointed in his attitude.
@Terence Reeves-Smyth
“Scott Ritter is a very passionate man …”
Police can confirm that.
The Biden team has begun to build its platform for 2024 and it can’t let any banana peel info sites in to slip on, given how prone Biden is to slip & trip already.
Same here. I was not allowed access at all the first time.
Well done Larry
Not really. Not unless they found some way remotely to “expire” the site’s SSL certificate. Generally speaking, automatic renewal is just a routine part of the paid web hosting service, but it varies from one host to another.
As for CIA fallibility, on the other hand, that also seems increasingly routine lately. As Larry says, proper pronoun usage does tend to distract people from other concerns that might have been regarded as more pertinent to core issues under consideration in the past. But such distractions are hardly unique to the CIA. So-called diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) of race and “gender” (whatever that word may actually mean, if anything at all) now outranks actual competence in almost every profession and career — certainly not excluding “intelligence” circles.
I think that the “analyst” may have actually mistaken Niger for Sudan as far as those dates.
So lame.
Or maybe just a typo? 4 (April) is just below 7 (July) on the keyboard’s number keypad.
Lame and rather sloppy. But distinguishing among all those African resource depots and their internal squabbles can be a bit of a challenge for the “masters of the universe” and their “intelligence” advisers. Hardly worth bothering about … until it begins to look as if there may be broader implications, that is.
Same here from Singapore.
And Ireland ……….
Getting hacked is always horrible, sometimes traumatic. Once upon a time, I was hijacked for posting pics of Muhammad, in support of those killed by fanatics. Being hacked is a medal of honour. Congratulations, Larry.
Larry’s probably got the entire Ukrainian Olympic Hacker Team after him by now.
Is he on the mirotvorets website yet? That’s a badge of honor these days.
yep, same here.
So we now know at least one POS lowlife reads sonar.21; so I would like to address him/her/it – you can suck my balls.
I agree with the concept, but dont touch me. I would prefer they eat the corn from my poop.
Ditto.
Me too
I couldn’t get on the website for a few minutes. Tried two different web browsers. I thought it was hacked.
His certificate expired on 8/10
Guess you have to be certified these days. Maybe it’s a mark of the beasty thing. 😉
Same here in Germany….unsafe !
Most everything in Germany is unsafe these days.
Me too.
Just got a pop up from my anti virus. lol
Same here. As juvenile as responding to a post with “Russian bot”, “How’s the weather in Moscow”, etc.
The same and I’m in Serbia. Petty clowns.
I got the same message
Yeah, even in Romania 🙂
All my (different) browsers flag your website as unsafe. It is a pain, all of a sudden, to view it.
Even in France, an unsafe site could steal your credit card details
I suppose, if you’re stupid enough to keep them or input them on your whatever.
Long ago I bought something on Ebay and a week later, had charges from England and Singapore. The bastard sold it on the darknet.
You people are paranoid. It’s just an outdated SSL-certificate. Happens alot when people host their content by themselves. Usually there is a button in the service-section on the host to renew the certificate.
It seems that Mr. Johnson is using cloudflare. There is maybe an other way to renew the certificate. I have no experience with cloudflare myself. Maybe it’s even a bug on their behave.
It’s a trick, to see which commenters are IT (in)competent. 🙂
Now we know who should (not) be trusted.
Sadly a lot of folks don’t know much about what is happening. I would expect more curiosity from people hanging around here. Progress also includes us. We should not simply adapt, but understand what is going on and act accordingly. Knowledge is the best tool we can have on us.
Oh, it’s so much more fun to cook up a conspiracy theory or two.
The best one so far on here’s been how you can hologram airplanes flying into the WTC. That must mean there are tons of hoholograms out there, depicting Ukrainian victories. I just haven’t bothered to look.
@Are conspire and perspire related words?
As an engineer, I am infuriated at how dumb are some conspiracy theories. They don’t even bother with basic laws of physics, not to mention the material proof.
Same here
Had same problem here.

They have also totally blocked my access to Yandex search engine- got message Blacklisted. Yandex is the best as it seems to rank on hit numbers of site visits, like Google used to do before Google et al built algos to present only fake news links as first ranking sites
Great work Larry. I’ll bet they are keeping good eye on Sonar 21.
Where are you? I can pull up Yandex – no prob.
UK, I’ll bet. They gave up free speech with Henry VIII.
Larry,
Someone at your old agency definitely reads your blog.
And they put a block on it today becauese you pointed out their mistake.
Expect visitors and tapped phones. :/
Hi Larry,
“I figured this would be the ultimate test to determine if anyone at the CIA is reading this blog. Well, guess what?

With much respect, you are arguing post hoc ergo propter hoc. B followed A therefore B was caused by A. This is an all-too-common logical fallacy.
Best wishes.
Yeah, I’m sure they were on the cusp of rectifying the error and would have done it anyway without Larry drawing their attention to it. NOT.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtDUmD9MYNg
🙂
Kind regards.
If A remains unchanged for a large amount of time until B happens and A changes soon after B happens, there is no scientific evidence that B triggered A’s change but the assumption is hardly unreasonable.
Sings,
“I have often walked down this street before,
But a black cat never crossed my path before;
All at once am I,
Hit by a truck & now to die,
Knowing I’m on the street of hardly unreasonable assumptions.”
With apologies to Alan Lerner & Frederick Loewe.
🙂
Best wishes.
Admins can see where the visitors to their site come from. Let’s say analytics show a visit by someone in Langley. Let’s say that soon after the errors in the entry mentioned in the article that the visitor from Langley are corrected. What would you assume from such a correlation? Not saying that it is what happened, just saying that between assuming that Larry’s presomptuous and assuming that you’re a troll, the latter seems a lot more plausible.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtDUmD9MYNg
🙂
“… that between assuming that Larry’s presomptuous and assuming that you’re a troll, the latter seems a lot more plausible.”
Thanks for going ad hominem, and have a nice life.
Kiss kiss.
I like Ukrainian logic best. In fact there’s a Ukrainian 3rd grade history primer that explains how an ancient Ukrainian name Marco Polochko traveled to Greece in antiquity and tutored Sophocles in the art of logic.
Today’s example speaks of Ukraine reporting that Ukrainian satellite surveillance detected kinzhal missiles were launched and heading toward Kyiv. It then reported shortly thereafter that explosions were heard in Kyiv. The mayor of Kiev, Mr. Klitschko later that day appeared on TV announcing that no damage or deaths were reported in Kiev, leaving the public to conclude this time strangely enough whether he was referring to damage from kinzhal missiles which are flawlessly shot down by Patriot missile defense or damage from drunken commissars trying to shake down mobilization candidates on the streets.
Correlation is not causation. Assumption is not proof. I’m not saying it did not happen (I can’t know), but a proof would be if he was to make them change it to another wrong date. It would also be hilarious.
https://gizmodo.com/the-fake-places-that-only-exist-to-catch-copycat-cartog-1695414770
But correlation may hint at causation and assumption may be proven or disproven by experimentation . Or in this case, I doubt it can b/c I doubt the folks in Langley are that stupid. If they changed their entry after visiting this site, I’d assume that they checked that this time they had the correct data before making the change.
“… It would also be hilarious.”
Agree completely.
It would also be hilarious (in the sense of ‘laughing at them not with them’) if CIA can be actually bothered to monitor this blog. While I much enjoy Larry’s insights and respect him for ‘going off reservation,’ he’s hardly dangerous to authority in the manner of, say, Julian Assange.
Kind regards.
I don’t think CIA monitors stuff just because it’s dangerous to authority. I would say CIA monitors everything it can, because it can. Maybe some intern is tasked to monitor few anti-MSM blogs. Maybe not. It doesn’t take that much time & effort.
Larry has been gaining in popularity, and might be on some list. I don’t think he is on Mirotvorets one, yet.
Yep. Dreizin does that all the time.
Hi Larry,

Same thing with the “unsafe flag”!
Keep up the good work!
I proceeded to your ”unsafe ” website,I’m glad the cia has my back and wants to protect me from naughty words and thoughts
Yes I noticed today having to click thru 2 warnings to get to Sonar 21.
Working as we speak to get it back to normal.
After 2 hours being intercepted by ‘Band of Thieves’ CIA fake site,
Larry was restored at 20:30 PDT for me.
Thank you, Larry.
I also have had the above-mentioned ‘Band of Thieves’ problem in Germany, since early morning. Seems to be working now.
Greetings Sir!
P.s. I use: Firefox browser, and Bitdefender.
Oh, jeez – I’m already compromised. Been using Kaspersky for decades. Yikes! I even find myself waking up in the morning singing Russian folk songs. LOL
Ditto on the unsafe tag. Figured something was up.
It is inexcusable, but most likely someone confused the Sudan coup, that occurred in late April with the Nigerien coup in July. Probably an intern or recent Ivy League grad that would have trouble finding Africa on a map, so the difference between Sudan & Niger was an intellectual bridge/synapse too far.
I wonder what percentage of CIA employees could pass this test?

(sigh)
The CIA was right – they attempted a coup in April but failed.
Yep.. Agree. They were to disorganized to do it on time, and they needed the chips from the washing machines to make their new phones….
Don’t underrate washing machine chips. They’re communicating your every whisper back to the factory in Hefei.
I too thought that probably they confused Niger and Susan…
That means the CIA is racist — all Africans look alike.
Chinese guy once told me all whites look alike.
But, he was Chinese, not white, therefore couldn’t be racist, right?
That is universal. When I lived in Honduras in the 70s I walked in on a group of Honduran farmers. The were laughing and then suddenly went silent. When I asked them what was going on, after some hesitation, they confessed that they though all gringos look alike.
Well, they sorta do. There is hardly any “diversity” there. They are pretty much uniform.
Brown, blonde, red are not in abundance…

People, the site’s web certificate just expired and needs to be renewed. Nothing malicious, just an administrative oversight. My guess is that sonar21.com uses a free Let’s Encrypt cert.
I’m telling you, these non-stop conspiracy theories are poisonous to the mind.
They’re good for a laugh – until one day it morphs into a cry.
My theory is, Larry’s blog doesn’t mention ‘Russia’s unprovoked aggression’ even once and there’s a sniffer bot named Santa roaming the ether looking for that very phrase and marking who’s naughty and who’s nice.
And btw: anybody every noticed that Santa is an anagram of Satan? My sniffer bot just noticed that.
Now that I think about it, the standard obligatory phrase after 2014 was ‘Russian aggression’ and after 2022 became ‘Russia’s unprovoked aggression’. Does that mean that the aggression after 2014 was provoked? Because that’d be a really serious admission by the aggression spotters.

True. Internet gave everyone a voice, and confidence, but not competence. If jumping to conclusions was an Olympic sport, there would not be enough medals for everyone deserving one.
Jumping to conclusions is a consequence of the MSM’s exclusions.

Yikes. That is creepy as hell.
Thank you for a great article today, and for yesterday’s on Gonzalo Lira. I was disappointed in a lot of my friends online who decided to judge him in absentia and in advance of the facts… and so *viciously.* As to GL & SR, they were equally to blame for the initial episode. Scott jumped the gun when GL went missing and announced his death. Mind you, SR based his conclusion on a pinned post on GL’s twitter & telegram, listing disappeared/deaded people who criticized the elensky regime, and telling people to “add my name to this list if I disappear for over 12 hours.”
So Scott can’t really be blamed, although with him it’s not what he says, it’s how he says it. Plus Scott called GL “Gonzo,” which he hates and has never used. Gonzalo considered it very presumptuous to assume such familiarity, and especially inaccurately.
But. In light of life & death, GL could have come out smiling and forgiving SR, and recognized that Scott’s actions were (at least partly) taken on Gonzalo’s behalf—the rest being SR’s desire to be a big shot.
But no, GL responded by saying he *hated* SR, and apparently at one point brought up the (fake?) charges against him many years ago, calling him the p-word… although I did not hear this part myself, to be honest.
So they got out the measuring sticks and TA-DA!!! The show was on to see who could be the bigger baby. I like GL a lot, and I like SR a bit, and the only reason it’s only “a bit” is because of his manic manner. People need to put feeling into their voices or we might as well just text… YUCK. But he doesn’t know how to modulate. Someone should help him with that.
I know this because when I was growing up I think I heard the phrase, “It’s not what you say, it’s the way you say it.” LOL You are one of the very best, Larry. Thank you.
Funny thing is, the website was redirected to RovingBandofThieves.com for several hours, so there was more going on than just an expired certificate.
Now some previous comments make sense. I thought Band of Thieves was some nickname for CIA. 🙂
Probably the NAFO freaks at work.
Isn’t everything w/ the CIA . . . INTENTIONAL misinfo or propaganda to push a particular “agenda”?
Pretty much. Here’s a short reminder of some of the perfidy over the last 17 years. https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2023/08/10/biden-corruption-context-and-the-lightbringer/
Of course, it goes back 75 years and anyone, like William Colby, who looks susceptible to growing a conscience might just have a “canoeing accident”.
Larry, my antivirus just began bringing up a warning today for sonar21:

Perhaps the coup identifies as occurring in April and the analyst didn’t want to appear anachroniphobic by saying it actually happened in July. It’s all part of the CIA’s new respect for proclaimed (as opposed to descriptive) identities.

While we are at it you might look at that Certificate Issuer Comodo and its tangled ownership history……
Commodus was vanquished by Maximus Decimus Meridius, who was to be the true defender of the Republic and fated to vanquish the Evil Emperor’s rule.
Is this an allusion to BRICS and its attack on the Monopolar Empire of the Hegemonic Dynasty of Old? – because it has a sort of a sweet ring to it.
We should just refer to them as the CIA-Pravda from now on. Or CNN-Pravda. Or Fox-Pravda.
There is no better cure for malice, than ridicule, IMO. “Facts” are derivatives of the interests pushing them and the funds behind those interests.
I find funny to be the most universal measure, of course, not everyone carries a healthy sense of humor…and the new generations, that have no fucking idea who Baghdad Bob was. Or Pravda…🥺
Thus the time honored institution of a court jester is still a good approach.
Pravda lied about USSR and told truth about The West. CIA, CNN, et al. lie about everything.
Baghdad Bob turned out to be an amateur propagandist, and on the right side of history.
My point exactly.
I tried to say that CIA-Pravda or CNN-Pravda is not accurate, and unfair to Pravda.
How would ya know?
I lived trough Cold War Eastern Europe.
There is a post-Soviet saying that goes something like: what they told us about USSR turned out to be a lie, and what they told us about the West turned out to be true.
People in the West have still not woken up from Cold War propaganda, or at least most of them.
(Most)People in the West have still not woken up from Cold War propaganda
Damn cold war was so cold, it froze their very spoiled and sensitive brains.
As a Russian-speaking American in Moscow’s 90’s, I honestly felt like I walked on water. I had some minor indications but little did I fully know that I was to be a mere shill of goodwill for a nefarious group of plotters called the neocons and their minions. Never again.
90’s were hell in whole of Eastern Europe. Most believed that The West will take us out of it, and bring us prosperity, and what we thought the life in The West was like. What we got is theft (aka privatization), and colonization, and deindustrialization, and lies. Lots of lies. Also, wars, hot ones. Hence my initial comment, and the bitterness.
Perhaps it was originally scheduled for April, but you know what projects are like with due-dates. They probably got delayed.
What seems odd to me is all these folks in Niger waving Russian flags. Obviously, Niger is famous all over Africa as the number 1 exporter of the finest quality Russian flags, right? And if I were an impoverished citizen of Niger, I’d be keen to part with a month or more’s income to purchase a Russian flag on my way to show my support of the new government.
There’s something very colour revolution about all this. Who paid for the memorabilia? In who’s interest is it for pictures of crowds waving Russian flags making the news all around the Western world?
Perhaps the cause of the delay was supply chain issues getting the Russian flags into Niger.
Apparently it is unsafe for people to hear the truth.
It’s strange that we Hungarians are afraid of the Chinese state, that they are watching us, while the alleged ally CIA is the one watching and preventing us from getting access to an unbiased news source! 🤥

You’re allowed a victory lap. Quite hilarious that the CIA can’t keep its coups straight anymore. Then again, do we expect people with pronouns in their bios to even name more than 10 countries in Africa, much less find them on a map? It’s like some Monty Python skit.
Can someone please explain to me if Nuland is pro or anti coups in foreign lands?
Nuland cookies make a coup kosher. Wagner catering services make a coup non-kosher by default.

All the best

The website is not blocked and never was. Your browser just stopped loading the content because the ssl-certificate was outdated. This is a “security” feature of most browsers and has nothing to do with **hacking** of any sorts.
People drawing that conclusion should focus on other things for a while. They seem to see the boogie-man everywhere.
This intrusion on Larry Johnson’s free speech clearly PROVES the CIA actively monitors and can suppress US Citizens which is unlawful in the United States.
Welcome the the Banana Republic of the US UniParty.

Thank you, Larry.
Your site with Firefox, and Bitdefender are apparently now working in Germany, after having been blocked since early this morning.
Kudos to you Larry … you got their attention!
April is more feminine by nature, so they were just giving some monthly equity there.
Personally, I am amazed that you have been allowed to publish ‘disinformation’ for so long.
Good to know that Capitalism’s Invisible Army is hard at work protecting us from the truth.
That’s a relief!
You are back in the real world Larry.
You’ve left the cia-sbu world paymasters of your ex-boyfiend lira!
“… of your ex-boyfiend lira!”
Is that what triggered Scott’s jealousy towards Gonzalo? I thought Ritter was into younger stuff.
“ex”?
A simple error — April vs July — is one thing.
On what date was the “April” version posted? Was it up before the coup is supposed to have occured?
This happens in mainstream news all the time. Same edifice, same masters, same mission.
Larry: “Failing to identify the correct date of a coup that is being widely reported on all public media outlets is baffling.”
Larry, my response is part factual and part tongue in check:
“We don’t need no stinking facts.” To quote Karl Rove(?) “… we’re an empire now and we create our own reality.”
And candidly, having a deeper understanding of the collusion between the Deep State, Big Tech and Corporate Media, and how it keeps US and citizens of the “West” brain dead in general, Rove ain’t wrong.
We’re in the minority camp when it comes to belief that Russia is not only winning, they are pummeling the Ukrainians who are being used as cannon fodder for pure evil reasons. I had a fraternity brother respond to a text message about US geopolitical failures and lies about Ukraine that, “Trump is a US asset!” I calmly responded, explain what you mean by “asset” and of course got crickets. I’m less and less confident the braining washing can be undone.
This is why I try to explain to idiots that every day we wake up is a Cuban Missile Crisis. Not only is our elected leadership delusional, hubristic, arrogant, and moronic, so are the people they govern. We could all be dead or wish we were dead in a flash and no one would see it coming.
There are no lessons we can point to where the failures matter. No consequences from failures, except being promoted up. Look at Victoria “F the EU” Nuland’s recent promotion. We are living in dark ages.
Facts and consequences don’t matter, this is why Pepe Escobar coined the phrase: “The Empire of Chaos.”

The certification hiccup that almost makes it look like the site is blocked is a good thing. It strengthens credibility in the eyes of the aficionados.
At any rate the CIA has nothing to worry about with respect to this site as long as it respects (as Larry does) the sacred taboos, like, among others, the fable of the 12 Arab boys with boxcutters (“blowback,” don’t you know). Oh, and by the way, do not, I repeat do NOT suggest or imply Gonzalo Lira is a CIA asset operated by the SBU.
I view the commentariat on the internet as a big smorgasbord: never eat a whole meal from a single dish. Pick a bit of this and a bit of that in accordance to your worldview, your experience and the extent to which every morsel can be corroborated.
To follow up on a previous post, from today’s Moon of Alabama blog:
Ukraine SitRep: The End Of The Counteroffensive
“Western media have finally change course. They are now admitting that the much promoted Ukrainian counter-offensive has failed. In fact, the acknowledge that it never had a chance to win in the first place. (sic)
The Hill, the Washington Post and CNN now agree that the Ukrainian army will never achieve its aims.”

Like I say, facts don’t matter, what’s a typo here and there. These psychopaths have a winning record even as they traipse from one catastrophe to another with more catastrophe’s looming.
The world won’t survive another 4 years, not even 2 more years of these delusional psychopaths in control. I’m no Trump fan but I’ll take him over 4 more years of madness from the soul-less ghouls running the Biden Administration. All of this cultural war noise doesn’t matter in a nuclear war.
And I assure you what the Democrats won’t calculate are a couple of things while they are fixated on why Black men (and other demographic groups) are moving away from the Party:
1. They won’t wrap their heads around the fact that we’ve seen enough of Biden that they won’t get the same reaction from their Trump the bogey-man, existential threat anymore. Biden’s warmongering is greatest existential threat world has seen;
2. They won’t wrap their heads around the fact that Clinton lost to Trump because of comparative levels of ENTHUSIASM. Enthusiasm for Trump is high, not so for Biden. And expect Biden’s campaign to be as lackluster and underwhelming as Hillary Clinton’s.
3. They won’t wrap their minds around the billions wasted on a war they KNEW Ukraine would lose. Money that should have been spent in our country.
4. They won’t wrap their minds around the fact that Black men, like myself, see more laws and protections for the smallest minority population in American, the so-called “trans”, even going so far as they have done in my home state of Michigan to make it a crime, a felony no less, to “misgender” trans people!
What kind of BS is that! Funny how they never censored rappers from calling women bitches and hoes, and using the “N” word profusely. Big Tech and Music Industry have literally promoted rap songs about killing one’s “opps” where actual shootings and tit for tat killings take place. They call this “beef” in the rap game. It’s good for sales. It’s good for law enforcement too because these idiots brag about their deeds on social media.
This is all well-documented on YouTube podcasts and news clips. How can any sane person get behind this level of dystopian psychosis, cancellation, and nonsense? And to think that Black Democrats in Michigan were on board with this? That’s the other thing they can’t wrap their minds around. With friends like Black Democrats in Michigan who needs enemies?

All of this identity politics BS about the first Black VP or Supreme Court justice or Michigan’s first Black Speaker of the House (like Jeffries in US Congress) means NOTHING. As a graduate of law school, Ms. Brown embarrassed herself IMO with her mumble jumble inability to define what is a women and w/n men can have babies. Obama obliterated Black Wealth.

And I’m suppose to be proud of this banality? NOT! Sorry Dummocrats, I won’t be “FALLING IN LINE” next November.

In other news, Kevin Johnson changes his name to Kevin Vladimirovich, and takes Russian citizenship. CIA Factbook says he is Larry’s third cousin twice removed. 🙂

I use my phone and saved his website to my screen a long time ago. I have no problems.
Youtube has just scrubbed all Scott Ritters channels.
Looks like Google has doubled down.
Wow!!! Complete purge !!! I wonder what the tripwire was for that?
Saying D.C. funds the 2 Ukraine kill lists, outsourcing 1st Amendment violations.
I would say the Judge’s channel is right now in the cross.hairs.
The Peacemaker website run by Langley is definitely 18++ . And it is funded by US tax$.
WARNING – 18+ :
https://myrotvorets.center/
So telling everyone the US funds a Ukraine kill list that is certainly 18++ means YOU are the information terrorist.
A losing Ukrainian counteroffensive and an upcoming election season.
Did these people REALLY think a counteroffensive had any chance or they just wanted to roll the dice? I’ve known since this war first started that Ukraine didn’t have a chance in hell.
Glad you got it fixed. I was not worried about it.
Just wanted to give you a heads up.
I should have taken the time to think and realize a BUNCH of people were most likely doing the same and not disturbed your busy self.
My apologies.
I wasn’t even worried about the later event. For I dont use banks or online banking, and if someone steals my “identity” they are going to be truly screwed LOL.
I cant even imagine the shock when they realize that using my info means they are now targeted.
My Dad sued everyone in the county, and I have been screwed ever since, not even to mention my wicked youth LOL!
From the school board to the county commissioners to even shady county peeps doing shady deals that involved Judges, who later presided in their arrogance over me, in their own heads.
They ALWAYS come after your kids. none of this stuff is new that everyone is just now realizing and pushing back on.
I do keep an eye out for the beginning of some sort of night of the long knives or other related events though. I figure I will be 7th or 8th wave at best if any. Heck, I may not even be considered worthy enough to be disappeared.
Though I do try my best 🙂
I appreciate you giving a damn. Thanks
My pleasure sir.
It is I/we who should thank you.
It’s easy to spot the good, the bad, and the ugly.
It’s easy to spot those who care about their community and nation.
It’s easy to spot those hard battle tested men, who are filled with real love of neighbor and nation, as opposed to so much of the false stuff we see today.
My pleasure, and thank you.
( I do need to think a bit more before I post stuff though LOL)
Two days ago, i was connecting to the site “military summary”, when YouTube stop me, saying i had to register with Google to prove that my age was over 18 years old, since the site produces adult content. Lucky that the site was alson on “Rumble”. 3 years ago i operated a french site in Canada called “MeteoPolitique”. Google stop covering my publication and put me on a liste where i could not by music on american outlets or open an acount on YouTube. There is an information war going on, let’s not forget that all truth sayers are ennemy of the globalists. We haven’t seen anything yet, worst is to come now that Biden as his “ministry of thinking” as Europe as adopt the same sceam. How many cases of Assange is to come? (sorry for the ortho i’m not fluently bilingle)

Larry, FYI. Yesterday my Friday your Thursday I could not access your site from any of my internet browsers on all devices with and without my VPN. I received the same message across all device attempts that the site had either not renewed its licence or had been hacked. Made me think of what was once ‘friendly fire”. Now today all is OK.
My “professional” career with proto-management consulting: Quality Assurance for big energy construction.
Little axiom learned early, “Dysfunction in the part reflects or suggests dysfunction in the whole.”
Often overlooked. Bad last sentence? (Actually, as you said, egregiously and inexcusably erroneous), means that the SYSTEM is broken. Usually little clues, and plenty of ’em. Example: Formal technical/engineering report, signed at the top of the first page by the regnant Pooh Bah, but then followed by 11 (yes, eleven) of his subordinates. Of course, this means it is hogwash, idiocy, and all this by consensus.
Technical administrative organization of a total of 1,200 personnel. Six (yes, 6) toads with the title of some kind of Engingeering Manager, or Manager of Engineering, and there’s a difference, and DON’T YOU FORGET IT!
Er . . . if you have one competent managing engineer, and if he has between four and seven senior discipline engineers as direct reports, and if he cannot handle the engineering decisions, then you are either attempting some new Manhattan Project, or you got the Three Stooges for management.
Thanks for nailing it, and for continuing to speak truth to power, Larry. I sure hope neither your nor Judge Nap does not bite the dust over our current affliction by garbage-brained censors!
“CIA QUIETLY ADMITS I WAS RIGHT ABOUT NIGER”
And then you were hacked, in mid-victory lap, in mid-pat on the back.
I think your friends at the CIA just reminded you who is boss.
ON POINT. GOOD ARTICLE LARRY!
