Mar. 31 (M,) 2025 How to buy Wisconsinites?
Too condescending... Lawless.... (forgiving a South African immigrant who does not know the US. law?)
How many Wisconsinites are not humiliated by such a buying behavior through - two checks and other purchasing ballots of $20 dollars per piece by holding one of the candidates' sign....?
Well, if nothing else can be done, then, is this a good idea or not - Vote for the candidate whom the tiny chainsaw-man dislikes and win the 1 million dollar check? Then choose a smallest prison-home where he can live in ... - to show our "empathy" and appreciation.

Musk gives away two $1 million checks to Wisconsin voters in high profile judicial race
Elon Musk also promised smaller payments to others who help elect a conservative candidate to the state's top court in a closely watched election.

Cheapskate! 2 tiny checks to buy Wisconsintes? Does this guy, socialized by the Apartheid and Neo-Nazi family tradition, think if a South African can buy a president of USA, then he can buy anything? Isn't he a smartie? Hope Wisconsintes prove this small cahainsaw male is wrong - for majority of Wisconsites are much bigger, greater, wiser and more expensive than that president he bought!
Krystal Huang
This is not a redneck, hillbilly state as this tiny male wishes...

If one studies how the way this small male becomes so called "a cleaver man," one will realize the opportunist who does not invent nor create new things, knows to play tricks better than you do. That's is the main difference between this chainsaw man and the rest.

If you're a little confused about what Mxxk is trying to achieve with DXGE, here's the breakdown:
Exxn Mxxk and Pxter Thxxl cofounded a company that became PayPal.
Other executives at PayPal went on to found or lead other huge tech companies including YouTube, LinkedIn, Reddit, Affirm, and many VC firms.
This group became known as the PayPal mafia because they exerted an outsized influence on Silicon Valley.
Pxter Thxxl mentored a young JD Vxnce and helped him get set up in his first VC firm.
Peter Thxxl and the PayPal mafia funded JD Vxnce's successful Senate run. Amazing because he had absolutely zero political experience.
Thiel and Mxxk all but forced Txxmp to choose JD Vxnce as VP in exchange for funding his presidential campaign.
The three of them, plus a lot of other tech billionaires subscribe to an ideology called the Dark Enlightenment espoused by this super weird, creepy dude: Curtis Yarvin aka Mencius Moldbug.
Yarvin preaches that the media and academia represent "The Cathedral" that secretly controls power and must be dismantled.
He advocates for a corporate run, monarchy, led by a CEO-Dictator.
Says that Democracy is an "outdated software" and openly opposes it and that:
- Government agencies should be dismantled and The U.S. should be broken up into "patchworks" controlled by tech oligarchs.
- That the elite tech billionaires should rule because they have the intelligence to "fix" society
- That the "masses are asses" too dumb to govern themselves.
The strategy is to gut the government via R.A.G.E - Retire All Govt Employees to make government incapable of operating.
Then to replace government with private corporations.
To eliminate elections because they are "obsolete"
To use distraction and chaos to prevent public resistance.
Trump is their useful tool to be disposed of as soon as they can wrest control.
This is why Elon wears a black MAGA hat. They are not Trump supporters, they are "Dark MAGA"
This isn't a hypothetical. The plan is already in motion:
- Mxxk, Thixl, and their network are actively dismantling democratic institutions.
- JD Vxnce, the “MXGA heir,” is being positioned to help implement this transition.
- The public is too distracted to realize what’s happening.
- If successful, democracy in America will be permanently replaced by a corporate-run authoritarian state.
-----------------------------------
That's it. Now that you understand that you can see how everything that's happening fits within that lens.
Now the only question is what do we do about it?

"In Sanskrit, 'the mercy buddha' or 'the bodhisattva of great compassion' is most commonly referred to as Avalokiteśvara (अवलोकितेश्वर), and the concept of compassion itself is represented by Karuṇā (करुणा)."

Brazil Supreme Court to put Bolsonaro on trial for alleged coup attempt
Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro will stand trial for allegedly conspiring to overthrow the government after he lost a 2022 election, the Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday, moving swiftly in a case that could reshape the political landscape.
Krystal Huang
found an old Citizen Journalism #71
posted on July 4, 2020 about this gentleman and the one - here , another type of coup-faternal-twins,) during the Pandemics. Both downplayed the disaster.
One of them, began with "HOAX!" to convince WE The People.
The other one meant - it was not a big deal....
Krystal Huang
In the middle of the picture, within this group of "dignitaries:," only one rejected to wear mask amid the viral rampant attack!
As to the above one - the leader of Brazil watered down the law of wearing masks amid the vast death tolls due to being infected with the viruses.
The left hand side of data showing the Top 2 highest sick and death tolls - were the US. and Brazil!!!
Krystal Huang
This was how leaders led people marching on the path to the massive illness and deaths. Both men denied the loss of the election, and both launched the coup attempts.
So far, one of THEM was arrested. Bravo! Brasil Supreme Court!
But, how DARE this/his Supreme Court to do such an arrest?

All the greviance-souls during the pandemics shall not die in vain. The justice will prevail sooner, if not later...

"My dear hero, I have been doing everything to make you happy. I condemned Z a dictator. He is a war-monger, initiating this war. Our smart team gave him hard time, but, why you replied to me with such a strange message (the truce conditions)..." scratched his head, the litle donnie boy.
The sweet Pudding responded, " You see nothing yet. You are not a 100% king! The ceasefire talk has to accord with what I desire. Nothing more and nothing less, otherwise, the world will receive the top secret... Anyway, thanks for letting me take a good break to recuperate..."

There are approx. 15 to 20% of residents in Taiwan. and most of them are immigrants and their offpring, spouses and relatives from China. An example is ms. Elaine Chao, a wife of Sen. McConnell. Her family moved from Taiwan to the US. They believe in the leaders of the ccp-regime, who are nice guys with tremendous power... These years, the propagandic infltration from the ccp-regime deep into various Taiwan's institutions has never been so saturated before... This big group of people enjoy the hard-earned freedom from Taiwan, but dare not to move to the ccp-china (a.k.a. west korea.)
