To the garden. The Europeans are the plants and the Americans are the gardeners

Princess abandons royal duties over relationship with ‘shaman’​

Norway’s royal family announced on Tuesday that Princess Martha Louise would cease her official duties and relinquish her patronages to focus on her relationship with Durek Verrett, a self-proclaimed “shaman” to the stars who sells magic amulets.

In an official statement, the royal court said Martha Louise would no longer use the title of Princess or refer to the royal family in her commercial ventures or on her social media accounts, while other members of the family would take over patronage of the organizations she sponsored.

“The Princess is taking this step to create a clearer dividing line between her business activities and her role as a member of the royal family,” the statement read.

Martha Louise, 51, is no stranger to controversy, having lost her ‘Her Royal Highness’ title in 2002 when she claimed she could speak to angels and chose to work as a clairvoyant. However, the latest move came after a surge in media interest in her relationship with Durek Verrett, a so-called “6th-generation shaman.”

Verrett, who charges $1,500 for a virtual consultation, has reportedly worked with celebrities like Gwenyth Paltrow and Antonio Banderas. In his book, ‘Spirit Hacking’, he claimed that the human mind can cure cancer, and uses his website to sell ‘Spirit Optimizer’ medallions that adjust “imbalances in frequency relationships to bring you peace,” and protect the user from “evil eye spells, curses, or magic meant to harm you.”

Verrett, who stated that using one of these trinkets cured him of Covid-19, has been described in the Norwegian media as a “swindler.”

Martha Louise and Verrett are engaged. Once married, Verrett will not gain a royal title or represent the royal court, but will “become a part of the royal family,” the court’s statement said.

Norway isn’t going to be happy that a conman is part of their royal family lmao.

Machines in Mercer County, New Jersey, were also inoperable In Arizona’s Maricopa County, issues flagged with tabulators​

Voters at some precincts (Pennsylvania) indicate that voting machines are running out of paper, and election officials are scrambling to address the situation.

LUZERNE COUNTY, Pa. — A judge in Luzerne County has ruled that polling places in the county should remain open until 10 p.m. Tuesday because of problems with ballots at a number of locations. The ruling comes after reports of problems at the polls in parts of Luzerne County. Long lines of people waiting to cast their ballot Tuesday morning in Luzerne County, but it wasn't because of voter turnout. There just wasn't enough paper.

California congressional race pits Asian vs Asian, with a strong anti-China bias​

• Republican Michelle Steel, a Korean-American, is running against Democrat Jay Chen, a Taiwanese-American, in a heavily Vietnamese district in Orange County
• Steel’s attempts to characterise Chen as soft on China and a Communist Party sympathiser has elevated concern that it will worsen anti-Asian violence

A Korean accusing a Taiwanese to gain the votes of the Vietnamese. You can't make this sh*t up.​

And they wonder why Asian Americans are regularly victims of urban violence. With self love like this, who needs self hate?

IDK man, perhaps, just perhaps, instead of trying to spark a World War 3, English Vegetable and her DPP Wanwanese frogs should focus more on resolving the more pressing matters, like, IDK, mass kidnappings by scam gangs across Taiwan?

Unroll thread:

Mass kidnapping *in Taiwan* by scam gangs are clearly happening at unthinkable scale, as Taiwan police discovered and rescued.. Nov 1: 26 victims, 8 gangsters arrested Nov 3: 32 victims (other 3 died already), 8 gangsters Nov 8 (over several months): 20 victims, 27 gangsters

Common modus operandi is to lure job seekers to "job interview" with ads, mug and imprison them in apartment rooms/hotels. Victims are kept in handcuff, constantly tortured and fed only minimum food, forced to provide bank accounts, IDs, and to make scam calls to China.

Past week police busted one big group that kidnapped 61 (!) victims at two places, 3 died already. Taipei police further announced today they've busted another 4 different groups and rescued 20 victims over last few months.

The scale of the operations, and the fact several different groups have been discovered already means there's a massive kidnapping crime wave happening *in Taiwan* right now and not some isolated incidents.

Amidst these shocking reports, no comment so far from Pres.

or Minister of Interior Hsu Kuo-yung (noted for incompetence). KMT noted how Pres Tsai's Facebook has posted 15 times about local elections and not a single comment on kidnapping cases.

Nothing to see here, just social Darwinism in action

I saw that 60 minutes story on social media. China is not sending the "opium" version of TikTok to the rest of the world. That's what the rest of the world wants of TikTok. The "Chinese" TikTok is typical of what Chinese want so there's no innocent West being influenced by foreign concepts. Mark Zuckerberg is actively trying to divert attention to TikTok for the problems cited that Facebook creates. I saw Fareed Zakaria on Bill Maher's show and he even brought up that he doesn't understand how a bunch of teenagers dancing is a threat to US national security and this British guy that's on the show too supposedly writing about how bad social media is only can bring up China's access to data like how all social media makes money if people want it for free. There's no bad influence like how Twitter and Facebook do. It's just China stealing data of a bunch of nobodies that most likely won't amount to anything. What it comes down to they don't like TikTok because it's a international Chinese success not a Western success and that sums up what the West is afraid of most... The Chinese winning over them.

One of the real reasons why the U.S. wants to ban TikTok:

It is quiet simple actually. Xi found out that officials in the US government had a F**k China week and went “oh crap, we need to protect our motherland from sexual assault”.

Thomas L. Friedman liked Globalism so much he even wrote a book about it: "The World is Flat". Now he no longer likes it because the U.S. can't compete with China on the world stage anymore. He is just another hypocritical sore loser who can be safely disregarded.

A war is the only way possible to check China's rise. Some commentators in the U.S. can't wait for it obviously.
