The greatest man whom ever lived.
Loved by the German people, immediately trusted by animals with superior instincts. With love, Eva Braun married him before they passed on.
Adolf created a temporary utopia in Germany. One we will never see. And that is the essence of misery.

Happy birthday, Hitler.

Does anyone still have the link to the clip with a man implied as Odin walking on the street while Odal by Wardruna is playing?
I've searched through a ton of videos based on that little information. Haven't found anything. I'd like to see it.

Well, he looks like Santa, I guess but Santa is inspired by Odin. This walks the side walk and three cowardly jews cower in fear as he walks past starimg them down. He then walks in a shop and the jew clerk there shines his david star whch annoys the Odin man and he proceeds to whoop the jews ass. All the while the song Odal by Wardruna is playing.

The internet is actually a large contributing factor the destruction of free speech.  When you have a database of crimes, you see the pattern of blood niggers leave.  Going from that to Dr. Goodnigger on TV becomes a joke.  Trying to prevent the government from robbing your taxes with more slaves is a violation of constitutional ammendments from after the Civil War.

An anon is trying to see if they should revive /pnd/ (8kuns /pol/)
As /qresearch/ is currently the most active board figured, the question should be asked here. 
Give your thoughts. Would you like to see another larger board here on 8kun?
4chan is a gay honeypot. Which has jannies which ban users for no reason.
Please provide your thoughts for the OP.
Ask your other chan anons if this is something they would like.

There are two problems with that. Paranoia of Feds infiltrating (as they always do) coupled with the fact kikes are drawn to us like moths to a flame, and this is a small backwoods imageboard with low traffic. France anon left. English anon left. Spain anon comes here sometimes. Slav anon, Tardus briefly and then myself. That's it. The plane tickets alone for international travel would be too much.

https://www.government.se/government-policy/military-defence/defense-cooperation-agreement-with-the-united-states/

In 2023, representatives of Sweden and the US have negotiated an agreement to deepen defence cooperation between the countries. The Defense Cooperation Agreement (DCA) will constitute a framework for continued defence cooperation by regulating the conditions for the presence of US military forces in Sweden.

The DCA was signed by the Swedish Minister for Defence Pål Jonson and the United States Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III on the 5th of December 2023. In order for the agreement to enter into force, the Riksdag must approve it and adopt the legislative amendments needed to implement it.

https://www.government.se/contentassets/ad5f87be923e4065b658189a9294f480/agreement-on-defense-cooperation-between-sweden-and-the-united-states-of-america.pdf

U.S. forces, U.S. contractors, and dependents shall be exempt from regulations governing the registration and control of aliens.

Sweden recognizes the particular importance of U.S. forces authorities’ disciplinary control over members of the U.S. forces and the effect that such control has on operational readiness. Therefore, at the request of the United States and in furtherance of its commitment to mutual defense, Sweden hereby exercises its sovereign discretion to waive its primary right to exercise criminal jurisdiction over members of the U.S. forces

Members of the U.S. forces, including the civilian component, shall not be subject to any proceedings for civil claims or administrative penalties arising out of acts or omissions attributable to such persons done in the performance of their official duties.

Members of the U.S. forces and dependents shall not be liable to pay any tax, fee, license charge, or similar charges, including VAT, in the territory of Sweden on the purchase, ownership, possession, use, transfer between themselves, or transfer in connection with death, of their tangible movable property imported into the territory of Sweden or acquired there for their own personal use.

U.S. forces may contract for any goods, materiel, supplies, equipment, and services (including construction) to be furnished or undertaken in the territory of Sweden without restriction as to choice of contractor, supplier, or person who provides such goods, materiel, supplies, equipment, or services.

Understanding the need to fulfill U.S. military requirements, U.S. contractors shall be exempt from Swedish laws and regulations with respect to the terms and conditions of their employment to perform work under contracts with U.S. forces, and with respect to the licensing and registration of businesses and corporations solely with regard to the provision of goods and services to U.S. forces in the territory of Sweden.

U.S. forces’ official mail shall be exempt from inspection, search, or seizure.

The U.S. federal government is America's biggest polluter and the Department of Defense is the government's worst offender. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, unexploded ordnance waste can be found on 16,000 military ranges across the U.S. and more than half may contain biological or chemical weapons. In total, the Pentagon is responsible for more than 21,000 potentially contaminated sites and, according to the EPA, the military may have poisoned as much as 40 million acres, a little larger than Florida. That result might be considered an act of war if committed by a foreign power.

Unregulated pollution at Massachusetts Military Reservation has contaminated the only drinking water aquifer for the Cape's 200,000 year-round residents and 520,000 summer visitors. Cancer rates there are dramatically higher than the state average.

The Swedish government allowed bad people inside of Sweden - one of them murdered Ebba Åkerlund and others in Stockholm in 2017.

If the Swedish government allows US military forces inside of Sweden, it is very likely that US military forces will murder Swedes.

Further, US military forces inside of Sweden will treat Sweden like a toxic landfill and poison the Swedish environment and Swedish people - the same way the US military poisons Americans and others that live near US military bases.

https://foreignpolicy.com/2023/05/16/military-defense-overseas-bases-united-states-force-posture/

Overseas bases can indeed reassure allies, but in some cases, this strategy may work too well and risks making allies complacent in their own defense postures, content to free-ride off the United States’ largesse with little incentive to spend more on their own capabilities.

A U.S. military presence can stoke resentment among local populations and their leaders, alienating the allies that bases were intended to reassure. Labor violations, criminal conduct by U.S. soldiers, and violations of sovereignty that occur at or near U.S. military bases can jeopardize delicate diplomatic relationships and fuel anti-U.S. movements among locals.

Osama bin Laden famously cited the presence of U.S. troops on foreign soil as one motivation for the 9/11 attacks. In November 2002, he wrote, “Your forces occupy our countries; you spread your military bases throughout them.”

https://www.unz.com/article/the-us-military-excuses-an-anti-white-massacre/

Members of the 24th Infantry were guilty of the racially-motivated murder of 15 white Houstonians, seven of whom were civilians. The US troops were not trying to quell a race riot; they were the race riot.

Sergeant Henry led over 100 armed soldiers toward downtown Houston by way of Brunner Avenue and San Felipe Street and into the Fourth Ward. In their two-hour march on the city, the Blacks killed fifteen Whites, including four policemen, and seriously wounded twelve others, one of whom, a policeman, subsequently died. Four Black soldiers also died. Two were accidentally shot by their own men, one in camp and the other on San Felipe Street.

https://theintercept.com/2021/09/08/afghanistan-iraq-generals-soldiers-disciplined-911/

Austin congratulated the Afghan military for having “retaken and reestablished security in key areas, such as Kunduz.” He did not mention that the battle for Kunduz involved a U.S. aircraft attacking a hospital and killing 42 civilians — doctors, nurses, patients. It was the kind of civilian slaughter that typified U.S. military operations. Austin and an entire generation of generals did their best to avoid mentioning these inconvenient details, denying them unless they were confronted with irrefutable evidence, and then doing little in the aftermath to prevent these atrocities from reoccurring.
https://theintercept.com/2021/09/01/war-on-terror-deaths-cost/

The U.S.-led global war on terror killed nearly 1 million people globally and cost more than $8 trillion since it began two decades ago. These staggering figures come from a landmark report issued Wednesday by Brown University’s Costs of War Project, an ongoing research effort to document the economic and human impact of post-9/11 military operations.

Of those killed, 387,000 are categorized as civilians, 207,000 as members of national military and police forces, and a further 301,000 as opposition fighters killed by U.S.-led coalition troops and their allies. The report also found that around 15,000 U.S. military service members and contractors were killed in the wars, along with a similar number of allied Western troops deployed to the conflicts and several hundred journalists and humanitarian aid workers.

The death toll calculated by the Costs of War Project focuses only on deaths directly caused by violence during the global war on terror and does not include “indirect deaths, namely those caused by loss of access to food, water, and/or infrastructure, war-related disease” that have resulted from the conflicts. The report’s footnotes also state that “some of the people classified as opposition fighters may actually have been civilians as well, since there are political incentives to classify the dead as militants rather than civilians” — a caveat that dovetails with the U.S. government’s own confessed practice of labeling any “military-age males” killed in its operations as combatants unless proved otherwise.

The Costs of War Project report states that its findings about deaths in the wars are conservative, leaving many still uncounted. Although nearly 1 million people were killed since the global war on terror began, even that staggering figure is, in the words of Crawford, the project co-director, “likely a vast undercount of the true toll these wars have taken on human life.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burn_pit

A burn pit is an area of a United States military base in which waste is disposed of by burning.

According to the United States Army field manual, there are four other ways outside of burn pits to dispose of solid waste: incinerators, burial, landfills, and tactical burial.

The waste burned using burn pits included chemicals, paints, medical waste, human waste, metal and aluminum products, electronic waste, munitions (including unexploded ordnance), petroleum products, lubricants, plastics, rubber, wood, and food waste. A typical burn pit uses jet fuel (usually JP-8) as the accelerant.

https://grist.org/health/military-burn-pit-health-effects-veterans-overseas-domestic/

How the U.S. military’s toxic burn pits are poisoning Americans — overseas and at home

The burn pit sprawled across nearly 10 acres of Joint Base Balad, a U.S. air base 50 miles north of Baghdad. Plumes of noxious black smoke rose from the pile, which contained a long list of detritus from the base’s daily operations: Styrofoam containers from the dining hall, batteries, metals, plastics, paints, petroleum products, medical waste, amputated limbs, sewage, discarded food, ammunition, and more — all of it doused in jet fuel and kept smoldering 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The Department of Defense currently operates 38 toxic burn sites in the U.S., mostly in low-income, rural communities. At these sites, the military collects excess, obsolete, or unserviceable munitions, including bullets, missiles, mines, and the bulk explosive and flammable materials used to manufacture them, and destroys them by adding diesel and lighting them on fire, or by blowing them up. Last fiscal year, the Department of Defense destroyed 32.7 million pounds of explosive hazardous waste on U.S. soil using these methods, known as open burning and open detonation.
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/oct/13/pfas-pollution-us-military-bases-forever-chemicals

Plumes of toxic PFAS “forever chemicals” flowing from at least 245 US military bases are contaminating or threatening to pollute drinking water for nearby communities, and hundreds more are likely at risk across America, a new Department of Defense report finds.

https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1990-06-18-mn-96-story.html

The United States’ far-flung network of overseas military bases, operating far outside the reach of American environmental regulation, left a quagmire of chemical contamination all around the globe.

For years, the brook that runs through Rohl just beyond the runways of Bitburg Air Base was a dumping ground for unwanted jet fuel, chemical solvents and firefighting chemicals.

US military installations polluted the drinking water of the Pacific island of Guam, poured tons of toxic chemicals into Subic Bay in the Philippines, leaked carcinogens into the water source of a German spa, spewed tons of sulfurous coal smoke into the skies of Central Europe and pumped millions of gallons of raw sewage into the oceans.

As the world’s most extensive industrial enterprise, the US military generates huge quantities of hazardous wastes--used oils and solvents, paint sludges, plating residues, heavy metals, asbestos, cyanide, PCBs, battery acid, pesticides, herbicides and virtually every other toxic substance known to man.

The Pentagon also creates such special classes of lethal byproducts as high-level radioactive wastes from atomic weapons plants, high explosive powder, outdated chemical weapons, rocket fuels and ordnance practice ranges full of unexploded bullets, bombs and artillery shells.

While there is no systematic effort under way to determine how badly polluted America’s overseas bases are, the US Army--without even looking formally--identified 300 contaminated sites in West Germany alone. Of the total, 30 are on bases slated for closure and 25 are currently deemed serious enough to require expensive long-term remedies.

The US Air Force acknowledged that it polluted soil, streams or ground water at every one of its airfields in Europe.

The US Navy says it does not know the extent of contamination at its many overseas bases because it has neither money nor a legal requirement to study the problem. The US Navy’s senior environmental officer conceded that the service is aware of a number of polluted sites worldwide but refused to identify them because, he said, it would create “problems with host nations.”

In theory, the American armed services abroad follow US or host nation environmental law, whichever is stricter. In practice, they follow neither because US regulation does not reach overseas while military installations are generally exempted from host nation laws under basing agreements, said Rep. Richard Ray (D-Ga.), chairman of a House Armed Services Committee panel that monitors military environmental practices.

In response to requests by The Times under the US Freedom of Information Act for data on contamination at specific foreign bases, the US Air Force said it could not meet the law’s legal deadline and would provide some information at an unspecified future date. The US Navy did not respond at all.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_F._Kennedy_Jr.

Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. (born January 17, 1954) is an environmental lawyer and activist.

A member of the Kennedy family, Kennedy is a son of U.S. attorney general and senator Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of U.S. president John F. Kennedy.

I’m a former drug addict and the first thing that you do if you want to deal with drug addiction is you admit there’s a problem and then you can deal with everything. We need to admit there’s a problem in our government before we’re able to heal our country.

I’ve spent 40 years litigating against the agencies, the regulatory agencies in the United States, so I can tell you that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is effectively run by the oil industry, the coal industry and the pesticide industry. When I was on the trial team that brought the Monsanto cases, and we ended up with a $13 billion settlement after winning three trials, we uncovered that the head of the pesticide division at the EPA was secretly working for Monsanto, and was running that agency to promote the mercantile ambitions of that business rather than the public interest. He was killing studies, he was fixing studies, he was ghost-writing studies. And that’s true throughout the agencies.

If you look at the pharmaceutical industry in our country, it runs the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA gets 50% of its budget from Big Pharma. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) spends half of its budget purchasing vaccines from Big Pharma, and then distributing it. And the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is just an incubator for new pharmaceutical products. It doesn’t do the basic research that we want them to be doing — about where all these diseases come from. The studies that do get done are studies that develop pharmaceutical products. And then the NIH collects royalties when the pharma company sells those products. The regulator is essentially a partner with the regulated industry. The Department of Transportation (DOT) is run by the railroads in our country and by the airlines; the banks have utterly corrupted the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC); and the media has corrupted the Federal Election Commission (FEC).

I don’t know of any values that my uncle John Kennedy harboured, or my father shared, that I don’t share. They had antipathy and suspicion towards war and the military-industrial complex; they did not want corporations running the American government; they were completely against censorship. They were against the use of fear as a governing tool, and they spoke out about it often. If you go down the list of things that they believed in, I don’t think there’s really any daylight between me and what they believed.

I think my ultimate ambition is to restore the faith and the love of America, and the pride in America, so that my children can grow up with the kind of pride that I felt about my country. I can restore our moral authority around the world, and restore the reputation of America as an exemplary nation, something that the rest of the world can look to as an example - one that people will want to copy - rather than as a threat. My uncle believed that America should be a leader, but we should not be a bully; and people understand the difference between those two things. Because my uncle steadfastly avoided war, and instead said: “I don’t want the picture of Americans around the world to be somebody with a gun, I want it to be a Peace Corps volunteer.” And because of that, people around the world love John Kennedy more than any president in our history. There’s more boulevards named after him, more avenues, more statues to him, more universities and hospitals, in Africa and Latin America and all over the world than any other U.S. President. That’s because he had a different vision that was not based on conquering people, but on helping them.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racketeering

Racketeering is a type of organized crime in which the persons set up a coercive, fraudulent, extortionary, or otherwise illegal coordinated scheme or operation (a "racket") to repeatedly or consistently collect a profit.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racketeer_Influenced_and_Corrupt_Organizations_Act

The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act is a United States federal law that provides for extended criminal penalties and a civil cause of action for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care_fraud

Health care fraud includes "snake oil" marketing, health insurance fraud, drug fraud, and medical fraud.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_oil

Snake oil is a term used to describe a scam. Similarly, snake oil salesman is a common label used to describe someone who sells, promotes, or is a general proponent of some valueless or fraudulent cure, remedy, or solution. The term comes from the "snake oil" that used to be sold as a cure-all elixir for many kinds of physiological problems.

Selling snake oil is often portrayed as a confidence trick: a traveling salesman purports to be a doctor, selling fake medicines with boisterous marketing hype, and supported by pseudo-scientific evidence. To increase sales, an accomplice in the crowd (a shill or a "toadie") will often attest to the value of the product in an effort to provoke buying enthusiasm. The "doctor" will leave town before his customers realize they have been cheated.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quackery

Quackery is the practice of fraudulent medicine.

Common elements of general quackery include fraudulent diagnoses using fraudulent diagnostic tests, as well as untested or refuted treatments, especially for serious diseases such as cancer.

Unproven, usually ineffective, and sometimes dangerous medicines and treatments have been peddled throughout human history. Theatrical performances were sometimes given to enhance the credibility of purported medicines.

The evidence-based medicine community has criticized the infiltration of quackery into mainstream academic medicine, education, and publications, accusing institutions of "diverting research time, money, and other resources from more fruitful lines of investigation in order to pursue a theory that has no basis in biology."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychiatry

The term psychiatry was first coined by the German physician Johann Christian Reil in 1808 and literally means the 'medical treatment of the soul' (psych- 'soul' from Ancient Greek psykhē 'soul'; -iatry 'medical treatment' from Gk. iātrikos 'medical' from iāsthai 'to heal').

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-psychiatry

Anti-psychiatry is a movement based on the view that psychiatry is more damaging than helpful to patients.

Objections to psychiatry include the unreliability of psychiatric diagnosis, the definite harm associated with psychiatric medications, the failure of psychiatry to demonstrate any disease treatment mechanism for psychiatric medications, and legal concerns about human rights and civil freedom being nullified by the presence of psychiatric diagnosis.

The definitions of psychiatric diagnoses consist of combinations of phenomenological criteria, such as symptoms and signs. Psychiatric diagnostic categories are called disorders and are not validated by biological criteria, as medical diseases are; although they purport to represent medical diseases and take the form of medical diagnoses.

The influence of pharmaceutical companies is another major issue for the anti-psychiatry movement. As many critics from within and outside of psychiatry have argued, there are many financial and professional links between psychiatry, regulators, and pharmaceutical companies. Drug companies routinely fund much of the research conducted by psychiatrists, advertise medication in psychiatric journals and conferences, fund psychiatric and healthcare organizations and health promotion campaigns, and send representatives to lobby general physicians and politicians.

Psychiatric practices were introduced and framed as "treatments" for mental disorders, including inducing seizures (by electroshock, insulin or other drugs) or psychosurgery (lobotomy). In the US, beginning in 1939 through 1951, over 50,000 lobotomy operations were performed in mental hospitals.

The number of psychiatric drug prescriptions have been increasing at an extremely high rate since the 1950s. In the United States, antidepressants and tranquilizers are now the top selling class of prescription drugs, and antipsychotics and other psychiatric drugs also rank near the top, all with expanding sales.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opioid_epidemic

The opioid epidemic, also referred to as the opioid crisis, is the rapid increase in drug use and overdose deaths attributed either in part or in whole to the class of drugs called opiates/opioids since the 1990s.

Opioids are a diverse class of moderate to strong painkillers, including oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine, heroin, and fentanyl.

Due to the sedative effects of opioids, opioids may cause respiratory failure and death.

From 1999 to 2021, approximately 645,000 Americans died from opioid use. The number of overdose deaths involving opioids in 2021 was ten times what it was in 1999.

The Sackler family is a Jewish family who owned the pharmaceutical company Purdue Pharma and later founded Mundipharma. They were described as the "most evil family in America", and "the worst drug dealers in history".

In late 2020, the Committee on Oversight and Reform of the US House of Representatives held a hearing on the role of Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family in the opioid epidemic. Regarding the Sacklers, author Patrick Radden Keefe stated "They could produce a rehearsed simulacrum of human empathy" but were "impervious to any genuine moral epiphany." Jim Cooper, a congressman from Tennessee, stated to David Sackler: "Watching you testify makes my blood boil. I am not sure I am aware of any family in America that's more evil than yours."

As OxyContin spread outside the U.S., the pattern of dysfunction repeated itself: to map the geographic distribution of the drug was also to map a rash of addiction, abuse, and death. But the Sackler family increased its efforts abroad, and is now pushing the drug, through a Purdue-related company called Mundipharma, into Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. Part of Purdue’s strategy from the beginning is to create a market for OxyContin — to instill a perceived need by making bold claims about the existence of large numbers of people suffering from untreated chronic pain.

“It’s a parallel to what the tobacco industry did,” Mike Moore, the former Mississippi attorney general, told me. “They got caught in America, they saw their market share decline, so they export it to places with even fewer regulations than we have.” He added, “You know what’s going to happen. You’re going to see lots and lots of death.” In May, several members of Congress wrote to the World Health Organization, urging it to help stop the spread of OxyContin, and mentioning the Sackler family by name. “The international health community has a rare opportunity to see the future,” they wrote. “Do not allow Purdue to walk away from the tragedy they have inflicted on countless American families simply to find new markets and new victims elsewhere.”
