This is what I pieced together reading internet links I did not cite and it could be wrong
Jim Hogshire made a movie about a homosexual jailhouse romance between two males
Jim also wrote a book about how to make opium
One day he put a gun to Bob Robert Black's head and told him to convert to Islam
Bob wrote a letter to the police saying where Jim's opium lab is and where Jim keeps his shotgun
Jim arrested
Bob probably never would have done that if Jim did not point a gun at his head

[...] there are these five ways in which others might criticize you. Their speech may be
- timely or untimely,
- true or false,
- gentle or harsh,
- beneficial or harmful,
- from a heart of love or from secret hate.
When others criticize you, they may do so in any of these ways. If that happens, you should train like this: ‘Our minds will remain unaffected. We will blurt out no bad words. We will remain full of compassion, with a heart of love and no secret hate. We will meditate spreading a heart of love to that person. And with them as a basis, we will meditate spreading a heart full of love to everyone in the world—abundant, expansive, limitless, free of enmity and ill will.’ That’s how you should train.

Private internet use will be done at ilnternet cafe again, especially places on the other side of the tracks (if you know what I mean)
Down at city hall, money will change hands, and people will look the other way.
BUZZWELL'S SECOND PREDICTION:
There will be a resurgence in the use of paper for magazines, letters, contracts, etc.

The Dictator vs. The Inconvenient Patriot: Trump vs. Thomas Massie
The Dictator vs. The Inconvenient Patriot: Trump vs. Thomas Massie
“Israel-First Trump vs. America-First Massie: The MAGA Soap Opera You Didn’t Know You Needed”
Donald Trump has finally found his ultimate nemesis: Representative Thomas Massie, the lone GOP congressman who dares to put Americans first — even if it means driving the “Israel-First” crowd and Trump himself to bitter rage.
Massie has been a thorn in Trump’s side since Day One. Back in 2020, when Trump issued emergency lockdown orders during the pandemic, Massie had the audacity to point out, quite accurately, that this was exactly what dictators do. Imagine that — a Republican calling out presidential overreach! Trump wanted to “throw Massie out of the Republican Party” back then, but the Kentucky Congressman survived.
Ever since, Massie has been the rebel who refuses to tow the Israel-first line so painstakingly maintained by the rest of the GOP (or as we now know them: the “Guardians of Pedophiles”). He alone voted no to billions in aid for Israel’s Iron Dome, boycotted Netanyahu’s speeches, and has openly criticized the cozy AIPAC-GOP love affair, infuriating Trump and his allies.
But Massie’s real sin in Trump’s eyes? Pushing through a vote to expose the “Trump files” — those deeply embarrassing Epstein connections the party would rather sweep under the rug. His actions forced the GOP (read: Guardians of Pedophiles) into an early recess to try to dodge transparency before the scandal came out in full force. How dare he disrupt the usual bipartisan cover-up routine?
Despite months of Trump’s blistering attacks—calling Massie a “loser,” a “grandstander,” and worse—MAGA has suddenly adopted a “hands-off Massie” stance. Why? Because Massie’s America-first rebellious streak is actually starting to resonate with a base exhausted by endless foreign wars, unchecked foreign spending, and politicians begging for approval from foreign lobbies.
Trump’s hatred boils down to this: Massie won’t take bribes, won’t vote as told, and worst of all, takes his oath to America and the Constitution seriously rather than bowing to the Israel lobby or covering up inconvenient truths.
So here we are: a party split between those loyal to shadowy foreign interests and one man daring to put country over lobbyists. Massie may be the “inconvenient patriot,” but in the circus of MAGA politics, he’s the one who refuses to play the clown.
MAGA supports Massie’s long-standing opposition to Trump policies, including his early pandemic lockdown criticism, his refusal to support Israel-first policies, his Epstein transparency push.

He leaves behind numerous unanswered questions regarding the 1989 Revolution and the June 1990 mineriad, as well as a political legacy inextricably linked to the Social Democratic Party (PSD).
At the same time, Iliescu is credited with Romania’s membership in NATO and the European Union, which cemented freedom and democracy in the country."
