"Stop being mean at my dad!" thegatewaypundit.com/2025/08/a… Accused Minnesota Assassin Vance Boelter Calls Tim Walz as ‘Traitor to the American People,’ Claims Governor Pushed Chinese Influence and Government Control in Wild Rant
In a bombshell exclusive interview with the New York Post from behind bars, Boelter,57, branded Walz a “traitor to the American people” and accused him of cozying up to Communist China.
Boelter, currently incarcerated in the Sherburne County Jail, spoke to the New York Post via the facility’s internal messaging system.
The accused killer claimed he first met the governor when Walz “personally reappointed” him to Minnesota’s Workforce Development Council in 2019. He accused Walz of repeatedly praising China, quoting him as saying, “China was the future, China knows how to get things done, China knows how to control their people.”
Boelter further alleged Walz pushed socialist ideals, stating, “Tim would say stuff like everyone should be either working for the government, or be supported by the government.”
Vance Luther Boelter, the man accused of the targeted assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, has unleashed a wild tirade about Governor Tim Walz.

Hi everyone! It’s been a few months since last time, so let’s dive into another status update. The big new projects and features we’ve been working on are elsewhere or still baking, so it’s mostly smaller additions and bug fixes, but there’s still plenty of good stuff.

August 16, 2025 @ 16:26 (!) Good afternoon family & friends❣️ After sleeping away most of the afternoon I thought I would stop by and say hello, since I can 😲! While I was here I decided to put up a meme post that I haven't done in a long time: Senior Saturday [chia.owly.net/senior-saturday-…]. I used to do them now and again but had forgotten about them...anyway, not sure how long it will be until sleep overtakes me again so I figured I'd better get right on it 😆! Also installed Ventusky on my tablet which I've been wanting to do for a while now, and did a quick scan of my social sites which was fun for a change! Now hoping I can spend some time on a few other things and have something to eat before sleep overtakes me yet again 😵💫, that would make this a much better day, and I will see you in the morning❣️🥱🙏🤕🛌

BRICS+: India Taps BRICS to Strengthen Energy India, a major global oil consumer relying heavily on imports, has historically been susceptible to fluctuations in Western oil prices and geopolitical pressures
Tuesday, August 12, 2025
By Dr Iqbal Survé and Sesona Mdlokovana
India, a major global oil consumer relying heavily on imports, has historically been susceptible to fluctuations in Western oil prices and geopolitical pressures. This vulnerability, stemming from importing over 85% of its crude oil, exposed the nation to supply disruptions and external political factors. However, collaborative efforts within BRICS are now reshaping India's energy approach. Energy is evolving into a strategic tool for global influence, diminishing reliance on traditional markets and challenging established power dynamics. This shift marks a move away from mere commodity dependence toward a more geopolitically nuanced energy strategy.
Diversification through BRICS Partnerships
India has drastically increased its crude oil imports from Russia. As Western sanctions against Moscow intensified in 2023, Indian refineries leveraged discounted Russian oil. Consequently, Russia's share of India’s total oil imports surged from under 2% before the Ukraine war to over 40% by mid-2024. This wasn't a simple chance to save money; it symbolised a larger strategy to break away from supply chains and financial networks dominated by the West.
India's strengthening ties with Iran, a key energy provider in the Global South and recent BRICS addition, suggest a push to revitalise the stalled Chabahar Port project and restart oil imports previously stopped due to U.S. sanctions. BRICS collaboration provides a buffer against such unilateral limitations by promoting alternative trade methods, such as local currency settlements, the BRICS Pay system, and possible substitutes for SWIFT. These resources directly bolster India's energy independence.
The partnership between India and the UAE, a fellow BRICS member, holds significant importance. Abu Dhabi is not just a key oil provider, but also invests in India’s strategic petroleum reserves and related infrastructure. Further strengthening this robust South-South energy alliance, the UAE’s sovereign wealth funds have jointly invested in India's renewable energy projects, demonstrating a comprehensive collaboration spanning both conventional and clean energy sectors.
BRICS as a Platform for Energy Sovereignty
BRICS transcends a mere convenient alliance, rapidly evolving into a powerful instrument for its members to achieve energy sovereignty. The group's advocacy for dedollarisation, balanced global governance, and cooperation among developing nations is significantly altering the structure of the global energy sector. For India, this shift means a broader range of energy providers, advantageous trade arrangements, and increased independence in its energy-related international relations.
Established in 2015, the BRICS Energy Research Cooperation Platform has facilitated joint studies, technology exchanges, and policy dialogues that significantly contribute to India's energy planning. Notably, India hosted the BRICS Energy Dialogue in 2022, advocating for joint investments in upstream oil and gas exploration and South-South capacity building. This has led to tangible collaborative projects in Africa and Central Asia. In these regions, BRICS members, including Indian public sector undertakings such as ONGC Videsh, are jointly developing oil fields and refining infrastructure.
India's dedication to energy transition gains significant backing from BRICS. Notably, India collaborates with China and Brazil to promote solar energy through the International Solar Alliance. Moreover, BRICS' green finance instruments, such as the New Development Bank (NDB), are channeling funds into India's clean energy ventures. These include solar parks in Madhya Pradesh and wind energy farms in Gujarat.
Strategic Autonomy and Global Realignment
India's energy security is intrinsically tied to the broader geopolitical shift towards a multipolar world. The Global South, historically marked by unequal dependencies, is now asserting its strategic independence. BRICS plays a pivotal role in this transformation, providing India with political and economic stability against the pressure tactics of established powers. This is especially crucial during global disruptions such as the COVID-19 pandemic, sanctions, or financial crises.
While concerns exist that stronger energy partnerships with nations such as Russia or Iran could complicate India's relations with Western powers, India's foreign policy is driven by strategic autonomy, not non-alignment. Western nations must recognize that a self-assured Global South will not sacrifice its energy security to geopolitical maneuvers.
Energy as Empowerment
India's strategic energy realignment within BRICS signifies a profound move towards economic autonomy, not merely a simple shift. Through these alliances, India actively reduces price volatility, ensures stable, extended-term energy resources, and cultivates an energy sector that reflects both its developmental goals and its strategic position in global politics.
As the Global South's influence grows, BRICS establishes a framework for a fairer, more secure energy future, positioning India – with its significant population and development goals – as a key player. In an era of energy instability and geopolitical competition, BRICS presents India with strategic advantages, extending beyond mere oil resources.

In a few more years, the only forewarning we'll have of inbound hurricanes will be reports from other countries' satellites. "Yo, Florida! Y'all ready for a CAT 5? Possibly arriving in 24-36 hours? What do you mean we should have let you know earlier? It's not our fault you threw away your weather services."

"US President Barack Obama hosted youthful Saudi Arabian Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the White House on Friday, underscoring his guest's meteoric rise and increasingly pivotal role in managing strained US-Saudi ties.
Bin Salman, the king's son and the country's defence minister, has met the biggest of Washington's big hitters during a week-long visit.
He held talks with the CIA director, the secretaries of state, defense, treasury, commerce and energy as well as leading members of Congress.
His meeting with Obama took place in the Oval Office, a rare honor for a non-head of state, one not afforded to the Dalai Lama earlier in the week." middleeasteye.net/news/obama-m…

Don't fall in the imperialist bullshit. @Strandjunker profoundly serves an (warmongering) agenda, don't fall to that. Trump is egomaniac, but all the US pr. served the bloodshed of the world for the profit of empire.

- nepiant states they don't like seeing preggo art - somebody replies with "oh but it's good to see your y foo like that sometimes y know" - nepiant replies: "I don't want to raise a kid though, all i think about is the large burden coming the y foos way when i see that"
i mean with how I've grown up it sure does seem difficult to raise a child. i can understand this perspective.
- the horde is alerted and nepiant is viciously torn to shreds
was it the implication that he'd abandon the child? i don't think that was an intentional one
I mean if the perspective of the horde is "reproduce without question and without any regard for your situation at that moment", then obviously I disagree with such a thing. I just made a post saying I wouldn't fuck because of my own god given curses that the child would probably inherit.
On Friday, the first meeting took place between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump after Trump's re-election — and it was their last meeting in 2019.

Just txt a fren who is a retired air force crew chief who worked on F-111s and A-10s. He's like "Yeah I saw that. Morons are told NOT to fuck with the yellow and black handles for a reason. CONSTANTLY told."
In this idiot's defense, he was a recruiter...but still. One of the last things that fkr heard was "don't fuck with the yellow and black handles, understand?" According to my fren.

Ενδιαφέρον ότι η είδηση που αναπαράγεται για τη φωτιά σε κινητήρα αεροπλάνου που απογειώθηκε από Κέρκυρα παραλείπει να αναφέρει ότι ήταν της Boeing και αναφέρουν μόνο τον τύπο του (Β757-300). in.gr/2025/08/16/greece/fotia-…
Το αεροπλάνο απογειώθηκε με προορισμό το Ντίσελντορφ και μετά από λίγη ώρα έπιασε φωτιά ο ένας από τους δύο κινητήρες - Το αεροπλάνο προσγειώθηκε με ασφάλεια στο Μπρίντεζι της Ιταλίας
Μπορεί να είναι και τυχαίο αλλά δεν είναι απίθανο το τμήμα PR της Boeing να έχει βάλει το χεράκι του εξαιτίας των τεράστιων προβλημάτων ασφαλείας που έχουν παρουσιαστεί τα τελευταία χρόνια.
