TIL that the concept of cognitive dissonance explains why some followers double down when their leader fails - admitting they were wrong is too painful. Psychologist Leon Festinger coined the term after infiltrating a 1954 UFO cult whose members became more devoted when their prophecy failed

Interesting.
How many other Australian Public SERVANTS have similar conflicting 'loyalties'... 🤔
"A Jewish Australian Army officer has been stripped of his Top Secret security clearance by a review tribunal which found he had “divided loyalties” between Australia and Israel and posed an “unacceptable and avoidable risk to security” due to the threat of recruitment by "Mossad".
In his defence, the officer told the tribunal that “Zionism is an essential theme within Judaism. Judaism mandates the loyalty of a Jew to his people and to the Land of Israel. The Australian government is aware that every Jew harbours a varying degree of loyalty to Israel. Some have a higher and more overt levels of loyalty than others. This is the latent risk that the Australian government must naturally accept when employing Jews.”

'In ASIO’s assessment there are real concerns about the Applicant’s loyalty to Australia, his susceptibility to foreign influence and his compliance with security holder obligations which pose a risk to security and it is not consistent with the requirements of security for the Applicant to hold a security clearance.'

"British statesman Lord Randolph Churchill took his 18-year-old son Winston, who was not a very bright boy at school, and introduced him to his close friend Lord Nathan Meyer Rothschild one day. The Rothschilds were a Jewish banker family that managed to become one of the richest families in the world thanks to the aristocratic families of Venice. Lord Rothschild, a member of the British branch of this family, transferred the guardianship of the young Churchill to Sir Ernest Cassel. Banker Cassel became a father-like figure in the life of Churchill, especially after Randolph's death, and managed Winston’s entire fortune probably because the young man did not know much about these things. This was how the rise of the young Winston, who would be the future prime minister of the United Kingdom and would go down in history, had begun."

TIL following backlash to the Morgenthau plan for Germany, President Roosevelt claimed "I have not approved anything like that. I am sure I have not. ... I have no recollection of this at all". Upon being read back what he had signed, Roosevelt said he had "no idea how he could have initialed this"

The USAID scandal in Haiti is shocking.
After the 2010 earthquake, the U.S. sent $4.4 billion, but less than 2% of that reached the Haitian people. Meanwhile, 56% ended up in the hands of D.C. firms.
The Red Cross promised to house 130,000 people, but only constructed six homes.
There was no transparency or accountability. Both USAID and NGOs are silent about where the funds went, leaving Haitians with nothing.
WHERE DID THE MONEY GO?

LEAKED: NSA and CIA officials express their desire to have hermaphrodite babies in order to advance trans ideology.
“An intersex birth would be a great opportunity to raise a kid as non-binary and let them choose later.”
The people who run the surveillance state are insane.
