What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 1050 & BENKYO RADIO 1050. Listen, Goddamnit, I am started to get upset about the number of Police Officers in France who are registered for Front National (RN), this is an embarrassment to our great nation. That’s not a reflection of the entire police force, as completely bewildering as it may sounds, some officers even vote for the left. There is a rise of the Ultra-Right in France, there could be a coup d’état if we are not careful. I am tired of Marine LePen laughing, she is from a family of Nazis. This shit is terrible. Watch this documentary (in French).

Also, #TheTrumpShow has been a terrible creation by evil forces in our government, forces more powerful than the FBI. These individuals are known to work in the Intelligence Agencies, including Trump supporters within the DIA who were heard on audio tape. It has become incredibly almost impossible to get this done, Mueller couldn’t do it, Jack Smith must gets this done, Trump is off the ballot in Colorado, #MAGAcult is fascism, black people have gone missing, I am tired of everybody playing with their thumbs, all this fucking waiting almost brought the Fourth Reich upon America. Wake the fuck up, arrest everybody in this #MAGAcult aka KKK-wannabes, I should be in France watching Stade Rennais or in England watching Manchester United. I’m exhausted.

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 1048 & BENKYO RADIO 1048. Now, there is a new story in the ‘Like a Dragon’ Gaiden series entitled “The Man Who Erased His Name.” As mentioned in a previous YouTube video, I was so excited when I installed this latest game and was about to get started for Christmas Day. IMAGINE MY BIG SURPRISE when the first game in this series was launched in 2005. This mythology is over 18 years old. I have to start from the beginning and I have a long journey, there are 23 games, with nine of them being part of the mainline series, some are spin-offs. I hope some of you will join me along for the ride.

PS. The U.N. Security Council called for another ceasefire in Israel/Palestine, and everybody is for this, except for the U.S. Veto. The entire planet are in the streets protesting for the rights of Palestinians, and fanatic forces of Zionism are against Peace. The Pope even called Netanyahu a terrorist.
PPS. Netanyahu was also the MOSSAD agent who was involved in the planning of 9/11 and the diabolical plan of 343 dead firefighters (prime factorization of 343 is 7x7x7 aka jackpot) and its subsequent $1 trillion #MilitaryIndustrialComplex without repairing Afghanistan, while Germany and Japan were rebuilt to great technology after WW II. This story will be told in the Loose Change documentary version 3. This is the longest investigation by INTERPOL. America has refused to declassify this information until the year 2051, a time where we might all be dead from #GlobalWarming and #ClimateChange.

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 1047 & BENKYO RADIO 1047. Here is a retrospective on the X-Files for its 30th Anniversary. I have some excellent news: they have announced a remake of the series. I cannot wait. As you may know the story of Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, they have both worked at the FBI Bureau for DECADES, only to realize things were part of an elaborate conspiracy, in similar fashion, Robert S. Mueller III tried his best to impeach Trump and place him in prison, the world around him did not listen, and the fucking idiot at the NSA (John Bolton) with the mustache refused to stand by the FBI (and therefore, John Bolton is complicit), and instead waited a couple of months to sell his stupid book. Next thing you know, we became stuck inside a nightmare where Trump’s stupidity caused the deaths of 600,000 Americans from COVID-19 by telling them not to get vaccinated and not wear masks, even though Donald Trump himself was vaccinated (at the time, it was 600,000 deaths, eventually it was 1,000,000 deaths from COVID-19). Trump is essentially guilty of essentially flying a plane into the WTC every week for months. Do you get the picture? Do I have your undivided attention? Good. Fuck your #MAGAcult, Trump is a terrorist. Now, what do you think about this Trump TV charade for the past couple of years? I suggest you cut the bullshit, remove Trump from the ballot in 2024, shut the fuck up, and let me play Like a Dragon Gaiden series in peace. Thank you in advance.

There was some good climate news in 2023. Really. [MIT Technology Review]

Business Insider has been banned from this blog for the time being

As #COP28 looks to ditch language on phasing down and phasing out fossil fuels, it’s time to take stock of what this means for the environment movement. It’s time for Western activists to wake up to why the call to phase out fossil fuels was doomed to fail due to a fundamental failure of the call itself.

Here at the COP28 summit in Dubai, I’ve been working with delegates from a range of developing nations – the Gambia, Ghana, Nigeria, Chad, Mali, and Malaysia to name just a few. Overwhelmingly, they tell me that the fundamental problem with the fossil fuel phase-out call is that, for them, it’s meaningless.

The focus, then, has to shift. Instead of focusing on dismantling the incumbent system, we need to focus on accelerating the deployment of the new system that will replace it (both in terms of technological transformations across key sectors, as well as related socio-economic transformations): because that’s the only way that demand for oil and gas can be eliminated.

Ultimately, the conversation needs to change to how we phase out fossil fuel demand. Because it’s demand that keeps producers in business.

Are you fucking serious? Wake the fuck up. We have to think about Presidential Elections 2024. VP Harris is the front-runner. Will Biden stay in the equation?
