This recent article appears to have been written by someone who is not a faculty member at St. Augustine's University:

Black Eyes Illuminati: Unveiling the Secrets Behind the Conspiracy

As per this article:

"At the heart of the Black Eyes Illuminati narrative lies a symbol repeatedly described as an almond-shaped emblem tinged with shifting red and black hues—often interpreted as a representation of dual perception: seeing beyond illusion and into hidden truths. While mainstream historians assure these motifs appear in symbolic art and secret societies broadly, proponents of the conspiracy claim this imagery marks a formal, hierarchical grouping operating beyond public scrutiny—a brotherhood cloaked in ritual and exclusivity. According to insider narratives circulating in esoteric circles, the group's cohesion rests on oaths sworn in darkness, loyalty tested through secrecy, and a strict ascending structure designed to preserve ancient knowledge."

And, further along in this article:

"- Fact-checking challenges: No verifiable membership or agenda, fueling both scholarly scrutiny and public fascination. The Black Eyes Illuminati remains less a proven secret order than a compelling narrative thread woven through conspiracy culture. Whether myth, metaphor, or shadow network, its story reveals far more about human perception, systemic distrust, and the enduring allure of hidden truths—proving that sometimes, the most potent conspiracies are those we choose to believe."

Now, this is the first I've heard of "The Black Eyes Illuminati." Apparently, I didn't get the memo from "The Ancient Illuminated Seers of Bavaria (A.I.S.B.) - the World's Oldest and Most Successful Conspiracy." So, they've got some 'splainin' to do, the next time they come around looking for their "percentage."

So, this thread has gone from the U.S. of A. no longer invading Greenland, to the U.S. of A. possibly invading Canada. And, this thread isn't even located on the High Weirdness Sub-board.

Well ... pardon the interruption. I'm off to the supermarket for more popcorn. Carry on.

Back in the day on PD, we had a saying about thread drift.

Did that saying end with "Mission Accomplished."?

An RFP for a Made-in-Canada drone communications system has crossed my desk, and although there's no NDA, it's obviously intended as a proof-of-concept for military use.  Somebody in the chain of procurement has been spooked by something.

Movement away from the American sphere is in progress everywhere, both overt and otherwise.  How tangled up we still are when the Anschluss commences, remains to be seen.

I don't yet believe an Anschluss is inevitable, but I'm a hopelessly naive optimist.

An Anschluss implies at least the appearance of a referendum.  That's not going to happen.

I suppose not, although there is a small and loud contingent of Albertans that want that referendum.

Also, and trust me on this, you can't build weapons fast enough.

But it is also worth mentioning that frontage equations require 81 infantry divisions to MINIMALLY garrison Canada.  We have 12.

In an invasion of Canada, I expect the US would very quickly take the critical centers (Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver, etc.), and then be free to bomb the rest of the population relatively unimpeded.  Ukraine has a lot of difficulty with air defense; our problem would be worse.

Any attempt at a large-scale ground occupation, however, would make Vietnam look like a garden party.

Realistically, though, a war between Canada and the US would end with revolution or collapse internal to the US, not because of anything Canada could do.

I could see that ending up with the US annexed by Canada, because we'd made such a mess of ourselves and they're the most viable option to work on cleaning it up.

The POSOTUS has a lot to whine about this morning:

7 key things to know about Trump's tariffs after the Supreme Court decision

As per this article:

"The Supreme Court ruled Friday that President Trump overstepped his authority when he ordered tariffs on imports from nearly every country in the world, using a 1970s "emergency" statute."

So, on to his 'Backup Plan.'

In terms of investment the EU has realised it has to stop having infrastructure tied in with American companies, that will be permanent but its going to take about 5-10 years

Allow me to suggest moving faster than that.

Weapons and defence already started and will increase every year, what i mean is:
All energy, water, electrical, medical etc have quietly been told no more azure, google cloud or AWS. We got a consultation and it was "when can you have extracted non eu services"

I suspect the more innertia or pushback businesses provide, the more aggressive the eu level legislation on this stuff will be.

They dont just want defence independence, they want everything down to Mastercard out of Europe within a decade

Wise.
