In theory sure. In practice, damn near anyone can get a clearance if their CO leans on the evaluating body a little. It’s ridiculous some of people we happily hand serious, hardcore state secrets to
I remember people on Reddit talking about how these young enlisted guys would see their military paychecks and just buy shit right and left not realizing that they can’t actually afford it. So all these sergeants would have brand new expensive cars parked at their barracks (or however that works).
You can get your background check and get in financial trouble after the fact and you can also get the job and realize that you’re underpaid for your level of responsibility… But it might have been greed plain and simple.
I was going to make a joke about a relatively young, new member of the military blowing their signing bonus as a downpayment on a car they can’t really afford, but uh… ate the onion.
There’s a reason many military bases have a ton of car dealerships in close proximity.

I have an idea Elon - how about we bomb your house with you in it? I’m sure after a while some other people will build another house there and move in, so it’s all good, right?
Eric Meyer had said that computers, his cellphone, and the home’s internet router were taken during the raid. Herbel said her computer and phone were taken.
The router is the key to the case. That’s where you find the real crime. Idiots.
The router may have log files pertinent to the investigation. It may be basic information unless it was setup otherwise but it’s more information that can help lead to a conviction (hah) and possibly a slap on the wrists followed by a stern finger wagging.
Manufacturers for most devices are going cheap out on everything they can, see: cell phone industry and 3.5mm jacks, microSD card slots, etc. More storage ups the cost by quite a bit more than the storage itself actually costs for a new phone (but don’t worry, the phone manufacturer offers cloud storage (as a paid service)!
Storage has improved amazingly over a short period of time, there’s individual drives with more than 20 terabytes these days
The MicroSD card thing really chaps my ass… You’re already committing to a sim card slot, it’s no effort at all to allow for a dual slot that also accepts a MicroSD card.
God I wish LG stayed in the phone market, fuckin loved my V50; 3.5mm with a nice DAC built in, microSD, fingerprint reader on the back.
I still have it, but there’s no updates for it; I’ve thought about looking into something comparable to grapheneOS but didn’t find anything for LG phones newer than the v40
Sounds like she’s so toxic even to Tories that she perceives her only political future is on the far right. She’s still Liz Truss though, so she won’t even be any particular leader in that sphere, just a show pony to trot out as a convert, and maybe to hide in the back office if they actually gain enough power to have to do something administratively complex.
Aaron Levin Smith made a video on Shelleys whereabouts somewhat recently. IIRC she’s in a compound in California somewhere and she’s fine, by all outward appearances. I’m pretty sure she’s drinking the kool ade like the rest of them.
Appearances can be deceiving. They wouldn’t be hiding her in a compound for years and not responding to inquiries if everything was good between her and the CoS.
From what I understand, she doesn’t seem to be held against her will. If Aaron Levin Smith is to be believed (being that he is a former Sea Org member, I’d say his credibility is good), she’s been seen out and about running errands and the like, but always with a security detail. There’s a decent chance that I’m misremembering something, though, so take this with a pinch of salt.
Yeah people are desperate to believe horror stories especially involving a woman but the reality is very likely she’s just a member of the cult living a relaxed and affluent life on the money they swindle.
Huh, interesting. Probably not “fine” though since if she’s at Gold / Int Base she’s probably being held against her will, considering that the whole base is sorta built around being like a prison compound and they even have private security “pursuit teams” to hunt down escapees.
Edit: not to say that everybody at Int is being held against their will, but it’s where eg. The Hole is so if somebody is being held, Int is probably where they’d be
According to some former members of Scientology, conditions within Gold Base are harsh, with staff members receiving sporadic paychecks of $50 at most, working seven days a week, and being subjected to punishments for failing to meet work quotas.[2] Media reports have stated that around 100 people a year try to escape from the base but most are soon retrieved by “pursuit teams”. Despite many accounts of mistreatment from ex-members, law enforcement investigations and lawsuits against Scientology have been thwarted by the First Amendment’s guarantee of religious freedom and the church’s ability to rely on “ministerial exemptions” in employment law. Scientology denies any mistreatment and calls the base “the ideal setting for professional and spiritual growth”.
the campaign paid in advance due to Asheville’s policy for short-notice bookings
This makes it sound more like coincidence than the city actually doing anything about Trump being a deadbeat.
Not complaining, since that is a fair policy to have, but it doesn’t sound like anyone is “sticking it to him” like the article makes it sound.
While it would be improper to prohibit Trump to speak just because he is crap, if he is a known deadbeat, I don’t know why some of these places don’t pass an amendment to prohibit anyone renting space while they currently have past due fees. If Trump or whoever it may be stiffs the city, it’s the residents picking up that loss, which is unfair to everyone.
I actually put this paragraph in the description of the original post:
While the campaign paid in advance due to Asheville’s policy for short-notice bookings, Trump has a long history of failing to paycities for billed rally fees, leaving the White House in January 2021 with at least $850,000 in unpaid rally debt. Most of the bills are still unpaid, including more than $500,000 owed to the city of El Paso, Texas.
…but I guess the description doesn’t get included in crossposts (at least for some clients).
Not complaining, since that is a fair policy to have, but it doesn’t sound like anyone is “sticking it to him” like the article makes it sound.
I think the article is fair, but the headline is misleading.
Lol my bad, I went right to reading the article without reading the summary and pointed it out because it was tucked into the middle of the full article.
Now that I see it, great job on your part, I’m not used to seeing the important details in the blurb!
