Minnesota Spy Balloon Symposium Meetup Report
A report from a recent "Secret Spy Balloon Symposium" meetup in Elk River, Minnesota, describes 17 attendees braving a blizzard to gather. The event featured a custom-made "33" themed leather journal as a prize, which was eventually gifted to one of the hosts for use in podcast note-taking. The segment highlights the strong community bonds formed through local listener-organized events.
Chism Cook, now Sir Chummy of the Texas Hill Country, requested a lavish roundtable meal including fire-roasted elk tenderloin and Brussels sprouts sautéed in bacon grease. He corrected the pronunciation of his hometown, Bulverde, and his own name. The segment concludes with a series of "whole load" jingles featuring Joe Biden.
European COVID-19 Curfews and Doctors for Truth Lawsuit
Governments across Europe, including France and the Netherlands, are reintroducing strict COVID-19 restrictions and 9 p.m. curfews. In the Netherlands, Dr. Elke de Klerk and the group Doctors for Truth are launching a lawsuit against the state, alleging that the pandemic is being sustained by false-positive PCR tests. They claim the virus should be treated as a normal flu and report that 87,000 nurses are resisting the prepared vaccine.
West Virginia Chemical Spill, Freedom Industries, Coal Washing
A leak at a Freedom Industries plant in West Virginia released 4-methylcyclohexane methanol (MCHM), a chemical used for washing coal, into the Elk River. The spill affected the water supply for 300,000 people in nine counties, leading to a ban on using tap water for drinking or bathing. While media reports emphasized widespread vomiting, the local mayor publicly drank the water to demonstrate that the immediate toxicity might be overstated by "alternative media" fear-mongering.
A visit to Glenwood Springs, Colorado, included a meetup featuring self-processed elk sausages and a stay near the historic Hotel Colorado. The location is noted for its association with Teddy Roosevelt, who reportedly frequented the area for its hot springs over a century ago.
During a visit to Austin, the hosts dined at Hudson's on the Bend, a restaurant specializing in game meats. The meal included elk rubbed with coffee grinds and chocolate, as well as trout fed on shrimp to produce a pinkish color. The culinary experience is cited as a highlight of the scouting trip to Texas.
