  2. What's the time stamp on that?? He looks so tired, like they've had to do 20 takes.
  3. God Damn! If I were the governor of Texas I would shut the border down myself and tell biden to go suck eggs. This is bullshit period.

  6. I think its fake https://gotledblog.wordpress.com/the-presence-object/ The Presence “Object” by Rick Barrett (http://stores.ebay.com/Ricks-Cool-Collectibles) Most collectors have questions about the famous statue that’s on the cover of Led Zeppelin’s 1976 Presence album, which is called “The Object”. This feature will give some background on it and hopefully answer some questions that commonly arise. First of all, after graphic design company Hipgnosis designed the Presence album cover, in which The Object was painted into the various scenes, Led Zeppelin had real Objects copyrighted and produced. That’s what was used to photograph the album’s black and white inner sleeves. Shortly thereafter, Alva Museum Graphics in New York was contracted to produce 1000 individually-numbered 12-inch tall black Objects for Swan Song to use in their promotion of the record. Each side of the base of each Object was imprinted with one of the following four pieces of information: 1) LED ZEPPELIN (In ¼-inch tall lettering) 2) “THE OBJECT” © 1976 SWAN SONG INC (In VERY small lettering) 3) PRESENCE (In ¼-inch tall lettering) 4) ____/1000 (The individual issue number was hand-etched here) The originals came in brown cardboard boxes taped shut with brown paper filament tape. On the side of each box was a flat white sticker with “The Object” and “Copyright 1976 Swan Song” written in red. Some boxes have the number of the Object inside written in black magic marker on the top of the box. These brown cardboard boxes were nothing fancy; without the sticker it was just a plain brown cardboard box. When opened, one could see that The Object was packed in a brownish padded blanket of sorts; like those padded mailers filled with that shredded newspaper stuff (originals were NOT packaged with bubble wrap, and the cardboard boxes did NOT originally come shrink-wrapped). This is the only way and the only time The Object was ever released by Swan Song/Atlantic Records. In the late 1970’s to early 1980’s, somewhere in the vicinity of 500 reproductions were made. There were many variations of the bogus Objects and they were all from the same source. None of the repros were numbered higher than 650 if memory serves me correctly, though there was one numbered 666! There was also some overlap of some numbers on the fakes, but it’s doubtful there are any more than three of the same number on any of the repros. The numbering of these was done by hand, but they were not done chronologically; it seemed like whatever suited the bootleggers at the time was the norm. Most of the first run of repros had some cheap green felt on the bottom of The Object; subsequent ones were just plain black-bottomed. The differences between the originals and the 1980’s reproductions are as follows: 1) Originals: flat black paint. Repros: glossy or semi-gloss black paint. 2) Originals: very smooth sides and base; little or no imperfections. Repros: bulges and pits were prevalent, though not all that noticeable from a fair distance away; various flaws abound…brush marks from the paint, difficult to read etchings on the base, bulging top edge. 3) Originals: underneath the thin coat of paint, a flesh color appears IF a scratch or chip is not very deep; if deep then white shows through. Repros: only a white color shows through if scratched or chipped. A REAL Object is on the left in all of these photos; a reproduction Object from the 1980’s is on the right: Both originals and repros were made of a white gypsum cement called Hydrocal, were of the same height and weighed the same. The originals were made of a higher quality material, which is one reason why there are less flaws than the hastily-produced fakes. It’s fairly safe to say that once you’ve seen an original Object, then you’ll always be able to tell the difference between a genuine and a fake, but the differences are subtle enough for some to have been fooled by the reproductions. Original Objects are not easy to find; most people who have them seem to want to keep them. Unlike many Zeppelin items that seem to just appeal to hardcore Zeppelin fans, there are a LOT of music fans and collectors of promo items that want or have an Object. Real ones in an unopened box are becoming very rare; most people that get them open them up. Also, there has been a more recent incarnation of reproduction Objects, manufactured by an artist in Oregon. These are very easy to tell from both the originals and reproduction Objects from several decades ago because they have very rounded edges, are lighter in weight, and are usually numbered 310/1000. Lastly, many more varying-quality repros from various other sources are making the rounds on Ebay currently, so do your homework if you’re looking for an original. For the record (no pun intended): I do not have an Object for sale, nor do I know where to find an original one. ©2016 by Rick Barret and GotLed
  7. Things just got even more funny! BBC says kanye west has announced his bid for president in 2024 OMG!!! https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-63754702
  8. Mr. Gates believes in synthetic meat for all RICH nations. It's not that big a stretch to think he agrees with people like klaus schwab. He thinks the world should be reinvented and reordered in order to control health risks and he would like to see vaccine passports for all people around the globe. Hmmm, I wonder, did anyone here vote for these people? https://www.technologyreview.com/2021/02/14/1018296/bill-gates-climate-change-beef-trees-microsoft/ Q: Do you think plant-based and lab-grown meats could be the full solution to the protein problem globally, even in poor nations? Or do you think it’s going to be some fraction because of the things you’re talking about, the cultural love of a hamburger and the way livestock is so central to economies around the world? A: For Africa and other poor countries, we’ll have to use animal genetics to dramatically raise the amount of beef per emissions for them. Weirdly, the US livestock, because they’re so productive, the emissions per pound of beef are dramatically less than emissions per pound in Africa. And as part of the [Bill and Melinda Gates] Foundation’s work, we’re taking the benefit of the African livestock, which means they can survive in heat, and crossing in the monstrous productivity both on the meat side and the milk side of the elite US beef lines. So no, I don’t think the poorest 80 countries will be eating synthetic meat. I do think all rich countries should move to 100% synthetic beef. You can and will get used to the taste difference, (whether you like it or not) and the claim is they’re going to make it taste even better over time. Eventually, that green premium is modest enough that you can sort of change the [behavior of] people or use regulation to totally shift the demand. So for meat in the middle-income-and-above countries, I do think it’s possible. But it’s one of those ones where, wow, you have to track it every year and see, and the politics [are challenging]. There are all these bills that say it’s got to be called, basically, lab garbage to be sold. They don’t want us to use the beef label.
  9. Benny Hill King of Late night comedy!
  10. Hunter biden flew around the world with his father meeting all the people he needed to meet in order to sell access to his father. I'm sure an investigation will show far more evidence of crimes than what has already been shown on tv. Or maybe you think that tony bobulinski is also russian disinformation. Unlike all of the lefts so called witnesses Tony is real and has the balls to come forward in person to tell what he knows about the bidens. Also, ever hear of something called a second opinion? there is no one standard way of medicine. About 12 years ago my father got sick and three different doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. His regular physician, his cancer doctor and a neural surgeon all had three different opinions as to what was making him sick. The cancer doctor said he would bet money that it was his cancer and the neural surgeon even went as far as calling my father a liar when he said he couldn't move his legs above a couple inches. I actually stood there while the three of them argued about the situation. I called my mother on the phone and told her to have my dad moved to boston. That night they diagnosed a blood infection and three desiccated vertebrae one of which was a bit crushed caused by resting a heavy object on his shoulder while he worked. They put him on antibiotics right away and within 12 hours he was feeling better then he had to have the vertebrae fused. If I hadn't gotten another opinion my father would be dead. fauci is not the be all end all of doctors and any doctor that says he should be the only one listened to is not to be listened to. Hey if you want a transgender to do the job it's no big deal to me as long as they can do it right. It's your qualifications that mean something not your race, sexuality or gender.
  11. It's exactly as I said, trump has no convictions and neither do his kids. I'm sure a good investigator could find some crimes if we have him investigate you and all the people you know too so keep on keepin on because your posts are a much needed source of mirth. Have fun rotting from the head down. BTW nader also claims ties with the clintons.
  12. Dont tell me you believe this shit too! Are you kidding me? what's the big omission from that bullshit meme? How Many Convictions? NONE Trumps kids, completely clean like it or not the left has had a microscope up their assholes for the last 6 years and not one piece of actionable dirt or crime has precipitated from any of the investigations into their doings. Now, the very same people who have been telling you about how bad trump and his family are, are telling you don't worry about the obvious crimes seen on the lap top and that the president isn't involved in any of that stuff. AND YOU BELIVE IT! It's beyond the pale that anyone who has watched the video of hunter telling a russian hooker that his father will do anything he tells him too could then say to themselves "oh he wouldn't talk about state security stuff with hookers would he" no, hunter? no....HMMM a crack smoking whore banging back room dealing scumbag like hunter No Way! TRUMPS KIDS ARE THE REAL BAD GUYS!! I can see people on the left right now, how bummed out they are that they cannot blame trump for this war because we all know if trump were in office and this war happened under his admin they'd be screaming bloody murder and Oh the height of irony. Can you image how angry the left would be if it were trumps kids selling their paintings to anonymous buyers for millions of dollars?! They'd be livid that no would would know who was buying access to the white house but hey, common sense doesn't run to far for lefties anyway.
  13. Hey now, those people are refugees! That's how they get away with saying the border is closed and they certainly kept us safe from that tennis player though.
  14. Yeah, the left wants to curb your thought and the right wants you to express it. Quite the difference there.
  15. UNBELIEVEABLE!!! 7th TIME IS THE CHARM! Goddamn, Another round of trump probes!! I guess not finding anything during the last 6 means they must be close to getting to the truth.
