TDT: Video of Sheriff Deputies Shooting Kidnap Victim Raises Grave Concerns
Also: Eclipse energy, destroying the 'analog' step-by-step, plus more!
When any individual - or collective of individuals - in Authority attempts to bury facts to avoid accountability, a reckoning must be held. In the eyes of an increasingly-wary public, cover-ups are oft worse than the incident itself, because is creates a perception of malevolent intent.
Welcome to this edition of the Three-Dot Tablet [TDT], a weekly news-digest where I seek out the headlines others may not be covering (or not covering well), and - with healthy doses of passion, common sense, and brevity - discuss them with raw, unfiltered commentary.
Let's get to it…

Teen, reported kidnapped, was fatally shot by deputies as she obeyed their commands, video shows
NBC News
After 17 months of explanations (excuses?), footage from the shooting of 15-year-old Savannah Graziano has finally been released.
It is not good…
A California teenager whose father was believed to have kidnapped her in September 2022 was fatally shot by deputies as she followed their commands, and she didn’t appear to be wearing tactical gear as officials previously claimed, newly released video shows.
In the video you can hear one of the San Bernardino County deputies beckoning the teenager forward, encouraging her to approach him; his efforts appear to be driven to earnestly protect her, get her out of the potential line-of-fire.
Then, seemingly out of nowhere, multiple law-enforcement officers opened fire on the child, killing her on-site. Her father, who was accused of kidnapping the teen, was also killed during the incident.
I know, that is ugly, but let us hit the pause button before rising in anger. I can accept that genuine mistakes are possible during high-pressure police situations. Most of us outside of law-enforcement have no concept of reacting in life-or-death moments like these, so a degree of grace is important to maintain until a full investigation is completed.
So yes, I can accept mistakes do occur; what I cannot accept, however, is a concerted effort to cover-up said-mistakes. And that… appears to be what has happened here.
Sheriff Shannon Dicus has challenged that notion, however, suggesting that the video is being taken out of context. Okay, and if the video was the only evidence? Sure, I could entertain that possibility.
However, there have been a series of highly-suspicious actions by his department which call into question such claims; nevertheless, the Sheriff asserts that the ongoing Department of Justice [DOJ] investigation will support his declarations.
We’ll see.
As many subscribers know, while I am highly critical of federal agents (or really, any officers who answer to the Globalist Cabal first ), I have been a very vocal supporter of county sheriffs; however, I have also acknowledged that every barrel has bad apples, and this Dicus character is coming across as one of those rotten fruits.
When any individual - or collective of individuals - in Authority attempts to bury facts to avoid accountability, a reckoning must be held. In the eyes of an increasingly-wary public, cover-ups are oft worse than the incident itself, because is creates a perception of malevolent intent.
But here is the thing: Since this involves a county sheriff’s office… a DOJ investigation is not necessary to take action. Sheriffs, as elected officials, answer to the people of his or her county, so the people have more power than they realize. They can demand the Sheriff stands down until the facts are fully vetted, or even pressure county officials to pursue changes locally. They - WE - have the power.
The fact we do not understand this is a sickening result of the Globalist drive toward dominance. Because of psy-ops on national and international scales, we have been brainwashed into believing we are utterly powerless, instead thinking we must rely upon others to act on our behaves.
We may not have any control over WEF shenanigans, nor presidential high-jinks either, but when it comes to local issues? We do indeed have the power!
We only have to have the will - and the wisdom - to grab it…
Folly of Science
The April 8 solar eclipse could impact power
CBS News
Tomorrow - Monday - many in our nation will bear witness to a total eclipse of the sun. While conspiracy theories about the celestial event (ranging from “plausible” to “You smoked from the really good stash, didn’t you?”) have been saturating the Internets, there is one concern which could actually cause some problems.
Avoidable problems…
The upcoming solar eclipse on April 8 will darken the sky for millions as the moon passes in front of the sun – but the spectacle could also affect how much solar power gets generated.
Wait, so solar power is… unreliable?
The Electric Reliability Council of Texas, known as ERCOT, which provides solar service to 90% of the state, says the event will affect solar production in Texas between 12:10 p.m. and 3:10 p.m. CDT while the eclipse passes over the state from the southwest to the northeast.
Well, color me shocked… shocked, I say - SHOCKED! [Was that convincing enough, Klaus?]
Seriously, though. How many more examples of the complete unsustainability of solar power in particular (and alterative energy in general) are we going to need before ‘the masses’ stop buying into these insane notions.
We have known that this solar eclipse was coming for literally centuries, yet - brace yourself - no allowances could be made to prepare in advance for a three-hour timeframe when the sun’s light was going to disappear from the sky?
Come on.
Oh, and as to those conspiracy theories? If you are hearing doomsday predictions surrounding the eclipse, relax. After all, the esteemed physicist, mathematician, astronomer, alchemist, and theologian Isaac Newton assured us we are cool until 2060.
So, you know - we still have time…
Natural Elements
Automakers Phase Out Manual Transmission Cars
Breitbart
The targeting of Natural, analog living continues, step-by-creeping-step…
Manual transmission for cars in the U.S. was once the norm before improved technology made automatics the preferred option for any and all drivers. Now automatic vehicles almost totally dominate the market, drivers who still prefer the feeling of control offered by a manual are left wondering just who supplies them.
Manual transmissions have been a practical and symbolic expression of rugged independence since the popularity of ‘automatic’ transmissions first began to take root in the 1970s. Now, due in part to our ‘need’ for the easiest possible path, one more type of vehicle where the driver has a modicum of control is disappearing.
You may think I am overstating this, or engaging in fanciful exaggeration, but ever remember how our adversaries operate. They consider the subjugation of the American / Western spirit to be a generational fight; this means methodically wearing away at even the smallest things which suggest the individual has any power.
They do this because they understand the psychology of a free individual: They know that in order to get someone to surrender their rights to speak, to vote, to ‘keep and bear’… you must first chip away at those little things.
The things which empower, on a subconscious level. The manual transmission… is one of those things.
[For the record? I have only owned one ‘manual’ vehicle in the last 20 years. While that has been in part due to the difficulty in finding affordable options, I admit that I too fell victim to the psy-op; as such, I am just as guilty as everyone else.]
Of course, if they had tried to outright ban such vehicles people would have went out and purchased thousands of them en mass; the popularity of the AR-15 is proof of that. That is not how they have worked here, however - they instead insidiously appealed to our human weaknesses, and we - in our desire for ease and comfort - turned away from those autos.
And now, within a few years, cars with a manual transmission will likely disappear. And with that, one more element of transportation will be entirely under their control…
Artificial Living
Taco Bell, Pizza Hut going 'AI-first' with fast-food innovations
Fox Business
So… who didn’t see this coming?…
Yum! Brands, the operator of KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and The Habit Burger Grill restaurants, is embracing technology with plans for "AI-powered" fast food, according to a Wall Street Journal report.
This is what happens when you artificially elevate ‘minimum’ wages beyond what the market can sustain; businesses will seek out cost-saving options. And with the rise of AI, ‘fast-food employment’ - one of the most prolific ‘starter jobs’ in history, one which was never intended to provide the mythical ‘living wage’ - will simply vaporize.
They knew this would happen, though - in truth, this was the intention.
It is not about the employees, of course - those corporate vipers do not give one care about us silly commoners, beyond how they can use us as willing pawns. No, this targets small business owners, the bane of Globalist transnationals, for while the mega-corps can afford to absorb such costs and also possess the means to develop AI options?
The small business owner can not… does not.
This is a truth the employees of Fosters Freeze in Lemoore, California recently learned in the hardest of ways, when the small business had to shut down due to Gavin Newsome’s ridiculous $20.00 an hour minimum wage for such workers. They showed the day it went into effect - on April Fools Day, of all days - only to learn they were receiving their last checks.
This is all part of the far-reaching agenda, my friends, and unless the slumbering masses wake up to how they are being used to facilitate said-agenda? The ‘small business’ paradigm in America, which has driven the greatest economy the planet has ever known, will be eradicated within a generation.
But hey - at least you’ll have cricket sammiches to choke down, so ‘be happy’…

And Finally…
Shakira Says Her Sons Sasha and Milan 'Absolutely Hated' Barbie: 'They Felt It Was Emasculating'
International performer Shakira had some thoughts on last summer’s ‘Barbie’ movie thing.
She did indeed…
In April's cover story for Allure, the musician, 47, revealed that her sons Sasha, 9, and Milan, 11, who she shares with ex Gerard Piqué, didn't like Barbie, adding that she wasn't a fan either. "My sons absolutely hated it," Shakira told the outlet. "They felt it was emasculating. And I agree, to a certain extent."
Wait, a woman in the entertainment industry standing up for her sons… her male children? Am I reading that right?
Keep in mind, this is not some right-wing militant; we are talking about a woman who attended President Barack Obama’s 2009 inauguration, after all. Still, she has always been a bit of an outlier in the entertainment realm - in that world while not being entirely of it - so such comments are not completely surprising.
Of course there was backlash to her thoughts, because ‘Feminism!’… or something. The ever-exhausting Buzzfeed (seriously folks, the crap I endure to bring you the news LOL) raked Shakira over the coals for daring to put her boys first, with other outlets and commenters on X following suit.
However, there were also plenty of people who expressed support for her, even thanking her for taking a principled stand. So - as we rightly call out those who target our children - we should too give a nod of respect to those who step up for what is right.
Oh, and also? As of this writing, Shakira has apologized for nothing. Good…
And that is all for this edition of the Three-Dot Tablet. Have a great week ahead, and as always… stay frosty!

Notes…
-- Though it pains me - because I LOVE talking about the weather - due to constraints-of-space I am forced to suspend the “Sunday Wx” segment from the TDT. I will work toward integrating it into another publication in the future, should one play out.

I continue to repair and keep roadworthy, my 2001 Maxima SE with standard drive. The only occasions since 1981, on which I have driven an automatic, have been when my standard drive vehicle was in for repairs. And after all the computers, ABS, airbags and "Safety" devices, it has been the manual drive that has kept me safe in a number of stickly situations (both weather and other drivers). I prefer to drive my car, not to be driven by it.
Training is such a concern regarding police. They send our cops to train with the IDF. We should not be surprised that there's an indifference to human life.
